Chapter 473 Chang Qiu Luan 16
"Let Liu'er take over Lao Si's position? Are you sure?"
The first time Chang Qiuluan felt confused, the Jinyiwei was a pit of fire. The Prince of Yan was able to escape unscathed because he had the golden body of the emperor's legitimate son in his hand.
What about Liu'er? He was just the eldest son of Duke Chang Yuchun of E and the younger brother of the Crown Princess. At most, he was a relative. Did Old Zhu really care about his relatives?
Why, the Chang and Lan families have been so well behaved for so many years, and yet the emperor is still worried? He has to fill her with another brother?
"Don't worry. Father and I both believe that the position of Jinyiwei Commander should be filled by someone who hates evil and is upright. He shouldn't be afraid of offending others, nor should he be too flattering to those above him. He must have his own principles and bottom line."
And Chang Rong, also known as Liu'er, just perfectly meets the needs of the emperor and the prince at this time.
As a child, Liu'er had a fiery temper, even ignoring his father's demands when he got angry, a true demon. Fortunately, the Chang family's years of hard work paid off, and Liu'er's unwavering character remains undiminished. He is a loyal, patriotic child, and a discerning judge of right and wrong. Born with a powerful and robust figure and skilled in martial arts, he has always been a favorite of the Emperor.
With his background and strength, he is capable of securing the position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and can also reassure the emperor and the prince.
But... now they are satisfied, so Chang Rong can do these things naturally. But what if one day they are not satisfied?
Chang Qiuluan knew very well that most of the leaders of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei had a bad ending.
"Don't worry, Dad has high hopes for Liu'er. Besides, I'm watching over you." Zhu Biao's comforting words only made his wife roll her eyes.
He spoke as if you could save Chang Rong if the emperor really wanted to kill him. Chang Qiuluan guessed that when that day came, the only thing the prince could do was to help Chang Rong get a decent, intact body.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has full power in other matters, but the only thing he cannot stop is his father from killing people.
But now that things have come to this, the emperor has probably already made up his mind, and the Chang family has no right to refuse. In that case, then just accept it.
"Tomorrow, when the official appointment document comes down, call Chang Rong over. I have something to tell him."
Zhu Biao smiled upon hearing this and said, "We are in tune with each other. I was planning to ask him to come to the East Palace at that time. If you have anything to say, just come to the study to find us."
This imperial edict took three months to get. First, Zhu Di was ordered to resign and go to the vassal state, and then Chang Rong was appointed as the new commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Chang Qiuluan was not in a hurry to see his brother, but first summoned Miaoyun to the palace to take her pulse carefully.
"This one is a little big. You have to pay attention to your diet from tomorrow on. If you have nothing to do, let the fourth child accompany you for a walk. Otherwise, you will suffer during the birth."
Perhaps it was because her husband had been doing the dirty and tiring work that offended people in the past two years, and Miaoyun's foundation had been greatly depleted after giving birth to Gao Chi, which caused her to fall seriously ill just now.
Fortunately, she's recovered now, but she's still a little weak, so this pregnancy was extra difficult. Miaoyun was afraid of hurting the child, so she over-supplemented her.
"I think you should wait until she gives birth safely before taking Gao Chi to Peking."
Xu Miaoyun touched her round belly. She had originally thought that since Gao Chi was three years old, they could all go together, but who knew she was pregnant now? After all, the child was more important. After all, her father was watching over her in Peking.
Seeing Miaoyun nod, Qiu Luan's smile became more genuine. She liked good patients who listened to the doctor's advice.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned Master Chang to the palace and asked if you would like to meet him."
That's a coincidence.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Of course I will meet you."
See if the brat has improved in his response, and tighten the strings for him at the same time.
"Big sister!"
As Chang Qiuluan entered the hall, the young man, who had been sitting there drinking tea with a majestic presence, immediately stood up. His bright eyes were filled with joy, instantly dispelling the oppressive feeling brought by his ferocious features.
"Hmm...just now he looked like a feared Jinyiwei commander, but now he's exposed again."
Qiu Luan gestured for his brother to sit across from him. Chang Rong sat down and said with a smile, "From now on, when I'm out in the world, I'll naturally be the ferocious leader of the Jinyiwei. But at home, in front of my eldest sister, I'll always be just Liu'er."
"Have you also said this to Father and the Crown Prince?"
"Hehe," Chang Rong scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "That's about right. The emperor asked me to take care of this because he is worried about our family."
"That being said, you must always keep a clear distinction between public and private matters. The Emperor and the Crown Prince can discuss family matters with you, but you can't bring it up on your own initiative. Furthermore, this is a job that offends people. Although my Chang family is known for being loyal and trusted, it's not necessarily infallible. You should know this just by reading history books."
"Yes, brother, I understand. The prince has explained all these in detail. Don't worry, sister. I will act with caution and not give anyone any reason to criticize me."
Chang Rong just has a bad temper but he is not a fool. In fact, it is quite the opposite. He has been in the main hall and the imperial court for so many years, and has become a stranger to all the princes. He has no affection but also no hatred.
"Okay, you're grown up now, and you know how to think about your words and actions. I won't say much. I called you here this time mainly to ask about your marriage. It's been delayed for so many years, and it's time for you to get married. Otherwise, when you go on duty in the future, others will have hot meals to eat when they return home, but you will be alone and it will be embarrassing."
Chang Rong's marriage had been planned two years ago, but the situation in the court was complicated at that time. As the eldest son, Chang Rong would inherit the title of Duke in the future, so his wife's status could not be too low, but also not too high.
In the past, the family had taken a fancy to Lan Yu's eldest daughter, and they could strengthen the relationship between the two families without having to worry about the emperor being upset.
But Chang Qiuluan refused on the grounds that bone blood should not flow back.
Xu Da's second daughter, Xu Miaojing, was also good, but she had the temperament of a warlord and her intelligence was too obvious.
As a result, it has been delayed until now.
