Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Chengyuan asked someone to find Hongshu to meet him.

Soon, as Li Chengyuan arrived at the central courtyard, Hongshu came.

"Your Highness!"

"Well, Hongshu, please help me write some visiting cards and send them to the homes of officials from various ministries. I want to visit them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Hongshu didn't ask why, but asked for details directly.

"Which officials did Your Highness send visiting cards to?"

"Well, let's just send one letter to each of the six ministries, the Shangshu and the Shilang, and the time is set within these two days!"

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll get ready right away!"

Sweet Potato responded and turned away.

Li Chengyuan returned to the study in the backyard, greeted Qingniao and Sang Wen, and then continued to copy Journey to the West by hand!

...

Following Li Chengyuan's instructions, Hongshu wrote the visiting cards in the morning and then had them delivered to each person's door!

Soon, by noon, this matter spread throughout the Kyoto officialdom.

...

The imperial palace, the bedroom.

Emperor Qing, who was reviewing memorials, looked up in surprise.

"He sent visiting cards to the homes of all the ministers and vice ministers of the six ministries?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"You little brat! You've finally made some progress!"

"Your Majesty, is the Third Prince trying to cast a wider net and catch more fish?"

Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "He's not trying to cast a wide net, but rather to conceal his intentions. I suspect he already has a courtier he likes, but doesn't want others to see it, so he sent invitations to all the ministers and vice ministers!"

However, this guy has quite a big appetite. The person he chose is actually either a minister or a vice minister... hehe...

Eunuch Hou, tell Chen Pingping to closely monitor Li Chengyuan's every move. I want to know everything they said!

"I will go and pass on the order right away!"

...

In fact, Emperor Qing guessed correctly. Li Chengyuan wanted to conceal the truth, but he did not do it just to conceal the truth!

After lunch at noon, Li Chengyuan took the gift prepared for him by sweet potato and started visiting every household!

According to the rules, he first went to see the Minister of Personnel.

As a result, the Minister of Personnel became "sick".

As soon as Li Chengyuan entered the courtyard, he saw the Minister of Personnel being carried out, looking very sick.

Li Chengyuan could see that the Minister of Personnel was pretending to be sick.

But the other person obviously didn't want to talk to him any more, and he couldn't force her.

So after some polite exchanges, Li Chengyuan went to the second house - the home of Zhao Wencheng, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

Zhao Wencheng was naturally Li Chengyuan's target for concealing the truth.

What made Li Chengyuan feel relieved was that Zhao Wencheng was not pretending to be sick. Zhao Wencheng, who was upright in character, would not do such a thing.

But he saw that Li Chengyuan did not have a good expression on his face, but instead had a businesslike attitude.

Li Chengyuan was worried that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he didn't tell him too much!

However, before leaving, Li Chengyuan secretly slipped a note to Zhao Wencheng, and then whispered the word "your son" in Zhao Wencheng's ear.

This made Zhao Wencheng, who originally wanted to refuse the note, suddenly look frozen. After hesitating for a moment, he finally hid the note.

.....

Li Chengyuan didn't stay at Zhao Wencheng's house for long.

In just a quarter of an hour, he left the Zhao Mansion and headed straight for the next target!

.......

In this way, Li Chengyuan visited nine mansions in a row in one afternoon, and visited the mansions of the Shangshu and Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Works and Ministry of Justice.

Most of these people, like the Minister of Revenue and Zhao Wencheng, either pretended to be sick and did not see the meeting, or pretended to be submissive.

There were only two people left, their attitudes were a little ambiguous, but they didn't dare to speak directly.

There is no way. His Majesty is in his prime now, and no one dares to stand on the prince's side at this time.

Especially high-ranking officials like them!

The prince has been in the court for many years, but he does not have any confidants among the six ministers.

There is only one Guo Youzhi, and he is the eldest princess's confidant.

The same goes for Li Chengze. He is better than the crown prince, but he is also colluding in secret and dares not to approach the heads of the six ministries openly.

They are not like Li Chengyuan, a "fool" who goes for the biggest one right away!

......

It can be said that Li Chengyuan gained almost nothing that afternoon.

But Li Chengyuan was not disappointed at all. He slept soundly at night holding the blue bird.

But he slept soundly, but Zhao Wencheng, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, could not sleep because of him.

After Li Chengyuan left in the afternoon, Zhao Wencheng secretly read the note Li Chengyuan gave him.

The content on the note was simple.

Li Chengyuan said that he had a magic medicine that could cure his son's leg disease.

Just this one sentence, nothing else.

But just this one sentence is enough to clarify many issues.

Li Chengyuan’s medicine is definitely not free.

Zhao Wencheng knew very well that if he accepted the medicine, he would have to surrender to the Third Prince!

This is no small thing!

Not to mention that this would go against his principles as an official, more importantly, if the third prince is unreliable, it would be a disaster for the Zhao family.

Zhao Wencheng cannot afford to be careless.

Compared to this, Zhao Wencheng had no doubt about whether the medicine Li Chengyuan mentioned really existed.

Because of this kind of thing, Li Chengyuan would not joke.

Even if Li Chengyuan was a prince, he would never dare to tease a minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

Chapter 42: Chen Pingping is about to return home to visit relatives?

One night passed.

The city of Kyoto is still as bustling as ever.

But the atmosphere in Nanqing officialdom today seemed a little strange.

The news that Li Chengyuan visited the ministers and vice ministers of various ministries in turn yesterday had already spread throughout the officialdom.

Everyone was talking about this matter.

Everyone knows that Li Chengyuan is trying to win over court officials.

But what everyone doesn’t understand is, isn’t Li Chengyuan a little too arrogant?

In the past, when the princes tried to win over court officials, it was done in private.

Even the prince would not dare to be so blatant.

After all, His Majesty is still alive. As a prince, you dare to collude with court officials. Are you trying to rebel?

The more I look at this behavior, the more reckless it seems!

But unfortunately, the third prince is the chief talent of Nanqing and the future of Qing's literature!

How could such a talented person be a reckless man?

So what exactly is the third prince going to do?

This has left many people scratching their heads and unable to figure it out!

...

Not only ordinary officials, but even those who were visited were confused.

As for those ministers and vice ministers who had not yet been visited, not only did they not understand, they were even nervous and trembling!

If possible, they really wanted to say to Li Chengyuan: Don’t come over here!

It’s a pity that Li Chengyuan couldn’t hear their voices, and even if he could hear them, he wouldn’t be able to pay attention to them.

The next morning, Li Chengyuan got in his carriage and started his visit again in high spirits.

As expected, the visit was full of chaos!

......

Qin Wangfu.

Li Chengze sat barefoot in a chair, his face full of confusion.

"Bi'an, what do you think the third brother is going to do?"

Xie Bian shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I can't figure it out either. Logically speaking, even if the Third Prince wanted to win over the court officials, he wouldn't do it so obviously, right?

He had previously organized poetry gatherings and was familiar with the children of those officials.

If he's interested in someone, wouldn't it be better to secretly establish a relationship with them through their children?"
