Chapter 385: Whoever takes the stolen goods

Spring is about to begin, and the snow in Bianjing City is gradually set, leaving only the remains of snow on the ridge.

In the Duke's Mansion of Wei County, more than a dozen people sat down in scattered places. Everyone looked at Chen Ao, the new top scholar and the number one talented man in Bianjing. At first glance, this young man looked a bit like a playboy, but whoever thought he was a idle person would be wrong.

Chen Ao repeated the matter in the palace word by word, and then cheered up and said: "Eliminating the king's minister is like cutting off Cai Jing's right-hand man, Duke Wei County, and Master in law, what do you think?"

Weijun said justice: "The minister of the king is just a lackey. After leaving him, Cai Jing takes charge of the three affairs. He can arrange a second and third at any time. As Chen Xianniang said, then we might as well take Cai Jing directly and let Cai Jing see how powerful we are."

Everyone was ready to fight. Since Cai Jing recovered, the situation of the new and old party changed drastically, and the momentum of the new party immediately became louder and suppressed the old party. If this continues, as long as Cai Jing stabilizes his position and uses a heavy blow to the point, the future of those present will be setbacks.

Quartz's words were very strong and they never dared to imagine it in a few days. At this time, counterattack against Cai Jing was a desperate situation; however, many people have realized that Chen Ao's turnaround just gave them a good opportunity.

The king's minister naturally needs to get rid of him. Eliminating him can restore the momentum of some old party and make the old party have some concerns.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I have a suggestion."

Everyone looked at him again, but didn't say anything. He made a suggestion. Who would say no? In a vague way, whether it was Chen Ao's friends or enemies in Bianjing City had a consensus that Chen Ao could not be provoked or could not be provoked.

Chen Ao said seriously: "Only we know about Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, but Cai Jing is not aware of it. Think about it, what would Cai Jing do if someone impeached the king's minister?"

Jiang Min couldn't stop thinking and said, "Of course, it's hard to maintain it."

Chen Ao stopped talking, no one was fool, and there was no need to say it too thoroughly. This reminder was enough to make people start to plan the next step.

Early the next morning, a memorial was delivered to the Secretariat Province. When several Secretariats saw it, they almost took a breath. They did not dare to speak out, but they did not dare to make a decision. They gathered together for a moment and immediately informed Cai Jing.

Cai Jing received the memorial and couldn't help but smile bitterly - trouble is coming.

This is a memorial for impeachment. The drafter is Chen Ao. The target of impeachment is the minister of the king. The writing is all polite words of moderate order. All ministers who hear loyalty will not be suspicious of their beliefs. They often agree with it. It means: I often hear people say that loyal ministers will not hide their king, so if there is something wrong, they will definitely report it. I think this sentence is very correct.

The first sentence is considered as positioning, which means that Your Majesty, I am a loyal minister, so if you have something to report to you, you must not be surprised. After that, the second sentence began to set off. Chen Ao's memorials were full of gunpowder. I heard that Wang Zhishu was a bad person. Although he was in charge of punishment, he often couldn't tell the truth and enjoyed corruption and framed him. Later, he listed all the bad deeds of the king. He also said that the king's minister once got drunk at Cai Jing's house. It would be fine if he was drunk, but he still liked to recite poems. It was nothing to recite poems, but this sentence had a deep meaning.

Chen Ao wrote on it: The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and the snow falls thousands of miles away... All of them are gone, and there are several romantic figures, and they still look at the present day.

Cai Jing was so scared that his face looked like earth. God knew where the poem came from. The lines were full of disrespectful words. Tang Zong and Song ancestors even calculated the emperor's ancestors. When they arrived, Cai Jing's cheeks couldn't help but twitched. They were all gone. Qin Emperor and Han Wu were gone, Tang Taizong, and even Emperor Taizu, were gone. This sentence was just like killing ten heads.

The last sentence is even more arrogant. Counting the romantic figures, it depends on who is today? Who is this romantic figure? In such a big tone, even Cao Cao and Wang Mang did not express it with such a courage. But in this memorial, Wang Zhichen said it at Cai Jing's house.

"Framed." Cai Jing was so sophisticated that although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down. He held this hot melody and his turbid eyes were unpredictable.

This impeachment is of great importance. Although he knew it was a frame-up, Cai Jing understood that once it was submitted to His Majesty's imperial case, he would immediately order a thorough investigation. Moreover, this matter is related to the Ministry of Justice and even his Grand Tutor, who will His Majesty give the task of thorough investigation to?

Cai Jing sat down and immediately understood the power of Chen Ao. He wanted to avoid suspicion. Wang Zhichen's Ministry of Justice would not interfere. The only possibility was that the royal family, Dali Temple or even Chen Ao came to investigate and deal with this shocking case himself.

The royal family is the territory of King Jin, and it is not necessary to say that the relationship between King Jin and Chen Ao is the basic foundation of the old party. If Chen Ao cannot get it, it will be even more troublesome. This memorial is a pit, and even though this pit is dangerous, the passerby has to jump down. After reading this memorial, even if His Majesty reads this memorial, he has to investigate it. Even if the king's minister is extremely wronged, as long as he cannot find convincing evidence, even if he does not die, his life's future will be ruined.

What made Cai Jing most frightened was that this matter also interfered with himself. Once the king's minister was finished, who would be the next one? If the king's minister impeached, they would never give up. The next goal would be himself. Because once the king's minister's crime was confirmed, the next question was that since he was drinking in his own home, why did he know this poem but why didn't he repay it? The last sentence in the anti-poem "Count the romantic figures and look at the present day" can also make a big fuss. When the goal is directed to the king's minister, it can be said that the king's minister's poem refers to himself, which means he has the intention of rebellion. But from another perspective, when the king's minister came to Cai Jing's mansion to write this poem, can't it be said that the romantic figure referred to by the king's minister is Cai Jing?

The king's minister was Cai Jing's confidant. Cai Jing was in charge of the three affairs. His power was more autocratic than the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. Once this pot of shit was placed on his head, he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Chen Ao, Chen Ao, you are so scheming!" Cai Jing sighed, thought for a while, and found that he could not do anything to Chen Ao. This guy was like a scoundrel, full of flaws, but such an opponent was never seen by Cai Jing. For example, such shameless frame-up, among the political enemies Cai Jing attacked back then, who would use this despicable method?

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said to a Shushu Sheren: "Call the king's ministers, go and go quickly, don't delay."

After a while, the minister of Wang Zhi came. When he saw that Cai Jing looked bad, he immediately became more careful and saluted Cai Jing and said, "The Grand Master called the lower magistrate, I wonder what instructions did you give?"

Cai Jing snorted coldly, threw the memorial directly at the feet of Wang Zhichen, and said, "You go and read it yourself."

Wang Zhichen picked up the memorial, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed. Qiqi said aii: "Taishi, you know the officials, and the officials are loyal. This poem is definitely not written by the officials, yes, it must be that arrogance. After the last time he tried, he held a grudge..."

Cai Jing said coldly: "You don't have to defend yourself anymore. I know you. You don't have the courage, and you can't write any poems that are so arrogant that I want to tell you that no matter whether it is true or false, this memorial is enough to win your life."

The king's minister hurriedly bowed down, and Taotao cried: "The Grand Master saved me..."

"Save? What to save? Chen Ao came prepared. This person is good at calculating and has long blocked the road ahead and back. If the memorial is submitted, it will be the king of the sect and Dali Temple. Chen Ao will immediately be investigated. No matter which one comes to investigate you, you will definitely die. Perhaps they have colluded now. If they are very disrespectful and have a rebellion, it will be enough to kill the three clans."

The king's minister was so scared that his face was pale and he kept kowtowing: "Tao Shi..."

Cai Jing sighed: "I told you a long time ago that it is not easy to deal with Chen Ao. You have to make a rash move and offend people to death. You don't even have any room for maneuver. Now, ten years, ten years, Hexi, and only a few days have passed. Chen Ao is going to fight back and put you to death."

Cai Jing licked his shriveled lips, and his eyes gradually became eager to try, and continued, "But you don't have to be afraid. Since the memorial has arrived in the Secretariat, I will press the memorial for a few days first, see the direction of the wind, and then come up with a feasible solution. What you need to do now is to clear your fault as soon as possible. The memorial says the ninth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Xuanhe. Where did you go and what did you do on this day? Who are you with, and whether anyone can do verbal evidence, think about these things carefully, so as to save things from coming and let others slaughter."

Wang Zhichen thought about it, nodded quickly and said, "No, I'll go back and think about it clearly now."

After saying that, Wang Zhichen still felt that doing this was not safe enough. Judging from Cai Jing's accent, the case would definitely be handed over to the Zongwang, Dali Temple or Chen Ao. No matter who it is, he had no friendship with them, and there were many rifts. He swallowed and said, "Taishi, can you just leave the memorial in the Secretariat, so you don't have to present it to the imperial examination?"

According to conventional rules, the Secretariat really has this function. The Song Dynasty was so big that there were countless things that happened every day, and the memorials were flying all over the sky. Of course, the emperor could not finish reading these memorials, so the Secretariat appeared. When the memorials arrived at the Secretariat, the people of the Secretariat picked them up, suppressed some unimportant things, and presented important memorials into the palace. In this way, all the small things were delegated to the three provinces, while the major things were still controlled by the palace, and the two were suitable for each other.

The minister of the king made this request to fundamentally solve this problem.

Cai Jing shook his head and sighed, "If it were someone else, I could still suppress it, but who is Chen Ao? He is the one who will enter the palace every few days. The more he suppresses the memorial, the greater the sins he will be."

The king's minister changed his face to his bitter face: "So, it's a lot of good luck to the subordinates."

Cai Jing comforted: "This may not be the case. You should do what I said first, and there may be room for maneuver."

The king's minister had no choice but to say, "Then the official will surrender first, please give me more care."

Watching the king's minister leave, Cai Jing sighed, stroked his gray beard and picked up the memorial again, raised the memorial in his hand and said to the Zhongshu Sheren: "Don't record this memorial for the time being, I will talk about it three days later."

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was Cai Jing's confidant, and immediately said, "The officials understand."

When the memorial was handed over, there was no news. Chen Ao was not in a hurry at all. In his opinion, Cai Jing could not have known the significance of the memorial. To resolve the misfortune of this memorial, it would take time to prepare carefully.

However, the Empress Dowager couldn't wait and asked Zhao Ji repeatedly. Zhao Ji was entangled, so he had to summon Chen Ao to the palace again and scolded Chen Ao with a stern face: "I asked you to submit a memorial to impeach the minister of the king, why is there no movement yet? The Empress Dowager asked him tightly, I don't have time to slowly procrastinate with you."

Chen Ao said in surprise: "Your Majesty, I have handed over the memorial, why don't Your Majesty know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of suspicion flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes.

"When did you hand over the memorial?" Zhao Ji frowned and asked Chen Ao.
