Chapter two hundred and seventy-two three surname slaves
Zhou He paused for a moment and immediately said, "Yes. The villain will go now."
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhou He's back and sighed softly, her face was sleepy, and said with a strong spirit: "I'm really old, if it were half a year ago..."
Zhou He came to the palace gate and said a few words. After the guards informed Chenpi, Chenpi rushed over and said the original words of Empress Dowager Gao.
Chenpi looked suspicious and thought for a moment, then said, "Let me convey the original words."
Zhou He nodded and followed Chenpi to the green tiled house.
In front of Empress Meng, Su Song, Zhang Dun and other four ministers, Empress Gao’s original words were repeated.
Su Song, Han Zongdao and others were not happy, and their expressions were silent, and they could not see what they were thinking.
Zhang Dun snorted coldly in his heart. No matter whether it is true or false, he would definitely not allow that kind of thing to happen!
Queen Meng's eyes flashed with joy, and then said calmly: "I understand."
Zhou He raised his hand gently and then left the green tiled house.
Empress Meng sat upright and continued to look through the book in her hand, with a calm expression.
Su Song, Zhang Dun and others watched, and their own thoughts were all in their hearts, so they sat back silently.
After such a period of time, the news that Zhao Xu was seriously ill and unconscious outside the palace has been fermented and everyone has known it.
Some people, such as Liang Tao, Xu Jiang, and Lin Xi, thought of today's abnormality after receiving the news, were shocked and did not care about the heavy matters in their hands, and hurriedly entered the palace.
While Liang Tao and others received the news, the Ministry of Works Office.
Yang Wei, the Minister of Works, is arranging the content of the "new law". The Ministry of Works has a heavy task, with two in total: one is the official road, which involves water, land and bridges, etc. The other is the civilian irrigation and dredging of fields. Both tasks are very large and arduous, and there is a strict assessment system, so it is very busy.
At this time, a chief officer ran into Yang Wei's class room with a panic expression, turned around and closed the door, walked to Yang Wei, and said in a low voice and anxious voice: "Shangshu, everyone is rumored outside, the official family is seriously ill and still not awake."
Yang Wei paused the pen in his hand, his face changed and said, "Where did the news come from? Is it true?"
As he said that, he thought of all the strange things today. Before the person in charge could speak, he had a calm face and his eyes flashed violently.
Seeing this, the head whispered even more: "I asked someone to go and inquire. It is said that the palace is very abnormal."
Yang Wei glanced at him, but he was still moved on the surface, but became anxious.
Yang Wei is also a person who has experienced the changes in the officialdom for a long time. He soon thought of some possibility and the drastic changes that would occur in the palace and court after this possibility!
'Will the Empress Dowager come back again?'
Yang Wei's heart was shocked and he whispered secretly.
The head of the lord looked at him and said, "Shangshu, someone is already urging him to invite the Empress Dowager to come out again to rule the country."
Yang Wei's face changed suddenly and shouted, "Who is it?"
The head of the matter said carefully: "I don't know, they are all rumors, I'm afraid they are still those who oppose the reform."
Yang Wei was panicked and unable to settle down. He put down his pen and silently stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go to the Ministry of Justice, and you can watch it in the yamen."
The head responded quickly and sent Yang Wei out of the mansion.
Yang Wei soon came to the Ministry of Justice and had a secret talk with Cai Jing, the Minister of Justice, in the duty room.
The two sat opposite each other, one squinted his eyes, with a firm and mean look; the other brows were deeply locked, and his face was full of panic.
Seeing that Cai Jing refused to speak, Yang Wei simply said, "We don't need to have a puzzle like this. The matter is coming, so I'll ask you, what do you think?"
Cai Jing looked at Yang Wei and said nothing.
Yang Wei was anxious. Seeing that Cai Jing still refused to speak, he said angrily: "They have all entered the palace. Since you don't speak, we will spend all the time here!"
Dingdeng
Suddenly, an urgent footstep sounded, and a young man pushed open the door and strode in.
Yang Wei was already guilty and was shocked when he saw him. When he saw the visitor, he looked at Cai Jing again and stood up in surprise and said, "Nephew, has something been found?"
The visitor was Cai You, the commander of the Imperial City Department.
Cai You was even more nervous than Yang Wei. He first picked up the teapot and drank it, then wiped his mouth, and said, "I tried my best to find out a little. The official suddenly fell into a coma after the court meeting. There was no news from the Imperial Hospital, but the palace was nervous. The news said that it was very likely - very fierce!"
If it was just an accidental cold, how could so many strange things happen today!
Cai Jing frowned and his face was solemn.
Yang Wei sat back on the chair and said in panic: "What to do? What to do? What to do..."
If Empress Dowager Gao makes a comeback, Yang Wei will inevitably be liquidated as the "New Party". In the future, he will probably have to run back and forth like many predecessors, and die in a miserable way on the way to exile.
Cai You looked at Cai Jing, lost his previous calmness, and said with a pale face: "Dad, what should I do now?"
If the Empress Dowager is in charge of the rule again, he and the Cai family will never be spared.
The Cai family was also heavy, and they were so depressed that they forced themselves to analyze, saying, "The others have entered the palace, we can't delay, we have to go in immediately."
Yang Wei was anxious and said, "I heard on the road that the green tiled house has been surrounded by the imperial guards. We have gone, aren't we going to fall into the trap?"
Cai Jing was stunned and looked at Cai You.
Cai You nodded and said, "I have no one in the palace, and the information I have heard is limited. But I heard that since the court meeting, Su, Erzhang, and Han have not appeared. In addition, the Empress seems to be in the green tiled house and has never come out. I don't know who issued the order."
Who ordered the guards to surround the green tiled house?
Cai Jing frowned into the character "Chuan", and the changes in the palace made him unable to see through.
Is this the Empress Dowager taking action? Su Song, Zhang Dun and others were under house arrest? Then, has the official family actually died?
Yang Wei was even more anxious and looked at Cai Jing and said, "You have always had an idea. I can't think of anything now. Tell me, what should I do?"
Cai Jing picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it, and his heart was surging.
Yang Wei looked at him, looking forward to what he could do.
Yang Wei can be said to be infamous and was nicknamed "Yang Sanbian", accusing him of having no moral integrity in the court struggles and changing his ranks for the sake of power change.
It is roughly the name of the "three surnames slaves".
Cai Jing is also not inferior. During the Yuanfeng period, he was known as the "Cutting Prime Minister" of Kaifeng Prefecture, and was a hard-core reformist faction. At the beginning of Yuanyou, Sima Guang was in power. He quickly surrendered to the past, firmly opposed the reform, and was the vanguard of the abolition of the "new law".
Now, he is a radical in the reformist faction and put forward the suggestion of "abolition of imperial examinations" and "setting up a wide range of academies".
These two people are basically not tolerant of the "new and old" parties, and are marginalized in the court and feel extremely insecure.
Now, they are even more insecure.
Seeing Cai Jing's face changing constantly, Yang Wei suddenly approached and whispered: "Someone outside is connecting with each other, as if he wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to come out and rule the country again."
Cai Jing heard this and said, "You want to write a letter first? The situation is not clear now, wait."
Yang Wei said: "From the current situation, if we wait any longer, we will probably have no chance!"
‘The Legend of Following the Dragon’ is not about burning a cold stove, you must be the first!
Cai Jing's expression was calm and hesitant.
He had never expected that the situation would suddenly reach this level, so that he would not give him any more time to see clearly!
Cai Jing is a speculative, but he is also a cautious person. If he doesn't see the opportunity, he will never act rashly.
The last time the memorial gave him a profound lesson and made him hesitate.
Cai You thought about it and gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, my Imperial City Office has arrested so many people and confiscated so many families. If the Empress Dowager ruled behind the curtain again, our Cai family will definitely have no way to survive!"
Now is not after Yuanfeng. In just half a year, the "old party" bosses were swept away, and not one or two died!
The "old party" is already cruel and ruthless, so they are back, but I don't know how to make the revenge even worse!
Not only was Cai You's hands covered with blood, Cai Jing was the Minister of Justice, and there were still countless people in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
If Empress Dowager Gao makes a comeback, these people will inevitably be released, promoted and then they will be crazy about Cai Jing!
Cai Jing's expression gradually became darker. He looked at Cai You and Yang Wei and said, "There is another way. Let's write a memorial to ask the Empress Dowager to take the power behind the curtain and take it with you. After entering the palace, we will act according to the opportunity!"
