Guo Jun's request caught Cao Lan off guard.

She didn't expect her second son to make such a request to his brother.

Enter the government to handle government affairs.

He didn't seem to understand what such a request meant.

He was still looking at Guo Jin with expectant eyes.

"Before my father left, he just asked me to exercise and work hard, and he also asked me to practice reading and writing, but it was too boring to do this, my brother was tired every day, and I could only watch from the sidelines, and I couldn't care about it anyway."

Guo Jun approached Guo Jin.

"Brother, find something for me to do, and let me help you."

This is a request, undoubtedly a request, and there seems to be a little bit of coquettishness in the request.

Guo Jin has always loved his brothers and is very friendly, both to his biological brothers and to his younger siblings.

So the younger siblings think this brother is very friendly and easy to talk to.

Guo Jun's sudden request may also be that he thinks his brother will not refuse him.

But Cao Lan didn't think so.

Looking at the two brothers in front of her, Cao Lan suddenly remembered the conversation between her and Guo Peng that night.

A vision of the children's future path, and how to avoid the royal children from fighting in the same room.

About how Guo Peng laid out, how to create a new situation for the children to inherit, so as to avoid bloodshed and sacrifice only for the future of the throne.

Guo Peng has foreseen that children who grow up will have all kinds of ideas, and they will not just stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall and serve their parents forever.

They have their own independent personality and pursuits, and they will take the initiative to go outside, instead of playing in the mud all day long in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and respectfully greet their mothers.

But Cao Lan didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

So much so that she didn't even think about what she was going to say.

But Guo Jin has already taken the lead.

"Well, I'm worried that I don't have enough helpers to help me share some of the heavy responsibilities, and my brother must be reliable."

Guo Jin smiled and patted Guo Jun's shoulder: "My brother has also grown up, and it's time to do things, you can't stay in the deep palace all day long, that's not interesting." ”

Hearing Guo Jin say this, Cao Lan suddenly looked at Guo Jin in some surprise, and found that his expression was very normal, without the slightest abnormality.

Cao Lan didn't understand the entanglement between power and family affection, but she had been by Guo Peng's side for a long time, and she naturally understood it over time.

This is a big problem, the biggest issue related to the future throne, and the question of everything that has to be put aside.

But Guo Jin didn't seem to care.

Cao Lan felt that she had to say something, at least, this kind of thing would have to wait until Guo Peng's Northern Expedition came back to make a decision.

"Ah Jun, don't mess around, you don't have any experience in handling government affairs, what Ah Jin wants to do is a big thing, it is all national government affairs, the kind that will cause problems if you have a little mistake, you are not allowed to come nonsense, wait for your father to come back."

Cao Lan felt that it might be inconvenient for Guo Jin to say this, so she used her mother's identity to help Guo Jin open this mouth.

But before Guo Jun, who looked dissatisfied, could speak, Guo Jin took the lead in helping his younger brother speak.

"Mother, the experience of handling government affairs is not innate, if you don't do things, of course you can't have any experience, you have to do it, you can have experience, not experience first and then do things.

Ah Jun is also nineteen years old, when his father was nineteen years old, he had already led troops to the battlefield to fight the Yellow Turban thieves, my father was so heroic, how could I, as my father's son, live forever under the protection of my father? ”

Guo Jin's words made Guo Jun very happy.

"Thank you, brother! Mother, do you hear me? My brother feels like this, I'm going to be crowned next year, I'm about to become an adult, how can I always stay in the palace and not go out? Don't worry, mother, if my brother reminds me, it'll be fine. ”

This made Cao Lan very uneasy.

"But Ah Jun, your identity ......"

"Mother, don't worry, I have a plan."

Guo Jin smiled to appease her uneasy mother, and then looked at Guo Jun: "Ah Jun, it's okay to take you to run errands, but you are not yet an adult, and your father has not given you a crown gift, so strictly speaking, you can't go out to see courtiers yet."

Therefore, if you want to go out to run errands, you can't use the name of the royal disciple, you can't use the name of my brother, you have to change your name and identity, follow me, start from running errands, start from the most basic and most painful and tiring things, are you willing? ”

Guo Jun was overjoyed.

As long as you don't continue to study and practice calligraphy by your mother's side, it doesn't matter what name or identity, he doesn't care, as long as he can go out to see the world and participate in work.

It's really suffocating.

"It's up to my brother to decide!"

He stood up and saluted his brother.

"Well, worthy of my brother."

Guo Jin was very happy and helped Guo Jun up.

's father is not there, so naturally it is the eldest brother who is like his father, and Guo Jin is in charge.

As a mother, Cao Lan had the intention to stop it, but she didn't know how to stop it, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Jin's arrangement.

As for Xiao Guo Qiong clamoring to follow her brothers to run errands later, she was naturally ruthlessly suppressed by Cao Lan.

Can't control your two grown brothers, and can't control you from being a little bit?

Go back to school!

Under Cao Lan's high pressure, Guo Qiong was very depressed to go to study and practice calligraphy to cultivate her self-cultivation.

After that, Guo Jin arranged a fake name for Guo Jun [Zhao Yong], asked him to go back to change his clothes and clothes, and then went to Fengtian Temple to standby, and he would arrange a suitable position for Guo Jun for him to do.

Overjoyed, Guo Jun ran out impatiently.

Cao Lan then grabbed Guo Jin, who was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Ah Jin, Ah Junta...... Should you ask your father first? Ah Jun is your own brother after all, so ......"

"Mother, don't worry."

Guo Jin held Cao Lan's hand: "I have my own measure in these things, Ah Jun is my younger brother, he is nineteen years old, it's time to do something, my father has already gone to the battlefield when he was nineteen years old, risking his life to kill the enemy."

Our brothers shouldn't be like waste, the eldest has to live alone under the protection of his parents, is this what father and mother want to see? Guo's children, there shouldn't be waste, Ah Jun is willing to do it, then let him do it. ”

Cao Lan couldn't feel relieved.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he does some chores, but what if he wants to be emperor?

Can Guo Jin still calmly say something like "let him do it"?

Cao Lan didn't believe it.

Cao Lan loves each of her children, but from the status of the queen, she knows very sensibly that she must fully support her son as the crown prince, not the other two sons.

This is the best way to protect every child.

So she wanted to stop it, but the situation was such that she didn't know how to stop it.

After thinking about it, she still wanted to try.

"If outsiders know that Ah Jun is your younger brother and is involved in government affairs, isn't that right? Forget about the crown prince, other princes go to be officials to do things, there has been no such thing since ancient times, don't you need to avoid suspicion?

And in this way, I am afraid that the courtiers will talk about it after they know it, and they don't know what they will think, and your father is not here at this time, how should this be? ”

"Mother is too worried."

Guo Jin smiled and shook his head: "The brothers and sisters have hardly dealt with foreign ministers, and there are only a few people in the court who know their appearance.

I just need to say hello one by one and ask them not to spread the word, so that Ah Jun can be an official as an ordinary official, which is also a good experience. ”

Cao Lan really didn't know how to stop it now, she could only hope that Guo Peng would come back to deal with this matter.

She doesn't understand national affairs, but she knows that if the royal affairs are not handled well, they will be great things if they fall at the national level.

Guo Jin had made up his mind, and in the afternoon of the same day, he asked Guo Jun to change his appearance and enter the team of private clerks beside him in the name of [Zhao Yong].

This is a small team of twenty people selected by Guo Peng's command and let Zhang Zhao lead the ministry.

All of them are rookie officials, with a clean net worth and no complicated background, staying by Guo Jin's side and being responsible for helping him run errands.

Guo Jun tied up his hair, put a mustache under his nose, changed his name and surname to hide his identity and joined it, becoming an inconspicuous twenty-one person.
