The emperor praised Zeng Qichang as the secretary of the Ministry of War, but he praised people, but whether he can sit firmly on this son depends on himself, Zeng Qichang is famous for being honest and honest, self-denial, and careful and serious in doing things, his ability is enough to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War, and what makes him a headache is the undercurrent of the various factions of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The predecessor Qin Shangshu released the rumor of Zhishi a year ago, there was no war in the DPRK and China this year, and he didn't take care of things, and handed over most of the things to the two waiters, these two people gathered contacts around the yamen to fight against each other, and now Zeng Qichang came over, only to realize that there are many factions in this yamen, most of them are two waiters, and a few are neutral factions, and the original life of surviving in the gap between the two waiters is not very comfortable, and now the new Shangshu is here, and they can also do errands with peace of mind, but this new Shangshu is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, When I first came here, I couldn't figure out this mess, how could I take care of the people below.

Zeng Qichang has been an official for many years, and he has finally achieved a party of feudal officials, not a Qing official who is deaf to the affairs outside the window and only does things for the people's livelihood, if he wants to go down in the officialdom, he has to fold when he should bend his waist, and he has to stand when he should stand up, and the two waiters do not obey discipline, and the errands handed over to them are pushed back, this situation he has seen a lot when he is a local official, it is still a practical project, he can supervise the completion, and now it is just some paperwork, he can't figure it out? It's just that the branches behind Jingguan are continuous, and he moves his whole body with a single hair, and he is still thinking about which to move and how to move.

As a result, before he could think about it, the emperor sent his cousin Yu Wenqin over, not only the emperor's cousin, but also Chen Shilang's quasi-son-in-law, as soon as Yu Wenqin came, Chen Shilang spoke loudly, not only pressed the right waiter out of breath, but even Zeng Qichang didn't put it in his eyes, in his opinion, this Shangshu position should be his, Zeng Qichang, a mud leg, should be outside to cultivate the field and repair the reservoir, and go back to Beijing to sit in the yamen, can you sit?

Yu Wenqin has a lot of respect for Zeng Qichang, but he is not very affectionate to this noisy quasi-father-in-law, Chen Shilang did not compete for the position of Shangshu, what is the value of Yude County Palace, not to mention his style, what can the girl of the Chen family be? This time it was a mistake.

The affairs of the military department have not been sorted out clearly, and there are other turmoil in the court, Yushitai said to the emperor, my emperor is not confused, so far there is no child under his knees, it is time to choose a virtuous son from the clan to succeed, set up as the prince, choose the Hanlin Academy of scholars to teach carefully, until they grow up, they will be able to Wen Taowu slightly through the heavens and latitudes, so that they can inherit the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is the first time that the court has bluntly said that the emperor has passed the matter, from before the golden boy brothers and sisters entered the palace, there were signs in the court, but the emperor was still young at that time, and no one dared to touch the emperor's eyebrows, but after so many years, the golden boy was married, the emperor still has no son, they are trying to provoke the emperor to say this, and they have to make a charter, although the emperor is still quite healthy now, and it is not a problem to sit on the dragon chair for another ten years, but the heir is settled, and he must not accept the cultivation of the prince? Ten years is still short to cultivate a qualified prince.

The emperor knew that this day would come sooner or later, and when he heard Yushi say this, he was relieved in his heart.

"What do you think?"

Speaking of opinions, the courtiers banned it again, it's really hard to say, they can't name and say whose child is smart, the emperor, you will succeed him!

The courtiers all set their eyes on several imperial historians, and the imperial historians said this together today, they must have already made up their minds, and now you are saying it.

Yu Shitai gave a few suggestions: "According to the rules of ordinary people to have stepchildren, the first thing is the bloodline, and the closer the bloodline, the more suitable it is to succeed." ”

There are not many clans in Beijing, and the emperor was very tragic in his succession, his brothers died, and he did not die but succeeded the children of those brothers, and now he can be said to be the sons and nephews of his bloodline, that is, the heirs of the Dejun Wangfu and the Li Prince's Mansion.

The people of these two provinces are not very prosperous, Prince Li's son is worse than the emperor, there is a county lord under his knees, not even a concubine, Prince Li has other grandchildren, and there are also a few grandchildren, but they are not famous, the emperor has to succeed a smart one, he can't even call the names of those boys, what do you want them to do.

The Dejun Wangfu is slightly better than the Prince Li's Mansion, the Dejun King has a son and two daughters, and the eldest son Yu Wenqin is also considered to be a young man, and he is the emperor's cousin, this blood relationship is close, but he is the son of the Dejun Palace, and the succession is generally the second son's concubine, how can there be a step-son, and the Dejun King is also this one son, and he has no son if he is taken away!

In addition, King Dejun also has a few nephews, who are the emperor's cousins like Yu Wenqin, but they are also the same as the boys in Prince Li's mansion, there is nothing to do, and they are not young, and they are past the age of being able to cultivate.

Then this is not much advocated according to the blood relationship, and the imperial history said that it is better to raise a smart child from the side branches of the clan, it is best to pick a four or five-year-old, who has been raised and is not easy to die, and it is just the age of entering school, pick a good gentleman for him, teach him for ten or eight years, and he can always teach it.

At this time, someone in the court said: "If you pick it from the side branches, why do you have to find a small one, isn't there one in the palace who has already been raised and taught?" ”

The DPRK was silent for a moment, and they all knew who it was talking about.

The golden boy was also standing beside King Dejun and listening, but before he could react, suddenly everyone's eyes fell on him, and he was stunned for a moment, oh, how did he talk about him.

"The sons are mediocre, they don't dare to take on this great responsibility, their father's spring and autumn are still healthy, and they can find a smart child to receive careful teaching in the palace, and they must be able to inherit their father's demeanor, and the sons will also fulfill their duties in the future to help protect the great country laid by the ancestors of the Yuwen family."

The golden boy may be a little worse in other skills, but a mouth can really speak, but it is not like Jiang Jun who can only talk nonsense, or say sweet words to coax the little girl, and he is dumb when he talks about business.

The golden boy is modest, but the emperor has not played this calculation, the golden boy was originally his spare heir, it is strange to say, the prince was originally the backup of the next monarch, the golden boy is the reserve prince, so many years in the palace The status of the former dynasty is also very embarrassing.

On the one hand, the emperor carefully taught him, on the other hand, he did not give up, and wanted to fight to give birth to a son, so the golden boy has always been just an adopted son, not an heir, if the golden boy has succeeded, the emperor has a son, then there can be a sharp edge to fight, but if he is destined to have no children in this life, then the golden boy is his heir, just like General Jin said, if you want to teach from the side branch and then start from scratch, why bother with this effort, the golden boy is not ready-made? And finding another one doesn't necessarily teach better than the golden boy.
