If you hadn't used your power to protect him when the East Factory was first established, I'm afraid he would have been imprisoned by now, right?"
He Shen understood exactly what he was worried about and said sternly, "I guarantee with my life that such a thing will never happen again."
It really won't happen.
Because if Heshen was determined not to be greedy, at least not now.
Then, the officials under him will be even less likely to engage in corruption.
After all, he is Heshen. Isn't it easy for him to know whether the officials under his command are honest?
Cai Jing nodded with satisfaction. "As an official, sometimes you really need to keep yourself clean. Only with a good reputation can you go further."
"Prime Minister Cai is right." Heshen bowed repeatedly.
After a pause, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Prime Minister Cai, as the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there are no fish. Since Liang Ji has the ability to make money, you can let him do it.
As long as it's not too excessive, we should still protect such capable ministers."
Cai Jing smiled and shook his head. He then stood up and walked slowly out of the hall. He said to Cao Cao behind him, "Would you like to chat with me?"
Hearing this, the latter nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
The Secretariat's office was located within the imperial city.
There are several palaces and hundreds of officials.
It is definitely a core department of the imperial court.
As soon as Cai Jing stepped out of the palace, he felt a little out of breath.
Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly helped him up and said earnestly, "Prime Minister Cai, please take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Cai Jing shook his head indifferently, then sat on a step, and Cao Cao did the same.
After a long pause, before the former could speak, the latter said bluntly, "I'm afraid even you didn't expect that we would lose to the Queen, right?"
The former laughed and said, "It would be strange if she didn't lose. After all, she is His Majesty's woman. Besides, you and I are both underestimating our opponent. Besides, His Majesty has left her a backup plan."
"Backhand? What backhand?"
Cao Cao frowned.
Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty's prestige is her best backup plan. However, I am not worried about this matter.
After all, Your Majesty is still young, and that woman may not live longer than Your Majesty in the future.
Although these words may be disrespectful, they are the truth.
The Queen is very clever. If one day...
It’s not a good thing for a woman to be in power.”
"What Prime Minister Cai said makes sense."
Cao Cao said without hesitation, "However, Prime Minister Cai, please rest assured. The court is full of talented people, and Your Majesty is wise and powerful. What you are worried about will definitely not happen."
Cai Jing nodded and said, "Actually, I called you out because I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Cao Cao said.
Cai Jing asked, "What do you think of Qin Hui?"
Cao Cao was silent for a long while before he slowly said, "Prime Minister Qin has the talent to stabilize the country."
"shit."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "It is true that Qin Hui is talented, but I do not want him to become the Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty.
He is a person who always likes to compromise, compromise with those above him, compromise with those below him, compromise within himself, and compromise without him.
If you blindly think that you can compromise on anything as long as it is safe and sound, the best you can do is maintain the status quo.
But what the Great Qin needs now is not a prime minister who can maintain the status quo, but a prime minister who can assist His Majesty and get things done."
Cao Cao said sternly, "What do you mean, Prime Minister Cai? You are still strong and healthy..."
Before he could finish his words, Cai Jing interrupted him and said, "I am old, but I am still strong. After this power struggle, I am really exhausted.
The Qin Dynasty is full of talented people. I have been the prime minister for twenty years. If I continue to covet this position, I am afraid I will not have a good end.
But I do not want to hand over power to Qin Hui."
"What does Mr. Cai mean?"
Cao Cao used a respectful title.
Cai Jing said word by word, "These three words, 'Prime Minister Cao,' are quite pleasant to the ears."
