Chapter 378 You Give Me a Prime Minister
Chapter 378 You Give Me a Prime Minister
Regent's Palace, study.
Chu Chenfeng's desk was filled with information. Xing Yi, the old butler, Gu Changqing, Ying Yi and others were all there.
"Changqing, you stay in Kyoto. Although the court has been almost cleaned up, there are still many problems left. Please help the emperor."
Gu Changqing was a little reluctant. "With Master Li here and the second master of the Li family, they will definitely be able to handle the affairs of the court. I'd better go to the border with you."
"No, the Li family still has many things that are inconvenient for them to deal with. I feel relieved if you stay with me."
Gu Changqing snorted coldly, "Hmph, just let me take care of all the bad things. Anyway, I am used to being domineering. Everyone knows that I have your support behind me, so they dare not offend me. But, Li Mulan is now a princess, what is there to be afraid of in his Li family?"
Chu Chenfeng put down the letter in his hand and said, "You don't know Li Cong. The more this situation happens, the more we cannot let outsiders have anything to say. So, we can only ask ourselves to be more careful in what we say and do."
"Alright, alright, got it. Leave the affairs of the court to the emperor and Li Taifu, and leave the rest to me. I'm not afraid of anything, especially offending people. Otherwise, can you give me the position of prime minister? Wouldn't I have more say this way? Otherwise, I'll be just a little marquis, hehehe, useless."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him sideways, "You didn't hold an official position before, but you, the young marquis, were still rampaging around in Kyoto. Who would dare to fall into your hands? Why didn't I hear you say you wanted an official position before?"
"Oh, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you saying all this? You're so stingy."
Xing Yi couldn't help laughing, "Which girl did Young Marquis Gu take a fancy to? Do you want to show off in front of her?"
"Hey, you're making fun of me, you're asking for a fight."
Chu Chenfeng seemed to have really taken Xingyi's words to heart. "You are indeed not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. Your father always mentions this to me every time he sees me, asking me to persuade you. You should also pay more attention and stop making him worry."
Gu Changqing was depressed. "You didn't say these things before. What's the matter now? Do you think you have the right to criticize me now that you're married? Humph, don't tell me that. My father is worrying about nothing. I haven't had enough fun yet, so I don't want to get married."
The old butler smiled kindly, "Young Marquis, that's not the way to say it. It's normal for Old Marquis Gu to want to have a grandson at his age. So you better hurry up."
Gu Changqing waved his hands hurriedly, "Hey, hey, hey, housekeeper, you should persuade your master to have a baby soon, don't rush me, I don't want to get married and have children, it's too much trouble."
"Hehe." The old housekeeper didn't say anything more, but looked at Chu Chenfeng with a hint of anticipation. If there really was a young master, that would be great.
Chu Chenfeng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He coughed twice and changed the subject. He handed a stack of things on the table to Gu Changqing, "Keep these things. You may be able to use them."
Gu Changqing took it and flipped through a few pages casually. "Hahaha, Chu Chenfeng, when did you start investigating this kind of thing? Oh my, this Imperial Censor actually has a mistress outside and has two children with her. If his tigress knows about this, won't she make a scene?"
Everyone in the Chu State knew that the Imperial Censor had a fierce wife who controlled him very well. Who would have thought that he would have the guts to keep a mistress outside? It was really surprising.
"Oh, it turns out that Commander Xiao's new concubine is his sister-in-law's niece. No wonder. There were rumors in the past that Commander Xiao had... um, different feelings for his eldest sister-in-law. It seems to be true."
"Oh my god, this Meng Taichang's son is actually a homosexual. Damn, I used to drink with him. Oh my god, I will never hang out with him again."
······
Gu Changqing stuffed the information in his hand into his arms and smiled wickedly, "I didn't expect you to have this hobby, but I like it, hahahaha."
Chu Chenfeng coughed awkwardly, "This was given to me by Lan'er. She selected some useful things."
"Our princess is really far-sighted. Oh, yes, the princess has Fengyu Pavilion, right? It's quite famous in the martial arts world. Then we will have something to eat from now on, hehehe."
Chu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly. What he said really hit the nail on the head. Li Mulan’s biggest hobby when she was bored was to eat melons.
"Fill in the names of the officials who were dismissed this time as soon as possible. The emperor, Li Taifu, and you each have a copy of the preliminary list. This matter cannot be delayed."
"Okay, don't worry about this."
Gu Changqing had arranged everything here. Chu Chenfeng looked at the old housekeeper and said, "You can handle the affairs of the mansion. If you encounter something you can't decide, go to the princess. Her decision is my decision. How you treated me before is how you will treat her in the future. Do you understand?"
The old butler nodded respectfully, "I know what this old servant knows, and I will manage the servants in the mansion well. I will definitely respect the princess and will not let her be bullied in the slightest."
Gu Changqing curled his lips, "Butler, you worry too much. Your princess will never be bullied. She is the only one who bullies others."
"My princess, you can do whatever you want."
Looking at this domineering man who protected his wife, Gu Changfeng shook his head helplessly, "Yes, yes, your wife can only bully others."
"That's natural."
Gu Changqing choked and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Chu Chenfeng looked at Xing Yi and said, "Look at the princess's twenty or so subordinates and see which ones are suitable. You can choose some to go to the border with us."
Xing Yi showed his delight, "Princess, are you willing?"
The princess' subordinates are all skilled fighters, and Xingyi has been coveting them for a long time.
Chu Chenfeng raised the corner of his lips, "The princess is worried about me and insisted that I take some people away. I can't refuse her face."
Everyone in the study: ...Hehe, is it necessary to show affection so blatantly?
"Haha, haha, the princess is so kind to the prince. That Dongzi is very good, I want him. I will discuss the rest with Dongzi, that master...how much does the princess allow us to take?"
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "Although the princess is worried about me, I can't take all her subordinates away. I will also be worried."
Xing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, then...then I will pick half?"
"Well, it's up to you."
Xingyi was actually very happy. Although those guys were young, they knew as much as they did. They were also very skilled. He really made a fortune.
"Yingyi, you should get ready in a moment and take your people with you to go first."
"Yes."
"The rest of the matters, Xingyi, you go and arrange them. Do not disturb me again tonight."
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Yes."
Gu Changqing winked at Chu Chenfeng, and his expression looked a little obscene.
Chu Chenfeng got up and left, pretending to turn a blind eye. He just wanted to have a good chat with Lan'er before leaving, so why did Gu Changqing smile so obscenely?
