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

Lu Bu seemed to be a little worried, so he warned again: "Don't use it too much, it will be bad if something happens to your father."

Cai You nodded with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lu Bu hesitated to speak, but when he thought that this was his own father, he must have a sense of proportion, so he didn't continue to say more...

At the same time, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun also rushed towards Cai's mansion. While walking on the road, they heard that Cai Jing had resigned and became an official. The shock in their hearts was stronger than anyone else's, and they gave birth to a It really does feel like that.

It's just that the news was a bit sudden. I just heard Cai You's words, and now Cai Jing has retired, leaving the two of them with no time to prepare, and their hearts were extremely at a loss.

The hot sun was shining directly down, scorching the air on the street a little anxiously.

The two adults already saw fine sweat on their foreheads, and their bodies kept rising and falling with the sweltering heat of the car, and their moods gradually became irritable.

Gao Xun wanted to speak several times, but every time he saw Deng Xunwu's expression, he swallowed his words back.

At this moment, both of them were thinking about what Cai You said during the dinner just now, and they were a little groggy after drinking just now.

But then those who were startled were shocked, and now they are sweating again, and the alcohol in their belly has dissipated a lot with the smelly sweat. Now, thinking about what Cai You said just now, the more they think about it, the more reasonable it is.

After a moment of silence, Deng Xunwu suddenly slapped his thigh and roared in a low voice: "It must be during the test, after Xianmin and Lu Cai were dismissed!"

Gao Xun was taken aback by his sudden action, and was about to say something, but was stunned when he heard Deng Xunwu's words.

Deng Xunwu's face darkened slightly, and he continued: "It must be Mr. Cai who saw what happened to the two of them, plus he himself is only seventy-seven years old, that's why he thought of quitting."

"It is indeed possible that..."

Gao Xun was a little distracted, and murmured: "I still remember when the lord said that after so many years of ups and downs in the court, how many people can get out like the two of them?"

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious. It must be that after thinking about it, he has already begun to think about how to get himself out of the dangerous maelstrom of the imperial court and return to his hometown to enjoy his old age.

Deng Xunwu let out a long sigh, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face: "Since Mr. Cai has such thoughts, why didn't you explain it to me? Could it be that we have something to say?"

This statement is very bright, but the actual situation is far from the case.

Now the prosperity and wealth of the two of them are largely related to Cai Jing, and they have already been branded by Cai Jing.

If Cai Jing really resigned from office, they may not be wanted by others if they go to join them.

What's more, Qin Hui, Cai Jing's old rival, was really tricked by them this time. After he returns to Beijing, can he not take revenge?
At that time, without Cai Jing's protection, what should they do?
Thinking of this, Deng Xunwu felt a bit of fear again, accompanied by a burst of resentment.

If you always said that you wanted to become an official, then why are we bothering about it?
It should be noted that the two of them were actually not very happy to attract Jin soldiers into the customs at the beginning. If the situation really became chaotic and eventually led to a change of dynasty, Cai Jing's connections would definitely get along well in the new court. …

But the two of them are not as capable as Cai Jing, and there is a high probability that they will be entrusted under Cai Jing's wings in the future, and they may not be as comfortable as they are now.

When I think of this, there is a burst of regret and complaints in my heart.

But before Deng Xunwu could say anything, Gao Xun suddenly exclaimed, "I know! Zichang!"

"It was you and I who reported this matter to Mr. Cai at the time. Maybe he took into account the attitude of you and me, so he didn't refuse at that time..."

The further he went on, the quieter his voice became.

Deng Xunwu was also deep in thought, and Gao Xun's statement was not impossible. At that time, Cai Dang had just suffered such a big loss. If Cai Jing, the leader, had not done anything, then the hearts of the people would be scattered.

He has to make a difference and gather the hearts of the Cai party, so that he can have the capital to protect himself in front of Qin Hui and His Majesty the Emperor...

It's just that it's too late to figure it out now, and it doesn't help the situation at hand.

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun must find a way to deal with the current situation...

The bearers with dense drops of sweat on their foreheads quickened their pace, and the sedan chair inevitably became more bumpy, but the two masters in the sedan chair did not yell at them, which made the bearers feel a little lucky.

After turning a few streets, the huge Caifu gate wall is in sight.

Before and after the door, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun got off the sedan chair, looked at each other, and walked towards the depths of Cai's mansion together.

It's just that this time Cai Jing didn't receive them in the study, but asked his servant to lead the two of them all the way to a couch in Mingtang.

"grown ups!"

When they saw Cai Jing lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face a little pale, they were both shocked.

It was fine yesterday, why did it suddenly become like this today?

Cai Jing didn't respond, instead, the doctor who had been taking Cai Jing's pulse frowned and spoke.

"Has your lord had any noises in your abdomen in the past few months?"

Cai Jing didn't open his eyes, but just nodded.

Gao Xun and Deng Xunwu at the side also held their breath subconsciously, listening to their conversation quietly.

The old doctor continued to ask: "Is it more serious in the past few days, accompanied by chest dryness?"

Cai Jing just nodded again, and the old doctor lay down on his face and looked at him for a long time before he sighed.

"When the seasons change and summer comes, it is easy to be invaded by external heat, but you, my lord, are in your seventies, working day after day, and not resting properly, so your body will deteriorate day by day."

Speaking of this, the old man pondered for a moment, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes: "But it's not that the illness comes like a mountain..."

This disease has been stagnant for so long, and now there must be a fuse for the outbreak, which is to say, the last straw that overwhelms the camel's camel, otherwise how can a good person just get sick?
After Gao Xun and Deng Xunwu listened for a long time, they didn't know what they thought of at this moment, and a look of surprise flashed across their faces.

But the old doctor in front suddenly slapped his thigh, with a look of 'I figured it out'.

"It must be that Mr. Cai suddenly suffered a big change this morning, and under the shock of his mind, he couldn't afford to get sick!"

Deng and Gao, who were guarding the outside, were taken aback for a moment, and Cai Jing also opened his dull eyes and sighed. …

"Thank you Tang Langzhong."

"My lord, you are welcome."

Sensing Mr. Cai's intention of seeing off the guests, the old man got up and said: "Cao Min will prescribe some medicine for you when you go back. You only need to take the medicine on time and rest more. Don't worry about it anymore."

Immediately, Cai Tao, who was standing by the side, stepped forward and watched the old man walk out of the bright hall.

The other servants in the hall also packed up their things, and slowly exited here, leaving space for Cai Jing and the two adults.

Only then did Cai Jing turn his gaze to the direction of the door, with a wry smile on his face: "Zichang, Dingchen, are you here?"

Although he hadn't seen these two people in the imperial city just now, Cai Jing never suspected that they had betrayed him.

After all, what the two sides planned together was a fatal and head-destroying matter. Once it was leaked out, not only would Cai Jing not be able to escape, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun would be even more difficult to survive.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the two of them were entangled in things and did not leave... Or, they were deliberately held back.

It's just that Cai Jing didn't ask the whereabouts of the two of them on the spot at the moment, because if he asked such a question when he first arrived, it would be easy to be mistaken for coercion and accountability...

"grown ups."

With tears in his eyes, Deng Xunwu walked quickly to the bedside, and took Cai Jing's hand: "My lord, you...why...how can you be so sick after not seeing you for a day?"

Gao Xun also walked over quickly, his face couldn't hide his grief, and he even choked up.

When Cai Jing saw the two of them like this, he didn't know whether he was empathized with, the sadness in his heart was aroused, or he was acting on the occasion, but he also shed a few tears.

But he didn't continue to act like a child. Instead, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve and tried to sit up.

Seeing this, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun hurriedly helped him up.

Cai Jing let out a long sigh when he sat down securely: "Zichang, Dingchen, this morning, I submitted my resignation letter to His Majesty. Now I am no longer the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, nor the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment."

After saying this, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and laughed at himself: "Look, even the doctors in the capital know about this."

These words obviously refer to the old doctor just now.

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun didn't care about the boss's self-deprecation, or they didn't care about these useless emotions right now, they only cared about why Cai Jing had to submit his resignation silently!
Even if you have long wanted to retreat, you can't just put it into action without saying a word, right?

"My lord, that's fine. Why did you think of submitting your resignation?"

Deng Xunwu asked with a puzzled face: "Even if you want to resign and return to your hometown, there is no need to be so eager, right?"

We are still doing big things together!Did you forget it?

Cai Jing looked at the unconcealable eagerness on the faces of the two of them, and sighed slightly in his heart, but said helplessly on his face: "Do you think this is what the old man wants?"

"If the old man has the intention of returning to his hometown like this, how could he not tell you?"

Deng and Gao slandered for a while, saying that you have been talking about it for several years, and you never thought of telling us!

But Cai Jing didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and still sighed helplessly: "If this old man submitted his resignation on a whim, how could this resignation be passed on to His Majesty, Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng so quickly? pass?"…

Both of them were somewhat indecisive. If they were to sit in the middle school and under the door, if they saw Cai Jing's old man's resignation letter, I am afraid that there would be no delay, and they would approve it directly.

But since Cai Jing said so at this time, there must be a reason. Gao Xun paused for a moment, and followed Cai Jing's meaning, then said: "My lord, you mean...this is your majesty, Zhongshu and the sect's intention to target you?"

Cai Jing nodded with a serious expression: "Of course I don't want to be an official, but I fell into this conspiracy they prepared for this old man."

"This……"

The other two have grown their mouths. This is completely different from what they heard from Cai You!

However, coercing and forcing an official to take up his post is not a new method in Dagan. Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun have done it more than once.

But the problem is that under the current situation, who can force Cai Jing to become an official?

"My lord, could it be that His Majesty used some bad manners?"

Gao Xun couldn't help asking. When he said this, he had already imagined the situation in his mind. Dozens of knives and axes were lying in ambush behind the screen, only waiting for the emperor's order to rush out and kill Cai. The adults chopped it into meat sauce with knives.

And in the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was smiling proudly, and there was an eunuch pressing Lord Cai's head forcibly, making him write a humiliating resignation...

Cai Jing didn't notice the expression on Gao Xun's face, he was also immersed in that memory, with a bit of hesitation on his face.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It's the old man's younger brother."

"He wrote a memorial to His Majesty to impeach the old man."

"Mr. Yuandu?"

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun were even more surprised than Cai Jing, and they all had expressions of disbelief.

Cai Jing nodded silently, with a bit of pain on his face, he seemed to have recovered from the pain after a long time, and said: "My brother, my brother, has been not good at speech since he was a child, but only me Brother knows that he is actually very sensitive in his heart, and he also cares about other people's words and deeds, but he will keep everything in his heart."

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun glanced at each other. Cai Bian in their impression was indeed a quiet person. He had worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment for so long before, and he had only spoken to them apart from his official duties.

Cai Jing seemed to be in pain even to breathe, and he had to slow down for a while when he said a few words, and now he continued to say sadly: "He has suffered a lot of grievances since he was a child, but Yuan Du never complained to outsiders, but only the old man knows that he has already Sorrow has become a knot in my heart, and I suffer silently by myself."

"The old man loves him very much, and tried to enlighten him several times, but all failed."

Speaking of this, Cai Jing's words were already a bit choked up: "But this old man never thought that he would also have a heart knot with this old man!"

"What happened to the monkey that year was not done by the old man, but he remembered it on me. There are even some people with ulterior motives in the government and the public deliberately rumoring that even his demotion was done secretly by the old man, and he has been suppressing him. Let him be reinstated and promoted."

Cai Jing's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down his old face: "But why is this old man treating his younger brother like this?"

Seeing this, Gao Xun hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Master Cai's back to help him calm down. Deng Xunwu also shed a few tears of emotion: "My lord, there must be some misunderstanding..."

"There is no misunderstanding."

Cai Jing wiped away his tears, took a few breaths and calmed down his emotions: "In the memorandum he wrote to His Majesty, he revealed all the shortcomings of the old man, and attributed all the previous turmoil in the court to the old man and the immortals. , Lu Cai, and you two."

what?
Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun's eyes widened, they didn't expect that they were also in the queue for impeachment!
