Chapter 662: The Way Back

Since the Song Dynasty, the power struggle has been stopped at the right time, and the demotion has come to an end. When Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fought for power, and the new and old parties changed, they were nothing more than dismissal from office. Almost a few involved their family members.

The first person to open this Pandora box was Cai Jing himself, and now, Chen Ao doesn't mind returning to him by his own way.

Cai Jing came from the palace in a daze, looked back at the palace wall, and then got into the sedan chair.

"Go back home and ask someone to call Tao'er, hurry up and don't delay."

From Cai Jing's voice, he had become calm. He saw many storms. After sitting in the sedan chair, he returned to his calmness. Since there was no way out, he had to prepare in advance. At this time, calmness is extremely important.

Those disciples and followers have roughly noticed some clues, but I’m afraid they can’t count on them anymore. Now that things come out, I can only rely on Cai Tao.

When Cai Jing returned to Cai’s mansion, Cai Tao also happened to come over anxiously. The father and son ran into each other at the door of the mansion. Cai Tao had just participated in the court discussion. Naturally, he knew what was going on, and said pale: "Father..."

Cai Jing said calmly: "Get into the house and say."

The father and son walked into the main hall one by one, one by one, and the servants were coming to serve him. Cai Jing said coldly: "Everyone is out, and no one is allowed to come in without my husband's instructions."

For decades, Cai Tao had never seen his father like this, and suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, saying, "Father, our Cai family can no longer be enemies with Shen Ao. Such a letter of state cannot defeat him. Instead, he became the King of Pingxi from Penglai County. After a hundred years of my Song Dynasty, no foreign surname has ever had such honor. The sacred and arrogant holy family makes people feel cold."

Cai Jing snorted coldly and said, "If we don't be enemies with him, will he let you and me go? Don't be lucky anymore. Now, I can only deal with him to the end."

Cai Tao's face turned paler and he said timidly: "Yes, yes, just now..."

Cai Jing interrupted him and said, "What I want to say today is now, let me tell you the truth. The impeachment memorial from Xinghua Army has been handed over. Cai Zheng, a confused insect, huh, something I don't know how to die." He cursed and said, "Chen Ao this time, it's not me, but you. If this continues, my family and all of my Cai family will be ruined. No matter what, you can't let it go. You can immediately write a letter and resign as the Minister of War. It's better not to do this Secretary."

Cai Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "Dad, isn't it our father and son who are concerned about? If the son resigns from his official position, wouldn't it be like being slaughtered?"

Cai Jing sneered: "Even if you are the Minister of State, you are still slaughtered in his eyes. If you resign from your office, you will use the reason why your children are disrespectful to go back to your hometown in Fujian Road to educate your children. Your Majesty is naturally inaccurate. A few days ago, the envoy of the Imperial Road resigned and returned to his hometown, and the court was discussing the right candidate. As long as you ask someone to mention it before your subordinates, the envoy of the Imperial Road will definitely fall on your head. In Bianjing, what is the Secretary of State? But when you arrive on Fujian Road, a envoy of the Imperial Road will be on horseback and serve as a military and political party in the criminal prison. Only then can the army of the Imperial Road be tempted to be afraid."

Cai Jing's words made Cai Tao suddenly enlightened. He gave up Shangshu to be the envoy of the punishment, and was demoted on the table, but Cai Jing's move was indeed powerful. Chen Ao was in Quanzhou and the Xinghua Army had a deep roots. However, Cai Tao took the envoy of the punishment on Fujian Road. At least the Cai family was in Xinghua Army, so it was a fight. Chen Ao wanted to take action, so how could he not have any concerns?

There is Cai Jing inside and Cai Tao outside. Although it is not said that he can defeat Chen Ao now, at least Cai Jing will be able to protect the Cai family of Xinghua Army in one day.

Cai Tao thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

Cai Jing sighed and said, "When you go there, be cautious when you should be cautious, but don't be polite when you should be polite. On the side of the Xiangjun, you should know that you can win people's hearts and there will naturally be some use of them at that time."

Cai Tao said: "Children can tell the difference."

Cai Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You can't tell the difference. Compared with You'er, you are far inferior to You'er. You'er..." Cai Jing shouted: "Come on, prepare your sedan chair and go to Hu Lefang."

"Hu Lefang..." A trace of gloom flashed in Cai Tao's eyes, and he said, "Father, what should he do?"

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "When it comes to my entire Cai family, no matter how unsuccessful You'er is, he should be directed towards us. Brothers are united and they have the advantage of breaking gold. You'er's ability is too far away."

After saying that, Cai Jing raised his legs and went out, arrived at the gatehouse, sat in a sedan chair, and went straight to a neighborhood.

This Hu Lefang is also the residence of a high-ranking official, but there is one place that seems to be a little declining. When Cai You was in power, it was so glorious. Unexpectedly, a flower and stone party in Suzhou and Hangzhou ended up being dismissed from office and thinking about his mistakes. From high into the clouds to falling to the bottom of the valley, Cai You's residence quickly declined from its prominent moment. Without the holy family, Cai You was nothing.

Cai Jing's sedan was stopped here, and the gatekeeper was just an old servant. When he saw Cai Jing, he hurried over to pick him up.

When Cai Jing saw this deserted mansion, he sighed and said to the old servant: "Where is You'er?"

"Ask the old man, the old man is sick."

Cai Jing nodded, walked in, and said, "Take me to see."

Cai You was indeed sick, his officialdom was ups and downs, and he fell from the clouds. After two years of holding on to this mansion, his depression and unsuccessfulness burst out, which made him lose weight. He lay on the couch, and although there was someone to take care of him, there was an indescribable feeling. When Cai Jing came in, his eyes became alert and he immediately stopped going elsewhere.

Cai Jing said nothing, sat directly in front of the couch, grabbed Cai You's wrist and took his pulse.

Seven or eight years ago, this was also the scene. Once Cai You went to visit Cai Jing and saw someone discussing state affairs with Cai Jing. When the officials saw Cai You coming, they avoided him. Cai You hurriedly held Cai Jing's hand and said to Cai Jing: "My father's pulse is soothing, I'm afraid there is a sign of proper body." Cai Jing said with a smile: "No." After Cai You hurriedly left, the officials came out to ask Cai Jing who this person was. Cai Jing replied: "This is my son, I want to try me."

These words showed the coldness between father and son. At that time, Cai You was full of hope that Cai Jing was not feeling well and could replace him. However, now, after this end, Cai Jing caught his pulse, but just looked at Cai Jing idly and said, "Father is here, what can you tell me?"

Cai Jing focused on his pulse, then sighed and said, "You'er's meridians are unclear, which may be a sign of anxiety and illness."

After saying that, Cai Jing let go of Cai You's hand, and Cai Jing said slowly: "For the father, you are not far from You'er."

Cai You raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?" Although he had been in a bad mood in the past, at this time, Cai You also understood that he still had his life, and the Tian family was just for Cai Jing's sake. If Cai Jing had also fallen into this situation, Cai You's life would be harder.

Cai Jing continued to say slowly: "Just just now, Xinghua Army sent a memorial, and it was Cai Zheng who impeached the illegality."

Cai You's face changed and he said, "Is it that Chen Ao who instigated him again?"

Cai Jinghe nodded.

Cai You was extremely smart and immediately understood the key. He gritted his teeth and said, "He is going to take the entire Cai family to the Jedi."

Cai Jing said: "Is there any way You'er?"

Cai You sighed with a dead face: "What can I do like this? Take care of my father."

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "I plan to submit a memorial for my father and let You'er go to Fujian Road."

Cai You was excited and said, "Will Your Majesty agree?"

Cai Jing said: "I am 70% sure. After two years of punishment, Your Majesty's anger should be gone. You used to lead the army in the border town. This time, you should be asked to go to the wing army to capture a vacant. There should be no problem."

Cai You gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the case, Chen Ao will never let the Cai family move at all."

Cai Jing said comfortably: "That's what it means to be a father. The second son Cai Tao will be the envoy of punishment. You are the commander of the Xiang army, and with some disciples and old officials, Fujian Road can be as solid as a decent. But the hatred between you and Tao'er cannot be born again. Our Cai family is in trouble. At this time, if you care about personal grudges, it will only make people catch the handle."

Cai You sneered: "My father is still like that. There is no need to say these words. Cai You is not a fool."

Cai Jing stood up and said nothing. He walked out with a trembling heart as if he had settled his mind.

At this moment, Chen Ao returned home and immediately called Liu Sheng, and ordered: "Immediately, ask someone to send a message to the Nanyang Navy and Xinghua Army, and Xinghua Cai family, and don't let anyone escape. I'll take it a look."

Liu Sheng has been in the mansion for three or four years, and is also Chen Ao's confidant. Chen Ao's many things are not avoided. After hearing Chen Ao's instructions, Liu Sheng said excitedly: "Go and do it now."

Chen Ao smiled faintly, went back to the backyard, and had a complete showdown with Cai Jing. This open and secret struggle made Chen Ao look very tired, so that in the past few days, he had not even gone to the Martial Arts School and the Honglu Temple. After passing through a moon cave, Chen Ao's mood finally became cool. He looked into the distance and saw Zhen Zhen and the others talking under the eaves, laughing and laughing.

There were tables and stools under the eaves. When Tang Moer saw Chen Ao coming, she immediately brought some refreshments, blinked her eyes and said, "What have you done in the past few days? You always look listless."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "When I see Mole, my spirit will come."

All the girls laughed and said that Chen Ao was not serious. Chen Ao raised his face and said seriously: "In half a month, I may have to go to Fujian and I can come back in one month at most."

Zhenzhen said in surprise: "How many days have you been back now? Are you going out again?"

Chen Ao sighed and said, "I don't touch my husband's feet. Isn't it for this family? It's like I'm looking for flowers and willows for my husband." As he said, he said with a little apology on his face: "In two years, after all these trivial matters are done, I, King Pingxi, will no longer worry about other things. I will be a good husband and accompany you all day long."

An Ning smiled and said, "What you said never counts."

Everyone laughed again, but their eyes lit up at the same time.
