Chapter 447: The 8th Wise King is angry! Cai Jing is angry
"My Lord, something is wrong!"
After Yao Chao heard the words of the Eighth Wise King, his face instantly turned grim!
"What's wrong!?"
The Eighth Wise King asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, with Jiang Chen's ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to get drunk so easily."
"I have concluded that Jiang Chen... must be acting!"
"His purpose is to prevent the prince from testing him!"
Yao Chao said with a serious expression.
"This... Are you saying that Jiang Chen doesn't want to join me at all!?"
"You...you keep saying that Jiang Chen is lustful. Zhirou can take down Jiang Chen!"
"Now... now you..."
The Eighth Wise King’s face turned blue with anger!
He really likes Zhirou!
"Your Majesty, this is very likely the case now, but it is not certain yet, so don't be too anxious!"
"Besides, as long as Zhirou is by Jiang Chen's side, it will be beneficial to us!"
"When the time comes, if we want to obtain information about Jiang Chen, or even assassinate Jiang Chen, we can do it!"
Yao Chao said grimly.
"Hmph! I hope you won't disappoint me this time!"
The Eighth Wise King said this coldly, then turned and left!
He is already angry!
I paid for a beautiful woman, but the job was not done!
How could the Eighth Wise King not be angry!?
Yao Chao looked at the Eighth Wise King's leaving back and felt helpless.
Can the character of the Eighth Wise Kings really enable them to accomplish great things?
But, if he doesn’t follow the Eighth Wise King, who else can he follow! ? "
At the same time, the Dajing court!
"Your Majesty, the envoy who went to the border has brought back news!"
As soon as the court session started, Cai Jing jumped out!
"What news? Tell me!"
Emperor Dajing's disgust for Cai Jing has reached the extreme!
……
Because, now, only one out of ten civil servants are left in this hall!
And all this was secretly done by Cai Jing!
How could he not know!?
"Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by the envoy, Dakang and the grassland are both short of food due to drought, so they want to borrow grain from Dajing!"
"As long as my Dajing agrees, they will withdraw their troops!" Cai Jing said with a smile.
In his opinion, if it was just to borrow grain, Emperor Dajing would definitely agree!
By then, he will make some secret plans and probably make a lot of money again!
"Borrow food!?"
The Emperor of Dajing said coldly: "Where can I find surplus food in Dajing!"
"We have a severe drought in the south of Dajing, and all counties are affected!"
"Now, Dakang and the grassland want to borrow food from us. Where can we find food?!"
When Emperor Dajing said this, Cai Jing was stunned for a moment!
Why does this Emperor Dajing seem to be getting harder and harder to control?!
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
When General Feng heard what Emperor Dajing said, he immediately stood up!
"Your Majesty, we, the Dajing Border Army, are not vegetarians!"
"Especially now that we have stirrups and horseshoes, our combat effectiveness has been raised to more than one level!"
"If Dakang and Caoyuan dare to mess around, we will definitely be able to defeat them!"
"That's right! Your Majesty, please allow us to go into battle and defeat the enemy!"
"Your Majesty, we Dajing cannot surrender!"
"Your Majesty, let's fight!"
"His Majesty……"
Everyone was chattering.
When Cai Jing saw all these generals standing up, his heart was filled with regret!
If I had known this earlier, I would not have allowed those civil servants to resign!
Now, he doesn't have any helpers!
In the past, in this situation, there would be countless civil servants helping him without him having to ask!
Now, he can only do it himself!
……
"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"
Cai Jing said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, we Dajing just fought with the grassland, and now we are resting and recuperating!"
"Plus, there is a severe drought inside. If a war breaks out, then we in Dajing... will definitely suffer!"
"Your Majesty...don't act on impulse!"
"Cai Jing! How dare you say that His Majesty is acting on impulse! How dare you!" General Feng roared angrily when he heard Cai Jing's words!
Cai Jing had done this to him many times before!
He can finally get his revenge today!
"Your Majesty, I...I am also thinking about Dajing, and I just said something wrong!"
"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
Cai Jing was covered in cold sweat!
I didn't expect that those soldiers could actually plot against people!
He almost got into trouble!
At this time, Emperor Dajing's face was gloomy.
Caoyuan and Dakang came to borrow grain, so he naturally didn't want to agree!
But what Cai Jing said also makes sense.
They had just fought a great battle with the grassland, and had the upper hand.
However, the soldiers still need to rest!
What's more, Dakang is here this time!
If a fight breaks out, Dajing may not be able to gain the upper hand!
if so……
"My dear ministers, there is no need to say more. I need to think about these matters carefully. Whether it is a war or borrowing grain, it is not something that can be agreed to casually!"
"Lord Cai, please inform the Minister of Revenue to immediately give me a clear count of how much grain and grass Dajing still has!"
"If he doesn't count the totals within three days, he will have to quit his job as the Minister of Finance!"
Emperor Dajing said coldly.
"Your Majesty is wise! I will inform you when I get back!"
Cai Jing was extremely excited when he heard this!
Emperor Dajing, now you are inclined to borrow grain!
……
"Your Majesty, because of the incident involving the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, all civil officials are in danger and dare not go to court!"
"Now, Dajing is facing internal and external troubles, and we cannot do without these civil officials!"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you invite these people back!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Cai Jing hurriedly told the matter.
"Let me invite them!?"
"Lord Cai, do you know what you are talking about!?"
Emperor Dajing asked coldly!
"Your Majesty, it has always been a shame to be courteous to the wise and humble."
"Even if the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel made a mistake, Your Majesty could have fined him a year's salary instead of demoting him to a commoner!"
"Your Majesty's actions have indeed hurt the hearts of the civil servants!"
"Civil officials are not as good as military generals because they cannot achieve military merits and be granted titles of nobility."
"Your Majesty is so strict now. How will the civil officials cope with this in the future?"
Cai Jing spoke earnestly.
Emperor Dajing gritted his teeth in anger!
He really wants to kill Cai Jing!
Did Cai Jing really think that he was out of tune and that all this was done by Cai Jing! ?
"Okay, since Lord Cai said so, I will give them a chance!"
"Order the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to return to his post!"
"One year's salary deduction!"
"Retreat!"
Emperor Dajing gritted his teeth and said these words, then stood up and left!
Eunuch Zhang saw this and followed.
The two of them walked all the way to the imperial study.
But after entering the imperial study, Emperor Dajing was already extremely angry!
"Zhang Aiqing! Did you see that?!"
"Then Cai Jing can no longer suppress his desire to become prime minister!"
"Now he is colluding with those civil servants to do evil things!"
"If...if I don't control the power of the civil servants, I'm afraid I'll be sidelined!"
