Chapter 393: Cai Jing's counterattack

Although it was spring and the weather had not yet warmed up, I received the imperial edict. Chen Ao Zong was reluctant, but he had to ride a horse and go into the palace.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the palace seemed a little dim. Although it added a little festive, it was still solemn and solemn. Zhao Ji sat alone in the martial arts hall. The robe she wore when she was worshiping the Taimiao Temple had not been replaced, but just sat blankly, watching the hall pillars in a daze.

Yang Jian also changed into a new dress, held a whisk, and was cleaning up the ashes from the Golden Palace.

Chen Ao came in and said loudly: "My minister, Chen Aote, comes to apologize."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Since you are here to apologize, you must look like you. Look at you, you don't even wear public uniforms. Come here, don't be silly with me."

Chen Ao secretly complained in his heart: "It's you who talks about the world, it's you who talk about the world. You're all good and bad. During the Chinese New Year, you're too busy to scold people and still call them alive?" He walked to the Golden Palace and said directly: "Your Majesty asked me to come, I wonder if you have anything to give me?"

Zhao Ji sighed, clicked a memorial on the case, and said, "Come and take a look."

Chen Aohe nodded, turned on the memorial and looked at it, and his spine immediately became cold. He felt the cold wind whirling at the back of his neck. He secretly looked at Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's face was as normal, but behind this indifferent background, Chen Ao couldn't figure it out for a while.

"I heard that those who seek the elder of a tree must strengthen its roots; those who want to flow far away must dredge its springs; those who think about the peace of a country must accumulate their virtues and righteousness... A man should be a heavy artifact and live in the great territory. Do not think about being at peace and be prepared for danger, and avoid extravagance and frugality. This is also to cut down the roots to seek lush trees, block the source and want to flow long."

Any hundred heads of the people who inherit the fate of the heaven and the scenery. Those who are good at the beginning are actually very numerous, while those who end up are few. How can they be taken easily and difficult to defend?... The resentment is not big, but people can only fear them. They should be careful when carrying boats and boats. Now Your Majesty creates the flowers and stone sects, which are extremely poor and extravagant, and they appoint evil evil, and the court is in chaos and chaos, and there is no such thing as the world... "

This is an impeachment memorial. It is not someone else who impeached. The first target was Zhao Ji. He first told him a big truth, then changed the subject and pointed out that Zhao Ji was extremely cruel and extravagant and had an excessive desire to enjoy himself. The second person who impeached was Cai Jing, who said that Cai Jing only knew how to please the emperor and was extremely guilty. He asked the emperor to issue an edict to correct his mistakes and immediately pursue Cai Jing's crimes. Otherwise... the impeacher added a threat at the end: Will Your Majesty hear about the disaster of Sui Yang?

The meaning of this sentence is, has Your Majesty ever heard the allusions of Emperor Yang of Sui? If you don’t listen to my advice, Your Majesty will not be far from the fate of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Chen Ao took a deep breath and read the signature of the memorial, which read: Liu Chang, the Tongzhi Privy Council.

"Liu Chang?" A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Ao's eyes. This guy is not outstanding usually. Chen Ao has only seen him once. It is said that he has a good relationship with Gao Qiu. Although Gao Qiu is not Cai Jing's lackey, he is also his accomplice. At this time, Liu Chang came out to impeach Cai Jing. Could it be that there was an internal strife between Gao Qiu and Cai Jing?

Chen Ao closed his eyes and found that the officialdom was really weird and incredible things would happen every day. He thought about it, and read the memorial again, and then he saw that there was a big loophole in the memorial. This loophole is, since Liu Chang wanted to deal with Cai Jing, why did he pull Zhao Ji together? It should be noted that the smaller the impeachment, the greater the success rate, but if you want to impeach the emperor together, the hope for success is slim.

In fact, just think about this kind of thing, just like a referee. It’s okay if you scold the opponent’s player, but it’s not enough to scold the opponent’s player, and they scold the referee together. In this way, isn’t this forcibly pushing the referee to his opposite side?

I understand that this memorial is Cai Jing's bitter plan. I have been circulated and impeached memorials, and the tenth memorial was instructed by Cai Jing. The reason is very simple. If you read this memorial to Zhao Ji, what was the first reaction? Of course, I was furious. From the emperor's standpoint, the emperor would naturally think that I just like some strange stones and woods, and I also want you to point out some points. What are you? In this way, I became Emperor Yang of Sui, which is really outrageous.

More importantly, the impeachment of Lieutenant General Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were tied together, which made Zhao Ji feel like a brother in distress. As the emperor, someone impeached Cai Jing like this not only would not make him feel disgusted towards Cai Jing, but instead would have a more dependent intuition. It turns out that with Cai Jing, I can only have the enjoyment today. It is really difficult for him and to win my favor. I don’t know how many questions I have suffered in the court.

Chen Ao put down his memorial and finally understood that this was a means for Cai Jing to try to gain a foothold after the first contest. Now Zhao Ji is a little dissatisfied with him. He has to stabilize his basic foundation before he can take this worst strategy and take a trick to retreat to advance. On the surface, he was impeached, but he is the one who really benefited.

It's indeed an old fox!

Chen Ao has made a judgment, but he has to admire Cai Jing's methods and uses conspiracies. Cai Jing is enough to be the ancestor of anyone. A memorial that seems to be unfavorable to him is probably now a means of protecting himself. With the emperor's sympathy for him, the original emperor's displeasure towards him will soon disappear.

Zhao Ji looked at Chen Ao and said, "Does Chen Ao have any opinions?"

Chen Ao put down his memorial and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If Your Majesty is Emperor Yang of Sui, then what is Liu Chang? As for Master Cai, he is the pillar of my Song Dynasty. He is loyal to Your Majesty. This person must be jealous of Master Cai, and Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to it."

Zhao Ji nodded in agreement and said, "Forget it, I don't care about him, I will pay attention to what he does." His face became deeper again, and his eyebrows were covered with haze. He picked up another memorial and handed it to Chen Ao and said, "Look at this memorial again."

Chen Ao didn't know what happened to Zhao Ji today? A minister of the Honglu Temple seemed to have become a grand tutor. He accompanied the emperor to read the memorial during the New Year. Is there still a complete end? Although he was reluctant, he still picked up the memorial. This memorial was not about impeachment, but the memorial of Jiang Bing, the transferor of Jiangnan West Road. Jiang Bing was in charge of the grain transportation and was the most loyal executor of Huashigang. I guess the emperor wanted to liquidate the Suhang Bureau and had already revealed the news to him. As the emperor's cousin, Jiang Bing's performance was indeed cunning. He immediately submitted a memorial. He turned his finger and began to fire at the Suhang Bureau. What colleagues, grasshoppers on the line, the emperor wanted to punish you. Of course, Jiang Bing immediately escaped and changed from the original Suhang Bureau's protective umbrella to the anti-gang pioneer.

This memorial talked about many disadvantages of the Suzhou-Hangzhou manufacturing situation, such as shocking corruption and disturbing the people. Of course, Jiang Bing had to defend himself a few words and admitted that he had indeed gained benefits, but he had to do so. To put it bluntly, he was forced to lie in this muddy water. He was a good child and very innocent.

"This Jiang Bing is the best at observing words and expressions, admire them, admire them." Chen Ao couldn't help but exclaim, and couldn't help but think: "It seems that people who can make a fortune in front of Zhao Ji are not simple."

However, Jiang Bing was not just about changing his mind, and he had some skills. The content of the memorial mentioned many interests after the Suhang Industrial Bureau, such as the interests of major families in Jiangnan, and many benefits gained by the people in the court. In short, this pot of rice was not eaten by Jiang Bing and Industrial Bureau. Once the pot was smashed, there would be great resistance. Therefore, Jiang Bing's suggestion was that the Suhang Industrial Bureau could be cut off and not thoroughly investigated.

The last opinion is not because Jiang Bing is afraid of causing trouble. He has his own difficulties. It is fine to cut it off and it will not be enough for everyone to eat. Although he is itchy, but His Majesty has opened his mouth, who dares to say anything? But it will be different if you thoroughly investigate. There are too many people involved here. God knows how many people are unclean here. If you really check it, if you touch the whole body, God knows what holes will be pierced.

Chen Ao raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Ji, wanting to hear what Zhao Ji has to say.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to look at me and tell me what you think."

Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "If it were a gentle minister, even if he broke the casserole, he would have to come up with the truth. These people are bullying the king in Jiangnan, and those wealthy families should be spit out now."

Zhao Ji said: "I'm afraid that it will involve the imperial court, and the end will not be lost at that time."

Chen Ao smiled: "As long as Your Majesty makes up his mind, what's the big deal? Are there any kings and ministers in the world? Can they dare to rebel?"

Zhao Ji thought for a while and sighed, "Then check it, I want to see how much they have deceived me, but it is not easy to investigate. Jiang Bing's memorial was clearly written. Even if I go in person, these people are just a piece of iron, and it is difficult to find evidence of their crimes. I have an idea."

Chen Ao was guilty and had an idea? Hello, why are you watching me do this? Could it be that you teach me to play forward for you? This is not good, thankless.

Zhao Ji said: "I plan to let you do a job in the manufacturing process after the New Year. You will go to Suhang first with openness, and I will arrive later. Then we will cooperate with you inside and outside, and we will not be afraid that they will make a comeback."

Chen Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. Can I..."

"No!" Zhao Ji's words were firm, and then comforted him: "I can believe that you are the only one. This time you go deep into the tiger's den. If you do it well, I will definitely give you a reward."

Chen Ao said: "Maybe Your Majesty wants to bring the princess..."

Zhao Ji glared at him: "Don't mention this matter again." His face calmed down again: "If you really do it, I might be able to consider it. Oh, An Ning's health is getting worse and worse."

Chen Ao also became sad for a moment. The king and his ministers sat in the golden hall and stared at each other, and all became silent.
