Facing Han You, Boss Zhou explained the situation without any concealment.
At first, he really didn't want Zhao Tai to be the prime minister.
If he comes from the Zhao family, controls the staff, and then becomes a prime minister, then he is still playing tricks on the emperor. From all aspects, it is impossible for Atai to ascend to the throne.
After the scientific examination, Zhao Tai's influence in the court was obviously not as good as before, and everyone with a discerning eye could see it, including the emperor.
It's easy to understand. The Zhao family is the head of the family, and Zhao Tai is the next head of the family. Officials from the family must look at Zhao Tai's face.
However, not everything he does will get the support of all the courtiers of the family. Only things that infringe on the interests of the family or seek benefits for the family will receive unconditional support once Zhao Tai proposes it.
But the scientific examination obviously violated the interests of the aristocratic families.
It’s not that the aristocratic families and courtiers would not allow it after the scientific examination was fair, open and just.
Anyway, those who take the scientific examination are all from aristocratic families, and most of the scholars are from aristocratic families. At most, the competition will be fair in the future.
The main reason is that Zhao Tai did not show the proper attitude of "taking charge". Han You and Qian Ji suddenly took away the honors of so many scholars, but you, Zhao Tai, were indifferent. What does this mean?
So this inevitably made many people think that Zhao Tai had compromised with the emperor in order to become prime minister.
A person who has compromised with the emperor will not be allowed to be the prime minister by a noble family. The prime minister does not need to be completely partial to the noble family, but he must at least be "fair". Whether the noble family challenges the imperial power or the imperial power wants to persecute the noble family, the prime minister will always He had to stand up and suppress the family, or persuade the emperor.
In fact, Zhao Tai also messed with a lot of people at the beginning, but it was just an exchange of interests secretly done by the Zhao family for him.
The imperial examination is different. Who should the Zhao family look for to finish the exam? The families of those candidates?
It's simply impossible. Most of the candidates are not from real aristocratic families. One is because of the large number of people, and the other is because of the price reduction.
Zhao Tai didn't show an attitude, and he wanted to be the prime minister after all. This made many people have a question mark in their hearts. They were waiting and watching, neither supporting nor openly opposing.
The emperor was happy to hear it, but Zhao Tai came to the palace and basically asked the emperor bluntly, what should I, Artai, do so that you, the Eighth Prince, can safely hand over the position of Prime Minister and Assistant to me.
Zhou Laoba is also a real Der. He directly said that he wanted the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty, not the Prime Minister of aristocratic families.
This sentence seems to have no problem, but in fact it is a big problem. It is equivalent to the emperor telling Zhao Tai directly, you are not good, you are not strong enough, it is impossible for you to be the prime minister. Of course, it is not that you are not capable, it is impossible if you are not capable. I asked you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You are really very capable. It is a pity that if you were not from the Zhao family, I would still hand over the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to you. But just because you are from the Zhao family, the position of Prime Minister and Fu cannot be held. Give it to you, at least I can’t give it to you at this stage.
In the end, with just such a chat, Zhao Tai was able to break his defense.
No one knew what the Minister of Civil Affairs was thinking. After a few days of silence, the general suddenly gave Wen and Wu a plan after the court today and asked him to hand it over to the emperor. In other words, he wanted to thoroughly investigate the Nandi family's "corruption of ink" in Nandi. The matter of military rations and pay.
It is impossible for the emperor to investigate, and Zhao Tai does not want to investigate. The reason why this document is included is actually a certificate of surrender. It can be said that if the emperor reads this document written by Zhao Tai himself in the court, nothing else will happen. He said that Zhao Tai was absolutely doomed and that the Zhao family would not let him go. This was obviously the behavior of a young man.
"are you crazy!"
Han You started to spray, almost spitting on Lao Ba's face: "Either, don't propose a choice from the beginning, or, if you propose it, don't tell Zhao Tai that you never wanted him to be Zaifu, I brought it up and then let him play with it. Tell them that you don’t want him to do it. If not, brother, tell me what you think?”
Han You was really mad: "Now I have doubts about how you, the emperor, came here. It couldn't be a gift from the big brother on the list. Do you have any brains?"
Lao Ba lowered his head and his face turned red.
Wen Wu didn't hesitate at all this time. He didn't shout "bold" at all and allowed Han You to scold him what he wanted to scold.
"Oh, at that time I was also... I also wanted to openly announce it to Zhao Tai. Besides, it's not that I don't want to call him Prime Minister, but it's just that I can't do it now."
Boss Zhou blushed and murmured: "I thought that the candid announcement would make Zhao Tai understand my painstaking efforts. Maybe seeing me being so frank and caring to him, he might follow me wholeheartedly in the future."
"You're thinking too much, damn it."
Han You really didn't know how to scold him.
He is not a newcomer to officialdom, so he understands the twists and turns involved.
The emperor curled his lips: "I didn't know he could make such a determination and be willing to be enemies with the Zhao family, the Nandi family, and the world's aristocratic families. Isn't this crazy?"
After looking at Han You cautiously, the emperor said aggrievedly: "As you know, I am a military commander and I am outspoken."
"I'm sorry..."
Han You was completely convinced. He couldn't figure out how these words came from the mouth of an emperor who ruled the world.
Sighing, Han You didn't know what to say.
It’s not that the emperor is a retard, it can only be said that Boss Zhou is really broad-minded and told Zhao Tai bluntly, I won’t play with you anymore, you just run errands for me honestly, I recognize your ability, Zaifu can give it to you, but not Now.
Bosses all like to draw big cakes, but Boss Zhou doesn't like it, and he really means it.
Lao Ba knows that the aristocratic family can never be wiped out completely, and the Zhao family can stay as long as they have no rebellious intentions. After all, they have made a lot of contributions to the country. There is no problem for the Zhao family to have a prime minister, but they have to wait for Lao Ba. Batang had to take action to make the Zhao family not so strong.
In fact, this can be regarded as a guarantee to a certain extent. Zhao Tai is still young. Even if Lao Qian takes over, he can still work for a few years. If Lao Qian goes down, Zhao Tai might be able to get up.
The problem is that Zhao Tai is really crazy. What about this and that in the future? Artai, I want it now, immediately, immediately. Don’t you think that I am from the Zhao family? Well, I will break up with the Zhao family, and even go against the world’s famous families. This way You can always let me be the prime minister.
Then a problem arises, a very acute question arises.
You have already broken up with the Zhao family, and you have been made to be the prime minister.
The purpose of making you the Minister of Civil Affairs in the first place was to win over the Zhao family.
It’s true that you, Zhao Tai, are very capable, but to be able to get to where you are today is because of the great efforts of the Zhao family behind you.
If you break up with the Zhao family now, it is true that you can be a good prime minister with your ability, but your Zhao family will definitely not tolerate you.
This is tantamount to the emperor wooing Zhao Tai, and then letting the Zhao family bear a grudge.
Zhao Tai, who is not from the Zhao family, is not of much use to Boss Zhou.
Zhao Tai, who is hated by the Zhao family, is very harmful to Boss Zhou.
Han You was speechless: "You are really my big brother!"
The emperor smiled happily and said: "We have different surnames, brothers with different surnames."
"Am I complimenting you?" Han You gave a thumbs up: "I am convinced. In Jiang Zhui's words, you are humble and humble. You are awesome."
On the contrary, the emperor was not happy: "I am the emperor after all. You can just complain for a few words. Why is it not over yet?"
Han You rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to the emperor. He scratched the back of his head and couldn't figure it out.
"Zhao Tai comes from the Zhao family. I have met him several times in private. This guy is extremely cautious. How could he be so determined for the position of prime minister?"
"Yes." Boss Zhou was also confused: "I understand him, he shouldn't be like this."
"That's strange. What is the reason that makes him break with the Zhao family and become an enemy of the famous families in the world, but he still wants to be the prime minister. Does he really want to be a wise minister and leave his name in history?"
Zhou Laoba was very happy: "The Zhao family will get rid of him without leaving any room, even if he is destined to die."
"How come you have the nerve to show off your joy?"
Han You stood up and frowned: "No, I have to see him. There is definitely a problem. The son of the aristocratic family will not betray the family easily. This is their foundation. People like Zhao Tai will not do it. He was in the villa before. Mr. Qian had talked about this matter with him at that time. Zhao Tai ran away, clearly showing that he was afraid of leaving the Zhao family. It was impossible to make this decision just because he gritted his teeth. I left and went to find Zhao Tai. .”
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The emperor waved his hands repeatedly: "Go, go now, hurry, hurry, hurry, you know what is going on, go to the palace and tell me, it's best to convince him, I believe you, go quickly."
Han You looked at the emperor, opened his mouth, swallowed the curse words in a daze, and left angrily.
Looking at Han You's back, Boss Zhou laughed: "Han You is the best at persuading others, and he will definitely share my worries."
Wenwu sighed silently, he felt it was enough.
In fact, Mr. Suan also finds this strange.
Other sons of aristocratic families may betray their families in order to gain high positions.
The position of Prime Minister and Fu, with one person under the command of ten thousand people, is indeed a high official position, but the position of Prime Minister and Fu will not make Zhao Tai of the Zhao family betray the Zhao family.
If such a young man appears in the Zhao family, whether in order to protect his own face or to frighten other family members, he will definitely do anything to get rid of Zhao Tai, or at least pull Zhao Tai from the position of prime minister.
I have trained you for decades and paved the way for you for decades. If you say you want to go solo, then go solo. What’s wrong?
Zhao Tai was not a fool, so he would not understand this truth. Even if the emperor asked him to be the prime minister, how many days would he be able to do it?
So this is a very puzzling question. What was the reason that made Zhao Tai go all out and betray the family in order to become the prime minister?
After Zhou Laoba returned to the imperial court, he once again looked at Zhao Tai's "voucher of name", which is also the certificate, and frowned.
After watching it several times in succession, Boss Zhou's expression changed drastically: "Could something happen in Nandi? Could it be that the Zhao family fell in love with the traitor Zhou Tianfeng?"
"Won't."
Eunuch Suan shook his head: "General Yu replied to the secret letter three days ago. The head of the Zhao family and the clan leader privately visited several generals in the Zhechong Mansion to inquire about Zhou Tianfeng. They seemed to want to get rid of him quickly, probably because they were afraid of your misunderstanding. "
"Too."
Boss Zhou nodded. He knew that the Zhao family was very satisfied with their current status. He, Zhou Ke, also kept his promise and did not touch the family, let alone the Zhao family. The Zhao family would not idle around and help Zhou Tianfeng overthrow This dynasty.
"If something went wrong in Nandi, why is Zhao Tai so crazy?"
Mr. Suan stared at the sky. If this innocent man knew, I would never hear what you are doing here.
