Chapter 185: The Prelude to the Big Brawl in Jiaofang
As for how the people in Jiangnan were doing, Song Huizong didn't care. As long as the rebellion could be quelled as soon as possible, no one would rebel anymore. At worst, he could just recruit more soldiers. Anyway, with Jiang Chen there, he would not be afraid of not being able to survive.
Based on this mentality, he said in a plain tone: "This matter should be thoroughly investigated! I wonder who you all think is appropriate to send?"
"The old minister is willing to go!"
He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong and Zhang Shangying stood up at the same time.
Getting rid of Zhu Xie can not only bring Cai Jing down, but also win the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, gain unprecedented reputation in the scholars, and even push them directly to the top, so they are all very active.???
Um-
Three old men!
Do you want to kill me that much?
Cai Jing's blood pressure soared.
The reason why he dared to ask someone to investigate Zhu Xie was that he did not believe that anyone could find any powerful evidence in Jiangnan where Tong Guan and Zhu Xie were completely controlled.
But He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong and Zhang Shangying have all higher official positions than Zhu Xie. If tough measures are used, the result will be difficult to predict.
To be on the safe side, he glanced at Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally and suggested to Song Huizong: "The official family, He Xiang and others are prejudiced against Zhu Xie. If they go to investigate, they will be biased.
Therefore, the old minister recommends Zong Ze to go! Since Jiang Chen said that Zong Ze is the reincarnation of Lu Xian, I think there must be inhuman ability, and the results of the investigation will definitely convince everyone!”
After saying that, Cai Jing looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and said, "Chairman Jiang, what do you think?"
He knew that sending his own people would definitely be strongly opposed by Jiang Chen, Zhang Shangying and others;
He was uneasy when he sent Zhang Shangying's people over. Thinking of the result of investigating Zong Ze, he seemed to have nothing to do with Jiang Chen and others, so he chose Zong Ze in the second best way.
He believed that with Zong Ze's humble official position and wealth background, he could not make any noise in Jiangnan.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and guessed Cai Jing’s thoughts.
As a latecomer, he naturally knew Zong Ze's strength and personality. He was afraid that the old man would not only check Zhu Xie when he went to Jiangnan, but even Tong Guan would not let him go.
But in that case, will Zhu Xie and Tong Guan let Zong Ze come back alive?
It is really not cost-effective to bet on Zong Ze's life in order to destroy Zhu Xie!
Jiang Chen shook his head secretly and said to Song Huizong: "The official family, since Cai Xiang and Wang Shangshu tried their best to protect Zhu Xie, and they also affirmed that the Jiangnan Rebellion could be pacified within a few days, there is no need to hurry to verify Zhu Xie.
The most urgent task is to resettle refugees as soon as possible to avoid affecting the surrounding Huainan and Jinghu lands and affecting the autumn harvest and taxes!"
"Not bad! This is reasonable for the good minister!
The old minister recommended Zong Ze as the Huainan Observation and Disposal Envoy, resettled refugees from Jiangnan on the spot and formed a wing army! This not only prevents a large number of refugees from entering Bianjing, but also prepares for the future and prevents problems before they happen!"
According to the agreement with Jiang Chen yesterday, Zhang Shangying issued a request to Song Huizong and began to pacify Fang La.
"Observation and disposal?"
Cai Jing sneered: "Zong Ze was just a mere magistrate of Dengzhou before he retired. He was directly promoted to the fifth-rank high position of the Observer. Lord Zhang, are you drunk?"
"Zong Ze has been an official for decades and has always had outstanding political achievements. He will benefit the people everywhere he goes. What's wrong with such an extraordinary talent promotion?
If the old minister remembers correctly, it took less than nine months for Cai Xie to be promoted to the high position of a fourth-rank senior official in the court?"
Zhang Shangying retorted, smiling and not smiling.
"you……"
Cai Jing was so angry that his old eyes glared, and he was about to tremble his grandfather's majesty and scolded him.
However, Song Huizong was impatient when he heard this, and raised his hand to interrupt and said, "Okay! Let's make a decision after he comes to Beijing to report it!
Yuan Chang ordered Zhu Xie to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan before the autumn harvest, and never affect the autumn harvest and autumn taxes."
"Yes, the old minister obeys the order!"
Cai Jing bowed and knew that Zhu Xie had barely passed the level, so he couldn't help looking at Jiang Chen and Zhang Shangying with a mocking look on his face.
Zhang Shangying glanced at Cai Jing unhappily.
Jiang Chen grinned at Cai Jing and said with bad intentions: "Cai Xiang, in the ancient Chinese classics, in addition to saying that Zhu Jie was the reincarnation of Zhu Yan, he also mentioned protecting his master.
It is said that the ancestral tomb of his master will be dug by Fang La, so it is better to send someone to strictly protect it! Otherwise, it will be unbeautiful to affect your ancestors!"
"Little treacherous, you are arrogant!"
Cai Jing was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He said in anger at Song Huizong:
"The official family, Jiang Chen was arrogant because of his favor, and humiliated his ancestors in front of you and cursed the old ministers. If the official family did not deal with him strictly today, I, my husband..."
"Don't be anxious about Cai Xiang!"
Seeing that Cai Jing was about to use his big move, Jiang Chen hurriedly interrupted and smiled innocently at Song Huizong, saying, "The official family, the empress do not curse Cai Xiang. This is really written in the ancient Chinese mythology.
If this incident did not happen before the Fang La Rebellion was put down, the Wei Me is willing to apologize to Cai Xiang and let him deal with it!
If I get reminded by Weichen, Cai Xiang’s ancestral tomb has been dug up, then Weichen begged the official to give Weichen a sword, so that Weichen will go to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and investigate Zhu Yan’s affairs!"
"Yes! I'm sure this matter is correct!"
Song Huizong looked amused and crying.
Cai Jing was so disgusted that he couldn't help but angrily at Jiang Chen with an old face: "If my ancestral tomb would not be dug up, I want you to resign from your post as chairman to work as a craftsman to work as a craftsman. You must not interfere in the government affairs, nor slander the court officials!"
"Can!"
Jiang Chen agreed confidently.
Um?
Why are the little treacherous and so confident?
Could it be that my ancestral tomb will be really dug up?
When Cai Jing thought of a certain possibility, he felt that he was in a bad mood in an instant. The first thing he did when he left Yanfu Palace was to send someone back to guard his father's grave closely.
Song Huizong was even more shocked and left Jiang Chen alone.
After Cai Jing and others left, he asked with a smile: "Good minister, why are you so sure that Cai Xiang's ancestral tomb will be dug out by Fang La? Are you not afraid of becoming a craftsman after losing?"
Well--
Shouldn’t you care about the people of Jiangnan first?
He is really a fool!
Jiang Chen secretly complained, but said with great loyalty on his face: "It is no difference between being able to do things for the master, being a craftsman or a chairman for his disciples.
The disciples also knew that when Cai was in trouble for a while, Zhu Xie and his father Zhu Chong not only gave Cai Xiang a mansion, but also gave beautiful women a treasure, and were regarded as their benefactor.
Therefore, when his disciples told him that Zhu Jie was Zhu Yan's reincarnation, he would definitely offend Cai Xiang.
But in order to help Master clear away the hidden monsters in the court as soon as possible and let Master ascend to heaven as soon as possible, the disciples don’t care about so much!"
Um-
"It is not ascending to heaven, but returning to heaven! Good minister, please pay attention to your words!"
Song Huizong glared at Jiang Chen with annoyance.
However, he was confused because of Jiang Chen's words. In addition, Concubine Liu has been inconvenient these days, so he couldn't help but say irritable:
