Chapter 213 Chapter 209: Cai Jing's Conspiracy

Cai Jing waved his hands, one ice and one fire two giant palms pounced up and down, left and right in the secret room, extremely fast, like two dragons playing and chasing ice and fire.

After a stick of incense.

Cai Jing slowly withdrew his kung fu, the two palms of ice and fire retracted into the left and right palms, and returned to the body.

Cai Jing got up from the bluestone with a satisfied look on his face.

So far, his yin and yang non-phase magical skill has finally been completed, and his cultivation has also broken through from the eighth-rank master to the ninth-rank master.

Come out of the underground secret room and go back to the study.

Cai Jie hurried in from the outside with an ugly look on his face.

"Father, something is wrong." Cai Jie walked into the study, took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Cai Jing: "Father, Huang Shang is going to attack us. This is the news from Eunuch Chen Feige."

Cai Jing unfolded the note and read it, and the note immediately turned into powder in his hands.

The note sent by Eunuch Chen revealed an important news. The emperor was very dissatisfied with Cai Jing because of the salt corruption case. It's Cai Jing's party.

Last time Lingyun found out the corruption case of Liangjiang Salt Transport Envoy Zhang Wei, and found stolen silver worth tens of millions of taels, which made Huang Shang very angry.

With Zhang Bang, a small salt envoy, of course, he can't eat the tens of millions of taels of corrupt money. Zhang Bang is just a small boss who handles it. Who is really going to take the tens of millions of taels of stolen silver? Huang Chang naturally knew it well.

For a long time, Huang Chang turned a blind eye to Cai Jing's plundering and corruption, because Cai Jing's greedy money "mostly" would be quietly paid to Huang Chang.

But now that the salt corruption case was found out, Ling Yun confiscated tens of millions of taels of stolen silver. Only then did Huang Chang know that it turned out that Cai Jing collected so much silver every year.

The Liangjiang salt affairs corruption in half a year alone amounted to tens of millions of taels. It is conceivable that the total amount of silver taels collected by Cai Jing in the whole country in one year is at least 5000 million taels of silver.

And the silver taels that Cai Jing secretly donates to Huang Chang every year are only tens of millions of taels.

This made Huang Chang furious!

Good guy, I thought I took the big head, but after a long time, it turned out that you, Cai Jing, ate all the meat, and what I drank was only your leftover soup.

Therefore, Huang Chang decided to suppress Cai Jing, one by one the officials of some of his important departments, and Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of War, recommended a group of loyal and talented officials to go up.

But Huang Chang didn't want to beat Cai Jing to death with a stick, it was just to weaken Cai Jing's power, suppress Cai Jing and see his reaction.

If Cai Jing could correct his mistakes and honestly spit out all the money embezzled before, Huang Chang would still let him continue to sit in the position of prime minister.

If Cai Jing dares to feel dissatisfied and make some small moves, then I'm sorry, Huang Chang will really want Cai Jing to step down.

The reason why Eunuch Chen was able to become the eunuch who delivered the edict by Huang Chang's side was also arranged by Cai Jing, in order to monitor and understand the emperor's mind.

Now Eunuch Chen passed the news to Cai Jing, hoping that he would take the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistake, and pay two major parts of the embezzled silver as tribute to the emperor, so as to keep the official hat on his head.

"Father, it seems that we can only do what Eunuch Chen said, and find a way to transfer the gold and silver treasures to the emperor's private treasury in batches."

Cai Jie sighed, although he was unwilling, but what can he do at this moment.

There is no more money to be greedy, but if you offend the emperor, you will lose your official title at the slightest, and move your head at the worst, and all the families will be executed.

Contributing hundreds of millions of taels of money is certainly more painful than cutting flesh, but it is still much easier than copying and beheading all over the house.

Cai Jing, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, walking back and forth in the study, as if thinking.

"Father, why are you still hesitating? It's already this time, and we can't help it anymore."

"The emperor is already very dissatisfied with you, he is giving you the last chance!"

"Money is something outside of the body, keeping our Cai family is the most important thing right now!"

"Father, you should know that if the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die!"

Seeing that his prime minister father had been walking back and forth, still unable to make up his mind, Cai Jie kept persuading him anxiously.

Cai Jing stopped pacing, with a stern look on his face: "The king can kill the minister, but the minister can also kill the king!"

"Father, what do you want?"

Cai Jie stared wide-eyed, looking at his father in horror.

Of course he understood what his father meant.

Cai Jing sneered: "Father is going to kill Huang Chang and take his throne!"

Cai Jie was stunned!
After a while, he licked his dry lips, cupped his hands and persuaded:

"Father, Huang Chang created the Nine Yin Manual, and his martial arts are invincible in the world. You can't beat him!"

"Invincible in the world?" Cai Jing snorted coldly: "I would like to see it, and see whether it is his Huang Chang's Nine Yin Manual that is more powerful, or my Cai Jing's yin and yang non-phase magical skill!"

Cai Jie was startled when he heard that, and then he said with surprise, "Father, have you mastered the magic skill of yin and yang non-phase?"

Cai Jing stroked his beard and said proudly: "Not bad."

Cai Jie pondered for a while, calmed down, shook his head and said, "Father, even if you have completed your Yin-Yang Wuxiang Magic Art, it may not be able to surpass Huang Chang's Nine Yin Manual. Besides, Huang Chang is protected by a hundred thousand forbidden troops. How can you kill him? Even if you can kill him, who will support you as the emperor if your name is not right and your words are not right?"

Cai Jing smiled disapprovingly: "Tong Guan, the commander in front of the palace who is in charge of the [-] imperial troops, was secretly elected by my father. He has long been my confidant. He will definitely cooperate with my father and support him as the emperor."

Cai Jie couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard it, and his spirit couldn't help but lift up.

If you can control the [-] forbidden troops in the capital, then of course everything will be fine.

Cai Jing sat down behind the desk, and continued: "As for Huang Chang, father is not going to kill him alone, there is another person who will assist me to kill Huang Chang, with him and father working together, no matter how powerful Huang Chang is in martial arts , will surely die.”

Cai Jie asked with a puzzled look: "Who is this person my father is talking about?"

Cai Jingdao: "Ping Qing Wang An Shigeng."

"Him?" Cai Jie opened his mouth wide.

An Shigeng's ancestor was the founding father of the Wu Dynasty, and he was named King Pingqing, which can be hereditary.

Originally, the An family could always be a member of the second and third ranks in the imperial court, but when An Shigeng's father, An Yunshan, was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Huang Shang was alerted by mobilizing the army for no reason, and immediately dismissed An Yunshan as the Minister of the Ministry of War. Renamed Li Gang.

However, Huang Shang still did not deprive An Yunshan of the title of King Pingqing, the hereditary ancestor of An Yunshan, but the An family was not allowed to be an official in the court for generations.

Although he has a title, he is not allowed to be an official in the court for generations, which will not have the slightest impact on the court.

From then on, the An family devoted themselves to business, and when An Shigeng came into his hands, he became the richest man in the capital.
