The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After this big change of blood, a new batch of people came up from the household department.After Zhu Guangquan died, the officials who followed him were basically wiped out.The emperor ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to temporarily take the post of Minister of the Household Department, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the Household Department. Now it means that all the officials of the Household Department obey the Prince's order.

Li Wen liked the emperor's decision to let His Highness the Crown Prince go to the household department.

Compared to getting along with an unfamiliar Shangguan, it is better for His Royal Highness to be his Shangguan, at least he and His Royal Highness are half acquaintances.However, Li Wen knew that His Highness the Crown Prince's visit to the Household Department was only a temporary matter, and the Crown Prince would definitely leave the Household Department in the future, and someone else would come to be the Minister of the Household Department.

But in such a period of time in the middle, it is enough for His Royal Highness to hold the entire household department in his hands. In the future, the post of minister of the household department will most likely be taken by someone from His Royal Highness.

But by that time, he might not be here at the household department anymore.

Now that there is no Shangguan staring at him, and His Royal Highness is replaced as his Shangguan, no matter what he wants to do in the future, it will be much more convenient. For this reason, Li Wen is not in a good mood, he feels relaxed instantly Get up and walk with a smile on your face.

Du Ruoheng noticed the smile on the corner of their lord's mouth, and asked jokingly, "My lord, what is the good thing that makes you so happy? Let the subordinates listen to me." He followed the lord's men for a while after the time,

Regardless of their young age, they are extremely independent in handling things, but they will not listen to the opinions of others, and if their opinions are good, they will not consider their suggestions.

He usually behaves very low-key, doesn't put on any official airs, and gets along well with the people under them

They respect and love their subordinates extremely, and will not lose their temper with them indiscriminately.It's just that I'm a little stricter at work, pointing out what they haven't done well, and asking them to do it again until it's done.After their adults came, the behavior and atmosphere of their group have changed. It seems that everyone gets along more unitedly and there are fewer conflicts.

After this incident with the household department, Du Ruoheng became more determined to follow their lords in doing things. There are very few good officials like their lords who only focus on doing practical things.He is not afraid of offending people, but he is afraid that he will become a drifter in the officialdom, and he doesn't know what he is doing as an official, but now, he seems to understand why he is here.

"I picked up money on the way." Li Wen blinked at Du Ruoheng and asked you if you believe it or not.

"I don't believe it." Du Ruoheng shook his head, how can a mere money make their adults so happy?Do they adults look like people who have never seen silver?

Li Wen laughed and said, "Look, I'll tell you, but you don't believe me."

This time, taking advantage of the big change in the household department, he got rid of a few people under him who were stuffed in by others.Both Shen Cheng and Du Ruoheng were his assistants. After knowing that Shen Cheng belonged to Zhu Guangquan, he took Shen Cheng away, leaving only Du Ruoheng to work by his side.In addition, two newcomers were invited from elsewhere, otherwise there would be insufficient manpower.

His most basic requirement for those who work with him is that everyone can be of one mind.Li Wen didn't want traitors to appear in the team when they were exhausting themselves and sell everything they did to others.

The two joked a few words, Li Wen ordered Du Ruoheng to deal with the matter, and he also immersed himself in the desk to deal with official duties.

Taking advantage of some time in the middle, Li Wen even turned a corner to drink a cup of tea with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Well, the tea brought by His Royal Highness is delicious, I wonder if there is any extra?Li Wen drank tea with His Royal Highness, and sincerely praised, "This tea is fragrant and sweet in the mouth, it's a good tea."

Seeing the crooked eyes of the young man smiling, Yang Shaomu said to the servant serving beside him, "I remember that there are still two cans of this tea, I will fill them up and let Li Liuyuan take them back to drink."

"Oh, what an embarrassment... Your Highness, you are too polite, so I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Wen said as he took the tea pot that Eunuch Yang handed over, smiling with narrowed eyes.The tea here by His Royal Highness must be a good thing. There may be some that are not sold outside. Even if some are sold, the tea is not cheap at first glance. It must be painful for him to buy it with his own money. It is not as good as him. It's true that I took silver taels and went to Yipinlou to buy a roast suckling pig.

But this tea is so delicious, it is absolutely impossible to refuse.Besides, if you want to refuse this, isn't it just not giving face to the Crown Prince?This face must be given!

So drinking someone else's good tea doesn't count, and when he left, Li Wen took two jars back with someone else.

Later, because His Highness the Crown Prince was here at the household department, he often went to His Highness the Crown Prince's to drink tea, and even drank with it.

He took, the tea he brought back was enough for him to drink for a whole year.But it's not good to always take other people's things, so when he saw something delicious outside, or made something delicious at home, he would bring a copy to His Royal Highness by the way. also!

Seeing the young man leaving with two cans of tea leaves, Yang Shaomu's mood became better for no reason, and he ordered the servants who were waiting beside him, "Go back and see if there are any good tea leaves in the house, and bring a few more cans. By the way, send a copy to Li Liuyuan."

"The old slave remembers that there is a lot of tea in the inventory. When I go back, the old slave will take a look and bring some more." Eunuch Yang is an old slave who serves by the side of His Royal Highness. I've seen it before, this Mr. Li looks innocent on the surface, but he is not a careless person.

Their highnesses are gentle and polite to everyone, but whether they are smiling sincerely or dealing with it, Eunuch Yang can also tell. Their highnesses seem to like this Lord Li very much?

When Yang Shaomu first came to the household department, he had to learn a lot. He had no chance to come to the household department before. Now that he has the opportunity to come to the household department, he must seize this opportunity to do something.He is the crown prince, the king who came from Dacheng, he can't know everything, so if he wants to be a good emperor, he still has a lot to learn.

It was because after he came to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he had more chances to get in touch with Li Wen.This person is a student brought out by his teacher himself, he believes in his teacher, and he also believes in his own eyesight, if he can get Li Wen's help, he will have an extra help on the road to winning the throne.

The reason why he was able to come to the household department this time was because Li Wen got Zhu Guangquan down, so from a certain aspect, it can be said that Li Wen was Yang Shaomu's lucky star.Indeed, ever since Li Wen came to the capital to become an official, his actions have become much smoother along the way. His father and emperor have less suspicion of him, and he dares to let go of some things.

Ever since the crown prince was assigned by the emperor to work in the household department, the situation in the court suddenly became delicate.

There have always been a lot of private struggles between the princes, and the officials at the bottom wanted to kill each other. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince temporarily replaced the post of Minister of the Household Department, and the Prince's faction ended up with a complete victory.No matter how many people under the First Prince and the Third Prince are placed in the household department, as long as the prince controls the entire household department, he can pull out the people they put in one by one.

But when he first arrived at the household department, Yang Shaomu was not in a hurry to do this. He had endured it for so many years, and he was not in a hurry.

Over the years, the prince has always given the impression to the ministers that he is gentle and courteous, showing the grandeur and demeanor that a prince should have. Therefore, many officials in the DPRK and China have a good evaluation of the prince.The prince is the son of the empress, and he has been established as the prince since birth. There are a group of ministers in the court who are unswervingly supporting the prince.

It's just that the eldest prince and the third prince are naturally not reconciled. Who can sit in that position depends on their own abilities. Therefore, as the several princes and crown princes have grown up, there has been no shortage of struggles in the court. The officials of the faction have been arguing endlessly for various interests.

Later, with Concubine Dong's favor and her father Dong Xian gaining power in the court, Concubine Dong was not reconciled to her son being just a prince, and the best thing to do in the future would be to be named a prince.She wanted her son to sit on that chair and become a man above ten thousand people. For this reason, Concubine Dong Gui worked hard on the emperor.But it's a pity that even if the emperor loves Concubine Dong and loves this youngest son, it is very difficult to change the prince when the prince has already been established, unless the prince has a major fault.When the prince was not at fault, even if the emperor wanted to change the prince, the ministers in the court would not agree.

So in this matter, I am afraid that no matter how hard Dong Shifei and Dong Xiang worked, it would be useless.

Compared with the prince's unhurried and slow, the eldest prince Yang Shaoyong's side is much more eager.The crown prince temporarily took over the position of Minister of the Household Department, which made the eldest prince anxious. The crown prince's gain in power would reflect their loss of power. He must not let the prince grow bigger.After coming out of the palace, Yang Shaoyong sent his personal guards to deliver a letter to the third prince.

The two brothers made an appointment and met as scheduled. Yang Shaoyong greeted them with food and wine, and Yang Shaokang came slowly with his people.

"Brother Emperor?" Seeing his elder brother, Yang Shaokang saluted.

"Third brother, you are here, but I am really waiting." If it was normal, if someone made him wait for so long, Yang Shaoyong would have lost his temper.But who asked him to talk to the third child today because he had something to talk to, and the other party arrived after him, Yang Shaoyong resisted his inner unhappiness, and still greeted him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's my brother who came late and kept the Emperor waiting for a long time." Yang Shaokang's apology didn't have much sincerity.

But Yang Shaoyong doesn't care, as long as people come, "Come, let's serve wine."

The servant next to him came up to pour the wine for the master, and when he finished pouring, he quietly waited by the side, waiting for the master's order.

"Please sit down."

"sit."

The two brothers sat down, with the exception of a personal servant who waited on them, the rest of them stayed outside the gazebo.Yang Shaoyong picked up the wine glass in front of him, and after having a drink with his brother, he said straight to the point, "Third brother, we two brothers are here today, so I won't beat around the bush, and just ask you, what was my proposal in the palace last time? I don't know what you should do?"

"Let's join forces..." They teamed up to deal with the prince, "Since you are here today, you must have the answer in your heart, right?"

"Brother Emperor, what you said is true."

"However, should we have a long-term plan for this cooperation?" Yang Shaokang looked down on Yang Shaokang in his heart, but it is not impossible for this person to take advantage of him, so he has his own consideration and purpose for coming here today.He said with a smile on his face, "Since I came here today to see you, Brother Dahuang, I naturally want to have a good talk with you, Brother Dahuang."

"Yes, yes, we need to have a good talk." The eldest prince laughed loudly, as if seeing them bring down the prince was just around the corner.

Yang Shaokang scolded "idiot" in his heart.

Today in this garden are all their cronies and trustworthy people, there is no need to worry about their conversations being leaked out, so the two of them talked about cooperation and dealing with the prince with confidence...
