The hungry people gathered in Kaifeng Mansion have dispersed, and they can't survive if they don't disperse. The people of Tokyo themselves are short of food, so how can they have surplus food to give to the hungry?

Fang La rebelled in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Song Jiang rebelled in Shandong, and Liu Jiujun rebelled in Jiangxi. The grain was almost cut off, and all the grain from Jingxi and Huainan was supplied to the counterinsurgency army.

The price of rice in Beijing has risen to 1,800 wen and one stone, and it is still rising.

In shantytowns on the outskirts of the city, corpses are cleaned up every day.

There is no money to buy food, and they starve to death!

Inside and outside the city, people at the bottom, even if they have jobs, are struggling to cope with soaring food prices. If you don't have any savings at home, you can only go hungry and have a full meal.

Cai You rode out of the palace and went straight to his father's mansion.

The father and son have fallen out, and Song Huizong deliberately provoked trouble and specially rewarded Cai You with a house, so that Cai You could move out and have a place to live.

"Liulangjun ......" The door didn't dare to stop it, but only quietly let people in to report, and he blocked the door to delay time.

Cai You walked straight in and heard that his father was in the living room, so he broke in without notice.

The guest hurriedly saluted: "Meet Master Cai." ”

Cai You ignored it, walked directly to his father's side, and reached out to grab his father's pulse.

Cai Jing and Cai Tiao didn't react, they didn't know what this guy was going to do.

Cai You pretended to diagnose his father's pulse and asked, "The adult's pulse is sparse and slow, but what is the discomfort?" ”

Cai Jing replied: "There is no discomfort. ”

"There are still important things in the palace, so I'll leave first." After Cai You finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The guests were confused: "Why did Liulang-kun come and go in a hurry?" ”

Cai Jing had already understood, and said helplessly: "This rebel son wants me to quit the prime minister due to illness, and he deliberately mentioned the palace, implying that he came on the orders of the emperor." ”

However, it was said that Cai You stepped out of the gate of Cai's mansion, rode a horse towards the palace, and was soon led by the palace people to see the emperor.

"How?" Song Huizong asked.

Cai You bowed down and replied: "As expected by the official family, my father has a serious illness, and he should recuperate, and it is inconvenient to stay in the court." ”

Song Huizong said with emotion: "Cai Xiang has been assisting the government for many years, and I am a little reluctant." ”

The Fang La uprising is such a big mess, and there must be someone to take the blame, so that he can explain to the ministers and the people. It just so happened that Cai Jing was the prime minister, it happened that Cai Jing was unable to reverse the financial dilemma, and it happened that Cai Jing did not support the Lianjin War.

Then this pot must be carried by Cai Jing!

But Cai Jing's love power has reached the extreme, he is obviously half-blind, and many jobs have to be represented by his son Cai Tiao. But in the face of the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor also hinted many times that Cai Jing just wanted to pretend to be confused, and he refused to leave on the prime minister's seat.

The monarch and the ministers discussed the current situation, and Sheng Zhang was brought by the palace people.

Sheng Zhang took out a piece of paper: "Official, this poem was written by Wang Yu in prison, and there may be a rebellious heart in his words." ”

Song Huizong took it and finished reading, and sneered: "In the year of Baishui, the Great Dao is prosperous, and the thorns are swept away. Which thorn does he want to sweep away, and which one does he want to worship? Punish with rebellion, behead and abandon the city! ”

Sheng Zhang bowed his head respectfully and stepped aside, unable to stop the smile on his face.

This bureau was laid out by Zheng Juzhong, and it has been in operation for almost two years.

Liu Yu and Liu Huan are Cai Jing's henchmen, and they control the household department and the official department, Zheng Juzhong wants to get rid of them as soon as possible.

So he asked Lin Lingsu to make a move to induce Wang Yu to enter the game.

Wang Yu is the son of Wang Shao, with excellent poetry, a love of cultivation, and no political acumen, but he is keen to cling to the powerful.

Wang Yu's sister-in-law is Liu Yu's aunt.

He pestered his sister-in-law to take him to Liu's house, called Liu Hao's son a brother and sister, and demoted himself by two generations. With the help of Liu Hao, Cai Jing was attached.

Lin Lingsu falsely accused Wang Yu of illegally cultivating immortals, in a vain attempt to compete with the emperor for the immortal position.

Originally, Song Huizong didn't take it seriously, but Wang Yu bought the eunuch and wanted to know the emperor's reaction. This matter was "accidentally" exposed, and Song Huizong was furious, so he threw Wang Yu to Dali Temple for investigation.

Lin Lingsu suddenly lost his position and left Beijing, disrupting Zheng Juzhong's plan, and Wang Yu was left with no one in Dali Temple.

Recently, Sheng Zhang continued to do it, because he wanted to compete with Liu Yu for the deputy prime minister.

Sheng Zhang bribed the jailer to induce Wang Yu to compose poems.

Wang Yu was imprisoned for almost a year, and when he was bored, he wrote many Taoist poems in one go.

Sheng Zhang carefully checked and finally caught the handle.

"In the year of white water, the avenue is prosperous, and the thorns are swept away."

The year of white water, that is, the year of Gengzi, is this year!

Wang Yu's original intention was to clear the thorn of Fang La, and to serve the high truth of Song Huizong. Sheng Zhang repeatedly hinted at the emperor, saying that Wang Yu was planning to rebel, and had been hinting for several months, and Song Huizong immediately exploded when he read these two poems.

Fang La rebelled in the year of Gengzi, and also used the demon sect to start an incident, but Wang Yu said that the road was prosperous in the year of Gengzi, can Song Huizong not think about it?

Wang Shao expanded the land for the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of miles, and his son was cut down in such a daze.

In the days that followed, the impeachment of the Cai Party and the Zheng Party was full of sparse plays.

Song Huizong was overwhelmed and decided to hold a court meeting.

First, Liu Yu and Liu Huan were involved in Wang Yu's rebellion case, and they should be punished for death according to the law.

The criminal department Shangshu Fan Zhixu pleaded for the two at the court meeting. He also treated the scholars leniently with the Great Song Dynasty and sentenced Liu Yu to exile to Hainan Island; Liu Huan was not deeply involved and was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment.

Cai Jing's arms in the household department and the official department were cut off by Zheng Juzhong.

This is in line with Song Huizong's intentions, he originally planned to let Cai Jing get out.

But we can't chase and fight hard, otherwise the Zheng Dang family is dominant, Song Huizong said: "This is the end of Wang Yu's rebellion, don't say more." ”

How can Zheng Juzhong give up? He has been planning for two years, but he doesn't just want to cut off two Cai Jing henchmen.

Zheng Juzhong didn't give the emperor any face, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu has been in office for many years and has recommended many officials. Among these officials, there may be conspirators who have rebelled against the accomplices, and they should also be strictly investigated. ”

Shangshu Zuo Cheng Xue Ang immediately counterattacked: "Your Majesty, if all the people recommended by Liu Yu want to sit together, then please judge the minister guilty, and the minister has also recommended Liu Hao." ”

The old-eyed Cai Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu and Wang Yu are indeed recommended by the ministers. For the sake of the country, looking at their conduct, the minister never expected that these two people would fall to the ground, and it was the minister who looked away at the beginning. Zheng Xiang and others are also recommended by ministers, and the ministers really dare not guarantee what they will do in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Juzhong's old face turned red, he relied on climbing Cai Jing to ascend to the position, and it was indeed Cai Jing's recommendation to promote.

I can't go on any further.

Song Huizong looked at Cai Jing and reminded Cai Jing to take the initiative to resign: "I heard that Cai Qing is ill? ”

Cai Jing held the wat board and said: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and he still cares about the condition of the old minister, and the minister is really grateful." Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the minister has recovered from his illness. ”

Song Huizong was so angry that his teeth itched, and the more he looked at Cai Jing, the more disgusted he felt, why didn't this old thing leave with a dead face?

Cai Jing's old eyes were dizzy, he couldn't see far away, and he was standing in the hall at the moment, like a mud bodhisattva.

Song Huizong reminded again: "Aiqing is old and needs to recuperate. ”

Cai Jing replied: "Your Majesty Lao is concerned, and the old minister is flattered. ”

Song Huizong stared at Cai Jing for a long time, and finally walked away.

He has already decided that if he doesn't eat the toast, he will let Cai Jing eat the penalty wine. However, Zheng Dang cannot be allowed to continue to impeach, and it is necessary for the centrist imperial history to list Cai Jing's various crimes.

The uprisings in various places have not yet subsided, but the court and the ministers are fighting more happily.

The next day, Cai Jing was recuperating at home and quietly came to the door with a royal history and took out the fresh notes he copied.

After reading it, Cai Tiao said: "My lord, this is played by Zhu Ming, and the words are extremely intense. ”

"Read." Cai Jing closed his eyes and rested.

Cai Tiao's voice trembled a little: "Zhu Ming, who is the undertaker and knows the affairs of Hanyuan County, is respectful: In order to speak bluntly about the first thing in the world, with the right way of the monarch and the minister, he seeks peace and security for all generations." The monarch is also the lord of all things among the subjects of the world. However, he is the lord of all things among the subjects of the world, and his responsibility is extremely heavy, and all the people's livelihood and interests are not heard, and he will act without knowing anything, and he will not be worthy of ......"

Halfway through hearing this, Cai Jing suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhu Ming directly brought Hai Rui's "Public Security Sparse", which is also called "Speak Directly about the First Thing in the World".

Of course, the content also needs to be changed.

Jiajing Jiajing, every family is pure, this is the special description of the Taoist chief, and it is impossible to put it on Song Huizong.

The sentence of scolding Yan Song and Yan Shifan was also changed by Zhu Ming to scold the six thieves of the dynasty.

"What a thief!"

Cai Jing suddenly clapped his hands and praised.

Cai Tiao was puzzled: "Zhu Ming listed his father as the head of the six thieves, why is his father still happy to applaud?" ”

Cai Jing said with a smile: "The sea is boiling, the people are dissatisfied, and one square la can trap southeast Kyushu." Right now, everyone inside and outside wants me to be infamous alone. Isn't it a great good thing that this Zhu Ming has five other people to share with me? ”

Cai Tiao was speechless, feeling that it made sense.

Yang Jian is not dead yet, so the "six thieves" written by Zhu Ming are: Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, and Yang Jian.

Cai Jing took a magnifying glass, pasted it on the paper and read it carefully: "It is advisable to punish the six thieves and pass on the first four directions to thank the world." It's really well written, but it's a pity that there is no Zheng Juzhong, and it is wonderful that there is no Zheng Juzhong! ”

Cai Tiao's eyes lit up: "After reading this, the official family may suspect that Zheng Juzhong is behind the scenes!" ”

……

Zheng Juzhong is also watching "Public Security Sparse", he cut off two Cai Dang, and is about to force Cai Jing out of the court, and he has been in a good mood.

After reading Zhu Ming's recital, Zheng Juzhong said bitterly, and sighed lamentingly: "Zhu Chenggong misunderstood me!" ”

Although Zheng Juzhong's subordinates have a bunch of traitors, his own reputation is good. Because in recent years, he has been working against Cai Jing every time, and he has indeed given many good suggestions, and has also promoted some upright ministers.

Therefore, Zhu Ming did not list him as a "six thieves", and Zheng Juzhong did not have to be infamy.

But the most powerful person in the inner and outer courts was scolded by Zhu Ming all over the place, but he didn't scold him Zheng Juzhong. What will the emperor think when he sees it?

It's better to scold him together!

What's even more nonsense is that Zhu Ming also complained for the crown prince, which involved Zheng Juzhong in the dispute for the crown prince.

Zheng Juzhong held the song and looked at it again and again, and the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to scold his mother.

In his eyes, Zhu Ming is a-stirring stick. The already clear situation in the court is about to be messed up again.

Zheng Juzhong thought about it and decided to take the lead and let his henchmen collectively impeach Zhu Ming, so as to show that he did not instruct Zhu Ming to do this.

A letter of "Public Security Sparse", before the emperor read it, he had already made it known to the ministers.

Zhu Ming was not a-stirring stick, but threw a big stone into the pit, and the important ministers of the court were splashed with dung by him.
