Chapter 66: Cai He's Pride and Cai Jing's Worries

Cai Jing did not go to Zhongshu Province today.

Since the reorganization of Tianqi, the Zhongshu Province, which once had all the power in the world, has become an institution that reviews and promulgates laws. The various departments of the Zhongshu Province, the Shangshu Province and the Secretary's Department have proposed legal drafts to the Zhongshu Province.

It was first reviewed by the General Affairs Department of Zhongshu Province, and then handed over to the Jiayi Yuan for deliberation. It was passed on the third reading and submitted to the Imperial Council for review.

After the officials approved it, Zhongshu Province officially announced it and praised it throughout the world.

It sounds like it is a high-ranking and powerful position - the Shangshu Province must abide by the laws issued by the Zhongshu Province. In fact, it is a place where various forces quarrel.

There are thousands of Jiayi officials. They are energetic and willing to come to the Jiayi House of Zhongshu Province to quarrel regularly. There are four to five hundred people. In addition, Tongyilang recommended by each county and Zhili prefecture has the right to attend but not vote.

, another two to three hundred people.

We have meetings every day and noisy every day.

In order to avoid too many disputes and blame-shifting, which would delay the passing of laws that should be passed, there is a provision in the "State Affairs Code. Zhongshu Provincial Code" that Situ will lead the senior officials to form a senior government bureau to pass the law.

, after it was submitted to the officials for approval, it was also praised all over the world.

It's just that the laws passed by Dr. Jiayi in the Jiayiyuan will be effective forever without new laws to be announced. The laws passed by Situ and the counselors in the counselors' bureau will be valid for ten years - what does it matter? It's almost ten years.

Just modify it a little and pass it again.

Cai Jing, as the Zuo Zizheng doctor of Zhongshu Province, was nominally Situ's first deputy and head of the Zhengzheng Bureau. In fact, he and Situ took turns presiding over meetings and formally promulgating the newly passed and approved laws to the minister and the province.

The law, oh, also has the power to supervise the execution of the law by the minister and the two provinces.

Very leisurely.

Today Cai Jing made an excuse to feel unwell and stayed at home to rest. In fact, he was drinking tea with Sanlang Cai Feng.

The father and son were sitting in a pavilion by the pond in the back garden. On the bamboo charcoal stove sat a Korean copper kettle, which was slowly steaming.

Cai Chen skillfully washed the tea, made the tea, and divided the tea. A piece of "Feng Ge Bao" was thrown aside.

"Well, the aroma is so fragrant. This Lu'an Guapian is completely different from what my father usually drinks." Cai Jing picked up a cup of misty tea, took a sip, and couldn't help but admire it.

"First Evolution"

"Father, Lu'an Guapian actually evolved from Qishan Yunwu Tea. After being given the name by the officials, it became famous all over the world, so many Lu'an Guapian appeared in Luzhou, Shouzhou and other places. The real Lu'an Guapian

There are only a few places in Guapian, among which the Python Cave, Bat Cave, Jinpen Zhaoyue and Crystal Temple are the best, and the Bat Cave is the best.”

Cai Chen looked proud and talked freely.

"The Bat Cave only has a hundred acres of tea fields. How much tea does it produce in a year? Father, my son is telling you that the Lu'an melon slices on the market are all outer mountain melon slices, and a small part are inner mountain melon slices. And these few

There are even fewer good ones produced in every place. Even the Liu'an melons that are presented as tribute to the officials are only from the python cave, the golden basin shining on the moon, and the crystal nunnery."

Upon hearing this, Cai Jing asked with interest: "What Sanlang means is that the Liu'an Guapian we drank is produced in the Bat Cave?"

"Yes father."

"It's really brave. The things offered as tribute are actually not the best. Shouzhou is so brave."

"Father, the more valuable and rare things are, the less you dare to pay tribute."

"Oh, why?" Cai Jing glanced at his son and asked deliberately.

Cai Yi replied coquettishly: "I want my father to know. Rare things are often difficult to obtain. There will be nothing this year and nothing next year. If you pay tribute, the officials will drink it. It is a rule to pay tribute every year. But last year there was something."

, there will be no harvest this year? Local officials are not allowed to hang themselves? Or maybe the taste was great last year, but it has lost its color this year, wouldn’t it make Sheng Yan furious?”

Cai Jing, who knew everything well, had already known it in his heart, but still gave him verbal praise: "I see. Sanlang is thoughtful."

Cai Yi's face became even more joyful.

The breeze blows through the green shade and across the water, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and trees and the moisture of water, and rolls into the pavilion, gently caressing the faces of the two of them like a beautiful woman's catkin.

Cai Jing closed his eyes contentedly and shook his head slightly.

Cai Chen glanced at his father and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, I'm afraid he's already exhausted at this time."

Cai Jing opened his eyes suddenly, like a goshawk staring at a rabbit.

"Sanlang, that's your uncle, your biological uncle, blood is thicker than water."

Cai Chen was stunned. Of course I knew he was my biological uncle. Blood is thicker than water. I also knew that he was your biological brother, the biological brother of the same mother. But I was asked to secretly instigate the civil servants to write letters to impeach him, and then

It was you, father, who secretly encouraged Wang Zhidu to strike with a fatal blow!

"Sanlang, it is of great significance to criticize a country's prime minister in this way. Who knows whether it will offend the officials? Your uncle's position as Dazai was originally appointed by him. So we must bear in mind that Dazai Cai Yuandu is my biological brother. You

My biological uncle. He has been impeached now and may be questioned. We must share our sorrows, stand with him, and never leave him. Do you remember?"

The stunned Cai Chen couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing that his son had not understood what he meant, Cai Jing felt a little unhappy.

Although all of my sons are smart and capable, the most astute and talented one is Silang Cai Sui. However, he is still too young, only sixteen years old. He still needs to be admitted to university and then take the national examination to officially embark on an official career.

Help yourself.

Next is Da Lang Cai You. It’s just that this kid is too lively and can’t control himself.

Sanlang Cai Hui was a bit lacking in temperament and couldn't even understand the mystery behind it.

He secretly impeached his younger brother Cai Bian, and after building momentum and planning, he planned a major disrespectful charge. He instigated Wang Zhidu, a simpleton, to stab his brother in the heart. It was almost a foregone conclusion. It would definitely cause an uproar and trigger both old and new parties.

The forces gathered to attack.

In order to stabilize the political situation, the official family will most likely ask his younger brother to resign from the post of Dazai. However, the official family is such a smart person, and he knows that he has failed Cai Yuandu, and he feels guilty.

At this time, he must show an attitude, share the same sorrow and sorrow with his younger brother Cai Bian, and never abandon him. Not only can he eliminate suspicion in the eyes of the world, but he can also make the officials feel sympathetic and allow him to take over the position of Dazai.

Therefore, Cai Yuandu is my biological brother, blood is thicker than water!

After chatting for a while, a pot of Liu'an melon slices was brewed. After cleaning it, Cai Chen took out a new bag of tea.

"Father, let's try Wuzhou's Lanxi white tea now. This white tea comes from Qingyuan Cave and is the best among the white teas in western Zhejiang. However, this white tea needs to be brewed with Luzhou Qin porcelain to have a good color and aroma.

"

While busy, Cai Yi kept talking.

Cai Jing looked at his son lovingly and nodded with satisfaction. Although he was not as smart as him, he was more reliable in doing things. This time, it was all because of his secret work that he could expect great things.

Suddenly, the keen Cai Jing suddenly realized that there was some kind of mystery hidden in his son's words, which made him feel nervous, as if he felt something was wrong.

Is there a problem? Where is the problem? Cai Jing carefully savored what his son Cai Chen said just now, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

"Sanlang, do you have contact with people from Huaixi, Zhejiang and Luzhou?" Cai Jing asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Cai Chen hesitated for a moment, saw the Qin porcelain and Lanxi white tea in his hand, and knew that he could not refuse, so he said: "Yes, father, there are wealthy merchants in Huaixi, western Zhejiang and Luzhou. After being introduced, they came to see my son.

I offered some gifts and money for some convenience."

Then he added: "In order to let the father know that the son was running around to contact each other, those scholars were filled with righteous indignation and vowed to die together with the traitorous ministers. But it only counts if they write a book, look around, and stuff money. Dozens of them.

The official's heart was even darker. Even with the prince (Wang Zhidu), his son bought a house for him, bought two singers and four Silla maids, and he was satisfied. It cost a lot, and the son did not dare to disturb his father.

Use the company’s money to attract other people’s attention, so..."

Cai Jing was too lazy to pursue Cai Yi's half-truth and half-false excuses, and he didn't want to ask how much he had done in the middle. He was just worried now. His keen intuition told him that this old fox seemed to be hunted by the hunter hiding in the grass.

Got stared at.

I don't know if what is waiting for me is a fishing net, a trap or a musket.

"Mr. Lang!" A servant reported outside.

"What's the matter?" Cai Jing, who was in a panic, asked impatiently.

"Lang Jun, a carriage stopped at the back door, blocking the entrance and exit. The boys went to drive them away, but they were dispersed. When I asked who it was, they just gave me a name card, saying that it was Lang Jun's old friend.

"

What a strange thing! There is something puzzling here that I haven’t figured out yet, and another strange thing happened.

Cai Jing took the post, opened it, and turned pale instantly.
