This is a great opportunity to be promoted and given a higher rank.
But after he finished speaking,
But they found that there was nothing but silence in the main hall.
After waiting for a while,
Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) also grew impatient.
“Cai You”.
When Cai You heard the emperor call his name,
Hurry up and step out of the line.
"The minister is here."
Zhao Ji looked at Cai You,
"When we previously discussed allying with the Jin to destroy the Liao,"
"You volunteered to serve as the deputy governor."
"Tong Guan, the Pacification Commissioner of Liaodong and the Two Rivers, led troops to suppress Fang La."
"I hereby order you, the Vice-Prefect, to lead troops to annihilate the Liangshan bandits,"
"Let's see which of you, the chief and deputy military commissioners, will be the first to return victorious!"
"The first to return to court will be promoted one rank."
Upon hearing this, Cai You turned ashen-faced.
He believed that with the Jin dynasty allied with Liao to destroy Liao, and with the veteran general Tong Guan leading the army, he could achieve his goal.
There were also elite troops from the Western Army.
In addition, the Liao Dynasty had already been reduced to a few remnants by the Jin Dynasty.
He was eager to become the deputy pacification commissioner.
They wanted to gain military merits and be promoted.
However, he was allowed to lead troops alone to attack Liangshan.
He, however, was self-aware.
Gao Kan led an army of 100,000, but still suffered defeat and death.
If he went, he would probably suffer an even greater defeat.
Chapter 1618 Envoy
Cai You was about to speak when
Zhao Ji had already stood up.
Go outside.
The head official also shouted, "Dismiss the court."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Cai You also bowed along with the others.
He immediately dashed out.
Wang Fu looked at Cai You's anxious expression.
Deliberately blocking Cai You,
"Congratulations, Lord Cai, on securing this wonderful position."
Cai You glared at Wang Fu.
They bypassed him and ran outside.
Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) had anticipated that Cai You would catch up.
After leaving the main hall, I walked slowly.
Seeing Cai You running up breathlessly, he laughed.
"Is there anything else, sir?"
Cai You hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell lately,"
"I beg Your Majesty to select someone else to lead the troops and annihilate the Liangshan bandits,"
"So as not to delay important matters of the court."
Zhao Ji's face hardened.
"Yesterday you were still playing the role of an actor in the palace,"
"He's jumping around like that, he doesn't have any illness."
"You dare to reprimand us in the main hall!"
"Are you trying to hide it from me again?"
Cai You noticed that Zhao Ji's usual playful demeanor had changed.
He quickly knelt down and said,
"How could your humble servant dare to deceive Your Majesty?"
"When I got up this morning, I felt unwell,"
"I felt even more pain all over my body when I was in the main hall,"
"It is truly difficult to withstand the bumpy ride of a carriage."
Zhao Ji kicked Cai You over.
"You've become addicted to playing the actor, haven't you?"
"And he was sweating profusely,"
"If I didn't know who you are,"
"You really fooled me."
"Should I send a few imperial physicians to take a look at you?"
Cai You lay on the ground,
Seeing that Zhao Ji had resumed his playful ways with them,
They also grew bolder.
Get up from the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise; we have not been able to hide anything from you."
Zhao Ji laughed and said, "I've known you since I was Prince Duan."
"You think I'd fool me?"
Upon hearing this, Cai You
Not ashamed
The way of taking pride in the opposite
"Your Majesty knows that I have never been on the battlefield,"
"This time, however, I am tasked with leading a large army to wipe out the Liangshan bandits."
"It doesn't matter if this humble servant dies,"
"I'm afraid that the loss of soldiers and generals will delay important matters of the court."
Zhao Ji glared at Cai You.
"Back when the conquest of Liao was discussed,"
"Why did you rush to become the deputy governor?"
Cai You certainly couldn't say he was trying to steal credit.
Although everyone knows it.
The emperor wanted to seize an opportunity to surpass Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu.
Becoming the first emperor of the Song Dynasty
They, on the other hand, planned to seize military merits and gain official positions and titles.
However, no one can break through this barrier.
Cai You said with a grin,
"His Majesty also knows that I am intelligent and eager to learn,"
"Although I've never been on the battlefield, I've been learning from Privy Councilor Tong,"
"He is capable of serving as a deputy governor."
"However, this time the Emperor has appointed me to lead the troops alone,"
"Isn't this a bit like forcing a duck onto a shelf?"
When Zhao Ji saw that Cai You was again using these colloquialisms to curry favor,
He kicked Cai You.
"Ouch!"
Cai You dramatically fell to the ground.
He rubbed the spot where Zhao Ji had kicked him.
Zhao Ji glared at Cai You.
"Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
"Rest assured, I grant you permission to select soldiers from across the country."
"You can mobilize 100,000 elite troops,"
"At that time, will we still be afraid of not being able to wipe out the 20,000 Liangshan bandits?"
"As long as you wipe out the Liangshan bandits,"
"Then I can promote you to a higher rank and title."
"Wang Fu still lacks some talent in governance,"
"Unfortunately, Prime Minister Cai was unwilling to ally with the Jin to destroy the Liao."
"Otherwise, with him in charge of all three provinces,"
"I can also have less to worry about."
Cai You, however, had finally managed to bring down his father.
He suppressed his younger brother, who was favored by Cai Jing.
Upon hearing this, he hurriedly got up and said,
"My father is old and frail,"
"How can we handle state affairs the same way we did in previous years?"
Then, with a grin, he said...
"I've learned about 80% of my father's political skills,"
"As long as His Majesty gives me the opportunity, I am capable of being a minor prime minister."
"From now on, both the elder and younger Cai ministers will be remembered in history."
