Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Li Qian didn't say much anymore, just looked at him like this.

Although he knew that Cai Bian and Cai Jing were at odds for a long time, but Cai Bian's performance in the Ministry of Punishment made Li Gan a little more worried, and then he had this temptation.

Just now, Cai Bian's performance was not bad, and it also made Li Gan understand why he was entangled, so Li Gan told him the following.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Cai Bian's lips trembled slightly, as if he never thought that such a heinous thing would happen to him, and that it was done by his own brother Cai Jing.

"The guilty minister is willing to resign and send to Dingyong Pass as a side army to fight against the Jinlu..."

His face was extremely painful, and he knelt on the ground, but his tone was more sorrowful... and relief.

Outsiders have no way of knowing the pain and entanglements of so many years. On the one hand, it is the words of the saints that have been deeply rooted in the heart from elementary school to adulthood, and on the other hand, it is Cai Jing's numerous evil deeds.

But no matter how much entanglement there was, it was broken by the news from Li Qian's mouth at this moment.

For treason and collaborating with the enemy, Cai Jing's end is almost doomed, no matter how much he struggles, it's useless.

For this result, Cai Bian didn't know whether to feel happy or sad for Cai Jing.

But no matter what, his desperate thoughts over the past few years, the painful lingering in countless late nights... all disappeared.

At this moment, Cai Bian seemed as if his long-cherished wish had finally come true, and his heart suddenly became empty. Even if he was sent to the army now, it would be fine to die in battle.

It's time to clear up Cai Jing's crimes a little bit.

Looking at his appearance from above, Li Gan also sighed softly.

According to common sense, it would not be surprising for a crime like Cai Jing to be punished with murder.

And even if immediate family members like Cai Bian escaped by shit luck, this official will definitely not be able to continue.

It is always good for him to have this kind of atonement, but he still missed the crux of the problem.

But this is not a big problem, as long as he has an attitude, everything behind can be done slowly.

Cai Bian is an extremely important part of this plan, and Li Gan must have enough patience.

"Don't worry, Cai Qing's family, sit down and talk."

Li Qian went back to the top and sat down, staring at Cai Bian for a moment: "Actually, I have noticed you since Yuji."

Cai Bian trembled slightly, but he still listened to Li Gan's words, got up and sat back on the chair.

"When I first got to know you, I was very curious. You are the younger brother of the dignified minister Shu Pushe, how could you condescend to be an official in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Later, after I got to know you better, I realized that you are a loyal person with noble morals."

Li Gan stared at him, and slowly said: "So, I first promoted you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then you became the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Only then did Cai Bian raise his head, his face was full of astonishment.

He knew that his promotion to the Minister of Rites must have the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, after all, it was he who decided the result of the court.

But Cai Bian knew for the first time that even the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment was ordered by him.

But thinking about it, it seems normal. When the first emperor was in power, he had been the official of Jingzhao Tui for so many years. Now, less than a year after His Majesty took the throne, he has been promoted twice in a row and returned to the position of minister of the third rank. . …

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no emperor's inscription.

"During this period, I have always placed high hopes on you."

Li Qian's tone became heavy: "I feel that since you are Cai Jing's younger brother, you should be as hardworking and talented as him, but I didn't expect that I was wrong about Cai Jing."

"Your brother is a man of talent, but he has used that talent elsewhere."

"I am willing to pay the price for Cai Jing..." Cai Bian bowed his head in guilt and pain.

The guilt is that he has failed His Majesty's expectations, and the pain is that he knows that even if he is indeed sent to the army and died in battle, he may not be able to make up for the crimes committed by Cai Jing.

"I said, don't worry."

Li Gan waved his hand: "I sent you here today, not to condemn you."

"Cai Jing is Cai Jing, you are you, and you have said it just now, you and Cai Jing have not been in touch for a long time, I will not attribute the wrong things he did to you."

"I've already misjudged Cai Jing once, and I don't want it to happen to you a second time."

"His Majesty……"

Cai Bian raised his head in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.

His Majesty's words clearly meant that he would continue to be used, but this...is it possible?

He is Cai Jing's younger brother, how could he not be implicated by Cai Jing?
Li Qian didn't care about Cai Bian's psychological activities, and continued: "Cai Jing is now in a frenzy. According to the information I received, he plans to further influence Jizhou and interfere with Qin's defense against the Jin captives."

"If he is really allowed to do this, I am afraid that the general will have no more soldiers to fight, and can only sit back and watch the golden soldiers drive straight in, causing disasters to the people of the Central Plains."

"Cai Jing..."

Cai Bian couldn't think of any words other than shock: "He is so mad..."

As Cai Jing's younger brother, he thought he knew Cai Jing well enough, but at this moment he still felt a strong sense of strangeness and disgust towards him.

If his plot is allowed to succeed again, how many soldiers will die in vain?
Without these frontier troops guarding the frontier and allowing foreigners to drive straight in, how many counties and counties would suffer?How many people will be ravaged?

Cai Bian's heart was full of emotions, and his eyes were slightly blurred, as if he could vaguely see the painful struggle of those who died tragically.

After a long time, he gradually came to his senses.

At this time, Cai Bian finally understood that His Majesty the Emperor still wanted him to stay in the court, and he must use the brotherhood of the two of them to eradicate Cai Jing.

But Cai Bian didn't think it was a big deal.

He once studied Buddhism with Jing Zhaoyin Wang Jin. The Buddhist scriptures talk about eliminating karma, and the sins and karma committed by this body can only be eliminated by reciting the Buddhist scriptures over and over again.

But this is different from Cai Bian's philosophy.

He has always felt that Buddha is Buddha, and people are people. People have made mistakes. If only chanting a few lines of Buddha can dispel the sins and reduce the guilt in his heart, that would be too cheap.

As the sage said, "Repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with kindness", if you make a mistake, you must atone for it in some way.

Just like before, he thought of serving as an army and fighting to the death on the frontier, trying to offset the crimes committed by Cai Jing. …

But Cai Bian also understood that his life alone was nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were framed and killed by Cai Jing.

It's just that just now he always thought that he was about to be dismissed from office, so he said those words, but since Li Gan gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds, he must seize it.

Getting rid of Cai Jing and keeping the hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting in Jizhou will eventually ease the guilt in my heart...

"Your Majesty, I would like to monitor Cai Jing in secret, inquire into the internal news of Cai's party, and help His Majesty remove these thieves, so as to comfort the souls of hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers."

There was anger and hatred on Cai Bian's face, as if whenever he thought of those people, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "Cai Jing definitely didn't plan this matter, and the rest of the Cai Party are also accomplices."

"Your Majesty, please don't let a guilty person go!"

Speaking of this, his expression darkened a bit: "Your Majesty, I am also a guilty person. I know that Cai Jing has committed many crimes before, but because he is my elder brother, I have been conniving and not exposing him."

"The minister is also responsible for causing such a big mistake now."

Now that he is about to be free, he has nothing else to ask for, only two obsessions, one is to let those people in Cai Jing and Cai Dang get their due retribution.

The second is to repay His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness. At least in this critical time, His Majesty is still willing to trust him.

Li Ganwei nodded incredulously. One of the purposes of his laying out so much just now was to learn about Cai Jing's pain points and weaknesses from Cai Bian.

"Whether you are guilty or not, I know in my heart, and other people in the Cai party will also have their liquidation."

Li Gan shook his head: "I don't need you to monitor Cai Jing and inquire about news. You were so alienated from them before and had almost no contact with them, but now you come to them at this critical moment. It is inevitable that you will not be suspected by them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Everything will be as usual after you go back, don't show any strangeness."

Li Qian warned: "In addition, we must write down the illegal things that Cai Jing has done, and I will send someone to fetch them. I will see you again in a few days, and then we will discuss the follow-up matters."

"The time for discussion today should not be too long, so as not to be suspicious by Cai Jing."

Cai Bian paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's orders."

Li Qian also nodded when he heard the words, but just this is not enough.

It was undoubtedly a great risk for him to tell Cai Bian about this matter, so he could not just rely on Cai Bian's conscience, he had to add a layer of insurance.

"I came to you today to deal with Cai Jing, and there is another matter."

Li Gan paused for a moment, then said again: "Cai Shilang, if I remember correctly, your father-in-law should be the former servant She Banshan?"

Cai Bian was taken aback, as if he didn't expect to be asked this question suddenly before.

"Is the old man still in good health now?"

"In good health."

Cai Bian replied subconsciously: "On New Year's Day, I also received a reply letter from Master Taishan, saying that everything is fine."

Li Gan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Now that the government is exhausted, I realize how important these bosses are."

"His Majesty……"…

Cai Bian seemed to have sensed something, and his tone was a little trembling.

But Li Gan didn't continue talking to him, nor did he make any promises.

"I just sent it out of feeling today, and suddenly wanted to ask."

Li Gan leaned on the chair, and after talking so much, his face was a bit tired: "I'm a little tired, Cai Qing's house, go to the side to find Uncle Da Zong, after he finishes speaking, you can leave on your own." Just go."

A follow-up book recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

Cai Bian didn't get the answer he wanted, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he got up and walked to the side.

Coming here, Sima Guang greeted him with somewhat complicated eyes.

"Cai Shilang finished speaking with His Majesty?"

Wang Mang looked at him with a smile: "In that case, let's go."

Cai Bian took a deep breath, bowed his hands and saluted, "Yes, Uncle Da Zong."

In the next few days, Cai Bian proved with his actions that he really wanted to bring down Cai Jing.

Li Gan has received several times from him about Cai Jing's criminal evidence, and almost every one of them is densely written, and some of them are either very hateful or ridiculous. Every time he reads it, Li Gan feels extremely complicated.

There are also many dark affairs...many dark affairs that outsiders will never know.

This can't help but make him feel that only the closest people around him are the most powerful when they betray.

But even though there are so many evidences of Cai Jing's crimes, Li Qian will not reveal them by himself.

When he said it, others might not believe it, and would doubt the source of the information.

Cai Jing's party members and disciples in various counties and counties will also be very resistant. They will feel that their Cai Party has been attacked, and subconsciously want to fight back.Cai Jing's friends and contacts in the vassal states may also help him.

But if Cai Bian, Cai Jing's younger brother, took it out, the effect would definitely be different!

If it is one step closer, Cai You, the eldest son of Cai Jing who has high hopes, will take it out... that will achieve unimaginable results.

If someone wants to tear down a beautiful palace, the people who live in it and nearby will go back to stop him, but if the palace itself has been riddled with moths and collapsed on its own, who is willing to help the palace? ?Who can help up?
Li Gan's other successor is Cai You, but his uncertainty is even greater than that of Cai Bian.

In Li Qian's previous life, the reason Cai You was able to fall out with his own father was because his wings were stiff and he could get along well without Cai Jing.

At that time, Cai You was granted Jinshi background by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, entered Zhilongtu Pavilion, served as a bachelor, and edited various classics. His status was not inferior to that of Cai Jing. The situation at that time.

But it's different now, Cai You doesn't have the confidence at all, and now he is just a small secretary in the Department of Military Affairs... From the ninth rank, it is slightly better than not entering the stream.

This was Cai Jing who sent him up through some channels a while ago.

It stands to reason that it is unlikely that he dared to backstab Cai Jing under such circumstances.

It's just that since Li Qian thought of his line, he naturally has some confidence.

Dagan is not the Song Dynasty, no matter the current situation, or the information obtained by Li Gan's previous preparation work is also different, plus Cai Bian's actions...

It seems that it is not difficult for Cai You to "surrender" successfully.

According to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, the process of "persuading" Cai You is mainly divided into two parts.

Half of it is en... In Li Qian's view, it is almost a painting cake, and it is the kind of cake that is relatively rough and directly fed to Mr. Cai.

The other half is Wei. When Cai Bian learned some truths, he also made him feel threatened... Of course, the main method is the second half.

"Mr. Kong Ming, don't lose your temper for a while, don't be caught by him!"

In the carriage, Lu Bu straightened his clothes, giving his last instructions in a muffled voice.

According to His Majesty's plan, as long as Cai You is dealt with next, Cai Jing's death will be imminent.
