Chapter 64 Resignation for the second time
Well--
You made my son cry?
Cai Jing's beard twitched, and his whole old face turned dark instantly.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji and King Yun Zhao Kai sitting next to him, Zhao Fujin, who was as beautiful as a little fairy, were stunned.
The elegant and dignified Empress Zheng, the luxurious and elegant Concubine Wang, and the boundlessly gorgeous Concubine Liu all opened their little mouths.
The spirited veteran Zhang Shangying, the fatuous and incompetent minister He Zhizhong, Cai Jing's yes-man Bai Shizhong and Wang Fu all opened their eyes in shock.
Cai You, the eldest son of Cai's family, who lived in a separate house from Cai Jing, and Taoist masters Zhang Xubai, Lin Lingsu and others all had playful expressions on their faces at the same time.
…
The Royal Garden, where the emperor and his ministers were enjoying themselves before, with drums and drums playing in unison, suddenly became eerily quiet because of Jiang Chen's words.
Not only did the surrounding maids and eunuchs dare not breathe, but even Jia Xiang and Liang Shicheng, who wanted to help Cai Jing kill and cripple Jiang Chen, did not dare to speak easily.
Like everyone else, he carefully observed Song Huizong Zhao Ji's reaction from the corner of his eyes.
At this time, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was looking at Jiang Chen with a gloomy expression.
In order to appease Cai Jing, after helping Jiang Chen deal with Wang Huan's brothers, he turned around and transferred the refined salt sales rights donated by Jiang Chen to Bai Shizhong, which was equivalent to letting Cai Jing pick Jiang Chen's peaches;
And after Cai Jing "repaid his kindness" and supported him in overhauling Longde Palace against all opinions, in order to encourage Cai Jing's behavior of sacrificing his personal reputation and focusing on loyalty, he unilaterally destroyed the verbal relationship with Jiang Chen.
It was agreed that at the request of Cai Jing, the right to sell Jinbo Yuye would be transferred to Wang Fu.
As for whether Wang Fu listened to Cai You or Cai Jing, he didn't care. Anyway, the more fierce the fight between Cai Jing and his son, the more secure his throne would be.
But he never expected that as soon as he helped Jiang Chen comfort Cai Jing, this ignorant young man would beat Cai Jing's son.
Isn't this a waste of my good intentions in protecting you?
Song Huizong felt displeased. After a moment of silence, he frowned and asked Jiang Chen, "Why did you beat Prime Minister Cai's son? Which son did you beat?"
Following Zhao Ji's question, Empress Zheng, Concubine Liu and others all looked at Jiang Chen.
Being stared at by so many people who stood at the top of the Northern Song Dynasty pyramid at the same time, even though Jiang Chen had always had a thick face and a dark heart, he couldn't help but feel a little hairy.
He bowed down to avoid the eyes of everyone, bowed his head to Song Huizong and said, "I am still not sure whether that person is the son of Prime Minister Cai, let alone his ranking."
Well……
"Then what are you asking for?"
Song Huizong asked with twitching corners of his mouth.
Next to him, the third prince Zhao Kai and the future most beautiful woman in the royal family, Zhao Fujin, also looked dumbfounded.
However, when Cai Jing and Jia Xiang heard this, their expressions suddenly became solemn, and a sentence emerged in their minds at the same time: When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
After realizing something was wrong, Jia Xiang caught Cai Jing's look and took one step forward to attack Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen would never give him a chance to attack. As soon as Song Huizong finished speaking, he spoke first:
“What happened is this: after the Jinbo Yuye was sold in the Liang Ling Department today, three brothers, Wang Mian, Wang Wen and Wang Zhen, took dozens of officials to the Jiaofang Division to cause trouble, demanding Wei Chen refund their membership fees;
But it happened that Jiaofangsi’s money was taken away by Zuo Zangku’s front foot and used to replenish the treasury!
So when Wei Chen saw Wang Mian, Wang Wen and Wang Bing wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Wei Chen, they promised that everyone would provide better wine and immortal drunkenness tomorrow. In addition, Zheng Yizhi, Wang Zhen, Liu Feng and other adults defended Wei Chen.
Weichen was lucky enough to escape the disaster!"
Hearing this, Song Huizong Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning and glanced at Cai Jing: Didn't you say that you just wanted to sharpen Jiang Chen so that he could be better used by me in the future? Why does it seem like you are helping the Wang family to harm him now?
Well……
Cai Jing's face was expressionless, but he was already thinking about who should be blamed.
Jia Xiang couldn't help but angrily scolded Jiang Chen: "Don't answer the question, just tell the important point!"
"I just want to explain clearly the cause and effect!"
Jiang Chen grinned at Jia Xiang and then continued:
"In order to brew Immortal Drunk, Weichen bought the necessary items and prepared to go home and study overnight. Unexpectedly, he encountered Wang Wen and Wang Bing robbing a girl on the street outside Changqing Tower.
When encountering something like this, Wei Chen, as an official of the imperial court, would naturally step in to stop it and ask for the reason.
Unexpectedly, they actually said that they were under the instruction of Cai Chi, the fifth son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and instigated a small Yameni to come and slap the minister in the street.
Wei Chen thought that Cai Xiang loved the people like his own son and was very strict in his upbringing. It was absolutely impossible for him to have a son who robbed civilian girls in broad daylight and beat a court official in the street, so he was beaten to a bruise!"
"Is it swollen?"
Cai Jing's old face twitched, and the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger.
The little fairy Zhao Fujin asked Zhao Kai in a low voice with a cute face: "Brother Sanhuang, why is it swollen? Didn't you say you cried before?"
Zhao Kai often accompanied Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty together with Zhao Fujin, and he had a very good relationship with her. Hearing this, he replied dumbfounded: "It hurts when you get swollen, and you cry after it hurts!"
"Oh~!"
Zhao Fujin played a long note, feeling that he had learned a lot more today.
But after everyone listened to the conversation between these living treasures, they couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Haha, cough cough..."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
Amidst the laughter that could no longer cover up his coughing, Cai Jing felt depressed.
This was the first time since he became prime minister that he had suffered such a humiliating situation. He could not even speak out or defend himself.
Bai Shizhong and Wang Fu, who was known for his eloquence, didn't know how to rescue Cai Jing for a moment, because after Jiang Chen pointed out the fact that Cai Ji raped a civilian girl, he turned around and said that he was not Cai Jing's son at all.
This is how to do?
Without determining Cai Chi's identity, there is no way to challenge Jiang Chen.
But who dares to blame Prime Minister Cai’s son for robbing civilian girls?
Cai Jing, Jia Xiang and Bai Shizhong were all dumbfounded!
Seeing this, Mr. He Zhizhong, who was suppressed by Cai Jing and dared not say anything all day long, secretly glanced at Cai Jing with joy in his eyes.
Immediately, the Imperial Garden became quiet again.
Jiang Chen didn't dare to go too far.
After all, the new laws that Song Huizong vigorously promoted were all supported by Cai Jing. Others could not help Song Huizong get enough money for squandering, otherwise Cai Jing would not have resigned as prime minister several times and quickly reinstated himself.
Therefore, he accepted it and bowed to Cai Jing and said: "Prime Minister Cai, this official is guilty! No matter whether that little yamen is your son or not, after he reported your name, your subordinate should not fight back.
Moreover, Wei Chen thought about it later and realized that it was Wang Wen and Wang Zhen who really raped the women of the country. The little yamen who called himself Cai Chi was only used and instigated by them!
Therefore, I am willing to retire and return home to apologize to Prime Minister Cai!"
Chapter completed!
