Li Baiyu nodded with a hint of confusion on his face: "You haven't been to court in the past few days, so of course you don't know what's going on in the court. The day before yesterday, my father suddenly issued an order for me to supervise the country. When my brother arrived,
I am still confused now. My father is in good health, so why do I suddenly ask my brother to supervise the country on his behalf?"
"What did the elder brother's staff say? If it's not convenient, just treat it as a joke for the younger brother."
The emperor's sudden decision to let the prince supervise the country must have been a carefully considered decision!
The prince's supervision of the country is not as easy as shown in later TV series.
Unless the emperor is seriously ill or has just recovered from a serious illness, and the emperor is on a military expedition in person or is away from the palace, the prince will be allowed to supervise the country on his behalf.
The prince can handle any court affairs as a superintendent of the country, and he can also gather prestige to win over the court officials.
Generally speaking, the emperor will not hand over his power to his son easily if there are no important matters in the country.
After all, there is a gap between people's hearts, and even if it is a biological son, he cannot completely rest assured about that chair.
Because it cannot be ruled out that some princes are audacious and harbor evil intentions.
"Since Brother Wei has come to visit today, there is nothing that cannot be said. Some staff believe that this is because the father is cultivating Brother Wei's ability to govern. To put it bluntly, after a hundred years from Emperor Father, Brother Wei will eventually inherit the great treasure.
It is not unreasonable for the father to do this, but the staff on the other side think that the father is doing this...
.”
Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and looked at the prince inquiringly: "Testing your character, brother?"
Li Baiyu sighed and nodded gently: "Brother, you are a smart man. Sure enough, you understood it all at once. That's why I am so happy and panicked now because I can't guess my father's holy will! That's why I came to you, brother."
See if you can get some helpful advice!”
Liu Mingzhi tightly grasped the folding fan in his hand, folded his hands around his chest, and fell into deep thought.
Li Baiyu didn't bother him when he saw this. His staff suggested that he go to the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers and people close to him to ask for advice.
After careful consideration, Li Baiyu finally rejected the suggestions of his staff and chose to pay a visit to his brother-in-law, Mr. Liu.
After all, I am not related to the other people, so if I come to visit rashly, I will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of someone who is interested.
His uncle, General Nangong Ye of the Flying Eagle Guard, was guarding the border in northern Xinjiang again. The person who was close to him and who won the emperor's heart was his brother-in-law Liu Mingzhi.
Even if he comes to Liu Mingzhi's place, he will have nothing to say even if he is interested. It is human nature for the eldest brother to come to visit his sister and brother-in-law, and no one will have anything to say.
Liu Mingzhi thought carefully about all the events in the past few days when the emperor urgently summoned ministers to the palace for an audience. During this period, he did not seem to feel any physical discomfort.
When he was playing chess, his energetic laughter was stronger than that of ordinary people, and he did not look like a seriously ill person.
He was in good health but allowed the prince to supervise the country. Could it be that the emperor was eager for success and wanted to completely solve the problem between the Jin Kingdom and the Turks and then let Dalong's fleet sail across the sea and create a lasting legacy?
This is not impossible, but based on his understanding of the emperor's character, Li Zheng is definitely not an impulsive person. Otherwise, the emperor would have been able to leave Northern Xinjiang just two years ago when the Six Guards won a complete victory in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
, let’s have a national war.
It is impossible for the emperor to conduct a personal expedition. After all, the emperor has repeatedly stated that what Dalong needs now is not war, but for the people to recuperate.
Then there is only the possibility that the emperor will leave the capital. A short departure does not require such a grand ceremony for the prince to supervise the country, so it is very likely that he will need to leave the capital for a long time.
What did the emperor want to do when he left the capital?
Know Xiaomi?
This is simply nonsense. If the emperor can't get any woman he wants, how can he secretly meet Xiaomi secretly?
Then again, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief. It is not impossible. After all, there are many people who like to seek excitement.
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly shook his head to throw away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
In my own impression, the emperor is definitely not such an unreliable person, so what is the emperor going to do when he leaves the capital?
Could it be related to the voyage to the West?
Sailing to the West?
Liu Mingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "I seem to know!"
Li Baiyu, who had been staring closely at Liu Mingzhi, looked happy when he heard Liu Mingzhi's words. He had indeed guessed and made the right choice. The person who knew his father had to be the famous man's brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, what do you understand? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly: "Brother, I'm still not sure whether my guess is correct. We have to go to the Hubu Yamen!"
"Go to the Ministry of Accounts? What does this have to do with the Ministry of Accounts?"
"Just go and have a look and you'll find out. If my little brother guesses correctly, this will definitely be of great benefit to you, big brother!"
"real?"
"Let's go take a look first. I'll ask my servants to prepare the car!"
"No need, my brother's driver is waiting outside your house, just sit on my brother's carriage!"
"This is inappropriate. How dare I take the prince's car? This is against etiquette. I'd better have someone prepare the car!"
Liu Mingzhi refused from the bottom of his heart to ride in a carriage with the prince, because he also knew that the prince's every move was watched by eyes from all directions.
Once you ride in a carriage with him, you will have confirmed the fact that you are in the line of princes.
But he had a reason to go to the Ministry of Finance. He wanted to go alone, but it was not suitable to leave the prince here.
The prince thought for a moment and understood what Liu Mingzhi meant. He smiled helplessly and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a somewhat complicated expression.
"That's fine. Brother Wei is waiting outside the house. Let me inform my little sister and apologize for leaving Brother Wei without saying goodbye. I'll come to chat with her someday!"
"Thank you for your understanding, brother. I'll come as soon as I go!"
After two cups of tea, the car of Li Bai, Yu, and Liu was heading towards the Ministry of Household Affairs!
"Join Zuo Shilang!"
"No gift!"
"Sir... I'm seeing His Highness the Crown Prince. I was blind and didn't see His Highness the Crown Prince coming with me. Please forgive me for my rudeness!"
"It doesn't matter. It's natural that I can't recognize Changfu when I'm alone. I forgive you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the member of the Household Department, who had taken his original position, with a faint smile: "Sir Song, I and the Crown Prince will go and sit inside. You can do whatever you want!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Sir, please excuse me."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Li Baiyu gently. The prince's character was exactly the same as that of the emperor. As long as he kept it up, he would be a wise king again.
It's just that who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Everything is changing. Why haven't I changed from a dandy young master who just eats, drinks and has fun to a hardworking minister?
"Your Highness, please!"
"Please!"
When they arrived outside, they had to match their positions, otherwise they would definitely be criticized again.
Young Master Liu who walked into the Hubu Yamen did not notice two people looking at the Hubu Yamen with a faint smile at the street entrance on the corner outside the Hubu Yamen.
Both of them are feather fans, one looks extraordinary and the other is handsome, standing together they look like two elegant young men!
"Your Majesty, why don't you meet with Mr. Liu?"
"The person following him should be Dalong's current prince. It's not the right time to show up now. Let's wait!"
