Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 571 of the main volume of Ruyi Little Man: No, I think so! Even Fang Hong himself had thought about this problem. When Fang Shufei said these words, he did not look very shocked. After thinking about it, he said: "Yuan'er is too young. Neither your majesty nor the courtiers will do it." Agree with him to take part in the heir apparent."

"Being young is an advantage, not a disadvantage." Fang Zhe said: "Now that your Majesty is in good health, Yuan'er has enough time to grow up. He will eventually grow up, and your Majesty will always grow old."

Fang Hong has been in official circles for many years, so he can naturally see this.

Your Majesty, who is in his prime, actually has an antagonistic relationship with King Kang and King Duan. King Kang and King Duan want to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, so why doesn't Your Majesty not want to occupy this position forever?

There is only one emperor. Your Majesty is an obstacle to the ascension of the two kings Kang Duan. The two kings are also a threat to your majesty...

The young King Run cannot pose such a threat to His Majesty. To some extent, he has an advantage over King Kang Duan.

As for the power behind it, the Fang family has no rivals in Beijing.

Concubine Fang Shu looked at Fang Hong and said, "For Yuan'er and the Fang family, eldest brother must prepare for these things in advance."

Fang Hong nodded and said, "I understand."

After speaking, he looked at Concubine Fang Shu again and said in surprise: "Why does Yuan'er suddenly want to be the emperor?"

"This is not important." Fang Shufei looked at him and asked, "The result is more important than the process, isn't it?"

…

After Concubine Fang Shu left the Fang family, Fang Hong poured a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and sighed: "In order to fight for the throne, Prince Duan and Prince Kang have come and gone, and will not allow others to interfere. Trying to fight with them is tantamount to a tiger's mouth. Seize food."

Fang Zhe stood beside him and said calmly: "I'm afraid we are going to fight with more than just King Duan and King Kang."

Fang Hong looked at him and asked, "What does this mean?"

"I can't see through King Huai." Fang Zhe crossed his arms, shook his head, and said: "How can a person with no scheming and no identity background become the only one who has stayed in the country besides King Duan and King Kang? He is not the only adult prince of the capital and His Majesty’s adult prince..."

"Even Yuan'er staying in the capital is in danger, how could he not realize it?" Fang Zhe said to himself, then smiled and said, "It's a bit interesting..."

"Whether King Huai is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, there is only one way for Yuan'er to go, and there is only one way for the Fang family to go." Fang Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you want to seize the direct descendants, one person will be the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the other will be the minister of the household department. Minister, that’s not enough…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp and thin voice suddenly came from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived. Fang Hong, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will receive it!"

Fang Hong was startled, and the next moment he walked out quickly. He saw two eunuchs standing in the courtyard, one of them holding an imperial edict in his hand and looking at him with a smile.

There was a trace of suspicion in Fang Hong's eyes, but he still took two steps forward, adjusted his clothes, knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "I accept the order."

…

Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel took over the position of Prime Minister Feng, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel became vacant.

In addition to the prime minister, the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Hubu are considered to be the two most powerful positions in the court. Countless pairs of eyes are fixed on the Ministry of Personnel, including King Kang and King Duan, the two princes who have taken the throne. .

There are two ministers in the Ministry of Personnel. Sun Qian, the right assistant minister, has just taken office. It is impossible for him to be promoted to minister in such a short time. Although Fang Hong has been in the Ministry of Personnel for a long time, his qualifications are still a little behind. Several other officials in the court were barely qualified for this position.

However, not long after everyone's eyes were fixed on this seat, the results came out from the palace.

After Zhou Shangshu left, Fang Hong, the former Minister of Personnel, took his place and became the new Minister of Personnel.

Zhou Shangshu could not sit in the position of right minister for long, but Fang Hong was different. As long as he became Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, it would be difficult for him to step down again.

From the minister to the minister, it seems that it is only one step from the second-in-command to the first-in-command, but the power of the minister and the minister are completely different.

This means that the Ministry of Secretaries and Officials is completely in the hands of the Fang family.

Of course, others would not envy Fang Hong's good fortune. Concubine Fang Shu was the beloved of the Holy One, and the Fang family was full of talented people, so the Holy Family was naturally strong.

There are also people who feel sorry for the Fang family. The Fang family has such power, but King Run is too young. If King Run is a few years older, he can participate in the fight for the heir. When the time comes, the Fang family only needs to raise their arms and there will be countless supporters. Successors come one after another, and what happened to King Kang and King Duan...

With such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, others were given an advantage. King Kang and King Duan did not do anything. To them, it was not important whether this position belonged to their own people, but it was not important to the other party's talents. It was better to take advantage of King Run than to take advantage of others. Good luck to the other party. After all, King Run will not compete with them for the throne...

…

Royal Palace, Shuxiu Palace.

Concubine Fang Shu looked at Emperor Chen and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Although my eldest brother has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for many years, he is still far from the position of Minister. In this way, I wonder what other ministers in the court will think... …”

"They can think whatever they want." Emperor Chen looked at her and said, "I always only look at ability, not qualifications. Looking at the court, there is no one more suitable for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs than him. I If they hadn't decided so early, wouldn't the two of them have fought to the death again and turned the court into a mess... This Minister of the Ministry of Personnel should be regarded as a gift from me. "

At this point, Concubine Fang Shu couldn't say anything more, so she could only bow and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as Chen Huang was about to speak, a young eunuch walked in from outside the door and whispered: "Your Majesty, we are here."

Emperor Chen looked at Concubine Fang Shu and said, "You wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."

He left Shuxiu Palace and came to the imperial study room. There was already a person waiting in the palace.

When the Captain of the Sharp Blade team saw Emperor Chen coming in, he immediately saluted and said, "See your Majesty."

"No courtesy." Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "I have something I want you to do."

The squad leader cupped his fists and said, "Please give me your Majesty's orders!"

Huang Chen took out a letter and handed it to him, saying, "Go to Jiangnan again and deliver this letter to Tang Ning personally."

The squad leader said: "Follow your orders!"

Emperor Chen nodded and added, "When he sends people back, he should be quieter and don't make any noise..."

After the team leader left, Chen Huang turned around and found Wei Jian standing behind him, looking at him.

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Do you think I love money very much, and as an emperor, I am a bit too stingy?"

Wei Jian nodded and said: "Your Majesty loves talents, otherwise he would not have entrusted the young Lord Tang with important tasks, let alone let Lord Fang sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Chen Huang corrected him: "I'm talking about money and wealth."

Wei Jian thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty takes this money from the world and uses it for the world. How can you say you love money?"

Emperor Chen looked at him for a long time and then said: "If Prime Minister Feng could be like you, he would be a Taifu now..."

…

In Shuxiu Palace, Concubine Shu did not wait for Emperor Chen to come, but she waited for Prince Run first.

Concubine Shu dismissed the people around her and ordered Du Juan to guard the door. Then she looked at him and asked, "Does Yuan'er still remember what he said to his mother and concubine two days ago?"

Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully: "What are you talking about?"

Concubine Shu looked at him and asked, "Does Yuan'er still want to be the emperor?"

Since you can marry the Wang family's sister, the Bai family's sister, and the Zhang family's sister without being an emperor, then what's the point of being an emperor? Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "No..."

Concubine Shu covered his mouth and said, "No, you want to."

Concubine Fang Shu looked into Zhao Yuan's eyes and said seriously: "Yuan'er, you are twelve years old. You should know some things."

Zhao Yuan said with a bitter face: "But mother-in-law, I really don't want to be an emperor. When I am an emperor, I have to be like my father. My father gets up at midnight. I can't get up in the morning..."

"If you are not the emperor, you cannot marry the Wang family's sister, the Bai family's sister, the Zhang family's sister. Do you really not want to be the emperor?"

Zhao Yuan looked at her and said firmly: "No, I think so."
