Zhao Mingzhu was still a little reluctant.
The main thing is that once he goes, no matter what the result is, Zhao Lin will be disappointed and will be completely pushed away.
Zhao Mingzhu was still planning to let Zhao Lin return to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
"In that case, if there is someone better than Miss Fu, why do we have to look for her?"
Zhao Mingzhu patiently advised, "For example, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo is very much loved by him, and his eldest son is the Governor of the Nine Gates. If you can marry into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, if something happens in the future, the position of Governor of the Nine Gates will be very important and will be of great benefit to you."
The Nine-Gates Commander-in-Chief, whose full name is the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine-Gates Infantry Patrol and Five Battalions, is responsible for guarding the nine gates of the inner city and the seven gates of the outer city of the capital, and is in charge of the defense and public security of the capital, such as inspecting the city gates, arresting thieves, banning night patrols, etc. He also undertakes some duties such as fire protection and street management.
It doesn’t matter whether the status is high or not, but it is absolutely crucial.
What Zhao Mingzhu was talking about was the fight for the throne. If a war really came to light, the Nine Gates Admiral would be able to decide the outcome.
Therefore, no matter whether it was the Crown Prince, Prince Yu, or the Empress Dowager, or anyone else who was interested in ascending the throne, they were all being tried to win him over.
However, those who can sit in this position are all the emperor's trusted ministers, who are not much worse than Li Xingye, and so far no one has been won over.
Once Zhao Chenhan marries the youngest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, the Governor of the Nine Gates will be his brother-in-law, and his role can be imagined.
Although the party represented by Fu Chengwang is powerful, it may not be as influential as the Nine Gates Governor in the fight for the throne.
So in order to divert Zhao Chenhan's attention from Fu Liqing, Zhao Mingzhu simply used this to seduce Zhao Chenhan.
Anyway, once it is accomplished, it will be of great benefit to both the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Yuwang Mansion.
Zhao Chenhan insisted, "I'm only interested in Miss Fu."
Zhao Mingzhu frowned slightly.
She didn't expect Zhao Chenhan to be so stubborn.
Zhao Mingzhu wanted to use Fu Liqing and Zhao Lin's relationship to persuade him, but she was afraid of hurting Zhao Chenhan, so she could only say tactfully, "Once it's done, the Bai family will never let it go. This is the marriage that Bai Shiyuan was looking for for his brother, and we ruined it. He will definitely target you. He is now a favorite of His Majesty, and it will be detrimental to your career."
Zhao Chenhan said proudly, "I'm not afraid of him. He's only a few years older than me. If we were the same age, it wouldn't be his turn to be the top scholar."
Zhao Mingzhu was speechless and could only delay, "I have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and discuss it with my mother first."
Zhao Chenhan was a little dissatisfied.
But I also know not to appear too anxious.
He was just about to go back and chat with Han Yuehua.
"What do you want to discuss?"
Prince Yu Li Jingzhong came in.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "The young master of the Bai family has been involved in a scandal. Fu Chengwang wants to break off the engagement, and Chen Han wants me to propose marriage on his behalf."
Li Jingzhong's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing, just go, why do we need to discuss it with my mother-in-law?"
Zhao Mingzhu knew her husband only had eyes for the throne and would do anything to benefit him. She said tactfully, "I don't think it's appropriate for us to confront the Bai family head-on right now. The Duke of Wei's youngest daughter is only 28, the same age as Chen Han. Moreover, the Duke of Wei's eldest son is the governor of the Nine Gates, perfect for assisting His Majesty in achieving great things."
After Zhao Mingzhu said this, Li Jingzhong hesitated.
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "It's not that I don't want to, but our family's status is already special. If we marry the Duke of Wei, I'm afraid the Emperor will have some ideas, and then it will ruin the prince's plan."
Li Jingzhong nodded. "Chen Han is right. Father kept me in Beijing to balance the Crown Prince. If I overdo it, Father will be wary of me, which would be more of a disaster than a blessing. In this case, Fu Chengwang, a neutral person, is more suitable. Mingzhu, go and meet Madam Fu."
Zhao Mingzhu hesitated and said, "Fu Chengwang even rejected my father, so I'm afraid he won't agree."
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "The past is the past. As long as you show him my work records, he will definitely change his mind."
Li Jingzhong nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen Chen Han's record. It is very good and can impress Fu Chengwang."
"All right."
Zhao Mingzhu had no choice but to agree.
"I hope Zhao Lin won't blame us." Zhao Mingzhu sighed.
Zhao Mingzhu came to the Fu Mansion and met Fu Chengwang's wife. After telling her what happened, Mrs. Fu did not dare to make a decision and quickly called Fu Chengwang.
"Is Princess Yu so free?"
Fu Chengwang was very dissatisfied when he saw Zhao Mingzhu coming in person to propose marriage to Zhao Chenhan.
Zhao Mingzhu smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for laughing. I came here this time because I have something to show you."
"What?" Fu Chengwang remained noncommittal.
Zhao Mingzhu took out Zhao Chenhan's work records and said, "This is the record Chenhan made when he went to Qingzhou on business a few years ago. Your Excellency, please take a look and give me some advice."
"Put it down. I'll take a look at it when I have time." Fu Chengwang said.
Zhao Mingzhu put down the errand record and said, "Please read it now, sir."
The tone left no room for doubt.
Zhao Mingzhu was also a little angry.
Her father is a marquis and her husband is a prince, so coming here in person is giving Fu Chengwang a great honor.
Fu Chengwang is still so arrogant. Doesn't he take the royal family seriously?
Mrs. Fu quickly winked at Fu Chengwang.
Fu Chengwang said calmly, "Well, since Princess Yu has spoken, I will see now."
Fu Chengwang picked up the work record, read only two pages, and then let out a light exclamation, his expression becoming serious.
Zhao Mingzhu was slightly pleased.
Zhao Chenhan is a talent carefully cultivated by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Before Zhao Lin was found, he was trained as the heir.
Well, now I am the heir.
No matter what, Zhao Chenhan's ability is excellent.
Zhao Mingzhu and other sisters also believed it.
So before, Zhao Mingyue, Zhao Mingxiao and others knew that Zhao Lin was his biological brother, but they still favored Zhao Chenhan and suppressed Zhao Lin.
The reason is that they look down on Zhao Lin and want the more outstanding Zhao Chenhan to take over the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and provide them with support.
"Unfortunately, if Fu Chengwang falls for Chen Han, Zhao Lin will be disappointed."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can only make up for it later."
Zhao Mingzhu thought secretly.
Between the relationship between siblings and Prince Yu's great cause, she naturally knew which one to choose.
Besides, the relationship between Zhao Lin and her was not as deep as that between Zhao Chenhan and her.
Fifteen years of getting along is always deeper than the three or four years I spent with Zhao Lin.
"good!"
Fu Chengwang read a few pages and exclaimed in praise, which actually scared Zhao Mingzhu.
Zhao Mingzhu was secretly delighted, and quickly calmed her expression. She smiled and said, "Master, have you figured out the good news?"
Fu Chengwang nodded and said, "Not bad. He acts in an orderly manner, without being arrogant or impatient, and he is compassionate to the people. Not bad, very good."
Fu Chengwang rarely praises people like this.
Zhao Mingzhu was even happier: "It seems that my younger brother has caught the adults' eye."
"Whether to enter or not needs to be discussed in person."
Fu Chengwang flipped through the errand records and said, "Let him come to my place."
