Chapter 116 Cai Jing's Sap
Chen Pi was secretly happy on the side. Chu You came back at the right time. The army in front of the palace was pressing the formation. Kaifeng City was not afraid of chaos!
Chu You was calm and stood firmly, very disciplined.
After taking the peace of mind, many thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind. A smile slowly emerged on his face and said, "Dianqianshi, you are so kind to take care of me. I will take Mr. Su to come here in person."
Chu You was able to control the Palace Front Office, in addition to Zhao Xu, the original commander and deputy commander of the Palace Front Office, as well as the help of the Privy Councilor Su Song.
Chu You actually did not stand completely. It has always been difficult to control the army in a short time, and it can only be barely stabilized. It still takes time to sort it out. With the emperor Zhao Xu, himself, to put the formation in front of him, it would be better.
"Yes. The poor minister follows the order." Chu You was serious.
Zhao Xu waved his hand, looked at Chen Pi again, and said, "Look at what is happening outside. I inform Mr. Zhang early tomorrow morning and ask them to go to Chuigong Hall in the afternoon. It is about the military system, so let them prepare."
After resting with peace of mind, Zhao Xu's movements can be bigger.
The first thing to control and sort out is the army!
Zhang Dun has taken over the Privy Council and can slowly plan changes to the army.
The only problem is that almost all the powerful soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty were in the Western Army, and the Western Xia was ready to move. Zhao Xu could not call these people back, and he could not move the north for the time being.
Chen Pi could not guess Zhao Xu’s thoughts. He responded, then looked at Zhao Xu carefully and said, “There is a bit of noise outside. There are many people surrounding the Ministry of Justice. The palaces of several ministers are all human beings. There are hundreds of reports of various types in the Political Affairs Hall. There are also many people from outside the Beijing... People are panic and the people are boiling."
Zhao Xu waved his hand indifferently and said, "I don't care about these things, let Mr. Zhang and others go to the aftermath. Also, I will keep a close eye on Cai Jing and his son."
Chenpi's face turned solemn, and she said, "Yes."
Chen Pi dislikes Cai Jing, the father and son very much. His father seems loyal, but in fact he has ulterior motives and pretends to be public and private; his son is ambitious and even his father can betray him again and again.
Zhao Xu thought, and said again: "The military pay for Huanqing Road has not been raised?"
Chenpi nodded and said, "Kaifeng City has money and no grain. Su Xianggong means that he will be lucky enough to solve the urgent problem and then slowly draw on it."
Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he snorted, "Xu Xu Tuzhi? This Su Gong still wants to struggle in the quagmire for a while. There are a few days left, let them struggle first and wait until I can free up my hands before treating them."
Chen Pi and Chu You didn't say anything. The two looked at Zhao Xu and felt that the official in front of them was about to be uncontrollable.
Zhao Xu's mind is indeed full of various ideas, but he cannot implement it immediately. He is both excited and anxious.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu pulled the paper and pen, picked up the pen and said, "You guys go and have a rest."
He was afraid that he would forget it after this time and should write it down carefully.
Chen Pi and Chu You saw each other and looked at each other. The two raised their hands and said, "The villain (the humble minister) sued him."
Zhao Xu didn't raise his head and continued to write.
When Zhao Xu was writing wildly under the lamp, the noise outside the palace became increasingly louder.
Cai Jing and Cai You and his son were getting more and more active, arresting and raiding their homes, and thus more officials, even nobles, were killed, and more people were naturally alarmed.
I don’t know how many people, women and children cried at the palace gate and asked to see Empress Dowager Gao.
Outside the mansions of Su Song, Fan Bailu, Fan Chunren and others, there were people asking for advice, and they were surrounded by people.
The yamen everywhere were also infuriating, and all kinds of resentment were about to break through the roof. Cai Jing and his son became the "first treacherous father and son" of this dynasty.
The besiege of the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice and even the imperial guards of the Imperial City Department often happens, and some powerful servants even use their swords and weapons to confront the officials.
Cai You was cruel and ruthless, and his father Cai Jing was also not inferior. After all, he was the former governor of Kaifeng Prefecture and his methods were fierce and skillful. That night, Kaifeng Prefecture added more than ten appointments.
Cai Jing even directly ordered the confiscation of the property of Lu Dafang and other party members, and opened up patrols back and forth in Kaifeng City.
As the sky gets brighter, people who wake up early or are not sleeping, open the door and open the window and see magical scenes.
The yamen runners pulled the cart, and there were big boxes on it, and there were gold, silver and jade in it, jewelry, boxes of silk, satin, and piles of copper coins!
These large boxes are covered with seals, with mansions, official names, utensils, numbers, etc.
The carriage walked very slowly, and the bluestone road creaked.
"Hey, come and see, it's a lot of money!"
A woman looked at the carriage outside the door and suddenly shouted inside.
An old man came over and did not care about the gold, silver and jade artifacts, but stared at a large box of copper coins, opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "My goodness, this big box is at least hundreds of cents..."
The old woman pushed him and said, "Look carefully, how many carriages?"
The old man stretched out his head out of the window, looked around and looked even more surprised, and said, "My dear mother, I can't see the end. At least tens of thousands of yuan. Whose family copied it from? So rich..."
"It seems that somebody is a man..." the old woman said uncertainly. She didn't know much literacy and was a little far away.
"Zhengwailang, I remember it was the sixth rank. With those good things, it would be at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Is the sixth rank official so rich?" The old man was lost and seemed to regret not becoming an official when he was young.
At this time, several censors from the Censorate wanted to help seek justice in front of the gate of a deputy envoy of the Third Division, but looking at the boxes of things transported out, several people looked at each other and couldn't say a word.
At this time, an imperial city official looked like a accountant. He deliberately patted the thick books and said to several people: "One manor, forty shops, a hundred hectares of fertile land, three houses, more than a hundred servants and servants, and the monthly expenses are 100 guan. This deputy envoy has only 50 guan a month. Tsk, starting from scratch..."
The several censors' faces darkened, and they all swung their sleeves and turned around and left.
What else can we do? If they go to complain about the injustice in front of everyone, who can still pay attention to it? I am afraid they will be arrested as a member of the party!
Han Zongdao, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, was angry at the lockdown of the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice and the Imperial City Department arrested people, confiscated their homes, and killed the "innocent people". He was writing the impeachment memorial, but was called outside the door by his servants.
Looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and the priceless antique calligraphy and paintings, Han Zongdao still held his right hand with his pen stern shrinking, clenched tightly into a fist, his face was as deep as water, and he couldn't say a word.
Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren were also alarmed. Standing on the high ground in the yard, watching the carriage transporting boxes of money back and forth, the two of them were both angry and helpless.
I don’t know who I’m angry, and I don’t know who I’m helpless.
