Chapter 930 Cai Ze's Opportunity
King Chu of Qin sat in this room for a long time.
It was not until the sky fell that King Chu of Qin finally left the room.
Soon, a young official named Zhang Han in Xianyang City was transferred to the Shaofu, and his official position was promoted to two levels, which made many people envious.
Cai Ze walked in the corridor of Xianyang Palace, his steps were quite light.
You should know that King Chu of Qin has not summoned Cai Ze alone for a long time.
After all, from the perspective of King Chu of Qin, Lu Buwei has obviously always been a more reliable and trustworthy person than Cai Ze.
Cai Ze himself knew this very well.
However, Cai Ze is still very confident about his prospects in the Qin political arena. After all, Cai Ze is now an old minister of the three dynasties, and Qin King Chu still needs him to check and balance Lu Buwei.
Although Cai Ze was suppressed by Lu Buwei a while ago, wouldn’t Qin Wang Chu be summoning Cai Ze immediately to give Cai Ze a chance to turn things around?
In the Qin State for so many years, Cai Ze has been ups and downs. He has seen all kinds of situations and his mentality has long been tempered to a lot of calmness.
As long as it has not been completely defeated, there is still a chance to turn the tables!
With such hope and joy, Cai Ze entered the side hall of Xianyang Palace and met King Chu of Qin who was waiting for him here.
As soon as we met, Cai Ze felt very keenly that King Chu of Qin was in a bad mood.
Although Qin Wang Chu has not been in a good mood at all for a while, it is actually a rare thing to make such a cloudy expression appear on his face like this straightforward today.
This made Cai Ze's heart thrill. Could something big happened?
Cai Ze respectfully greeted King Chu of Qin: "I have met the king."
King Chu of Qin seemed to be a little confused, and responded casually, saying, "Sit up, Gangcheng, please."
Cai Ze sat down in his position and quietly waited for Qin Wang Chu's next words.
But something that surprised Cai Ze happened. King Chu of Qin seemed to directly treat Cai Ze as air, and he sat there silently without saying anything, and fell into an awkward silence in the hall.
Cai Ze's heart began to become a little uneasy.
This situation is completely different from the script that Cai Ze had expected before. Could it be that Cai Ze's guess this time was completely wrong? In fact, the Qin Wang Chu called Cai Ze over to support Cai Ze's faction and let Cai Ze regain the power to compete with Lu Buwei?
Just as Cai Ze was up and down and didn't know what to do, King Chu of Qin finally spoke slowly.
"Gangchengjun, I know that you and Wuchengjun have always been inconsistent."
Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, coughed dryly, and said, "The king misunderstood. There are actually not many prejudices between me and Wu Chengjun, but they are just disagreements."
What Cai Ze said is neither right nor right.
It is said that it is correct because Cai Ze and Lu Buwei do not have any personal grudges, but because of the positions of both sides, they become political enemies.
It is wrong to say that it is because in the officialdom, political disagreement is easier to kill people than personal grudges.
If there is a chance to kill Lu Buwei now and not arouse the disgust of King Chu of Qin, then Cai Ze will definitely do this without hesitation, and the same is true for Lu Buwei.
King Chu of Qin snorted and said, "Gang Chengjun, don't say these nonsense in front of me. I ask you, do you always want to replace Wu Chengjun?"
As soon as Qin Wang Chu said these words, Cai Ze began to feel sweaty on his forehead.
Although the entire Qin State knew that Cai Ze really wanted to replace Lu Buwei's position, there was no need for you to say it directly, right?
Who doesn’t know that Lu Buwei is your king’s number one confidant? If I, Cai Ze, really said this in front of you, will your king still give me a good look?
But now that King Chu of Qin asked in person, Cai Ze could not refuse to answer, right?
The scene suddenly became a little awkward.
King Chu of Qin had not received Cai Ze's response for a long time, and immediately frowned and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Why, is my question really so difficult to answer?"
Cai Ze's heart suddenly broke out and knew that this was a sign that King Chu of Qin was about to get angry.
what to do?
Cai Ze felt a little in a dilemma.
At this moment, Cai Ze suddenly felt a sudden movement in his heart, and a light of inspiration flashed through his mind.
Speaking of which, Cai Ze himself knew that this question was difficult to answer. Doesn’t Qin Wang Chu know?
Since King Chu of Qin also knew that the question he just raised was difficult for Cai Ze to answer, he still asked, what does it mean?
Could it be that King Chu of Qin had actually discovered changes in his mind, and he was no longer very opposed to Cai Ze's replacement of Lu Buwei?
Cai Ze thought about it carefully and found that it seemed... this is really possible!
After all, Lu Buwei was suppressing Cai Ze and fighting for the past while. Cai Ze was completely on the defensive side, and he was too busy to take care of himself and had no time to cause trouble.
Only when Lu Buwei did something happen to him can he make King Chu of Qin so angry.
Don't care about him, I've bet!
Cai Ze took a deep breath, looked up suddenly, and said firmly to King Chu of Qin: "King, I have no objection to Wu Chengjun himself. I just think that if I really follow Wu Chengjun's plan to govern the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will sooner or later fall into the hands of Wu Chengjun! So I do want to pull Wu Chengjun off the position of prime minister, but that is not out of my selfish intentions, but because of my loyalty to the king and the entire Qin Dynasty!"
Cai Ze's words were full of contagion. The white beard under the jaw kept floating with the movement of his mouth. His acting skills can be said to have been shown ten percent.
After saying this, Cai Ze was a little nervous and waited for the Qin King Chu's statement.
Cai Ze's power has been suppressed to the extreme by Lu Buwei. If the bet wrong this time will arouse the anger of King Chu of Qin, then it is very likely that Cai Ze will never have any chance to turn around again.
King Chu of Qin looked at Cai Ze quietly, and after a while, he said: "Guang Chengjun, I have something to tell you."
Cai Ze hurriedly said, "Please tell me, lord."
King Chu of Qin said: "I suspect that Li Mu had broken Xianyang twice before, and those insiders were instructed by important officials from the Qin Dynasty. According to the latest clues I found, this matter may have something to do with Wu Chengjun. Now I have handed this matter to you, and you must check it out for me to find out the truth!"
Cai Ze was shocked by the words of King Chu of Qin.
But after being surprised, Cai Ze suddenly felt ecstasy in his heart.
