I... am really looking forward to that day!
After Dian Wei stepped down and accepted the punishment.
The morning court will also be over.
Just as the ministers were about to see the emperor and empress off,
Ying Yuan suddenly fixed his gaze on Cai Jing and said, "Prime Minister Cai, after court is dismissed, please come to Xuanzheng Hall. I have something important to discuss with you."
The court is full of treacherous ministers. If we don’t make good use of them, it would be a waste of this resource.
As of now, Cai Jing is the right prime minister, holding a high position and great power, commanding all officials.
If one wants to make trouble for the officials and cause the rapid fall of the Qin Dynasty, one must start with Cai Jing.
Hearing this, Cai Jing bowed and said, "I obey your command."
Although it was not clear what Ying Yuan was going to do when he summoned him.
But I think it might not be a good thing.
Since Your Majesty wants to consolidate power, then as the head of all officials, I am naturally the first choice for Your Majesty to take action.
Cai Jing had already anticipated the worst possible situation for himself today.
On the way out of the palace after court dismissal.
Many people came to ask Qin Hui why His Majesty summoned Cai Jing.
How could Qin Hui know?
He could only say to everyone earnestly, "Your Majesty has summoned Prime Minister Cai. No matter what the reason is, from today on, we must be careful.
Especially during this period of national crisis, you all should restrain yourself. Otherwise, if the enemy retreats, Your Majesty's prestige will grow, and the East Factory will target us.
If the enemy advances, the ten thousand soldiers within the palace will probably raise their butcher knives and kill us without hesitation."
When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked.
I secretly swore that during this period of time, I must be loyal to my duties, assist His Majesty, and overcome the difficulties together.
......
now.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Cai Jing slowly came over and saw Ying Yuan sitting at the desk. He immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live forever!"
He thought that the Emperor would settle the score with him next.
Ever since he learned about His Majesty's shocking methods yesterday, he has been thinking of the worst consequences for himself.
Confiscate property...or even exterminate the entire clan.
However, he never dreamed that the emperor would personally help him up, order someone to bring him a chair, and pour him a cup of tea.
For those who are not familiar with the situation in the court, this is like a scene of a wise king and virtuous ministers, all enjoying each other's happiness!
Your Majesty...is he planning to do something like the Hongmen Banquet?
Or do you want me to confess the crimes I have committed in recent years?
Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?
Cai Jing's heart couldn't help but become heavy.
