Chapter 674: Everyone pushes the wall

Headed by Cai Jing, officials lined up in a long queue, and in the rain, they were about to enter the palace. In the eyes of these people, Chen Ao wearing a hat is really a monster. It would be fine to wear a hat well, but if you wear two heads, so many people are braved by the rain, it is really a bit uncomfortable.

Cai Jing was the first to pass the door, but was stopped by the eunuch just now. The eunuch smiled strangely. In the eyes of officials, the eunuchs in the palace were roughly equivalent to an official's barometer. They were often the first to be limelight and knew who was going to be promoted and who was going to be unlucky, so their attitude towards people was often first.

The eunuch giggled and said to Cai Jing gloomyly: "Trial Master, go in slowly."

Cai Jing was wet and indescribably desolate, and said dumbly: "What do you think of me, father-in-law?"

The eunuch said arrogantly: "Your Majesty said that the Grand Master is old and the court has discussed hard work. Let's go home and rest for the rest."

Cai Jing couldn't help but tremble. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked when things came to an end. His eyebrows and eyes were wet by the rain before they could wipe them. He slowly knelt in the rain and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

The officials behind him were stunned and whispered. No one had ever thought that the Grand Master, who had been aged for decades, finally said what he said was self-evident.

The eunuch continued, "Your Majesty also said that if the Grand Master had anything else to say, you could ask the Miscellaneous Family to hand it over, and you would not have to go to the palace in the future. The Grand Master is old and it is time to enjoy his old age."

Cai Jing knelt straight and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please tell Your Majesty..." He paused for a moment and said slowly, "I am 80 years old and sick, covering the fields and keeping them secretly. For the sake of the grace and glory, I will die before my eyes, so why should I be more coveted? He falsely accused the rioters of the traitors and sit down to defeat the Red Clan." He took his head heavily in a pool of water on the floor tiles: "Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"

This self-disputed word fully demonstrates Cai Jing's mood at this time. If he said he was corrupt and said he was a disaster to the country, he would admit it, but now he is deceiving the king and is invincible. This crime is something that Cai Jing dares not take. For decades, he has obeyed Zhao Ji's will and favored him, but now he has ended up deceiving the king, which is truly touching people.

The eunuch said coldly: "The master's words are remembered by the miscellaneous family. I will report back later. Master, please come back."

Cai Jing said thank you and staggered to his feet, but no one went to support him. Those who knew him deliberately turned their faces aside. The warmth and coldness of human feelings were vividly reflected in this poetic rain. The former disciples who had ever wished they could stand in front of the horse, at this moment, were not ashamed as a trace of fear, but also indifference.

Cai Jing's era is over. At this time, it is time to change the family and plan for his own family.

Cai Jing stood up dumbly, his steps were a little swaying, and he walked back step by step. The drizzle seemed to block his vision, making him unable to tell the direction. At this moment, a hat came over, and the man wearing a straw raincoat and a hat handed him the hat with a knowing smile. Fortunately, he had two hats on his head, one and one on his head. He smiled sincerely and said, "Taishu, I will borrow this hat for you."

After saying that, he walked over to support Cai Jing and sent him to the sedan chair step by step. Cai Jing said nothing. When he got into the sedan chair, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ao deeply and said, "You are polite to Pingxi."

Chen Ao bent his waist, owed to him, and said nothing, returning to the officer's team.

This behavior shocked everyone. He thought that the King of Pingxi was waiting for an opportunity to humiliate him, and then he turned his head over and pretended that he had not seen anything.

But only Cai Jing and Shen Ao knew that Chen Ao's actions were completely sincere. Although they were mortal enemies, deep in Shen Ao's heart, if it were not for the enemy Cai Jing, his political skills would never have reached the point of perfection now. It was precisely because of this terrible enemy that Chen Ao was terrified step by step while constantly pondering and learning that he achieved the current King of Pingxi.

Chen Ao didn't know whether such a change was good or bad. At least for the moment, Chen Ao completely treated Cai Jing with his teacher's courtesy. He braved the rain and returned to the team, and the officials were already in line. Chen Ao was at the end. Although he didn't say anything, he had already revealed his murderous intention at this time.

To completely defeat Cai Jing is only today.

In the martial arts hall, Zhao Ji was wearing a crown robe and went to the hall with a gloomy face. He first glanced at Chen Ao, then sat on the imperial chair, pursing his lips and silent.

The ministers were so depressed by the atmosphere that they couldn't breathe. Someone secretly looked at Zhao Ji, and finally lowered his head. The situation was confusing, and it was better to avoid opening the door. It affected Yuchi and was really unjustly dead.

The emperor and his ministers in the palace seemed to be competing, and no one spoke. After a long time, Zhao Ji suddenly said: "The mutiny in the border town is the main reason..." He glanced and his eyes fell on Fang Da, the new Minister of War.

Fang Daru was scorching in the heat, unable to help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and complained in his heart. The Minister of War in recent years did not know what taboo he had made, one was more miserable than the other. Before his butt was hot, he bumped into such a thing.

Fang Da stood out of work timidly and said the word he thought: "Your Majesty, I am the one who took office in Chuyue, and the money and food last month..." His Adam's apple rolled, and then gritted his teeth. Cai Jingdu fell, and he was still afraid that Cai Tao would do what?

Fang Da calmed down and continued: "They are all former Ministers of War..."

Zhao Ji nodded, and this was the result he wanted. Cai Tao was Cai Jing's second son. Although he was extremely disgusted with Cai Jing, he had been favoring Cai Jing for decades. How could he turn against him? This face must be made by the lower-ranking people and let him go with the flow.

In this way, who said that Zhao Ji was not missing the old love?

Zhao Ji interrupted coldly: "Are you talking about Cai Tao?"

Fang Da shivered for a moment, his knees softened, and he knelt down. Although Cai Jing was about to fall, but for decades, who knew if he would recover again? But the arrow was on the string, but he had to shoot, and he couldn't teach himself to take the blame. He was actually half of Cai Jing's disciple, but when he was frightened, he couldn't care about anything and said without possession: "Yes."

With this sentence, Zhao Ji's face showed an unfathomable smile. His eyes flashed. This time, the censors who were among the censors at the Censorate: "Cai Tao is greedy for military pay, why don't the censors report the news? This is how you serve the grace of heaven?"

The tone was calm, as if it was narrating the common sense, but behind this indifference, there was murderous intent.

The censors stood up, all bowed their heads and dared not argue. What do you say? Could it be that this is customization, the old rules of ancestors, and people have a share? Who said this? I am afraid that the ministers in this palace will roll up their sleeves and fight with you. In addition, there are a lot of people among these people, including the three major officials in Beijing, and the filial piety of the officials in Quanzhou. Now that they are gone, the ice and charcoal piety of the officials are one, and the other is the blood of soldiers. These are all stable gold rice bowls. Although the pot is smashed, if you want to sell the brothers who are eating together, then wait for the death to break.

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said, "I am asking you what I am asking."

Zhao Ji's tone became colder, and he was obviously impatient.

Finally, a censor gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I am not ignorant of it, but the Grand Tutor in the current dynasty. We dare not impeach the memorial. Cai Tao has long been known for his corruption. The ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. I am dead. Please forgive me for your crime."

When talking about Cai Tao, it was necessary to pull Cai Jing. With the speech of the censor, Zhao Ji smiled faintly on his face, but this smile was hidden behind the pearl curtain and no one could see clearly.

Zhao Ji said lightly: "Get up." He easily let the censors go and continued: "What do you say here in the Ministry of War? You are working in the office with Cai Tao, can't you tell at all?"

Several ministers and chief clerks of the Ministry of War were shocked when they heard this and said, "Your Majesty, how can we not know? It's just that Cai Tao is arbitrarily. As an official, we dare not disobey."

In the past, everyone used to wipe Cai Jing's butt, but now they stand up one by one, using the Cai family's father and son as chamber pots, and pushing everything on them.

At this time, Zhao Ji's performance also made them a little bolder. Anyone who shirked the responsibility on the Cai family would raise it high and let it go gently. With this sweetness, no matter whether it was the new or old party, it suddenly realized that what Your Majesty was going to investigate was not corruption, but the target was the father and son of the Cai family. These old foxes had their own opinions and were already a little presumptuous. Who would have thought that Cai Jing would have today?

It was at this moment that a deafening voice surrounded the martial arts hall. Everyone looked at it, but it was Li Bangyan, the left chief of the Shangshu, who stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am obeying the rules and returning to the court. I am shocked to see the situation in the capital. I am loyal to the king and dare not hide my own personal affairs. Today..." He took a step forward in his bed and his figure became even more majestic, saying: "I am willing to advise Cai Jing for death and impeach Cai Jing to correct the country."

This sentence really caused an uproar. Shen Ao's eyes flashed and he looked at Li Bangyan coldly. As for the others, they all admired his courage. Although it was one-sided now, it was still unclear after all. At this time, it would have to have some courage to stand out from the fire and get the sir.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "The Grand Tutor is my humble minister. If you impeach Cai Jing, wouldn't you say I?"

Li Bangyan also smiled faintly and said, "If Your Majesty sees the crime, I have already repaid me. I beg Your Majesty to read the memorial first and then tell me about my crime." After that, he took out a memorial, which was a thick stack, arched high, waiting for the eunuch to come and pass it on.
