Yi Song

Chapter 89 Cai Sui is preparing to make a big move

Cai Suan (tao) shook his head and replied categorically: "These two people will never give up their official positions!"

Cai Tiao stood still, stared at Cai Sui, and asked unceremoniously: "It's just a matter of the district military patrol court interfering with the affairs of the court. The judges of the left hall of Kaifeng Prefecture, one is the eighth grade, the other is the sixth grade, officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans." , why can’t you just give up the matter of handing a note to the officials?”

"Although Zhang Zeduan and Li Gang's official positions are low, there are people involved behind them, and even dad is helpless."

Cai Ji couldn't believe it, "Who are they involved in? They actually made Daddy tied up!"

"Zhang Zeduan's teacher was Mr. Shudang. He asked Taiwei Gao and Prime Minister Liang Nei to ask for help, and then he got the job of colluding with the affairs of the military patrol. Removing him from the official position was equivalent to losing Taiwei Gao and Liang Nei. Xiang’s face.”

Cai Sui's words made Cai Ji swallow his saliva, and he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Zhang Zeduan was dispatched by his father to patrol the Imperial Academy for less than two months. Who else would dare to go to Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng to buy an official position in the future?

Isn't this cutting off both of your financial resources?
  Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
  Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng will definitely break up with their father and become enemies.

One of them is a former official of Qiandi, the Taiwei who is in charge of the Palace Department; the other is the most trusted internal minister who is in charge of the Imperial City Department. They are both close officials of the official family. Dad can't bear to fall out with them and become enemies.

"What about Li Gang?"

"Li Gang is the son of Si Hegong. Si Hegong was a Jinshi in the third year of Yuanfeng. He held many positions in the court, so he had friends all over the court. He was also a close friend of Qingliu Zhushi, Duke Zhai. I'm afraid if I beat Li Gang, a young man, It will attract a bunch of old people.

Dad took great pains to expel Qingliu from the court and let the official family be quiet for a few days. If it causes the Qingliu to boil again, I'm afraid the officials will take the trouble to temporarily remove dad from his official position like the previous two times.

Fifth brother,"

Cai Sui's tone became extraordinarily profound, "Unlike the past few years, my father is older, and there are Zheng Juzhong, Bai Shizhong, Wang Fu and others watching from the side. Once the court situation is in turmoil, my father will be demoted from the capital. It will be difficult to come back.”

Cai Wei sat down on his seat dejectedly, "This won't work, that won't work either, just watch Liu Erlang being so arrogant!"

"Liu Erlang, who is as cunning as a fox, thought before and after, and only dared to go to the Western Prison if nothing happened. The three brothers Ren Wuliang died suddenly, and everyone in the Western Prison will be heartbroken. The reward from the Taishi Mansion is generous, but you must have your life to spend it. ah.

As long as Liu Erlang safely passes the three-month deadline, and with the mediation of Lingguang Academy and Houde Palace, Li Gang will definitely be sentenced lightly, and Liu Erlang can be released easily. "

Cai Sui's words made Cai Ji extremely heartbroken.

He gritted his teeth, his cheeks hurting, and finally made up his mind, "Fourth brother, use your strategy."

Cai Sui took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth after eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said lightly: "Fifth brother will definitely not like this plan."

"You hid it and didn't tell me, how did you know I didn't like it?" Cai Wei complained a little.

"If you don't keep it secret, your ministers will lose it; if your ministers don't keep it secret, you will lose their virginity. If you want this plan to succeed, I only need to know it."

"Even dad doesn't know?"

"Dad is busy with state affairs and doesn't bother to care about such small things."

"Okay, okay, that's your plan."

"Once this strategy is used, Liu Erlang will definitely kill you and me once he escapes."

Cai Wei no longer asked Liu Erlang if he dared, but instead asked: "Fourth brother, what should we do?"

"Then hit him with one hit and completely defeat him! Make him spit out the secret and then kill him!" Cai Sui replied with narrowed eyes.

Cai Chi looked at him and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed in his heart, no wonder his father is partial. Among the brothers, the fourth brother is the most like his father.

In the Western Prison, Liu Guozhang once again lived alone in a single room, and people kept coming to see him.

"Erlang, after killing Ren Heilang, it was quiet for three or four days. The situation is not so urgent, and our preparations have been slowed down. What do you think, Erlang?" Yang Xiaojie said softly.

"Rokuro knows the priorities. You can slow down the preparations, but you can't give up. Continue to prepare and wait all the time."

Yang Xiaojie's expression changed slightly: "What are Erlang worried about?"

"Work hard for the best and prepare for the worst, so that we can be invincible."

"Okay. Since Erlang said so, after I go back, I will continue to prepare for the important things, and slow down the non-important things in advance."

In order not to show off too much, people who came to see Liu Guozhang came one after another.

Those in front leave, and those behind come in.

Di Wanren said softly: "Erlang, the situation has eased, please ask the master of Lingguang Academy to deal with the matter. Should we also slow down? I heard that there are some criticisms from the government and the opposition, which is not good for the president."

Liu Guozhang shook his head: "Before the storm comes, it will be very quiet. It seems calm these days, but in fact, I am afraid that a bigger killing move has been prepared. The Cai family has worked hard, how could it give up halfway."

"Then Erlang, do you want to write a letter to the dean?" Di Wanren explained, "Since the criticism started, the gate of Lingguang Academy has been closed tightly, and we can't easily see the dean. With Erlang's letter handed in, we can save the time." Let’s talk about it.”

"Okay, I'll write a letter to the hospital master first." Di Wanren took out a piece of paper, called Chai Ba, found pen and ink, and Liu Guozhang wrote two lines of words.

"Erlang's writing is strong and powerful, and the pen penetrates the back of the paper."

"Sanlang, why don't you just say that my handwriting is average."

"Haha, the writing is indeed not very good. It can't even compare to my nephew's handwriting."

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

Ma Kuo brought Liu Guozhang a stack of Di newspapers and newsprint from the market in Kaifeng.

"Erlang, look at the newsprint. I can understand why you like to read the Di newspaper so much."

"Reading more Di newspapers, especially the replies to political affairs published in the Shangshu Province and various state newspapers, you can see the political ideas and methods of those in power, and the momentum in the court."

"Erlang is as cunning as a fox and as ferocious as a tiger. A martial artist is just an appearance."

"Haha, Wu Lang, there is a saying in the art of war, 'Therefore, the ultimate form of military force is invisible; if it is invisible, it cannot be seen in the depths, and the wise cannot make plans.'" Liu Guozhang recited a sentence from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that he had just learned. Sell.

"Erlang is really admirable." Ma Kuo sighed.

You are capable of martial arts and literature, you are a warrior on the battlefield, and you also understand the mysteries of the court. You are going to defy the odds.

After eating the roasted leg of lamb Wang Xun brought and drinking a large bowl of warm mutton soup, Liu Guozhang wiped his mouth clean and burped.

"It feels good to eat. Thanks to Dalang, I had another tooth ceremony."

"Erlang, just eat as much as you want."

"Da Lang, there is something urgent, and I need to ask your help, brother."

"Erlang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Ask Dalang to visit an elder and help inquire about a person's background."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Two days later, the night was already dark. Liu Guozhang stood in front of the iron window, looking up at the moonlight in the sky.

The night sky is clear, the moon and stars are sparse.

The bright moon is shining in the sky, shining from ancient times to the present, and will shine for hundreds of thousands of years.

How did Mr. Dongpo write, "Send a mayfly to the sky and the earth, a drop in the vast sea. I mourn the brief moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. I carry the flying immortals to travel, and hold the bright moon to my end. I don't know how unexpected it is, but I leave it to you. Ringing in the sad wind.”

Only Mr. Dongpo, who is extremely open-minded, can write such a beautiful sentence. I have been reincarnated for several lifetimes and I can't write it. I am calculating every day. How can I have such a state of mind?

In the backyard of Lingguang Academy, Murong Shisan was dressed in a flying fish suit, except that his hat was taken off, and his long black hair was spread out and draped over his shoulders and back. It was silkier than the satin and silk cloth on his body.

He also took off the Qingfeng sword from his waist and put it aside.

She clasped her hands behind her back and looked up at the bright moon.

"Master, is Erlang okay?" Xu Xiniang brought a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in the pavilion.

"Him? Nothing will happen. If we hadn't been involved, he would have fought his way out of Kaifeng City and out of this stinking stagnant water."

"But he is still in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, and he won't let the prison master go around to save him."

"I don't know what he wants to do, but now, I somewhat believe that he can smash this stagnant water to pieces."

In Houde Palace, the palace owner Zhao Wuniang was sitting in the attic in the backyard, holding her chin with her left hand, looking at the bright moon in the sky from the window, her delicate face full of sadness.

"Xiang Lao, is Erlang really going to be okay?"

Liu Baoxiang stood beside her and said softly: "Erlang, please don't move lightly. I must have made a plan in advance. Erlang is very methodical in doing things."

Zhao Wuniang was silent for a long time, and then asked quietly: "'Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night.' Mr. Xiang, do you think people really should accept their fate?"

Liu Baoxiang replied: "Liu Erlang often said that his fate is very hard, and his hardness lies in his refusal to accept his fate."

Zhao Wuniang's eyes were alert and she looked at Haoyue thoughtfully.

At four o'clock in the first watch, a group of people came in from the West Prison. The two people in front each carried a lantern to lead the way, and the six people behind them walked to Liu Guozhang's prison, surrounded by one person.

"Liu Erlang, how are you doing lately?"
