Chapter 65 Gao Qiu's Final Ending
In the eyes of many people in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing are actually "one party", called the treacherous party.

In fact, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing have been colluding in many ways over the years.

However, the political situation is changing rapidly, involving top-level power disputes, and many simple things will become very complicated.

Ordinary people can't understand it.

Cai Jing, for example, has had four ups and downs in the past few decades.

Zhao Ji, including Song Zhezong Zhao Xu before Zhao Ji, both relied heavily on and feared Cai Jing, so he secretly supported Gao Qi, and then Gao Qi, who had risen rapidly, took charge of the military power in the Beijing camp and existed in the court and the opposition as Cai Jing's countervailing force.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Gao Qiu is the personal team of Emperor Zhao Ji.

Cai Jing is very clear about the purpose of the officials in cultivating Gao Qiu. These years, the two sides have lived in peace and maintained a superficial harmony.

As long as it does not involve the strictness of the emperor's authority and Zhao Ji's bottom line, Gao Qiu will generally support Cai Jing's political stance.

On the other hand, Cai Jing will also moderately give some benefits to Gao Qiu.

However, Gao Li had an accident today, which is equivalent to breaking the delicate balance.

Cai Jing decisively took the opportunity to make a move, making it clear that he wanted to put Gao Qiu to death, because he knew that no one in the court could effectively restrain him from now on.

As for the officials... Cai Jing sneered in his heart. When his power swelled to a certain height, the chair sitting on his head was so within reach. The person on that chair was taken seriously.

Cai Jing's people couldn't afford to shout, as if forcing the palace.

Gao Qiu wailed on the ground, and Zhao Ji was upset for a while.

If Gao Qiu is dismissed from office, who will check and balance Cai Jing in the future?
But in today's situation, if Gao Qiu is not severely punished, Cai Jing will definitely not give up.

Thinking of the impeachment waves that will be faced by North Korean and Chinese officials later, Zhao Ji's head is getting big.

"Retire! We will discuss it another day!"

Zhao Ji hesitated for a long time, and had no better way to do it. In the end, he had no choice but to play tricks and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

Cai Jing didn't care either.

As old and cunning as he is, he knows that taking down a minister like Gao Qi cannot be achieved by participating in the concert once or twice, this is only the first wave.

Afterwards, more than half of the officials in the DPRK and Central Committee all went to the memorial table to impeach Gao Qi, and there was a lot of discussion.

Among them, most of them asked Gao Qiu to be dismissed, and Liang Shi was made a Taiwei with Huainan Jiedu, and he was also in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp.

Who is Liang Shicheng?
Cai Jing's hardcore, one of the Tokyo Six Thieves.

Interestingly, this person claimed to be the illegitimate son of Su Shi, a university scholar.

I don't know if Su Shi will be so angry that he will come back to life.

……

While Zhao Ji was upset, Wang Lin came to say goodbye.

He is a commoner and a man, so staying in the palace for a long time is definitely not a problem, and it is easy to cause trouble.

Hearing that he was going to leave, Zhao Ji frowned and waved his hands and said, "Wang Lin, you should stay in the palace. The palace examination will be in the future. I don't want any troubles to happen before that."

Wang Lin fell silent.

He heard from Huang Kun, the little Huangmen, that Cai Jing and others launched an attack against Gao Qiu at the meeting today, but the emperor did not agree, which shows that Gao Qiu has not lost power yet.He wants to leave the palace, there is no guarantee that Gao Qiu will not attack him.

Zhao Ji sighed again: "Given Gao Qiu's actions, I really should chop off his head and kick him, but I'm worried..."

Wang Lin said lightly: "Could it be that the officials are worried that if Gao Qiu is removed, Taishi Cai will become more dominant?"

Zhao Ji nodded: "This is not a secret, to tell you the truth, this is what I am worried about."

"Officials, Gao Qiu and his son have committed crimes to the heavens, and the people's grievances are boiling. It can be said that there are too many books! This time, they attack the emperor again. If they don't understand the punishment, they will not only dissatisfy the subjects of the world, but also make the royal family lose face."

"Therefore, if the government doesn't punish Gao Qiu, it may be hard to convince the public, and it will not be able to face the ministers of the court. Why not dismiss Gao Qiu from his post and drive him back to his hometown, and then support others to continue to resist the Cai family."

Zhao Ji smiled wryly: "It's not easy to say. If I agree to dismiss Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and others will definitely mobilize and force me to replace him with Liang Shicheng. At that time, I can't stop."

Wang Lin was silent for a while.

He knew that the power of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was constrained by the scholar-bureaucrats, and he was not as omnipotent as people in the world imagined. In many cases, he was subject to the important officials in the court.

Especially when it comes to major personnel appointments.

Wang Lin said again: "The official family, in fact, it is better to let His Highness the Crown Prince take Gao Qi and replace him, and then choose capable ministers and good generals to assist him. In time, the Crown Prince can become a school of his own."

Zhao Ji said ah, thought over and over for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Brother Lin, this is a good idea! The prince is in charge of the Taiwei, and also in charge of the military power of the Beijing camp. He is the head of the military officers. I am afraid that Cai Jing would not dare to object publicly. Otherwise, he will have no royal family and conspire against him!"

"It's just that the prince doesn't understand military affairs... Who should I ask to assist?"

In fact, Zhao Ji was not asking for Wang Lin's opinion, but talking to himself.

But Wang Lin took the opportunity to say: "Officials, Caomin heard that there is an adult named Zhang Shuye next to the official, who is both civil and military, virtuous and loyal, and will definitely share the worries of the official!"

Zhao Ji jumped up against the table: "That's right, it's Zhang Shuye! Come, call, order Taishi Cai to enter the palace to see him!"

Zhang Shuye acted by Zhao Ji's side, and recently gained trust.

……

Wang Lin retreated quietly.

He knew that the emperor called Cai Jing into the palace to negotiate and reach a mutual compromise.Without Cai Jing's consent, it would be difficult to complete the appointment and dismissal of such an important post in the imperial court.

But I believe Cai Jing will compromise.

After all, for Cai Jing, bringing down Gao Lian is more important than anything else.

As for Zhao Ji's intention to let Zhao Huan replace Gao Qiu, Cai Jing probably won't take it to heart, after all, in his eyes, Zhao Huan is just an ignorant child.

Prince Zhao Huan occupies the Taiwei, which is equivalent to the vacancy of the Taiwei position.

It's just that when Zhao Ji proposed to appoint Zhang Shuye as the commander of the three Yamen capitals, including the Dianqian Division, and the deputy commander of the Beijing camp, Cai Jing was somewhat repulsed.

He originally wanted to arrange for the eldest son Cai You to occupy the position, but seeing the emperor's determination, he knew that if he did not give in this time, he would definitely force the emperor to treat Gao Qiu lightly and keep Gao Qiu in disguise.

If you don't die from beating a snake, you will suffer from it. Cai Jing must not leave hidden dangers for himself.

After repeated weighing, Cai Jing gave in.

Wang Lin didn't bother to care about these complicated processes, Zhao Ji didn't agree to let him out of the palace, so he could only live with the eunuch Huang Kun, the little yellow gate, and began to prepare for the martial arts palace test the day after tomorrow.

In the evening, Huang Kun came in a hurry, panting, "Prince Wang, that Gao Qiu..."

Wang Lin suddenly raised his head: "How is Gao Qiu?"

"The government has decreed that Gao Qiu will be dismissed from office, demoted to a commoner, and driven back to his hometown. He will never be hired."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the Taiwei, commanded the Tokyo Imperial Army, and commanded the three offices. During the incident, Zhang Shuye was promoted to the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, moved to the front of the palace, and the guards and guards were the commanders of the soldiers and horses, and also led the prince's guests."

Wang Lin was relieved.

So far, Gao Lian has really finished playing.

A treacherous minister like him has offended countless people. Once he loses power, he will be a dead dog. There are as many people who want to take his life as a cow.

It is almost conceivable that Gao Qiu will probably die on the way home.
