Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 197 Loyal Cai You!In front is the Kongming Lantern
Li Gan watched from the side as Cai You led a group of sons and evil yamen, cleaned up another group of sons and evil yamen, and finally asked his followers to take them away. It seems that there is still a follow-up to this matter , not over.

The people onlookers all applauded and applauded for them. Everyone could see that these sons and sisters had done something personal today.

It was the first time for a group of yamen to be looked at by the people with such admiration and admiration. For a while, they couldn't help but feel a little smug, with their hands on their hips, enjoying this feeling with a shy face.

It's just that Cai You didn't care about them, but walked towards Lu Bu and Li Gan quickly.

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

Cai You had a smile on his face that he thought was the most appropriate, but there was a lot of tension in his heart. He even forgot how to walk, and almost tripped himself.

Lu Bu got Li Gan's instruction, and walked up with a smile: "Brother Cai, long time no see."

Cai You chatted with him with a smile, and then invited him: "Brother Lu, I happened to eat there just now, now that it's over, do you want to go up for a drink or two?"

Lu Bu shook his head with a smile, and gave him a meaningful look: "Not today, brother, I'm still working, so I can't delay things because of drinking."

Cai You was startled: "Brother Lu is such an outstanding person, but he still works for someone else? Could it be the one just now..."

Lu Bu laughed: "No way, Habayashi guards have to eat too. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year come out to be a martial arts instructor in the rich man's house, and can earn some spare money..."

He turned his head and took a look, seeing that Li Qian had already brought Wu Meiniang, Lu Zhi and the old eunuch into the carriage, then he said with a smile: "Brother Cai, do you want to come and see our master?"

"I?"

Cai You's hands in the sleeves were tensely clenched into fists, but he tried his best to maintain his composure: "Can I do it?"

His lame performance can't even be hidden from normal people, let alone Lu Bu.

The majestic young master of the Cai Mansion has met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, how can he be nervous when he sees a small rich man now?

This must be something to see.

With a smile on his face, Lu Bu stretched out his big hand and patted his shoulder, and Cai You's body sank with great force.

"If you can't, you have to do it!"

Cai You's mind was buzzing, her face turned pale, as if she had thought of something bad.

For example, what kind of extermination...

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu pointed behind him and said, "Our master admires Brother Cai very much, and invited you to be our guest just now."

Cai You was startled, and looked in the direction of Lu Bu's finger, only to realize that Li Qian and the others had disappeared, and there was a black carriage parked where they were standing just now.

"This...thank you, Brother Lu..."

Cai You took a deep breath and nodded. Instead of relaxing, he became even more nervous.

Only then did Cai You realize that his palms were already sweating.

Cai You turned back, wanting to tell his younger brothers not to wait for him, just leave as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that group of people were still busy playing prestige, kicking at the few remaining wounded on the ground from time to time, causing There was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

"Let's go."

Cai You turned around, forcing a smile on his face...

Li Qian got into the carriage a long time ago, because of the farce just now, more and more people are gathering here now.

He was seen and recognized by Cai You just now, and he will be recognized again if he stays here any longer. It is safer to be in the car.

Cai You had already followed Lu Bu to the outside of the car. Cai You waited for Lu Bu to get in the car first, but Lu Bu stopped in front of the car and did not leave. He turned to look at him with a smile on his face.

Only then did Cai You understand what it meant. With a dry laugh, he stepped on the shaft of the carriage and almost fell off.

Lu Bu got into the carriage after him, and the carriage moved slowly, passed through the crowd, and headed west.

crunch~
Cai You carefully pushed open the carriage door, her heart pounding.

If he behaves well, he can soar into the sky, and he can even become a person like his father.

He didn't perform well... Today may be his death day next year...

To Cai You's surprise, the light inside the carriage was not dim, and a few glazed palace lanterns protruded from the wall of the carriage, brightly lit.

The carriage is covered with a thick hibiscus dark-patterned carpet, bringing a warm atmosphere.

But these are secondary. Cai You only took a cursory glance and noticed the young man sitting in the center.

It wasn't very warm inside the carriage, but he was only wearing a thin sapphire blue singlet with snow-leaf patterns, and sitting under him was a pair of snow-white mink fur. He was looking at Cai You with a smile on his face.

Cai You's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly bowed and knelt on the ground, pouted his buttocks and lowered his head, and said, "Caomin Cai You, I have seen Your Majesty."

Fortunately, Lu Bu, who came up behind him, closed the door of the carriage, otherwise this scene would have been seen by outsiders.

Ever since Cai You came in, Li Qian had already started to look at him.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground at this moment, Li Gan said with a smile: "You haven't seen me before, have you? How did you recognize me today?"

Cai You turned back with a sullen head, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with the aura of a dragon beside him, just like gold in the sand, it shines brightly at a glance."

Li Gan frowned: "Young Master Cai will still be hopeful?"

Cai You froze all of a sudden, a few drops of sweat gradually oozing from his forehead.

Some people like these gods and ghosts, such as the first emperor, but some people sneer at them and hate them very much.

Cai You didn't know what kind of person this emperor was. If the answer was wrong, wouldn't all the previous things be in vain and leave a bad impression? ?
Seeing that he hesitated a bit, Li Gan probably guessed what was going on.

But he didn't show it, but waited for a while, seeing that Cai You still couldn't speak, and became more nervous, he smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, let's sit down and talk first."

"His Majesty……"

Cai You, who had finally calmed down before getting into the carriage, became nervous again: "How dare the grass people sit at the same table with His Majesty."

Although he had met many high-ranking officials, those high-ranking officials who visited Cai's mansion were all there to curry favor with Cai Jing, and they were naturally more pleasant to Cai You, so he almost placed them in the Buddhist hall and lit a few incense sticks as offerings.

And although Cai Jing also trained his son, it was more of Lao Tzu training his son, not the boss training his subordinates.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor of Dagan now, this is the first time he has faced the top decision maker of Dagan in the true sense.

Cai You was already extremely nervous, but under the close contact, this tension and pressure, as well as the fear of death, were infinitely magnified...

"If I let you sit, you will sit." Li Gan saw his restraint.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Only then did Cai You stand up cautiously and sit on the bench beside him, but even so, he was only sitting on one buttock.

"You are the son of Cai Qing's family..."

Li Qian looked at Cai Bian with a smile: "But I don't know why, but I feel that you are very different from Cai Qing's family."

Cai You was a little apprehensive when he heard the first half of Li Gan's words, after all, Cai Jing and His Majesty the Emperor were known to be against each other.

He had heard not only once in the Cai Mansion that those ministers conspired with his father.

However, after hearing what Li Gan said later, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has sharp eyes, not only you said that, but many people also said that."

Li Gan's face was a little weird, and Lu Bu behind him was also rubbing his chin, his generous face was full of serious thinking.

Li Gan coughed twice, and hastily corrected Cai You's statement: "What I said is what I feel."

He looked at Cai You, and said with some emotion: "You are a loyal person, I like you very much."

Cai You's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and he understood what Li Qian was referring to.

Li Gan smiled again and said: "Actually, I have heard of you from other people before, and many people say that you are a capable person."

"But in my opinion, loyalty is more important than ability."

Cai You squeezed his sleeves tightly, bowed his head and said, "There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and every one of them is loyal to His Majesty."

Li Gan nodded with some emotion: "That's right, everyone said that, but how many can do it?"

"That's why I was a little...surprised to see you today."

Cai You seemed to have heard something, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, my father is not unfaithful, he just...just..."

In a moment of desperation, he couldn't figure out what words to use to excuse Cai Jing.

Cai You had heard that Cai Jing conspired with those ministers, and that was not simply disloyalty, but treason.

Li Qian glanced at him: "It's just that I have different ideas from mine, but it's all for the sake of doing well."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also understand Cai Qing's family, so as long as he is loyal to Dagan, the dispute between me and him is just a dispute of political opinions, and his ability to handle political affairs is still very strong."

Li Qian looked at Cai You seriously: "It's just that Cai Qing's family is old after all, and they are about to retire. I'm afraid they won't be able to help me for many years."

Cai You felt suffocated, he was not stupid, the current prosperity and wealth of the Cai family depended on Cai Jing alone.

Without the cover of Cai Jing, a big tree, the hundreds of members of the Cai family would be beaten back to their original shape sooner or later.

"But today, I can see that you also look like a father."

Li Qian looked at him meaningfully: "In the future, you may replace your father and rule the court for me."

The carriage was not hot, but Cai You's forehead was covered with sweat, and he couldn't even speak: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are not even Jinshi..."

"As I said before, loyalty is the most important thing compared to talent."

Li Qian had a smile on his face: "I saw your loyalty today."

Cai You suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed and said, "Caomin thank you Your Majesty."

But Li Qian waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I just mentioned such a possibility. You can't say for sure, and neither can I."

"The specifics depend on what your father does, and what you do at Cai Qing's family."

Cai You froze, and opened his mouth to explain something, but Li Gan waved his hand: "I'm a little tired after talking so much today."

The slowly moving carriage stopped.

"Caomin retire."

Cai You didn't dare to disobey Li Gan's words, so he stood up and resigned.

When he walked to the door of the carriage, Li Gan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, don't tell others what you saw in the capital today."

"As long as the people present know it is enough."

Cai You immediately said: "Your Majesty, the grass people understand."

"very good."

Li Gan nodded with a smile, leaned back on the sable fur, and said casually: "The ones I like the most are young people like me."

Cai You buried his head a little lower, and carefully got out of the carriage.

Afterwards, the carriage continued on, towards the west of the city.

Li Gan was concentrating on recalling Cai Bian's various performances just now, when a black curtain behind his seat was pulled open, and Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi came out from behind the curtain.

Both of them looked worried.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the palace first..." Lu Zhi sat beside Li Gan and took his hand.

Wu Meiniang was also a little worried: "Cai Jing's son, if he goes back and tells Cai Jing about His Majesty, wouldn't His Majesty be in danger?"

Li Qian came back to his senses and shook his head: "Don't worry, that kid is a smart man."

"He must know that I am not on good terms with Cai Jing. If he wanted to tell the truth, he would never have come to see me. He would have gone back to find his father a long time ago."

"Now I set a price for him again and promised benefits. Although I don't know what the reserve price is in his heart, my price must be far beyond the reserve price."

Li Gan is very confident about this: "As long as he has the slightest hope for my conditions, he will never go to Cai Jing to reveal my whereabouts."

The two women were startled, and Lu Zhi said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty reminded Cai You at last, do you like young people as well?"

Li Qian nodded with a smile: "Cai Jing is already old, how many years can he maintain the glory and wealth of the Cai family? When he became an official at 70 years old, Cai You was only 40 years old. He will be considered young by then."

"Without his father, his current glory and wealth will disappear in smoke."

"But I am younger than him, but I can protect him for the rest of my life..." Li Gan said with a smile in his eyes, "A person like Cai You will make the most correct choice."

Li Qian still has follow-up methods, which can naturally lead Cai You to the position he wants step by step...

The carriage walked a certain distance, and then it stopped slowly. Li Qian led Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi to continue strolling on the busiest Zhuquemen Street for a while, and then continued to drive west.

During the period, Li Gan originally wanted Wu Meiniang to meet her family, but Wu Meiniang was afraid that Li Gan's identity might be revealed, so she didn't go.

From the jewelry and gorgeous clothes in the East Market to the rouge powder and street food in the West Market, Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi, who were very excited, were exhausted from shopping from morning to night.

"Master, let's go home..."

As the sky darkened, Lu Zhi hugged Li Qian's arm, almost his entire weight was hanging on him, and Wu Meiniang on the other side was only slightly stronger than her.

Although the two of them didn't need to carry the things they bought, after a day of walking, exhaustion was inevitable.

Li Qian was also a little moved when he heard this, but he looked at the familiar place in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Go ahead and have a look."

"There is a place where sky lanterns are released in front of it. Let's go back after watching."

The Flying Sky Lantern is the Kongming Lantern engraved by Li Qianfu, and in front of it is the place where he opened and sold Kongming Lanterns.
