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

Cai Jing took a deep breath, seeming to suppress the sadness in his heart, and then continued: "At that time, the memorial was in the hands of His Majesty, but fortunately, it had not been sent to the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. Naturally, the old man could not just sit back and watch this memorial be sent."

Both Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun were dry-mouthed and looked horrified, they also knew that such a memorial could not be allowed to go on, it would be a big deal!

Cai Bian is Cai Jing's younger brother, not to mention that he stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a while, who knows how many secrets he has heard about the Cai party?

If he shakes it all out, can the Cai party still have a place in the court?

"At that time, the old man had no choice but to take a step back and offered to become an official in exchange for His Majesty's keeping the memorial."

Cai Jing sighed, raised his head to look at them, and said helplessly, "This old man is already nearly seventy years old, and if he continues like this, he won't be able to stay in court for a few more years..."

"Now that such a big incident has happened, why don't you let go of the old man first and keep the two of you, so that the green hills will remain, and you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

If these words were common just now, they were nothing more than an ordinary, slightly cryptic expression of kindness.

But now that Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun heard it, they felt something different.

Cai You said before that Cai Jing had long had the idea of ​​planning his own old age, and according to the speculation of the two of them, his idea became more intense a while ago.

Combined with Cai Jing's words just now...

The two inevitably had some inexplicable associations.

It's just that the content of the communication between Cai Jing and His Majesty the Emperor didn't spread at all. Even the fact that Cai Bian wrote the bullet came from Cai Jing, and they had no way to verify it.

"My lord, why bother to do this for the sake of the lower officials?"

Deng Xunwu's eyes were filled with tears of emotion: "The combination of the two lower officials is not as good as the master's case!"

Gao Xun also nodded vigorously, his face was also full of emotion.

Cai Jing looked at the appearance of the two of them, and sighed quietly: "You don't need to do this."

"If the old man doesn't do anything, not only will he not be able to keep the two of you, but he will also end up in an embarrassing end. That's why he made such a decision at that time."

"Now the old man has no official position in the court, but with the two of you here, the old man still has a chance to recover."

In the usual way, this kind of candid words can also bring a lot of good feelings, but now the seeds of doubt have grown in Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun's hearts, and they have begun to germinate...they don't think so.

"Don't worry, my lord, even if the officials and officials don't spare their lives, they will definitely let you recover!"

Deng Xunwu's voice was firm, without any hesitation, and Gao Xun on the other side hastily followed suit.

Cai Jing didn't doubt this at all, and with a bit of relief on his face, he persuaded the two of them: "There is no need to be too anxious."

"The old man has just started working, and you are busy trying to get me back. This matter is too ostentatious. You can postpone it for a while, and start to deal with it after the wind has passed. Besides..."

Cai Jing continued to chatter, but neither Deng Xunwu nor Gao Xun paid attention to his words, but fell into a daze.

If you combine Cai Bian's words during the banquet before, look at Cai Jing's expression, and listen to what he said from beginning to end, then you can understand another layer of meaning. …

Could it be that this is a play directed and acted by Mr. Cai in order to secure his official career?

Did Mr. Cai hide something from them?

First of all, no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor said to him, and no one knows whether Cai Bian's bullet actually exists.

What if Cai Jing asked him to write it?My elder brother wants to wash his hands in a golden basin and get out of this maelstrom. My younger brother should be willing to help, right?
It may also be an excuse to say that he sacrificed himself to save the two of them.

And later when Cai Jing said that he was going to be an official, the relief on his face did not escape the eyes of the two of them.

Why don't you rush him back, wait for the wind to pass...

When will the wind be over?Even if you can recover your old man by then, how long can you continue to work?
The two of them had a thousand turns in their hearts, and they didn't know what to think about the complicated ones.

Cai Jing talked on the couch for a long time, but did not get any decent response, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit more dissatisfied.

If he ended the topic he was talking about without a trace, he cleared his throat and said, "You didn't seem to come from the imperial city just now?"

After handing over the written resignation to the old eunuch, Cai Jing went to the Ministry of Punishment.

His original intention was to quickly find Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun, and then see if there was any chance of recovery.

But the latter two were not in the Ministry of Punishment at all, and they were not even in the imperial city at all. This completely bankrupted Cai Jing's plan.

Just now, in order to take care of the emotions of these two people, Cai Jing didn't ask to embarrass them.

After all, the dignified servant was not on duty when he was supposed to be on duty, so being dismissed by the censor was asking for trouble.

But now that Cai Jing was clearly speaking, these two dared to be absent-minded!
You must know that the boss who just became an official is at the most sensitive psychological time. Just yesterday, when he was talking, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun had to listen respectfully, for fear of missing anything.

But now that he has only been in office for a few hours, these two people have started to lose their minds, as if they don't care much about him, how can Cai Jing bear it?

He was like this when he was in the capital. If Cai Jing really returned to his hometown and it would be inconvenient to communicate then, how could these two people do their best to help him recover?
To put it bluntly, will these two still remember him, Cai Jing?
The two seemed to hear the dissatisfaction in Cai Jing's tone, and Gao Xun hurriedly explained: "My lord, it's not that the officials and Mr. Deng left their posts without authorization, but because the eldest son invited them to go."

"Who?"

Unexpectedly, Cai Jing sat up straight, became agitated all of a sudden, his voice was octave higher, and a flush appeared on his face after roaring, and he coughed persistently.

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun looked at each other, and they both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"My lord, who else can the eldest son have?"

Gao Xun couldn't help but said: "Isn't it only Mr. Ju An?"

Could it be that you still have another eldest son?
"It turned out to be the reverse..."

In the middle of Cai Jing's speech, he stopped abruptly and continued to cough. …

This time it wasn't that his throat was uncomfortable, but that he wanted to hide it.

It is true that Cai Jing did conceal something from Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun about the bullets, but he told the fact that Cai Bian impeached him, but did not mention the bullets written by Cai You.

The reason is that he also has his own selfishness. After all, what Cai Bian wrote in the memorandum is almost all the official affairs of the court, and these things are almost done by the entire Cai party. Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun know about it, so it’s okay to tell them.

But the contents of Cai You's memorandum are more taboo, and what is targeted and attacked is Cai Jing's personal virtue, which is also a part that outsiders cannot know.

As a boss, Cai Jing certainly didn't want his two subordinates, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun, to know that he still had such a side. He didn't want to lose his dignity and prestige in front of his subordinates, otherwise it would be even more difficult to control them in the future.

Moreover, Cai Jing and Cai Bian had been at odds for a long time, and now that Cai Bian wrote a memorial to stab him in the back, it seems that it is not unacceptable.

But if even the son he raised since he was a child backstabs Cai Jing, wouldn't it appear that he is too incompetent and a failure in life?
Call ~
After calming down, Cai Jing let out a long breath, frowned and asked, "Where is he now?"

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun didn't think about impeachment, who would write a memorial to impeach their own father?That was too bizarre, too fantastical.

The two just thought that Cai You made Cai Jing angry again last night or this morning.

"My lord, it's in Huabao Building."

Gao Xun hastily explained: "Just now when the official and Mr. Deng left, the eldest son said he would continue to eat for a while."

He sold Cai You without any psychological burden. After all, in Gao Xun's view, what is the conflict between father and son?

The sooner you clarify and explain clearly, the sooner you can get back together.

"Come on!"

Cai Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and yelled outside.

Cai Tao trotted in hastily: "Father, what are your orders?"

"Go to Huabao Building!"

Cai Jing clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Bring back your elder brother's son!"

Cai Tao was a little stunned at first, but after recovering, she hastily lowered her head and responded: "Yes, father."

After speaking, he immediately got up, turned his head and walked out.

Cai Jing didn't even pay attention to whether he wanted to continue talking.

Cai Jing opened his mouth and looked at his back, a look of astonishment and sullenness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't attack after all.

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun stood aside, silent. Although they were more optimistic about Cai You, this kind of family affairs in Cai Jing was still a matter of rivalry between brothers, and they always did not get involved if they could.

And Cai Jing didn't seem to want to talk too much about this matter. Seeing that Cai Tao had completely walked away, he turned his head to look at the two of them and said another thing: "Zi Chang, Ding Chen, as the person who resigned, the old man Minister, you cannot stay in the capital for long."

He looked deeply at the two people: "Dingyongguan and Jizhou, you must not relax."

Again?

Both of you are a little apprehensive, you are already determined to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering, why do you want to throw the two of us in it over and over again?
"grown ups……"

Gao Xun hesitated for a moment, but still tentatively said, "I'm a low-level official, I'm afraid I won't be able to take charge of the overall situation. And Mr. Zheng has been involved in trifles recently, not to mention that after your lord leaves, the Ministry of Punishment may be in a lot of trouble..."...

This is true. If nothing else, Zhongshu Sheng and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not make it easier for them.

Deng Xunwu also had a worried expression on his face: "My lord, if we just keep going, we will have to do our best to get your lord back. I'm afraid we won't be able to worry about things over there anymore..."

Looking at their expressions, Cai Jing was silent for a moment, before speaking out after a long time: "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow, do you think this kind of thing can stop as soon as it is said?"

Of course he didn't want to let go of this matter, and Cai Jing faintly knew that the possibility of him recovering through normal means was very slim, and changing the dynasty was one of his few hopes.

And looking at the performance of Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun just now, Cai Jing felt that if they hadn't been involved in this incident, the two of them might not have wholeheartedly helped Cai Jing recover!
The lips of the two were dry, yes, how can there be a pause in the rebellion?

Cai Jing looked at the expressions of the two of them, and frowned slightly: "Even if I keep this matter secret, so what?"

"If you don't continue to do it, and don't let Qin Hui stay in Jizhou forever, he may bite me and others after he returns to the court. How will you deal with it then?"

The heads of the two lowered a little more. Based on their understanding of Qin Hui's personality, this matter is not likely but will definitely happen. Even if there is no evidence, he will use this matter to eliminate political opponents.

When Cai Jing is gone, what will they use to fight Qin Hui?
But on the other hand, if they continue to persevere, neither of them see much hope of victory.

Cai Jing is the banner of their Cai party, and now that the flag of the coach has fallen, it will inevitably lead to the downfall of those in the Cai party who are responsible for implementing this matter.

And the people they work with may have to reconsider.

To put it bluntly, Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun didn't have enough prestige to overwhelm others.

The atmosphere in the Ming Hall was silent for a long time, and no one made a sound.

Cai Jing saw that the expressions on the faces of the two subordinates continued to grow serious, and finally snorted coldly: "Although the old man returns to his hometown to live idle, he will not leave the affairs here alone."

"The situation in Jizhou is still under the care of the old man, you just need to exchange the same data as the old man said."

The two had no choice but to obey when they heard the words, and they all cupped their hands together: "Then it's all up to the adults to manage."

Only then did Cai Jing turn pale, and nodded slightly.

The three of them discussed the details of the matter for a while, and then heard a rush of footsteps outside the hall.

"Father! Father!"

With a bit of eagerness on her face, Cai Xuan quickly stepped into the Ming Hall: "My elder brother is not in Huabao Building at all."

"Father, the shopkeeper over there also said that he paid the bill and left shortly after the two uncles left."

Cai Jing looked at him and frowned: "Then where did he go?"

"This……"

Cai Tao was dumbfounded: "Son doesn't know..."

"If you don't know, you won't look for it?"

Cai Jing gouged him out with hatred: "Does this old man need to teach you everything?"

He said anxiously, and coughed non-stop with his face flushed.

As soon as Cai Tao came in, she was scolded with her head covered and her face covered, and she couldn't help being a little confused. Seeing Cai Jing like this now, she subconsciously wanted to come forward.

"Fourth Young Master, you can go first, Mr. Deng and I are here."

Gao Xun winked at him, signaling him to go out and do some business.

Cai Tao just woke up like a dream, and nodded hastily: "Yes, father, my son will go to him right away... let's go..."

As he said that, he ran out in a hurry.

Cai Jing coughed for a long time before recovering, and said with a wry smile to Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun in front of him, "I really made you laugh. I only realized when I got old that none of my sons are worthy of the stage."

"This Ju'an, now that the old man is so sick, he doesn't come back to take a look..."

Gao Xun and Deng Xunwu laughed dryly, just about to comfort him.

But Cai Jing suddenly asked again: "Today he invited you to Huabao Tower, what did he say to you?"
