My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 146 The Battle of Inheritance
Afterwards, Shen Yuan was puzzled.

It's just a prince choosing a concubine. Even if Qin Minyan is really accused of being the fourth prince's true concubine, it's not worth it for all the princes to attack her and disturb the marriage.

Although the Qin family has a strong connection with the saints, it is not enough to influence the emperor and establish a heir apparent. Why are these people so crazy?

There must be some inside information that I haven't learned yet.

So, Shen Yuan asked Qin He again.

Qin He whispered to her, "The selection of civil servants every four years is coming soon. There is news from the inner court that your Majesty intends to let dad join the cabinet this time."

"Join the cabinet?" Shen Yuan was dumbfounded. While being extremely shocked, he also understood the cause and effect of everything.

No wonder the good concubine and her son tried every possible means to ruin Qin Minyan's marriage, and wanted to put her name on the list of concubines... No wonder the princes mobilized all their forces to plot against an old woman, and they also wanted to disturb the marriage between the fourth prince and the Qin family.

There are five auxiliary ministers in the cabinet of this dynasty: left prime minister, right prime minister, governor participating in politics, privy envoy, and Hanlin bachelor.

Among them, Lord Wen, the governor who participated in politics, is already old and has long wanted to retire and return to his hometown. Now he is sick and unable to go to court, so his retirement is inevitable.

The position of cabinet minister is vacant, who is not watching with covetous eyes?
Now it is reported that Wenxinhou Qin Yan is also on your Majesty's cabinet list, and with your Majesty's trust and love for him, it is very likely that he will replace Lord Wen and become the next cabinet minister.

Once you join the cabinet, you will naturally have a say in the matter of establishing the governor.

No wonder the princes were fighting like black-eyed chickens this time over the selection of the fourth prince's concubine. If a high-ranking cabinet minister was an in-law, it would be more than just an added advantage.

What's more, the Qin family is not an ordinary powerful family.

In the harem, there is the Queen Mother, who regards Princess Hetai, the emperor's niece, as her own; in the former dynasty, Qin Yan and his son are the emperor's ministers.

Behind the Qin family are the Xie family of the Duke of Fuguo, the Zheng family of a century-old family in Longxi, the Shen family of the Minister of Household Affairs, the Deng family of General Xuanwei, and the Lu family of Sui'anbo... Just pick any in-law and they are all well-known figures. , there is a force in both the DPRK and the DPRK.

If we can get the support of the Qin family, we will have at least a [-]% chance of winning the position of crown prince.

So how could such a huge advantage be allowed to go to the fourth prince in vain?Naturally, the princes would rather maintain the current situation in which the Qin family is only loyal to the emperor and not siding with the emperor. At least in this way, everyone will still stand on the original starting line and have the ability to compete.

The fifth prince, who was following the fourth prince to select a concubine, was frightened by the force. How could he dare to pick up the concubine with the hope that he would gain something? Open this place of right and wrong.

In mid-March, the prince's concubine selection ceremony, which took more than a month, finally came to an end.

The fourth prince's principal concubine is the daughter of the Hai family chosen by his maternal family, and the fifth prince's principal concubine is a direct descendant of the Bachelor's House of Baohe Palace.

As soon as the news came out, all the forces breathed a sigh of relief.

This is very good, no one takes advantage of it, this is the best situation.

Right now, everyone is eagerly awaiting the arrival of April.

In the civil service selection held every four years, who can replace Mr. Wen and become the new cabinet minister?

The sixth day of the fifth lunar month was originally a very ordinary day, but the various orders announced by Emperor Qianyuan in the morning were like huge rocks being thrown into the calm water, causing turbulent waves.

As expected, Marquis Wenxin, Qin Yan, replaced Lord Wen and became the new governor participating in politics and took charge of the cabinet.

What disturbed everyone was the emperor's other two appointments.

Except for the six, seven, and eight young princes who have not yet been crowned princes, the other five princes have all been granted the title of prince and moved out of the palace to live in separate mansions.

In addition, Master Di, a scholar of Hanlin University, was conferred the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master, and Master Gao, the Grand Lieutenant, was conferred the title of Prince and Grand Tutor. These two men respectively represent the heads of civil and military officials, and they were also conferred the title of Master of the Crown Prince at the same time. All of this was clearly disclosed to the outside world. With a message:
Your Majesty is going to establish a throne!

The battle for the crown prince has officially begun!
