Chapter 230 As long as my brothers are famous enough, I don’t have to work (1 update)

The little prince only went out of the East Palace to greet the second and third princes when they returned to Beijing, and then he stayed in the East Palace and didn’t go out.

He reduced his presence to the minimum.

Not only that, there were many rumors about the prince’s greed for disaster relief money. Now that the disaster relief has returned, the four northern prefectures have gradually returned to normal life.

The people in Beijing returned to their normal lives earlier. Of course, those rumors about the prince’s greed for disaster relief money have long disappeared.

However, when the second and third princes returned to Beijing, when all the civil and military officials praised them, the little prince added fuel to the fire among the people.

The second and third princes have suffered so much and endured so much punishment, this good reputation must be publicized!

Understanding the people's feelings and loving the people like one's own children, that is the ability to govern the country and maintain peace.

Originally, the disaster relief in the capital was mostly done by the two of them, so there was no need to spend much effort on such rumors. As long as they fanned the flames a little in the teahouses and wine shops, the grateful people would spread the rumor ten to ten, and ten to a hundred.

Since the third prince decided to give up the fight for the dangerous position of the crown prince, all his eight hundred minds have been used to guard against the crown prince.

As soon as he noticed all kinds of praises for him in the market, he immediately let people take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, weakened his own existence, and turned around to push all the credit onto the second prince.

There is no way, things have come to this point, and he can only die with his friends rather than the poor.

Second brother, second brother, you should bear this famous hardship alone!

However, the two of them were in charge of different states and counties respectively, and blindly pushing the credit would not be very effective. The third prince directly asked people to go to the teahouse to tell stories.

As for the content of the story, it was naturally the difficulties and dangers encountered by the second prince in disaster relief, and of course there were also the hardships of sleeping in the open air. It emphasized the wisdom and bravery of the second prince, and his concern for the people.

It was also about how he dealt with the local grain merchants tactfully and intelligently, and how he made decisions for the local people.

In a word, the second prince was a well-deserved wise and capable person!

For a time, the second prince's reputation among the people soared, and many ministers in the court were extremely satisfied with him.

Such a prince who can maintain peace and order when on horseback, and is both civil and military, that is the image of the crown prince they want!

Originally, as soon as the disaster relief was over, the second prince was given the title of King Lian. He was finally crowned a king, and the second prince was very satisfied.

Now his reputation has also risen among the people. The second prince is like a chicken with blood. Whether it is the government affairs in the court or the teaching of chemistry, he is full of energy.

The little prince saw it and began to help the students. Isn’t this a good reputation? The more the better!

This year, the second prince’s reputation has risen rapidly, and he has been in great glory for a while.

Of course, the second prince is so famous that once there is any difficult matter in the court, the court officials will naturally think of him first.

With such a capable second brother, the prince had a lot of free time.

He only needed to concentrate on making money to support the ten orphanages.

However, his storehouse was full. The two shops made a lot of money every day, and there was also income from other workshops. In addition, the huge investment stage in the early stage of the orphanages had passed, and the remaining expenses were for daily maintenance, which did not require so much money.

There were still several boxes of silver piled up in his storehouse.

The little prince, who had money and free time, was a happy bird. Every day he either petted panda cubs or big black cats. He even took his two pets to the imperial manor in the suburbs of Beijing to soak in the hot springs while no one was paying attention.

His life was so comfortable.

Sure enough, this was the life he should live.

A position that requires him to deal with official duties all day long, with his butt as if it grew on the chair and he cannot leave until midnight, is really not suitable for him.

Compared with the leisurely little prince, the second prince is extremely busy.

Not only does he have to teach chemistry to the students of the Imperial Academy, but he also has to participate in the daily teaching and management of the Imperial Academy. In today's terms, he is the president

of a university. Perhaps because he has been obsessed with chemistry, the second prince pays special attention to miscellaneous subjects such as mathematics. Originally, this was a subject that everyone only learned a little bit in the Imperial Academy, but with the participation of the second prince, mathematics has to be taken seriously.

Of course, this requires fighting with many old-fashioned and pedantic people.

The second prince now has the throne, and his reputation is the highest among the seven princes. Under the flattery of everyone, especially the little prince, the second prince is very energetic every day.

This is his daily schedule.

Teaching, fighting with old pedants.

Promoting mathematics, fighting with old pedants.

Researching chemistry, being ordered around by the Fourth Prince.

Even so, he could still find time to go to the Ministry of Personnel to fight, challenging the rules of the Ministry of Rites, and trying to get a chance for the students of the Imperial College who were good at various miscellaneous subjects to take the unified examination for the ninth-rank clerk.

You know, this is shaking the imperial examination system that has been in place in Daliang since ancient times.

In order to appoint officials in Daliang, one must participate in the imperial examination. If you want to be an official, you must be a clerk at least.

Even if it is a lowly clerk, it must be appointed by the Ministry of Personnel.

Many of these clerks can be bought with money.

And the Second Prince did such a thing, directly taking the exam and admitting them, which affected more than one person's cake.

The difficulty involved can be imagined.

Even though the Second Prince had some supporters behind him, it was still quite difficult for him to handle this matter.

Looking at the second prince who was getting thinner day by day, the third prince could not help but persuade him, "Second brother, what you are going to do is unprecedented and must be difficult. Why do you insist on it?"

The second prince smiled and shook his head, "It is because it is unprecedented that I want to do it! I have been in the court for many years and I know too well the officials in the court, as well as the customs of the three provinces and six ministries."

"It is said that aristocratic families are permanent, but dynasties are changing. There are too few ministers in the court who come from humble families."

"Ministers come from aristocratic families. In many things and many times, they naturally have to safeguard the interests of their families. However, as officials, they should put the people, the world, and the people's livelihood first!"

"I only had some vague ideas before, but after this disaster relief, I thoroughly understood how important a capable and good official is to the people!"

The third prince sighed, "I am not advising you not to do it, but you have to do it within your ability! Look how thin you have become recently?"

The second prince's eyes were sparkling, and he was full of energy, "Don't worry, third brother, I have wanted to change this situation for a long time, but I have no good ideas."

"I was fortunate to receive the guidance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, which made me suddenly enlightened. Now that I have a good idea, I will naturally implement it! It is worth it for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think about it for many days and help me think of a solution!"

At this point, the second prince's words were full of admiration.

The third prince's mouth twitched, he knew it!

How could the second brother suddenly become so diligent?

There is indeed the work of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

He looked at this silly brother with sympathy, isn't the Crown Prince obviously letting you do the work?

The third prince hinted, "Don't you find anything wrong here?"
