Chapter 362: King Yan, don't talk nonsense!
Cai He: "I didn't expect King Yan to remember me!"

Wu Zhi laughed, this Cai Yu almost pointed at Song Huizong and scolded at the beginning, how could he not remember.

He committed suicide, and was dispatched by Song Huizong to a place far away as a small official. If his father was not the prime minister, he might not be able to come back.

But this has little to do with Wu Zhi, he is not even afraid of Cai Jing, let alone Cai Jing's son.

At the beginning, the two of them took the exam together, but now one is still a small official, and he has become the king of Yan, the Duke of Zhen Guo, and the grand master of the court.

The status is no worse than his father.

It can be described as a day and a place.

Facing Wu Zhi, Cai He was very afraid and hated, but everything seemed powerless in front of his status.

He didn't want to salute when he saw King Yan, even if he didn't want to, that was the only way he could do it.

Under his welcome, Wu Zhi walked inside.

As Prime Minister Cai Jing's mansion, ordinary people can't even enter the door, let alone let Cai Jing come out to greet him.

Now that Cai Jing saw Wu Zhi, he had to address him as King Yan. He came out and bowed his hands, but he didn't understand what Wu Zhi wanted him to do.

In his opinion, Wu Zhi would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since he came, he must have something to do.

Wu Zhi killed their son, Cai Jing and his son Cai He still respected him on the surface and would not stare in anger.

Now they are going to the inner courtyard together, this is the benefit of power.

If it weren't for Wu Zhi, their enemies would come to the door, and they might not even think about going out.

Ok?
At this time, Cai Jing was a little surprised. He saw that Wu Zhi had brought a box.

Cai Jing asked as he walked, "King Yan, what is this?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "This king is not empty-handed this time, this is a gift for Master Cai!"

Hearing this, Cai Jing was even more surprised.

As they walked to a courtyard, the rest retreated, at this moment Cai Jing stretched out his hand and said, "King Yan, please sit down!"

After Wu Zhi sat down, before Cai Jing spoke, Wu Zhi said: "Lord Cai, what happened to Yan Yun last time was really forced by the situation, and this king was also forced to do so, and His Majesty even chatted with me a few days ago. After seeing this matter, Your Majesty wants me to thoroughly investigate and find out who else is involved."

When Cai Jing heard this, his heart tightened, feeling that Wu Zhi was here to ask for a crime?
Wu Zhi smiled, knowing that Cai Jing must be unhappy in his heart, but Cai Jing managed his expression well and did not express any dissatisfaction.

Wu Zhi paused for a moment, took out the box and smiled, "Lord Cai, do you want to know what the gift I brought you?"

Hearing this, Cai Jing had a bad feeling.

Wu Zhi smiled, then opened the box and took out a bunch of ledgers: "These are Master Cai's ledgers!"

Wu Zhi has Cai Jing's evidence, not only the embezzlement of money for the construction of the Longevity Mountain project, but also other evidence of bribery.Some are Zenbu collections.

The main thing is that they have the evidence of corruption for the construction of Long Live Mountain.

Cai Jing didn't look carefully, he said: "It's just the ledger, what can I do?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "I still have a big box for such ledgers! Ordinary ledgers are of course nothing, but there are ledger records about corruption in the construction of Longevity Mountain. Do you want to have a look, Mr. Cai?"

Hearing Wu Zhi's last words, Cai Jingcai's heart changed drastically. If other corruptions will not shake him, then this official Longevity Mountain is extremely important.

It's a big deal to be caught doing tricks in it.

Cai Jing checked it, and it was indeed his embezzlement of Long Live Mountain's bank accounts. At this moment, Cai Jing realized the seriousness of the problem, and he said: "King Yan, you brought these things, you must have something to ask me, you can tell me come out!"

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I need your help to implement the new law recently. I hope Master Cai can work with me to promote the new law of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Cai Jing's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "King Yan wants to reform the Song Dynasty?"

Wu Zhi nodded: "There are problems with the system before the Song Dynasty, so reform is imperative!"

Cai Jing: "Presumably the King of Yan and His Majesty have already discussed it. In this case, if the Song Dynasty wants to implement the new law, I will naturally support it!"

"It's just that King Yan doesn't seem to need to find me! His Majesty will definitely not refuse King Yan's proposal!"

Wu Zhi shook his head: "Because the new law promoted this time has many things that overthrow the Song Dynasty, it must be agreed by all civil and military officials in the court. This king is not the only one who has the final say in the court. If many courtiers oppose it, His Majesty will not." It's easy to pass, but if you, Mr. Cai, take the lead, then other people who oppose it will naturally not dare to say anything."

Wu Zhi knew that although Cai Jing was not as good as him, many courtiers still looked at Cai Jing after so many years of struggling in the court.

If something difficult to accept is proposed, Cai Jing's support is necessary.

This is Wu Zhi's approach to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Cai Jing's face changed: "What kind of new law does King Yan want to reform? Is it so serious?"

Wu Zhi: "This time, the king plans to introduce a new promotion system. The Secretary of State Affairs has a scientific examination system in the Song Dynasty. The selection of officials is through the imperial examination. But what the king has to do is to create a new Secretary of State Affairs. You can also be a junior official. At the beginning of the assessment, everything is promoted within the Department of Government Affairs. In the future, even officials of the sixth rank and fifth rank will have to pass the performance review before deciding whether they will be promoted."

Hearing Wu Zhi's words, Cai Jing almost stood up in shock!
Wu Zhi is so courageous!
He actually wants to establish a new promotion system?
The viciousness of this new law made his hair stand on end even thinking about it.

If this is the case, it will definitely affect the future and interests of the officials of the entire Song Dynasty.

These literati and bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty were very superior. They had a lot of salary, a lot of money, and they didn't have to work, and they wouldn't be sentenced to death. Officials were at most exiled.

This is the common interest of all scholar-bureaucrats. I think it was Wang Anshi who tried to shake the interests of scholar-bureaucrats but failed.

As long as Wu Zhi makes a move, it is bound to arouse the resistance of the entire world of scholar-bureaucrats.

In other words, as long as it is practiced, it is impossible for scholar-bureaucrats to have seniority, all of which depend on their merits, and whether they pass or not must be reviewed by the Secretary of Government Affairs, and everything depends on their faces.

As he continued to communicate with Wu Zhi, Cai Jing was horrified: "King Yan, according to the old man, I am afraid that not only the old man disagrees with your new law, but the entire civil and military court will not agree. Even if the old man supports it, they will not agree." promise!"

Cai Jing was the first to object.

This Secretary of Government Affairs is terrible. If he really wants to do it, the power of Cai Jing's subordinates will be curbed.

The system of promotion to officials is related to the future of many people, how can Wu Zhi control it.

Seeing Cai Jing's reaction, Wu Zhi didn't say much: "It seems that Mr. Cai refused, but anyway, His Majesty is still worried about the Yanyun Rebellion. Let me continue to investigate thoroughly. I believe Mr. Cai's son is You are responsible for Yan Yun's future, not to mention these things, just the evidence in my hands is enough."

I believe Cai Jing should understand what Wu Zhi is talking about.

If you don't agree, then I can only get you down, and it doesn't matter if you agree or not.

When Cai Jing heard this, he didn't say a word.Wu Zhi: "We have all the witnesses and material evidence. If Mr. Cai thinks it is not enough, what if we add another one!"

Cai Jing: "What does King Yan mean by this?"

Wu Zhi took out another statement and handed it over: "This is the statement of the Xixia assassin. I was assassinated by the assassin some time ago. Master Cai must know about this. I have recently investigated something!"

Cai Jing: "What does this matter have to do with the old man?"

Cai Jing didn't understand.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Of course it's related. Recently, the assassin has written a confession that you and the Xixia Emperor conspired to kill the king! If I add this, Mr. Cai, you prime minister I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position!"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Jing was shocked!

What followed was a look of astonishment: "King Yan, why did you say that? When did the old man conspire with Emperor Xixia to assassinate you? This is absolutely nothing! King Yan, don't talk nonsense!"
