Chapter 88: I love you, if you want to make meritorious deeds, report your father-in-law
"Hmph!" Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, snorted coldly and asked sternly: "Cai You, do you know your guilt?"
Cai You was shocked and panicked.
"Chen..." Cai You was so nervous that he stuttered. He also used this short time to think quickly about how to respond to Zhao Guan's family.
"Your Majesty Cai You is aware of his guilt."
Zhao Ji never expected that Cai You would plead guilty so quickly. He accused Cai You in this way in order to give Cai You a warning, so that he could use him to report and expose Cai Jing's unknown crime evidence, so that Cai Jing could be brought down as soon as possible. Cai You kowtowed again and explained the countermeasures he had come up with while waiting outside Donghua Gate:
"My crime is that I was too clumsy to see through Lin Lingsu's treachery."
"I was even deceived by the evil Taoist Lin Lingsu and his evil disciples. In front of the officials, I praised his profound Taoism..."
Zhao Ji sneered and said, "Since you know your crime, what punishment should you receive?"
"Bang, bang, bang!" Cai You kowtowed and choked with sobs: "Please forgive me for my sins out of my long-standing friendship with you.
Woo woo woo...
When the official was still King Duan, he knew the loyalty of his ministers.
Although my minister Cai You misunderstood the demon Taoist Lin Lingsu, he often praised his profound Taoism in front of officials, but he was completely confused by the demon Tao.
I just want the official family to live longer!
The loyalty of your minister Cai You to the official family can be learned from the sun and the moon!
Woo woo woo...
I beg the officials to forgive me for my sins.
Wuwuwu..."
Zhao Ji took a look and found that Cai You was just like his biological father Cai Jing. Whenever he was scolded by me, he would cry and pretend to be loyal, pitifully, to win the sympathy of my original owner...
Originally, Zhao Ji also knew that now was not the time to deal with Cai You, but an opportunity to use Cai You to bring down his father Cai Jing.
When he saw that the purpose of intimidating Cai You had been achieved, he said:
"I summoned your beloved to the palace alone for a discussion. Didn't your beloved see that I didn't want to get to the bottom of your crime?"
Cai You was so grateful that he said with a trembling voice: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness."
"Bang, bang, bang!" Cai You, who was amnesty, began to kowtow again to express his gratitude.
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "That's all! I love you, so I'll give you a seat."
The accompanying eunuch immediately brought a stool and placed it next to Cai You.
Cai You felt that he could no longer understand the Zhao Guan family, whom he had known for more than 20 years.
In the past, after he had performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers in front of the Holy Spirit, he and Zhao Ji would have been as equal as two brothers.
However, now that Cai You has seen the Zhao Guan family whose character has changed drastically, he no longer dares to behave rudely.
Zhao Jidao: "Sit down, I have something to say for you."
"I obey." Cai You panicked and sat on the edge of the stool, respectfully preparing to listen to Zhao Guan's admonishment.
Zhao Ji took a sip of tea and said leisurely:
"I have always known that Aiqing is loyal and loyal, so I can not pursue the crime of being friends with Lin Lingsu."
"Now, Wang Fu is imprisoned for his crimes and sent to Dali Temple to suffer. There is a vacancy in the phase. What do you think, my beloved?"
"Uh?!" Cai You was surprised, but he had many thoughts in his mind. He had been coveting the opportunity for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it!
"My minister Cai You believes that the officials are extremely wise and can spot Wang Fu's loyalties and traitors."
Zhao Ji watched Cai You's performance with a smile.
"My humble opinion is that Cai You, the young prime minister, must occupy the position of a virtuous and talented person."
Zhao Ji asked: "For the position of Young Prime Minister, does Ai Qing have anyone to recommend?"
"This..." Cai You hesitated for a moment. If in the past, with his close relationship with Zhao Guan's family, he would have dared to recommend himself without shame, saying that he could be qualified for the position of young prime minister and realize his life dream——
Enter the phase.
However, Cai You now saw the Zhao Guan family's change of heart. In the past two days, he had Lin Lingsu, who had always been his favorite, beheaded, and his favorite Taiwei Gao Qiu and Shaozai Wang Fu were imprisoned and sent to Dali Temple for trial...<
/p>
Cai You was frightened by the thought, so he did not dare to recommend himself.
"I... I think that Zhang Bangchang, the Minister of Economic Affairs and Zuocheng, can be promoted to the rank of Young Prime Minister." Cai You said, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhao Ji shook his head slightly.
Cai You was confused. Logically speaking, Zhang Bangchang was still the best candidate to be promoted to Shaozai in terms of qualifications.
However, Cai You was secretly happy. If Zhang Bangchang could not be promoted to Shaozai, then he would still have a chance.
Cai You said again: "If Zhang Bangchang cannot be appointed as the Young Prime Minister, I think that Li Bangyan, the Minister Youcheng, can be promoted to the Young Prime Minister."
Zhao Ji still shook his head.
Cai You was happy in his heart, but pretended to be confused and said:
"As far as I know, Cai You, the best candidates for the new Young Prime Minister are these two people. If the officials think it is not possible, I am stupid and really don't know who is qualified for the position of Young Prime Minister!"
Zhao Ji smiled, pointed at the tip of Cai You's nose, and said:
"Ai Qing should be the best choice for the Young Master!"
Cai You looked shocked on the surface, but he was elated and very unhappy.
Cai You immediately stood up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and said humbly:
"Thank you Lord for your kindness! However, how worthy and capable my minister Cai You is, how can he be worthy of the position?"
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Ai Qing's loyalty to me is what I value most.
Also, there is an opportunity to make great achievements in front of Aiqing. If Aiqing can make great contributions to the court, what does the position of a mere young prime minister mean?
Those who can accomplish this great feat can be a Dazai or even a Prime Minister."
Cai You asked excitedly:
"I, Cai You, are ignorant and don't know what this great achievement is?"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said straight to the point:
"My dear, if you want to make meritorious deeds, report your father!"
"Uh?!" Cai You was extremely different.
Zhao Ji stopped smiling, his voice became stern, and said:
"I can speak so bluntly and ask my beloved to report Grand Master Cai to serve. Naturally, I already have evidence of Grand Master Cai's crime of harming the country and being corrupt.
My dear, please decide for yourself where to stand!"
