Xiao Chongjun snorted and said: "What if he is just new to you?
There are so many women who miss him, what should I do if I can't hold it back for a moment, or are being plotted against?
I heard that his father failed his mother because of this."
Xiao Jialan's lips twitched and she asked: "Brother doesn't believe in Yuan Chen because he doesn't understand him. I believe in him and he will never betray me."
Xiao Chongjun glanced at Yuan Chen and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really capable. All the courtiers in Nanyue are willing to send their daughters to Beichen for marriage.
Before you came, they could not avoid you, but as soon as you came, they all changed their minds, and they probably all like you."
Yuan Chen:......
This was really a big unjust accusation that hit him on the head.
"Brother-in-law, are you sure it's because of me, and not because they want to marry a girl to get a successful career?
Everyone knows that my eldest brother-in-law loves Jialan and is unwilling to send her to Beichen. However, I have been ignored by you since I entered Beijing.
The court officials have guessed your thoughts and want to share your worries, which has nothing to do with me."
Yuan Chen said, stretched out his hand to pick up some vegetables and put them in Xiao Jialan's bowl.
Xiao Chongjun relaxed his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure that the courtiers and those noble ladies are not attracted to you?"
Xiao Jialan suddenly slammed the table and said in a domineering voice: "Who dares to rob me if they don't want their lives?"
Xiao Chongjun looked at her domineering look, the corners of his lips curved, he touched Xiao Jialan's head and said: "That's right, if someone dares to steal your man at the risk of his life, use your Nanyue Princess's momentum and let him
They know how powerful you are."
Yuan Chen coughed slightly and said, "Don't worry, uncle, you don't need Jialan to do anything, I will do it myself."
Xiao Chongjun reluctantly accepted. He said: "I have asked the Ministry of Etiquette to draw up the wedding regulations. When the Ministry of Etiquette sends an auspicious date, we will choose again. We won't make you wait too long."
Yuan Chen smiled slightly and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chongjun: "It would be better if we can do it before August 15th."
Xiao Chongjun said: "So, you are even optimistic about the auspicious date of your wedding? Are you so sure that I will definitely marry my sister to you?"
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "My uncle doesn't want to marry my sister, so I will stay and be Jialan's consort."
Xiao Chongjun snorted: "If you stay as the consort, what will Beichen do?
I heard that a civil strife just broke out in Beichen, and you appointed a new top scholar to be your prime minister and left all state affairs to him. Are you really brave and not afraid of something going wrong?"
Yuan Chen said: "Brother-in-law, what do you think is the way to be a king?"
Xiao Chongjun said: "Be diligent and love the people!"
Yuan Chen nodded and said, "But I think the way to be a king is to employ people.
As a king, he is in the ninth level and cannot see everything in the world. Everything he hears and hears comes from his ministers, who rely on their ears and eyes.
The foolish kings of ancient times, all of them were poor, did not know the gains and losses of current affairs, and did not see them, so they perished.
Knowing people well and utilizing them well is the key to the prosperity of the country. Those veterans who followed my father have long forgotten their original intentions. They put interests first in everything and cannot truly share the worries of the people and be my eyes and ears.
Therefore, I took advantage of the civil strife to reorganize the court, remove those pedantic and useless courtiers, and give young people a chance to display their ambitions.
As an emperor, if you worry too much, your hands will be tied up.
My uncle has just ascended the throne. If he wants to make Nanyue's future better, he must make changes. Just like you make up your mind to let the beauty in the palace leave the palace, this is also the first step to change.
That is to stop the courtiers from using their daughters to rise to the top and let them know that there is no shortcut to the top of power."
