Chapter 457: A Contrast
The news of the comeback of the old man soon spread throughout Bianjing.
Those officials who were originally watching the good show of the Shantai family, after hearing the news, they suddenly couldn't hide the surprised look on their faces, and they seemed to be a little puzzled why the official family gave the old man the opportunity to go out of the mountain after banishing the Shantai Feicong and the Tangtai Shufei.
Those officials who were more on the sidelines, at this time, began to re-examine the energy of the Tantai family in their hearts.
And the most depressed of them is Cai Jing.
Cai Jing and the old man of Tangtai, the two of them have been officials for a lifetime, and they are also opponents for a lifetime, unlike the old man of Tangtai, Cai Jing's career can be described as a lot of ups and downs, although he is now ranked in the position of the Taishi, which can be described as infinite, but the sadness behind it is not enough for outsiders.
And in these days, Cai Jing also deeply experienced the feeling of being in power, although he was also a very powerful minister before, but there were always such and such obstacles around him, but now it is different, those guys around him who dare to disagree with him have been kicked out by him one by one, and the entire court has almost become his hall, even if there is any opposition in it, he has intercepted it.
Power is a cup of poisonous wine, and after tasting it, it will make people want to stop, and Cai Jing has just enjoyed this taste, and suddenly there is such a news, the depression in his heart can be imagined, it is said that that in the afternoon, his study has become a mess.
Compared with the news that the old man was invited out of the mountain, the change of Bai Qing's official position is not very noticeable, and only an enemy like Fu Tao who has had hatred with Bai Qing is so hateful that after getting this news, he is so hateful that he grits his teeth.
Fu Tao's life has not been easy these days. Originally, when he took up this official position, he could be said to be full of confidence, because the news of Bai Qing's private possession of the Qin prisoner was first obtained by him and then told to Qin Hui, so he always felt that he was now putting Bai Qing to death. It was simply an easy thing, but then the development of things was beyond his expectations, not only on Bai Qing's body, but even in Fang Jinzhi's place, they were deflated one after another, and even the princes went to visit Bai Qing like a visit, and he left a bad impression on those princes.
Not to mention that now Bai Qing has come out intact, although he has lost the hat of Hangzhou Zhizhou, but he still has his official body, thinking of the words that Cai Jing said when he told him before. Fu Tao felt a chill, fortunately, during this time, Cai Jing was busy enjoying the feeling of complacency, and ignored him for the time being, but every day he spent his days in trembling and panicking, and he didn't know when his end would suddenly come.
On the contrary, it is Baiqing's mansion, after hearing that Baiqing has been released from Dali Temple today, the gate of Baifu is almost broken through the threshold. The princes and other friends who had made friends came to Bai Qing's mansion to congratulate him. Of course, there is no intention to befriend the old man of Tantai, especially the six princes and others, who have to eat and drink in Bai Qing's mansion, and have been shouting that Bai Qing will take out the best "Lanling Chun", and the four princes, who have always been calm, have not left for the first time. Staying in Baiqing's mansion, he was too drunk to drink, even if he was already drunk and didn't know the east and west, the north and south, but he waited until the end before he was helped by his subordinates and left crookedly.
The bustle of Baiqing Mansion lasted until the middle of the night. and Fu Tao's feeling like falling into an ice cave, it is simply two heavens of ice and fire.
The next day was the day of the morning court, and early in the morning, there were already many officials gathered outside the vertical arch hall, but what was a little different from the past was that those officials, one by one, stretched their necks, looking expectant.
It didn't take much time, Cai Jing walked slowly and methodically, and walked over tremblingly, and after seeing his figure, several officials hurriedly trotted over, first bowed to him, and then carried him in the direction of Zichen Palace, and the other officials who didn't move, when they saw Cai Jing coming, they still squeezed out a smile on their faces and arched their hands at Cai Jing.
Seeing that they obviously hated themselves so much, but they still had to pretend to be kind to salute themselves, Cai Jing's heart had an indescribable sense of comfort, but his face was very calm, he just nodded at them, and went straight to the front, and then stood there, squinting his eyes and looking like he was napping.
Cai Jing just came over for a while, and suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, he subconsciously opened his eyes, and immediately saw the figure that made him remember his life.
Although it is about the same age as Cai Jing, compared to Cai Jing, the old man's body is much better, even if he does not have the tiger's back and bear waist when he was young, he now looks quite handsome, and his eyes are still sharp and stinging.
"The old minister is here!"
"I've seen the old man of Tantai!"
After seeing the figure of Shantai Yuanye, the crowd that was originally standing there came over to greet him, and Shantai Yuanye also let out a hearty laugh and nodded to the officials around him.
Although many of them have prejudices against the Tangtai family, no matter who they are, they still have a lot of respect for the Tangtai Yuanye, if not for anything else, just for this man who has made countless outstanding feats for the life of the Great Qi Rong Ma.
Looking at the appearance of being surrounded by Yuanye, Cai Jing snorted a little unhappily in his heart, and closed his eyes again, looking out of sight and out of mind, but soon, he felt a strong force coming from his shoulder, which made him subconsciously stumble, and when he was caught off guard, he had a feeling that the whole person was about to be shot apart.
"Old horseman!" Cai Jing opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the figure beside him, with a little anger in his eyes.
In this world, anyone who dares to pat him on the shoulder like this is enough to count on one hand, and who else is here right now except for Yutai Yuanye.
"Old fox Cai, your body is bones, but it's getting worse and worse, look at your weak appearance!" Regarding Cai Jing's angry shout, Yutai Yuanye didn't even feel half annoyed, just said to Cai Jing with a calm smile on his face.
Looking at the smiling Tangtai Yuanye, Cai Jing was speechless in his heart, obviously he was already a person who was half buried in the loess, and he was still so old and improper, so Cai Jing just looked at the Tangtai Yuanye, and coldly left a sentence, "The old man is a literati, so naturally he can't compare to an animal like you!" Then he snorted, turned his face away, closed his eyes again, and ignored him......
