Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying

In the imperial study, the emperor sat at the desk, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the prince and Prince Chen.

His face was still gloomy, as if he had not yet fully recovered from his anger in the court.

"What do you think of my handling of the matter today?" The emperor was the first to break the silence, his voice low and majestic.

The prince bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Father, your majesty is wise. These officials committed crimes and deserved their punishment. Your majesty's punishment is fair and strict. It not only demonstrates the majesty of the national law, but also gives an explanation to the people of the world."

King Chen also said immediately: "Your Majesty's move is undoubtedly pleasing to the people. Those parasites should have been punished long ago. But, does the emperor have any candidate for the vacant position?"

The emperor shook his head.

He really hadn't thought this through.

Moreover, it happened suddenly.

He was startled.

The important thing is that when this happened, King Chen did not inform him in advance.

Otherwise I wouldn't be so angry.

As for those evidences, there are also memorials.

The emperor knew without a second thought that it was the work of his fifth brother.

Fast, accurate and ruthless, as always.

Although it was to help the prince, he was happy to see it happen.

Otherwise, he would not have made such a promise after marrying Bai Jinyan.

And he really did it.

The age gap between the crown prince and other princes was increased by five years.

It can be seen that his feelings for Bai Jinyan are really deep.

But at the same time, he took over the throne.

He had to send women to the harem for the sake of his country.

One woman after another entered the palace.

To be honest, there were only a few he could remember.

Seeing this, the prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said Bai Chenfeng's name.

"Father, Bai Chenfeng was already the top scorer in the imperial examination, but he gave up literature and joined the army. Now he is back, and there is a vacancy in the court, why not give him a position!"

After he finished speaking, the prince stared at the emperor closely with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, and carefully observed the emperor's expression.

Although the prince always knew that he was his father's most valued and beloved son, he was still hesitant about this matter.

After all, placing one's own people in the court is not a trivial matter, and he is not sure whether his father will be angry about it.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He obviously did not expect that the prince would propose such a candidate.

But soon, the emperor burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the imperial study, as if dispelling the previous haze.

The emperor looked at the prince with a gratified look on his face, then his eyes fell on Prince Chen and he praised: "Fifth brother has taught the prince very well."

When King Chen heard the emperor's praise, his deep eyes darkened, as if some emotion flashed across his eyes.

But he soon regained his composure and said respectfully: "This is what the king should do."

Only he knows what is in his heart.

Teach the prince well and make him capable of taking over the throne, so that he can take Bai Qianqian out to travel and enjoy the scenery with peace of mind, away from the disputes in the court.

The emperor's mood improved because of the prince's suggestion and King Chen's response.

He nodded, with a hint of testing in his eyes, and said, "Bai Chenfeng should indeed be given a position. Prince, tell me, what position is appropriate?"

This was obviously intended to test the prince.

The prince's heart tightened. He knew that this was a test from his father, but he did not back down.

The prince frowned slightly and thought seriously.

After a while, the prince raised his head, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and said, "Father, I think Bai Chenfeng can be appointed as the Minister of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment and assessment of officials. Bai Chenfeng is talented and has experience in the military. He will be able to distinguish right from wrong and select truly talented officials. Moreover, he is decisive, fair and honest. He will definitely be able to rectify the atmosphere of the Ministry of Personnel and select more talents for the court."

After hearing what the prince said, the emperor did not express his opinion immediately, but continued to look at the prince quietly, as if thinking about whether what the prince said made sense.

The imperial study fell into a brief silence again, with only the breathing of a few people audible.

After a while, the emperor slowly spoke: "The prince's idea is not bad. However, Bai Chenfeng has never worked in the Ministry of Personnel. Whether he is qualified for this position requires further observation."

There was a hint of caution in the emperor's tone.

The prince said quickly, "Father, I believe in Bai Chenfeng's ability. He can make a difference in the army, let alone in the court. I am willing to vouch for him. If he is not competent, I am willing to take responsibility."

The emperor looked at the prince's determined eyes and his heart moved slightly.

He knew that the prince sincerely wanted to recommend Bai Chenfeng, and that the prince seemed to have full confidence in Bai Chenfeng.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since the prince trusts him so much, I will give him a chance. However, if he cannot make achievements, I will not show mercy."

The Crown Prince and King Chen quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Father (Your Majesty)."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, all of you stand up. I hope that the prince will remember that the country will be handed over to you in the future, and you must have your own people in the court."

The meaning is very clear, that is, King Chen’s two sons will also be included in the circle in the future.

The prince replied, "I will follow your father's instructions."

Afterwards, the Emperor discussed some other matters with the Crown Prince and King Chen before letting them leave.

After the Crown Prince and Prince Chen left the imperial study, they both felt particularly happy.

The prince was happy that he had successfully recommended Bai Chenfeng, and he believed that Bai Chenfeng would not let him down.

King Chen was silently planning in his heart, waiting for Bai Chenfeng to gain a foothold in the court.

After the emperor passed the throne to the prince, he could take Bai Qianqian away from the capital and live the life they wanted.

What happened in the court quickly reached the ears of the second prince as if it had wings.

The second prince paced back and forth in his mansion, his face looking terribly gloomy.

He never thought that things would develop to this point. Those officials who had been on good terms with him were not only dismissed from office, but also affected his image in his father's heart.

And Concubine Wenxi in the harem soon heard about this.

Especially the fact that her father was punished with house arrest for a month, which made her dissatisfaction burn like a flame.

She sat in the magnificent palace, her delicate face distorted by anger.

She knew very well that the emperor would punish her father, just to give her and the second prince a warning so that they would not have any inappropriate thoughts.

But it was precisely this that made Concubine Wenxi even more angry.

In her opinion, all the women in the harem belong to the emperor, so why should only the queen's son sit on the supreme position?
