Zeng Yi, who returned to the small courtyard, couldn't sleep with excitement, and after doing so much work, he finally included the servant of the Ministry of Officials into the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, plus the Shilang of the Military Department Wan Huojing, the Governor of Sichuan, Li Guoying, and the power of the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion in the imperial court finally improved a little.

Next, it's time to consider the secretary of the ministry, the squire is always just the second-in-command of the ministry, only by pulling the secretary of the ministry on the thief ship, then the pro-army Governor's Mansion can say that he has mastered the ministry, and only when he really masters the ministry, can the pro-army Governor's Mansion install officials in the capital.

It is not so easy to be in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in the country, examinations, promotions, transfers, decorations and other affairs, and is the highest official of the Ministry of Officials, the head of the six central books. It is often referred to as Tenkan, Tsukazai, and Dazai. The official department is equivalent to the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the minister of human resources and social security in reality.

Of course, the Ministry of Officials is only in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials below the fourth grade, and the emperor must make a decision if the fourth grade is exceeded, but this is also very awesome, if the pro-military Governor's Mansion has mastered the Ministry of Officials, then many middle and lower-level officials can be slowly replaced by their own people, which is very important for the little princess to inherit the throne and be able to manage the court smoothly.

Of course, the Ministry of Officials is the most important thing for the Governor's Mansion of the pro-army, and after pulling the Officials and Servants onto the thief ship, they immediately started work on the Ministry of Officials and began to collect information on the Ministry of Officials.

However, it only lasted for a few days, and one thing disrupted the peace of the capital, among the royal family, the best young men all came to the capital, nominally to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but in fact, the officials of the court and the central government all understood their intentions, they just saw that the emperor had no heir, and felt that they had a chance, and came to the capital for activities!

Those young Junjie of the royal family are not deservedly called young Junjie, all of them are handsome and chic, and they are also brilliant, and they are deeply liked by those rotten Confucians in the capital, of course, for them, as long as they are heavy on Confucianism and Confucianism, whoever is the emperor is the same, as for what direct or collateral, or even whether it is a royal family, it is not bad for them, even if a foreign family rules the Central Plains, they will still respect Confucianism!

There are many royal sons who have come to the capital, but there are three of the most eye-catching, and these three people have a characteristic, that is, they are the hardest in the background, and they are also the closest to the emperor's relatives. In the eyes of those ministers who don't know the truth, these three people are also the most likely to inherit the throne.

The emperor Lao'er summoned them, did not show any emotion, and even happily, in the tone of an elder, forced everyone, as soon as this attitude came out, many people speculated that the emperor was going to choose an heir among them, even those young junjie thought so, and even couldn't wait to start a relationship one by one.

However, Zeng Yi understood that the emperor was already angry in his heart, and that attitude was just to confuse everyone, otherwise he would not have secretly increased his support for Sun Laodao on the second day after he summoned those young heroes, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials and materials were sent to Sun Laodao as if they didn't need money.

"Hehe, the emperor is also anxious, he is so old, there must be ministers one after another to force him to set up an heir, after all, an heir is also a great magic weapon to stabilize the world."

"So, what are we going to do?" Sun Laodao's medical skills are unfathomable, but he is not good at conspiracy.

"Don't worry, you're in control. You can give the emperor a little confidence, don't let him despair, and really set up those young and handsome princes as the crown prince. ”

Those young and handsome people, after being received by the emperor, mistakenly believed that the emperor really wanted to choose an heir among them, and one by one began to be active in a way that they could not wait, and in just a few days, the threshold of those ministers in the court was about to be kicked off. Those sons of the world take turns to give gifts to ministers and build relationships every day.

Wan Huojing, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, is naturally the most important part of these people's relationship, this guy received gifts worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in just a few days, and the envious Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Made, in such an environment, it's better to make money or be an official!" ”

Wan Huojing received a lot of gifts, and the servant of the Ministry also received a lot, after all, he was also the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials, and the most valued was the Ministry of Officials, the head of the six books. The three royal side sons who felt the most promising were all given heavy gifts, and they all tried their best to pull the relationship.

At first, Zeng Yi was just watching the play, although he was a little envious, but he knew the emperor's original intention and planned to seize the throne for the little princess, so he didn't care too much, but two days later, he received the news of Wan Huojing.

Zeng Yi was shocked, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went to meet Wan Huojing, only to learn that the lucky prince was the eldest son of a royal marquis, and his Laozi marquis of the royal family actually studied in the academy together with the official department Shangshu when he was young. The descendants of the classmates, of course, have to support the Ministry of Officials, if with his support, the prince really sits on the throne, then the credit of the Ministry of Officials will be great, maybe they can go further and rank among the three dukes!

"What to do? If he fully supports that son, our plan to win him over will definitely be affected! ”

Zeng Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't you also nominally support one before?" ”

"The people who came before, whether it is the background or their own quality, can't compare with those three at all, otherwise before, those ministers would not have chosen to wait and see!"

"If that's the case, then it's a necessary change plan!" Zeng Yi pondered for a while, looked at Wan Huojing, and said: "Well, you are old, you also joined the camp of that prince, and at the same time, let the servants of the ministry join together, nominally assist him, and secretly win over the officials of this faction, there is a pro-army governor's mansion, I believe that this faction will soon become our power, and when the time comes, it will nominally act with that prince, but secretly it can also pave the way for the princess, as long as the time is ripe, you can kill that prince at any time!" Then this faction is naturally Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

"Then, what about the official book?"

"He? ...... Ignore him first, let them help us win people's hearts, and if you are obedient when the time comes, you will accept it, and if you don't obey, you will be killed directly! ”
