Chapter 782: The world kills Chu thieves
As Cai Jing's confidant, Cai Jiu opened the letter when he heard this, swept his eyes over the letter, and soon frowned. It was obvious that the news in Liang Zhongshu's letter was not a good thing.
Cai Jing, who put down the teacup, noticed Cai Jiu's expression change, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "What, is it that something happened to Liang Zhongshu?"
As a chess piece placed in the local area by Cai Jing, Liang Zhongshu still plays a very important role for Cai Jing.
As the prefect of Daming Prefecture, Liang Zhongshu was obviously an extremely important pawn, not to mention that Liang Zhongshu was Cai Jing's son-in-law. The two were in the local area and the other in the central area, which was a long way from time to time.
If something happened to other officials who depended on Cai Jing, Cai Jing might not take it seriously, but Cai Jing still attaches great importance to such an important existence as Liang Zhongshu.
Cai Jiu immediately submitted the letter to Cai Jing and said, "Master, things are not a big deal. It's just that the birthday gift prepared by Liang Zhongshu for the master was robbed by thieves when he was passing through Yuncheng, Shandong."
Cai Jing took the letter and glanced at him, put the letter on the coffee table and said, "Shu Liang has always been cautious in his actions, but he never thought that he would be so careless in this matter. Do he have no capable personnel under his command? The birthday gift escorted by the dignified government can be robbed."
After venting his words, Cai Jing had learned from the letter that the robbed birthday gift was as many as 100,000 yuan, and so many birthday gifts were no longer a small number for Cai Jing.
Don’t think that Cai Jing will swallow all these birthday gifts. He just used the name of the birthday gift to make money for the current officials. Otherwise, Cai Jing would dare to create a birthday gift? I am not afraid that the current officials will punish him.
Just like the Hua Shigang, which was causing a lot of controversy in Jiangnan, was caused by Zhu Jie. With such a big stir, the current government is neither deaf nor blind. Whether it is the Dongchang or the Imperial City Department, there is information about Jiangnan.
However, Zhu Xie, like the King of Jiangnan, exploited the people in Jiangnan, and used the help of Huashigang to make money.
The land of Jiangnan mentioned that Zhu Xie wanted to swallow Zhu Xie alive, but he didn't know that if Zhu Xie had not dedicated a large amount of wealth he had restrained to Zhao Ji, how could Zhu Xie dare to harm Jiangnan so lawlessly?
After all, everything is because of the permission of the emperor, so the names of Flower and Stone Principle, Birthday Principle, etc.
Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Cai Jiu, what should you do about this?"
Cai Jiu glanced at Cai Jing, his triangle eyes trembled slightly, and he immediately said, "Master, Dongchang, the Imperial City Department has the responsibility to supervise the world. This time, the birthday gift was robbed, why don't you ask Dongchang, the Imperial City Department?"
As soon as Cai Jiu mentioned the East Factory, Cai Jing immediately understood Cai Jiu's intention, and it was nothing more than handing over the matter to the East Factory for handling.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Cai Jing and Chu Yi is not inconsistent, but it is precisely because of the failure that he has to hand over this matter to Chu Yi.
If Dongchang could recover the birthday gift, it would be fine, but if he could not recover the birthday gift, he could have studied Chu Yi's book in front of the emperor.
While stroking his beard, Cai Jing nodded slightly and said, "Stand to serve the master, I want to enter the palace to meet the official family!"
In the palace
Zhao Ji, who is full of romantic spirit, is writing wildly at this moment. I have to say that although Zhao Ji is a little worse as the emperor, his artistic accomplishments are few. Just the word "slim gold" can be named after history.
Yang Jian, who was serving by the side, saw Zhao Ji finishing his pen, quickly stepped forward and took the towel from Xiaohuangmen. While taking the brush from Zhao Ji, he presented it with the towel.
Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to him, saw that Yang Jian served Zhao Ji properly, but he did not go forward to fight. Instead, he carefully helped Zhao Ji organize the silk paper, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty's writing skills are getting more and more sophisticated, even if it is not as good as the saint of calligraphy Wang Xizhi."
Although he was very confident in his calligraphy, when he heard Liang Shicheng praise him like this, Zhao Ji said very modestly: "Although my calligraphy is not bad, it is a little worse than Wang Xizhi..."
As they were talking, a burst of laughter came. Several people looked up and saw Cai Jing strode over in his official uniform.
Cai Jing stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Ji. When Liang Shicheng saw Cai Jing coming, his eyes lit up and pulled Cai Jing and said, "Cai Xiang, come and take a look. Is Your Majesty's calligraphy attainment not as good as Wang Xizhi?"
Cai Jing stroked his beard and looked reserved. He stepped forward and stared at Zhao Ji's calligraphy for a long time, his eyes changing.
Seeing Cai Jing so serious, even Zhao Ji, who didn't care much about him, could not help but be attracted by Cai Jing's attention, and he was quite excited about Cai Jing's evaluation.
After breathing a sigh, Cai Jing turned around and bowed to Zhao Ji, and then said, "Your Majesty's calligraphy is unique and unique. Even if it is better than Wang Xizhi, it will definitely be famous in history in the future and will be praised by future generations!"
Cai Jing's words are not an exaggeration. Zhao Ji is indeed famous in history, but more because of his incompetence and innocence, he ruined the great mountains and rivers of the Northern Song Dynasty and left his name in history.
Zhao Ji was naturally in a very good mood when he was praised by Cai Jing. After washing up, Zhao Ji took the tea and said to Cai Jing: "Cai Qing is entering the palace to see me now. Is there anything important in the court?"
Although Zhao Ji lived in the palace and gave power to Cai Jing and others, this did not mean that Zhao Ji knew nothing about the affairs in the court.
If Zhao Ji is willing, no matter how big or small the affairs in the court will be known, so Zhao Ji never worried that he would be undermined by the officials below.
Cai Jing hurriedly said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, my birthday is approaching, and my son-in-law Liang Zhongshu prepared some birthday gifts for me, but on the way to the capital, he was robbed by a group of thieves."
After hearing Cai Jing say this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be surprised and said, "What? There are such a brave thief. If I remember correctly, wouldn't Liang Zhongshu govern the Daming Mansion for me? From Daming Mansion to the capital, they are all in the hearts of my Song Dynasty. In this important place, there will be robbers robbing places?"
Cai Jing said seriously: "I have the same idea. My birthday gift is nothing, but Daming Mansion is so important, from Daming Mansion to the capital, it is the key place of my Song Dynasty. There must be no problem with this kind of confidant place. However, there are bandits, so I dare not be careless, so I especially ask Your Majesty to send people from the East Factory to investigate the matter strictly."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at Cai Jing, and Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji with a serious face, as if to show that he had no selfish thoughts.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will send an order to Chu Yi and ask him to take someone to check what the thieves came from."
Cai Jing immediately said, "If Chu Yi brings people to you, I can feel at ease."
Zhao Ji pointed at Cai Jing, shook his head with a smile and said, "You, you..."
However, Zhao Ji saw the open and secret struggle between Cai Jing and Chu Yi, but he would not stop it. Instead, he was happy to see it. If Chu Yi and Cai Jing really stopped fighting, Zhao Ji would be worried.
As long as the two fight, he can be high above and centered to adjust everything, without worrying about being united and undermining it and becoming a puppet emperor.
Seeing this scene, Yang Jian opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. It was clearly Cai Jing who was designing Chu Yi, but the emperor knew it clearly but had no intention of stopping it. This means that even if he spoke, he could not change the emperor's mind.
As a favorite minister around the emperor, Yang Jian naturally knew when to say what to say. Since things cannot be done, everything would be followed by the emperor. At most, he would tell Chu Yi everything and let Chu Yi be careful.
The court was still very fast, and the emperor made a decision here, and soon a eunuch passed the order to convey the order to the East Factory.
In the East Factory, Chu Yi looked at the imperial edict put aside, with a smile in his eyes.
Chu Yi was indeed a little surprised. He did not expect Cai Jing to push this matter to Dongchang.
Of course, Chu Yi knew Cai Jing's intentions very well, just to cause trouble for the East Factory.
Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others looked at Chu Yi, and their faces were full of anger.
Although this matter is under the jurisdiction of their Dongchang, to be honest, the arrest of thieves should be the responsibility of the local government. Only when the local government is unable to capture them will they go to Binghuangchengsi or Dongchang to hand over the case.
However, the local government has not handed over the case, so Cai Jing directly went through the procedure to solve such a case through the emperor's hand over the emperor to their East Factory.
Regardless of whether the Dongchang can solve this case, Cai Jing’s intention to the Dongchang is obvious.
Although it was not the first time that Cai Jing was targeted, everyone was mentally prepared, but when they really received the imperial edict, the crowd was still in a very good mood.
Whether it is Guan Sheng, Xu Ning, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Hu Yanzhuo, these people have loyalty and righteousness, and are quite loyal to the Song Dynasty. However, because they are in the Dongchang and have too much information, these people can see through the foolish face of the current government than many people.
Whether it is favoring Cai Jing, the treacherous minister or indulging Zhu Xie to harm the Jiangnan area, it can be said that since Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, the situation in the Song Dynasty can be said to be deteriorating day by day.
If you can't get in touch with these, it would be fine. However, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others were able to get in touch with these through the news channels of the East Factory, and they were naturally quite disappointed with today.
"Admiral, we..."
Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "It just so happened that I want to go out for a walk. Since Cai Jing wants to see Chu jokes, then Chu will go on one go."
While speaking, Chu Yi looked at Lin Chong and said, "Lin Chong, you are a steady person by nature and have been with me for the longest time. You will also take care of all the affairs of the East Factory. This time, I will take people to Shandong, and this East Factory will be temporarily supervised by you!"
Lin Chong stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Admiral, don't worry, Lin Chong decided to be the governor of the East Factory as the governor, and wait for the governor to return."
Xu Ning, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and others couldn't help but thrust their chests one by one. Naturally, they hoped to go to Shandong with Chu Yi, but the few people present were not fools. Chu Yi obviously wanted to leave others to assist Lin Chong, and it was impossible to take everyone away, so some of them must stay. Whoever could be selected depends on Chu Yi.
"Xu Ning, Hu Yanzhuo, you two stay to assist Lin Chong."
Although they were called out by Chu Yi, they felt a little disappointed, but they still respectfully accepted the order.
As for Hua Rong, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi and others, Chu Yi named him with joy, packed up his things, and went to Shandong with Chu Yi.
On this side, before Chu Yi and his group left the capital, news had already spread throughout the world.
You should know that over the years, Chu Yi's reputation has become synonymous with the efforts of Cai Jing and others. Even if it is compared with Cai Jing and Zhu Xie and others, it is not much worse.
Although I dare not say that everyone is beating, there are many people in the world who want to take Chu Yi's head and become famous all over the world.
Of course, it is not just Chu Yi, but even Cai Jing, Zhu Xie and others are also the targets that many people in the world are keen on assassination.
Even though he was in the capital, Cai Jing had elite guards to protect him from court every day. Even so, Cai Jing was assassinated more than once.
Chu Yi hid in the East Factory and did not leave, but according to what Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others said, there were no less than a dozen people in the world who secretly spyed over the East Factory.
Today, there are many passionate people in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, especially those in the martial arts world who came from the occupied areas, transferred their hatred for the court and their incompetence to the old place to Cai Jing and Chu Yi, the so-called traitors such as Cai Jing and Chu Yi seemed to be able to rush their troops to fight the north and take back the old place.
Chu Yi led a large army to encircle and suppress the Murong clan. It can be said that everyone knows it in the world. It was that battle that made Chu Yi enter the sight of countless people in the world.
For those in the martial arts world, North Qiaofeng and South Murong spread throughout the world through their mouths, and can be said to be the representatives of the martial arts world.
However, the Murong family, as their representative, was actually destroyed by the court, which naturally deeply stimulated these people in the world.
Although some people in the world know that the reason why the Murong family was destroyed was entirely due to their own fault, Murong Longcheng made a big fuss in the capital, and the Murong family intends to restore the Dayan, no matter which one, it is understandable that the court will destroy the Murong family.
But besides a very few people in the world know this secret, how many people know the Murong family's plans? These people will only regard the Murong family as their idol. The destruction of the Murong family can be imagined that it will inevitably make many people in the world hostile to the court.
As the executioner who destroyed the Murong clan, Chu Yi certainly became a veritable traitor.
When the news spread that Chu Yi left the capital and was about to go to Shandong, the huge rivers and lakes were boiling for a moment. I don’t know how many people in the rivers and lakes were ready to kill Chu Yi’s head and make a name for themselves.
From Bianliang City to Daming Mansion, there are many dangers along the way.
At this moment, Yang Zhi was sitting opposite Chu Yi with a solemn expression on his face, looking at Chu Yi holding a book, and said, "Admiral, if we leave Beijing this time, if we go to Daming Mansion, we will pass through Chisong Forest, Yeyundu, Baishawu, Huangnigang, Umgai Mountain, Taohua Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Zijin Mountain and many other evil places!"
Chu Yi couldn't help but brow and said, "Oh, what are the dangers in these places?"
Yang Zhi said seriously: "Before leaving, his subordinates drew up information collected by the Dongchang about the many dangerous places along the way from Bianliang City from Daming Mansion. Among them, these places are the best. It can be said that there are strong people entrenched in each place."
Looking at Chu Yi, Yang Zhi couldn't help but show his worry on his face, "Admiral, the news of our departure from Beijing has been deliberately leaked. In this way, I don't know how many people want to kill the Admiral to make their name all over the world. My subordinates are worried..."
