Cai Yong naturally understood what Cai Kang meant by "finished".

When Tiqi read the decree, he knew he was finished.

None of the top 10 crimes listed above are false!

And any one of them is enough to drag the Cai family into a place of no return.

No family is clean, that's for sure. Even the Wang family and the Xie family can't avoid it.

But his Cai family is different from almost all families in the Great Jin Dynasty, because his Cai family is a "three-surname house slave".

So what the Cai family has been doing in the past two decades has been quite hidden.

Cai Yong didn't believe that a young man who had never let go of his glory in Dajin and only relied on the shadow of his ancestors could launch an attack on the Cai family.

So Cai Yong thinks that this matter is not so simple. He felt that although he was "finished" at the moment, he could still be saved.

Actually, it's really simple.

It's just some things that are derived, and it's not simple

In mid-August this year, the war in the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty finally came to an end.

Since the Northwest Army of the Great Jin Dynasty defeated nearly 20,000 elite cavalry in the southern part of Duan in May, especially after Xie Shenwei personally beheaded Duan Pishan, the war has become much simpler.

Duan Wuyang obviously couldn't suppress the uncles who had fought the world with his father, so a battle for power broke out within the Duan Division.

Duan Wuyang joined forces with several loyal tribes to behead several of the most ferocious clan leaders in the Hongmen Banquet, hoping to eliminate internal troubles, but unexpectedly caused a greater backlash, causing his own clan's authority in the Duan tribe to be greatly challenged. Duan was then plunged into a civil war.

Under the secret instigation of Yuwen and Wang Ting, the already unfavorable situation of Duan Bu was like a piece of paper torn by a giant in an instant, and it was quickly shattered and completely collapsed.

Except for Duan Wuyang, who fled to Beiyan with nearly 10,000 people, the rest of the 300,000 people, including 70,000 cavalry, were slaughtered or absorbed.

Duan was basically uprooted.

After the demise of the Duan Division, the vacated large area was divided by the Tuoba Royal Court and the Yuwen Division, of which about thirty percent of the vacuum area was filled by another force.

This force is the He Lou Department.

Of course, it was done with the covert help of the Northwest Army.

Then the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty calmed down again. Because the Xianbei people want to digest the fruits of the war, it is absolutely impossible for them to take any more action against the northwest in the short term.

And in this war, the Great Jin gained a large amount of wealth, as well as a series of preferential terms for foreign trade.

At the same time, the stability of the situation in the northwest also stabilized the situation on the western front of the Great Jin Dynasty. Even if Western Qin was still at the border, Xie Yi also returned to the Jin capital as soon as possible.

As a result, since the Great Jin Dynasty experienced more than half a year of war, it reaped a long period of peace.

Therefore, when the people of the world withdrew their attention from the northwest frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Jin people also began to examine their internal situation again.

Because of Xie Shence's letter, it caused a huge turmoil in the Great Jin Dynasty. A large number of officials defended the Cai family, and at the same time demanded that Emperor Jin recall Xie Shence and remove him from his post as the commander of the Tiqi Division.

But they were all rejected by Emperor Jin.

At the same time, after Xie Yi returned to Jindu, he joined forces with Xie Shang to suppress the voice of dissatisfaction with Xie Shence to the lowest level.

But blind suppression is not the solution to the problem after all.

And before Xie Shence found out about the Cai family, the Xie family could not make a substantive counterattack.

Even the Xie family, which is the most powerful in the Jin Kingdom today, cannot be invincible in the face of the political group that has formed a group.

In the study of the old lady of Weihou Mansion, Xie Yi and Xie Sheng were sitting on a chair, and the old lady was sitting on the bookcase looking at the various data presented by the Xie family's staff. Xie Yi and Xie Shang also have one in their hands.

"Feng Zhi's notation method is really much simpler than the current text notation."

Xie Yi exclaimed.

The old lady said: "I have checked almost all the books in this area in the sealed library, and I have not found that anyone has used them in the past, and no one has used them in other places at all, even the people of the Western Regions and the Fusang people in the east have not used them. This should be Fengzhi's original notation. ”

Xie Shang continued: "It is really much more convenient to represent numbers in this way, and it is very convenient to attach this 'four operations' to use statistics, but the only trouble is that it is not very easy to write with a pen, such as this '8', which actually has to turn so many corners, even if I try to write it, it is really a little ugly." ”

The old lady was puzzled: "I heard that Fengzhi is not written with a brush, but a short stick?" ”

Xie Sheng then went out and found a staff member and asked, "What kind of pen did the little marquis use to write?" Hurry up and find a few. ”

The staff responded and returned a moment later, bringing back a few sticks. Then he explained some of the grips of the pen with Xie Shence.

Xie Sheng returned to the study with a wooden stick, and then handed one to the old lady and Xie Yi.

The old lady tried to hold the wooden stick with her right hand and wrote a few words, but found it quite convenient.

"Feng Zhi said that this is called a 'pencil'? Hehe, such a gadget, and these symbols, will greatly change my Dajin, no! It's the world. ”

Xie Sheng agreed.

Xie Yi didn't care, anyway, he didn't need him to calculate anything personally, so he didn't worry about these things.

However, he still said: "This method is back to Feng Zhi, I have to let him teach those officials under me, it should be able to play a great role in the frontier." It saves a lot of work. ”

Mrs. Xie nodded.

Then not long after, Xie Xiaohou Ye invented numbers and algorithms. This achievement made future generations clearly remember the Great Jin Kingdom and remember the five years of Zhenglong.

Of course, I remembered Xie Shence.

The old lady played with it a few times, put the pen away, and then said: "The forces of the DPRK and China can basically see it clearly. ”

Xie Sheng smiled bitterly: "Feng Zhi is still too impulsive, I'm afraid that this matter will bring a lot of trouble." ”

Mrs. Xie said: "What trouble can there be." It's also a matter of time. Our neutrality, at this time, in the eyes of His Majesty, is to watch the fire from the other side, and in the eyes of the two princes, it is to be sold at a price. The situation is no longer suitable for neutrality, and it is not good to choose at this time. ”

Xie Shang said: "I understand what my father meant, but is this matter too hasty? In the past few days, the prince and the king of Qi have come to me frequently, and some rumors have come out. ”

The old lady said disapprerovingly: "The prince and the king of Qi are both smart people, and those who are looking for you are not necessarily instructed by them, or even their people." It shouldn't be ignored, as for the rumors, they are always self-defeating, what we have to do is wait, wait for Feng Zhi to send back the news, and then control the situation within a reasonable range, it's okay. ”

Xie Yi asked, "What range?" ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "Of course, it is within the range that Your Majesty can accept more pleasantly. ”

After Xie Yi and Xie Shang heard this, they fell into deep thought at the same time

At this time, Xie Shence didn't care at all, he was already the center of the storm in Jindu.

He was fishing on the deck at this time.

There were already several of them in the wicker basket next to them.

Caiyi was a little seasick, Xie Shence didn't let her out, and at this time, Lu'er ran around from time to time, busy helping Xie Shence catch the fish to take the bait. It's just that Xie Shence's fishing line is all hooked, which makes her fingers punctured several times when she is hooked. The egg tart is still a lot of fun. Every time Xie Shence caught one, he jumped and jumped happily.

Xie Shence had been sitting on the deck for more than an hour, but fortunately there was no sun today, otherwise he would not have been able to sit still. However, even if there was no sun, the weather was still very hot, and Lu'er was already tired half an hour ago, and was drinking cold sour plum soup with Caiyi in the room at this time.

Xie Shence fishing is actually still thinking.

He was thinking about the connections that might be triggered by the incident. And think about what to do.

This time, in order to show his status as the commander of the cavalry, and in order to increase the prestige of the ministers, the emperor specially allocated two large warships and a large ship. Xie Shence, of course, took possession of one of the largest warships as a matter of course, and pulled up as many guards and cavalry as he could.

The sleep was wide and the current was gentle, and the top of the big boat was very stable, so Xie Shence's mind turned extremely fast.

After another quarter of an hour or so, Xie Shence stretched, moved his hands and feet, and returned to the cabin.

It was already the third day, and it was expected that after fifteen days, they would reach Chuzhou City.

Xie Shence wanted to write down the scenes he saw along the way and the living conditions of the people under the rule of the officials after returning to Beijing, and report them to the emperor for approval. So in this way, even if Xie Shence is in a hurry, the itinerary can't be fast.

It made him angry.

Lao Tzu went to see his daughter-in-law! You magistrates don't pay the public food at home, what are you trying to harass me!

I don't know if I'm in a hurry?

Fortunately, not long after, before dinner, Xie Shence received a flying pigeon from Xie Di.

After reading the contents of the small paper, Xie Shence breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally time to catch up.

However, Xie Shence was also very puzzled at the same time, Wang Jiehua said that it was Wang Laoshangshu who took the initiative to stop the ceremony, so he waited for the will of the imperial court in time that afternoon.

Xie Shence didn't understand, why did it take the initiative to marry Wang Laoshangshu, and he was the one who took the initiative to "call a pause"?

Xie Shence thought of several possibilities, but he didn't think it was very reliable. Therefore, this mystery can only be solved when he arrives in Chuzhou and meets Lao Shangshu.

After drinking two bowls of fresh fish soup early, Xie Shence's guard of honor arrived in Shangqiu.

The governor of Shangqiu City went ten miles out of the city to greet him.

But Xie Shence refused Shangqiu's invitation to the banquet, and just invited the Thorn Shi to meet on the boat, and then after receiving a little "native product" from Lord Thorn Shi, Xie Shence sent away Lord Thorn Shi who was happy and slightly unwilling in his heart.

This night, Xie Shence slept very early.

The next day, Ti Cai sent an order, saying that the Admiral was unwell and would not disembark from the boat on the water, and that the personnel of the ships should not disturb the people.
