As soon as he said this, Chunhui Tower, which was already empty of people, seemed to be able to hear the news.
Dou Shiyuan's eyes moved slightly, and after a while he said: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean."
Zheng Ji leaned back, his expression became more comfortable and natural, and said: "You understand, this palace needs the Dou family."
Everyone knows that the emperor is hereditary, and the title is hereditary, but no officials are hereditary. Officials are selected by the dynasty. Only in this way can they play a supporting role in the hereditary emperor.
The fact that the Dou family can add the word "official department" in front of it shows that it is special.
Although officials only jokingly called him this since the Yongning Dynasty, it also illustrates the influence of the Dou family in the official department.
The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments of the Shangshu Province. It is in charge of the selection, honors, and examinations of civil officials across the country. The Merit Examination Department of the Ministry of Personnel also determines the performance evaluation of officials. The Dou family has people in these key positions. This is Dou. Family skills.
What Zheng Ji values is the ability of the Dou family.
Dou Shiyuan was the main reason why she wanted to use the Dou family.
However, a person and a family represent completely different meanings.
Yes, Dou Shiyuan, carefully cultivated by the Dou family, is the most important one among the Dou family. Perhaps the future prosperity of the Dou family will depend on him.
But now Dou Shiyuan is just a member of the Dou family in his twenties. He is the hard work of the Dou family, but the Dou family is not yet his.
Whether it was the Dou family or Dou Shiyuan, she would use it.
"Your Highness, why?" Dou Shiyuan couldn't help but ask.
The Dou family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is indeed special, but even if a falling tile can hit several powerful people, the Dou family is actually not that important.
Moreover, there are not many sons of the Dou family serving as officials, and he is the only one who is truly influential in the court.
This kind of Dou family is really nothing compared to those families with deep roots and luxuriant leaves.
Does His Highness Chang Ding favor the Dou family or the entire Dou family? Why?
Before Zheng Ji came to the appointment, he guessed that Dou Shiyuan would ask this question.
She couldn't be more clear about what the answer was.
She already has Changding's soldiers and has entered the martial arts pavilion, which is the cornerstone for her to enter the army; she has the full support of the Jiang family and the Jiang family's Huitong hall, which is her financial guarantee.
However, she still lacks the support of civil servants.
The Jiang family has always ignored the affairs of the DPRK. The foundation of officials is too weak. What she wants to do cannot be separated from the support of civilian forces.
Cheng Keyi, who helped her a lot in her previous life, is still in Jingyun County, and she doesn't know when she will come back.
The Dou family and Dou Shiyuan were one of the team members she was looking for.
This was the real reason why she wanted to use the entire Dou family, and the real reason why she arranged for Zhang Jian to contact the Dou family.
So, she replied: "Master Dou, I am my father's favorite princess. I have left the palace and opened a palace. I have 4,000 long-term soldiers, and my grandfather is the richest man in the country. Do you know all of this, right?"
Which official in the country doesn’t know this?
Dou Shiyuan nodded and replied, "So?"
"Master Dou, what do you think about this palace compared to other princes of my father's throne?" Zheng Ji asked, his voice was very low.
Dou Shiyuan immediately understood what she meant and was shocked: "Your Highness, you..."
He met the other person's eyes and was so stunned by the ambition in them that he was speechless.
Your Highness Chang Ding is indeed the princess that your father loves most. She is a princess. She... she actually aims at the world?
How can this be? This is absolutely impossible!
Dou Shiyuan shook his head subconsciously, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Your Highness, is the imperial concubine indeed pregnant?"
The matter of the imperial concubine's true and false pregnancy has come to an end, and her lifelong infertility is not a secret. But, who can tell clearly whether the palace matter is true or false?
He couldn't believe that His Highness Chang Ding wanted to conquer the world. The absolute most likely possibility was that... Jiang Guifei was pregnant, and the most likely possibility was that...
A prince will be born.
Only in this way will His Highness Changding do these things. Otherwise...a princess, this is something unprecedented!
"No, the mother-in-law can no longer conceive for life." Zheng Ji replied.
This answer made Dou Shiyuan's pupils slightly open and he stood up.
Seeing his reaction, Zheng Ji sighed slightly in his heart: Sure enough, even Dou Shiyuan couldn't believe it when he learned what she was thinking.
Even if it’s unprecedented, can’t it happen? What kind of truth is this?
However, these are normal reactions.
It would be unusual if Dou Shiyuan was calm and collected.
At this moment, there is no need for her to discuss this with Dou Shiyuan. What she wants is for the Dou family to be used by her, not to state her ambitions to Dou Shiyuan.
"Sit down. Lord Dou, just tell me, what's wrong with me?" Zheng Ji raised the question again.
Dou Shiyuan sat down, his heart still trembling, unable to answer this question for a while.
Indeed, judging from these, Her Royal Highness Princess Changding is no worse than the other princes of the emperor, including the prince.
If His Highness Changding is a prince, then...
Dou Shiyuan was startled by his own thoughts, and his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Zheng Ji smiled and said, "Even if I am not a prince, isn't the work I do beautiful?"
This time, Dou Shiyuan could not deny it without conscience.
For Zheng Chuan's sake, he had observed His Highness Changding for such a long time and understood more than anyone else about the major events he had done.
Ever since His Highness Chang Ding left the palace and opened his mansion, he has encountered several major events one after another, all of which have been dealt with smoothly, and his power continues to expand.
Don't say anything else, just say that the former palace guard Zhonglang Shi Dingfang is now loyal to him, which can be seen.
Palace guards, those are the emperor’s men!
In just a short time, His Highness Chang Ding conquered Shi Dingfang. This is his skill.
"Why should Master Dou care whether I am a prince or a princess? Isn't what Master Dou should care about most, not whether I can do it?"
Dou Shiyuan painstakingly arranged this meeting, didn't he confirm her ability?
She looked steadily at Dou Shiyuan, and the smile on her lips deepened: "Actually, whether this palace can do it is not what Master Dou should care about most. Could it be that what Master Dou should care about most now is not the Dou family?"
The Dou family of officials, this is certainly the trust the father has in the Dou family, and it is the glory of the Dou family, but how can it not be the crisis of the Dou family?
She believed that with Dou Shiyuan's ability, he would not be unaware of this.
To be more precise, Dou Shiyuan must have noticed it long ago and actively responded to it.
She ignored Dou Shiyuan's silence and asked with a smile: "Master Dou, have the Crown Prince and King Yi contacted you? Is the one you have chosen in your heart King Yi?"
As soon as these words came out, Dou Shiyuan's expression completely changed.
