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

Chapter 290 Showdown, Living Hua Tuo and Li Gan

It's a plan, but it's actually not complicated.

At this time, the more precise and convoluted something is, the lower its error tolerance rate will be.

So Li Qian's method is also very straightforward, which is to directly force Cai Jing to submit.

Of course, although this plan is straightforward, it is not simple. The capital to make Cai Jing submit lies in Li Qian's previous efforts...

This morning, Cai Jing, who had just arrived at the Shangshu Provincial Yamen, ran into He Shen who also just came at the door.

"And my lord."

Cai Jing greeted him with a smile.

"Master Cai."

He Shen also replied with a smile.

Although the two are colleagues, their relationship on weekdays is very ordinary, even if they bump into each other, there is nothing to talk about.

What's more, now that Cai Jing already has a complete plan, as long as the plan is successfully implemented, not only Qin Hui, but even Yan Song, He Shen, etc. will not be able to escape.

But now this plan is steadily advancing, so Cai Jing's eyes on He Shen are not the same as before.

It's just a dead bone in the tomb.

But coincidentally, He Shen also knew of such a plan.

Although he still doesn't know the specific content of the plan, he knows that Cai Jing's downfall happened in the past few days.

Just like that, a fatter skeleton and a smellier old loach looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of superiority in controlling each other's fate in their eyes, and the two passed by.

But not long after the two of them entered the yamen, an eunuch dressed in red came to the door.

"Where is Master Cai?"

Facing the little official at the door, the eunuch followed him all the way to Cai Jing's room with a businesslike appearance.

"Lord Cai, Your Majesty has called you to Ziwei Hall."

When he came in front of Cai Jing, his tone was more respectful.

Cai Jing, who was in the room on duty, was obviously taken aback. If his relationship with He Shen was very ordinary, then his relationship with His Majesty the Emperor could be described as poor.

Under normal circumstances, His Majesty would like to find people like Qin Hui, Yan Song, and He Shen. In addition, even if he directly contacted the ministers and ministers below, he would not find Cai Jing.

But today she took the initiative to summon him, this was really the first time a big girl got on a sedan chair.

Cai Jing subconsciously suspected His Majesty's intentions. Could there be some conspiracy?
He went through the recent discussions with Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun again, and found that there were no mistakes or flaws, so he was a little relieved.

"This father-in-law, did His Majesty say anything?"

Cai Jing had a smile on his face, trying to find out something from the eunuch.

But the eunuch was also very embarrassed: "Lord Cai, I don't know either."

"The words that summoned you were brought by the ancestors from the Ziwei Hall, and I have never seen His Majesty's face."

Cai Jing's expression froze, but then he sighed unobtrusively.

Forget it, no matter what it is, soldiers can come to block it, water can come to cover it, and there is no need to worry too much...

The news of Cai Jing's departure from Shangshu Yamen soon reached He Shen's ears, but he was taken aback, wondering if His Majesty the Emperor had just started to act?

Is this too fast?
He Shen's heart was tense, but he had already walked out of the Shangshu Yamen and rushed towards the direction of the official department.

We must prepare in advance.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if His Majesty misses, then Cai Jing will definitely counterattack. Wouldn't the countermeasures made in advance come in handy?
Besides, even if His Majesty didn't fail, and really took care of Cai Jing, wouldn't it take a lot of effort to deal with his huge number of followers?

The more you prepare in advance at this time, the faster and better you can share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor.

As for some of the benefits obtained during the process of sharing worries... that is incidental, not proactive.

So preparing this kind of thing in advance has only advantages and no disadvantages.

On the other side, Cai Jing also came all the way to Ziwei Hall under the guidance of the eunuch.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that the atmosphere outside the hall is inexplicably different today, and there is a faint seriousness in the air.

Cai Jing's heart sank slightly, but he didn't feel anything, and walked towards Ziwei Hall with big strides.

The eunuch who led the way did not take him to the Zhengshitang, but to a relatively remote room that was relatively unfamiliar to Cai Jing.

The light in the room is not bright, and the visitors inside are all heavy wooden utensils, such as nanmu, sandalwood... The interior is a little darker against the background.

When Cai Jing stepped into the room, a unique fragrance of wood came over his face, which lifted people's minds.

He raised his head and looked forward, first he saw the old eunuch standing at the top, wearing a black stand-up collar, and then sitting even higher, wearing a dark blue moiré coat with a blank expression on his face His Majesty the Emperor.

Normally, His Majesty would at least have a smile on his face, how could it be like this today?
Cai Jing felt more and more in his heart that today must be a bad day.

He was looking at Li Gan, and Li Gan was also taking this opportunity to look at Cai Jing, the culprit who had brought great disturbance and disaster to Daqian.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and it was Cai Jing who lowered his head first: "I see Your Majesty."

Li Qian didn't respond to him immediately, and after a quarter of an hour, he sighed deeply, with indescribably complicated feelings.

"Cai Qing's house, sit down first."

The old eunuch took a soft stool from the side and walked towards Cai Jing slowly, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.

In fact, not only Li Gan was preparing, but court officials such as He Shen and Yan Song were preparing, and the palace also had to prepare for such a big event.

Among other things, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor alone is a top priority.

What if Cai Jing, after hearing the news, became angry from the heart, turned evil to the guts, and took risks, threatening the safety of His Majesty's dragon body?
Although judging by his figure and age, he didn't seem to be capable, but he was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

The old eunuch even imagined that this guy was carrying lethal weapons such as sleeve arrows and crossbows with him, and asked him to be searched at the gate of the hall, otherwise he would not be allowed in.

Such nonsense was naturally rejected by Li Gan.

A body search will definitely arouse Cai Jing's vigilance, and when the time comes, people will not enter, wouldn't it be better to just run away?It was Li Gan who asked him to come here, not Cai Jing who came to see Li Gan.

One plan failed, the old eunuch hadn't given up yet, and came up with the second method to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

He dug out two pieces of golden silk soft armor from the warehouse of the palace, and insisted on asking His Majesty the Emperor to wear them to avoid any accidents.

But in such a hot day, Li Qian certainly didn't want to touch such a thick and heavy thing, let alone put two pieces together at once.

Besides, the officials on duty in the imperial city, who is free to carry sleeve arrows and crossbows with them?Isn't there something wrong with that?

You don’t need to take it once in ten years, but as long as you are negligent once, and you are discovered by your colleagues, eunuchs, or the guards on duty... then you are finished.

If Li Gan didn't wear it, the old eunuch naturally didn't dare to force His Majesty to put it on. He could only wear it on himself, saying that if there was any accident, he could stand in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the process of walking towards Cai Jing, the old eunuch took every step with vigilance.

It's just that Cai Jing didn't make any drastic moves until he put down the soft stool, but sat down slowly while rubbing his tingling old legs.

After Li Gan looked at him for a while, he didn't continue talking about anything else, but went straight to the point.

"These are the two memorials that I received just now. Cai Qing's family may wish to have a look first." Li Gan pushed the memorials on the table forward.

Cai Jing's complexion became a bit dignified before he knew it: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He seemed to have noticed that His Majesty's move should be in these two memorials.

The old eunuch had already taken the memorial from the table, stepped forward and handed it to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing had already made complete psychological preparations. He thought that he had been in the court for so many years and had seen too many ups and downs.

No matter how unexpected the tricks of the mere little emperor are, they are mediocre. As long as they are treated with caution and not careless, there will be no problems at all.

This is also the reason why he has been able to remain calm so far no matter how abnormal the external conditions are.

But when Cai Jing took the memorial, before he had time to open it, he saw the name of the memorial, his eyes went dark, his figure swayed, and he almost passed out.

Seeing this situation, the eyes of the old eunuch and Li Gan on the side suddenly became tense.

In fact, Li Gan is not worried about his own safety, he is most worried about Cai Jing's safety.

It's okay for this old man to have an accident, but he can't have an accident on his own, otherwise Li Gan won't be able to clear up his responsibility.

Before summoning Cai Jing, Li Qian had repeatedly told the old eunuch that he must guard against Cai Jing's rogue method of pretending to faint on the spot.

Moreover, Li Qian put a memorial that he accepted more highly on it, and put the memorial that he could not accept at the bottom...

Naturally, Cai Jing didn't know that His Majesty cared for him so much, and now he was dumbfounded by thinking so for him. The reason was the title on the cover of the memorial in his hand.

"Cai Bian, the right servant of the Ministry of rites, impeached the minister, and the left servant shot Cai Jing's crimes"

Li Gan said indifferently from above: "Cai Qing's family, these two memorials have not gone to the Ministry of Education. The Secretary of the General Administration did not copy them after seeing them, and sent them directly to me."

Cai Jing's pale lips parted, and he raised his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor above.

Li Gan also couldn't tell what kind of complex expression this was, and he didn't know if it was a faux pas or if it was sincere, but it was indeed the first time he saw Cai Jing like this.

Li Gan saw that Cai Jing was going to open the memorial to take a look, but he hesitated several times, but he still couldn't open it.

Instead, he moved the memorial above and looked at the one below.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, Cai Jing is dumbfounded, and stays where he is.

The title of this second memorial is "Cai You, Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Impeaching Shangshu Zuo Pu and Shooting Cai Jing's Illegal Affairs".

It is not unheard of for the younger brother to impeach the older brother, but it is probably the first time for the son to impeach the father in this dynasty.

If this memorial is really released, I am afraid it will create two records at once.

One is the son impeaching his own father, and the other is impeaching the court officials from the first rank from the sesame seed official of the ninth rank. The topicality of it may detonate the capital in an instant.

Cai Jing stared at the memorial, his lips were trembling, and the hand holding the memorial was also trembling.

Looking at his appearance, Li Gan also had some guesses in his heart. If Cai Jing still had some room to accept the previous memorial, then this memorial was completely unexpected by Cai Jing.

"Lord Cai? Master Cai?"

As he was thinking about it, the old eunuch suddenly heard an exclamation in front of him.

Li Qian hurriedly raised his head and looked forward, only to find that Cai Jing had rolled his eyes and fell headlong to the ground.

If the old eunuch hadn't supported him with quick eyesight and quick hands, Mr. Cai might have suffered a severe fall.

'Sure enough, it came out like this...'

Li Gan looked at the scene in front of him with some headaches.

Regardless of whether Cai Jing's dizziness is real or fake, this is a shameless act.

Knowing the titles of the two memorials, Cai Jing must have wanted to go back and deal with the beginning and the end immediately.

But Li Gan called him here today, and the purpose of letting him read these two memorials was to make him unable to go back...or to make him go back completely.

Of course, it is impossible to let him go so easily now, allowing him to gain precious breathing time.

Since he seized the opportunity to attack, he was going to be killed at once. How could he have a chance to counterattack?

But Cai Jing's way of dealing with fainting, a simple and honest person really can't deal with it.

Send him back... definitely not.

But if you don't send him back, there is really no other way, you will never wake up a person who pretends to be dizzy.

Cai Jing couldn't afford to faint like this. He could stay in a faint until the palace gate was locked at night. By then, His Majesty the Emperor might have no reason to keep him and could only send him out.

But since Li Qian had called him here today, he had naturally made adequate plans.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Cai is so anxious that he has already fainted!" The old eunuch's voice was a little anxious.

"How could this be?"

Li Gan was also shocked, and stood up abruptly: "Quickly pass on to the imperial physician!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch was about to go out in response, but was stopped by His Majesty the Emperor when he walked halfway.

"Wait a minute..."

Several hesitations suddenly appeared on Li Gan's face: "A while ago, Li Sima fell ill, and now Cai Qing's family fell ill. This matter is really too important."

"You then send people to the imperial city to pass on the officials of the third rank and above, and let them all come over to discuss this matter."

The old eunuch hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he continued to run outside.

But this time, within two steps, there was a groan on the ground.

Immediately, Cai Jing opened his eyes in a daze, and scratched a few times with his hands, as if he had just got out of a coma, and his mind was still a little unconscious.

"Cai Qing's family is awake?"

Li Gan called to stop the old eunuch in surprise again.

At this moment, the old eunuch looked at His Majesty the Emperor with only admiration, saying that His Majesty is simply Hua Tuo who is still alive... No, Hua Tuo is not such a god, no need to look, hear, ask, or administer medicine, just a word can wake up a person comatose old man...

Cai Jing's eyes gradually regained focus, and the first thing he did was to kneel on the ground.
