I studied in modern times

Chapter 486 Cai Jing: Am I only worth three thousand guan?

The Empress Dowager wanted to be clean, but the crows, who were already drunk, did not give her the time to clean up.

From the end of April to the beginning of May, in the days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the court hall was full of chaos.

The censors of the new party and the old party are all busy updating KPIs.

By the way, let's kill each other's guys who have long disliked each other.

After Li Zong, the crows of the New Party decisively took action to supervise the censor Zhang Ruxian, You Zhengyan Liu Cizhuang and others, and jointly impeached Zhang Xian, the direct bachelor of Longtuge, for being a coward and old man. He should have become an official, but instead of caring about the country's kindness, he secretly Tong Zaizhi actually wanted to plot to find out about Suzhou!

Therefore, on Dingsi (the first day of the lunar month) in the fifth month, Zhang Mian was forced to promote Dongxiao Palace to an official position.

This is the result of the special preferential treatment given by Zhang Xian and Lu Gongzhu due to their friendship.

Because, since last year, a new trend has emerged in the Great Song Dynasty.

The new party and the old party began to work together to attack the old guys who were occupying their positions.

This incident began when Kumamoto was impeaching Zizhou Zizhou at the time of his impeachment on Jingdong Road. Zhao Zi was stupid and old.

Directly forcing Zhao Ziji to become an official.

Thus, Pandora's box was opened.

Because the ministers of the new party and the old party are now mainly ministers Xix and Feng who are in their forties and fifties.

Although these people have different positions, their political views are very different and antagonistic.

But when it comes to telling Qingli, Huangyou, Jiayou, and Zhiping veterans to get out and move their seats, they are surprisingly unanimous, and even have a high level of tacit understanding.

Since last year, the young factions of the new party and the old party have tacitly adopted methods such as impeaching each other's veterans, and got rid of twenty or thirty officials who still wanted to stay.

And this time, they even started to target an important minister who was waiting to be appointed.

Zhang Xian's dismissal announced the success of the young faction.

It is conceivable that in the next two or three years, the local states, counties and even the courts of the Song Dynasty will undergo a major change of blood.

There will be fewer and fewer veterans over the age of seventy or even over sixty-five.

Until this court fell into the control of ministers Xi and Feng.

Of course Zhao Xu is happy to see the results.

The old guys didn't give up the gold coins, but they still refused to leave, taking his salary and doing nothing.

This is somewhat difficult for Zhao Xu, who has always wanted to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and optimize the Song Dynasty.

Now that the crows are taking the initiative to help him, Zhao Xu is too late to be happy.

That is, the old and new parties, in other places, seem to have a tendency to start a real fight.

For example, after the Li Zong case, people from the old party began to turn against Cai Jing, the most important minister close to Zhao Xu of the new party.

"What's going on with Cai Jing?" Zhao Xu asked Shi Deyi, who was standing in front of him, after reading the bullets sent to the palace by Tongjian Si: "Shi Deyi, go and ask Cai Jing..."

"Can he still control Kaifeng Mansion?"

"I can't control it. I'll call the county in the morning to avoid losing my people!"

Shi Deyi lowered his head, with some sweat stains on his forehead.

Because he knew that this official seemed to be scolding Cai Jing, but in fact he also scolded him.

but……

Shi Deyi knew that he could be scolded by an official, which showed that in the eyes of this official, he and Cai Jing were still saved.

Otherwise, given this official's usual temperament, he would be too lazy to scold him.

The officials will pretend that nothing happened.

Then he watched with cold eyes, watching the wolves swarm up and tear Shi Deyi and Cai Jing into pieces.

During the whole process, the officials would just put their hands behind their backs and say lightly: You deserve it!

The most typical example is Wang Shen.

From the time Wang Shen died, the officials watched with cold eyes.

And Wang Shen's death happened slowly under the cold eyes of this official.

During that time, the Privy Council and the Ministry of Officials took the Wang family to boil boiling water every day.

The palace had no attitude towards this.

Therefore, the Wang family could only let Wang Shen die suddenly.

If they don't die suddenly, they will die suddenly.

In addition, not long ago, how did it happen that Zhang Chengyi dug up his father's grave and took the treasures buried with him?

Did An Dun have a dog nose?

People swagger through the market in Luzhou, but An Dun knows it when he smells it in Bianjing?

Do you really think there are so many "enthusiastic people in Bianjing"?

Therefore, although he was reprimanded by the officials, Shi Deyi felt as sweet as eating honey.

"Everyone, I am also guilty of this!" Shi Deyi lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake: "The Detective Department did not supervise well and failed to detect the situation in Kaifeng Mansion in time. This is a dereliction of duty by the Detective Department, and I ask everyone to punish you!"

As he spoke, he bowed his head deeply in front of his young master.

Zhao Xu glanced at him, waved his hands and said: "Okay! Okay!"

"I don't blame everyone."

Shi Deyi lay down even tighter, and he nodded repeatedly: "No matter what, it is the minister's dereliction of duty."

"I am everyone's eyes and ears. I cannot even control the affairs of Bianjing City. I am really ashamed!"

"I invite you to visit other counties..."

Zhao Xu then stood up and helped the veteran minister up: "We all know that words are serious, words are serious..."

"Just be careful in the future."

Beating is beating, but you cannot chill the hearts of the loyal ministers around you.

Zhao Xu will never forget the tragic stories of those guys who overturned their cars because they were not good to the people around them.

Therefore, after holding up the stone, Zhao Xu said: "Besides, the Detective Department cannot cover everything. You know this, and I know it too."

"You know it, so there's no need to say it anymore!" He raised his hand to stop Shi Deyi from continuing to apologize.

"Dou Zhi is Huang Kao's loyal minister, and he is also my loyal minister." Zhao Xu looked at Shi Deyi emotionally: "Huang Kao once entrusted me with Du Zhi, saying that Du Zhi would have a good ending."

"I always keep it in my heart!" Zhao Xu pointed to his chest: "I have always regarded Douzhi as a family member."

Zhao Xu's acting skills are naturally good.

Moreover, his performance has always been very good.

To the people around him, he is always as gentle and gentle as the spring breeze.

Even if the little yellow men and female officials around him serve him, he will nod slightly and smile.

Sometimes I even say thank you.

Children who are polite are always given preferential treatment.

And a king who is courteous to others, even condescending and gentle to those around him will undoubtedly eat up people's hearts.

This is not only Zhao Xu's experience in his previous life, but also the ancestral craftsmanship of the old Zhao family - since the Ren Temple, the attitude of the Zhao family towards the people around them has been obvious to all.

After studying in modern times, Zhao Xu became even more outstanding.

Because he knew very well that something as free as a smile or an understatement of 'Thank you' could be worth as much as a thousand pieces of gold if used by him.

Shi Deyi couldn't stand Zhao Xu's tenderness at all.

His eyes immediately turned red.

"My lord... my lord..." He lowered his head, with tears filling his eyes: "I am willing to run for everyone! To repay the kindness of the late emperor, and to repay everyone's kindness."

Zhao Xu looked at him and nodded vigorously: "I know, everyone knows me, and Yu Huangkao is like a family member. Therefore, the Detective Department will have to worry about you in the future, so just keep watching for me."

"Except for Dou Zhi..." Zhao Xu looked up lonely: "There are only a few people I can trust."

Shi De burst into tears.

I wish I could go back to the Imperial City Department right away and call all the heads and commanders of the Detective Department over and give me a scolding.

The officials have generously treated you with generous salaries, preferential treatment, and generous rewards. They even wrote in their own words: "The minions of the country, the eagles and dogs of the country, are given to you. Is this how you repay the officials?"

Such a big thing happened in Kaifeng Mansion, and you turned a deaf ear?

How are you going to eat? "Everyone... everyone..." He bowed and burst into tears: "Please rest assured, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."

"If something like this happens again in Bianjing City, there is no need for anyone to punish him. The old minister will go to Yongyu Mausoleum to apologize."

Zhao Xu reached out and patted his shoulder, saying nothing.

"I will return to the Imperial City Department immediately to summon the heads and commanders of the Detective Department to investigate all the details of this matter."

"Go!" Zhao Xu nodded.

Seeing Shi De exiting the sleeping chamber of Funing Hall step by step, Zhao Xu also sighed.

"Cai Yuanchang!" He shook his head: "Can you save me some snacks?"

There is now a big basket in Kaifeng Mansion.

If Cai Jing was indeed deeply involved as reported by the crows at Yushitai.

Then, Zhao Xu couldn't protect him.

"Why is it so difficult to do something?" Zhao Xu patted the table next to him irritably.

But that's how the world is.

This is not a game. All NPCs have locked loyalty. As long as they give instructions, everyone will follow them.

There is no corruption, no abuse of power for personal gain, and no sophistication.

In reality, all these things exist, and they are interdependent.

Hey!

Zhao Xu couldn't help it and cursed in his heart again.

Now, he can only hope that Cai Jing, the bastard, has some bottom line and is not deeply involved.

Otherwise, he would have to find a spare tire for Cai Jing.

But the reality is - in the Song Dynasty, those who are smarter than Cai Jing are not as flexible as him, and those who are more flexible than him may have some moral pursuits.

Even if it is difficult to find a minister who is as smart and flexible as Cai Jing, he is also a moral vacuum.

However, it is still difficult to replace Cai Jing.

Because ability may become a new shortcoming.

There is no way, like Cai Jing, Zhao Xu will take the initiative to do the dirty work as long as he is given a hint, and will take all the blame himself with a smile. At the same time, there are too few civil servants and officials who can really do things. !

……

Cai Jing sat in his study room with a gloomy face.

"Huji!" He gritted his teeth, his face extremely ferocious.

At this moment, Cai Jing wanted to beat his deputy, the Kaifeng government official, to death.

"Sir..." Cai Jing's son, Cai You, said tremblingly outside the door: "Shi Duzhi is here."

Cai Jing took a deep breath and said quickly: "Please!"

After a while, Shi Deyi, with a gloomy face, was invited into Cai Jing's mansion.

Then, he was taken to Cai Jing's study.

"Everyone knows." Cai Jing greeted him at the door.

Shi De glanced at this guy, said nothing, and just waved his hand.

Cai Jing immediately glanced at his family: "Everyone get out, everyone get out!"

Cai Jing's family members saw that something was wrong and quickly resigned.

Cai Jing bowed his hands and said, "You know, please come in and talk."

Shi Deyi nodded gloomily, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.

This made Cai Jing feel frightened.

He knew that Kaifeng Mansion had messed up things this time.

The official's face will be completely lost by him.

This is the place where the emperor oversees government and where the young master listens to government. Such a scandal occurred.

Not to mention inside the palace, even Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang wanted to give themselves a few slaps.

Therefore, Cai Jing’s inner resentment is conceivable.

If one could kill someone by scolding, in Cai Jing's heart, Hu Ji would have died ten thousand times.

Shi Deyi passed by Cai Jing and entered the study.

"Kaifeng Mansion." He walked to a screen in the study, then turned around and said in a deep voice: "The official ordered me to ask..."

Cai Jing immediately knelt down and nodded in the direction of Funing Hall: "My lord, I have the authority to know the capital of Kaifeng, and I would like to listen to the news of virtue."

"Kaifeng Mansion!" Shi Deyi closed his eyes and asked coldly: "Can you still take care of it?"

"I can't control it. I'll call the county in the morning to avoid losing my people!"

Cai Jing trembled, facing the direction of Funing Hall, and bowed again: "I am guilty of death! Death!"

"May your Majesty give me a few days, and I will be rewarded after the Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Otherwise, beg to behead Xuande outside the gate!"

This thing is so embarrassing.

Not only because it happened in Kaifeng Mansion, but also because this matter had been kept hidden, and even more because Cai Jing had never even heard of it before today.

As a result, he was exposed by Sun Yong, the Zuo Jianyi doctor at Yushitai!

What does this mean?

Sun Yong knows the situation in Kaifeng Mansion better than Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang!

This is a shame!

What a shame!

It’s even more of a sin, a huge sin!

If Cai Jing can't give an explanation to the palace about this matter, then he should quickly find a rope and hang himself, so as not to embarrass the palace.

no way!

So embarrassing.

Right under his nose, right under the nose of today's officials.

Someone with great powers bribed the officials at the top and bottom, and opened up all the ways from Kaifeng Mansion to Dali Temple.

The case was settled behind his back as the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, as well as behind the backs of the capital and the Ministry of Punishment.

Let them decide it.

But what happened to the closing document?

The writing is full of loopholes. Even a poor man with no reputation, as long as he has normal logical thinking ability, will know that this is a random judgment!

it's good now!

The crow at Yushitai caught the loophole and found the problem.

Then, people directly exposed the case to the palace.

Huo Huo sharpened his sword because he was here for Cai Yuanchang.

Just to drive Cai Yuanchang away from Kaifeng Mansion!

To be honest, Cai Jing actually doesn't hate Sun Yong.

Because, he knows that if he catches such a big deal as Sun Yong, he will only be more ruthless than Sun Yong!

Cai Jing only hates Hu Ji!

I only hate those bastards who sold him, Cai Yuanchang, for three thousand guan!

If you are corrupt, even if you have more brains, even if you use more thought, even if you handle the details a little better, you will not put him in such an embarrassing situation.

Moreover, it is only three thousand strings.

These bastards sold him to Cai Jing.

Cai Jing is actually only worth three thousand guan! ?

This fact made Cai Jing completely unable to bear it.

Am I that cheap?

Even if it sells for 30,000 yuan, I feel a little better in my heart!
