Chapter 525: Fighting

The news about the inner city of Bianjing was spreading quickly. There was such a big noise last night. None of the adults in the court could sleep peacefully. They were passing by in the middle of the night, or listening to the news from the lower part of the study. Some watched coldly, some were secretly happy, and some were anxious.

Although Chen Ao had the right to mobilize the Ma Junsi, he directly bypassed the Menxia Province, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War, so the only possibility was that there was a decree. The question is, why did the palace suddenly make a big move? Su suddenly attacked King Su?

In the eyes of the three provinces, six ministers and nine ministers, King Su was just an optional person. Although Zhao Shu was a prince, he could not affect the court. Suddenly, he said it was a rebellion, but no one believed it. Not to mention anything else, if it was a rebellion, who could he mobilize? Who would he be willing to listen to his envoy?

The problem arises. King Su and the prince have always had a good relationship, and suddenly they were charged with treason. As King Su, they were probably just threatening to follow. So who is the mastermind?

Just thinking about this, many people unconsciously felt cold sweat from their backs, and some even murmured in the study: "Is it because the crown prince is about to change his ownership?"

It is not difficult to make this guess. The Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and even the game in every prefecture and county is turbulent, let alone the Tian family. If a signal is sent from the palace and the prince is to be attacked, it is not ruled out that he will hit King Su first and knock the mountain and the tiger.

It was just to sacrifice a King Su for the change of power to the position of the throne, but it was somewhat unreasonable. Since he had been charged with treason, King Su was afraid that it would be difficult to make a big deal. Either he was banned or sentenced to death, there was no other way to go. No matter how bad King Su was not respected, he was a nobleman after all, and he could never be a abandoned son at will.

Thinking about this, I became even more confused. Most of the official residences in Bianjing gathered in several neighborhoods. These neighborhoods suddenly became lively, and black shadows came out one by one. Most of them were servants from the official houses. They visited everywhere with famous sects, some were listening to news, and some were discussing each other. Several censors were hesitating whether they should submit a memorial, asking the deposed prince, and taking advantage of their lives. However, this idea was just fleeting. Not to mention that the current situation is still unclear, the saint's intention is also unpredictable. If you complain about this critical moment, you will inevitably be despised by your colleagues.

Thinking of this, it was really murderous outside the street, and the officials' houses were filled with hot pot ants.

Cai Jing was woken up in the middle of the night. He was old and if something big had happened, his servants would not dare to disturb him. It was just that such a thing happened outside. In addition, the second master Cai Tao was still in the Ding Prince's Mansion, and no one in the Cai Mansion could make a decision, so he had to wake Cai Jing up.

Cai Jing put on his clothes in a daze, took a sip of ginseng soup in the small hall, and his spirit recovered a little. His eyes fell on the head of the kneeling man, and he slowly said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, no big deal will happen."

"You can't say that. The second master is still in the Ding Prince's Mansion. Now Chen Lengzi has dispatched troops to surround the Ding Prince's Mansion. Who knows what will happen? Should I take your *** to the Ding Prince's Mansion for a trip? In any case, take the second master back first."

Cai Jing shook his head: "Everyone said that Chen Ao is a lame, but look at his actions, everything is targeted. He led his troops to surround the Ding Prince's Mansion to show his attitude and lose sincerity to the third prince. Besides, he could mobilize the army and horses of the Horse Army, so there must be someone in the palace nodding, so he dared to be so unscrupulous. Now that Shen Ao demonstrates to the prince, it is impossible to do anything to Tao'er, otherwise I will stand up and fight him in the arena, and he will not be afraid. It is helpless to offend a prince. In addition, I will really fight to the death, and no one will be able to do anything."

At this time, a little maid brought a copper basin and a teacup to rinse Cai Jing. Cai Jing took a breath and continued, "I just don't know what crime King Su committed, but it was so far that he could not even tolerate the palace. There was no news about this matter in the palace, and there was no news from the three sectors. If you guessed it well, the matter that King Su committed was not only not light, but also related to the reputation of the Tian family. Alas... why did this happen? Prince, who has no wives and concubines? Why is it like this..."

Cai Jing seemed quite heartbroken. King Su was nothing in his eyes, but if King Su was caught with a braid, he could write a large piece of articles. Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us. Taoer waits for him to come back tomorrow and ask him to be more at peace. I know that he has been guilty for so long, and I will definitely feel unhappy in my heart. I always want to live a little while, but now it is different from the past."

After hearing Cai Jing's words, the head of the matter said: "The villain is relieved. As long as the second master is fine, it's fine. Will the Grand Master take a nap? Tomorrow, the villain will go to the gate to talk to the Grand Master for one day's leave?"

Cai Jing waved his hand and said, "It's better to be cautious at this time, it's okay, I'll sit for a while."

The head of the army said nothing, stood up and stood carefully on the side of the door; Cai Jing lay on his back on the chair of the Grand Master, closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was asleep or thinking about his thoughts, but he did not make any sound.

I don’t know how long it took, but the news came from the doorman. The headman said happily, “Why is the second master back? Go and take a look.”

Cai Jing nodded vaguely, and Cai Tao's footsteps came from over there. Cai Tao came in from behind. When he saw Cai Jing, he immediately saluted: "Dad, are you not sleeping?"

Cai Jing's eyes opened and he looked at Cai Tao and said, "Who has the heart to sleep for such a big noise? Sit down and I have something to say to you."

Cai Tao found a seat and sat down. Before Cai Jing could speak, he was already angry and said, "Dad must have known this. Shen Ao really took the courage of Xiongxin. Now King Su has been taken to the martial arts school by him. The prince is still angry. The dignified prince and the sect king have also been forced to this point. Dad, you should always stand up at this time. You are the leader of all officials, so it's good to show your attitude."

Cai Jing smiled and said, "What attitude do you have? Go and fight with the palace? Do you really think that without the instructions from the palace, Shen Ao dares to take King Su?"

Cai Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "That's what kind of slander Shen Aojin has? King Su's rebellion? Humph, a big joke."

Cai Jing couldn't help but shake his head. This son was not only not as good as himself, but also his brother who was now guilty. Perhaps he had been at home for a long time and did not know the danger of the court. After thinking about it, he enlightened him: "If you want to punish the crime in the palace, treason is just an excuse. King Su can no longer tolerate the royal family. This is his own sin and cannot blame others. As for Shen Ao, he just used this to make a fuss and use King Su to establish his authority on the prince."

Cai Tao said: "King Su is not a rebellion, what is the matter that makes the palace unable to tolerate him?"

Cai Jing deliberately concealed some of his own speculations and said, "Shen Ao handled this matter, how could I know."

Cai Tao frowned and thought for a while, clenched his fists, and said, "There is no news outside, but Shen Ao will do it with one hand. It seems that no one is shaken by Shen Ao's holy family. Alas, there is no news in the palace to the court, so that we can also make preparations."

After the father and son said something for a while, Cai Jing was tired and asked Cai Tao to go and rest first. He sat for a while. Cai Tao did not dare to say anything, so he left.

Cai Jing sat on the chair without moving, his muddy eyes staring at the candlelight swaying in the flames, thinking about something.

In front of the Zhuqi gate, a soft sedan stopped carefully. First, a long su went to slap the door. When the door opened a gap, the door inside and the long sue who slap the door outside were obviously recognized. They exchanged glances under the vague lantern light. The concierge immediately understood, came out with the lantern from the Danwang Mansion, walked to the sedan chair, and whispered: "Your Highness..."

After a huh, a man wearing an ordinary Lun Scarf and a slutch came out of the sedan chair. The man was about twenty years old and was handsome. He shook an ordinary green bamboo fan in his hand and nodded at the doorman's jaw: "What? I haven't slept all night, so I can't see you. Did the emperor rest?"

The doorman bowed and replied, "I'm still painting in the study, saying that I promised Qinghe County to give her a painting."

The man said, "Qinghe can bully the emperor's brother. If it were me, if she came to ask me for painting, I would draw a turtle for her immediately." As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.

The concierge echoed: "His Highness King Xin is the same mother-in-law of the third prince, but his temperament is very different."

After saying that, he led people into the mansion.

The third prince Zhao Kai's study room was clean and tidy. There were not too many books on the bookshelf. Instead, the table was filled with various ancient books and ink. He focused on painting. He was licking the oil lamp with a long and careful licking the oil for the oil lamp. Outside the study, Zhao Kai straightened his waist, shook his head and sighed at the painting: "What a pity, what a pity..." He asked someone to put the painting away first, washed the ink-dip pen and put it into the pen holder. Then the door of the study opened, and someone came in with a smile: "Brother, good news."

Zhao Kai sat down, touched the short beard on his chin, and smiled and said, "I knew you would come, sit down."

The person who came was King Xin Zhao Zhi. Zhao Kai's mother had three sons. Zhao Kai was the oldest, Zhao Zhi's second son, and Chen Duke Zhao Ji was the youngest, and he was not yet at the age of his life.

Zhao Zhi sat down casually and said, "Did the emperor know the news?"

Zhao Kaihe nodded: "I know a little, the fifth brother is doomed this time."

Zhao Zhi shook his head: "If you want to blame him, blame him. Treason is a serious crime. It is said that there is ironclad evidence. He deserves it to this point."

Zhao Kai smiled unanimously: "Chen Ao did this trip cleanly and neatly, even the Ding Prince's Mansion dared to break through. This person is a civil and military talent, and he wins decisively. He will definitely be a powerful figure in the future."

Zhao Zhi looked at Zhao Kai with a deep meaning: "The emperor's brother doesn't think that Chen Ao offended the prince so much. What is the intention?"

Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I understand his thoughts. Look, tomorrow is the most exciting time. There is no news from the prince?"

Zhao Zhi said: "Yes, yes, it is said that he will bring people into the palace to plead for King Su tomorrow." Zhao Zhi smiled indifferently: "What the palace gave King Su's crime was the crime of treason, so he was already included in the crime and could not be punished. What's the use of pleading? Maybe he would be disappointed. The prince is usually very serious and cautious, but this time he is confused."

Zhao Kai shook his head: "He is not confused, he is helpless. The fifth prince and he broke his bones and connected his tendons. The fifth prince in *** is his iron rod. It is disappointing to hand over the fifth prince tonight. If it is nothing, what will others think? How many royal families in Bianjing City are looking at him. If people know that the prince is so cold, who is willing to serve him? So, no matter what the crime King Su committed, what the palace is, the prince must take this lead, impeach Chen Ao and plead for King Su. This game is just the beginning, and the real good show is behind."

At this time, Zhao Kai suddenly became extremely wise, his thin lips were gently pursed, with a little smile on his face. Zhao Zhi thought for a while: "What should we do tomorrow?"

Zhao Kai stroked the desk with his hand and said slowly: "We will plead with you too. No matter what, King Su is also our brother. I look at him coldly. What will others think? Besides, although King Su is not in harmony with you and me, his life experience..." Zhao Kai exclaimed and said slowly: "Just think it's your best to do your best."
