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

In the elegant room of Huabao Building, all the delicacies that are rarely seen outside are placed on the table.

These valuable dishes, which many people will never eat or even see in their lifetime, are only touched a few chopsticks, and most of them are not even touched. They just slowly cool down on the table and lose their original taste.

Cai You sat in front of the table, his expression changed one after another, and he didn't even look at the food.

For a while, he gritted his teeth, for a while he was downcast, and for a while a bit of sadness appeared on his face...

Until the door of the private room creaked open.

Cai You woke up suddenly, subconsciously turned his head to the door and wanted to yell, but when he saw the person coming, the sullen expression on his face immediately turned into shock.

"Brother Lu?"

"Haha, brother Cai, I knew you hadn't left yet."

Lu Bu laughed and came to the table and sat down, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured it into his mouth.

Cai You had no time to worry about his movements, but looked at him in disbelief: "Brother Lu, why are you back?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly corrected him: "Brother Lu, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say...how did you come back so quickly?"

"I'll come back when I'm done."

Lu Bu put down the crystal-clear jade jug, and let out a long breath: "And it's not too fast. Brother Cai, you may not feel that there is anything wrong with sitting here, but look at the sky outside, it's already afternoon."

Cai You turned his head and glanced out of the window, and then suddenly realized, but then came back to his senses, and looked at Lu Bu nervously: "Brother Lu... I don't know what your Majesty said?"

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and when Cai You was very nervous, he smiled at him: "Your Majesty agrees."

"accepted?"

Although he asked in a questioning tone, Cai You's tense body and spirit subconsciously relaxed, and his whole body was about to go limp.

Fortunately, Lu Bu had quick eyesight and quick hands, helped him up, and said jokingly: "Brother Cai, if you want to pay a big gift, you have to do it to His Majesty. Now that the foster father is not here, what's the use of doing it?"

Cai You came back to his senses, ignored Lu Bu's obstruction, and continued to kneel down again, crying: "Brother Lu and His Majesty both have shown kindness to my younger brother! I should thank Your Majesty, and I should also thank Brother Lu!"

"Don't be in a hurry."

However, Lu Bu still lifted him vigorously, and said helplessly, "Brother Cai, listen to me first."

"Your Majesty agreed, but he only promised to give you a chance. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself."

Cai You looked up blankly, but saw Lu Bu shook his head slightly.

"Brother Cai, over the years, your second uncle has been having conflicts with your father, and he seldom moves around. There is no way to lie about it. That's why His Majesty is willing to trust him, but you are different."

Lu Bu sighed: "After all, you are the eldest son of Lord Cai. Although you have a bad relationship, you have always lived in Cai's residence. Even if His Majesty wants to use you, he must have concerns."

"You have to perform to dispel His Majesty's concerns."

"Understood, I understand!"

Cai You nodded like a chicken pecking at rice when he heard the words: "My little brother must let His Majesty see my loyalty!"

"I just don't know what your Majesty's orders are?"

Lu Bu's face was a little solemn: "I was afraid that things would not work out, so I didn't tell you what Mr. Cai and the others are planning. Now that I want you to do things, I have to explain the whole story clearly."

Cai You stopped breathing, nodded and continued to listen.

"Do you know that Li Sima fell ill a few days ago?"

Lu Bu looked at him with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "There is also a battle report from the northeast border."

"Such a big matter, my younger brother naturally knows."

Cai You subconsciously nodded, but then she came back to her senses. It is impossible for Lu Bu to say this to him for no reason. It must have something to do with the next topic.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Lu, you mean..."

Lu Bu nodded expressionlessly: "That's right, these two things are related to your father."

Then he no longer concealed it, but said in an extremely stern tone: "colluded with the Jin captives, murdered the officials of the imperial court, and caused the death of tens of thousands of border guards..."

He only said halfway, Cai You seemed to have been pulled out of half of the bones in his body, and fell limply on the chair.

Any one of these charges can make Cai Jing copy his family and exterminate his family!What's more, it all adds up?
If such a crime is really carried out, even if Cai Jing has ten heads, it may not be enough to chop him off!

And he, Cai You, will also be implicated and die without a whole body!
Lu Bu continued: "Brother Cai, you should know how dangerous they are now, right?"

Cai You's face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly. He wanted to support the chair with his hands and sit up straight, but he couldn't do it twice after trying hard.

Seeing him like this, Lu Bu sighed softly: "Brother Cai, this matter is indeed very serious, and there is no possibility of easing it up, so even His Majesty's attitude towards you has changed before. When I knew about this matter, I also I'm worried about you."

"But now that you have already made your name with His Majesty, if you make some contributions in the future, and then get closer to your second uncle, then you will be fine."

Cai You took a few breaths, and finally gradually returned to normal.

He didn't ask what would happen to Cai Jing's fate first, nor did he ask about the details of the above-mentioned matters, but he took the lead in caring about why Cai Bian was able to win His Majesty's favor in this matter.

Without the backing of Cai Jing, is this new backing reliable?

"You can rest assured."

Lu Bu laughed: "Brother Cai, you are indeed a blessed person."

Having said that, he leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice: "If Cai Jing is dismissed from office and punished, who do you think will be the next minister?"

Cai You's breathing was stagnant, and then a light burst out from his eyes. He grabbed Lu Bu's hand, stared at him closely, and asked word by word: "Could it be... is it my second uncle?"

What Lu Bu was about to say was stuck in his throat again.

"Cough cough~"

He was choked, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Of course not."

"There are so many ministers in the court, if you use your second uncle as a servant, it will not be able to convince the public!"

Cai You's expression suddenly cooled down again, and even turned a little gray. The gap was so big that Lv Bu was stunned for a moment.

"I see……"

He forced a laugh, if it wasn't his second uncle himself, could it be his immediate boss, Minister of Rites Wang Mang?
But even if Wang Mang became a minister, he might not take much care of Cai Bian.

And the new minister of the Ministry of Rites is more likely to be Sima Guang who has been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and it will not be Cai Bian.

Seeing him in such a bad state, Lu Bu didn't have the heart to play tricks with him anymore.

"Hey~ Brother Cai, do you know who your second uncle's father-in-law is? Have you met that old man?"

"Of course I have." Cai You replied without thinking.

It is indeed true that he and Cai Bian are close. He also followed Cai Bian to visit his elders during festivals and festivals. Naturally, he met the old man...

"Brother Lu..."

Cai You suddenly seemed to remember something, and stared at Lu Bu with wide eyes again: "You mean... the new minister, Pushe, will it be a half-mountain?"

Lu Bu smiled mysteriously: "It's just some rumors I heard occasionally, probably just rumors."

"You don't even think about it. The adults in the Manchu Dynasty still don't know anything about it. How could I, a little Habayashi guard, know?"

Although it was a refusal, in Cai You's ears, it was tantamount to a direct admission.

But he was not so happy. Although the half monkey was his second uncle's father-in-law and he valued his second uncle very much, that old man had some grievances with Cai Jing...

Cai You even knew that during the process of that old man's relegation, Cai Jing had made great efforts...or backstabbed.

If that old man implicates Cai Jing's grievances on him, Cai You, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for him to pay off his father's debt.

Lu Bu also seemed to see his worry, and said with a smile: "Brother Cai, your eldest brother and I happen to know some things at that time, I advise you not to worry about those useless things at all!"

"Think about it, the old man has been out of power for so many years, how many confidantes he still has back then?"

"Isn't your second uncle the only one with the highest position in the court now? Coupled with such a close relationship, if he really makes a comeback, your second uncle must be his confidant."

Cai You nodded thoughtfully, he knew the inside story better than Lu Bu.

During the years that the half-mountain had lived in the county magistrate, his second uncle had not stopped writing letters, and would send condolences every year and festival. The relationship between the two of them must be closer than imagined.

Lu Bu chuckled: "And Brother Cai, you are about to make meritorious service for His Majesty, and you will be able to contribute to his recovery. At that time, the adults of the Manchu Dynasty will know about it, and with your second uncle's relationship, can it be Can he still avenge his kindness?"

"Besides, you still have my adoptive father above you! As long as he takes good care of you...would there be any problems?"

The last two sentences directly dispelled the last doubt in Cai You's heart.

He looked at Lu Bu, and said firmly: "Brother Lu, I understand, I will go through fire and water for His Majesty, and I will not hesitate to do so!!"

Lv Bu laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Your Majesty sure saw you right!"

"After you return home, as long as this..."

The conspiratorial exchange between the two is hidden in the small elegant room of the restaurant, and outsiders have no way of knowing what exactly they said.

After a while, Cai You left here and got on the carriage back home.

A bit of orange sunlight shone through the dark glass windows into the luxuriously decorated carriage, and reflected on Cai You's face, making his expression a little uncertain.

If it were this morning, he might still hesitate, but since he learned about Cai Jing and others' plot, it seems unnecessary.

Cai You knows that Cai Jing and the others must have a very big plan to lure the wolf into the house, and there will definitely be great benefits after this is done.

But it is meaningless to say these now, and now their plot has been leaked out, known by the emperor and the ministers in the court.

Not to mention being guarded, the success rate is reduced to almost nothing.

So what if it was a fluke?

Once Jinlu is really allowed to fight, the angry emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely work together to tear Cai Jing, a traitor, into pieces!
"If you don't keep secrets, you will lose yourself..."

Cai You collapsed in the carriage, and heaved a long sigh: "Father, you can't blame me for this matter. If you want to blame it, you can blame yourselves for not keeping secrets..."

Feeling a little uncomfortable being illuminated by the sunlight outside the window, he tossed around a bit, and turned his back to the window, letting the sunlight cast undulating shadows on the wall of the carriage.

"I just want the Cai family to continue..."

Cai You looked at the shadow, feeling inexplicably agitated: "If you knew my current situation, you would definitely support me..."

The soliloquy in the carriage gradually weakened, and the carriage drove into Cai's mansion through the main entrance.

Cai You got out of the carriage, took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then wanted to rush towards the study.

The sky had become abnormally dark at some point, and a few dark clouds gradually drifted over.

When he came to the door of the study, Cai You met an unexpected person.

"Fourth brother?" Cai You frowned imperceptibly.

"Big brother?"

Cai Xian was about to walk into the study with the tea in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face: "Brother, why is it so early today?"

Cai You didn't reply to his words, but frowned and stared at the tea tray in his hand: "It's good to ask the servants to do this kind of thing, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Cai Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Hey, why don't servants be servants?"

"Serving my father as a son of man, I can do all kinds of dirty work, not to mention such trivial things as serving tea and water. My father is getting older, and I don't feel at ease asking those careless servants to serve me."

Cai You took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face: "The fourth brother is thoughtful, but I, the eldest brother, am a bit inconsiderate."

"Of course it's not my brother's fault."

Cai Tao smiled and continued to walk forward a few steps: "Brother has started to be on duty in the palace these few days, and he is doing some important family and country affairs. It is normal that it is difficult to take care of the family."

"As a younger brother, I naturally have to take responsibility and take good care of my father."

A flash of anger flashed in Cai You's eyes, but he still controlled his emotions well.

Just when Cai Tao on the opposite side was about to say something, there was a soft cough from inside the door: "Come in!"

Cai Tao's complexion changed slightly, she hurriedly turned around and opened the door, and walked in.

Deng Xunwu and Gao Xun sat on both sides, with their heads down, as if they didn't hear anything.

Cai Jing was sitting behind the table, staring at the two sons who came in with an ugly expression: "Put down the tea and sit aside."

"Yes, Father!"

Cai Tao hurriedly stepped forward, poured water for the three of them, and sat down with Cai You again.

"In the future, don't do things that are shameful and embarrassing!"

Cai Jing cursed again, making the two people who had just sat down stand up straight as if they were burning their buttocks, their faces were on fire.

They also understood that the conversation just now must have been heard verbatim by the three people in the study.
