Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters pressing step by step
Condescendingly, Zhao Ji glanced at Zhu Meng, especially when he saw Zhu Meng's surprised and grateful look. He sighed in his heart, then nodded slightly to Zhu Meng, but still said: "If it weren't for Cai Qing this time,
If I trust you, I will not be able to spare you based on the sins you have committed."
Zhu Meng kowtowed to Zhao Ji, and even blood oozed from his forehead. Zhu Meng suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "I will definitely die for your Majesty."
Shaking his sleeves, Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said: "I don't want you to die, as long as you control the vanguard army for me and assist Zhang Shuye to bring peace to the south of the Yangtze River for me."
After saying that, he turned around and Zhao Ji said slowly: "This is your last chance. If you can do it well, the land south of the Yangtze River will still be your place in the future. Otherwise, you can come and see me."
While speaking, Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "Go down and clean up, and go to Jiangnan immediately."
Zhu Meng lay on the ground and saluted Zhao Ji with a look of reluctance on his face: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body. I will go now."
After Zhu Meng left, Zhao Ji slowly turned around, and now Cai Jing on the side said: "Your Majesty clearly values Zhu Meng very much, why are you so..."
Zhao Ji glanced at Cai Jing, as if he didn't want to mention Zhu Meng's matter anymore. He looked at Cai Jing intently and said: "Cai Qing, I ordered people to investigate the whereabouts of Liang Qing's family. Not long ago, the Imperial City Division submitted a
Report."
As he spoke, Zhao Ji nodded to a young Huangmen serving on the side, who quickly took out a report and presented it carefully.
The report from the Imperial City Division can be said to have gone straight to the palace. If someone from the Imperial City Division had not leaked it, it would be difficult for even a powerful person like Cai Jing to know about it.
After taking a look at the report, Cai Jing reached out to take it. After opening it, he glanced at it with a look of solemnity in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said: "This...if this news is true, then Chu Yi is really...
That’s so audacious.”
Zhao Ji sneered and said: "Not only is he bold, I think he wants to rebel."
Cai Jing did not dare to answer the conversation. This should not be answered randomly, but Zhao Ji was just venting his anger, because the news from the Imperial City Division mentioned that Liang Shicheng's disappearance was very likely to be related to Chu Yi.
Nowadays, Liang Shicheng has seen neither life nor corpses. It has been such a long time. If Liang Shicheng had not been killed by Chu Yi, he would have crawled back to the capital.
There was a hint of worry in Zhao Ji's eyes. He glanced at Cai Jing and said, "I'm not worried about Chu Yi's rebellion. As a servant, even if he rebels, few people in the world will respond. It will only cost more."
I just want to put some thought into exterminating them, but the ones I’m worried about are those heavenly beings from the clan.”
It was only in front of a minister whom he trusted like Cai Jing that Zhao Ji expressed his biggest worry.
As Zhao Ji said himself, he is not afraid of rebellion by people like Wang Qing, Tian Hu and even Fang La. Even if someone as strong as Chu Yi rebels, Zhao Ji is not that worried. What he is most worried about is the members of the royal family.
God.
A few years ago, in order to control the power in the court, the Queen Mother tried her best to transfer out the clan gods, leaving only Zongzheng Zhao Yu of the clan to be in charge of the capital.
Therefore, the power of the royal family appears to be somewhat weak among the capital. Otherwise, with the combined strength of the royal family and the whole country, there would be no problem in producing a few deities.
If this were not the case, the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago, and even the world may not be able to stand firm.
Cai Jing said slowly: "Could it be that those old princes want to return to Beijing?"
As a deity from the clan, it can be said that when you become a deity, you will be crowned a king by the royal family. Therefore, it is said that all deities from the royal family have royal titles.
Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said: "Not long ago, several princes jointly signed a letter, saying that they were getting old and wanted to return to Beijing for retirement!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ji showed a bit of sneer on his lips, and said coldly: "Even if I am dizzy, I will not believe their lies about returning to the capital to retire. I think they want to return to the capital to cause trouble for me.
"
Cai Jing couldn't help but show a bit of worry in his eyes. Those royal celestial beings were all heroes of the royal family. After all, if they weren't heroes for a moment, they probably wouldn't have achieved the status of celestial beings with the support of the royal family.
It can be said that any one of those people is much better than today's Zhao Ji.
If those few people return to Beijing, the first thing Cai Jing will think about is whether he can keep his job by then.
What exactly he did is not clear to others, but he himself doesn’t know it. If the world calls him a traitor, it is not unfair to him at all. If those princes really return to Beijing by then
Well, if Zhao Ji can check and balance those few, then that's fine, but once he can't suppress them, it's good for Zhao Ji to become a puppet. Otherwise, something unexpected will happen with the new emperor ascending the throne.
And by that time, I am afraid that my prime minister will die without a burial place.
Taking a deep breath, Cai Jingdang said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty must never agree to the requests of those princes."
After taking a look at Cai Jing, Zhao Ji was not surprised at all by Cai Jing's reaction. It could be said that Cai Jing and he were in the same boat. If he could not run away from him, he would certainly not be able to run away from Cai Jing. With Cai Jing's reputation, as long as he, the emperor, came out
Unexpectedly, keeping Cai Jing in his custody did not end well.
That's why Zhao Ji has so much trust in Cai Jing, because he is the only one Cai Jing can rely on. Once he loses his trust, Cai Jing will die miserably.
Nodding slightly towards Cai Jing, Zhao Ji said: "Of course I won't agree, but I can refuse once or twice, but if they insist on returning to Beijing, I'm afraid they will refuse again and again.
…”
As he spoke, Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and said, "So Cai Qing, do you have any way to relieve me of my worries? It would be best to solve this problem once and for all?"
Hearing what Zhao Ji said, Cai Jing couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on his face. That involved several royal heavenly beings. Not to mention the noble status of these people, the identity of that person alone made Cai Jing extremely afraid.
Although it is not difficult to find a few heavenly beings among the civil servants and generals in the Song Dynasty court, these heavenly beings may not be used by Cai Jing.
It can be said that Cai Jing's biggest shortcoming is his lack of cultivation. The left and right prime ministers in the Song Dynasty were often supreme masters or strong men in the realm of heaven and man. However, when it comes to Cai Jing, Cai Jing is only one of the masters.
The cultivation of the environment.
Perhaps the master's level of cultivation can be regarded as a good player when looking at the world. Even starting a sect is not a problem. However, Cai Jing's position is different. His position is not so easy to sit in. If it weren't for
If Zhao Ji had always supported him, Cai Jing would have died countless times.
Stroking his beard, Cai Jing's mind was racing. Suddenly, he saw a flash of coldness in Cai Jing's eyes. He looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way."
It can be seen that those clan gods have become Zhao Ji's heartache. Suddenly, when they heard Cai Jing's words, their eyes lit up and they looked at Cai Jing.
Cai Jing was suffocated by Zhao Ji's gaze. He looked towards the south and said, "Has your Majesty forgotten the turmoil in Jiangnan, Wang Qing in Huaixi, Tian Hu in Hebei and other thieves?"
Zhao Ji was just stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately. He looked at Cai Jing, his eyes gradually showed light and said: "The Qing family means that I want to kill someone with a borrowed knife..."
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Now that the world is in turmoil, there are powerful people among the thieves who are causing trouble. As a clan member, I should share your worries and eliminate the thieves for Your Majesty."
Zhao Ji high-fived and praised: "What the Qing family said is right, and it is just as it is."
However, Zhu Meng said that he had complied with the emperor's will, so he immediately packed up, took a few of his confidants and headed straight to the south of the Yangtze River without stopping.
Zhu Meng is known as the King of Jiangnan in Jiangnan. After all, it is not easy for Zhu Meng to be sent to the land of Jiangnan by Zhao Ji.
I am afraid no one noticed that Zhu Meng had broken through to the realm of heaven and man not long ago. If not, Zhu Meng would not have dared to go on the road without a large army at his side.
You have to know that once his whereabouts are leaked, based on his notoriety, there will be no peace in this journey. I don't know how many self-proclaimed chivalrous people in the world will come to kill him to make him famous.
A figure followed closely beside Zhu Meng, but it was a strong and muscular man. It was obvious at a glance that this man was from the army.
This strong man was facing Zhu Meng and said, "Supervisor, we are going to the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid Chu Yi will not hand over the general power so easily."
There was a calm look on Zhu Meng's face, and he nodded slowly and said: "That's natural. Chu Yi has always been arrogant. Even the emperor doesn't take him seriously. It's natural that we want to take over the military power from him."
It’s not that simple.”
But soon a sneer appeared on Zhu Meng's face and he said: "It's a pity that Chu Yi, in order to frighten the Manichaeism, suppressed the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan in the first battle. His vitality must have been seriously damaged. At this time when Chu Yi was weak,
This is also the best time for us to force Chu Yi to hand over military power."
Zhu Meng has been in Jiangnan for a long time and is very familiar with the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan. It can even be said that Zhu Meng has interacted with the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan, so he knows the four masters and disciples better than anyone else.
What is the strength?
Anyway, Zhu Meng didn't believe that Chu Yi was still safe after suppressing the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan. If not, Zhu Meng would never accept Zhao Ji's order so happily. Otherwise, Chu Yi would be intact.
If you come here to take over the army, you are seeking death.
Especially when Liang Shicheng disappeared, Zhu Meng did not want to follow in Liang Shicheng's footsteps.
Liang Shicheng was said to have disappeared, but in fact he died at the hands of someone else. This is no longer a secret. Anyone with better information would already know about Liang Shicheng's death.
Jiaxing City
Chu Yi has been in Jiaxing City these days. Chu Yi rarely goes out on weekdays, which makes many people subconsciously think that Chu Yi is really injured.
Even many of Chu Yi's generals believed that Chu Yi was injured in order to capture the four Zen Masters Fayan and was currently recovering from his injuries.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Zhao Ji and Zhu Men to think that Chu Yi was injured. After all, even Chu Yi's people thought so, let alone others.
At this moment, Yang Zhi was looking worriedly at Chu Yi, who was looking at the intelligence that Dongchang had just received not long ago. When Chu Yi raised his head, Yang Zhi immediately said: "Admiral, your Majesty has sent Zhu Meng to take over the army this time.
, this is basically the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden..."
Chu Yi just smiled slightly and glanced at the people present.
Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Lu Da, Hua Rong and others also rushed over after hearing the news. They already knew that Zhu Meng had come to take over the army in accordance with the emperor's order.
Wu Song snorted coldly and said: "I, Wu Song, only obey the orders of the admiral. I don't want Wu Song to obey other people's orders."
After Wu Song finished speaking, Lu Da and Lu Junyi nodded and said, "Yes, he is Zhu Men, and he wants us to obey his orders. It is simply a delusion."
Regarding Zhu Meng, no one present took him seriously. Zhu Meng's reputation in the land of Jiangnan is simply as bad as the wind. Zhu Meng has been suffering in the land of Jiangnan for a long time.
It can be said that if the emperor Zhao Ji really killed Zhu Meng in public in the south of the Yangtze River, the safekeeping would be able to calm at least 30% to 50% of the public resentment.
Chu Yi gently knocked on the table. Amid the expectant gazes of everyone, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I will go and meet with the King of Jiangnan."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, many people's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although they didn't know how Chu Yi would respond, looking at Chu Yi's attitude, it was obvious that he would not hand over the military power so easily.
Yang Zhidang said excitedly: "Admiral, please give me half a day. In just half a day, Dongchang will find out Zhu Meng's whereabouts."
Zhu Meng came all the way low-key, so it is not easy to find out Zhu Meng's whereabouts. However, after so many years of development, Dongchang cannot be underestimated.
Just as Yang Zhi promised, within half a day, when Chu Yi and others appeared in the study again, Yang Zhi had already found out clearly about Zhu Meng's whereabouts.
All I could hear was Yang Zhidao: "Back to the Admiral, Zhu Meng and his party have entered Jiangnan a few days ago. According to the speed at which they are traveling, they will be able to arrive at Xin'an Town tomorrow at most."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "In this case, Lao Wusong, Lu Junyi and you two will follow me."
Although the others wanted to go with Chu Yi, since Chu Yi had already ordered Wu Song and Lu Junyi, the rest of them naturally stayed behind in Jiaxing City.
Although the Manichaeans said they were much more peaceful these days, they kept making small moves, clearly trying to test the reality of Jiaxing City.
After all, there are rumors everywhere right now that Chu Yi is injured. Manichaeism has suffered such a big loss. It would be a lie to say that they are willing to do so. They are just temporarily forced by Chu Yi's power and do not dare to do anything else.
.
But if there was really a chance, how could a hero like Fang La give up so easily?
Therefore, in the past few days, some Manichaean troops who were not known to have fled from other places, or were secretly sent by Fang La, appeared near Jiaxing City.
Jiaxing City, as the landing place of the vanguard army, naturally cannot allow any mistakes. Chu Yi took away Lu Junyi and Wu Song. Jiaxing City still has Lu Da, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others who are still on the battlefield. Even if it is
If the Manichaeans really attacked the city, it would be enough to protect the city of Jiaxing.
