[The second shift, the next shift will be before noon tomorrow.] 】

"Ha, there are so many people."

Cai Wei put his hand on his forehead and looked at the door of Cai Jing's house dozens of steps away.

There was a surge of people, from the door of Cai Jing's house to the entrance of the alley where he was, all of them were blocked.

At the entrance of the alley, several officials were stomping their feet and scolding. It seems that the residents in the same alley as Cai Jing can't enter the house. The front door was blocked, and the back door was blocked.

"It's a disaster for the pond fish." Cai Wei looked very happy.

Before Feng Congyi sent people to the official office responsible for the security of the right wing of the old city to report the case, the Guan Gou officials and the inspection did not dare to delay, and soon sent a team of soldiers and horses to protect the personal safety of the Cai family, but a group of protective soldiers were weak and powerless, as long as they did not smash the door. wall, the rest as if not seen.

Even the neighbors were victimized, and they were all affected by the pond fish. Stones, bricks, rubble, and even cow dung and horse dung wrapped in lotus leaves were thrown into the yard. Some of them scattered in mid-air, spilling inside and outside the courtyard.

Cai Wei knew that Cai Jing and Cai Bian lived in an official mansion. At this time, Cai Bian also fell into bad luck. Cai Yuandu is Wang Xianggong's proud protégé, but this time, even Wang Xianggong will not help him, and it is useless to ask Wang Anshi's door - if he can go out now.

Because of Cai Jing's selfishness, her daughter can't be the prime minister's wife, and the pillow in Wang Xianggong's house is blown by the wind, and Wang Anshi has to walk around.

Cai Wei got off the horse from a distance, let his companions wait outside, and slowly swayed over,

He is still young and likes to join in the fun, and when he heard everything Cai Jing had done in the palace, he ran over to see how Cai Jing, the erectionist, had failed. Seeing Cai Jing's family, which was surrounded by three layers inside and three outside, his interest was even higher. Drilling around in the crowd, listening to the words scolding Cai Jing from the mouths of the little people, it was like drinking ice water in dog days.

casually found an old man who looked like he had a lot of things, and Cai Wei asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" Which one owes the debt and doesn't pay? ”

Seeing that Cai Wei was dressed as a scholar, the old man didn't dare to be rude, nodded and replied: "Xiucai, you don't know the way, if you don't pay the debt, where will so many people come?" This is an official who does the imperial history! ”

"That's a big deal." Cai Wei's face was a little surprised, "How dare anyone provoke Yushi?!" Officials can scold! ”

"Yushi scolds, you have to scold reasonably, scold reasonably, and the official family can scold, but who is Han Xianggong, who is qualified to scold?!"

"Han Xianggong?" The expression on Cai Wei's face seemed to be saying that he couldn't believe it, "Which Han Xianggong?" ”

"It's Xuanhui Xianggong. Which other man could there be? The Xiangzhou Han Xianggong in the past has long since returned to the sky to be a god. ”

Hearing that no one knew Han Jiang's words, Cai Wei smiled secretly in his heart, "Oh, how did he frame the Xuanhui Xianggong?" ”

"How else can you be framed? That is to say, Han Xianggong's fame is too great, and the credit he has made is too great, so it's called that merit or something."

"Merit is not rewarded."

"Yes, yes, that's it, it's not rewarded." The old man shouted, "So the Cai thief is going to behead Han Xianggong, just in case!" ”

Although the Cai thief on the left and the Cai thief on the right listened to it a little piercing, Cai Wei still asked with interest, "Is this true?" ”

"Is that fake?! Otherwise, there would be so many people who came to smash his door? The old man Amitabha Buddha said twice: "Fortunately, the queen has a clear understanding, so that Xuanhui Xianggong was not harmed by that traitor." ”

"That's it! It is! ”

Seeing that someone was chatting here, it was still a scholar who looked at some identities and asked, and a group of men and women hugged over, and they counted Cai Jing's guilt in a gossiping manner.

Needless to say, being greedy for ink and accepting favorites, favoritism and bending the law for personal gain are also indispensable. There are also Cai family's family members who go to buy things, either refusing to give money, or bargaining ruthlessly, anyway, there are no surprises.

Here, an old man dressed up in good spirits said that Cai Jing had an old grudge against Han Xuanhui, and hated Han Xuanhui for not promoting him to the Ministry of Health and Welfare;

An old woman over there who was holding a string of Buddhist beads said that Cai Jing was the reincarnation of a tengu, and that he had bitten Han Xuanhui in the sky in his previous life and had caused cause and effect;

Cai Wei's eyebrows fluttered when he heard it, and after only half a day's work, the rumors became strange, although it was not worth it, it was very interesting.

The happy mood was maintained until Cai Wei returned home and stepped into Cai Qu's study.

"Is Cai Yuanchang very lively over there?" Cai did sit at the table and didn't move, but his face turned a little away.

Cai Wei was going to hide it from Cai Qu, but he thought that as soon as he entered the study, he was exposed, and whispered: "My son is just passing by." ”

"Passing by from Dongshuiguan to the right compartment of the old city?"

Seeing that Lao Tzu didn't even know where he went, Cai Wei didn't dare to prevaricate anymore, and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "The child knows that he is wrong." ”

"Forget it, pay attention to your words and deeds in the future." Cai really didn't have the heart to teach his son at this time, there were too many things to worry about.

"My lord, what else do you have to order?" Cai Wei asked cautiously. As soon as he saw Cai Qu, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he wished he could leave early.

"Yes, how do you want to pay off the debt! Can you do it? Cai was indeed very impatient, and waved his hand to let his confused son retreat.

When his son left, Cai Qu sighed.

Because of the matter of Yushitai, he owed Zhang Dian and Han Gang a great favor. Fortunately, Zhang Dun said that he had his own problems to add so many branches.

But Han Gang is different, he has lost too much on Cai Jing, and behind Cai Jing is Cai Qu - on the surface, it is true, whether it is Han Gang's loss or Cai Jing's backstage! Cai Cheng can't be regarded as having nothing to do with himself at all, and the necessary compensation still has to be given.

What's more, Han Gang also helped clean up the portal and helped him achieve the predetermined goal.

Cai did sigh again, and if someone else relied on it, he would rely on it. But Han Gang and Zhang Dian are different at that level. Only those with equal status are eligible for exchange. Only when the status is equal and the strength is equal, will he choose to unite instead of confrontation.

Han Gang this time was not when Wang Anshi was attacked by the old party, he deliberately resigned and forced the Son of Heaven to choose one of the two, but kicked Cai Jing down, and then stepped into the mud hard. He never liked to use others to get things done. Such a person, Cai really only dares to make friends, and does not dare to offend easily.

Bold, tough, and extremely cunning.

It's just that when he was in the palace, affected by the atmosphere, Cai really thought that Han Gang had made a big bet, and he insisted on maintaining the stability of Qi Studies. Between official position and academics, Han Gang chose academics, which in Cai Qu's view, was indeed a big loss.

However, after returning to the political hall, after listening to the question between Han Gang and Empress Taishang in the hall, Cai really figured it all out.

Han Gang didn't come up with any price, he didn't plan to return to the two mansions in the near future, but now it's good, the world thinks that he has lost a lot, but it has made Han Gang get a great benefit in terms of reputation, and save him trouble in the future. When Han Gang wanted to enter the two mansions in the future, there were a bunch of reasons for abolishing the oath. Look at those two sentences, how many loopholes Han Gang left to exploit!

Cai did scratch his head with a pen, and returned the favor of such a person, just a palace servant can't mention chopsticks, and he must have higher and more benefits to offset the debt of favor.

If Su Song hadn't entered the West Mansion at the beginning, it would have been easier to do. But Han Gang had already pushed Su Song into Xifu. This debt of affection will not fall on Su Song. Moreover, Zhang Dang, Han Gang, and Su Song have an extremely close relationship, and if Su Song or Zhang Dian is interested in Dongfu in the future, Han Gang will definitely play a role behind him.

It is more likely that Zhang Dian entered the East Mansion as the prime minister, and Su Song accepted the position of the head of the West Mansion. If the three of them work at the same time, it is not impossible to get this result.

This is also something that Cai does not want to see.

After thinking about it a few times, Cai did say to himself, "I still have to send Han San a dragging past!" ”

There is no need to think much about the question of candidates. Han Gang had only made trouble for him before, and the third secretary made Lu Jiawen disgraced because of this, and now it is most convenient to pull him over, and it can also make Han Gang unable to raise objections.

——I can't be a third envoy, but I want to be a Hanlin bachelor, presumably Shen Kuo won't have any opinions.

Cai did think about it, there was a vacancy in Yutang, and proposed to let Shen Kuo do it, and Empress Taishang would have no objections, and she should simply agree.

Cai really knew very well that Shen Kuo was a wall grass, and if he summoned him back, he might stab Han Gang in the back. It was he who changed his past mistakes from then on, and honestly stood on Han Gang's side, and when he was tired of Hanlin and wanted to drill into the two mansions, some Han Gang suffered hard.

Cai did lean back in his chair, feeling a little proud in his heart, after this personal debt was repaid, it could be regarded as an account. And it saves yourself a lot of trouble.

Although things turned out unexpectedly, the expected results were obtained, and arguably, even better than expected. In this way, he can take advantage of the current situation to thicken his team, and when Han Jiang Zhishi is in charge, the day of being in charge of the dynasty will finally come.

After removing the cost, Cai did start to take stock of the net profit he got this time.

One, two, three, four.

There were at least four positions in the Imperial Observatory alone, which he could hold in his hands. As for the specific candidates for the office, Cai did already have a belly case.

But before that, Cai did decide to train the people who were going to be promoted, so that they would not become Cai Jing's bad dogs who would turn against their masters. However, a dog that is too loyal and obedient does not necessarily have a bad dog with a bad personality that can come in handy. So you'll have to find someone who is more useful, but also slightly more dangerous.

"Go and ask Uncle Xinghe." Cai did command the relatives outside.

It has been a long time since he was running under Cai Qumen, and he has some prestige under Cheng Haomen, and he is even more valued by some old ministers in Luoyang.

Where there are left and right, there are really few people in the world who can compare to him. I don't know how Lu Dao is on Lu Gong's side and Sima Guang's side, how he concealed the past.

But Cai does believe that the punishment will never betray him at this stage. A good dog should know who is the owner and who can give them meat.

And when Xingshu has the ability to find meat independently, Cai will indeed dispose of him very simply.

This is very important.
