Hearing this, Cao Jing quickly crawled out on his knees and shouted,""Wait!"
At this moment, the entire place was silent.
"Cao Situ, what's the matter?" Chen Wei frowned and looked at him.”
Cao Jing lowered his head and said respectfully,""Ruler, auspicious signs cannot be left behind!"
In that instant, everyone looked at him in shock.
Aren't you courting death by saying this?
He actually dared to ask the monarch to give up on the auspicious signs. This was a blessing from the heavens.
"Don't you know that holding a treasure brings sin?" Cao Jing asked.”
"If it wasn't for this auspicious sign, the Chen Nation would be independent from the south. If it had this auspicious sign, the Chen Nation would be coveted by all the other countries!”
Chen Wei was stunned. He narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Cao Jing to be such an idiot. What he said made sense.
Cao Jing continued," Now, the State of Chu is strong and powerful. The State of Wu and the State of Yue are all around us. The Southern Barbarians have entered the spiritual realm. There are tigers and wolves everywhere.”
"Although this auspicious sign is good, it is like a hot potato. If it attracts covetous and greedy thoughts, I, Da Ling, will not be able to handle it!”
"I hope that Ruler will think twice and not leave this auspicious sign in the Chen Nation!”
Chen Wei did not expect it.
Cao Jing's plan actually coincided with his.
He glanced at his optical information.
Situ Caojing, Civil Administration 66, Martial Arts 21, Loyalty 74.
Eh?
Civil governance and loyalty had both increased by 20 points?
F * ck!
Cao Jing was a talent with potential for growth!
Chen Wei didn't expect Cao Jing's change to be so great.
Ever since the Cao family became the Minister of State, Cao Jing studied the way of governing the country every day and tried to reform the country's politics. Of course, his ability had increased.
Although he was greedy, Cao Jing was actually loyal to the Chen Kingdom.
After all, the Cao Clan had always been a citizen of the Chen Country since the founding of the country.
Now that a hundred years had passed, the relationship between Cao Jing and the Chen Nation could not be easily separated.
Some people are like this.
You might say that he was greedy, but he was really capable.
For example, during the Qianlong period, there was a corrupt official named He Shen.
You said that Lord Qianlong's vision was like a torch. He had been an emperor for decades, how could he not know about Heshen's greed?
He knew.
But why didn't Qianlong punish Heshen?
Because he couldn't leave Heshen.
Heshen's ability was obvious to all. Whatever Qianlong needed to do, only Heshen had the ability to help him.
This was what he relied on.
There was another story.
After Master Qianlong abdicated, he was old and muddle-headed, so no one could hear him clearly.
However, He Shen was the only one who could hear clearly and understand what Lord Qianlong meant.
This was his ability.
Cao Jing's disloyalty came from his unwillingness.
Ever since Chen Wei ascended the throne, Cao Jing's abilities had been useless.
Although he fawned over Cai Wu on the surface, he held Cai Wu in contempt.
He had always thought that one day he would be able to take over and lead the country.
He became a powerful minister under ten thousand people.
This was Cao Jing's ambition.
Now that his ambition had been realized, it was time for him to show off.
The optical value given by the system was not fixed because it could change at any time.
For example,
When Chen Wei appeared with the white tiger in his arms, the loyalty of the officials had increased greatly at the same time.
This included Cao Jing.
Chen Wei even saw that a few people's loyalty had reached the peak, reaching 110.
But now, after Cao Jing's remonstrance, many people's loyalty had dropped and cooled down.
The 110s also quickly returned to their original state.
In general, the loyalty of the officials had increased.
But most people were still rational.
Chen Wei felt that this was very normal.
The complexity of human nature was that no matter how powerful the system was, no matter how advanced the technology was, it could turn the impossible into the possible, but it could not detect human nature.
Therefore, the system chose to use simple numbers to express people's personalities.
Humans were humans because of this.
Chen Wei felt that even if humans reached the top one day and evolved from three-dimensional animals to five-dimensional or ten-dimensional animals, human nature would still be complicated.
Only complex human nature could create infinite possibilities.
Cao Jing's change also made Chen Wei aware of it.
If this Cao Jing was really a talent,
Perhaps Chen Wei would consider carefully and use his talents.
Although he was greedy, he was capable!
He had been the prime minister for so many years and was suppressed by Cai Wu, so he couldn't display his talents. The system's evaluation was naturally only that little.
Now that he was a minister, it was normal for his talent to increase.
Chen Wei nodded.”
"You and I are thinking the same thing, hahaha…"
Cao Jing was stunned, and the ministers were also surprised.
Coincidence?
In that case, the little monarch did not have any intention of leaving behind this auspicious sign?
Cao Jing hurriedly bowed." Then why did the monarch use this auspicious sign to offer sacrifices before the wax sacrifice?" Announce it to the nations?"
Chen Wei smiled and waved his sleeves." It's cold outside. Ministers, follow me into the tent!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Very soon,
Everyone gathered in the tent.
Some maids filled the stove with coal. The tent was as warm as spring, and the officials all heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Wei waved his sleeves and sat on the ground.
Two maids immediately walked up to Chen Wei and massaged his shoulders and legs.
"All of you are my important ministers and the pillars of the Chen Kingdom. There is no need for me to hide this matter from you.”
"I have a motive for offering sacrifices in advance.”
Cao Jing and the ministers were stunned. Everyone looked at each other and waited for Chen Wei to continue.
"Right now, powerful countries are surrounding us. Chu is in the west, Wu is in the north, Yue is in the east, and the barbarians are in the south.”
"A few days ago, the Southern Barbarians invaded the borders of our Great Spirit Kingdom and caused countless deaths and injuries.”
"Although I have General Ying Xiao to guard the border for my Great Spirit, I have no time to care about the east, west, and north.”
"To sum it up, it's all because our Chen Country is weak and our national strength is not good.”
"Just as Doctor Cao said, the auspicious signs from the heavens are actually the cause of our Great Spirit's calamity!”
"When a country is strong, it is auspicious. When a country is poor, disaster will come.”
"This is really a hot potato.”
