Liu Hongyu suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He is a low-level official with no background. He has always regarded party struggle and the struggle for succession as a scourge, and he does not dare to get involved in it, for fear that he will not reap the benefits and end up becoming cannon fodder.

Especially since he was about to become an official, and his son was useless and would not have much potential in the future. He just wanted his son to be an honest low-level official and live a good life in peace.

But he protected Cai Yaozong, and Zhao Ruxi wrote a letter to the capital, making people mistakenly think that he was from the prince's line. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to stay in office safely.

After thinking about this, he immediately turned around and ordered his followers: "Call Master Cai."

The entourage quickly went to the next door.

Cai Yaozong next door knew that Zhao Ruxi came out soon after entering Liu Hongyu's room, and then left the Yamen. He was wondering what she wanted to do, when he heard Liu Hongyu calling him.

He got up and went to the next door. He saw Liu Hongyu with a dark face and scolded him: "If you didn't agree, you wouldn't have agreed at that time. If you agreed and didn't let her see the files and accounts, what does that mean? She

If you pass a piece of paper to the top, both of you and I will suffer."

Cai Yaozong sneered in his heart.

This Liu Hongyu is really "the older he gets, the less courageous he becomes." He wants to gain benefits but doesn't want to take risks, so he panics when he sees someone with some power. It's in vain that he is still very afraid of him.

He shook his head and said nonchalantly: "If she really wants to be valued by the emperor, she will not be left alone. Instead, she will stay in the Hanlin Academy in the capital. If she can't enter the Hanlin Academy, she can join the Ministry of Household Affairs. It can be seen that she is trying to scare us.

The emperor has so many things to do, how can he have time to read the documents from the local officials? The documents we submit have to go through layers of screening by various ministries, and they can easily not be delivered to the emperor."

"Besides, we didn't do anything. We didn't say we wouldn't let her take charge, nor did we say we wouldn't let her see the files and accounts. It's just that we couldn't find the files and accounts she wanted for a while, so we made her wait for a day and a half.

She wants to file a complaint. Not only is it impossible for the emperor to pay attention to her, even her senior brother Wu Huaisi knows about it and is too embarrassed to ask the emperor for it."

"The emperor appointed a little girl to be the number one scholar, which was already arousing criticism. Now she came to our place, and within half a day she was at odds with the chief officials and senior officials, and even wrote a complaint. Being an official is not just playing house. She

If you really want to do this, the censor is waiting to find her black spots to impeach her. Doesn't this give people an excuse?"

"Not to mention what happened to her, people like Wu Huaisi will be implicated to death by her."

Without Zhong Liang's analysis, Liu Hongyu might still be shaken after hearing his words.

But now that he has chosen to side with Zhao Ruxi, even if Zhao Ruxi has no way to complain, he still plans to abandon his alliance with Cai Yaozong and stand with Zhao Ruxi.

He said: "No matter what, we can't allow anyone to seize the power. You have people sort out the files and accounts quickly. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will let her take over."

Cai Yaozong's face slowly darkened.

He looked at Liu Hongyu for a while and suddenly laughed, his smile without any warmth.

He stood up and said: "Since your Majesty has given orders, I will obey them. If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave." With that, he cupped his hands and walked out.

Returning to his room, he sat there with a gloomy face for a long time before going to Chen Kang's place.

"Huh? Mr. Cai didn't go home for dinner?" Chen Kang asked.

Cai Yaozong didn't say anything. He sat down and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He poured all the tea into his stomach. Then he took a long breath, wiped his mouth and said, "I was bullied by a little girl.

Can I eat?"

Chen Kang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Did Mr. Liu fall to her side?"

Cai Yaozong nodded.

Chen Kang pinched a few strands of his beard with his hands, nodded and said: "It seems that the power behind her is more powerful than I imagined."

He glanced at Cai Yaozong and said: "This Master Zhao is not an ordinary little girl. She is even more powerful than you, Master Cai. Otherwise, it is useless to have a backstage. She must be able to stand up on her own and be able to persuade."

Mr. Liu fell towards her."

Cai Yaozong: "..." There is something I don't know whether to say or not.

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Kang: "Don't forget, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. People like her are young, have a high starting point, are arrogant and arrogant. She may not be able to see it.

Like you."

There was enough oil and water in the salt and grain, and the oil and water in it was divided between him and Chen Kang. Liu Hongyu was an upright official, cherished feathers, and never got involved in this matter. This is why Cai Yaozong was able to quickly cooperate with Chen Kang after arriving in Nanyang.

The reason why I put the salt and grain into my bowl early.

"Then what are you going to do? Fight her hard? As long as you can stand it here, I will have no problem here." Chen Kang said in a sincere voice.

Cai Yaozong was speechless.

Liu Hongyu is his superior after all, and he is not a weak and incompetent person. Once Liu Hongyu becomes serious, there is really nothing he can do. After all, he has to rely on Liu Hongyu for the final year-end evaluation and recommendations before leaving office.

He gritted his teeth for the last time and said: "You ask Wang Yongshou to find out the salt and grain files from four years ago and send them to her room tomorrow afternoon. Then use these two days to collect the recent files.

Read the accounts carefully again and correct any problems in a timely manner.”

Chen Kang said: "Don't worry, I am more careful about those accounts than you are. Mr. Zhao, a little girl, will never see anything wrong. No matter how good she is at arithmetic, it doesn't matter how good she is at arithmetic? This is not a problem that can be found by relying on arithmetic."

The reason why he dared to reach out for salt and grain over the years was Wang Yongshou's skill in accounting. Of course, he did not treat Wang Yongshou badly. Over the years, Wang Yongshou definitely received no less than him.

With these words, Cai Yaozong felt relieved and said: "Okay, then there will be no problem."

"But looking at the files and accounts is just the first step for Mr. Zhao, right? Is she planning to take the salt and food from Mr. Zhao?" Chen Kang asked.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yaozong was discouraged.

He sighed: "Isn't that right? That aunt is greedy."

He looked at Chen Kang, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "It doesn't matter to me, the worst thing is that I don't want this power and money. But Chen Jingcheng, you are going to lose this right. Don't worry about yourself, guess what you are doing

Will people agree?"

Chen Kang's expression changed slightly.

"So, don't stand around and watch the fun. We are just grasshoppers on the same rope." Cai Yaozong returned this sentence to Chen Kang.
