Chapter 125 Where to Go
"He didn't say anything because he didn't want you to get involved in these things. Look at you, even though you weren't involved, you ended up like that. If those people knew about this, do you think you would still be alive today?"
Xia Yutong comforted him bit by bit.
They say that being a parent is not easy, being a father is not easy, etc.
Wen Li was finally comforted.
In fact, he didn't need any comfort, he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
After so many years of indifference and now deep affection, he just couldn't accept it for the time being.
The wedding leave lasts for ten days, and starting from the fourth day, the eldest prince began to appear in front of people.
Not only that, he took his princess to tour the imperial city.
Life is so carefree.
His previous playboy image was displayed in front of the public again.
It wasn't until the tenth day that he calmed down.
At night, after the two of them had exercise, Xia Yutong asked, "Are you going to the morning court tomorrow?"
Wen Li nodded and said, "Of course I have to go. If I don't go, won't he be the only one performing the show?" Since he wants to perform, I will accompany him.
After knowing that the second prince was not a legitimate royal heir, Wen Li's hostility towards him was greatly reduced.
But, he is an annoying mosquito and needs to be swatted.
The next day in the court.
Many people were happy to see Wen Li's appearance, but some also disliked him.
For example, people from the second prince's lineage.
After the emperor arrived, the ministers began the day's struggle.
When the people in the team saw their master coming, they were more excited than if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The right prime minister was the first to step forward and speak.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is now married. Shouldn't we arrange a place for him to live?" the right prime minister said directly.
There was no way, because his master got married before the second prince.
Emperor Ouyang glanced at Ouyang Li who was standing below and nodded as if he didn't care.
"Indeed, the second son's wedding is approaching, and it's time to arrange a place for them." In the past, they just attended court as spectators.
But it’s different now. Once you get married, you can directly get involved in political affairs.
He had actually wanted to arrange a place for Li'er to go a long time ago, but he had no excuse.
"My dear ministers, do you have any ideas?" In order to show that he did not take it seriously, Emperor Ouyang directly threw the decision-making power away.
In his eyes, Li'er can go anywhere.
But the ministers were different. When they heard what His Majesty said, they immediately had strange thoughts.
Those people, headed by the Left Prime Minister, immediately weighed the affairs of the six ministries.
Wherever the eldest prince goes, he will pose no threat to them.
As for those headed by the Right Prime Minister, what they were thinking about was how to gain the greatest benefits for their master, how to achieve great things and lay a solid foundation for competing for the position of crown prince in the future.
For a while, fighting broke out in the court.
The distribution of the Great Yan court was somewhat similar to that of the modern Qing Dynasty, with six ministries and other institutions.
For example, the destinations of princes and grandchildren of the emperor are mostly the six ministries.
The six departments are: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works.
The eldest prince must not be allowed to go to places like the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Justice. This is what the people headed by the Left Prime Minister think.
The right prime minister thought that it would be best to let the eldest prince go to the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Personnel.
They also knew that the Second Prince's family would definitely not let the First Prince go to a place of satisfaction so easily.
Adding to this the attitude of His Majesty, there was a great quarrel.
The second prince glanced up and saw that his father didn't seem to care at all about his eldest brother's whereabouts, so he kindly stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty."
His Majesty put down the teacup and looked at the Second Prince, his eyes full of affection.
It makes me feel sad.
"What's the matter, Chen'er?" the old father asked anxiously.
"I think that Big Brother is extremely talented, and he has also made contributions to disaster relief. Why not let him go to the Ministry of Revenue? With his understanding of the people's livelihood, he will definitely make great achievements."
He said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. He had already learned about the entire six departments through his mother's investigation.
The Ministry of Revenue is indeed important, but you must know that it has one major flaw, which is lack of money.
You have to know that most of the world's economy is controlled by the five major families, and the Ouyang family is a royal family, so they have very little business in their daily lives.
Or in other words, the four families excluded him.
So, even though the Ouyang family is a royal family, they are truly poor.
Not to mention the royal family.
When disasters occur in various places, the national treasury will spend money.
After so many years, I'm afraid...
He is not so kind.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The Left Prime Minister and others did not understand what the Second Prince meant at the moment, but some people in the Ministry of Revenue could understand the Second Prince's heart.
I immediately agreed below.
"The Second Prince is right. The First Prince has a deep connection with the people. I think the Second Prince's suggestion is very good." The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were very happy.
You know, the eldest prince's wife's dowry is quite large. If they complain about being poor, the eldest prince will have to...
The more I think about them, the happier I become.
Who in the Ministry of Revenue doesn’t love money?
Wen Li's mouth twitched because he really didn't want to join the Ministry of Households. It was a trap.
No one knows the situation of Dayan’s treasury better than him.
In one word, poor.
And he didn't think his second brother would be so kind as to give him such an important position.
You have to know that the Ministry of Revenue is the finance of a country. Even the emperor would not give up this power so easily.
He must not let his second brother succeed: "Your Majesty, I do not have the talent that the second prince mentioned, and I do not like financial matters. Please think twice." Haha.
After saying this, he glanced angrily at the second prince beside him.
Seeing him like this, the Second Prince had no room for refusal and immediately stepped forward.
"Brother, there is no need to be modest. Everyone can see your talents. The Ministry of Revenue will definitely allow you to show your talents. Maybe our national treasury will make more profits in the future." After saying this, the second prince laughed.
Haha, it’s such a big hole, I wonder how you are going to fill it.
Once you move someone, then...
The aristocratic families are not so easy to mess with.
Before the eldest prince could object, the emperor spoke.
"Well, Chen'er is right. I believe that the boss will definitely achieve results. I won't say a few more floors, but I will be satisfied if he can add three more floors." After saying that, the emperor laughed.
Seeing this, the ministers in the underground had no choice but to accept their fate and congratulate the eldest prince.
At one morning court session, not only the eldest prince but also the second prince was recognized.
It’s because the emperor said that the second prince is going to get married next month, so it would be better to arrange his place so that he doesn’t have to bring it up again in the court later.
It can be seen how partial the emperor is.
If Wen Li didn't know the inside story, he would have wanted to kill someone.
However, he did not speak, because he knew that the person above would not give the 'Second Prince' too much power.
Just as he expected.
In order to show his favor for the second prince, the emperor asked him to take over the Ministry of Rites and personally handle the marriage.
