After rebirth, I became the favorite of my scumbag brother

After the eldest prince and others discussed their merits and rewarded them, the eldest prince directly entered the Ministry of War. However, what is puzzling is that the other two princes also entered the six departments.

The second prince Chu Han entered the Ministry of Industry, and the third prince Chu Yu entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. Except for the younger fifth prince and seventh prince, the three princes each entered the Ministry of Industry at the same time.

The emperor's move actually made the ministers below a little confused, and they were a little unbelievable about his arrangement.

The eldest prince has many military exploits, so logically he should not join the Ministry of War. Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of War is the current uncle and the leader of the mother clan of the third prince. Even if the eldest prince has military achievements, he will not have an easy life when he joins the Ministry of War.

The second prince's mother's family is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but he joined the Ministry of Industry. If he regained the Ministry of Industry, it would be equivalent to controlling the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Justice. However, although the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was a royalist on the surface, he was actually on the same side as the Queen. There is involvement.

The third prince's maternal clan is powerful, but he has joined the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although Su Qingyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has not taken sides at the moment, many people have heard the rumors about the third girl and the third prince of the Su family.

Many people believed that the emperor deliberately let the eldest and second princes get involved with each other. It was very likely that the person he was interested in was the third prince.

Comparing the situations of the three princes, the eldest prince is the most difficult. He has military merit, but he has joined the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War is the brother of the current queen and the third prince's direct uncle.

When the eldest prince joined the Ministry of War, he and the Minister of War were actually restrained from each other, or in other words, the minister of war was allowed to involve the eldest prince.

Compared with the maternal clan of the eldest prince and the maternal clan of the second and third princes, there is actually a certain gap.

The second prince Chu Han's mother-concubine, Shu Fei, was an old man when the emperor was in hiding. She was from the Liu family, a noble family. The second prince's maternal grandfather was Liu Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment at that time.

The third prince, Chu Yu, is the descendant of his successor, who was born in Jingbei Marquis Mansion. His uncle is Jingbei Marquis Xiao Qin, who is currently the Minister of War.

The eldest prince was the daughter of the late empress, who came from the Shen family, a scholarly family, and was the direct eldest sister of Shen Shuyu, the imperial concubine at the Imperial Academy. The late empress and the current majesty were married by the late emperor.

Now His Majesty doesn't care much about the late Queen, because at that time the Shen family's status was not prominent and it was not of much help to him. She was not the person he really wanted to marry.

However, the imperial decree granted him a marriage, so he had no choice but to marry the late empress. After the eldest prince was born, he was named Chu Mo, Mo Tong Mo, which means Wei Mo.

It can be seen from the name that the eldest prince is not favored by His Majesty. The second prince was born only after the eldest prince was born.

Later, His Majesty ascended the throne, Empress Shen died of illness, and then took over the Central Palace, and the third prince was born.

The names of several princes were given by His Majesty himself. Compared with the names of the other princes, the name of the eldest prince is a little less meaningful.

Putting aside the Fifth Emperor and the Seventh Prince, the eldest prince is indeed far behind the other two.

The eldest prince went to the north when he was fourteen years old and stayed at the border for ten years. He was still young when he went there. Now that ten years have passed, he really has no influence or connections in the capital.

In addition to his military exploits, the eldest prince only had a few connections in the capital like the Shen family of the Imperial Academy.

The eldest son of the Shen family joined the Imperial Academy, and the second son was neither good at reading nor an official. In addition to having fun with his buddies, he also ran some businesses every day.

The old man of the Shen family had resigned many years ago, and the Shen family had almost no real power.

The only advantage the eldest prince has is that he has good prestige and reputation among the people. He has no advantages in other aspects.

But what was unexpected was that the eldest prince had no objections to the emperor's arrangement and readily agreed. This was a bit unexpected.

The second prince joined the Ministry of Industry, and he had some doubts that the Minister of Industry was from the third prince's side, because the daughter of the Minister of Industry, Concubine Rou, had always been on the same side as the queen in the palace.

Concubine Rou does not have a prince, but only a princess, so it is very likely that she is from the queen's side, and it does not rule out that the Yao family is the third prince.

However, Yao Shangshu has not yet had any clues about joining the third prince. At least he still has a chance, unlike the eldest brother, who directly entered the territory of the uncle.

So the second prince was very happy. Although he was a little resentful of his father's favoritism, compared with the eldest prince, he was still much better off.

Not to mention how happy the third prince was when he learned that he was about to join the household department. He had already been in contact with the Su family, and the third girl of the Su family had a deep love for him.

In this way, wouldn’t he be able to get closer to the water and get the moon first?

After this arrangement, only the third prince was truly satisfied, not to mention how happy he was.

After that day, the eldest prince directly joined the Ministry of War on duty, and as expected suffered a lot of difficulties.

Li Ziyu received the news from Zhuangzi, and he just raised his eyebrows at the emperor's arrangement.

Su Lanxin also received the news. After she got the news, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, when the eldest prince entered the capital, the layout of the capital changed. Although the situation was not good for the eldest prince, it had also changed, right?

In the Li family, Li Yunyi has already been elected and does not need to participate in the autumn ceremony. However, Mrs. Yao has hired a famous teacher to come to the house for guidance, but Li Yunqian, Li Zijin and Li Ziyao have to participate.

Mrs. Yao was too busy to keep her feet off the ground for her two sons.

Just when the eldest prince returned to the capital and several princes entered various ministries one after another, a group of people in the capital were purchasing grain in a low-key manner.

Some people are buying new rice and some old rice, some are coarse grains and some are fine grains, and some people are buying commonly used medicinal materials.

Not only around the capital, Jiangnan has the most acquisitions, and there are also people in several states adjacent to Jiangnan who are doing the same thing.

In Yunzhou, Xiao Hengzhi has been busy buying food and collecting medicinal materials since he returned to Yunzhou from the capital.

Although he was confused as to why he had to prepare these things, it was because the man said that she was of great use and that this was the key to his return to the capital in an open and honest manner.

If it weren't for returning to Beijing, Xiao Hengzhi would not have to work as a coolie for her and do such inexplicable things.

Xiao Hengzhi led people to count the medicinal materials, and then dragged his tired body back to his residence.

At the same time, because the ancestral home of the Su family is in Zhuozhou, several younger generations of the Su family left Beijing early.

Su Lanxin knew all these things just after reading them.

After the autumn period, as the results were released in various places, time slowly passed.

Those who returned to Beijing with Su Lanxin had already left in batches, but on the way back they not only left separately, but also followed the caravan.

Although they didn't attract much attention, because of this appearance, many people began to secretly investigate them.

Even the eldest prince was particularly curious, so he sent people to investigate, but they were unable to find any clues. With Yunxiao Pavilion mopping up and staring at the movements everywhere, Bai Heng and others left without attracting any attention.

More than two months later, Li Ziyu's injury has almost healed, and the weather is getting colder and colder. With winter approaching, Su Lanxin has something on her mind, so she occasionally loses focus.

Li Ziyu saw that the weather was getting colder and colder, so he hesitated whether to return to Beijing.
