Although Zhong Shidao knew that speaking at this time would contradict the emperor, he had something in his heart and had to say it!
But before the old general had time to express himself, Zhao Ji waved his hand with a look of displeasure and said, "I'm a little tired. That's the end of today's morning meeting."
Retreat early in the morning.
Zhao Ji called Cai Jing and Gao Qiu to the side hall.
Zhao Ji looked at the two important ministers in front of him and asked: "If these 100 carriages need to be rebuilt, how long will it take?"
Gao Qiu said: "It doesn't take much time for the official family to build those frames."
"It's just that these horses are purchased from the Western Regions with a lot of money. They are very rare. If you want to buy them temporarily, you may have to go through some troubles."
"Asshole!" Zhao Ji slapped the table angrily.
"I thought that Wu Zhi was quick in his work, and I wanted to reward him with something. But now I realize that Wu Zhi is also an incompetent mediocre person!"
Cai Jing said calmly: "In the official family, Wu Zhi is not only an incompetent waste, but also has ulterior motives."
"Cai Jiu mentioned in his letter that after the riots in Jiangzhou were calmed down, Wu Zhi still spoke loudly in front of many soldiers and took all the credit for himself. He said..."
Zhao Ji's eyes flashed fiercely: "What did he say?"
"He said that he used his troops like a god, and the people's support was what they wanted, and even the officials..."
Cai Jing did not say anything else.
And Zhao Ji didn't have the intention to listen at all, because he had already kicked down a huge vase next to him with an extremely angry kick.
"He really dares to say that!?"
Cai Jing and Zhao Ji have known each other for a long time. As early as when Zhao Ji was still the prince, Cai Jing had already spent a lot of thought on him and had a very thorough understanding of Zhao Ji's character.
He knew that Zhao Ji was not only indolent, rejoicing in success, and greedy for pleasure, but he was also a narrow-minded and petty person.
The last thing he can't listen to is someone criticizing him behind his back.
Zhao Ji said to Cai Jing: "Immediately send someone to put Wu Zhi in the sky prison."
Hearing that Zhao Ji was so angry, Gao Qiu was secretly happy because he finally caught Wu Zhi!
As long as Wu Zhi is in the prison, whether he lives or dies is not a matter of his own words!
However, Cai Jing said at this time: "Guan family, in two days there will be a match between our Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin. Wu Zhi is still of some use."
"Furthermore, Wu Zhi has just returned home in triumph. Among the people, many people are talking about his deeds in Jiangzhou. If the officials put him in prison at this time, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of many people."
When Cai Jing said this, Zhao Ji became even more angry.
"This Wu Zhi is really hateful!"
"I thought he was a man who knew the pros and cons of advancing and retreating. Now that the Grand Master said this, I discovered that Wu Zhi has been plotting against me secretly!"
The anger in Zhao Ji's eyes burned brightly. After a brief pause, he asked Cai Jing: "In this case, what can the Grand Master do?"
Cai Jing said: "The fact that 100 carriages were damaged or disappeared in Jiangzhou this time is enough to show that Wu Zhi is a waste."
"When the competition is over, the officials can take this opportunity to dismiss Wu Zhi as an official. Put him in jail. In this way, no one among the people will speak for Wu Zhi anymore."
Zhao Ji then breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Okay, then it's settled!"
Gao Qiu and Cai Jing walked out of the main hall. In the quiet corridor, Gao Qiu asked Cai Jing.
"Why doesn't Grand Master let the officials directly capture Wu Zhi? In this way, the game does not need to continue."
Cai Jing smiled lightly: "The so-called competition is just a child's play. Losing or winning the competition will not stop the alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom."
"Moreover, Wu Zhi is very popular right now, and I have announced everywhere that Wu Zhi will win this match. The rich businessmen and nobles in the capital have invested a lot of money in this big gamble!"
