Emperor Qing was actually hesitant to hand over the postal system to the crown prince.

He was not afraid that Li Chengqian would increase his power through the postal route system.

He considered how Li Chengqian would deal with the mess in the mail system.

A postal road system adds up to more than 100 post stations and thousands of personnel.

Pull it out casually, and everyone has a relationship with a certain official.

One or two is nothing, but a thousand means a large and complex web of relationships.

If Li Chengqian's handling of the matter is too crude and touches everyone's interests, it will inevitably cause a violent backlash.

However, if the means are too soft, it will be very difficult to change the current situation of the postal system.

In fact, this postal route system has almost faintly had a bit of the current bureaucratic pattern of Qingguo.

Although the postal system has only been around for a few years, it is far less complicated than the intricacies of the river transportation yamen.

But it's not an easy place to move.

If you're not careful, don't look at the current court, there are many people in the court who agree with it.

But once something goes wrong, I'm afraid that the impeachment movement can quickly pile up into a small mountain.

Therefore, if he really wanted to protect the prince, he should have sternly rejected this request.

But jade is not cut.

Although Li Chengqian was a little impressed by the Xinbao incident.

But no matter how well the newspaper is run and how influential it is, compared with the political affairs of the court, it is not worth mentioning after all.

However, the postal route system is different, and the complex network of relations in it has already faintly seen the clues of Qingguo officialdom, and the problems and situations that need to be dealt with are far from being comparable to running a newspaper.

If Li Chengqian can handle this postal system well, then he will truly recognize Li Chengqian's qualifications to take his place in the future.

What's more, even if Li Chengqian suffered a setback on the issue of the postal system and caused chaos.

He is also absolutely sure that he is in control of the situation.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he still agreed to Li Chengqian's request.

When the words fell, he looked up at Lin Ruofu, who had been silent, and said, "Lord Lin, according to the draft decree of the Zhongshu Province, add the post of mail and route transfer envoy to the prince." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu hurriedly responded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian also immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

At this moment, the second prince Li Chengze suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the postal system is complex and has many affairs. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace lowered their eyes slightly and fell silent.

No one believed that the second prince was really here to help the prince share his worries.

The dispute between the two princes and the crown prince is known throughout the dynasty, and even because of Emperor Qing's indulgence, the court is faintly divided into clear opposites.

It's just that although they have their own tendencies, when the crown prince and the second prince have already come forward to stand in front of the stage, it is not easy to interfere.

In other words, there is no longer a qualification to meddle.

Because of the problems between the royal families, Emperor Qing made a decision alone.

"You're a brother." Emperor Qing glanced at Li Chengze meaningfully, and his tone could not hear joy and anger.

Li Chengze was the whetstone he chose for the crown prince.

After all, the inheritance of a country is crucial.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to put Qingguo in the hands of a waste.

Even, if the prince is too quiet and guards the East Palace all day long, he will take the initiative to find some errands for the prince to do.

After all, a country is so big, where can a person who can only hide in the deep palace bear it?

Therefore, he is not afraid of the prince doing things, he is afraid that the prince will not do anything.

It's just that now the prince has grown a lot, and even takes the initiative to find some errands to do.

It seems that there have been a lot of changes in personality.

It seems that there is no need for Li Chengze, the whetstone, to continue to fulfill his mission.

After all, if he continues to let Li Chengze be this whetstone, he is afraid that the future fate will be very miserable.

After all, this is also his own son.

However, the thought only passed through his mind, and it was fleeting.

The Whetstone project has been in place for many years, and it's a shame that it's abandoned like this.

What's more, in order to build momentum for Li Chengze, he publicly proclaimed his virtue and virtue at the age of twelve, officially named Li Chengze as a prince at the age of thirteen, and even built a prince's palace for him outside the palace at the age of fourteen, the specifications are almost not weaker than the East Palace, and at the age of fifteen, he directly gave Li Chengze the right to participate in politics in the imperial study.

And these things are often the rights of the prince alone.

This is also why it is clear that the crown prince is the legal heir, but the second prince Li Chengze can also gather a force of his own in the court.

The dispute between the second prince and the crown prince was also far from a one-day affair.

Some things, once started, are hard to turn back on.

In particular, it will take enough time to verify how the crown prince has changed and whether he can become a qualified heir.

Before that, a whetstone that he had carefully cultivated could not be abandoned.

He glanced at Li Chengqian and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”

Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, he arched his hand, and said, "If the second brother wants to come, the son has no objection." ”

Emperor Qing said: "Okay, Li Chengze, I will appoint you as the deputy envoy of the postal route to assist the prince in handling the postal route affairs." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengze was full of joy and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success." ”

However, the moment he lowered his head, a faint bitterness couldn't help but appear on his face.

He is not a fool, and naturally knows how low the probability of him being in that position is if he wants to overthrow Li Chengqian.

When he was crowned king, he asked himself to be named the idle king, which meant that he did not want to get involved in these things.

It's a pity that under Emperor Qing's will, his will has never been important.

Under the coercion of the general environment, he just didn't want to fight and had to fight.

After all, ordinary rich and noble families fight, and they lose the most and lose their property and future.

But in the battle for the throne, if you lose, you will lose your life.

If he wants to live, he has to fight.

Of course, he may not have been without ambition under the influence of various voices.

It's just that the prince who was lustful and weak in the past has sprung up, first running a new newspaper, and now he has to meddle in the mail route.

At present, the strategy, talent, and courage shown are no longer Wuxia Ameng.

And the main reason why he once had the opportunity to sit on the throne of the crown prince was that he showed his heart and talent to surpass the crown prince.

Once this advantage disappears, his already small chance of becoming the crown prince will become more and more slim.

It's not worth risking your life for such a slim chance.

He made this request today, in fact, not simply to compete with the crown prince, but to ask Emperor Qing.

Now that the crown prince has changed, can he not be allowed to be that whetstone again?
