As soon as Cai Jing finished speaking, he heard Yang Jian's high-pitched voice.
"Xiang Cai, the officials are waiting for you."
Seeing Yang Jian's look towards him, Cai Jing felt a chill in his heart and couldn't care about Gao Zhang, so he could only lift up his front and go straight up the steps.
Gao Zhang watched Cai Jing walk away quickly, looked at his back, showed a strange smile, and then walked towards the palace gate.
Cai Jing walked into the imperial study room and saw the official with rosy cheeks who seemed to have drunk alcohol sitting there with an indifferent expression, looking at the memorial.
I can only bite the bullet and go to the official's house to ask for peace. "Old ministers visit the official family..."
"Stay safe, Cai Aiqing, how did you handle the matter of the Third Secretary?"
Official Zhao Ji asked without raising his head.
"Officials and veterans are stepping up supervision, but..."
Cai Jinggong lowered his head and responded carefully with careful words and sentences. He wanted to show that he worked hard and devotedly to serve the officials, but he also faced the pressure of hundreds of officials.
But before he could say a few words, he heard Guan Jia suddenly speak.
"These bastards are completely ridiculous. Zhang Aiqing has already left the court and is conscientiously managing the civil affairs in Haozhou with outstanding political achievements.
They actually refused to let go and are still provoking impeachment..."
Cai Jing raised his head with astonishment on his face, which made the official so angry. Haozhou, could it be the guy named Zhang?
I saw the official raised his head, his face as sinking as water, and then he put the memorial on the table.
"This is what you ordered, Cai Qing..."
Cai Jing only glanced at it, and his heart suddenly trembled. The person being impeached was indeed Zhang Shangying. What a coincidence, he was the one who instigated it.
"Officials, how can an old minister do such a thing? Please investigate clearly..."
"Since I'm not in love with you, then it's just those ignorant people who are criticizing me indiscriminately."
While talking, official Zhao Ji wrote down a handwritten letter and handed it to Cai Jingdao.
"It will be of great use to me to remove that Zhang Aiqing from the Yuanyou Party."
Cai Jing looked at the handwriting, raised his head in shock, and looked at the official Zhao Ji in front of him.
He saw the official Zhao Ji standing up and his big hand falling on his shoulder. "Do your work well and don't waste all my hard work."
Then he walked straight out of the imperial study, leaving Cai Jing standing there stupidly holding the handwriting in silence.
After a long while, he lifted up his front and walked out of the study. When he came to the door, he saw Yang Jian standing outside the door.
"Does Prime Minister Cai want to meet with officials?"
"The official has an oral order. He wants to clean up the house and no one can disturb it. Prime Minister Cai should please come back. Don't make it difficult for our family."
#####
Cai Jing opened his mouth, which eventually turned into a deep sigh. He cupped his hands towards Yang Jian and slowly walked down the steps. At this moment, his heart felt as uncomfortable as a hot coal.
Zhang Shangying relied on the merits of his elder brother Zhang Tangying to dominate the court. Since he ascended the throne as an official, he has been constantly against him.
In the end, it was Cai, who was more favored by the emperor, and secretly asked the censor to impeach him, and finally expelled him from the court.
Of course, as a leader with only one hand covering the sky, how could he be so reviled in front of his face and relegated to his opponent, how could he just let it go?
Therefore, Mr. Cai naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury by adding the Yuanyou Party member to this animal.
He also ordered his minions to fuck Zhang Shangying from time to time, making sure not to give him a chance to turn over.
I originally thought that I would never see Zhang Shangying again in this life, but who would have thought that the official's words just now made Cai Jing feel a toothache.
If he were to be removed from the Yuanyou Party, wouldn't it be telling all the officials in the court that the officials were unhappy that someone was dealing with Zhang Shangying?
Now, because of the incident involving the three envoys, the officials are very dissatisfied with themselves.
If Zhao Tingzhi can't stand it, I sincerely ask you to become an official. The officials moved to replace Zhang Shangying...
When he thought that his talents and abilities were far superior to Zhao Tingzhi's, if he entered the court, he would definitely confront him tit for tat.
But he has already made the officials very dissatisfied. I am afraid that by then, not only his position in the court, but also his own position will be in jeopardy.
After walking slowly out of the palace and calling out to his followers several times, Cai Jing finally recovered from his trance.
It wasn't until Cai Jing got into the carriage and left that the eunuch who had been watching Cai Jing's every move turned around and headed towards the palace.
The official Zhao Ji had already put on a Taoist robe and was sitting lazily on the couch. After listening to the eunuch's report, a smug smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This strategy is really useful, Yang Jian..."
"My servant is here, what orders do you have from the official?"
"Go and inform the Imperial City Division that I will expel Zhang Aiqing from the Yuanyou Party."
"We must make all the officials in the court feel that I may return Zhang Aiqing to the court at any time."
"In addition, I will give Zhang Aiqing three hundred pieces of silk and a cart of precious medicinal materials, and send them to Zhang Aiqing in Haozhou..."
After listening to the official's instructions, Yang Jian also bowed to the official with sincerity.
I would like to ask Cai Jing if he is afraid of the official's serial tactics?
#####
But after all is said and done, it still has to do with the No. 1 Scholar being able to enlighten the officials just by relying on a memorial to impeach Zhang Shangying.
Let the officials learn from it how to solve the current dilemma of setting up three ministers but failing.
Just looking at Cai Jing's devastated look when he left today, it must have filled him with fear.
When the official arrangements are fully rolled out, his gang of hawks and minions will probably be in panic.
After all, Zhang Shangying has a strong character and always takes revenge. If he enters the court and Cai Jing leaves, those minions will definitely be in danger.
The next day, the news that the officials wanted to remove Zhang Shangying and Yuanyou from the party had become the most hotly discussed topic among the court officials.
All the members of Cai Jing's party were in panic all day long, and they went to Prime Minister Cai's mansion to find out what happened.
It also made Cai Jing very anxious and troubled.
But within a few days, news came out that the officials took pity on Zhang Shangying in Haozhou to govern the people. He had made outstanding achievements and was praised by the people, and they were very happy.
Silk medicinal materials were specially given to commend him.
The news reached Cai Jing's ears, making him unable to sit still.
But at this time, Guan Jia was claiming to be ill for days, and Cai Jing didn't even have a chance to see Guan Jia.
Looking at the little eunuch in front of him with a flattering smile on his face, he explained to himself that the official's family was ill and no one was there.
Cai Jing, who stood at the entrance of the palace for a long time, finally returned to the carriage with a cold face.
As the carriage swayed, Cai Jing's face became increasingly ugly.
