Cai Jing stroked his beard and said, "Huizhi, you shouldn't have spoken to the Queen Mother like that. At this time, it is particularly important for us, as ministers, to take sides.
If you are right, you will have three generations of wealth and honor, but if you are wrong, you will have a generation of extinction. Do you think that the Queen Mother, with her methods, can be a match for His Majesty?"
He was reminding Qin Hui.
In this harem, it is better not to say some things.
Otherwise, if it gets to the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, it will inevitably cause trouble again.
Qin Hui was well aware of this, "Prime Minister Cai, if I don't say something, will there be any peace in our court from now on?
