Huang Haoqian stared at Cai Que, and then suddenly laughed: "How can I see it?"

Huang Haoqian did not deny it or admit it, but this question basically admitted it, and Cai Que was not surprised but happy.

If Ouyang Bian is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he has the handle in Ouyang Bian's hands, but so what?

That only means that he is Ouyang Bian’s person!

Let me ask, is a leader willing to believe in a subordinate who has a handle in his own hands or believes that there is no handle? There is no need to think too much about this!

This means that he is a naturally trusted subordinate!

After Cai Que entered the court, he deeply understood a truth: if you want to be a high-ranking official, the first thing that is important is not ability, but backstage.

Although his father Huang Shang did not have any great abilities, he still had some abilities, but he was forced to resign from his post by Chen Zhizhong. Isn’t it just because he has no backstage?

When Cai Que passed the Jinshi and entered the officialdom, he was promoted all the way. This was not in line with common sense. He was worried before, but now he thought about it, it was naturally because Ouyang Bian was operating later.

That's why I had the opportunity to get close to Wang Anshi and the opportunity to reach such a critical position.

But Cai did not think about using Wang Anshi as the backstage. From his perspective, Wang Anshi is now powerful, but his foundation is not solid and has a tough temper. He offended too many people and is not a suitable backer at all.

Ouyang Bian is different.

Although Ouyang Bian is Wang Anshi's disciple, Ouyang Bian's foundation is extremely solid.

From the perspective of Wang Anshi and Ouyang Bian, they are actually continuation of Ouyang Xiu.

Yes, Wang Anshi's success was recommended by Ouyang Xiu, and most of his connections were covered by Ouyang Xiu's connections. Ouyang Xiu even passed on the literary heritage to Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was unwilling to accept it.

Even so, Wang Anshi benefited a lot from Ouyang Xiu, but Wang Anshi himself was not good at making connections, so the people he used in the past two years were Ouyang Bian's people.

Ouyang Bian and Wang Anshi are different people. Wang Anshi is unwilling to make connections, but Ouyang Bian is a person who is good at dancing. Ouyang Xiu's connections were perfectly inherited by Ouyang Bian, and he also made a large number of people of the same year.

It's strange that most of Ouyang Bian's careers became very fast after entering the officialdom in the same year. After Cai Que conducted research and observation, he believed that Ouyang Bian used his father Ouyang Xiu and his father-in-law Fu Bi to promote it.

Not only that, Ouyang Bian cultivated a group of officials from the central bank, and now the central bank officials are all over the middle and lower levels of the Song Dynasty officialdom.

Although Ouyang Bian is now worried, Ouyang Bian's foundation is so deep and solid that it is simply terrifying.

Cai Que is in the center, and he deeply feels Ouyang Bian's power.

Except for Wang Anshi, Zhang Fangping, Su Song, Han Jiang, and Han Wei have a close relationship with Ouyang Bian. It can be said that Ouyang Bian's influence is not only deeply rooted in the middle and lower levels, but also in the upper levels.

In all aspects, compared with the extreme Wang Anshi, Ouyang Bian is a better backstage.

On the other hand, Ouyang Bian is the real towering tree in the officialdom with lush roots and leaves, and Wang Anshi is just a lucky minister.

The so-called lucky minister is to be appreciated by the emperor and quickly gain the throne, but in fact it does not have enough foundation behind him.

Therefore, compared to Wang Anshi, Cai Que would rather be Ouyang Bian in the backstage, although his handle is in Ouyang Bian's hands.

But, what's wrong with this?

Cai Que doesn't mind being used by Ouyang Bian. Only valuable people can be used, and most people who are not used have no value.

When Huang Haoqian saw Cai Que's expression, he immediately understood what his classmate thoughts. He couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Ouyang Bian was so optimistic about Cai Que. His classmate could get on as soon as he saw a stick. It was a monkey's temperament to stick to it!

Huang Haoqian smiled and scolded: "It's your good luck!"

At this point, Cai Que's worries were gone, and he even felt a sense of bad luck. He smiled very happily and sighed: "Fortunately, Cai has several brothers in this life."

Huang Haoqian smiled: "Don't you ask the noble man what he wants you to do?"

Cai Que smiled and said, "No, I know what the nobles care about, but I still have to make clear instructions on how to do it."

Huang Haoqian said with a oh, and said curiously: "Tell me what you want?"

Cai Que smiled and said, "Neople are good at the economy. The economy is the foundation of noble people. To be honest, the City Yi Law is to exploit the evil laws of merchants. Naturally, noble people don't want to see them, so the purpose should be to stop the City Yi Law, but I can't guess what the noble people want to do, but it's best to let the City Yi Law die in their womb, otherwise it will be a blow to the economy..."

Speaking of this, Cai Que was also a little scared: "...If the Municipal Yi Law is implemented truthfully, the Song Dynasty would have no self-owned enterprises, and there would be only a small workshop that could survive under the control of the Municipal Yi Department!"

Huang Haoqian shook his head: "How to make noble people have their own plans, we will implement them well. Even if there are certain consequences, there will naturally be noble people to clean up the mess."

Cai Que nodded.

Huang Haoqian changed the topic and said curiously: "I'm more curious. How did you infer the identity of a noble person? I have no close connection with him here!"

Speaking of this, Cai Que was a little excited.

"I did not know about this at first, but after coming to Bianjing City, I also consciously conducted some investigations.

If you want to know the identity of a noble person, you can only start with Chen Zhizhong, because this is my only clue.

My investigation was not going well at the beginning because there were too many people who disliked Chen Zhizhong, but they just despise Chen Zhizhong and would not have to take ruthless actions.

My investigation once stagnated, and it was not until later when I accidentally heard the "Little Pomegranate Case" that there was another village.

Of course, this investigation is still very difficult, because no one would have thought that a little maid would have an intersection with the son of a minister.

But there is no way out, and I accidentally learned that this little maid named Xiao Poliu is actually good friends with the noble maid Bizhu.

This is more reasonable. The cause of the death of the little maid Bizhu comes from Zhang, and the noble man later asked me to target Zhang, which is right."

Although Cai Que said it lightly and seemed to have many coincidences, the perseverance revealed between the lines and the ability to integrate various small clues are beyond ordinary people.

Huang Haoqian couldn't help but be impressed by Cai Que: "I said you guy is really... really..."

Huang Haoqian didn't know how to describe it for a while.
