Cai Jing arrived in Bozhou much earlier than Zhao Jixiang and Gao Qiu expected.

Although he was already eighty years old, although Zhao Jixiang changed his mind at the beginning, and although Tong Guan and his son Cai You were jointly expelled from the core of the court, Cai Jing was loyal to Zhao Ji and rushed to Bozhou almost the first time he received Zhao Ji's order.

After all, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty did not kill scholars and officials, but it was more popular to exile scholars and officials, and then let the scholars and officials return to the Pure Land during the endless exile.

Cai Jing, who is already 80 years old, is already old and weak, and can no longer withstand this trouble. Now that he has the opportunity to return to the center, Cai Jing naturally does not want to let it go.

As for the issues of offending the current officials, Cai Jing has long been reluctant to care about it.

It was Zhao Huan, the current official, who asked Cai Jing to manage Nanjing as a secretary, and then demoted Chongxin, the deputy envoy of the Qingyuan Army, and lived in Hengzhou. Later, he was preparing to move to Shao and Danzhou.

Liangzi had already formed a long time ago, and Cai Tiao and his sons died at the hands of Zhao Huan. The hatred between the two sides had long been unable to be resolved, so Cai Jing naturally didn't care about offending Zhao Huan more thoroughly.

"So, the array map is not the key."

Whether it is to compete for merit in front of Zhao Jixiang or to make Zhao Huan disgusted, Cai Jing has completely sacrificed his strength: "There are many arms in the capital. Although Li Bangyan was imprisoned and Bai Shizhong was dismissed from prime minister, Cai You and Zhang Bangchang are still worthy of it."

"Zhang Bangchang may be useful, but is it just a young master..."

Gao Qiu said: "Although Ling Gongzi has the talent of the prime minister, he forced Cai Xiang to resign from his post, but now he refuses to use Ling Gongzi, but instead imposes Ling Gongzi to Li Gang and Li Boji's subordinates."

"Isn't this just right?"

Cai Jing stroked his beard with a smile and said, "If I don't remember, then Li Gang and Li Boji are also lucky to be promoted to the defensive envoy of the four cities. If Cai You is under his command, it will be convenient for him to act."

"Why."

Gao Qiu sighed, looked worried, and shed a handful of turbid old tears, then continued: "It's a pity that when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, the young master was sent by Li Boji to guard the Dongshuimen. In order to escape, the unlucky people forcibly broke open the Dongshuimen. The young master was implicated and had been sentenced to death by now."

"capital punishment?"

Cai Jing was stunned. After a long time, he wailed in tears and said, "My You'er~!"

Tong Guan added in time: "Cai Xiangjie Ai. Because he failed to defend the Dongshui Gate, he was punished by a great vanity because he was unable to defend the East Shui Gate.

"Shi Gu" says: Virus is a sin. Death is the greatest sin, so the death penalty is called great virus.

Just when Cai Jing secretly hated but still had a trace of expectation, hoping that his son would be slaughtered instead of being tortured, Tong Guan continued: "Lingchi, that is, he was cut alive, and it is said that the only remaining corpse was thrown to feed the dog."

"Puff~~~!"

Cai Jing felt a sweet throat, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of old blood and fell to the ground. Zhao Jixiang led the imperial doctor to Bozhou for a long time before he recovered.

"My You'er~~~! The foolish lord! The foolish lord!"

Cai Jing cried and scolded: "My son is so innocent, he is going to be tortured! Does this foolish monarch not even take "Yuanfeng Order" and "Tiansheng Order" seriously!"

According to the provisions of the "Yuanfeng Order" and "Tiansheng Order", before the death row prisoner is executed, "still give wine and food first", "listen to the words of relatives", "express the offender as a crime", "not to cover up his mouth", "all those who die when the death row prisoner call for injustice, then investigate and report the report", "Any prisoner who dies and has no relatives will be given a coffin, and the official place is inscribed with official belongings, and the coffin is placed in the turret, placing a plaque on it, and writing his name".

This "death care" system, which is considered to be advanced in later generations, has actually been used by our ancestors for a long time. According to historical data, it also began at the latest in the "Prison Order" of the Tang Dynasty.

However, it is not easy to say whether Cai You got the last meal of wine and food, but there is obviously no "listening to the relatives' words". Moreover, Cai You was forced to resign from office and dismissal from the beginning, and it was not a fool who thought he was not a fool. It was impossible for him to call for justice.

According to the provisions of Song Dynasty, as long as the prisoner calls for justice before being sentenced, the case must be sent back for retrial. Officials who have been in contact with the case must also avoid substitutions to avoid unjust, false and wrong cases. Moreover, there are three opportunities.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the opportunity was increased to five times, and there was another prisoner who called for wrongful accusations ten times. As a result, the case was retried ten times. It was not until the lawsuit was finally brought to Song Xiaozong, who was personally tried and exempted from his death sentence.

Similarly, Bao Zheng needs to meet two conditions to use a guillotine to slaughter people in the lobby of Kaifeng Prefecture:

First, he was the preparatory crown prince and was about to take over the emperor, because there was an unwritten rule in the Song Dynasty that the prefect of Kaifeng would be the crown prince who would take over the future as the emperor.

Second, the prisoner did not call for justice, because once the prisoner called for justice, he had to stop any kind of guillotine and sent the case back to retrial, even the guillotine given by the emperor was not good, and Bao Zheng had to avoid it.

This is the benevolent government of the Song Dynasty, which has been ahead of the whole world for thousands of years.

But it is obvious that Cai You failed to enjoy this kind of benevolent politics. There should have been three chances of calling for justice but it was useless in one place. Or Cai You used it, but it didn't work for it...

Moreover, even Cai You died calmly, and he did not complain from the beginning until the head fell to the ground. This foolish monarch obviously did not let his relatives collect the body, and later he did not even give him a coffin...

"Cai Xiangjie's mourning."

Tong Guan saw that Cai Jing was not angry to death, and he admired Cai Jing's mentality in his heart, and then he tried to make a fuss: "In addition to the fact that the young master was basically killed by the current generation, I heard that before going to the expedition, he had also issued an edict to let Cai Xiang commit suicide."

"This dog emperor! His mother!"

Cai Jing didn't care about Zhao Huan being by his side, and even the monarch, ministers and ministers were not allowed to care about it, so he started to curse: "This dog emperor simply wants to destroy my Cai family!"

"Does Cai Qing want to continue to go to Danzhou?"

When Cai Jing scolded her, Zhao Jixiang's face was not very good-looking - I am still by my side. Did you scold Zhao Huan and bring me in?

"Damn it!"

Cai Jing, who was extremely angry, then reacted and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Jixiang to apologize: "I have lost my composure for a while, I hope the official will forgive me."

"Forget it, Cai Qing's unintentional mistake, how could I argue with Cai Qing?"

Because Cai Jing is still needed now, Zhao Jixiang can only take the initiative to change the topic without commenting: "Let's continue talking about the important things."

"yes."

Cai Jing first bowed and then gave up: "Since Cai You can't count on him, only Zhang Bangchang and others can use it in Bianjing City.

However, since you dare to take such a heavy move now, it is impossible not to leave a backup plan before going to war. In addition, Zhang Bangchang was originally a person who fell with the wind, so he could not put all his hope on him."

After walking slowly for two steps, Cai Jing continued: "However, it's nothing if Zhang Bangchang can't count on it. Even the court officials in Bianjing City cannot count on it. After all, the official family is still the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the biological father of the current official family.

As long as the officials issue an edict and ask all the prefectures in the world to send all the memorials and seals to Bozhou, it will be the same for the officials to be in Bozhou or Bianjing. If they do not regain power, they will also regain power."

"I'm afraid it's not easy."

Tong Guan continued to jump out and sing a counter-tune with Cai Jing: "Before going to war, I was furious in the court and said that anyone who dared to send memorials and seals to Bozhou would be demoted directly."

"This is the moment, the other is the moment."

Cai Jing frowned and said, "There are 14 prefectures and 240 prefectures in the Song Dynasty. The daily stamps and seals are so complicated. It's okay to be in Bianjing at that time, but where are they now? Let the prefectures of the world send the stamps and seals to Bianjing or Taiyuan?

What's more, now that I'm furious in Zichen Palace, can I get a mansion to report the world? "

Tong Guan was stunned and thought about it for a while before saying, "This is not the case. After all, I was furious because of sending the memorial to Bianjing or Bozhou in Zichen Palace. This kind of thing is not easy to say."

“That’s right.”

Cai Jing said: "You can be furious in Zichen Palace for this matter now, but it is impossible to report it to you because of this matter.

The official family is the current father, and the official family has abdicated the throne to the present. Now the official family has sent the world to Bozhou to consider the present. Who can say what a love for his son is like?"

Tong Guan shook his head and replied, "It's not entirely true. Before the official went to war, he had appointed Empress Yuanyou as Empress Dowager Longyou, and Empress Yuanyou was ruled behind the curtain. The empress and the eldest son of the emperor supervised the country. Li Gang was appointed as the prime minister, and Li Ruobing was also the Minister of Personnel, and left behind in Bianjing to assist in the government.

In other words, whether you are in Bianjing today or not, it will not affect the operation of the court. At most, there will be some backlog of problems that must be slaughtered today."

"This is the problem."

Cai Jing's face finally became a little better: "There are 254 prefectures in the world. There are always many problems that must be severed now. The officials are personally expeditioning rather than being young, so there are some problems. Empress Dowager Meng and her elders are not easy to deal with, and the empress and the eldest son cannot handle them either.

However, the problem that Empress Dowager Meng cannot handle is the government can handle. This is the biggest difference between the government and the Empress Dowager Meng and the Empress, the eldest son of the emperor, and the biggest advantage of the government now lies."

The problem that was originally a headache was solved by Cai Jing, and there was a hint of a clear solution. Zhao Jixiang's face also became better: "After all, Cai Qing is still the one who is polite, and it is not the one who dares to openly say in the court that I am not worthy of being Zhao's surname."

"?"

How do you mean by comparing me to your son?

Also, nowadays, people are publicly saying in the court that the official family is not worthy of being surnamed Zhao? Then do you still want to restore politics?

ps: Thanks to the Dog Emperor A Qing for the ten thousand rewards, thanks to the Zhenwu V for the thousand rewards, thanks to the human mountain for being an immortal, Song Ci 5165651155, Edge Oh, Case, 0丨 Night Demon丨0, Xingyu & Laozhu and Jisu Guangyu’s rewards!

A little later: I couldn't stand my body anymore. I kept typing all night long for several nights. Now my shoulders hurt. I originally planned to go to bed early when I got drunk, but I still didn't fall asleep... But no matter what, I didn't have all night tonight. Tomorrow's updates may be a little later. I will try to adjust my work and schedule and biological clock earlier.
