Chapter 336 Supporting Characters
Ever since the second dethronement of the crown prince, Prince An Rong Jinyou has stayed indoors, immersed in travelogues written by famous poets.
For more than a year, he watched the Qin Dynasty, which Rong Jinchen took over, prospering, the Single Whip Reform progressing in an orderly manner, and the efficiency of the civil and military officials in the court more than doubled compared to before.
Rong Jinyou was also relieved in his heart. If it were him, he would never be able to do what Achen did. Rong Jinyou knew very well that he was too gentle and kind-hearted and could easily be manipulated by his subjects.
He did not want to be the benevolent monarch his subjects described him as, but in reality allowed them to erode the foundations of the Qin Dynasty.
Rong Jinyou knew that as the former crown prince, letting him go out would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. There would always be people who would not give up and want him to fight again.
To be honest, he had no obsession with becoming the emperor. He was born a prince, and too many people pushed him forward. He had not thought about what would happen after the fight for the throne.
Rong Jinyou felt that things were actually pretty good now. His father treated him the same way he treated Achen before, and was trying hard to repair the father-son relationship that had been estranged between them for many years. He often went to Prince An's mansion to ask him to play chess with him.
Rather than the throne, Rong Jinyou wanted more love and affirmation from his father. He failed as the crown prince, so as a son, Rong Jinyou didn't want to fail again.
He knew that Achen was very good to him. After he ascended the throne, he clarified the procedures for ministers to handle official business, which instantly reduced the workload by half. So he wanted him to help handle government affairs because there was still a lot of work.
But Rong Jinyou also had to consider him. His identity as the former crown prince was too sensitive and he would cause trouble unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jinchen left the palace that day and threw a pile of memorials at him, "Second brother, you and I are brothers. If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust?"
Rong Jinyou was then scolded by Rong Yue in a sarcastic tone. After waking up from the scolding, he appeared to be handling government affairs obediently.
But he had secretly made up his mind that since Achen treated him very well, he should also consider him.
What's more, last year he was obsessed with travel notes and wanted to take his wife to travel all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of Daqin.
Rather than staying in the capital to handle government affairs and fuel the ambitions of those restless ministers, Rong Jinyou would rather leave the capital. He knew that Achen would definitely agree.
In the past, he held a high position in the government, and all he saw were the scenes that the aristocratic families were willing to show him.
Rong Jinyou also wanted to see in person the people that his father and Achen worked so hard for.
If possible, he also wanted a confidant. If he left the capital, maybe Luo Muxue would be willing to give him a chance?
Rong Jinyou had thought a lot in the past year. He also remembered the inadvertent loss on the part of his mother every time she saw his father going to other concubines' palaces. He had not made any promises to Luo Muxue, so how could he ask her to fall in love with him?
Fortunately, he still has a long life ahead of him. Maybe he will have the chance to live the life that Achen once lived?
Princess Chuyang's Mansion.
Luo Zhihan looked at the fifth princess Rong Ruoyan, no, it should be the fifth eldest princess Rong Ruoyan, and then looked at Anyuan Hou's wife Gu Hanyan, as well as Xu Siyu, the wife of Zhou Xi, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the second son of Qingyuan Hou, the two young ladies of the Su family, and Lu Jing, the eldest daughter-in-law of Lu Feng, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Because of this relationship, the relationship between them has become closer.
Apart from the Empress's in-laws and the Crown Prince's in-laws, their circle is one of the most core circles in the capital.
Who made His Majesty and the Queen have only the Crown Prince as their only child?
Moreover, the little prince has grown up to be what everyone in the Qin Dynasty had hoped for. He had a photographic memory after his education at the age of three, and could remember everything he saw and knew the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic. He started practicing martial arts at the age of five, and now at the age of seven, he is proficient in both civil and military affairs.
She looks very much like Your Majesty, but her personality is completely opposite to Your Majesty's, and she is very much like the Empress.
When the ministers were hit by His Majesty's cold face and ruthless words, they saw the little prince who was raised in His Majesty's arms smiling sweetly at them and comforting them in a soft voice. They were so eager to go through fire and water for the little prince.
Little Tangyuan was taught by Rong Jinchen to handle some simple court affairs when he was five years old. At the age of seven, he could analyze the memorials from officials from all over the country on his own.
Rong Jinchen was very satisfied. He would be able to retire in eleven years and travel around Daqin with Qingqing.
In the past four or five years, the Qin Dynasty had a strong army and a prosperous people. Rong Jinchen directly annexed the surrounding vassal states. In Su Zhenzhen's words, they came to educate the subjects of the vassal states and let them live a good life like the people of the Qin Dynasty.
The ministers also let His Majesty do what he wanted, and the generals were so impatient. They had been recuperating for a long time since they defeated the Huns ten years ago.
The civil officials wanted to say that this was not in line with the style of a great country, but the military generals directly retorted that they were clearly going to bring them hope, not to invade.
It is their honor to be the dogs of the Qin Dynasty. In the past, many people from the surrounding countries moved their families to the border of the Qin Dynasty, eager to become the dogs of the Qin Dynasty.
At this point, Luo Zhihan couldn't help but laugh, "The Queen is really a straightforward and extraordinary woman." She looked at everyone, and remembered her own foolish idea of trying to interfere in the relationship between His Majesty and the Queen when she first arrived in Daqin. She breathed a sigh of relief, and almost lost her skin.
"The Empress is a model mother to all women in the country, with a graceful demeanor. She is truly a role model for all women in the world." This was the voice of Lü Jing, the young wife of the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Doesn't she have a great fondness for the Empress? Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, it has been obvious that he has prioritized the promotion of ministers who respect their first wives and do not favor concubines over their wives, among those of similar ability.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the minister’s wife herself does not have bad character.
Two years later, everyone came to their senses and wondered why all those who were promoted were men with good family traditions and harmonious marital relationships?
After an imperial censor risked his life to make a remonstration, Rong Jinchen directly ordered the throwing away of the book on male virtues.
Men who follow the above will not be held accountable for their past mistakes, but if their abilities are equal, priority will be given to those who are upright and love their wives.
What could the civil and military officials in the court say? After all, since ancient times, cultivating oneself and managing the family and governing the country has always been the norm. His Majesty has never killed people for no reason, and he is also wise and powerful.
Besides, they should have expected it long ago. His Majesty cherishes the Queen so much and they are still in love after ten years of marriage. He will definitely appreciate a man who loves his wife.
Damn.
The road is narrowing.
Look at Zhou Xi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He became a third-rank official before he was thirty, and he took ten fewer detours than others.
No wonder His Majesty is more gracious to him than to other officials!
As soon as Lady Lu Jing, the young lady of the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, said this, everyone began to praise Su Zhenzhen, even though she was not there. Luo Zhihan smiled and joined in.
The smartest thing she did in her life was to cling to Empress Yuanxi. Compared to her lonely and helpless self in her previous life, in this life, her husband was devoted to her, she had both a son and a daughter, and they were in a high position of power. The childbearing system 54188 that she had used to pass the postgraduate entrance examination was also successfully upgraded to the Long Aotian system and was untied from her.
