It's said to be a plan, but it's actually not complicated.
At this time, the more precise and convoluted something is, the lower its error tolerance rate will be.
Therefore, Li Qian's method is also very straightforward, which is to directly force Cai Jing to submit.
Of course, although this plan is straightforward, it is not simple. The capital to make Cai Jing submit lies in Li Qian's previous efforts...
This morning, Cai Jing, who had just arrived at Shangshu Provincial Yamen, met He Shen at the door who had also just arrived.
"With your lord."
Cai Jing greeted him with a smile.
"Master Cai."
He Shen replied with the same smile.
Although the two are colleagues, their relationship on weekdays is very ordinary. Even if they bump into each other, there is nothing to talk about.
What's more, now Cai Jing has a complete plan. As long as the plan is successfully implemented, not only Qin Hui, but also Yan Song, He Shen and the like will not be able to escape.
Now that this plan is progressing steadily, Cai Jing looks at He Shen differently than before.
It's just the dead bones in the grave.
But what's more coincidental is that Heshen also knew about such a plan.
Although he still doesn't know the specific content of the plan, he knows that Cai Jing's downfall happened in the past few days. This old guy is like a loach in a urine pit - he can't make much waves.
Just like that, a fatter skeleton and an old loach with a stronger smell looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of superiority in controlling each other's destiny in their eyes, and they passed each other.
But not long after they entered the Yamen, a eunuch dressed in red came to the door.
"Where is Mr. Cai?"
Facing the clerk at the door, the eunuch looked businesslike and followed him to Cai Jing's duty room.
"Master Cai, Your Majesty summons you to Ziwei Hall."
When he came to Cai Jing, his tone was more respectful.
Cai Jing, who was on duty at the hotel, was obviously startled. If his relationship with He Shen was average, then his relationship with His Majesty the Emperor could only be described as poor.
Under normal circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor mostly likes to find people like Qin Hui, Yan Song, and He Shen. In addition, even if he directly contacts the ministers and ministers below, he will not find Cai Jing.
But today she actually took the initiative to summon him. This was really the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.
Cai Jing subconsciously suspected His Majesty the Emperor's intentions. Was there some conspiracy?
He went through the recent discussions with Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun again, and found that there were no flaws or flaws, so he felt relieved a little.
"This father-in-law, has your Majesty ever said anything?"
Cai Jing had a smile on his face and wanted to find out something from this eunuch.
But the eunuch was also very embarrassed: "Master Cai, I don't know."
"My ancestors brought you here from Ziwei Hall when I called you there, and I have never seen His Majesty."
Cai Jing's expression paused, but then he sighed inaudibly.
No matter what it is, it can be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil, so don’t worry too much...
The news of Cai Jing's departure from the Shangshu Yamen soon reached Heshen's ears, but he was stunned and thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty the Emperor would take action now?
Is this too fast?
He Shen's heart tightened, but he had already walked out of Shangshu Yamen and rushed towards the Ministry of Officials.
You must prepare in advance.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. If His Majesty the Emperor fails, Cai Jing will definitely counterattack. Wouldn't the countermeasures made in advance come in handy?
Besides, even if His Majesty did not fail and really dealt with Cai Jing, wouldn't it still take a lot of effort to deal with his huge number of followers?
The more you prepare in advance at this time, the faster and better you can relieve His Majesty the Emperor's worries.
As for some of the benefits gained in the process of sharing worries...that was incidental, not something done proactively.
So preparing for this kind of thing in advance has only advantages and no disadvantages.
On the other side, Cai Jing also came to Ziwei Hall under the guidance of the eunuch.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but I always felt that the atmosphere outside the palace was inexplicably different today, and there was a hint of solemnity in the air.
Cai Jing's heart sank slightly, but he didn't feel anything. He strode towards the Ziwei Palace.
The eunuch who led the way did not take him to the political hall, but to a room that was relatively remote and unfamiliar to Cai Jing.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
The light in the room is not bright, and the furniture inside is made of heavy wood, such as nanmu, sandalwood... which makes the inside look even darker.
When Cai Jing stepped into the room, a unique fragrance of wood hit his face, which was refreshing.
He raised his head and looked forward, first he saw an old eunuch standing above, wearing a black stand-up collar, and then there was an old eunuch sitting further above, wearing a dark blue moiré coat, with an expressionless face.
His Majesty the Emperor.
Normally, His Majesty the Emperor would at least have a smile on his face. How could it be like this today?
Cai Jing felt more and more that the person who came today must be evil.
He was looking at Li Qian, and Li Qian naturally took this opportunity to look at Cai Jing, the culprit who had brought huge turmoil and disaster to Da Qian.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Cai Jing lowered his head first: "I see your Majesty."
Li Qian didn't respond immediately. After half a quarter of an hour, he let out a long sigh with indescribable complicated feelings.
"Cai Qing's house, take a seat first."
The old eunuch took a soft stool from the side and slowly walked towards Cai Jing, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
In fact, it is not just Li Qian who is preparing, but also He Shen, Yan Song and other court officials. The palace must also be prepared for such a big event.
Apart from anything else, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor is a top priority.
What if after Cai Jing learned the news, he became angry and evil, and took a desperate risk to threaten the safety of His Majesty the Emperor?
Although looking at his figure and age, he doesn't seem to be very capable, but he is just worried about what might happen to him.
The old eunuch even imagined that this man was carrying destructive weapons such as sleeve arrows and crossbows, and asked him to be searched at the entrance of the palace, otherwise he would not be allowed in.
Such nonsense was naturally rejected by Li Qian.
A body search will definitely arouse Cai Jing's vigilance. Then the people will not come in. Wouldn't it be better to just run away? This is Li Qian asking him to come, not Cai Jing coming to see Li Qian.
When his plan failed, the old eunuch did not give up and came up with a second method to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.
He dug out two pieces of soft gold silk armor from the palace's warehouse and insisted on asking His Majesty the Emperor to put them on to avoid any accidents.
But on such a hot day, Li Qian certainly didn't want to touch such a thick and heavy thing, let alone wearing two pieces at once.
Besides, among the officials who are on duty in the imperial city, who has nothing to do but carry sleeve arrows and powerful crossbows with them? Isn’t there something wrong with that?
It won't be used once for ten years, but if you are negligent once and are discovered by colleagues, eunuchs or the imperial guards on duty... then you are finished.
Since Li Qian didn't want to wear it, the old eunuch naturally didn't dare to force it on His Majesty the Emperor. He could only put it on himself, saying that if there was any accident, he could block it in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
In the process of walking towards Cai Jing, the old eunuch took every step he took with vigilance.
However, until he put down the soft stool, Cai Jing did not make any drastic move, but slowly sat down while rubbing his numb old leg.
After Li Qian looked at him for a moment, he didn't continue talking about anything else, but went straight to the point.
"These are the two memorials I just received. The Cai Qing family might as well take a look at them first." Li Qian pushed the memorials forward on the table.
Cai Jing's expression suddenly became a bit solemn: "Yes, Your Majesty."
He seemed to have realized that His Majesty the Emperor's tricks should be contained in these two memorials.
The old eunuch had already taken the memorial from the table, came forward and handed it to Cai Jing.
Cai Jing was completely mentally prepared. He thought that he had seen too many ups and downs in the court for so many years.
Even if the little emperor's methods are unexpected, they are only mediocre. As long as they are treated with caution and not carelessly, there will be no problems at all.
This is also the reason why so far, no matter how abnormal the external conditions are, he can still remain calm.
But when Cai Jing took the memorial, before he could open it, he only saw the name of the memorial. His vision went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.
Seeing this, the old eunuch and Li Qian's eyes suddenly became nervous.
In fact, Li Qian is not worried about his own safety. What he is most worried about is Cai Jing's safety.
It's okay for this old guy to get into trouble, but he can't have it happen to him, otherwise it will be difficult for him, Li Qian, to clear himself of his responsibilities.
Before summoning Cai Jing, Li Qian had repeatedly warned the old eunuch that he must be on guard against Cai Jing's rogue method of pretending to be stunned on the spot.
Moreover, Li Qian placed a memorial that was more acceptable to him at the top and a memorial that he found difficult to accept at the bottom...
Naturally, Cai Jing didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor cared so much about him and considered him so much. Now he was dumbfounded. The reason was the title on the cover of the memorial in his hand.
"A Brief Account of Cai Bian, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Impeaching Minister Zuo Pu and Shooting Cai Jing"
Li Qian said calmly from above: "Cai Qing's family, these two memorials have not yet been sent to the Ministry of Education. The Secretary of General Affairs did not copy them after seeing them, and sent them directly to me."
Cai Jing's pale lips opened, and he raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor above.
Li Qian couldn't tell what kind of complicated expression this was, and he didn't know whether it was fake or sincere, but it was indeed the first time for him to see Cai Jing like this.
Li Qian saw that Cai Jing was ready to open the memorial and take a look, but he hesitated several times and still failed to open it.
Instead, he moved away the memorial above and looked at the one below.
It's okay not to look at it, but when he looked at Cai Jing, he was dumbfounded and dumbfounded on the spot.
The title of this second memorial is "A Summary of the Unlawful Cases of Cai You, Secretary General of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of War, Impeaching Minister Zuopu and Shooting Cai Jing."
It is not uncommon for a younger brother to impeach his elder brother with a memorial, but a son's memorial to impeach me is probably the first time in this dynasty.
If this memorial is really released, I am afraid it will set two records at once.
One is the son's impeachment of his biological father, and the other is the impeachment of a high-ranking official from the ninth rank to the imperial court. The topicality of this will probably explode in the capital in an instant.
Cai Jing's eyes widened as he looked at the memorial, his lips trembled, and the hand holding the memorial trembled.
Li Qian looked at his appearance and had some speculation in his mind. If Cai Jing still had some room to accept the previous memorial, then this memorial was completely unexpected by Cai Jing.
"Master Cai? Master Cai?"
As I was thinking about it, the old eunuch's exclamation suddenly came from the front.
Li Qian hurriedly raised his head and looked forward, and found that Cai Jing had rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Had it not been for the old eunuch's quick eyesight and quick hands to support him, Mr. Cai would have suffered a bloody head injury.
'Sure enough, this happened...'
Li Qian looked at the scene in front of him with a headache.
Regardless of whether Cai Jing is really dizzy or fake, this is a dishonest act.
After knowing the titles of these two memorials, Cai Jing must have wanted to go back and deal with the beginning and end of them immediately.
But the purpose of Li Qian calling him here today and letting him read these two memorials was to prevent him from going back...or to make him go back completely.
Of course it is impossible to let him go so easily now and let him get precious breathing time.
Since he has taken the initiative and made a move, he has to be killed instantly. How can he be given a chance to counterattack?
But Cai Jing's method of dealing with fainting would not be able to be dealt with by a simple and honest person.
Send him back... that's definitely not possible.
But if you don't send him back, there is really no other way. You will never wake up a person who is pretending to be faint.
Cai Jing just couldn't faint. He could have been unconscious until the palace door was locked at night. By then, His Majesty the Emperor would have no reason to keep him and could only send him out.
But since Li Qian called him here today, he must have made sufficient preparations.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Cai is so furious that he has fainted!" The old eunuch said with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"How could this be?"
Li Qian was also shocked and stood up suddenly: "Go and call the imperial doctor!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch responded and was about to walk out, but was stopped by His Majesty the Emperor halfway through.
"Wait a minute..."
Hesitation suddenly appeared on Li Qian's face: "Li Sima fell ill a while ago, and now Cai Qing's family has fallen ill. This matter is really closely related."
"You can send someone to the Imperial City to summon officials of third rank and above and have them all come over to discuss this matter."
The old eunuch hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he continued to run out.
But this time, before he could even take two steps, a groan came from the ground.
Immediately, Cai Jing opened his eyes in a daze, and grasped a few times with his hands. It seemed that he had just gotten out of coma, and his consciousness was still a little unclear.
"Cai Qing's family is awake?"
Li Qian stopped the old eunuch again in surprise.
The old eunuch looked at His Majesty the Emperor with nothing but admiration. He said in his heart that His Majesty is simply the living Hua Tuo... No, Hua Tuo is not that amazing. He doesn't need to look, hear, ask, or take medicine. He can revive a person with just one sentence. Comatose old man...
Cai Jing's eyes gradually regained focus, and the first thing he did was to kneel on the ground.
