The news about Zhao Rui's entry into the palace and the note Han Ruoxue thrust into him had already reached Emperor Qianxi before Zhao Rui left.
After hearing the eunuch's report, Empress Liu did not see Zhao Rui, and Emperor Qianxi did not care about the creed.
Anyway, since we haven't met, there is no intention of disobeying his will.
Zhao Rui didn't know why Queen Liu didn't see him. In fact, it was all because Emperor Qianxi sent a message and told Queen Liu not to see him, so he sent people to block the door and prevent him from entering.
Even though Zhao Rui didn't know the details, his purpose of entering the palace was achieved, so he didn't care about what happened just now.
He was holding the letter that Han Ruoxue had given him in his hand. He originally wanted to read it when he got back to the house, but as soon as he got on the carriage, he couldn't help but opened the letter and found that the content actually asked him to go find his uncle.
"Wang Baobao, change the route to Xuanping Marquis Mansion." After reading the letter, Zhao Rui made the decision in a few breaths.
Because Empress Liu asked him to find his uncle, it meant that he could only solve the problem of finding the master by going to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Wang Baobao was slightly stunned, wondering why Zhao Rui suddenly changed his route to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. In his opinion, their top priority should not be to go back to the manor first and look for the master after reading the creed given by Queen Liu.
If we change the route like this, we will have to waste time in Xuanpinghou Mansion.
There is less and less time left for them.
Of course Wang Baobao didn't know that Zhao Rui made the decision to change the route to the Xuanping Hou Mansion after reading the letter. If he had known, he would not have been surprised by this decision and would have gone happily.
"It's already this time, it's a waste of time..." Wang Baobao was still complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any unusual noises for fear that Zhao Rui in the car would notice and torture him for a while.
I don't agree with it in my heart, but I have to obey on the surface.
"Change the route and go to Xuanpinghou Mansion."
Wang Baobao finally asked the driver to change the route.
The carriage drove down the driveway and soon reached its destination.
"uncle!"
I don’t know if it was because he wanted to ask for something, but when he saw Liu Jianbai, Zhao Rui’s words were a little unusually excited and aggrieved. Maybe this is the feeling of a child towards his elders!
It is said that mother-in-law is older than uncle, even if Zhao Ruigui is the prince, there will be no exception.
"Rui'er is here?" Liu Jianbai smiled broadly when he saw the visitor. It could be seen that he was very happy.
The Liu family placed all their treasures on Zhao Rui. After a hundred years of Emperor Qianxi, when Zhao Rui succeeds to the throne, the Liu family will be the most noble family besides the royal family.
When they fall, no matter what the He family, the Gao family... they are all bullshit, and they will eventually be trampled under their feet by the Liu family.
"Uncle, Rui'er misses you." Zhao Rui expressed his longing in words and did not rush to tell the purpose of his trip.
When the two of them had finished chatting, a look of sadness appeared on their faces.
Liu Jianbai could tell at a glance that he was worried, and asked with concern, "Rui'er, what happened?"
"Uncle, there is something that my nephew cannot make the decision, and my mother refuses to see me. She told me to come to you..." When Liu Jianbai asked, Zhao Rui stopped hiding and quickly revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Rui'er, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by uncle..."
Liu Jianbai could hear the whole story and readily agreed without thinking.
And after hearing this, not only did his face show no displeasure or embarrassment, but he became even happier.
He seems to enjoy the feeling of Zhao Rui asking him for help. Perhaps this is also a reflection of Zhao Rui's closeness to him.
The closer Zhao Rui gets to him, the happier he will be.
Moreover, it is not difficult to find a master, and it is even a good thing for him.
Why is this?
What is the status of Zhao Rui's master?
That was the prince's tutor, grand master...the teacher of the future emperor. One can imagine how noble his position is!
At this time, he can not only arrange for his cronies, but also win over neutral people, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
"Thank you, uncle." After hearing Liu Jianbai's agreement, Zhao Rui suddenly felt that his hanging heart was completely relieved.
Liu Jianbai's words showed that he no longer had to worry about this matter, because Liu Jianbai would spare no effort to help him.
This is indeed the case.
Liu Jianbai put a lot of effort into this matter.
With many years of experience as an official and a thorough understanding of the situation in the DPRK, Liu Jianbai found the crown prince and grand master for Zhao Rui in just one day.
There was just one thing that put Liu Jianbai in trouble.
That is, regarding the choice of the Crown Prince and Tutor, I was somewhat unable to make a decision for a while.
Liu Jianbai hoped from the bottom of his heart that someone with a background and strength would be Zhao Rui's master.
However, the selected people's backgrounds are not considered strong, and their own strength is also a bit weak, so I can't help but feel a little unwilling.
It's just that the others are either from the Gao family or the He family, and there are only a few who are neutral.
It is really difficult to choose someone who has real power and ability as the Crown Prince and Tutor.
The most important thing is that this person can stand up to Emperor Qianxi.
For a time, Liu Jianbai fell into a tangle.
If a good teacher is found for Zhao Rui this time, it will not only allow Zhao Rui to complete the test of Emperor Qianxi, but also take the opportunity to enrich the Prince's East Palace, thereby establishing the Prince's unshakable status in the court.
Liu Jian was so confused that this was exactly the case.
He was unwilling to choose someone with an average background and average abilities.
He didn't dare to make up his mind, so he finally went to see his brother Liu Jiangang.
"The eldest brother has a sad look on his face, but he is having trouble choosing the crown prince and tutor?" The moment Liu Jianbai saw his younger brother, before he could explain his purpose, Liu Jiangang expressed his confusion.
"Second brother, what a wonderful plan!" Liu Jianbai said in shock.
"Hahaha, cough..." Liu Jiangang smiled softly. Before his laughter stopped, he started coughing again.
"Second brother, are you feeling well?" When Liu Jiangang coughed, Liu Jianbai immediately became concerned.
"Brother, I'm fine. This is an old problem." Liu Jiangang shook his head and said he was fine.
He just looked haggard and weak. How could Liu Jianbai believe that he was really fine?
Liu Jianbai suddenly felt regretful. His younger brother's condition was not cured yet, so why did he bring this matter to him?
"Hey, second brother, I..."
"Brother, I'm really fine." Liu Jiangang said with a smile, while forcing his body to sit up.
Suddenly the conversation changed and he changed the topic and said, "Brother, I have already thought about the candidate for the Crown Prince and Tutor."
"What?" Liu Jianbai looked at him in shock.
"A few days ago, Third Sister sent me a letter. I've been thinking about it these days."
"Even if Big Brother doesn't come to me today, I will send someone to find Big Brother." Liu Jiangang explained in a low voice. It's no wonder that he is so haggard. He has been paying attention to this matter.
"Second brother..." Liu Jianbai felt a little distressed, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Brother, look, this is the master I selected for Rui'er." Liu Jiangang took out a piece of paper with the name of the prince and master he selected for Zhao Rui written on it.
Liu Jianbai took the note and saw the name. He was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and didn't speak for a long time.
"Second brother, this guy can't do it!" Liu Jianbai calmed down and immediately expressed his opposition.
When Liu Jiangang heard this, he did not rush to speak or explain. Instead, he looked calm, as if he had already guessed that Liu Jianbai would say this.
Liu Jianbai looked at him with doubts in his eyes, wondering why he would choose this person.
Liu Jiangang understood his confusion and said calmly, "Why do you think this person is not good?"
"Is it because he is too young, or do you think his foundation and background are too weak, or has he offended too many people?"
Liu Jiangang threw several questions in succession and asked Liu Jianbai to answer them.
After hearing this, Liu Jianbai calmed down and thought carefully for a while before saying, "Second brother, this person is too variable and may not necessarily be of use to our Liu family in the future."
"Besides, the feud between this man and the He-Gao family has reached a point where it will never end."
"If we use this person, we will definitely have a conflict with the He and Gao families."
"Hahaha..." After listening to this, Liu Jiangang burst into laughter, which made Liu Jian confused.
"Why is the second brother laughing? Is the elder brother's analysis wrong?" Liu Jianbai said with a frown.
"Brother seems to have forgotten one thing."
"What's up?"
"The moment Third Sister became the queen, it was destined that our Liu family and the He family would fight to the death."
When Liu Jianbai heard this, he was stunned for a while.
Liu Jiangang continued, "Your Majesty can rest assured only if our Liu and He families fight against each other."
"And in the past few years, the Liu family has become more and more powerful in speaking, and our Liu family has gradually fallen into a disadvantage. If this continues, they will point the finger at Rui'er, and the consequences will be disastrous!"
There is no problem with Liu Jiangang's words, and he also agreed. What he does not approve of is the person chosen by Liu Jiangang, "My second brother is right, but it is precisely because of this that we should win over someone who can speak in the court."
.”
Liu Jiangang did not retort, but continued to ask, "Do you think it is easier to win over and control a person who is well-spoken in the court and has deep roots, or is it easier to win over and control a person with a weak foundation and a clean background?"
"Of course..." After saying this, Liu Jianbai suddenly realized, but he was still in a tangled state in his heart.
Seeing his move, Liu Jiangang knew that there was still some fire left, so he continued, "As for the variables mentioned by the eldest brother, none of them are important. Don't forget that this person and the He family have reached a point where they will fight to the death. We only need to fight him down."
Only in the He family can Rui'er's position as crown prince be as stable as Mount Tai."
"When the time comes, even if he doesn't listen to us, can he still not listen to Emperor Daqian?"
"Yes, that's right!" Liu Jianbai finally stopped worrying and agreed to Liu Jiangang's proposal.
"I will hand over the list to Ruier and ask him to report the candidates to His Majesty."
Liu Jianbai left the mansion and went straight to the prince's palace.
When I saw Zhao Rui, I handed him the selected list.
Zhao Rui was in a state of elation after receiving the list. He wanted to greet Liu Jianbai properly to express his gratitude, but unexpectedly Liu Jianbai refused and asked him to enter the palace to see Emperor Qianxi as soon as possible.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Rui felt that it was better to follow Liu Jianbai's words and settle this matter first.
So he immediately ordered his servants to prepare the carriage and went into the palace to see Emperor Qianxi.
