Chapter 428: Experts take action

The small soft sedan chair carried by the four people was neither ostentatious nor lost its identity. The four porters were the same height and were generally agile, and they were steadily carrying the sedan chair to the door of Cai’s mansion. The porter carefully placed the sedan chair, but the people inside refused to come out. The concierge of the Cai’s mansion quickly went in to report, and a fat butler rushed over quickly, walked to the sedan chair, carefully bowed, gently lifted the curtain, and whispered: "Master, you're home."

The person inside nodded and asked, "Is it okay at home?"

"Okay, very good." The housekeeper answered smoothly. He had to answer this answer every day, without any storm.

The people inside slowly supported the butler's hand and trembled slightly, stood up straight, turned his hand and patted the back of the butler's hand. The butler understood and pulled his hand back, which meant that the master did not need anyone to help him.

The person who came out of the sedan chair was Cai Jing. Cai Jing walked into the door calmly and calmly. The housekeeper followed carefully to serve him. Cai Jing suddenly stopped and seemed to remember something, saying, "Go and tell the doorman. If Wang Shaozai comes, he will open the middle door and invite him in."

The housekeeper was stunned: "Didn't the master say he won't see him?"

Cai Jing smiled faintly: "Today is different from the past, let's do what I said."

After saying that, he started again and arrived at the small hall. The mouthwash was ready. After rinsing, the two maids changed their court clothes. They still had a bowl of ginseng soup. They drank half of them slowly. Without anyone's instructions, the maids would take them down.

Cai Jing sat down and raised the gods, and suddenly said, "The door wall of Wang Shaozai's house should be demolished. By the way, I remember that his wife will celebrate her birthday in a few days. Alas... she is one year older, and life is short and not easy. Go and ask Cai Tao to prepare a gift and send it in advance to celebrate Mrs. Wang's birthday."

The housekeeper responded, went down and gave the order and came back, saying with confusion: "Master..."

"You don't have to ask, and I won't tell you after asking. The time is coming, why haven't Wang Shaozai come yet?"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "He was turned away a few times, but he would definitely not come now. Otherwise, please invite someone to take the master's name and invite him?"

Cai Jing shook his head: "No need."

After a while, the person from the gatehouse came over and said, "Master, Mr. Wang, please see me."

Cai Jing smiled slightly and said to the person in the gatehouse: "Look, isn't this coming? Go and invite him in."

Not long after, Wang Fu had not changed his court uniform, but he came in dustyly, bowed to Cai Jing respectfully, and said, "Tao Shi."

"Oh, it's Jiangming, come and sit down and talk."

Wang Fu sat down and was about to speak, Cai Jing was already smiling: "I didn't expect that Shen Ao was trapped in your hands this time. You are so terrifying, and so terrifying! If you go up with this memorial, Shen Ao has no physiology. This method is good, and even I am in the dark."

Wang Fu smiled reservedly: "There is no sign of the eight characters, who knows what twists and turns will happen."

Cai Jing shook his head: "Your Majesty's character, I know that he can't buy other people's accounts. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's account are not something he can do, not to mention that the Queen Mother is 'ill'. This matter is related to filial piety. He is soft-hearted and is urging him to make up his mind and wait and see. There will definitely be news in a few days."

Wang Fu said, "That's why I came to discuss with the Grand Master. Now it's time to urge Your Majesty to make up his mind. I have a memorial here, which is the evidence of the crime that the subordinates helped to collect. The disciples also helped to add a few strokes to polish it, and asked the Grand Master to take a look."

Wang Fu carefully handed over a draft memorial. Cai Jing opened it and closed it and threw it aside, shook his head: "This memorial cannot be done."

"No?" Wang Fu was a little dissatisfied. He spent a lot of effort on this memorial. He thought he could get a few words of praise from the Taishi, but the Taishi just took a look and decisively rejected it.

"Please give me advice."

Cai Jing closed his eyes and stroked his beard, as if he was placing a slight in his heart. After a while, he said, "Don't weave a crime. At this time, the great crime will not only fail to cause the effect of putting in the wrong, but will backfire. Don't say anything from heavy sanctions, or searching the house, or even if you can judge. When you say that, Your Majesty's love for Chen Ao will be in a desperate situation to protect him. The more rampant the attacks are, Chen Ao will be able to escape. Don't forget the lessons of the king's ministers. It is important to know that the relationship between Chen Ao and the official family has long surpassed the monarch and ministers. The official family may not be sure to have a share in these crimes committed by Chen Ao. If you scold Chen Ao, wouldn't it be a scolding today?"

Wang Fu listened and nodded repeatedly: "No charge was mentioned?"

"Not mention it!" Cai Jing said firmly: "Just talk about filial piety and more about the benefits of the Empress Dowager. When His Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager made a lot of efforts and said a lot of good things, and they must be written down."

Wang Fuhe nodded: "It's just that who should hand over this memorial? It's too few people, but it won't work. If there are too many people, I'm afraid that Duke Wei will make trouble."

"Hmph, quartz cannot be damaged. At this time, no one dares to stand up and say "No". People, we have this kind of discussion is like marching and setting up formations. Of course, the more people, the better, but they cannot be messy. It must be orderly and consistent to achieve the effect of killing the enemy. If you know it, you will write it according to the topic of filial piety. If you write well, they will definitely benefit them."

When Wang Fu heard Cai Jing's voice, he knew that the old fox was going to take action himself. The Grand Master was silent for many years and was even more restrained after his recovery, but he refused to take action. This time he went into battle himself, Wang Fu was overjoyed.

Wang Fu firmly believed that as long as Master Cai was willing to take action, he would definitely win. This time, Chen Ao was destined to die.

Cai Jing said slowly again: "Okay, I'm tired, I've said so long, it's time to go to bed and get some rest. You can do the rest by yourself and let it go."

Wang Fu nodded, stood up and said goodbye. At the end of the day, Cai Jing said again: "When you have time, come and spend more time with me. I am half-drunk. I always want to find someone to talk to. My children and grandchildren have their own plans and are not caring."

Wang Fu smiled and said, "Yes."

On the second day after Wang Fu handed over the memorial, it was the eighth day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Xuanhe. The morning was foggy. The court officials arrived outside Zhengde Gate early in the morning. News came from the palace: "Your Majesty has served the Empress Dowager for a night. Now it has been rested. All the memorials are handed over to the door."

So the ministers dispersed one after another, but the palace did not stop. In the morning, the memorials from the Ministry of Education were handed in. There were four boxes and four hundred and thirty-one memorials. The heavy memorials were sent to Zhao Ji's bedroom. Zhao Ji immediately frowned. Before Yang Jian came back from Suzhou, the imperial carriage was still there, and he still had to deal with the aftermath. Therefore, the eunuch beside him looked at Zhao Ji's face and was immediately scared to speak.

Zhao Ji did not read the memorial, but said lightly: "What? They are all impeachment memorials sent by the Ministry of Education?"

"I don't know."

"Hmph, why did this Chen Ao mess with so many people? This is called the wall falling down and everyone pushing it. Usually, they don't trim it. At this time, people are eager to put a trick on him." He complained for a while, and finally sat up from the couch, picked up a few memorials and looked at it, and threw it aside: "Take it to archive."

The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty hasn't finished watching it yet."

"If you ask you to save, you don't have to read it, I know what these memorials are saying? Take it away, and also ask someone to go to the harem to explore the Queen Mother's disease and see if it has improved. I just say that I will pass in another hour, and the Imperial Hospital has not diagnosed the root of the disease. I also ask someone to pass the message, telling them not to delay the Queen Mother's disease, nor do I delay myself."

Zhao Ji seemed extremely calm and not at all disordered. He picked up a Suiya Weekly magazine in front of the bed and went to read it slowly. After a full hour, he asked someone to change his clothes and rushed to the harem.

After asking the Queen Mother's An, he personally took the decocted medicine to feed the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother pillowed her head and looked a little worse. She called the official family and said softly and weakly: "You are busy with national affairs, and the Ai family doesn't have to serve you so diligently. Just come and ask for peace every day, why bother so much."

Zhao Ji was sitting beside him, carefully tucking the cushion for the Empress Dowager, and smiled and said, "I'm taking the opportunity to be lazy, I've even saved my court." Then he said, "Besides, this is my filial piety and the kindness of the Empress Dowager, I will never repay it for my whole life."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she felt a little panicked. She glanced at Zhao Ji with her eyes flashing, deliberately putting the corners of her eyes aside, not daring to look at Zhao Ji's eyes, and said dryly: "The court officials will definitely scold me in the future. I, the old woman, died, so that you can't let Your Majesty distract you." She originally wanted to tell a joke, but she didn't think there was anything ridiculous about the joke. The Empress Dowager had to say again: "Is there any news outside?"

Zhao Ji said, "It's not a matter of Chen Ao. At this point, I can only punish him." He exclaimed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he resolutely said, "The Empress Dowager is relieved, I will do it according to your order."

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips but didn't speak. She didn't have any unforgettable grudges towards Chen Ao. She just felt that since she issued an imperial edict to offend everyone, it would be better to eradicate the roots, so that Chengri, who was surnamed Chen, would not get along with the Empress Dowager and cause her unhappiness. However, seeing Zhao Ji's appearance made her feel a little unbearable, and the woman was hard and soft.
