This person is also one of his personal bodyguards, and like Lord Ye, he often takes care of some tricky matters for him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the news that the three old Mr. Cao were brought back by you has also spread in the city."

"After the nobles of the family in the city inquired about the identities of the three old gentlemen Cao, they sent people to visit, looking like they were planning to make friends with the three old gentlemen Cao."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, which was beyond his expectations.

"Oh, what is the reaction of the three old gentlemen Cao?"

"They don't dare to make friends with the nobles in the city, they already know your identity, and they are afraid of your identity, so they don't dare to make a move."

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded quietly, it is normal for the three old Mr. Cao to have such a reaction.

After all, those three people are all good at observing words and feelings.

"That is, someone has taken the initiative to come to the door, it can be regarded as throwing an olive branch, you continue to star, if the three of them dare to have other thoughts, let me know as soon as possible."

Although the person was brought back by himself, Chen Mu did not dare to guarantee that these three old Mr. Cao would not have other thoughts.

In the face of the glitz and glitz of the capital, in the face of the olive branches that those big families took the initiative to hand, can they not be recruited by those people?

If they really had other ideas, then he would not reuse them in the future.

Chen Mu thought about it like this, and asked about the establishment of the weather observation office, as early as when he returned to Beijing, Chen Mu had issued a decree to let the officials of the Ministry of Industry establish the weather observation office.

It's just that he didn't make a public announcement about this matter, and only asked people to prepare for the establishment of the government.

The people in Beijing knew that Chen Mu had issued another decree to prepare for the establishment of the government office, but they didn't know which department the government was related to, so they also sent someone to investigate.

Up to now, not many people know that the department is related to the three old Mr. Cao, and even the three old Mr. Cao don't know what the purpose of the establishment of that department is.

"The establishment of the government has been arranged, I heard from the adults of the Ministry of Works, at most two months, then the government can be established, if you are in a hurry to set up a department."

"It's okay to promulgate the decree first, and not rush to set up a government office."

After all, there are only three officials in the government, and the three old gentlemen do not have to be in the government to observe the weather.

Chen Mu nodded again, responded with a peace sound, waved his hand, and motioned for his subordinates to retreat.

Seeing this, the subordinate bowed, and then left in a hurry, Chen Mu noticed that Meng Qing's gaze fell on the body of the subordinate, and he didn't take it back for a long time, and frowned in surprise when he heard him.

"What's wrong? Why do you keep staring at that guard? ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Chen Mu's voice, Meng Qing was stunned, she suddenly came back to her senses, blinked slyly, and said.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about it, this guard is your confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just like Lord Ye, and he seems to know a lot of His Royal Highness the Prince's decrees and plans to deal with the ministers of the court."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement, and he saw that after Meng Qing finished speaking, a little hesitation appeared on his face.

He took the man in his arms and continued.

"What's wrong? As soon as these four gentlemen appeared, you turned your attention to him, I am your husband, and I am afraid that you will taste like this. ”

When Meng Qing heard this, she burst out laughing, and then seemed to think of something, and put away the smile on her face again.

"There's one thing. I have noticed it recently, and I am also worried that I have misunderstood, so I hesitate to report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Oh?

Could it be that it has something to do with that?

Chen Mu frowned when he heard this, and motioned for Meng Qing to continue, and when Meng Qing saw this, he told him everything about the situation he had noticed recently.

"Just a few days ago, when I passed by the east gate outside the Imperial Garden, I saw one of the guards standing by the wall and talking, and the two of them looked a little sneaky."

"That minister is a clean official, but the guard is your confidant after all, and I'm worried that if he gets too close to the minister, it will have an impact on your government decree plan."

Chen Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, and he immediately asked Meng Qing about the identity of the adult.

It turned out to be an adult from the Ministry of Industry, Chen Mu frowned.

Could it be that it has something to do with the establishment of the research government.

He still trusted his subordinate very much, and after a moment of silence, he said to Meng Qing.

"Okay, I know, I'll send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and if he really has a problem, I won't let him go."

Although he trusts his subordinates, he contacts officials privately, which is indeed noteworthy.

Meng Qing nodded in response.

I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, Chen Mu asked people to check the guard's whereabouts in the recent period.

I found that the guard had a close relationship with the lord of the Ministry of Works, and he had to go to the other party's mansion every three days.

And the Lord of the Ministry of Works was not the one who inherited his decree and was in charge of building the government.

"Although this lord is from a small family, it seems that he has no power in the court at first glance, but as far as I know, this lord has a very good relationship with that king of the plains."

King Hirano is a king of the opposite sex, who has ascended to the throne step by step by virtue of the military exploits of his ancestors.

The position is not high, but he has military power in his hands.

Chen Mu's face immediately became serious, and he said after a moment of silence.

"Send someone to thoroughly investigate the King of Hirano, as well as the Lord of the Ministry of Works, and let people pay close attention to that Qian Liang."

Qian Liang was the name of the guard.

His subordinates immediately responded.

He had asked Lord Ye to thoroughly investigate Qian Liang's connections, and he also excluded the guards who were with Qian Liang from his henchmen's team.

quietly alienated Qian Liang and Qian Liang's companions, but they didn't notice it.

And when Chen Mu realized that there were very likely other forces behind Qian Liang, he also paid attention to Qian Liang's attitude when he reported the situation in Beijing, and the news of occasional inquiries.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Ministry of Commerce has been established, but no officials have been arranged to enter the Ministry of Commerce so far, when do you plan to make overall preparations for this Ministry of Commerce?"

Qian Liang helped Chen Mu place the documents on the other side of the table, and asked seemingly casually.

Chen Mu's hand holding the brush was broken, and he couldn't say quietly.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait until the trade roads are built, and then arrange people to enter the Ministry of Commerce as officials, I estimate that when all the trade roads are built, the scientific expedition is over."

"At that time, it is just right to arrange a group of new officials to join the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Commerce also needs young blood."

"The Ministry of Commerce is not like several other departments in Beijing, and it needs people from the big families to stabilize the minds of officials in the department."

Qian Liang nodded and responded.

There was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Chen Mu glanced up at Qian Liang, and saw at a glance what Qian Liang was thinking about, Chen Mu sneered.
