Looking at the smile on Xiao Jingchen's face, the emperor turned his gaze towards the Minister of Justice.

Minister Lu of the Ministry of Justice came out immediately.

"emperor."

"Lord Lu, what do you think?"

Hearing the emperor say this, Lu Shangshu, as his confidant, understood what the emperor meant.

"I very much welcome Prince Chen to come to the Ministry of Justice to do his work."

Hearing this, the emperor laughed.

"Okay, Chen'er, from today on, you will learn how to do your job beside Minister Lu."

"Thank you, uncle."

Prince Yin and Prince Ze looked at Xiao Jingchen in confusion. Why didn't Xiao Jingchen go to the Ministry of War, the camp outside the capital, the city defense camp and other places? These places are extremely critical.

But then they realized that their father would never let Xiao Jingchen go to those key places. If Xiao Jingchen won over people, the capital would be in danger.

A place like the Ministry of Justice has no real power other than judging and investigating cases every day.

Xiao Jingchen probably knew that his father would not give him a good job, so he proposed to work in the Ministry of Justice.

This is also very good. If Xiao Jingchen does his job well, the Empress Dowager will be happy, and the Emperor will be happy too. They can also win over Xiao Jingchen in the future.

Xiao Jingchen still has some people in his hands. Although they don't know what else Xiao Jingchen has besides the private army given by his grandfather, Xiao Jingchen has been able to hide for so many years without being discovered by his father, which shows that he is very capable. They will also try to win over Xiao Jingchen in the future.

When the time comes, I will ascend to the throne and then deal with Xiao Jingchen.

The emperor will not give Xiao Jingchen the opportunity to compete with them for the position of crown prince. The emperor is doing this now because he wants to find out Xiao Jingchen's strength and get rid of all of Xiao Jingchen's people.

On the surface, there are still some people from Xiao Jingchen's maternal grandfather's family, as well as the former Prince's tutor and some other ministers. However, over the years, his father has demoted these people or transferred them to unimportant positions.

Even if these people unite now, they won't be able to make much difference.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li and Lord Yang sent someone to deliver an urgent memorial, saying that the rebellion in South Vietnam has won several consecutive victories and destroyed the troops of several counties of the rebels..."

The Assistant Minister of War began to report on the situation in South Vietnam.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Prince Chen and nodded happily.

"Well done. When they come back, I will reward them generously."

The ministers of the Li and Yang families were delighted to hear the emperor's words. Prince Yin and Prince Ze also had smiles on their faces.

When Xiao Jingchen saw the emperor looking at him, a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't know that the emperor still doubted him. If it weren't for Commander Zhou, the jade pendants, and the birthmarks on his body, the emperor would never recognize him as Prince Chen. And because of the commotion in South Vietnam, he recognized Prince Chen, and the one in South Vietnam was fake. The emperor announced to the world that those who supported the fake Prince Chen would also leave the fake Prince Chen.

And those people have nothing to do with him.

Qinhou Mansion.

The old lady of the West Mansion and Mrs. Duan brought Gu Rong, Duan Zhen and Aunt Yang to the Qinhou Mansion.

"I've met my sister-in-law."

"Meet aunt and sister-in-law."

"Meet my great-aunt and great-aunt."

Old Madam Qin looked at these people and spoke.

"Get up."

The old lady of the West Mansion saw Qin Chen and said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, why didn't you go to the camp outside Beijing today?"

Duan said deliberately.

"Mother-in-law, Chen'er was injured a few days ago, and the emperor has allowed him to recuperate in the mansion."
