Only the situation in southern Xinjiang and Mobei requires concern.
Lan Yuan has already joined Wang Shouzhi and has made arrangements, waiting to fight his way back to the royal court.
Over in southern Xinjiang, the wedding date of Duan Qingli and the prince of southern Xinjiang is approaching.
Fortunately, everything is under control.
Just as he was talking, he saw Xiao Ce come in. He took a look at the people in the room, and they were all the upstarts in the court.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "But are you interrupting your conversation?"
Yuan Chen said: "Everything that needs to be discussed has been finished, and you are the only one left."
Xiao Ce looked confused: "Me?"
Yuan Chen motioned for him to sit down, and then asked: "How do you get along with Miss Yan?"
Xiao Ce said bluntly: "I want to marry her, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make it happen."
Yuan Chen was not surprised at all. If he didn't like someone, he wouldn't stay in their house and not come back.
Although it was Jialan's intention, no one could stop him if he didn't want to.
He smiled and said: "Then what identity do you plan to use to marry her? There are people in Jialan's bodyguard now, and you are nothing now."
Xiao Ce's lips twitched and he said: "I think His Highness the Crown Prince has already made arrangements."
Yuan Chen handed him a brochure and said, "This is a vacant position in the court. You can choose one yourself."
Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the book and flipped through it.
Seeing this as no big deal, he was immediately startled and said, "You think too highly of me. I'm just a bodyguard who protects the Lord. How can I afford such a high position?"
The official positions left to him by Yuan Chen were all above the third rank, including six ministers and a supervisory censor. In short, they were all high positions that others could only dream of.
Yuan Chen said: "You are considered Jialan's brother after all. You can't bear the responsibility even if you are both civil and military. Please be more cheerful and don't lose Jialan's face."
When Xiao Ce heard the word "brother", he felt a little moved. In fact, he had some objections to Yuan Chen at first and felt that he was not worthy of their princess at all.
But after being together for so long, he finally saw clearly that Yuan Chen was worth trusting.
Xiao Ce stopped trying to evade, thought about it and said, "Then let's go to the household department."
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows, very satisfied with his choice.
Mu Rufeng asked: "Why the Ministry of Husbandry? I thought you would choose the Ministry of War?"
Xiao Ce is at least a military general, but now he no longer needs to fight, but the only official position related to military generals is the Ministry of War, which is Xiao Ce's director.
Xiao Ce said: "The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's fields, people's taxes, the imperial treasury, etc., but there have been few clean officials in the past dynasties.
Therefore, this position must be occupied by someone you trust."
Mu Rufeng smiled and said: "You are really good at putting gold on your face."
Xiao Ce raised his eyebrows. He was telling the truth. There were evil servants who wanted to steal Yan Bingying's property. Since the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the world's wealth, there are always moths trying to steal it.
He wanted to protect the treasury for the future emperor and help him create a prosperous world.
Yuan Chen said: "That's it, you will take over the job tomorrow."
The corners of Xiao Ce's lips twitched, he was so anxious, why not let him take a breath?
Just when he was about to fight for it, he heard Yuan Chen say: "You must enter the court early and secure your position as Minister of Household Affairs, so that you can marry Miss Yan in a glorious manner."
Xiao Ce was speechless and had nothing to say.
Mu Rufeng on the side said: "What's the matter of getting married? He's just getting married."
After saying that, he patted Xiao Ce on the shoulder and said, "You are the only Minister of the Ministry of Finance in history who has married into a wife."
Xiao Ce looked back at him and said with a smile: "I haven't thanked you, General Mu, for being the matchmaker."
