Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

"Yes!" Old Master Yuan nodded. "That's right. This time, even though Qingshui County is dangerous, I will let the fourth brother go. I hope Zhener can seize this rare opportunity to work with Zhou Jin."

"With Zhou Jin's ability, he will definitely be able to make achievements. Zhen'er is arrogant, but if he meets someone stronger than him, he will admit defeat. Zhou Jin is one of the people who convinced him."

The eldest master of the Yuan family smiled and said, "Father is wise, but I am not as good as him. Changning Marquis Zhou Ze is worse than me, and I am convinced. I have reached the top as an assistant minister."

"On the contrary, my second brother is better than me. Most of the family resources are used on me, and less on my second and third brothers. However, my second brother can still do well under such circumstances and was chosen by His Majesty to support Zhou Jin. It can be seen that he has a bright future."

Hearing this, Mr. Yuan was stunned, "Can you really figure it out? Don't you want to go further?"

The eldest uncle of the Yuan family shook his head. "Father, it's not that I am discouraged, but I have a hard time dealing with that bunch of old foxes. I also hope to be like the Marquis of Changning, calm and at ease, but I am not capable of it."

"It's not that I don't have great ambitions, but I know myself better. I have to wear a hat that fits my head. Being a third-rank minister is already my limit. If I get any higher, I may not be able to handle it, and it may bring disaster to my family."

"If you can make further progress, I will step back and let you take the lead. If you can really become a minister or a prime minister, it will be an honor for our Yuan family and continue the glory of the Yuan family's scholarly family. After all, having five Jinshi in one family is not a false reputation."

Old Master Yuan's eyes showed surprise. It was so rare for his eldest son to have such self-awareness.

"Okay, I'm glad you can do this. Since you think it's too hard and don't want to move up, then don't try to gain advantages and just do your own thing. Spend more time on your own children. Next spring, I'll try to get Changyun to win the first place in the imperial examination and get him into high school."

The eldest uncle of the Yuan family smiled and said, "Father is right. No matter how well you do in the court, you are working for others. You still have to pay attention to your own children's studies. Our family has a long tradition of poetry and etiquette. If you can't study and pass the imperial examination, everything will be in vain."

Old Master Yuan smiled and said, "You are not wrong to say that, but it is too one-sided. The chores of the family are handled by the fifth son. Although he did not pass the imperial examination, he earns a lot of money for the family every year, so you don't have to worry about money."

The eldest uncle of the Yuan family nodded and said, "Father, that's right. The fifth brother is about the same age as the fourth brother. He failed to study and managed the family affairs. The family has been spending a lot in recent years, and we can still guarantee such expenses. The fifth brother also deserves credit."

"The eldest child of my fifth brother is five years old now. It's time for him to start learning, together with the boy in my family. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you teach one or two."

Old Master Yuan was very satisfied. "Okay, I will leave the Yuan family to you in the future, and I can rest assured. Although the Yuan family is large, we must unite and work together as brothers to get better and better. Otherwise, trouble will arise within the family, and it will not be long before it falls apart."

"Yes, father." Uncle Yuan agreed.

Mr. Wang was very happy to receive Wang Shiwen's letter.

Zhou Jin really lived up to expectations and showed outstanding abilities.

The elimination of bandits in Qingshui County is just around the corner.

However, when he thought of his son Wang Shiwen, who was ambitious but lacked talent, Old Master Wang quickly wrote a letter to Wang Shiwen, urging him to be humble, obey Zhou Jin's arrangements, and never act on his own.

Of course, every move and even conversation of Zhou Jin and others were transmitted to Emperor Kangping's desk intactly.

Emperor Kangping not only watched it himself, but also called the crown prince to come and watch it.

Explain Zhou Jin's actions one by one and the deep meaning behind them.

"Father, Zhou Jin is not a military commander, but if you look at his command, he is more strategic and courageous than Xie Jin, who is a military commander."

Emperor Kangping stroked his beard, very satisfied, "Yes, given time, he will definitely be better than the current Marquis of Changning. Heng'er, this is the counselor I should choose for you."

Qi Heng was delighted, "Thank you, father. Zhou Jin is very different now, but he has the war blood of the old marquis, so it's easy for him to deal with those bandits."

Emperor Kangping nodded, "Let's wait for good news. Is there anything you don't understand about the recent government affairs?"

Qi Heng thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, cousin wants to work in the south?"

Emperor Kangping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How south? Lingnan is south, Hainan is also south, and Southwest is also south."

Qi Heng replied: "Southwest, bordering South Vietnam."

"Oh?" Emperor Kangping smiled and asked Crown Prince Qi Heng, "What do you think, Crown Prince?"

Qi Heng blinked his eyes. "Prince Ning rebelled. We dealt a heavy blow to Nanyue, but they have always been rebellious. I am worried that my cousin might be seduced or coerced into having improper thoughts when he gets there, which could cause trouble."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Kang Ping laughed loudly, "If he has rebellious intentions, he will rebel even if he is right in front of you. If he is loyal, he will protect every inch of Kangguo's land for you even if he is in the sky."

Qi Heng was stunned. "Father, should I let my cousin go there? Hey, my mother has only one brother from her mother's family. Although my uncle has been a bit excessive in recent years, he has also accomplished some great things."

"My son is worried that the distance is too far and our control is weak, which may cause my cousin to have inappropriate thoughts. We are confident that we can suppress them, but the Queen Mother only has my uncle, and she loves my cousin very much, so she will definitely be very sad."

Emperor Kangping smiled and said, "This is about my uncle and Li Mu. They are not only my subjects, but also your relatives. Heng'er, I won't tell you whether you should do it or not. You can decide for yourself."

This was a test given to the Crown Prince by Emperor Kangping.

If handled properly, it will prove that the prince is capable enough to cope with major changes in the future.

If it is not handled properly, it doesn't matter, he can clean it up, and at the same time, it can also give the prince more experience.

As you make more mistakes and gain more experience, you will naturally be able to handle various things.

At this stage, the first thing the prince should do is to take care of his health.

In the Eastern Palace, both the Crown Princess and the two concubines are pregnant.

The imperial physician said that he was in good health.

Now all the Queen’s experiences are on these pregnant women.

The Empress Dowager strictly controls food, clothing, housing and transportation.

No one is allowed to tamper with pregnant women to ensure the safety of the royal heir.

Prince Qi Heng was stunned, knowing that his father was testing him.

After returning, Qi Heng thought for half an hour and decided to agree to his cousin's request.

If a cousin showed rebellious intentions, he could only kill him reluctantly.

As for the Queen Mother's sadness, the Prince will be more filial to her and let her know that her nephew is important, but her son is more important.

When Emperor Kangping learned that the prince agreed to Li Mu's request, one person laughed.

His son was destined to be a tiger roaring in the mountains, not a cat.
