At this moment.
A retainer of the Cai Residence, Gushe, was bowing to Minister Cai.
"Old Master, don't be anxious. Chen Jun doesn't care about the war at the front line.”
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Cai Wu was sitting on the couch drinking soup with a complicated expression.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch had ministers and officials, and ministers and officials had retainers. These retainers were actually equivalent to future henchmen or strategists.
They were not just servants and servants.
Gu She was one of Cai Wu's retainers.
Usually, Cai Wu liked to listen to him speak because he was very insightful about some things.
"Master, you are the Minister of State of Chen. You are in charge of the country's taxes and land. Your power is monstrous."”
"You are the leader of the nobles and an old minister who assisted the country. The little king naturally wouldn't dare to ask you for your sins.”
"Secondly, regarding the old master's correspondence with the clan relatives at the front line, that little country ruler simply couldn't find any evidence.”
"If he comes to question me like this, there's naturally nothing to worry about.”
"Presumably, that little country ruler is also extremely fearful of Old Master. This time, the front line was surrounded and he decided to turn a blind eye.”
Cai Wu nodded slightly.
Thinking about it this way, what Gu She said was not bad.
He was a high-ranking official of the Chen Kingdom and had received the title of the Zhou Emperor. The Cai family had been a powerful family since ancient times.
That little monarch was still young, how could he easily blame him?
Hearing Gushe's words, Cai Wu was relieved.
"Hmm, you're right. Since that's the case, I don't have to scare myself…"
Cai Wu stroked his beard and smiled, apparently listening to Gushe's words.
……
At the same time,
The king's manor was hosting a banquet to entertain Cao Jing.
Chen Wei raised a cup of wine.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cao Jing was dumbfounded.
He didn't even know what he was here for when he entered the monarch's residence.
Today, he was summoned by the monarch to the main hall for a meeting.
He was just a prime minister, so he was especially nervous when he arrived at the main hall.
He didn't know why the king had called him over.
Therefore, he was very cautious and restrained.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Cao Jing felt a little dizzy and relaxed. However, he was still very confused about this matter.
Why did the king change his personality?
It had been more than half a month since the last meeting at the king's manor. Why did he suddenly think of him?
Cao Jing was not a fool.
He knew that the monarch must have a motive for inviting him into the palace.
Music started playing.
The music of the Chen Nation in the south was very simple and unadorned. The sheng bells, chimes, and jade xun resounded with pleasant music.
The maids were dancing in the main hall. Their figures were beautiful and beautiful. They were dressed in thin silk gauze, making people daydream.
Chen Wei drank while observing Cao Jing's expression.
This fellow was really too wretched.
His eyes stared at the figures of the maids without moving, and he rubbed his hands.
However, Chen Wei smiled coldly.
This was his chance.
Cao Jing was a person who was easily broken through by external things.
"Doctor Cao, what do you think of my dancers? If you like them, you can choose one to enjoy.”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, maids, servants, and dancers were all objects.
In various countries, nobles would be given gifts to each other in order to curry favor with guests or to win over trusted aides.
However, in Chen Wei's eyes, it was extremely painful.
Naturally, he would not give Cao Jing those obedient maids in the Monarch's Residence.
They had been together for a long time and had developed feelings for each other.
He had spent a lot of money to hire these dancers from outside.
Cao Jing did not know.
Although he was the internal affairs officer, he hadn't asked about the matters of the monarch's residence in the past half a month.
Chen Wei's heart ached not for these beautiful dancers, but for the money.
It was very difficult to hire a group of well-trained dancers who were born as noble servants.
Chen Wei asked Jiang Yao, who was recuperating, to go to many places to buy them.
At this moment,
Cao Jing was shocked." This…this…hehe…I'm being disrespectful."”
"Ai, Doctor Cao, you can't say that. You are my beloved minister. Today, I will show mercy, so you can choose anyone.”
Cao Jing was tempted by Chen Wei's words.
After getting Chen Wei's guarantee, Cao Jing chose the most beautiful one.
Chen Wei snorted coldly. This kid had good taste.
"I thank Chen Jun for his gift!"
Cao Jing couldn't contain his joy and embraced the dancer, wishing he could go back and enjoy her immediately.
Chen Wei laughed and let him sit down again. He drank the rice wine in the cup in one gulp.
With Chen Wei's alcohol tolerance, this bit of wine was nothing.
However, he still pretended to be intoxicated and touched his forehead.
"In my heart, you, Doctor Cao, are the true pillar of the Chen Nation. Cai Wu, Peng Jie, and that…that Zuo Han are all villains.“
Cao Jing was taken aback, and he was extremely excited.
He did not expect Chen Wei to have such a high evaluation of him.
"Lord Chen, this subject…this subject is only a Grand Imperial Physician, and is not worthy of being compared to the other physicians!”
"Hey, if I say you are, then you are!”
"I…I fear!"
Chen Wei sighed." If it weren't for the order of the late king, I would have long conferred you the title of Grand Minister and let you manage this fief for me."”
Cao Jing was so scared that his face turned pale.
He could tell that Chen Wei was a little drunk, so he revealed the truth.
Don't let the three doctors Cai, Zuo, and Peng hear this.
Otherwise, he would be targeted.
