Many years have passed since Cai Jing's reinstatement, and many people have challenged his phase during this period, but they have all been resolved by him one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Zhao Ji was a little tired of him and wanted to ask him to retire, but Cai Jing was still standing. His methods are cunning, and he doesn't dare to raise this matter at all, even Zhao Ji can't find an excuse.

Even if Cai You has parted ways with Cai Jing, after all, the relationship between the two is that of son and Lao Tzu, Li Gang directly said in front of Cai You that he would ask Cai Jing to retire and be honored, and the impact is so great that it can be seen.

Cai You's face changed back and forth, and it took a while before he said, "If you don't go to the love stack, what can you do?" ”

"The failure of the Northern Expedition is an opportunity." Li Gang said.

In this Northern Expedition, if you talk about responsibility, Tong Guan, who is the Xuanfu envoy and deputy marshal, is obviously the most responsible, followed by Wang Huang, the deputy Xuanfu envoy, and Zhao Kai, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses. As for Cai Jing himself, he repeatedly proposed before the start of the war that the time was not ripe, and he simply pretended to be sick after the war, and did not enter the palace to clean up the mess until the news of the defeat came.

"The official family needs someone to bear the responsibility of the Northern Expedition, Tong Guan and Wang Huang are not enough to plug the mouth of the world, if it is not pushed to Zhou Quan, then someone in the court must come out to take responsibility. Although the Taishi has no fault in this matter, as the prime minister, he has no merit is a fault! ”

Cai You sat upright, took a long breath, and slowly spit it out.

"The official family only needs one reason, and Cai Gong, you need to give the official family this reason!" Li Gang said again.

Cai You nodded slowly, he completely understood what Li Gang meant.

It doesn't matter whether Cai Jing himself is responsible or not, the important thing is that the emperor needs him to be responsible, the imperial court needs him to be responsible, and Cai You himself needs him to be responsible.

Previously, people fell into the Northern Expedition itself, but they forgot one thing, as the ruling prime minister, don't say that the Northern Expedition failed miserably, even the flood and drought disasters can be said to be the responsibility of the prime minister!

Thinking of this, Cai You stood up, but sat down again.

"Is this really the time, if so...... If it is the father of the family, but he is replaced by someone who is not as good as the father, such as Zheng Ju middle-aged? ”

"This is the right time, Zheng is old in the middle, and with his superiority, he is just another Taishi Cai. I look at Your Majesty's mind, if it is a change of appearance, it will be used by the young and strong, and the one who can compete with the bachelor is just a few people such as Wang Hao and Li Bangyan. Wang Huang lost this time, his crime is not small, the official family will not investigate Tong Guan deeply, and will not chase after King Yun, so Wang Hao must be charged. Li Bangyan was frightened by Zhou Quan before, and he went out of Beijing several times, delaying his qualifications......"

Li Gang raised his finger and listed the people who might compete with Cai You for the phase.

Cai You nodded slightly, in this way, the failure of the Northern Expedition is still a good thing for him!

At the time of the Northern Expedition, he also tried to fight for the position of deputy Xuanfu, but Cai Jing strongly opposed it, which cheapened Wang Huang.

"What the bachelor wants to figure out now is whether the official family is tired of the old lady, although the old lady has no fault, but during the Northern Expedition, as the prime minister, he said that he was sick, this is the past!" This time it was not Li Gang who spoke, but Wu Min, who was extremely excited, clenched his fists and said: "The old lady has worked hard for the country for too long, so that he is unwell, and he is in good health!" ”

This time, Cai You did not hesitate.

He stood up, hurriedly arched his hand to Li Gang and Wu Min, and then walked in the direction of the palace.

On the teahouse, Li Gang looked at his back and smiled bitterly at Wu Min: "Leaving the father and son, it is not a gentleman's doing, you and me, acting like this, I don't know if it is right or wrong." ”

"If not, wouldn't you sit back and watch the court fall?" Wu Min sighed: "I'm afraid that things won't go well, for the sake of righteousness, it's to do something to leave the father and son, and what's the point." ”

"It's going to be smooth, people's minds change!" Li Gang said.

Cai You hurriedly ran to the palace, and when he learned that he asked to see him, Zhao Ji's depressed mood eased slightly. The close minister who has less to do with the things that have been depressed during this period of time is probably Cai You.

Of course, he didn't know that when Zhou Quan was attacked the most, Cai You was actually eager to try, but it was only because his son Cai Xing abandoned his father to vote for Zhou Quan, which shocked Cai You a lot, and he slowed down a little, so he avoided this trend.

"Qing came here at this time, he must have something to say, I don't know what it is?" At this time, Zhao Ji was around, the crown prince Zhao Huan, the king of Yun, Zhao Kai, etc., had already left, leaving only the palace maid and the eunuch to serve on the side, and also called a group of excellent lings, what dwarfs, clowns, etc., sang a hundred operas here for fun.

Although it was very lively, Zhao Ji's mood was always unhappy.

"The minister has come to confess his sins to the officials." Cai Youdao.

"What is the guilt of the Qing family?" Zhao Ji was taken aback.

"The Son deserves the fault of the Father. The minister's father is the prime minister, old and frail, and his energy is not good, which makes the country quite difficult, which makes the king worried, and the fault of the minister's father is the sinful of the minister! ”

Cai You's mind was so eager that he didn't even hide it, but what he said was exactly what Zhao Ji meant!

Zhao Ji has long been dissatisfied with Cai Jing, as an emperor, no one wants to meet a strong prime minister, and Cai Jing is now a prime minister for a long time, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, plus he has been implemented many reforms, and his reputation is also high, which makes Zhao Ji very jealous.

Therefore, he was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Although this is the case, but the court is now inseparable from Cai Xianggong. ”

In other words, as long as the imperial court can leave Cai Jing, he can be dismissed!

This is the first time Cai You has received confirmation from Zhao Ji, and he hopes that Cai Jing will leave his post.

Cai You calmed down, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The court has its own laws, and it does not exist because of one person, nor does it abolish because of one person. Now that the saints are on top, the sages are lowered, and then the talents are selected, then the world can naturally be ruled naturally! ”

Seeing that Zhao Ji was still hesitating, Cai You said in a heavy tone: "Besides, the failure of the Northern Expedition is certainly the responsibility of the front-line soldiers, but is there nothing wrong with the rear?" The prime minister and prime minister are yin and yang, and reconcile the upper and lower levels, if the energy is not good, it will inevitably make mistakes......"

This is to give a large part of the responsibility for the failure of the Northern Expedition to Cai Jing!

Others said this, maybe Cai Jing could defend himself, but now it was his son who said this, even if Cai Jing was present, at this time, there was only a dumbfounded and indefensible result.

Zhao Ji was extremely satisfied with this, and it could even be said that it made his eyes shine!

The responsibility for the failure of the Northern Expedition before was on Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Zhao Kai and others, but Zhao Ji understood that these people alone could not block the mouth of the world.

Originally, Cai Jing disagreed with the Northern Expedition, and even said that he was sick and the responsibility could not be attributed to him, but now it is different, as Cai You said, the prime minister of Yin and Yang, the prime minister, cannot perform his duties due to physical reasons, that is, incompetence, that is, responsibility!

In addition, it was the matter of war bonds, and the clans came in the morning and said that Zhao Ji was moved, but he also understood that as long as Cai Jing was in the phase, it was almost impossible to really let go of his hands and feet to do this.

Cai Jing is very good at financial management, to put it bluntly, he is good at making money for Zhao Jihua. Whether it is the luxurious life in the palace or raising money to repair Genyue, Cai Jingjing has made a lot of efforts. But for bonds, especially war bonds, Cai Jing has always disagreed, feeling that the risk is too great.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji asked with concern: "How is Cai Xiang's health now, and the next aftermath will take more energy, and I don't know if he can hold it." ”

Cai You heard the song and knew the elegance, he bowed to Zhao Ji: "Thank you for the official question, the minister has nothing else to do, please retire." ”

"There you go." Zhao Ji waved his hand.

Cai You hurriedly left Yanfu Palace, got into the carriage that had been waiting in front of the palace, and ordered the coachman: "Go home...... It's not a bachelor's mansion, it's a master's mansion! ”

Now that he lives separately from Cai Jing, if he doesn't make it clear, the carriage will take him back to his house.

Sitting in the carriage, he was very excited, knowing that if he did not succeed in this trip, he was afraid that he would face his father's fierce revenge. In the struggle for power, there has never been a father and son, and if he loses at that time, let alone the official position, it will be good if he can stay in Beijing and be a happy man.

Remembering it again, he took a deep breath: now is the best chance.

Previously, the official family did not move his father, because his father was still useful, on the one hand, he could stabilize the dynasty, and on the other hand, he could deter Zhou Quan.

In a way, Zhou Quan was the result of his father's indulgence, and his father used Zhou Quan's threat to the court to stabilize his position.

This time it was different, the relationship between the imperial court and Zhou Quan would be readjusted, and it turned out that his father's deterrent effect on Zhou Quan was not so great.

It didn't take long for Cai You to return to the Taishi Mansion.

He has not returned to the mansion for nearly half a year, although the father and son have become political enemies, but he is the master here, so the servants and the like dare not stop it.

"Where's the old man?" Seeing that a housekeeper stepped forward to greet him, Cai You asked.

"The master is meeting guests in the study, does the uncle need a villain?"

"I'm going to pay a visit, and I don't need to go through it." After Cai You finished speaking, he hurried to Cai Jing's study.

At this time, in Cai Jing's study, he was smiling and chatting with the guests, and the topic he was talking about was also the hottest war bond issue in Beijing today. Hearing the footsteps outside, Cai Jing was about to ask each other, and saw that Cai You had already arrived at the door.

Cai Jing frowned slightly, asked the guest to wait a while, and asked Cai You, "How did you come here today?" ”

Cai You walked in quickly and grabbed Cai Jing's wrist. Cai Jing is old, Cai Yu is in the prime of life, Cai Jing struggled, but he did not break free.

Holding Cai Jing's pulse, Cai You seemed to be diagnosing the pulse, and asked after a while: "The adult's pulse is soothing, could it be that there is something unwell in the body?" ”

Cai Jing glanced at him coldly: "There is no discomfort. ”

Under his gaze, Cai You let go of his hand and said curtly: "There is still something in the palace, and my son will retire first." ”

When he walked to the door, Cai You suddenly thought of his son Cai Xing, he turned over, knelt down to Cai Jing, kowtowed a few times, and then got up and left.

He came in a hurry, and hurried away, leaving the guests scratching their heads, and couldn't help asking: "Taishi Linglang, ...... this?"

Cai Jing, who was originally in a good mood, was silent for a while before sighing: "I did a bad job...... You must not have imagined that this son of a scumbag hopes that the old man will quit when he is sick! ”

When he said this, his heart sank to the bottom. (To be continued.) )
