Chapter 418 The loyalty we talk about is ruining my life?! (1st update)
"The official issued an oral order to summon Prime Minister Cai and Tong Observer to discuss matters outside."
Cai Jing and Tong Guan glanced at the smiling Liang Shicheng, and then at the expressionless Yang Jian.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard an obviously irritable shout coming from outside the study.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come in quickly?!"
The two of them did not dare to neglect, so they bravely walked into the imperial study room quickly.
Just a moment ago, Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, was so lazy and peaceful.
At this moment, he stood in the center of the royal study with a livid face, his eyes like daggers, looking towards them.
"When an old minister meets an official, I wonder what the official's instructions are?"
Shengsheng was frightened by the sight of the two of them, and Cai Jing did not hesitate to salute the official directly, with a flattering and humble tone.
What is the situation in Bu Cong? When the officials are angry, they must give up.
Tong Guan on the side was not bad at all. At the same moment as Cai Jing saluted, she bowed her head respectfully, looking like a timid little daughter-in-law.
The official's eyes were fixed on the two of them, and the official's heavy breathing echoed in the study.
After several breaths of dead silence, Cai and Tong began to feel frightened, and then they heard the official's voice that contained Tao Tian's anger.
"We two are guilty?!"
The official's questioning immediately confused Cai Jing, and he looked up at the official Zhao Ji with a face filled with astonishment.
Then he looked consciously at the boy next to him.
If the thing that was delivered urgently over 800 miles away is not about the military situation on the frontier, then it is also due to his Tong Guan's fault. What happened to me?
Tong Guan also looked confused, and looked at Cai Jing consciously. In the past few years, our family had been able to send troops to fight in the border towns of the Song Dynasty.
How could I have time to get along with that traitor? Besides, it was urgent to deliver the goods 800 miles away, so why should I deny the important military and national affairs?
Cai Jing saw the change in Tong Guan's expression and saluted the official without hesitation.
"My lord, I don't know why the officials ask this question..."
Tong Guan couldn't help but raised his objection in a low voice.
"Official, if this slave has done something wrong, I would like to ask the official to punish me severely and let this slave know the reason at least."
"Haha, we, the two of us..."
Zhao Ji, an official, saw the confused looks on their faces and recalled the cheerful expressions on their faces when Cai Jing and Na Tong Guan kept saying good things for Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng.
The anger in Zhao Ji's heart grew higher and higher, and he immediately picked up the copy of Eight Hundred Miles Express that was on the desk, and threw it hard on the floor in front of the two of them.
"We have just told me that Zhu Chong, Zhu Meng and his son, who are in charge of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, are loyal to the country and dedicated to the court, and are willing to die for me."
"Now, if we tell me that Zhu Chong, Zhu Meng and his son are plotting rebellion and raising armies to cause rebellion, will that disqualify the loyalty we say and bring shame on me?!"
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Cai and Tong, who were in front of the official and praised Zhu and his son for their loyalty and courage in doing things, stared at the official who was so lustful.
Tong Guan immediately picked up the eight-hundred-mile letter that Baoyu's family had thrown on the floor and put it in his lap. When he opened it, he saw the name of Tan Zhen, the enshrining officer of Hangzhou Jinming Bureau.
There is news that the Zhu family and his son are planning to rebel, and Suzhou has begun to be in turmoil.
Tong Guan's face gradually turned from rosy to gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Cai Jing saw that scene, he took the 800-mile express without any regard for politeness.
Soon, his expression became the same as that of the child, and he murmured to himself in disbelief.
"No, no, no, are their father and son crazy? Apparently before... the officials, was there any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding, do I mean that? Does Tan Zhen, a close eunuch around me, dare to deceive me with things like treason?"
"In those few years, Zhu Chong, Zhu Meng and his son actually recruited thousands of desperadoes to protect them."
"None of the princes of the Song Dynasty were as courageous as him."
"Are all the officials in Suzhou and all the officials in Jiangnan blind?!"
"For several years, the people's land was invaded and even the official land was almost completely under the control of the Zhu family and his son."
"Even the officials in Suzhou, and even in Xiuzhou, all come from the sect of the Zhu family and his son..."
With the voice of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, which was not high-pitched, but revealed the gloomy voice of Ye Changzi.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan both bowed to the ground and apologized repeatedly. The sweat on their bodies had soaked through their clothes in a short time and began to fall to the floor along the corners of their clothes.
The two of them were so frightened that they wanted to pick up their weapons, rush to Suzhou, chop the Zhu family and his son into pieces and feed them to the dogs.
It must be too bad for the horse rider. The two of them are thinking about the future of their father and son.
It turns out that they actually betrayed the imperial court and raised a flag to rebel. What on earth could the imperial court do that could not afford our father and son's fault?
I beg to rebel, at least as early as possible. Why do I want to choose that time?
At this moment, Cai Jing, who was kowtowing as if he were pounding garlic, and Tong Guanwai, were they really lying in the same trap again and again?
"That's enough..." As the official Zhao Ji shouted, Cai Jing and Tong Guanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I also know very well that the most painful moment is when I meet Donglai.
Cai Jing still prostrated himself on the ground, resisting the dizziness caused by kowtowing just now, raised his legs, and gingerly wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
Although neither he nor Tong Guan would be classified as accomplices because of Na Yuan Tejiangnan's rebellion.
But no doubt, he will definitely be greatly implicated in this matter.
I am afraid that my position as the leader is in jeopardy again...
#####
Official Zhao Ji looked at the trembling Tong Guan and Cai Jing who were lying on the ground to plead guilty. At this moment, there was no way to fully vent the anger in his heart.
Rebellion in Suzhou will definitely destabilize Jiangnan, and the ruthless Xiao Gao Ruming, who is the governor of the two Zhejiang roads, is in Jiangnan, how can he not be affected?
No, if the Zhu family, who are deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, gets into trouble, Xiao Gao's safety will be in danger...
When I think of my ruthless disciple Yuan Tejiangnan, I still remember my mentor. But at this moment, I am really beyond my reach.
As for the ministers and servants around him, they all appear to be loyal, but in reality they all have their own agendas.
Especially those two idiots Tong Guan and Cai Jing, who had no idea how much money they had received from the Zhu family, were actually very good at covering up for the Zhu family and his son at that time.
"The two of us, I, have always been relying on each other, hoping that we can do things well for me, but I didn't expect that we are so selfish..."
At the gate of the palace, another rider fell off his horse in the dust and roared at the shocked palace guard.
"According to the order of the governor's envoy, urgent delivery from 800 miles away."
