Chapter 672 Could it be that he is not open-minded enough?
"That's the Ministry of War."
"right."
There is a difference between the powerful and ordinary people. Ordinary people have worked hard for ten years, and even if they get the top prize, they still have to start from the sixth level of compilation. After ten or twenty years, they may not be able to become a young minister.
However, he came from a high background and never even participated in the imperial examination or martial arts examination. His first official position was as a commander of the Third Rank and Fifth City Division.
Forget it, the commander of the Five Cities Division, it is a position with many and complicated tasks. Generally, the sons of powerful people are not willing to do it, but the Minister of War is a high-ranking official of the third rank.
Once this position becomes vacant, it will be snatched to pieces. Even with the help of the Rong family, it is impossible for him at such a young age to sit in it. That is to say, His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince can make arrangements.
.
After all, one of these two is the current emperor and the other is the future emperor.
"I remember that there are ministers on both sides of the Ministry of War. If you go there, what about the original one?" It is a good thing to be promoted, but it is not good to push others down for no reason. After all, they have been doing it for many years and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Chen Shangshu is resigning." Rong Ci's tone was calm, "Chen Shangshu was not in good health in the middle of last year, and he is getting a little older. He plans to resign in a while. What Your Highness means is that these two
A waiter will bring one up to make a space available."
Chen Shangshu belongs to His Majesty, but His Majesty now wants to abdicate and does not want to arrange anyone else, so he asked the Crown Prince to make arrangements for himself. Since it is the Crown Prince who arranges it, he naturally arranges for people he trusts.
Xie Yixiao took a sip of tea, and then said: "If you really take this position, there will probably be a lot of jealous people who want to pull you down, so you need to be careful when the time comes."
"That's natural." Rong Ci naturally understood this truth. If he really took this position, some people would be so jealous that their eyes would bleed. "After Chen Shangshu resigned, the transfer order came down very quickly.
I will probably be busy for a while and I won't have time to accompany you."
"I am not a three-year-old child anymore. I need someone to accompany me all the time. If you are busy with business, just go ahead and I will take care of myself." Before she got married, she knew who she wanted to marry and what kind of life she wanted to live.
While the couple was talking, an invitation came from the concierge, saying that it was sent by Princess Qinghua.
Xie Yixiao opened it and saw that Princess Qinghua had made an appointment with her to meet at Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower.
Rong Ci glanced at the invitation and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Prince Qinghua invites you again?"
"What do you mean? I have only met her a few times." Xie Yi smiled and saw that his face was a little cold and a little strange, "You don't want me to meet her often? Is there something going on over there in South Vietnam?"
"That's not true." Rong Ci couldn't say that this princess was so beautiful, and his wife was so pretty, and he could feel that her attitude towards Princess Qinghua was very special, so he didn't think much about it.
The two men got together.
"If not, let's get married. You can just think that I have made a friend. Let's drink tea, listen to books and chat with her in our free time." Xie Yixiao twirled the invitation in his hand, "I'm going out."
After saying that, she asked Hongcha to get her cloak, and asked Russula to tell Qingluo and Xianye to wait at the gate.
"Go ahead." At this point, he couldn't tell her to leave. He looked stingy and said, "Come back soon."
Rong Ci once again couldn't figure out why King Huainan could endure Gu You being entangled with Prince Suye again and again. He was just thinking that his wife saw a beautiful woman too often.
I can't even take a breath.
Could it be that he is not broad-minded enough?
Xie Yixiao didn't know Rong Ci's inner tangle, and soon set off with Ming Xin and Qingluo Xiangye. The Lantern Festival market was lively last night, and it only dispersed at midnight. Therefore, the market was a little deserted today, and carriages passed through the market unimpeded.
After passing by, we soon arrived at Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower.
There were not many people in Jiangshang Qingfeng Building, but they all gathered in the lobby on the first floor to talk about the excitement last night.
When I heard that Gu You fell into the water last night and was rescued by Prince Su Ye, the two of them were stuck together. The green hat on King Huainan's head was indeed very green. He could endure it and he was a capable man.
The second thing is about the incident last night when King Huainan rushed to the crown and became angry over a beauty, and the two kings in the embassy quarreled over a girl.
There was a person who was very eloquent. He seemed to have witnessed what happened last night and described the incident in such a way that it was so ups and downs.
"If Prince Sukang hadn't returned in the end and asked someone to hand over Miss Gu to the people from Prince Huainan's palace, there would have been a fight last night and blood would have splashed all over the embassy."
"Isn't it possible? Then His Highness Prince Huainan really dares to take action? He is also a prince after all. If he really takes action in the embassy, wouldn't it destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
"Although our Dongming Dynasty is more powerful than Xiliang, with a vast territory, and is a border country where countries bow to their vassals and pay tribute every year, but if we ignore the rules and damage our diplomatic relations, and a war breaks out, there will be countless casualties."
Even if Xiliang can be destroyed in a fight, the people of Dongming Kingdom have finally settled down. They are living a good life now and do not want to fight together.
"It is said that during the early court, several people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were impeaching King Huainan, saying that he ignored the overall situation and acted absurdly."
"Really or not?"
"Of course it is true. It is said that His Majesty was very angry after hearing this. If King Huainan had not thought of himself at home and would not go to court, otherwise he would have been scolded to death."
While listening to the discussion in the lobby, Xie Yixiao went to a private room on the third floor, where Princess Qinghua had been waiting for a long time.
"I took the liberty of inviting Madam Ninth here, and I hope you'll forgive me." The two of them greeted each other and then sat down respectively. Princess Qinghua sent them back to the door. Xie Yixiao saw this and asked people to leave.
"I met Gu You last night." Princess Qinghua suddenly said.
"Oh? Have you met her?" After Xie Yixiao said it, he realized that Gu You was at the embassy last night, and Princess Qinghua was also at the embassy. If you want to see her, it's normal to go and have a look.
"What do you think after seeing it?"
"I don't have any thoughts. He's just an ordinary person with extraordinary luck." Princess Qinghua's face was calm. "After meeting her, I felt that something was wrong with the Gu family being framed."
Xie Yi smiled and paused: "What's wrong?"
"If King Huainan really loves Gu You, even if he wants to trap the Gu family and blackmail Gu You, it should be impossible to let anything happen to the Gu family." If it weren't for Gu You's love brain, and it wasn't really Gu You, otherwise
With the fate of the Gu family, how could Gu You still be with King Huainan.
"Yesterday when people from Prince Huainan's Mansion came, I went to the door and saw a very strange person."
When Princess Qinghua said this, she frowned slightly and seemed a little confused: "This man is not very old, about thirty-five years old, but he has a long beard that covers half of his face."
"But I always feel that his eyes and back are a bit familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere."
