Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Is this a gift from my mother?

This is too fragrant, right?

And it came just in time!

All along, the reason why Li Chengyuan did not dare to openly cultivate his followers was because he was afraid of showing his weakness!

He had never participated in politics in either of his lives, so he had almost no political experience.

His vision and experience are better than those of people of this era.

But with his limited knowledge and experience, he can still brag a little.

If he really wanted to discuss officialdom with the elite ministers of this era, he would be exposed as weak within ten sentences.

Of course, as a prince, Li Chengyuan was not required to be a political elite.

All a leader needs to do is know how to use people.

But the premise is that he can't be a complete fool!

People are talking to you about state governance, but you end up chatting with them about family matters. Why should they obey you?

What's more, Li Chengyuan's position is already somewhat embarrassing.

In terms of status, he is not as good as the prince, and in terms of ability, he is not as good as Li Chengze. So he can't just rely on breaking into the procuratorate and writing poems to win over the officials, right?

Of course, if he really did this, there would definitely be many people who would join him.

However, those who come to seek refuge are probably those opportunists in various government offices!

Li Chengyuan had also worried about this before.

His previous idea was to use his experience of two lifetimes to try his best to deal with them.

If you really can't fool them, just pretend to be willing to learn.

Many capable ministers like him, a lord who knows nothing but is willing to be obedient and learn humbly, because this way, they can satisfy their vanity and realize their ambitions!

This is exactly the group of people Li Chengyuan wants.

Anyway, let’s build the shelf first.

Of course, this is what I thought before.

No more now!

Now he has Li Shimin's experience in governing the country and Li Jing's military ability...

It's not that Li Chengyuan is arrogant.

He felt that in terms of experience in governing a country, he could compete with Emperor Qing.

Even after he has completely digested Li Shimin's experience in governing the country, let alone Emperor Qing... he can even work hard to become the greatest emperor in the world!

In fact, Emperor Qing’s experience in governing the country is just average.

Ye Qingmei deserves at least 90% of the credit for Qing Kingdom’s current strength!

If Ye Qingmei had not helped Emperor Qing accumulate so much capital, the Qing Kingdom would never have developed to its current state.

Emperor Qing's strengths lie in his scheming and tactics. In this regard, Li Chengyuan really needs to learn a lot from Emperor Qing.

.....

The rewards for governing experience and military capabilities alone were enough to satisfy Li Chengyuan.

As for the literary classics gift pack at the back, it’s just a bonus.

There are some classic articles by saints in it. Li Chengyuan can copy them to enhance his image as a literary master.

After all, a literary master cannot just write poetry. It is better for him to be able to write articles as well, otherwise he will not be able to meet the standards of the three immortal words.

In addition, as before, all literary classics rewarded by the system will be erased from Fan Xian's mind.

Li Chengyuan felt that if he continued to reward him like this, all the knowledge in Fan Xian's mind would be completely plucked out!

......

With Li Shimin's experience in governing the country, Li Chengyuan instantly became confident.

He was even a little impatient to talk with those ministers!

Li Chengyuan didn't have to wait long.

At three quarters past three in the morning, the first visitor arrived.

The person who came was quite important. He was Li Wenyong, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonies!

The official position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites was not high, only the fifth rank.

But his official position is very special!

The Ministry of Rites has been an important department of the imperial court since ancient times.

Even in some dynasties that attached great importance to etiquette, the Ministry of Rites could even be the head of the Six Ministries.

Of course, in most dynasties, the head of the Six Ministries was basically the Ministry of Personnel.

But for the prince, the Ministry of Rites is absolutely the top priority.

Because the Ministry of Rites was in charge of etiquette and the patriarchal system, in ancient dynasties, all actions had to follow the etiquette and legal system, and even the emperor could not overstep the line.

For example, if the old emperor passes away and the new emperor wants to succeed to the throne, the Ministry of Rites will need to take charge.

If the Ministry of Rites says that the new emperor is not qualified to succeed to the throne, then it would be a bit illogical and unreasonable for the new emperor to succeed to the throne!

Of course, the Ministry of Rites generally would not be so stubborn, but there might be special exceptions.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Rites does not seem to have much real power on the surface, it is responsible for the normal operation of the entire country under the regulation of etiquette and law!

Especially for the prince, whether he can successfully ascend the throne in the future depends on whether he can get the approval of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Chengyuan has been developing for such a long time that he has a foundation in almost every department.

There is Zhao Wencheng in the Ministry of Personnel, and he is now the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

There is Shen Zhui in the Ministry of Revenue, who is currently serving as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Revenue.

There is also Fan Jian. To a certain extent, the entire Ministry of Revenue is Li Chengyuan's political resource.

There is Cai Quan in the Ministry of Justice, and he is now the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice!

Although Zhou Shuhan of the Ministry of Works has been transferred to the position of prefect of Kyoto Prefecture, he has served in the Ministry of Works for more than ten years and must have a good network of connections.

So far, there are only the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and Li Chengyuan has no foundation.

The Ministry of War involves military power, which is Emperor Qing’s bottom line.

Unless the system rewards new subjects, Li Chengyuan will not touch them easily.

Only the Ministry of Rites is the department that Li Chengyuan needs to win over and cultivate power the most now!

......

Another point is that the first one to come was the Ministry of Rites.

It was hard for Li Chengyuan not to wonder whether Emperor Qing had arranged this.

A prince may not know how to govern a country, but he must understand etiquette and laws.

Therefore, this is most likely a test arranged for him by Emperor Qing!

If he can't pass the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Qing may completely give up on training him!

Of course, it is also possible that Li Chengyuan was overthinking it.

But even if it was Emperor Qing's arrangement, Li Chengyuan was not in vain.

He grew up in the palace and was no stranger to etiquette.

Now with the inheritance of Li Shimin, Li Chengyuan even dared to discuss etiquette with the Minister of Rites in the court!

As a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, he was confident that he could handle it!

...３7666..

In Qingyue Pavilion, Lin Wan'er, Fan Ruoruo, Sang Wen, and Lu Yi gathered together to play mahjong.

Just as the girls finished drawing their cards and Sang Wen hadn't finished sorting his cards, Lin Wan'er, the banker, pushed the cards in her hand down.

"Sorry, I messed up!"

The other three women: “???”

Fan Ruoruo turned her head and after checking, she said helplessly, "Sister Wan'er, didn't we agree that you can't use card skills!"

Because Lin Wan'er had nothing to play with since she was a child, she could only play Pai Gow with the maids.

Over time, Lin Wan'er developed an extraordinary card skill.

Any cards in her hand will become extremely obedient, almost any card she wants will come.

In the plot, even Fan Sizhe is not her match.

So naturally, Fan Ruoruo, Sang Wen and other girls couldn't beat her.

Yesterday they played Pai Gow, and in the end three of them lost and one won. Lin Wan'er, the winner, was embarrassed.

So she publicly promised that she would never use her card skills again.

That's why she was able to continue playing with everyone today.

Otherwise, no one would dare to play with her.

But Lin Wan'er was also surprised by this card, because...

"I'm useless!" Lin Wan'er said helplessly, "Believe me, I really don't have any card skills. I can't even remember the cards. I can only say that I was incredibly lucky this time!"

"Ah?" The girls looked at each other and couldn't help but smack their lips in surprise.

They all secretly sighed that Lin Wan'er's luck in gambling was really too good.

But Lin Wan'er did not lie. This was the first time she had won a game today.

So no one said anything, gave their money, and moved on to the next round.

"Hey? Why don't I see my cousin today? What is he busy with?"
