Chapter 1191 The big plan is revealed, the rebellion happens, it turns out that Ren Xia is a rebel!
A wisp of sandalwood rose slowly in the hall of Cai Mansion, and the windows on all sides were closed tightly, making the room seem groggy. Gao Qiu and Tong Guan sat on the left and right, staring at the bright beard and hair in front of them, and there was something in their narrow eyes.
There seems to be a brilliant minister Cai Jing. Although Cai Jing did not lose his composure in front of them because of the pain of losing his son, they felt uneasy when he was the prime minister who had experienced many ups and downs in the court and had long been practiced in political tactics.
When he was happy, the atmosphere at the scene could not help but become very depressing and solemn. If the ministers and officials without some determination appeared in front of Cai Jing, they would be so frightened by the aura in the room that they would not even dare to breathe.
One bite.
Even Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable because of Cai Jing's sinking expression. Having been Zhao Ji's favorite minister for many years, Gao Qiu knew how much he could do in the former department of Bianjing Palace. For Cai Jing, this was not the case.
As an old fox who is used to the ups and downs of the court, he naturally has to be friendly to him if he can be fawning. In the past, due to Gao Qiu's status as a rogue, he and Cai Jing were not very close to each other, but now he has the opportunity to be invited by the court.
, Gao Qiu thought for a while, and then said to Cai Jing: "Mr. Cai still needs to express his condolences. My son is loyal to the country, but he was assassinated by a desperate murderer in Hangzhou. It really makes people feel sad.
The criminal Wu Song was originally a national official, but he was a traitor and traitor. Such a rebellious and stubborn villain should have been taken to Bianjing earlier to be punished, as a warning to others. But in my opinion, then
The reason why the thief Wu Song dared to commit this act of committing rebellion was because he had old acquaintances in the court, so he acted recklessly and rampantly. In addition to Wu Song's crime, which was extremely heinous...Zemo was afraid of another person on the way to Bianjing.
If there is a thief who rescues him, all the officers and soldiers in the department in front of the palace can also be used by the prime minister. He must mobilize the troops to escort the rebel thief Wu Song to the capital, so that he can avenge his death."
When Cai Jing heard Gao Qiu's deliberately good words, he just smiled faintly, and then said: "The Taiwei has the intention to teach me how to be grateful. Since you and I are ministers in the same palace, we only care about what is clear in everything. You said that the traitor would harm my child's life."
Wu Song has an old acquaintance in the court, isn't he referring to Xiao Tang's son? The Taiwei is right. In the past, the traitors who were state officials were imprisoned. In addition to Wu Song, as far as I know, there are also Lin Chong and Yang.
Zhi, Xu Ning and other convicts who were forced to join the army fled. Among them, Lin Chong and others in Luocaoshanlin became well-known leaders of strong thieves... Wu Song dared to kill my child and commit such a heinous crime. I'm afraid there are many in all lands.
Strong men... and thieves in the court who are always disloyal and want to rob a prisoner on the way and save his life must also be on guard."
After hearing this, Gao Qiu's expression changed. In the past, he secretly used methods to murder Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and other court officials. This involved intrigues between himself and Xiao Tang, and he also wanted to eliminate dissidents in the former department of Bianjing Palace.
, and in the eyes of Cai Jing, a powerful prime minister of the generation who held great power in the court, Lin Chong and others were just low-ranking generals, and they were all reckless men who were not qualified to teach Cai Jing to worry about. At that time,
Gao Qiu's plan to eradicate the enemy failed, so he rebelled against Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning and others who either absconded on the way or escaped from the prison camp. However, he secretly sent someone to do this, and he was also dumb and eating Coptis chinensis.
Gao Qiu never expected that Cai Jing would secretly send people to find out the truth and find out the details of those generals who had old grudges with him. He was afraid that he was clearly fabricating charges to frame those officials he wanted to remove.
Cai Jing had already asked Cai Jing to find out clearly about the general.
Tong Guan immediately realized the meaning of Cai Jing's words, and immediately said: "If the minister said this, could it be that Xiao Tang, a boy who is known to be a sworn friend of the rebel Wu Song, dared to secretly pursue personal interests even though he was a minister of the country?"
Forming cliques, flouting the laws of the country, and secretly rescuing criminals who are punished according to law? But that Xiaotang son is also favored by the Holy Spirit. If we want to punish him, we must have real evidence."
Cai Jing smiled coldly and said: "Then Xiao Tang is more than just forming a clique for selfish reasons and flouting the laws of the country? Today I invited the Taiwei and the Prime Minister to discuss it secretly, but it is because what Xiao Tang's son did was rebellious and disorderly.
The emperor is kind but wants to bring chaos to the world, secretly gathering evil bandits to become thieves, this is a serious crime that accumulates evil and brings misfortune!"
After hearing this, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu couldn't help but look at each other. The powerful minister of the dynasty also wanted to punish Xiao Tang to death. Although it would make them happy, what Cai Jing said now was a bit exaggerated. If you think of Xiao Tang as a kid,
Unlike ordinary court officials who secretly rescued the prisoners who were responsible for their crimes out of concern for their loyalty, it is very possible that this could be used to seize him and make him fall out of favor in front of the officials and lose power in the court.
, but now I heard from Cai Jing, is Xiao Tangzhe planning to become the second An Lushan?
The relationship between such treasonous crimes as having the intention of treason and plotting to overthrow the country is too big. After all, Xiao Tang is also a second-grade official in the court, and even Tong Guan and Gao Qiu are both willing to do anything when it comes to harming others.
Although he is a character, he also knows very well that if there is no conclusive evidence for such a serious crime as rebellion, it is not easy to accuse Xiao Tang of being a traitor.
Cai Jing's narrow eyes were fixed on Tong Guan. Gao Qiu and Gao Qiu turned around and showed meaningful smiles. Then he said slowly: "The Prime Minister and the Taiwei don't know something. That Xiao
Although Tang Xiaoer was promoted by the officials, he was mixed up by the people who often used force to violate forbidden activities. Why did he call him a knight? The old man had already suspected that he had an affair with the green forest bandits, so he sent people to him.
When I went to Jingdong Road for an open inspection, I found out that there was a rebel bandit called "Iron-faced Hachi" in the Hebei and Shandong areas who was causing trouble in the area. Together with the thieves who gathered in Liangshanbo, Jeju, on Jingdong Road, they broke into several military states one after another, and even reached important places in Hebei.
Once the Daming Mansion was breached by the rebels, my husband and his virtuous son-in-law almost fell into the hands of the bandits...
Taiwei taught that Chen Du Yuhou also went to Jingdong Road to fight against the bandits. You probably know that the Jilu bandits were rampant. When the strong bandit leader Quan Yu conquered Yanggu County, the man I had appointed was from a local place.
The Xiansi officials and Jing Zhong, the Qinghe Tianshui Jiedu envoy, were both killed by thieves. Those mountain bandits gathered ruthless gangs, robbed the city, and committed great evil. They also thought that the imperial court did not know more about them...
But the flaw was exposed in Yanggu County, and I learned who the leader of that group of thieves was."
After Cai Jing spoke in a long voice, he clapped his hands to summon him. Outside the hall, Li Duguan immediately ushered in a commoner boy who must not have been more than 20 years old. Tong Guan and Gao Qiu could tell by looking at the boy's appearance and temperament that he was
He was just a commoner who hung out at the bottom of society. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart that if Cai Jing summoned this person, what important secrets could he learn about those mountain bandits?
Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu were all powerful officials present in the court for decades. They also had their own aura that made the young man feel uneasy. As soon as he saw the three of them, he knelt down on the ground.
Just kowtowing, Cai Jing's narrow eyes fell on the young man again, and said: "What you saw and heard in Yanggu County that day, and how did you report it to the envoy sent by Xiansi on Jingdong Road at the county government office?
, I would like to make it clear to the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief again that if there is even the slightest bit of concealment, and it is inconsistent with the previous confession, I will definitely not let him go leniently!"
The boy trembled all over, and then reported to Cai Jing and the other three people in detail: "The villain...the villain's nickname is Brother Qiao Yun, and he is a salesman from Yanggu County.
He was born a pear peddler, and has always made a living by selling new fruits in hotels in the county. In his spare time, he is often taken care of by a high-ranking official in the county called Ximen Qing and a low-ranking official..."
Brother Yun immediately told how he saw Xiao Tang entering the city in advance to visit Ximen Qing when the strong bandits invaded Yanggu County. Soon after, he was shocked to find out that the strong bandits from Qingzhou Mountains had broken through the city walls and hid under the piers of the Lion Bridge in the county.
, and then listened to the rough conversation between Ximen Qiu and Tong Guan before he was killed by the bandit leader "Quan Yu". Tong Guan explained it clearly to Gao Qiu. The more Gao Qiu listened, the more surprised he was, but he looked awkward on his face.
With some suspicion, I also thought that if I first accuse Xiao Tang Xiao'er of secretly gathering many thieves and soldiers with evil intentions...this boy is just a common man selling pears, but I hate Xiao Tang Xiao'er deeply.
According to Master Cai's method, it would be too far-fetched to find a date seller today and a preserve seller tomorrow to testify against a high-ranking official in the court. But if what this young man said is true, Zhemona Xiaotang will not only be against me.
...It turns out that you really had the intention to rebel!?
Gao Qiu secretly thought in his heart, and when he looked towards Cai Jing, he saw the calm expression of the then powerful prime minister. Looking at his expression, he felt confident. At any rate, Gao Qiu also knew that with Cai Jing's status and power, he would really have caught him.
With enough evidence to reveal that Xiao Tang is actually a traitor with treason, and relying on the power struggle between the DPRK and China to attack political opponents, Cai Jinghui's bargaining chip will definitely not be the only testimony reported by the pear seller in front of him.
Now that he and Tong Guan, two colleagues who had the same power in the court and had a grudge against Xiao Tang, were summoned to discuss it, Gao Qiu could probably guess that in addition to Brother Yun, the pear seller in Yanggu County, Cai Jing
There must also be a lot of conclusive evidence collected to prove Xiao Tang's serious crime of rebellion.
