Before the first lunar month, I heard that His Highness King Fu had sent someone to the Zheng Mansion to recruit someone.
It was said that he was just taking a concubine, so there was no need for King Fu to act like this, but King Fu would come to trouble, and Zheng Xian was also the nephew of Mr. Zheng Ge, so he had to look at the Buddha's face even if he didn't look at the monk's face.
I heard that His Highness Prince Fu personally went to the Zheng Mansion. As for what they talked about, no one knows.
In the palace, Emperor Jingwen looked at the memorials in front of him and felt his head buzzing.
"This guy is really restless!"
The chief steward did not dare to answer, but just supported the emperor and slowly walked to the couch beside him.
"It seems that I am really old, and neither of these two people take me seriously anymore."
The chief steward knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. You are in your prime. You forgot that you were shooting with your own hands a while ago."
Emperor Jingwen didn't say anything, just shook his head gently: "Get up, I never blamed you, why are you kneeling!"
"yes."
Emperor Jingwen had been considering the issue of selecting the crown prince.
The Chief Steward served him almost every step of the way, so he naturally knew who the Holy One's favorite candidate was, but he just couldn't say it.
"Prince An is also a loser. He made a move after being provoked by just a few words. He didn't even think about it. How can it be the same if he does it in the palace?"
"What you are saying is that His Royal Highness Prince An is more upright and doesn't know how to beat around the bush."
King An's force value was still acceptable, but Emperor Jingwen thought about it and still wanted to transfer this fool out.
"Thank you Xiuwen and Wang Qinshan for coming to see me!"
Xie Xiuwen and Wang Qinshan were both running errands in the Yi Zheng Hall. When they heard the father-in-law's oral instructions, they naturally got up quickly, tidied up their appearance, and then hurried to Tai Chi Hall.
When the two of them went out, Zheng Ge Lao winked, and a clerk came out of the side door and quickly went to find out the news.
Mr. Zheng Ge has also been in trouble recently. Although the Holy Father still respects him, his trust in him is obviously insufficient.
He wants to secure the position of first assistant, but he obviously lacks the ability.
Now when it comes to seniority in the cabinet, it seems that he has the upper hand, but in fact, Xie Xiuwen and Wang Qinshan are doing all the important tasks.
In the past, he and Wang Qinshan shared the joys and sorrows, but after Xie Huaiyi's side fell, he obviously lacked confidence here.
However, Wang Qinshan was a stubborn person. Although Xie Xiuwen did something that offended the Zheng and Wang families, Wang Qinshan did not hold grudges for long, and the two soon reconciled.
Maybe it's because there is Xu Yuanqing among them.
In short, now CEO Zheng Ge feels that he is working alone in the cabinet, which is quite difficult.
Although Mr. Zhou Ge was also standing with him, compared to Wang Qinshan, Mr. Zhou Ge's status was obviously inferior.
Nowadays, the Holy Father often summons the two of them, but rarely takes the initiative to summon him. This makes Mr. Zheng Ge feel more and more that his position is not guaranteed, and he wants to make a comeback as soon as possible.
Not long after Xie Xiuwen and Wang Qinshan arrived, Emperor Jingwen summoned the general Zhenguo to come to see him.
After some discussion, the general also agreed to send King An to the north. However, because of his status as a prince, Emperor Jingwen issued a secret order to the local general to control King An when necessary.
Mainly because I'm worried that this kid will cause trouble again.
King An was sent out of the capital. No matter how you look at it, it seems that King Fu has won again.
After all, the conditions in the Northland where King An was sent were difficult, and he was not the chief general. The military power would not be in his hands for a while, and it was also far away from the center of power of Dazhi. After a long time, who would still remember it? he?
King Fu felt happy and was once again glad that he was right to anger King An in the palace.
In full view of everyone, he only fought back after Prince An hit him twice.
Therefore, now everyone is praising King Fu for his elder brother's bearing, which makes King An look more like a bastard.
King An was sent away, and Emperor Jingwen began to think about stuffing Xiao Wu into the military camp.
The reasons are easy to find and ready-made.
Li Henggang had just finished eating with his father. When he heard that he would be sent to the military camp for training, he was almost frightened.
"No, Father, why do you insist that my son join the military camp? Although my son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is still a weakling compared to those men who practice for six or seven hours every day! You, you Aren’t you planning to let your son go to the military camp to ask for a beating?”
"nonsense!"
Emperor Jingwen liked this son, so he would naturally not be happy to hear him demean himself now.
"Hey, look at your small body. I've heard that you had an archery competition with Cheng Jingzhou before? You seem to have lost?"
Li Heng didn't say anything, could he say it was intentional?
The teacher said not to let him get too ahead of himself, so that competition was planned by both him and Cheng Jingzhou, and since he only lost one link in total, it was not too embarrassing.
But the problem is that Emperor Jingwen didn't see it that way.
He felt that he was too kind to his son and had to let him go through more hardships.
Of course, more importantly, if you want to control the military, you have to make some real achievements.
"Okay, you go to the military camp to practice for three months, and then you can tell me anything else."
Let’s get familiar with all the connections first.
Li Heng withdrew with an unhappy look on his face, and then went to ask the teacher for advice. Xie Xiuwen suddenly smiled and looked at the fifth prince with sympathy. The emperor clearly wanted to train him as a civil and military emperor.
That's fine too.
Anyway, the Holy Emperor will not leave that chair for a while. This is an opportunity for Li Heng to practice for a few more years.
After the palace banquet, Xie Rongzhao focused on raising his son at home and did not dare to attend any banquet casually anymore.
Zheng Tingting was carried into Prince Fu's Mansion at the end of February. Although she could not have the title of concubine, it was said that Prince Fu gave Zheng Tingting the same treatment as a concubine.
This time, it can be regarded as giving enough face to the Zheng family.
Thanks to King Fu's efforts and the help of Mr. Zheng Ge, in early March, Zheng Xian was promoted to the fourth rank of Guozi Siye.
Although he is not as high as the former Minister of Rites, he is only one level behind and will soon catch up.
Moreover, Zheng Xian was demoted to the Imperial College by the emperor's decree, so no matter how hard Prince Fu and Zheng Ge Lao tried, they did not dare to let him leave the Imperial College for the time being.
He is already an Imperial College student, and the next step is to become a third-grade Imperial College student.
Don't think that if you leave the Sixth Department, you will have no real power in other places.
The Imperial College controlled a major trend among students in the world, and the Imperial College Siye was in charge of the teaching laws and decrees of the Imperial College and various schools. This power was quite powerful.
With power in hand, they naturally have the bargaining chip to help King Fu. Now that they are in the same boat, they will naturally work more diligently.
While King Fu was happy, he thought that what he lacked most right now was military power. (End of chapter)
