Chen Wenqi's words and deeds are usually extremely rigorous, and today I don't know what happened, he actually said such things in front of Xiao Chen and Lu Jing...... Is it drunk? A few beers won't do, right?

"I don't know Wu Hongchang well, but I met when I sent Liu Guifei to pass by Jiangnan County, and my impression is normal...... I heard that he was born as a master of money and grain? Xiao Chen said.

"It was not wrong to be the first county town of Qian Grain Master, and then he followed the emperor to get up, and he did more to stay in the rear and raise grain and grass, and his people are indeed very capable, our emperor has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and he has encountered a lot of crises and difficulties, but he is also too short of food, and the rear has always been stable, otherwise the emperor can call it 'Xiao He of me'?" Lu Jing said.

"So he still has talent." Xiao Chen said, "Wasn't Xiao He a prime minister back then?" ”

"We don't have a prime minister in Da Zhou, otherwise...... That won't be his turn, right? Lu Jing is obviously not very convinced by Wu Hongchang, or he doesn't like it very much.

These important ministers of the court have some knots with each other.

Although Wu Hongchang is only a governor of Jiangnan, but this person's status in the emperor's heart is not trivial, if Lu Jing, Wang Anbang, Chen Wenqi are they are 'ministers of the humerus', then this Wu Hongchang can definitely be regarded as a 'confidant'.

Back then, the crown prince Li Xian was so arrogant and domineering, but he had great respect for this Wu Hongchang, and everyone was a courtier who gave gifts to the prince, but he gave gifts to Wu Hongchang every year in the name of rewards, no matter what treasures, he would never be stingy!

Not only the crown prince, Li Shi, and Li Feng are also extremely dependent on Wu Hongchang, and everyone before and after them calls him Lord Hongchang, and he never calls him by his name.

At the beginning, there were also rumors that the emperor left Wu Hongchang for the prince's use, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, Wu Hongchang will definitely be the prime minister!

Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows if it's true or not.

Xiao Chen actually heard the old man Chen Jisheng say that Wu Hongchang is just a money and grain master, and he usually acts very low-key, but he is wise and good at scheming, but he is not just as simple as understanding the economy.

The reason why Li Wanjiang has been letting him go abroad is that he doesn't want him to get involved in the open and secret battles of several princes, so that no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he will be reused......

And Wu Hongchang is indeed not a princeling, nor a Jiangdong faction, nor a Fengyang faction, he does not respond to the prince's overtures, nor does he snub the other two princes......

can also be comfortable between the three of them, no one is close, no one is offended, just to do this, in fact, it is not easy.

This is quite similar to Chen Wenqi.

Chen Wenqi belongs to the emperor's faction, he only recognizes the emperor, not the prince, when the prince was arrogant, he did not stand in line, so after the prince's accident, he was not implicated.

Maybe he has already seen that the crown prince Li Xian can't do anything, right?

Now the emperor is obviously biased towards the little prince Li Qiu, and seems to have the intention of cultivating him to become the crown prince, but despite this, Chen Wenqi has never been close to Li Qiu, and he has no personal relationship except for official meetings.

and Li Shi and Li Feng, the two princes, are not far away, not close, not separated.

But such a calm person is obviously a little unable to sit still now, just because the emperor may want to summon Wu Hongchang......

Summoned must be reused! At that time, his position as the emperor's most trusted courtier will inevitably not be very stable.

In fact, he wants to be the secretary of the ministry, firstly, the secretary is the first of the six, and secondly, the household is also important, but in the final analysis, it is still a job.

Tired and tired all day long, not only did he not get any political achievements, but he also left a lot of complaints.

Offended a lot of people.

In addition, he heard the emperor inadvertently say that he wanted to choose a college student as the first assistant to the newly established cabinet...... Others may not be able to figure out how important the cabinet is, but he Chen Wenqi knows it!

The so-called cabinet chief assistant will be as important as the prime minister in the future!

The cabinet has just been formed, and the emperor will definitely not appoint anyone to be the first assistant, but I am afraid that he will still choose one of the ministers from the DPRK and China to serve as the concurrently.

If that's the case, it won't be his turn Chen Wenqi, because there are too many affairs in the household department, and he now feels too busy to sleep for more than two hours every night, and he can't concurrently serve as the first assistant of the cabinet at all!

If you make a book of officials, then you can do it.

But he didn't take the initiative to ask Ying to tell the emperor that he wanted to be a secretary of the ministry, so he could only ask others to recommend him, but he suddenly found that he had no friends around him...... Not a single one.

Because he originally positioned himself as a 'lonely minister' who was only loyal to the emperor, and now he realizes how lonely he is.

I have been distraught in the past few days, and I have no intention of dealing with the affairs of the ministry, so I came out of the yamen early today, thinking about going home to copy the Diamond Sutra and calm my mind, but unexpectedly, the ghost sent the god to run to Xiao Chen.

He has never dealt with Xiao Chen, and he has suggested more than once that the emperor should get rid of him, and now he thinks so too!

But there is no personal grudge between him and Xiao Chen, and whether to say it or not, Xiao Chen's kid is really refreshing and exquisite, and he is neat...... Maybe this kid is also the kind of person that the emperor called 'lifting weights like light'?

In addition, although this kid is certainly not a gentleman, he is not a villain, although he is scheming, but he is well-versed in affairs, mainly about righteousness.

For example, after Wang Anbang's death, two nephews came to the door and wanted to embezzle the family property, but everyone else turned a blind eye and refused to take care of this idle matter, and he was willing to come forward.

Not only did he personally go to the door to clean up the two boys, but he even openly said that he wanted to support that Mrs. Li!

This is something that only his kid can do.

Chen Wenqi knew that Xiao Chen and Wang Anbang had a good relationship on the surface, but in fact, they didn't deal with each other, he should be very happy that Wang Anbang died, the family was in chaos, it was normal for him to watch the fire from the other side, and it was already very interesting not to add fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect to go to extinguish the fire in person......

Of course, it may also be Lu Jing's entrustment, after all, Xiao Chen has a good relationship with Lu Jing, and the others are here!

Of course, Chen Wenqi didn't come to Xiao Chen to seek his support, and the two didn't have that friendship at all, they just wanted to come to find out his tone and see what he knew, what he thought about the current situation, and what regulations the little prince didn't know?

After all, the important vacancy of the Ministry of Officials, in addition to him Chen Wenqi, there are many people who are worried about it.

"If there is a prime minister, I think Master Chen will have to do it, except for him, don't think about the second person!" Of course, Xiao Chen's words may not be sincere, maybe he just said this in front of Chen Wenqi, and everyone was happy.

Because the emperor obviously has no intention of setting up a prime minister, it is true and false, false and real, and it is just like that.
