Group favorite Xiao Fubao: My father is nine thousand years old in Dongchang

Chapter 113 Heading to Youzhou
Jiang Shuda said: "Could it be that there are officials in Youzhou protecting each other?"

Jiang Shangshu's face became darker, "Yes or not, you can find out if you go and see. I'm afraid that the second minister of the Ministry of Industry will not have your share, but if the errand is done well, maybe you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to try."

Jiang Zhongyan pursed his thin lips slightly and nodded.

The next day, Jiang Zhongyan set off with Jiang Bowu's men. He left Beijing on the grounds of inspecting the embankment. The destination was not Youzhou, but Huaizhou above Youzhou.

Now that the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry is missing, Jiang Zhongyan went out at this time, obviously for the purpose of giving himself money.

Even the emperor thought so, so he didn't care much.

But some people are anxious.

After listening to Mr. Su's statement, the emperor yawned and said to Mr. Su: "Although Jiang Zhongyan is a member of the Jiang family, he has indeed made contributions to the imperial court in terms of flood control. This time, he took the initiative again. You are invited to inspect the state government below, I don’t think you should think too much about it.”

"But your majesty, Jiang Zhongyan didn't go out for inspection early? He didn't go out for inspection later, but he chose this time. I'm worried that his purpose is not pure."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and looked at the eldest prince and prince beside him.

"Do you think what Master Su said makes sense?"

The eldest prince said nonchalantly: "I feel that Mr. Su is a bit of a soldier. Jiang Zhongyan wants to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is reasonable to go out to inspect the embankment to accumulate reputation. There is nothing to doubt, but I feel that Jiang Zhongyan cannot be allowed to succeed. .”

"How to say?"

"The Jiang family is now in full swing. Jiang Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. His eldest son and third son are in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households respectively. If Jiang Zhongyan goes to the Ministry of Industry, then three of the six departments of the court have people from the Jiang family."

The emperor straightened up, his eyebrows drawn into a knot.

If the eldest prince doesn't mention it, the emperor will forget that the Jiang family is no longer the Jiang family.

The prince just came here to dawdle. Seeing the vigilance on his father's face after the eldest prince finished speaking, he opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Master Su was very anxious for him. The Su family paid a lot of money to send the crown prince to the emperor, but who would have thought that the crown prince would be so disappointing.

She was completely reduced to the background version of the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what the eldest prince said is very true. The Jiang family must not be allowed to control the court. It is better to take advantage of Jiang Zhongyan's absence in the capital and set up the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry. It will be too late when Jiang Zhongyan returns."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Master Su is right, but who can be qualified for the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Master Su said with a dry smile, "As for the candidate, His Majesty will naturally have the final say."

The emperor snorted and said that he was here to relieve the king's worries, not to fight for the benefits of his family.

The emperor was disappointed.

One of the people who competed with Jiang Zhongyan for the position of servant was a member of the Su family, named Su Ye, who was Master Su's nephew. Compared with Jiang Zhongyan, this person was far behind. He was also sent to a local place to build a port before, which caused the court to lose money. Received nearly 300 million taels of silver.

Such an incompetent person, how could the emperor give him the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Not even for the face of the Su family.

The eldest prince seemed to see the embarrassment of the emperor, "Father, as for the candidate for the minister of the Ministry of Industry, it is better to let the Ministry of Officials recommend it. Anyway, as long as it is not Jiang Zhongyan, it is fine. As for who it is, naturally the talented will live."

"The emperor is right." The emperor glanced at the eldest prince approvingly, but the prince at the side didn't even glance at it.

Master Su's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for someone else in the end.

The eldest prince smiled triumphantly.

Compared to Jiang Zhongyan, he didn't want people from the Su family to sit in this position. Mr. Su held an important position, and Commander Su was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace. As long as the Su family did not fall, the crown prince's position would not be shaken.

Although the father had promised that the position of the prince would be given to him, if the Su family was too strong, it would be difficult for him to take the position of the prince.

As for the Jiang family?

It has to be said that Jiang Shangshu is very good at teaching his sons. His sons are all outstanding. Such a person with outstanding abilities will inevitably be used when he ascends the throne in the future. As for the relationship between the Jiang family and Si Chenye...

The eldest prince believes that the Jiang family will make the right choice when the time comes.

When the emperor's decree was passed on to the Ministry of Officials, everyone thought Jiang Shangshu would be angry, but he didn't care at all, and directly asked the officials under him to draw up a list and submit it to the emperor to make a decision.

The emperor was very satisfied with the arrangement. After reading the resumes of the recommended people, he put a tick on the name of one of them.

Then I came to the school in the palace with great interest.

After seeing the prince who studied hard, he suddenly didn't mind not being able to have another prince.

He has so many princes, there will always be someone who can afford the world.

So what if Si Chenye is so powerful?
It is impossible for him to have a son in his life, only one daughter. As for his daughter who grew up in the palace, served as a slave, and was once ridden by the prince, such a person will not be too big even if he grows up. future.

The eldest prince is undoubtedly the most talented person among all the brothers, but recently he is obsessed with riding and shooting, and has slackened a lot in his studies. When Li Ye answered the questions, he was a little nervous.

But when Li Ye was sweating profusely because he couldn't answer, his heart relaxed again.

Sure enough, he is a waste, even if he doesn't study, he can get rid of him a lot, and he will never catch up with him in this life.

Although Li Ye's answers were not satisfactory, but he answered three of the five questions correctly, which is not bad compared to other princes, even better than the crown prince.

The emperor took a rare look at him, and was surprised to find that among these sons, Li Ye had the best temperament.

There are countless beauties in the emperor's palace, and he has always liked beautiful things.

"The fourth prince reads well."

Li Ye lowered his head without arrogance or impetuosity, "Thank you for the compliment. In fact, my son is not as good as my elder brother, but in the future, my son will definitely study hard not to embarrass my father."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction.

The Taifu also put a smile on his face, "What your majesty said is that although the fourth prince is the last one to study among all the princes, he is also the hardest one, and the fourth prince's handwriting is good, which is very good for your majesty. The way it was back then."

The emperor became more interested. Although he didn't look like an emperor, his handwriting was good.

After reading Li Ye's handwriting, the emperor liked it even more, "Grandpa Quan, I remember that there are two sets of copybooks written by the previous kings in the imperial study room, and they will be rewarded to the fourth prince in return."

"Yes."

Li Ye couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "Thank you, Father, for the reward."

There were ugly expressions on the faces of the First Prince and the Crown Prince.

The other princes were very happy for him.
