Cai You wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Yin Niechang of Kaifeng Mansion, who was also wiping his sweat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face: "I know, since it's self-hanging, it's self-hanging." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The official's side...... How to explain the lowly position? Nie Chang asked.

This Nie Chang's original name was Nie Shan, the word is lucky, he is a native of Linchuan, Fuzhou, although his official position is not as good as Cai You, but he is so small in front of Cai You for another reason. A few key steps in his career, whether it is the right division member Wailang in the early years, or the Zhilong Tu later, and then to the current Zhikaifeng Mansion, they are all recommended by Cai You. Therefore, he made a full subordinate to superior posture towards Cai You, and when he learned that Zhu Mianhan died outside Kaifeng City, he came to Cai You for advice as soon as possible.

"Honestly, the official family...... As long as you can get by on the surface. Hehe, hanged, hanged......"

Nie Chang understood: "Then the humble post said, Zhu Mian committed suicide in fear of crime after leaving Beijing?" ”

"That's it......"

Cai You wiped his sweat again, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion, Zhou Quan has gone too far. Since the official family has taken Zhu Mian from his post and exiled him to Hainan, Zhou Quan should be satisfied, instead of hanging an official favorite minister halfway for a woman.

Even if it's just a former favorite!

The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, Cai You feels that although Zhu Mian's methods to deal with Zhou Quan are unbearable, they are still within the rules, but Zhou Quan's methods are not at all within the rules of today's officialdom.

When the father and son of the Zhou family were in the market, it was okay to use such means to deal with a small official who had a grudge against the family, but now that he is the Marquis of the East China Sea, he still uses this method to deal with others, and Zhu Mian!

This made Cai You moved and threatened, if Zhou Quan knew the small actions behind his back, knew that Zhu Mian's actions actually had elements that he secretly instigated, knew that Wang Hao had a very good personal relationship with him, and knew that he wanted to sit in the position of prime minister...... Will he do the same against himself?

Cai You has always felt that his father is old, and he is a little confused in doing things, for example, his support for Zhou Quan. In Cai You's view, with Cai Jing's support for Zhou Quan, he can put forward higher requirements to Zhou Quan, and Zhou Quan will naturally give the Cai family greater benefits.

But no, the Cai family is only one of the many forces in the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, and there is nothing special about it.

What's more, Zhou Quan's benefits to the Cai family, even if it were through the hands of his son Cai Xing, were only given to the Cai family, not him Cai You.

The struggle for power has not been a father and son since ancient times.

I don't know who said this, it sounded in Cai You's heart, he made up his mind, drove it away, and then ordered to go home.

He was going to talk to his father.

"Do you think Zhou Quan has gone too far? I think he did it right...... You see, it is true that Zhu Mian is dead, but Zhu Mian's family has not been implicated, at least not now. When Cai You complained in front of Cai Jing, Cai Jingjing was listening quietly, not in a hurry to express his opinion, and after he finished speaking, Cai Jing said slowly.

"But why did Zhu Mian die?"

"Why don't you die, if he does, will he save Zhou Quan's life?" Cai Jing asked rhetorically.

Cai You was silent, and then said: "Then you shouldn't use this means, my lord, you have connived at Zhou Quan too much, and now his arrogance is so strong that even you, the prime minister, can't suppress it!" ”

Cai Qian next to him covered his mouth and suddenly smiled, Cai You glanced at him, and he also knew that his agitation method was too clumsy.

"If you don't connive at Zhou Quan, do you think ...... How long can the old man be together? Cai Jing's dizzy old eyes looked at Cai You from behind his reading glasses.

Cai You was dumbfounded.

With Zhao Ji's temperament, in order to avoid the appearance of power, frequent exchange of appearance is his usual means. But now there is an invisible pressure on Zhou Quan, and the DPRK and China must maintain stability as much as possible and have a person who can hold back, so after Cai Jing's return to the prime minister, his position is still very stable.

Even Zhao Ji showed several changes of appearance before, and even prepared Wang Hao and other spare people, but every time at this time, Zhou Quan had to give birth to some incidents. For example, Wang Hao is now in an idle position, and he has not even kept his position as the secretary of the household department.

"Moreover, you know that Zhu Mian's death is not the official's mind?" Cai Jing said slowly.

"How is this possible?"

"Over the years, the official family has repaired the palace and the garden, and the flower stone gang, you, Zhu Mian, and a few other people have donated a lot of flowers and stones, you claim to have bought it from the people, but in fact, they all took the opportunity to loot and make a fortune, you are in Beijing, the means are limited after all, Zhu Mian is in Jiangnan, and the number of looted is not 20 million, but 15 or 6 million...... The money spent by the official family to repair Genyue is not as good as the money that Zhu Mian scavenged, and the official family wants to cut down Liao, achieve the great cause of the ancestors and ancestors, and build the Beijing-Xu railway, strengthen the control of the Diqiu iron production area in Xuzhou, and facilitate the eastward advance of the western army in the future...... It all costs money! The money in the treasury is not easy to spend, and the money in the treasury is not willing to be spent, so of course you close ministers should borrow a few money to spend. When Cai Jing said this, he laughed twice, and then stopped talking.

And these words have already shocked Cai You.

At this time, there were only three of them in the room, father and son, if it weren't for this, he would definitely not have heard these words from Cai Jing's mouth.

"Official...... Does the official really think so? Cai You hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I don't know if I think so, but if I were an official, I would think so." Cai Jing waved his hand: "You'er, you are still tender, if you want my position, it will take another ten years." ”

Cai You was silent, then quit and hurried to the palace.

Behind him, Cai Qian was a little worried: "Boss, big brother is going to ......"

Cai Jing's dim eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Your brother has a big heart and wants to be the prime minister, but he has no talent as a prime minister...... Today's events can be regarded as a lesson for him, if he can't even speak in front of the officials, he won't think about the position of prime minister! ”

Cai You asked to see Zhao Ji, naturally he could come to see him at will, if there is nothing to do today, Zhao Ji is basically playing in the palace except for the routine court meeting. When Cai You saw Zhao Ji, he found that the official family seemed to be in a good mood, and he was watching the paintings of several princes, especially standing beside Zhao Kai for a long time, with a look of appreciation on his face.

Zhao Kai has already left the house, probably to compensate, and his Jiawang Wang name has also been replaced by King Yun. However, the palace is connected to Zhao Kai's palace with a flying corridor, that is to say, nominally Zhao Kai leaves the palace and claims to be himself, but in fact it is still very convenient for him to travel to and from the palace.

Zhao Gou was also present, and Cai You glanced at the young prince, who seemed to be obsessed with rails and trains recently, and was focused on studying this aspect. He didn't like Zhao Ji very much, but since he went to Xuzhou and Haizhou as a consolation envoy, Zhao Ji gradually liked him very much.

"Official, the minister has learned a piece of news." Cai You said solemnly.

Qing said.

"Zhu Mian committed suicide." Cai Youdao.

Zhao Ji's face sank slightly, and Zhao Gou looked up over there and glanced at Cai You.

"I know about this matter, Zhu Mian is guilty, but since he committed suicide, he is over...... I have already issued an order to release Zhu Mian's family to return to their hometown. ”

The so-called release of the family to return to their hometown is to drive Zhu Mian's family out of Beijing, which does not say that the Zhu family's property will be returned, which proves that Cai Jing's speculation is right, after learning about Zhu Mian's belongings, even Zhao Ji, the rich son of heaven, was also moved!

"Minister...... The minister ......" Cai You hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Originally, the minister should not have said it, Zhu Mian has been in the southeast all these years, relying on His Majesty's favor, and he has acted too much, especially the looting of people's wealth, and the official family remembers the old feelings and does not pursue the crimes of his family...... Neku! ”

When he said this, the gloom on Zhao Ji's face dissipated half, but Zhao Ji still hesitated and said, "This is not good......

If the official family is worried about the livelihood of his bereaved family, he can keep a grange, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and Zhu Mian's family will not be frozen."

Zhao Gou lowered his head again expressionlessly and continued to draw his own paintings.

Under Cai You's hard persuasion without changing his face, Zhao Ji finally "reluctantly embarrassed" and agreed to copy Zhu Mian's home in Suzhou, and he also asked Cai You to recommend who to send to copy the house, Cai You thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Wang Hao now has no job, and let him go to Suzhou for a walk, the affairs of the worship bureau also need to be taken care of, after Wang Hao goes, he can find a suitable candidate for the official family." ”

"It's okay, let Wang Hao be the main envoy and Li Gang be the deputy envoy, let's go and do this together." Zhao Ji groaned slightly, and added another candidate.

It's just that this candidate surprised Cai You.

Li Gang once served his disciples, and even now, Li Gang still has dealings with him, but Cai You understands that Li Gang is a person, if he is really sent, then this raid will not give Wang Hao much room to play.

"Zhou Quan recommended this person to me, and I think I can try it out." Probably perceiving Cai You's surprise, Zhao Ji said casually.

At this time, Li Gang had become an official in the living house, and Zhou Quan's recommendation must have recommended him to copy Zhu Mian's house, not to be promoted. Cai You suddenly realized why Zhou Quan entered Beijing this time, and why he wanted to see Chen Dong through Li Gang - I am afraid that at that time, Zhou Quan had already decided to take Zhu Mian's life, and Li Gang also reached an agreement with Zhou Quan at that time!

Li Gang will definitely be very happy, and he will definitely be in prison in Suzhou, and take the opportunity of copying Zhu Mian's house to clean up the southeast officialdom. At least those officials recommended by Zhu Mian will become the objects of Li Gang's attention.

After this incident, even if Zhu Mian still has some residual strength, he will be swept away, and Li Gang himself can use this to obtain enough prestige and qualifications, and can consider squeezing into the ranks of the middle and upper echelons of the DPRK and the Central Committee, Zhao Ji has obtained more than 10 million yuan of wealth, and the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, including Cai Jing, can arrange dozens or hundreds of vacant positions for their protégés and former officials...... Except for Zhu Mian, everyone is the winner!

Thinking of this, Cai You felt that a cold sweat broke out again, and he secretly complained in his heart, his father clearly saw through this, but he didn't break it, so he almost stood on the opposite side of everyone! (To be continued.) )
