"This, this is my negligence!"
After Chao Cuo turned over it, he was stunned for a moment and said quickly.
"We need to find a suitable person to handle this matter. Does Mr. Prime Minister have a suitable person?"
Liu Deng asked with a smile.
"There is no one who is very suitable for the moment. Does your Majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?"
"It's up to the Prime Minister to figure out the manpower matter. It's just that His Highness the King of Chu is really too narrow-minded. Therefore, what I mean is that we should find someone with general knowledge to properly advise His Highness the King of Chu!"
When Liu Deng said this, he also had a sneer on his face.
Although, for various reasons, Yuan Ang's death was placed on Li Ben's head.
However, Yuan Ang was Liu Deng's man after all. How could he let King Chu go unpunished like this?
"Then what the king means is..."
Seeing the murderous intent on Liu Deng's face, Chao Cuo asked in a low voice with his eyebrows twitching.
"I heard that among the three sons of King Chu, the youngest is already over 30 years old this year? The affairs of Chu State are complicated, so it would be better for the young people to put in some effort as soon as possible!"
"I'm afraid this won't be easy..."
Chao Cuo was stunned. Although this order of favor has been issued long ago, a truly big country like Chu State has never been enfeoffed!
"I asked someone to prepare a gift for His Highness King Chu. When I send someone back, I must let His Highness King Chu open it in person! I think His Highness King Chu should know how to advance and retreat!"
In any case, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on regarding Yuan Ang's death.
Everyone is also waiting for the court's punishment of King Chu. If this matter is not settled early, it will not be enough to calm the hearts of those who are ready to move.
Chao Cuo naturally knew this well.
To be honest, he originally just wanted to take this opportunity to test Liu Deng's feelings.
But I didn't expect that Liu Deng could actually achieve this step.
After all, Liu Deng himself can be regarded as a member of the princes and kings, and his sons and grandsons will naturally pass it on from generation to generation in the future.
Chao Cuo originally had no hope of implementing the favor order, but he didn't expect Liu Deng to be so decisive.
"What? Prime Minister, do you have any concerns?"
Seeing Chao Cuo deep in thought, Liu Deng asked with some confusion.
"No, no, it's just that I'm judging a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
While Chao Cuo was speaking, he took half a step back and then made a serious bow to Liu Deng.
"Master Prime Minister, do you think I will stop this?"
Liu Deng smiled but didn't say much.
"Chao Cuo underestimated the king's ambition!"
Chao Cuo's old face was really a little burning and painful.
"Hahahaha, actually, I am just a bastard. If His Majesty hadn't insisted on giving me this position, I would rather be at home with my wife and children on the bed!"
Liu Deng reached out and patted Chao Cuo on the shoulder, then smiled and walked towards his carriage.
"Your Majesty, Chao Cuo has a question. I don't know whether to answer it or not..."
Having said this, Chao Cuo was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity. He hurriedly followed after a few steps and then asked.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, speak directly!"
Finally, after finishing today's work, it turned out that the weather was quite early today. Looking at the red clouds on the horizon, Liu Deng's mood became much better.
"Your Majesty, all the princes and kings in the world are afraid of extending orders of grace. Why is it that King Du is not afraid at all?"
Chao Cuo finally asked his most curious question.
"This matter is very simple. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, have you never heard of the fact that a gentleman is worthy of being killed in five generations? I, Liu Deng, can make great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and the descendants of my Liu family can naturally do the same!"
"If after me, all of them are mediocre, then it would be a good choice to disappear into the crowd!"
Liu Deng smiled and said naturally.
"The king's mind is as big as that of the great ancestor, Chao Cuo admires him!"
After a long time, Chao Cuo took a deep breath and said sincerely.
"The Prime Minister is joking, how can I, a bastard, be compared with Emperor Taizu Gao?"
Liu Deng smiled, but didn't take it seriously.
He came from a later life, so he naturally knew what would happen if his virtue was not up to par. All the glory and wealth were just fleeting.
It is actually a disaster to promote a mediocre person to a high position, because most of the time he does not know what he can and cannot do, so it is the most normal thing to kill himself.
Rather than doing this, it would be better for him to slowly fade into oblivion. In this way, he might be able to ensure that his bloodline will remain in the world.
"Your Majesty is really too modest! Regarding this manpower matter, Your Majesty, otherwise..."
"Master Prime Minister, you are not honest! We have a division of labor. Are you targeting the manpower in my pocket?"
"Your Majesty, doesn't this belong to the Han Dynasty?"
Chao Cuo laughed, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
Only then did Liu Deng realize that he seemed to have underestimated this old fox. This guy was obviously eyeing the students in the academy.
In the blink of an eye, nearly five years have passed since those students entered the academy.
According to the rules of the academy, these students have to start their internship life.
In this day and age, that is a real rarity for scholars!
Although the Lingnan side has temporarily allowed those embryo killers to serve as local officials, problems have also arisen.
It is no problem for these guys to let them fight one by one, but to let them manage the land and people within hundreds of miles is already a waste of time.
However, if you ask them to write documents, it would be a bit overwhelming.
During the recent period, almost all the minor officials under the Prime Minister's Mansion were driven crazy by Lingnan's clerks.
It can be said that using the idiom "nonsense" to describe it is a bit vain.
It doesn’t matter that the handwriting on many documents is crooked, but the key point is that it is really a lot of nonsense. Even Chao Cuo himself didn’t believe it and went to read some of it.
After reading it, even he, a great scholar in the world, was confused.
Now, seeing that the first batch of students from the academy were about to come down, how could he be willing to give up such a good opportunity.
"That's what I said, but aren't you afraid that my fellow academy disciples will occupy high positions in the future and make you, the Prime Minister, a man in the shadows?"
Liu Deng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please stop joking. Just listen to the nonsense of those villains. If that day comes, I will be really happy! It is not easy for this big man to be the prime minister. ..."
When Chao Cuo said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister! Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
At this moment, Dou Ying, the newly appointed commander, suddenly chased after him.
"Yes, this is for you, I will leave first!"
Seeing Dou Ying coming, Liu Deng turned around and prepared to run away.
After finally getting off work early, he didn't want to work overtime, not to mention having to work overtime with a colleague who always wanted to steal things from his pocket.
