"In recent years, I have been thinking about retiring. At such a critical moment, if I am not careful, my name will be recorded in history and I will be infamous forever!"
He certainly didn't want to be described in history books as "likes to go to brothels"...
That would be a really bad reputation.
After all, who would want future generations to think that they like to visit brothels?
Is this polite?
This is not polite at all!
"Prime Minister, please don't be angry. I have already warned them. If they continue to spread this matter, I will send them to the military camp to train them for a few years."
Cao Cao laughed.
At this point, Cai Jing's emotions finally calmed down a bit. He shook his head and sighed, "It's all my fault for choosing the wrong people!"
It's not accidental.
Because Zhu Danxi still remembers that Cai Jing promised him.
If he could come back alive from Hangu Pass, Cai Jing would invite him to have fun in Zuixian Tower.
But since returning, Cai Jing has never mentioned this matter.
Zhu Danxi originally wanted to find him, but he was too busy.
Therefore, Zhu Danxi could only tell others about their drinking and prostitution at Zuixianlou.
I hope that when this reaches Cai Jing’s ears, he will know the promise he made.
After all, no matter what the hint is, it is not as real as the three words "Zuixianlou"!
After a pause, Cai Jing said seriously, "Meng De, you should pay more attention to Qin Hui's actions recently.
They already know that I am about to retire and have already begun to gather supporters. When the time comes, they will all recommend Qin Hui to Your Majesty as Prime Minister.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to take on the position of Prime Minister again."
This was the real reason why he wanted to meet Cao Cao alone.
Hearing this, Cao Cao said solemnly, "Actually, it's very simple to break the impasse. Wouldn't it be better if the Prime Minister retired a few years later?"
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "If things were really that simple, it would be easy to handle.
There have been too many things going on recently, and I am really feeling a little overwhelmed.
I am afraid that if I fall asleep one day, I will be held responsible by the court.
Moreover, in the past two years, His Majesty has been less inclined to accept my advice, so I should give up now."
He has his own concerns.
Today, the new forces in the court are extremely powerful.
It is indeed time for an old man like him to give up his position.
Moreover, everyone says that Cai Jing is a powerful minister.
He is so old now. Even if he doesn't consider himself, he should retire for the sake of his future generations.
The emperor was young, so he needed young ministers to assist him.
Among this group of young people, Cai Jing believed that only Cao Cao was the most suitable.
"Does Prime Minister Cai really think that I'm suitable for this position?"
Cao Cao asked.
Cai Jing nodded and said, "No one would be more suitable than you."
After a pause, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Then as the Prime Minister said, I will go and fight for that position."
When he made this decision, he had already put life and death aside.
Because throughout history, there has never been a reason for a prince to serve as the head of all officials.
But he was going to fight.
If he succeeds, the emperor might use him as a scapegoat to pave the way for future princes.
If he fails to win, he will be fought to death by Qin Hui and his party.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for him to take this step.
