After everyone saw the ceremony, the subordinates all withdrew. Chen Yuanheng said: "Isn't Hui'er reading the princess's account? Why is it here? ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Originally, Wen Hui heard that she was going to talk about the hospital, so she came to talk to me about a few things. ”

Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan both nodded.

Princess Lichuan said: "Actually, you should also know that I invited you over, not because of the hospital, but because King Qi is going to serve in the ministry." We need to think about it quickly. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Princess, just now, I have discussed this matter with His Royal Highness, this idea must be the palace Concubine Wande to the emperor, Concubine Wande retreated as advance, knowing that the position of the prince was directly requested, and the emperor could not agree, so he retreated and asked to enter the ministry." Hello to the officials. In the next few years, the promotion and demotion of all officials in the world will have to be decided by the officials, so won't he control the officials in the world? So we can't sit still, let's just find a concubine to suggest to the emperor, let several adult princes enter the six departments, just observe that the prince is more virtuous. ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Well, the third uncle's method is good, and the mother concubine also has this idea, that is, the fourth brother, which department do you want to go to?" ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "We discussed it, or follow my father-in-law, go to the Ministry of Industry, just right, my father-in-law wants to promote new species, in fact, to promote new species, we have been doing it in Jiangnan. It must be a great credit to do this, think about it, the people of Dachu got rid of the famine, this is a famous thing. ”

Liu Yan nodded.

Chen Wenhui said to Chen Yuanheng: "Father, why did you come back so quickly? When I went out in the morning, I didn't see you come home? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I am only checking in the Gyeonggi area this time, and I will be able to go further away after a while. I just returned to the Ministry of Engineering today. After entering the palace, I heard about the King of Qi, and went to the Jin Palace. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Father can't even take care of his family for the sake of King Jin. Is this the only thing we know? Who in the world doesn't know that King Jin's princess is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, and who doesn't know that King Jin's exploits in Jiangnan are because of his father's help? Who doesn't know that we're all in this together? ”

Princess Lichuan and Chen Yuanheng both pondered.

Liu Jingyuan said: "Yes, now Concubine Wande is the favorite, can she let us get this credit smoothly?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Since we can't, we only have ideas, don't enter the Ministry of Industry." Anyway, if my father can succeed, there will be King Jin in this credit. It's better to take a little more credit from other departments. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "If the adult princes all enter the sixth, then the king of Zhou will also enter the sixth." ”

Princess Lichuan laughed and said, "My second brother." He has no hobbies, and he knows that he has no hope in the big position, and I guess he mostly chooses to deal with money, the most oily and watery household. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Jingyuan said: "Then we can only choose the remaining four." No, there are only three, because they won't let us choose because of the Ministry of Works. ”

Liu Yan said: "It is estimated that they want to see me enter the Ministry of Rites the most. It's an idle department, and it doesn't have any real power. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "No, they will not let King Jin enter the Ministry of Rites." Because the Book of Rites is Lord Hu. That's Mingzhu's sister's maternal grandfather. Don't they know about the relationship? Can you let us go to the Ministry of Rites? Besides, it's been a long time since the sea trade began. The King of Jin was already sharing the profits of sea trade, and there were many small overseas countries, so just get a few local people to come over to congratulate him, that is the credit of history, which is easier than the credit of the Ministry of Industry? ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Mingzhu and I would affect His Highness." It's so easy to get credit for the ministry. They're not going to let us in. Then it's just the military department and the criminal department left. ”

Wen Hui said: "The Criminal Department, they don't really want us to go. ”

Liu Jingyuan was surprised and said: "The Criminal Department is the worst of the six departments, and it does all things related to crimes, and there are many cases that are difficult to investigate." Be a fool for one's pains. ”

Wen Hui said: "The Criminal Department is the worst place, but the Criminal Department has the right to censor a person. Except for royalty. up to the civil and military officials, down to the common people. That's a lot of power. If they are in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and King Jin is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, it is one that can promote officials, and the other can make officials go to prison or die. Do you say, do officials accept the rule of those who manage promotions, or do they respect those who value their lives? ”

Everyone thinks about it.

Princess Lichuan said, "In this way, there is only one military department to go. But now that they are using troops with the barbarians, they have already fought to the royal court of the barbarians, which is also a great credit for expanding the territory, can they give up? ”

Wen Hui said: "They don't want King Jin to go. However, the king of Jin always has to go to one, weighing the pros and cons, or the military department is more dangerous, and the barbarians are not so easy to defeat. They are nomadic people, living in pursuit of water and grass, and the royal court is just a few luxurious tents, and it is not difficult for them to find a place with abundant water and grass to build another one. I heard that it only takes half a day for the barbarians to set up a tent. How can this be considered a victory? Therefore, the war with the barbarians will continue for many more years. This war is very dangerous, and of course victory is a great joy, but what about defeat? At that time, King Jin will be in danger, how can they gamble on such a good opportunity. ”

Everyone also thought it was right, Princess Lichuan said: "Fourth brother, do you want to go to the military department?" ”

Liu Yan groaned a little, Chen Wenhui said: "Wealth and danger are sought, if you want to get the goal, you must dare to gamble." Also, I think the military department is better than the official department. Because, out of the barrel of a gun, out of power. If you want to control the world, you can't just control a few officials, you must master the army, so that you can be invincible. Xiucai rebelled for three years. But what if you have an army in your hand? ”

Everyone was stunned by Wen Hui's words, and Liu Yan said ruthlessly: "It's okay, wealth and danger are sought, I'd better go to the military department, right?" ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Sister Wen Hui's thinking is thoughtful. But what is power coming out of the barrel of a gun? Can't it be a knife, can't it be a sword? ”

Wen Hui then remembered that the gun that people in this era think of is not a musket, but a gun among the eighteen weapons: "Brother Liu, I'm just making an analogy, you can get to the bottom of it." ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled.

Princess Lichuan said: "That's good, I'm like my mother said, let my mother make a suggestion to my father, let the younger brothers go to the sixth department, and the fourth brother will choose the military department." ”

Wen Hui said: "Sister Princess, if we directly talk about the military selection department, then Concubine Wande will definitely make a hindrance." It's better to let the eldest aunt make a suggestion to the emperor and let the king of Jin enter the Ministry of Industry. When Concubine Wande heard this, she would definitely make a hindrance, and she would definitely make the emperor change his mind, and then she would be able to enter the military department smoothly. ”

Lichuan laughed and said, "Well, are you making a noise?" It's a lot of tricks. That's it. ”

Chen Yuanheng looked at his daughter with satisfaction, she was really smart.

Liu Yan looked at Chen Wenhui with a complicated expression, and for a while, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After Princess Lichuan finished talking to Chen Guifei about this, Chen Guifei said: "Well, Wen Hui is really a smart child, I didn't have time to talk about it at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and Lantern Festival banquet last time, and when I am busy for a while, I will call her into the palace to talk." ”

Princess Lichuan said, "What a cleverness. It's better than when I was a kid. Yesterday, my mother praised me for being better than my aunts, and I see, I am far worse than Sister Wen Hui. ”

Chen Guifei smiled and said, "You don't have to depreciate yourself. You're already rare. ”

Princess Lichuan said: "The mother naturally thinks that I am the best. By the way, concubine, this Concubine Wande is so arrogant, should we think of a way to deal with her quickly and make her less favored? Otherwise, she may have some ideas in the future? In the previous paragraph, didn't my father love Qian Concubine very much? The mother concubine hurriedly found a chance to let Concubine Qian regain favor, right? ”

Chen Guifei said: "Concubine Qian was originally very favored by your father. The person is also young and beautiful, and she is the gentle and watery type of Jiangnan woman. However, she is not a peerless beauty, where can she keep your father and emperor all the time? She gave birth to two more children, both of whom died, and now her face was haggard. Well, but what you said is very true, I have to think of a way to give Concubine Wande's grace points. By the way, the two concubines in your second uncle's family should also be trained, I will announce them into the palace tomorrow and wait for your father, such a young and beautiful girl will definitely be able to make your father's attention from Concubine Wande. At this time, I will give your father and the emperor advice to the adult prince to enter the six exercises, and he will definitely be able to succeed. Of course, these two concubines of the Chen family are not stunning beauties, and they can only get the favor of your father for a while, but they still can't compete with Concubine Wande. I have another idea. When the princes have entered the six ministries, I will make a statement to the emperor that the emperor's heirs are still too few, and among the six ministries, none of them can be done, and they still have to be Guangyan's heirs, so they should be selected. There are many newcomers, and Concubine Wande is bound to not be able to get the favor as before. It would be even better if there was someone more beautiful than Concubine Wande. ”

Princess Lichuan said: "This strategy is good, but before, there were courtiers who built yì selection, didn't the emperor say that in the past few years, it has been a military disaster and a drought, and it has not stopped, and now the tax has been increased, and the people have been very bitter with the barbarians. Mother said at this time, will my father be angry too? ”

Chen Guifei said: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way." It does not disturb the people. ”
