Chapter 268: The Covenant
Wu Jing looked at this young child carved in pink, and vaguely remembered that Cai Yong seemed to have given birth to a child a few years ago.
'Is that it?' ’
Wu Jing glanced at it, and saw Cai Yong coming over, and immediately raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Cai Gong, is this your unicorn?" If you are really smart, you will become a great weapon in the future. ”
As he spoke, Wu Jing also reached out and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Liu Shao in front of him.
Liu Shao blinked and looked back at Cai Yong.
Cai Yong's temples were white, and he was a lot older than before, and when he saw this, he was startled at first, and hurriedly stopped Wu Jing, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, this is not." Brother Wu, come in first. ”
Wu Jing hadn't reacted yet, and he didn't know when, there were more than a dozen plainclothes men standing behind him, expressionless, but staring at each other, with an indescribable evil spirit.
Wu Jing also led the soldiers, but he could see at a glance that these people were veterans of a hundred battles, thinking of Cai Yong's identity, he guessed Liu Shao's identity almost instantly, raised his hand and said: "Xiaguan Wu Jing, see His Royal Highness." ”
Liu Shao saw Wu Jing for the first time, and said in a milky voice: "No courtesy." ”
"Your Highness." Wu Jing was a little flustered and a little excited, and he was quickly thinking about how to get involved with this highness.
Cai Yong didn't give him a chance, pulled Liu Shao over, and said with a smile: "Shao'er, your mother is afraid that she is in a hurry in the palace, so go back early." ”
Liu Shao snorted, his little face was calm, and he said, "Uncle, are you here for the family banquet at the end of the year?" ”
Cai Yong smiled more and said, "I'll go." ”
The little fellow nodded, and turned to walk towards the carriage not far away.
Wu Jing wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Waiting for the sound of Liu Shao's carriage to disappear, he straightened up and smiled with Cai Yong: "Cai Gong, after many years, the style is still the same." ”
Cai Yong was able to return to Beijing this time, and he was also full of emotion, and when he saw the old man, he was in a better mood, shook his head, and said, "Brother Wu, let's go in and talk about it." ”
Wu Jing nodded, he came this time and had a lot to say to Cai Yong.
Especially after seeing Liu Shao, I almost couldn't suppress the impatience in my heart.
The two of them talked, entered the door, and came to the front yard.
After sitting down, after briefly talking about tea, Wu Jing wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to speak.
In Jiangdong, he and his brother-in-law Sun Jian had many 'illegal acts', and the number of impeachments in the court was increasing day by day.
Before coming, Sun Jian had stopped him, but after thinking about it again, he decided to obey the order.
This Luoyang City, for Wu Jing, is a 'place of life and death', whether he can get out alive depends on how he operates.
Cai Yong seemed to see it, sighed lightly, and said, "Brother Wu is also a quiet person, how could he be involved in those things?" ”
Wu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Cai Gong, how can you be in the bureau?" The situation in Jiangdong is more complicated and difficult than you expected, if it weren't for our power to change, I am afraid that the entire land of Jiangdong has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, and my Han country is in danger. ”
Cai Yong nodded lightly, his face was helpless, and said, "You came to me to find the wrong person." I don't dare to say a word or go one step more now. ”
Wu Jing could understand Cai Yong's situation to some extent, glanced out of the door, leaned closer and whispered: "Your Highness came over in person, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty is not to blame for the past, and time has changed?" ”
Cai Yong was stunned in his heart, his expression was strange, but he still shook his head and said, "In short, I must be cautious, otherwise there is no reason to be spared." ”
Cai Yong is also very fortunate that he was able to escape last time, you know, Wang Yun was wiped out.
Wu Jing didn't give up, and said in a low voice: "Cai Gong, if I want to solve the crisis, where should I start?" ”
Cai Yong was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Jing to ask so directly.
He hesitated and said, "Perhaps, Zhong Tingwei." ”
Zhong Xuan?
Wu Jing groaned, thinking of countermeasures.
He naturally knew that it was rumored inside and outside Luoyang City that Prime Minister Yang Biao would be the successor, and the person who replaced him was Zhong Xuan.
The current Zhong Xuan is hot, and he has not yet ascended to the position, but he is already very important.
Cai Yong took a sip of tea, saw that Wu Jing was still silent, and said: "Zhong Tingwei is not good at money, he loves calligraphy, and Brother Wu is also good at this, so he may be able to start from here." ”
Wu Jing looked up at Cai Yong and said suspiciously: "Cai Gong, aren't you afraid of being involved?" ”
Cai Yong smiled and said, "I'm afraid of others, but I'm not afraid of you." ”
Wu Jing was suspicious in his heart, and his expression did not move.
He went straight to the point, not to test Cai Yong, but Cai Yong's direct answer made him feel uneasy.
"Gong Cao Shangshu." In the silence, Cai Yong said.
"What?"
Wu Jing was startled, looked up at Cai Yong in amazement.
Cai Yong smiled, his sideburns and white hair were windless, and he said, "Since Brother Wu is in charge of Cao Shangshu." ”
Wu Jing was not only restless, but violently uneasy, and said, "Cai Gong knows? ”
Cai Yong nodded and said, "A few days ago in the palace, I heard that Xun Shangshu of the official Cao recommended it to His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed, and there will be a will in the near future." ”
Wu Jing looked at Cai Yong with a look that couldn't hide his apprehension.
He was the first to come to Cai Yong, only he knew it in his heart, but it was such a coincidence that Cai Yong knew about his appointment, and he knew everything about him?
Wu Jing felt a little weird!
Cai Yong didn't think so, sighed, looked out of the door, and said faintly: "Kong Wenju is appointed as Taichangqing, then Wang Lang is transferred to Tingwei, Xi Zhicai is promoted to Yushicheng, and Chen Liuwang is in charge of Yushitai, and the situation is going to change greatly......"
Wu Jing looked at Cai Yong and was speechless for a while.
Kong Wenju is Kong Rong.
From Cai Yong's words, Wu Jing instantly gained insight into the situation in the imperial court, and the Shangshutai and Yushitai of the 'Ertai' were all replaced, and the court captain Zhong Xuan was promoted to prime minister, and Wang Lang succeeded him as the court captain.
Coupled with some changes in Taichang Temple and Liucao, it can be said that the imperial court has ushered in a big change!
Thinking of this great change, Wu Jing was inexplicably cold, and he didn't care about anything else, and said, "Then, ...... over there in Jiangdong."
Cai Yong came back to his senses, exhaled lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "I haven't heard of it." However, I heard that the Shi family has a lot to do with your Wu and Sun families? ”
Wu Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Gong Cai misunderstood, although there are some in-laws who come and go, it doesn't matter much. ”
Cai Yong nodded indifferently and said: "There are some rumors in the court, saying that Shixie and Sun Jian have an alliance, and there are rumors that the two of them want to divide the land of Jiaozhi and Jingyang. ”
Wu Jing's expression changed, what he never expected was that the court was so clear about such a secret matter as the covenant!
He sat up straight decisively and said in a deep voice: "Gong Cai, there is no such thing!" Wu and Sun are loyal to the court, to Your Majesty, and to the Han Dynasty, and have no two hearts, if they have two hearts, they wish the whole clan to die under the sword, and heaven and earth will learn from it! ”
Cai Yong was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Jing to react so much, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, don't think about it, I just heard some rumors, and the court won't be suspicious easily." ”
Where can Wu Jing not be afraid, he doesn't know the content of the covenant between Sun Jian and Shixie, but the imperial court will definitely not be groundless!
Wu Jing's face changed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what was afraid in his heart.
