Hearing these words, Cai Jing's old, dark face suddenly became distorted, and his hands, which were burdened by his skills, were clenched into fists.
Several of Cai Liulang's confidants followed him and saw Prime Minister Cai's eyes glowing fiercely and his face ferocious.
They were all quite scared at the moment, but with a father on one side and a baby on the other, what could I and others do, just quietly move away and stay away.
"What do they need your advice on? How to eat?"
Cai Jing finally managed to control his temper, but in the end he still couldn't hold it in completely and couldn't help but make a mean remark.
As soon as these words came out, Cai Laoliu felt very evil, but considering that although his father was old, his skills were no match for him, so he decided to convince others with reason.
"Haha... What kind of person is this kid? How can he talk about such vulgar topics? Dad, you'd better go back to the house and rest quickly.
The kid still has something important to do, let’s talk about it after the kid comes back. "
"Get out!" Cai Jing finally stopped holding back and spat out one word with a dark face.
Seeing the veins popping out on his father's forehead, Cai Laoliu silently bowed to his father and then ran away, his movements as agile as ball lightning.
"This bastard!" Cai Jing said angrily and tiredly. When he turned around, he saw the group of frightened Lao Liu's confidants and waved his hands in disgust.
After these annoying bastards disappeared, Cai Jing felt a little relieved.
But when he thought of the in-depth conversation between the official and himself today, Cai Jing's brows furrowed deeply again.
The officials summoned him for a private chat today, and as expected, they talked about such a thing, which really caught Cai Jing off guard.
The first thought is, could it be that the official family has become indifferent to their favor?
Later, officials talked about it, saying that in order to solve the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, they first reset the three divisions and waited until the three divisions were completely separated from other ministries.
He would think of a way to make the Three Divisions the new third division of the Song Dynasty. This kind of operation really forced Cai Jing to admit that it was a very clumsy operation, but it did have a high possibility of success.
But the problem is that the officials are planning to grant the posts of those three envoys to Deputy Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi.
You know, Zhao Tingzhi has been suppressed by himself before and is a little desperate. I am afraid that it won't be long before he takes the initiative to resign.
At that time, as the ruler, he would be able to wipe out all the opposition forces in the court.
But now, if the officials do this, won't it make those on the wall in the court think that Zhao Tingzhi is good again?
In this way, one's own authority will inevitably be challenged.
This made Cai Jing, who was accustomed to controlling the court, quite unhappy. However, at that time, it was not easy to confront the officials head-on. After all, his power came from the trust of the officials.
But how is it possible to make oneself give in voluntarily?
Come to think of it, if the official family never gets a definite answer from itself, then it is very likely that they will bring this matter to the court directly out of anger.
Thinking of this, the corners of Cai Jing's mouth slightly raised in contempt. If this is really the case, then let the officials see the chaos in the court again.
Let him know deeply that without his support and suppression, the officialdom would never be able to achieve anything.

"It's really lively in the court today..."
After returning home, they had just finished their meal when their father Gao Qiu's words attracted the attention of Gao Zhang and Huang.
"Zhang'er, do you know that the official plan to reset the three chief ministers immediately caused an explosion in the entire court."
Hearing this, Gao Zhang's eyelids jumped and he looked at his father with a dumbfounded expression. He never expected that his master would be so brave.
What kind of nonsense is this? Who gave the master the confidence to dare to fire a map cannon directly above the court.
You must know that the Third Chief Envoy has already usurped the rights of the various ministries. If you want to reset the Third Chief Envoy, you must first do it secretly.
In other words, we need to have good dealings with those important ministers in private, make good exchanges of interests, and then do it after weakening the resistance to the greatest extent.
Only in this way can we have the possibility of success, and Master does this, could it be said...
After Gao Qiu said a word, he saw his resourceful son lost in thought, and soon showed a look of surprise.
From the previous exchanges, we already knew that the good strategy for resetting the three secretaries and reforming the imperial examination system came from Gao Qiu, who was the successor of his beloved son.
Of course I am very interested and want to know the analysis of my biological son.
"Zhang'er, have you thought of the reason?"
"Haier estimated that the officials and Prime Minister Cai could not reach an agreement. But they still felt unwilling to accept it, so they directly brought the issue to the table."
"After all, Prime Minister Cai is full of party members and minions in the court. If he can join forces with the officials, such a situation will definitely not occur."
"Sure enough, my son's analysis makes sense. No wonder Cai Jing didn't say a word today. As a father, I still feel strange. It turns out that the root lies here."
Gao Qiu stroked his long beard and saw that Huang had put all his attention on the infant Erlang.
Then he lowered his voice and started analyzing in a low voice with Gao Zhang.
"Besides, how can Zhao Tingzhi be Cai Jing's opponent since he defeated Cai Jing and regained his position?"
"Then Zhao Tingzhi is retreating steadily. His position as Deputy Prime Minister is obviously in danger."
"I'm afraid that if nothing happens, he will soon be unable to withstand Cai Jing's pressure and become an official, or he will stay away from home."
"I didn't expect that the officials would suddenly come and entrust Zhao Tingzhi with this important task and divide the authority from Cai Jing."
"My father is wise, that's true. It would be strange if he, Cai Jing, is willing to let a political opponent who is about to be defeated by him share his power."
Gao Zhang bowed sincerely to his father. It must be said that although his father had always kept a low profile.
He just tried his best to guard the three-thirds of land given to him by the government, and did not participate too much in the court battles.
But it does not mean that he has no political acumen and can calmly analyze the current situation in the court. This is much better than many inactive officials.
Mrs. Huang on the side held her young son in her arms and looked at the father and son in front of her, her beloved son and her husband, who were giving instructions and commenting on the turmoil in the court.
This scene really made her, a woman who is both a wife and a mother, feel very happy.
At this moment, I felt the movement in my arms, lowered my head and looked into my arms.
Erlang has a handsome face, and his features are quite similar to his elder brother's, but I don't know if he can be as successful as his elder brother.
However, considering the miraculous achievements of her beloved son Gao Zhang, Huang still shook his head and gently teased his second child with his fingers.
It would be great to have a Wenquxing in Lao Gao's family who is far better than his predecessor. As for the second child, he can be like his father Gao Qiu. As a mother, she is willing to burn more incense candles and paper money.
Just as Mr. Huang was deep in thought, an evil wind blew from nowhere and blew through the Gao family ancestral hall. All the shiny ancestral tablets seemed to rustle with it...
