Chapter 61: The Thing That Never Was

Liang Tao could not answer the young people's questions at all. In terms of system, the Ministry of Revenue is special. Unlike the other five departments, it is affiliated with Jishen. The Ministry of Revenue is just an empty affair, and the real power is in Jishen. In the hands of the three ministries, he, the Minister of Revenue, has no real power!

There is no secret in the court, especially when all parties are paying close attention.

The Political Affairs Hall was moving in succession, and the three yamen also dispatched troops and generals. The palace was filled with a murderous aura. Who would not be shocked!

Since Cai You delivered ginseng to Lu Dafang on behalf of Zhao Xu, he has attracted a lot of attention.

Even though Zhao Xu is just a puppet emperor in the eyes of the senior management, in the eyes of others, Zhao Xu is an emperor, a supreme and untouchable existence.

Therefore, Cai You has become a little glorious recently. He has risen in the position of the CPA and is surrounded by people in the center wherever he passes.

After such a big thing happened, Cai You naturally got the news as soon as possible.

He hurriedly got off work and rushed to the mansion.

Although he was young, he grew up in a family of officials like the Cai family, especially his father and uncle, who had a high position and great influence, and had a very good understanding. In addition, he was determined to "revitalize his family", and he was struggling in his heart at this moment.

Just after returning to the mansion, he went straight to the west courtyard and found a middle-aged man reading a book in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Before Cai You could approach him, he stopped quickly, took a deep breath, tidied up his appearance, and stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "Sir."

The middle-aged man looked handsome and confident all over his body. He put down his book when he heard this, looked up at the sky, and smiled and said, "Yanei came back early today."

Cai You was fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was quite mature and said seriously: "What happened. The official originally wanted to promote his father as a commander, but the three officials envoy Su Xianggong firmly opposed it and wanted to open a court decision, but the official was forced to agree."

The middle-aged man smiled, but as he listened, he gradually thought about it, and said in a moment: "You are talking to the court... Mr. Su forced the official family to retreat without any further."

Cai You was worried and said, "Yes. My father was asked by the official, and it was the reason for this matter. If the court held a court discussion, there would be no possibility of success."

The middle-aged man still thought to himself and said, "If this happens, the situation of the official family will be in trouble, and the Cai family will also suffer a great disaster."

Cai You looked solemn, which was also the reason why he ran back in a hurry.

The Cai family has been tied to the official family. If they suffer losses, the official family will not be able to be good. The Cai family will be the first to be unlucky!

"Sir, what can I do?" Cai You asked as he looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was still pondering. Cai You asked a question, but did not ask, and waited quietly.

As if half an incense stick of time had passed, the middle-aged man raised his head and said, "If you want to help the officials overcome this disaster, you must let the ministers relax. The core of this matter is not your elders, but the officials' constant blow to the three ministers, which aroused the alertness of the husbands. If you want to solve the problem, either the officials have enough strength to block the court officials' mouths, or the Empress Dowager stands on the side of the officials."

Cai You shook his head and said, "The Empress Dowager is also an old party. He will not help the officials. I am afraid he will suppress the officials together. Don't forget that the Empress Dowager forced the Emperor Shenzong to force Mr. Banshan to be dismissed from preaching."

Banshan, Wang Anshi is called Banshan, and most people in the world call him "Mr. Banshan".

The middle-aged man thought for a while, looked at Cai You and said, "Yamen, do you want to bet?"

Cai You was stunned and said, "Sir, are you referring to?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I have always known that the yamen has great ambitions and have no chance. Now that the official family is in danger, if the yamen can help the official family overcome this difficulty, he will definitely be the first-class hero. He will be successful and will be just around the corner."

Cai You was happy first and then surprised, with a tense face, and said cautiously: "If the official family fails, I will never have a chance to stand out?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

Cai You looked at the middle-aged man with a serious expression, and then he changed constantly.

He does not have his father and his second uncle's talent has already lost his hope of career. If he wants to make a difference, he can only find another way. Being appreciated by the official is undoubtedly the best way, but this road is also very risky and a big bet!

If you win a bet, you will be successful and you will be rich and you will be unimaginable; if you lose a bet, you will lose for the rest of your life!

The middle-aged man looked at Cai You quietly, without urging or explaining anything.

Cai You's face changed, and he struggled for a long time. He suddenly gritted his teeth hard, his face twitched again and again, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I'm willing to bet once, please give me advice!"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, saying, "Yane really lives up to expectations."

As he said that, he took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Cai You, saying, "Yanei takes a good look and gives it to the official family as a letter of fame."

Cai You took it, pulled out the paper inside, just swept it quickly and exclaimed, saying, "How dare they!"

The middle-aged man was also solemn and said, "This may be the tip of the iceberg."

Cai You thought he was bold, but the content on these papers was bold! Even though he was in the Cai family, he never thought of such a terrible thing!

Cai You looked carefully and was still shocked and said, "This is the military pay for Huanqing Road, and they dare to embezzle it like this?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This is not the first time. There are probably more roads inside. Jishen, the Privy Council must be aware of it."

Cai You suddenly realized and said, "Mr. I mean, with this, the official can control the three envoys Su Xianggong? Force him to let go?"

The middle-aged man hesitated a little and shook his head and said, "This thing must be of great use to the hands of the government. But it is very particular about how to use it. If it is really thrown out directly, the court will look ugly and the government will not please it."

"This is an act of hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred. The government should not do this."

Cai You answered the conversation, thinking of a solution for Zhao Xu.

The middle-aged man looked at Cai You's serious expression and reminded him: "Yanei, don't think too much. You must hide your weakness when it's time to hide your weakness. I think this official has kept a low profile for many years and kept silent. Once he takes action, he will make the three husbands embarrassed, which will trigger this court discussion. If you are too smart, you will not be beautiful."

Cai You was stunned and said, "Then what should I do?"

The middle-aged man said: "Just do it and don't say it, talk less and do more, don't talk about right and wrong, don't have friends or party."

Cai You carefully savored these sixteen words and said in confusion: "How can the officials see it if they don't seek credit? Besides, how can they gain a foothold in the court without friends or party?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yane might as well remember my words first and then slowly distinguish them in the future."

Cai You thought about it and said, "Okay. Then I'll go to the hospital for laying off the workplace now, and send this thing in with the official's clothes."

Cai Yougang turned around, and the middle-aged man stopped him again, and whispered in a solemn expression: "Remember, this matter has nothing to do with the two bachelors."

‘Two Bachelors’ refers to Cai You’s father Cai Jing and his second uncle Cai Bian.

Cai You knew it and responded: "Yes."

After saying that, Cai You took the paper bag and hurried to the deliberation and construction office again.

The middle-aged man looked at his back and said softly: "I'm very curious about how this official will use this thing."

At the same time, the time for the imperial court to get off work was approaching. Zhao Xu stood under the eaves of the Funing Hall, watching the setting sun, and the folding fan in his hand swayed gently.

Chen Pi stood behind Zhao Xu and vaguely guessed what Zhao Xu was going to do. She was frightened and trembled.

That is the Three Sessions, one of the three majors, so you can’t do it randomly!

"Liu Heng!"

Zhao Xu looked outside the palace and suddenly said in a deep voice.

Liu Heng was the one who used a trick to let Zhao Xu remember his name when he was Cuju for the first time.

Liu Heng was tall and burly, with a serious face at this moment, strode forward, and kneeled on one knee and said, "The last one is here!"

Zhao Xu took out a gold medal from his arms and said in a deep voice: "I ordered you to hold the gold medal and lead two hundred imperial guards to seize Jishen immediately. Everyone is imprisoned in the backyard. No one is allowed to approach without my will! Chenpi, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate, review all accounts of Jishen and the everyone is interrogated!"

really!

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu, stared at the gold medal in his hand, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

What a big deal to seal the Jian Provincial Department and detain Su Che, the envoy of the Third Division!

In his memory, such a thing has never happened!
