Han You just adapted to the rules of the game, which doesn't mean he wants to abide by them.
Especially the act of pretending to be false, Han You didn't want to pretend too much and felt tired.
"How about Mr. Zhao, just get straight to the point."
Han You rubbed his waist, squatted down and raised his head and said, "Just tell me how you want to trick me. Don't beat around the bush."
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Tai suddenly became unhappy: "Colonel Han is a member of the Emperor's personal army, how can I deceive you?"
"You swear, you will trick me and kill your whole family."
"Childish." Zhao Tai snorted: "Don't say it."
"Then you're cheating on me."
"Oh, it won't matter if I trick you... No, I didn't trick you."
"What the hell did you say?"
"This..." Zhao Tai lowered his head, feeling that it was a bit impolite to be condescending to Han You, but squatting down was not in line with his status.
Han You has completely lost his patience: "What are you doing, are you okay?"
"have."
Zhao Tai lifted his official robe and squatted next to Han You.
This squatting made Zhao Tai feel awkward all over. He lowered his head subconsciously when he saw people coming and going, fearing that someone would recognize him, as if squatting here was worth a discount.
"Captain Han, I am looking for you today because I have two things to trap... No, I have two things to discuss with you."
Han You rolled his eyes: "You spilled the beans again."
Zhao Tai smiled slightly: "That's all, I also know a thing or two about your personality and temperament, so I will speak frankly."
"explain."
"I have to do two things for you. First, I want to impeach Shen Tu Gang's old party in Shangshu Province and the court. Second, Lieutenant Han will volunteer to supervise the scientific examination of the Ministry of Rites."
Han You looked at the ants crawling along the boots and said expressionlessly: "I won't ask you why. I just want to ask you one thing. What are the benefits to me?"
"I owe you a favor. If someone in the court criticizes you due to personal grudges, I will protect you and escape."
"Okay, now let's talk about the reason."
Han You smiled. He liked this way of communication very much, it was simple and straightforward.
"The first thing is that Shangshu Sheng, Yu Gong, Shen Tugang promoted cronies on a large scale. I dare not say that all Shangshu Sheng are just drunkards, but there are also many people who seek personal gain with power. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so I cannot let them go. He is in a high position and is selfish. I want to be a minister and a minister, so how can I appoint Shen Tu Gang's cronies?"
"It makes sense, what about the second thing."
"The second thing is that the imperial examinations are for the public. The imperial examinations in the previous dynasties were full of ills. Favoritism and malpractice were common among academic officials and students. Now that we are starting the Great Zhou Dynasty, we will follow the imperial examination method of the previous dynasty. Officials and students from all academic circles will definitely use all their means. There have been enough frauds like the previous dynasty, and there are already enough people who wear official robes and use official robes to pretend to be numbers. I cannot ignore it and care about my own affairs. If there is no accident, the prime minister of this country should be from me and the Minister of Rites. Mr. Qian Ji is selected from among Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is responsible for the imperial examination. If the Yidao Guards supervise, they will definitely find out unfair officials and lawless students. At that time, Mr. Qian will not be able to hold the position of Prime Minister and Assistant."
"I understand." Han You snapped his fingers, turned his head and said with a half-smile: "The first thing is, there are many people in Shangshu Province who you don't like now or will not like in the future. In addition to being related to Shen Tu Gang, these people , all come from aristocratic families. If you take them all down, you will definitely offend many, many people. You don’t want to offend people, so you want to use my hand to get rid of them, because I am the one who talks about the affairs of the Yi Dao Guard, and the official department only They can report, expose, or make suggestions, but they cannot search for evidence, Yidawei can."
"good."
"The second thing is the Ministry of Rites' scientific examination. The Ministry of Personnel cannot intervene in the early stage, so you want the Yi Daowei to participate in this scientific examination, and finally catch the officials and candidates of the Ministry of Rites who engage in malpractice for personal gain, so that Master Qian, the Minister of Rites, will lose his face. "
"good."
Han You groaned, stood up, patted his butt, and pointed to the direction of the exit: "Slow down, don't send me away."
Zhao Tai also stood up and asked with confusion: "What does Captain Han mean by this?"
Han You rolled his eyes: "It means I agree. Thank you Mr. Zhao for giving me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to offend people. Brother, I am grateful and will definitely offend all the noble families and officials of the Ministry of Etiquette for you."
"Is it true?" Zhao Tai said with joy on his face: "If so, I owe you a big favor, and you will be rewarded generously in the future."
Han You was stunned: "Brother, are you not mentally ill? Can't you tell that what I said was ironic?"
Zhao Tai smiled slightly: "Of course I heard it, so what I said was ironic."
Han You was stunned for a long while: "Do you think you are very funny?"
"Each other."
Han You: "..."
Zhao Tai was still cheerful and squatted down again.
Han You also squatted down, looking very strange.
He knew all the six ministers, especially the Ministry of Personnel, the real power department that controlled the life and death of officials. How could he not know more about it.
I have heard about Zhao Tai many times from Beimen Yuyong, who is in charge of the official department.
The Zhao family is an evergreen tree in the political arena. Zhao Tai, the representative of the Zhao family in the court, the eldest son and grandson, is also the eldest son of the head of the Zhao family.
This guy's ability can be seen from one thing, that is, he can't find any fault, not even a single fault.
Whether in the previous dynasty or in this dynasty, there are three common reasons why officials are criticized or captured.
1. The level of handling government affairs is not good.
Second, the character is not good.
Third, the background is not good.
It is difficult to find three officials in the court who are both good and bad. There are very few, but there is at least one, and that is Zhao Tai.
Let’s talk about the level of handling government affairs first. This guy was destined to be an official from the moment he was born. As soon as a child can speak, his first words are either “daddy” or “mother”. This guy may be the first What he said was "the official".
That is to say, every step of Zhao Tai's birth, growth, and appointment as an official was arranged by his family. Every day, he lived according to the way the family asked him to live.
Let’s talk about education. They are all customized by private individuals. You can imagine their level of ability. If you become a Guanzhenglang in the scientific examination, you will go to the Ministry of Personnel, because this is also destined. Others want to watch the government, and Zhao After Tai leaves, he will be able to take charge.
Therefore, this guy's level is better than 99% of people.
Let’s talk about character. The so-called character is generally related to money, beauty, and temperament.
This guy has grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth. To him, money is really just a set of numbers.
Beautiful, most others have eaten good pork, he may have grown up in a pig farm, so he has never seen any women.
His temperament, his ancestors were from a noble family during the Warring States Period, and it has been passed down to this day. After so many years of mixed life, he has never been embarrassed by anyone. He is an official, three-character, and upright.
Finally, let’s talk about the background. The Zhao family does not need a background, because they themselves are the background, the relationship, and the behemoth that countless people want to curry favor with.
Therefore, Zhao Tai has never been impeached by anyone until now, not only because he comes from the Zhao family, but also because he can't find fault.
This guy is perfect, so perfect that he may not be the most capable minister, but he must be the one the court needs most.
It's so perfect that he can impeach others, and if others want to mess with him, they can't find anything wrong with him.
It was so perfect that no matter who was the emperor, as long as he was not crazy, he would be polite to him.
Zhao Tai, a minister in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was rich, powerful, handsome, and talented. He was the kind of guy who made people think that even though he had a group of wives, concubines, and slaves, and lived an extremely extravagant life with delicacies and delicacies, it still made people think that this guy This is how an official should live.
Others win at most at the starting line and reach the finish line early. He belongs to the finish line and follows him.
Han You finally asked the biggest confusion in his heart: "Why are you looking for me?"
"Only you are not afraid of being in trouble with the Ministry of Etiquette or provoking Mr. Qian."
"Why should I help you?"
"I told you that I owe you a favor."
Han You shook his head: "I don't like this kind of vague favor, so be more specific."
Zhao Tai suddenly looked to the south and whispered: "Zhou Tianfeng."
"Zhou Tianfeng?!" Han You's pupils shrank suddenly: "Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know. If you want to know, you will definitely know."
Zhao Tai said with a smile: "If you help me, I owe you a favor. One day I will learn about Zhou Tianfeng..."
"No, two." Han You raised two fingers: "Chasing Shen Tu Gang's old party and intervening in the imperial examination are two different things. Offending a noble family and offending the Ministry of Rites are also two different things. So, at least two favors."
"Besides Zhou Tianfeng, who else do you want?"
“I don’t want people, I want power.”
"right."
"right?"
"Yes." Han You stood up, straightened his clothes, and saluted the sky: "A person who will carry forward the knowledge of Confucius and Saints."
Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and cupped his hands: "Farewell."
"You're not waiting for a while. What do you mean? Just leave."
"Just pretend that I haven't been here."
"Ah?" Han You looked confused: "Didn't we talk well? I almost agreed to you."
"I have a premonition." Zhao Tai stared at Han You and said, "If I make friends with you, I will steal the chicken but lose the rice. Take my leave."
Han You: "..."
Zhao Tai left immediately without any nostalgia.
Han You was shocked. Is this guy's premonition... so accurate?
By the way, Zhao Tai also has another big characteristic. The reason why he can't find any faults is precisely because this guy, as the official minister, is too cautious, almost paranoid.
"Why is Mr. Zhao so weird?"
Behind him, Lu Baichuan looked confused: "Why did you just leave just like that?"
Wang Hai looked at Zhao Tai's back and whispered: "He wanted to play with the young master, but he realized that not only would he not be able to play with the young master, but he would also be played by the young master, so he made a quick decision and left."
I have to say that Brother Hai's analysis is very accurate. This is the characteristic of Zhao Tai. I would rather not be able to play with you than be played by you. I can be inappropriate as Zaifu, but I have to guarantee my bottom line and continue to be the minister.
This is the Zhao family's family philosophy, one word, not greedy.
