"By the way, Prince, there is one more thing." Yao Xiaoren spoke again.
"Although I don't know what the agreement is between the Crown Prince and His Majesty, today the Minister of Civil Affairs Liu Qingyan died and the position of Minister of Civil Affairs is vacant. The Crown Prince should take action as soon as possible."
"Although Your Majesty has shelved the position of Minister of Staff, if it is delayed for a long time, things will be unpredictable."
Although it is not known what the deal between Chen Changfeng and the emperor was, the position of Minister of Civil Affairs originally belonging to the second prince was left vacant.
Chen Changfeng, the prince, should get this position in time.
Use this to strengthen your own strength!
Moreover, the position of the Minister of Civil Affairs is very important in the court. The annual performance evaluation of most officials is in the hands of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
It is very important for Chen Changfeng to get the position of Minister of Civil Affairs as soon as possible.
Of course Chen Changfeng knew that Yao Xiaoren was right, but there was no one around him who could be qualified for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
If you just find someone to go over and the emperor throws you out, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"Is the prince worried that there is no one around him who can help him?" Seeing Chen Changfeng frowning slightly, Yao Xiaoren immediately understood Chen Changfeng's worries.
Although Chen Changfeng has suddenly risen to prominence in the past two months, there are really very few useful people around him.
"Old Yao, do you have anyone to recommend?" Chen Changfeng asked casually.
What Yao Xiaoren said is indeed true, although the emperor promised himself that he would temporarily put aside the position of Minister of Staff and wait for his own candidate.
But who knows how long the emperor will wait.
The Minister of Personnel is of great importance. If the officials have been asking the emperor to select a new Minister of Personnel, Chen Changfeng has not made any move.
It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to keep waiting for the advice of his officials.
For now, the only way is to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible.
But Chen Changfeng thought about everyone around him and could never think of anyone who could make him feel at ease.
"I have already thought about the prince, the prince's father Tang Mingren." Yao Xiaoren said with a smile.
"The Crown Princess's father?" Chen Changfeng was stunned.
"Yes, Tang Mingren served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for many years during the late emperor's period. He has outstanding abilities. Furthermore, he is the father of the Crown Princess, so his reliability is certainly no problem."
"If the prince can ask him to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the prince will be able to know immediately if there is any news in the yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"However, it is not that easy to ask Tang Mingren to come out. Everything depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's own ability." Yao Xiaoren said slowly.
Tang Xueer's father, Tang Mingren, was the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ming Empire during the reign of the late Emperor.
But for some unspeakable reasons, Tang Mingren resigned and returned home.
Thereafter he began his business career.
The Ming Empire did not despise merchants, it just required that they could not do business as court officials.
There is nothing wrong with Tang Mingren resigning to go into business.
And because Tang Mingren had outstanding abilities and was the biological father of the Crown Princess, Tang Mingren took over the matter of Bing Jing in the Ming Empire.
It can be considered a small asset.
The so-called ice respect is because the Ming Empire is located in the southwest, and the summer is extremely hot every year. It needs to store a large amount of ice in winter to relieve the heat in summer.
After listening to Yao Xiaoren's words, Chen Changfeng nodded slightly.
It suddenly occurred to him that after marrying Tang Xueer back, he seemed to have never visited the Tang family.
And because his reputation was relatively bad before, no one from the Tang family had ever come to see him.
Although the two are husband-in-law, they seem more like strangers.
When Yao Xiaoren said that he should rely on his own ability to invite Tang Mingren to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he probably meant that Tang Mingren looked down on himself as the prince.
Yao Xiaoren left the East Palace, and before leaving, he once again reminded Chen Changfeng to keep his distance from Qisha, and not to agree to anything about leading the army in the subsequent court meeting.
Chen Changfeng just smiled and nodded, and was about to ask Tang Xueer about her father when he saw that Tang Xueer had already come over with two bowls of soup.
"Hey, Prime Minister Yao just left?" Tang Xueer looked around and saw no trace of Yao Xiaoren.
Yao Xiaoren was busy all night yesterday, so Tang Xueer asked someone to make two bowls of soup and delivered it to the two of them personally.
"Let's go, Xue'er, you sit down, I want to ask you something." Chen Changfeng nodded and asked Tang Xue'er to sit down again.
Tang Xueer sat opposite Chen Changfeng, with a trace of doubt on her face.
"Well, it just occurred to me that I haven't visited your home since I got married to you. How about you accompany me there today?" Chen Changfeng blushed a little when he said this.
I have been married to her daughter for a year, but my father-in-law has never even visited her.
"Ah?" Tang Xueer looked at Chen Changfeng in surprise.
Then a moment later, Tang Xueer whispered: "That prince, why don't we go? My father has a bad temper, and my brother has an even worse temper."
Tang Xueer didn't expect that Chen Changfeng suddenly said that he wanted to visit her father.
I haven't been there this year, and Tang Xueer is always trepidatious every time I go back to her parents' home.
I was afraid that my father would make trouble for Chen Changfeng again.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng's previous performance really made her father Tang Mingren very unhappy.
It’s okay for your prince to be uneducated and incompetent. He doesn’t even have the proper manners.
After marrying my own daughter, I really didn’t even visit her once.
So much so that Tang Xueer herself didn't dare to speak loudly when she returned to her parents' home.
Chen Changfeng now wants to accompany him to his parents' home, and Tang Xueer feels that she will probably be kicked out on the spot.
It doesn't matter to me. How embarrassing would it be if the prince Chen Changfeng was beaten out with a stick?
Hearing what Tang Xueer said, Chen Changfeng instantly understood what image he had in the eyes of the Tang family.
No wonder Yao Xiaoren said just now that if he wanted to tempt Tang Mingren, he would have to rely on Chen Changfeng's ability.
Looking at Tang Xueer's appearance, it's already a skill to be able to walk into the Tang family.
"I still have to go there. I haven't been there this time. I can't be said to be rude as a prince." Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
Tang Xueer mumbled her little lips and thought to herself, didn't Chen Changfeng come to the door on his own initiative to make himself uncomfortable?
Anyway, if you tell Dad that Fengxue Bookstore actually belongs to the Prince, Dad won't be so angry.
"Okay, but you have to listen to me when the time comes. Don't talk back to dad. And my brother..."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Before Tang Xueer finished speaking, Chen Changfeng agreed with a smile on his face.
Tang Xueer felt that it was a bit unreliable for Chen Changfeng to agree like this.
But thinking that Chen Changfeng would always have to meet his father.
Tang Xueer only hopes that they won't start fighting directly when they meet.
…
The Tang family has a house in the south of the capital, which is where Tang Xueer grew up.
There are now hundreds of people in the family, which is quite a big family.
Chen Changfeng and Tang Xueer came over in a carriage, and it didn't take long on the road.
The carriage stopped at the door of Tang Mansion, and the servant standing at the door immediately came to greet him.
Seeing that it was Tang Xueer and a guy he had never seen before, the servant immediately raised his hands and said: "Miss, the master just said that no one will be seen today. Miss, please come back."
Tang Xueer was speechless for a while. When she came back five days ago, no one stopped her.
Why are you stopped here today?
"I'm coming back to see mom. I'm not going to see dad. Let us go in." Tang Xueer said with a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.
"The master said that for the past two days, the house will be closed to all guests. No one will be allowed to see you. Please don't embarrass me." The servant stopped Tang Xueer directly.
Tang Xueer's pretty face turned pale with anger.
Before Chen Changfeng revealed his identity, he blocked him from the door.
If Chen Changfeng revealed his identity, wouldn't the two of them be immediately kicked away?
"Bold, I, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess came to the Tang Mansion in person today, and the Tang family actually dared to stay behind closed doors!" Chen Changfeng knew that if he didn't speak, Tang Xue'er would get angry and cry, so he immediately scolded the two people in front of him coldly.
