Cai Jing never thought that someone could see through the appearance of a treacherous minister and see his true nature of serving the people, and that someone was the current emperor.
Zhao Huan had no choice but to help Cai Jing to his seat again.
"Mr. Cai, take a look at this. I just made it up."
Zhao Huan took out a piece of white paper from the desk and handed it to Cai Jing. On it was an analysis of some of the reasons for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform.
"Excellent! Your Majesty is so talented. I was blinded by my own greed and wasted my time before not realizing your talent."
Zhao Huan smiled knowingly, but couldn't express his inner thoughts.
Thank you Professor Ma for visiting the Hundred Schools Forum and telling us about Cai Jing!
"Lord Cai, there's no need to regret. The Jin army is invading and will soon reach Bianliang. More and more refugees are fleeing to Bianliang. I hope Lord Cai can take over this matter. No one in the court is more suitable for this task than you."
As soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, Cai Jing agreed immediately.
"I thank Your Majesty. I am grateful for your trust and am willing to contribute another one million taels of silver to accomplish this."
"That's great!"
"Lord Cai, if you accomplish this, your prestige in Bianliang City will surely soar. As long as your descendants don't rebel in the future, you can rest assured."
In return, Zhao Huan gave Cai Jing the promise he wanted.
"I bow to thank God for His grace!"
Zhao Huan gently touched the tea bowl with the tea lid, and Cai Jing left Funing Hall with satisfaction.
The gap between the advanced nature of the reform and the backwardness of social reality is too large, and there is no soil for the reform to adapt.
Cai Jing pondered the analysis of the reasons for the failure of the reform written on the white paper.
Your Majesty, at such a young age, has already fully understood things that I only figured out before my death. Your Majesty's political talent is truly unfathomable.
In the inner room of the dormitory, the young man who had been holding back for a long time walked up to Zhao Huan with an angry look on his face and said with hatred, "I don't believe a word that old thief Cai said."
"Forget words, I don't even believe a single punctuation mark."
"Then why did you entrust him with such an important task and give him the opportunity to do good things and clear his name."
"Even a centipede dies, its legs remain stiff. How can the affairs of the court be resolved by simply killing one person?"
Zhao Huan spread his hands towards the young man and said:
“It’s impossible and unrealistic to catch all the bad guys in one fell swoop. There must always be someone doing the work in the court.
Now, the Jin soldiers have invaded, and the people of Bianliang are in a state of panic. It would cost so much money to appease them. One million taels of silver, do you have the money? If you had the money, I would immediately dismiss Cai Jing from his post and banish him to the ends of the earth."
"I...I don't have any money either!"
What the hell are you talking about if you don’t have money? Just get out of here.
