After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 105 Some people are frustrated and some are proud.

"Weier, how hard was the journey to the capital? How did you sleep in the capital? Is today's meal satisfactory to your appetite?"

Empress Lou asked three times, which one is better, the legitimate son? Look at Wei'er and Jian'er, the legitimate son is better than the concubine!

Li Wei, who was eating quietly, put down his bowl and chopsticks suddenly, came to stand behind Queen Lou, and gently squeezed her shoulders.

"Grandmother, Weier's journey to Beijing is hard, but when he thinks of his grandmother, he doesn't feel the pain anymore. In Jiangnan, Weier often doesn't sleep well, because he thinks about his grandmother every day, but when he comes to his grandmother, he sleeps very well. Well, today's meals are all to your liking."

Levi is 12 years old this year, and with his innocent eyes, these words sound very true!
Queen Lou was greatly relieved after hearing this. She held Li Wei in her arms and kept patting him, looking very happy.

Emperor Shao Wu couldn't help but nod at the side, his look of love clearly visible.

Empress Lou stroked Li Wei's face and smiled at Emperor Shao Wu:
"My eldest grandson is filial, sensible and cute." Of course Li Wei is not the eldest grandson, but Empress Lou doesn't want to recognize the prince's sons.

Emperor Shao Wu nodded, and he didn't know whether he agreed with Queen Lou's statement that Li Wei was filial, sensible and cute, or with Queen Lou's statement that Li Wei was their eldest grandson.

"Weier, I have found a match for you. Duke Wei Zhang of Qi State has a daughter who is about the same age as you. I have personally seen this daughter. She is generous, decent and polite. Can she be your concubine?"

"But it's up to grandma to decide! Wei'er has no opinion, everything depends on grandma."

Queen Lou said to Li Chen again:

"Weier agreed, Chen'er, do you agree? As long as you agree, your majesty and I will summon Wei Zhang back to the capital tomorrow to be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs."

Where does Li Chen have any other opinions? The queen mother appointed Qi Guogong Wei Zhang's daughter for his son-in-law, and also called him to Beijing to be the Minister of the Household Department. What is this doing!

This is to win him allies, cultivate power, and pave the way for him to be the prince!How could he still have an opinion?

He was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect Queen Lou to have such an arrangement, he thought that although his father and mother would abolish his elder brother, he might not have made up his mind yet.

But I don't know, the father, the queen, and the queen made up their minds so quickly, and the son will marry the granddaughter of the Qi State. In this way, no matter whether Wei Zhang is willing or not, he will definitely be branded as my Prince Jin's mansion in the future, and he will not be able to escape. ,

And for the sake of my granddaughter's happiness and the future of the Wei family, she will definitely serve me wholeheartedly.

So he suppressed the surprise in his heart and said: "The child only relies on the mother to make the decision. The mother is worried about Wei'er's marriage. The child can only be grateful, how can he not obey?"

Empress Dugu nodded, and Emperor Shao Wu did not object.

There is also a reason why Li Chen is so ecstatic. The six founders of the Great Wei Dynasty,
Liang Guogong Shen Pingnan, Wei Guogong Wei Shujiang, and Qi Guogong Wei Zhang, these three people have always been the party of the neutral emperor and empress, and they are the leaders of the emperor.

Song Guogong Song Zhenwen and South Korean Gong Han Yueqing are dead princelings. They invested a lot of money in Li Xian when Li Xian was the eldest son, and now most of the children of these two families work in the East Palace.

Zheng Linghe, Duke of Zheng, was neutral on the surface, but in fact he had secretly taken refuge with Li Chen, and could be regarded as a member of the Jin royal party.

Now Emperor Shaowu and Empress Lou let Li Chen's eldest son marry the eldest daughter of Duke Wei Zhang of Qi State. Then Duke Wei Zhang of Qi State would no longer be able to be neutral. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he would be regarded as a member of the Jin Dynasty by the outside world.

But thinking about it, Wei Zhang would be happy for his granddaughter to marry the future prince's eldest son.

Just when the two sages of the Wei Dynasty and the King of Jin were enjoying themselves, their father was kind and his son was filial,
Prince Li Xian held the crumpled note in his hand and was stunned. After experiencing fear, sadness, panic, and confusion, he finally strengthened his heart under the persuasion of his staff.

He is the crown prince of Great Wei, and he will definitely become the emperor of Great Wei. No one can take his seat away!

"Come here, quietly contact the Dukes of Han and Song, and..." Li Xian called the hidden guards and asked them to contact those staunch princelings. He couldn't sit still.

Seeing the hidden guards going out, Li Xian walked to the window and looked at the imperial palace in the distance, "Mingqing, Gu... I will definitely not let you die in vain."

Five days later, the Great Dynasty
The courtiers saw Li Chen standing in the first row wearing the prince's four-clawed golden dragon court uniform.
I saw that Emperor Shao Wu asked Li Chen to lead Shangshu Province Shangshu Lingcheng early this morning, and the "Chengshu Lingcheng" is the prime minister's prime minister, who participates in political affairs and is in charge of Shangshu Province.

With these official titles, Li Chen became the boss of Shangshu Province, one of the three provinces of the Great Wei Dynasty. He has the right to intervene in the implementation of six government orders, and his power has greatly increased...

The central authority of the Great Wei Dynasty is the three provinces and six ministries.
The three provinces refer to Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, which are responsible for the formulation, review and implementation of central government decrees and policies. Among them, the chief officials are all called Lingcheng, with an official rank of first rank, and their deputies are called left and right servants, from second rank.

Before Li Chen became Shangshu Province Lingcheng, the people who held the position of Lingcheng could only follow Sui Dao at the beginning of the founding of the country. Once his political power was stable, the position of Lingcheng gradually disappeared, and the left and right servants It became the de facto largest official position in the central government of Wei Dynasty.

However, today Li Chen has become the Minister of Provincial Affairs again, and Emperor Shaowu's intentions are clear!

And look at Li Chen's series of official positions and part-time jobs. Is this a position that a prince can hold?
After thinking for a while, Li Xian, who was still under confinement in the East Palace, immediately knew in his heart that maybe in the near future, they will change the prince.

And the original prince, who knew he would suddenly kill the East Palace without restraining his feet?Or should he be imprisoned under a high wall, or should he find a place far away and let him go?
They don't know.

After figuring this out, the following ministers have different thoughts - some people are happy, some people don't care at all, some people feel sad, some people feel ashamed, some people change their appearance, and some people want to give it a go...

Emperor Shao Wu tried his best to see the reaction of his ministers. His arrangement for Li Chen today was to convey his intention to change the prince.

He hoped that the courtiers under him could change their families after understanding his express instructions, and vote for the prospective prince Li Chen, and then use three to five years to slowly transfer the power and personnel originally held by Li Xian to Li Chen, so as to reduce Changing the prince's damage to the national power of Wei.

Emperor Shaowu did this with good intentions, but the people around Li Xian would do what he wanted, abandoning the power and relationship that had been with Li Xian for more than 20 years, or even more than 30 years, and happily investing in the new crown prince Li Xian. Is it that Chen can't even squeeze into the side?
And Li Chen, is he willing to spend three to five years waiting for the slow transition of power?

Emperor Shaowu opened his eyes wide to see the reaction of the ministers below. He wanted to know what other thoughts the ministers had about his obviously Yi Chu move.
