After listening to Wang Shouzhi's words, Yuan Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Gu Ye feels that Mobei should not be underestimated, but none of the officials in the court have ever taken this small wilderness to their heart.
Since you have this intention, I will give you a chance. Whether you can make your Wang family become the second general's mansion depends on your ability."
Wang Shouzhi was so excited that his long-cherished wish could finally come true.
He knelt on the ground with one knee, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."
Yuan Chen helped him up and said: "Now is the time for the government to employ people. I don't want to bury your talents. There is no need to worry about your parents. You only need to do what you want to do. It's just that the battlefield is dangerous. You can
Have you thought it through?"
Wang Shouzhi said: "I think very clearly, and I have been paying attention to the situation in Mobei over the years and collected a lot of information, and now it has finally come in handy.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry the princess of Nanyue. After the good relations between the two countries, there will be no more wars.
But marriage is not a long-term solution. Only the unification of the world can bring about true peace. I believe that you, Your Highness, can do it!"
Yuan Chen's brows twitched, he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't let you down."
Wang Shouzhi remembered what Yuan Chen said just now and asked: "Your Highness wants Shen Huaiting to serve as the Prime Minister?"
Yuan Chen said: "Do you think he is not qualified?"
Wang Shouzhi shook his head and said: "No, I just think His Highness acted very boldly, which is very admirable.
I believe that Your Highness, your decision will not be wrong, because Shen Huaiting is indeed very talented.
I used to think that he would be a pillar of the country in the future and would do great things. Unfortunately, my parents were short-sighted and looked down upon him.
I originally thought that Shen Huaiting would have to rise and fall in the officialdom for more than ten years before he could reach the top of power. I didn't expect that His Highness would want him to directly assume the position of Prime Minister. This is unprecedented.
This is a challenge for Shen Huaiting, and it is also a great pressure for you, Your Highness, and you have to endure a lot of criticism, and I am afraid that the courtiers will not agree."
Yuan Chen snorted and said, "If they had the ability, they would not choose Shen Huaiting.
The remaining people in the court were not so sincere towards their father and emperor, but they were just timid and cautious in protecting themselves, so they did not collude with Yuan Hao.
Do you want to leave them alone just to give them a chance to see how capable they are?"
Wang Shouzhi knew that Yuan Chen wanted to use this matter to rectify the court. Indeed, there were too many shortcomings in the court today, and it was time to clean up and rectify it.
He was somewhat looking forward to what kind of prosperity Beichen would be like after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne.
After Wang Shouzhi left, Mu Rufeng and Ye Jinming walked in.
Yuan Chen glanced at the two of them, and then asked Mu Rufeng: "How do Shen Chi and your sister get along?"
Mu Rufeng raised her eyebrows and said, "I haven't seen my sister much since Shen Chi came here. When she has something to do, she will go to Shen Chi and either give him books or cakes. She is very interested in it."
My elder brother is not that good."
Ye Jinming said bitterly: "My sister is the same. I have to take advantage of His Highness the Crown Prince to eat the snacks made by Jialan himself."
Mu Rufeng felt like he had found a confidant. He said, "I'm a little jealous of Shen Chi now."
Ye Jinming said: "This is how my uncle looks at his brother-in-law. The more he looks at her, the more he dislikes her."
As he said that, he glanced at Yuan Chen with his peripheral vision, as if he had something to say.
Mu Rufeng didn't know which pot to open, so he asked Yuan Chen: "I heard that His Majesty agreed to let you go to Nanyue? Have you figured out how to please your uncle?"
Nanyue and Beichen have been at odds with each other for so many years. Now that you want to marry someone else's sister, are you afraid that your brother-in-law won't give you a good look?
What if someone doesn’t want to marry your sister to you?”
Yuan Chen felt that he was a bit noisy, so he said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
Mu Rufeng said: "Don't I care about you, and you still don't appreciate it?"
