"What qualifications do I have to be a minister? Chen Jun, don't flatter me."
Chen Wei smiled and was silent for a while.
"Doctor Cao," he suddenly said,"if I let you be a minister, are you capable?"”
Cao Jing's body trembled.
Sure enough,
Just as he thought,
Today, he came to the main hall to eat the monarch's banquet. He had other intentions!
However, he didn't expect…
This little monarch actually wanted him to be the minister!
Could it be that the Heavenly Fate of his clan was about to arrive?
"I…I…am willing!"
Even Cao Jing couldn't figure out why he had agreed so quickly.
Cai Wu was one of the top aristocrats in the country. How could a mere prime minister like him compete with Cai Wu for power?
Wasn't this courting death?
However, after Chen Wei hosted a banquet to entertain him warmly, gave him a beauty, revealed his thoughts when he was drunk, and tempted him with great power...
This series of combination punches made Cao Jing dizzy.
Chen Wei sneered in his heart. This Cao Jing had completely taken the bait.
"I know that you're worried that you won't be able to fight for power with Cai Wu. I have a plan that can topple the Cai Clan.”
Cao Jing didn't dare to speak. He quickly knelt on the ground and waited for orders.
"That Cai Wu sent a message to my clan brother that he colluded with the Yue people. I believe you know about this matter, Doctor Cao.”
"As long as you go to the Cai Residence and find the letter that Cai Wu and Cai Tao used to contact each other, I can help you destroy the Cai Clan.”
"At that time, in my opinion, the position of Great Minister will belong to you, Doctor Cao!”
Cao Jing's entire body was trembling, and his face was deathly pale.
This was…asking him to steal a letter from Cai Wu's house?
"This…This…I'm afraid Cai Situ will find out…"
"Ai, Doctor Cao, go ahead and do it. I will cover the rest for you. If the plan doesn't go well, I can guarantee your safety.”
With Chen Wei's assurance, Cao Jing became bolder all of a sudden.
Greed,
This was human greed.
If a person was controlled by greed, he would do things that he would not dare to think about.
"I! Don't refuse a hundred deaths!"
"Good! Good! Haha, you are indeed my confidant!”
At this moment,
In Chen Wei's eyes, the optical information above Cao Jing's head changed.
Cao Jing, Civil Affairs 46, Martial Arts 21, Loyalty 54.
His loyalty had increased from 34 to 54, which was a 20-point increase.
However, Chen Wei was not happy about it.
Cao Jing was a petty person, short-sighted and greedy. The increase in his loyalty was only temporary.
When he took the position of Situ, with Cao Jing's character, his loyalty would probably immediately drop to even lower points than before.
The system would adjust the loyalty of the character according to his personality.
This was just a numerical value. It did not mean that once loyalty increased, it would be locked on.
Even if it was Jiang Yao and Ying Xiao,
If Chen Wei did something that made them disappointed,
For example, if they directly persecuted their clan, their loyalty would probably drop greatly.
Obviously, it was a skill to be a good ruler.
To balance the loyalty between the various subordinates and divide their power,
Power was a good thing, and it must not be concentrated on any one person.
……
That night…
Cao Jing went back and thought hard for a long time.
He felt like he was dreaming about what had happened in the king's mansion.
However, the beauty he brought home made Cao Jing realize that it was all true.
In the end,
Cao Jing decided to take a gamble.
For his own future, for the future of the Cao Clan,
He had to take the position of the Great Minister.
He was very clear about the siege at the front line.
That was Cai Wu's handiwork.
The one who stayed at Nan Mu was Cai Wu's younger brother, Cai Tao.
He wouldn't believe it even if you said that Cai Wu didn't do it.
The next day.
Cao Jing was in high spirits after spending a night with a beauty.
The beauty helped him put on the skirt and the doctor's crown. He decided to go to the Cai residence as a guest.
They arrived at the Cai Residence in a three-horse carriage. The servant sent a message and finally welcomed Cao Jing in.
Cai Wu had also just woken up.
Cao Jing waited in the main room for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Cai Wu arrived.
"Doctor Cao, why have you come to my residence as a guest so early in the morning?”
Cao Jing thought for a moment. Before he came, he had already prepared a draft.
"Oh, Minister Cai, I'm here to discuss some state affairs with you…"
He rambled on and on, and the Internal Affairs Bureau and Situ also had political affairs in common.
Cao Jing said all this because he was waiting for an opportunity.
Today, he was prepared to stay at Cai Wu's house. As long as Cai Wu didn't chase him away, he wouldn't leave.
Cao Jing, who was like a sticky candy, talked about political affairs with Cai Wu for a few hours in the Cai residence.
Cai Wu was also very impatient. It wasn't until noon that he finally seized the opportunity and yawned.
"Doctor Cao, please take a seat. This Cai is in low spirits. The sun is high in the sky now. If there's anything, let's talk in the afternoon."
He was going to take an afternoon nap.
"Alright, Doctor Cai can go on your own.”
Cao Jing knew that his chance had come.
The main room of the Cai Residence was only about twenty steps away from his study. After Cai Wu left, Cao Jing had made a lot of mental preparations.
Finally, he made up his mind.
He stepped out of the main room,
That letter must be in Cai Wu's study.
"Where is Doctor Cao going?"
All of a sudden,
A voice suddenly sounded behind Cao Jing.
He turned around and saw that it was Cai Wu's retainer, Gu She.
"So it's Gushe. This Cao has been sitting for a long time and has a sore back. I want to take a walk in the courtyard outside the residence.”
Although Cao Jing was a villain, his acting skills were not bad.
Gu She smiled." Doctor Cao, you don't know where my courtyard is. Let Gu She lead the way."”
