"Crown Princess is welcome."

After hearing Zhu Lian's personal maid's words, Cai was still a little confused: "Zhu Lian wants to see me, what is this operation?"

Zhao Ding, who was standing by, wanted to remind Cai to be careful not to get involved in the crown prince dispute, which ruined his future, but in the end, because Zhu Lian's personal maid was too close to the two, Zhao Ding couldn't say what he reminded him.

Cai Shen glanced at Zhu Lian not far away, then turned to Zhao Ding and said, "I will go to see the Crown Princess first, and I will visit Brother Yuanzhen's door another day."

After saying that, Cai still said goodbye to Zhao Ding, and then followed Zhu Lian's personal maid to Zhu Lian's nearby place.

Cai still worships: "My minister Cai still worships the crown princess."

Zhu Lian said in a tone of a polite and polite voice: "Commander Cai, please get up quickly."

Cai still listened to the words, stood up straight and looked at Zhu Lian.

When he saw it closer, Cai still found that Zhu Lian was three points more beautiful than before.

He has a pretty face, delicate facial features, fair skin, tall figure, gentle and elegant.

Overall, calm, quiet, calm and decent.

In short, two words - beauty.

Cai’s aggressive gaze made Zhu Lian feel a little uncomfortable!

Before leaving the house, I won’t talk about it anymore. Zhu Lian had almost never seen an adult man other than his father and brother.

After marrying Zhao Huan to become the crown princess, Zhu Lian had met many adult men.

But one of those adult men was counted as one, and none of them dared to stare at her like Cai Shen - no matter what those people thought in their hearts, they were respectful to Zhu Lian on the surface.

This is normal. After all, Zhu Lian is the crown princess. He may be the mother of the country in the future. Who dares to look at her like Cai Shen like an ordinary beauty?

Zhu Lian explained himself: "Talented people must have differences, let them go."

After thinking about this, Zhu Lian felt relieved. She said, "I just heard the stamp duty and inheritance tax mentioned by Commander Cai. I personally think that it is a good strategy for governing the country. It is a loss for my Song Dynasty. Therefore, if Commander Cai does not object, I want to tell the two taxes to His Highness the Crown Prince and ask His Highness to report to the official family. Commander Cai is worried. Your Highness the Crown Prince will never be greedy for Commander Cai's achievements. Your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely report to the official family truthfully that these two taxes were made by Commander Cai."

What Zhu Lian never expected was that Cai Shen opposed without hesitation: "No."

When Zhu Lian heard this, he frowned and said, "Why not?"

Cai still explained: "If the Crown Princess really does this, it will definitely be harmful to the prince without any benefit."

After hearing Cai still said this, Zhu Lian was a little puzzled, and she said, "Why did Commander Cai say this?"

Cai still said in a deep voice: "Crown Princess can you tell how big the benefits involved in these two taxes are and how wide the staff are? I dare say, if His Highness the Crown Prince really submits these two taxes to the official family, then His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to get the throne."

"What?"

...

Until he went back to see Zhao Huan, Zhu Lian did not come out of the shock of Cai Gan's last words.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan said carelessly: "What's wrong with the beloved concubine? Why do you look distracted?"

Zhu Lian withdrew his thoughts and said, "Your Highness, I met someone by chance today, who is talented as a prime minister."

When Zhao Huan heard the words, he was stunned at first, and then quickly asked: "Who is such a talent?"

Zhu Lian said: "His surname is Cai..."

When Zhao Huan heard that the man's surname was Cai, he frowned!

Zhao Huan was frugal by nature, so he couldn't stand the extravagance and waste of his father Zhao Ji, and was extremely extravagant.

But as a son, Zhao Huan can't go to his father Zhao Ji, right?

More importantly, Zhao Ji was the emperor and didn't like Zhao Huan's son very much. Therefore, Zhao Huan did not dare to rush to Zhao Ji with ten thousand courage.

Therefore, Zhao Huan could only pass on his dissatisfaction with Zhao Ji to those around Zhao Ji.

Cai Jing was the culprit who encouraged Zhao Ji to spend extravagance and waste, and was naturally considered one.

Cai You accompanied Zhao Ji every day and proposed what "The so-called ruler should regard the world as his family and peace as entertainment. How much time can be done? How can he work hard for himself?" It is simply a disaster to the country and the people. How can he not be considered one?

Therefore, when Zhao Huan, who heard the man named Cai and had no good impression of the Cai family, interrupted Zhu Lian and said, "The surname is Cai? Could he be from the Cai family?"

Zhu Lian said: "He is indeed a member of the Cai family."

After Zhu Lian's confirmation, Zhao Huan said arbitrarily: "What kind of talent can the Cai family be like? Is it Cai Xing? Humph, although he is a bit literary, he is a flatterer like his father in his bones. How can he be used to reuse it?"

Zhu Lian knew that Zhao Huan hated Cai Jing, Cai You and his son, and then hated Wu and Wu hated all the Cai family members, so she said: "He is not Cai Jing's descendant, but Cai Bian's son."

After hearing what Zhu Lian said, Zhao Huan's expression calmed down a little, and he said, "Are you talking about Cai Gan?"

Zhu Lian said in surprise: "Your Highness knows him?"

Zhao Huan said: "He is the fourth place in the current academic year. I want to acquire the talent. How could I not know him? Moreover, as far as I know, the third brother organized a gathering in Fanlou. He happened to go there, but he refused the third brother's invitation without hesitation."

Zhu Lian said: "So, does he support His Highness?"

Zhao Huan was a little confused and said, "This... it's really hard to say. The Cai family has always been the leader of his father, Emperor Ma, and has never taken this king seriously. Therefore, what kind of attitude Cai still has is not yet sure."

Zhu Lian said optimistically: "At least he is not from Prince Yun."

Zhao Huan thought about it, and said, "What's wrong with Cai still having the talent of the prime minister?"

When Zhu Lian heard the words, he told Zhao Huan about the stamp duty and inheritance tax she heard.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he acted more excited than Zhao Ding and Zhu Lian. While walking around, he said, "National Policy! This is the national policy! No, I will write a memorial now and report the stamp duty and inheritance tax to my father!"

Zhu Lian hurriedly said, "Your Highness, wait!"

Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian with some confusion and asked, "What else do you have to say about your beloved concubine?"

Zhu Lian said: "It's not that I have any words, but that Cai still has some words. He said that if Your Highness reports these two taxes to the official family, Your Highness will probably have no chance of the throne in this life."

"What?"

Zhao Huan was shocked!

Zhu Lian explained: "Cai still said that the interests involved in these two taxes are so great that they involve are far beyond our imagination. Therefore, as long as the wind is exposed, they will inevitably be strongly resisted by those who have passed the interests. By then, Your Highness will probably be on the target of public criticism."

After hearing this, Zhao Huan slowly sat back on the chair.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Huan said, "Yes, given my current situation, if I really offended so many people, I am afraid I won't be the prince."

After a while, Zhao Huan said again: "Cai is indeed a little talented, so he should win over it."

Zhu Lian said: "Besides, the Cai family is behind him. If the Cai family can be pulled and stood on His Highness's side, no one will be able to shake His Highness's position as the prince."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Don't say that Cai Shen is just Cai Jing's nephew, not Cai Jing's son, even Cai Jing's son, he cannot kidnap Cai Jing's old fox. Even Cai You's cunning ghost will never follow Cai Yan to stand by. Therefore, Cai Shen is Cai Shen, and the Cai family is Cai family. The two cannot be confused."

Zhu Lian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this!

When Zhao Huan saw it, he said, "You must not be too greedy for your beloved concubine. It is not easy to get a good minister. How dare you ask for more?"

Zhu Lian said: "But Cai is still just a small commander after all, not even a civil servant. How can he help Your Highness... Your Highness must have heard of it. Yesterday, the official awarded the King of Yun's ten East Pearls because of the title "Wangjiang Tower".

Zhao Huan, who had not received the reward from Zhao Ji for a long time, was also worried when he heard the words.

To be honest, if it weren't for such a bad situation, Zhao Huan was the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, so how could he personally bring Zhu Lian, the crown princess, to celebrate the birthday of the eunuch Liang Shicheng? It was because Zhao Kai was too forced to force him that Zhao Huan was a little lost.

Zhao Huan was silent for a while and said, "Don't think about it. I'm lucky if I get it, and I'm lucky if I lose it. Let him go."

Zhao Huan then changed his tone and said, "But this Cai is still a little talented, so he has to find a way to win him over."

It is not difficult to see from Zhao Huan's words that he is not as calm as he said, and he is still extremely eager for the throne.

This is actually normal. Throughout history, how many losers in the battle for the crown prince have ended up having a good end?
