Girl, there's something wrong with you

What almost no one in the palace knew was that Concubine Ling had a big quarrel with her family when she went back to visit relatives recently.

Of course, just as Cheng Jinyang couldn't tell Ah Zhi what he was worried about, Cui Jinqi couldn't find anyone to talk to.

But she was still panicking after all, so she deliberately said some resentful words to hint that her husband would come to comfort her quickly.

If it were any other emperor in history, if he encountered such a willful and self-willed concubine, he would have been relegated to the cold palace long ago - of course, except for those in female pornographic novels.

Cheng Jinyang had a good temper after all, so he rushed over quickly.

Take Xing Yunzhi with you.

Seeing Yuan Zhi also coming over, Cui Xiaoniang felt a little depressed, but she still concealed her inner emotions very well and came over to greet her delicately:

"Your Majesty~"

"Jinqi." Seeing her polite smile, Cheng Jinyang couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he went over and hugged her.

Then Cui Xiaoniang's mood improved rapidly.

Xing Yunzhi watched silently from the side, thinking that she was already running for three years, how could this person still look like a child?

But then I thought about it, after all, Jin Yang likes her personality, so why should she force herself to mature?

"What happened?" Seeing that Cui Xiaoniang's mood was stable, Cheng Jinyang asked with concern.

Cui Jinqi sighed and said:

"It's nothing, they are just annoying things, so I won't worry Your Majesty."

Xing Yunzhi couldn't help it and laughed.

You used this excuse just now to try to fend me off, but now Cui Xiaoniang is perfunctory, right?

Sure enough, Cheng Jinyang was a little embarrassed, so he sneered:

"It must be those old ghosts from the Cui family... What did they tell you? Urged you to have a baby quickly? Asked you to introduce the clan girl into the palace? Or did they want your help to say something nice?"

"Both." Cui Xiaoniang said perfunctorily.

Cheng Jinyang was also speechless, what the hell is that?

Are you really planning to reach out to my harem?

Considering that the Cui family is a group of financial capitalists, it is understandable that they are so bold. This time they may be testing my bottom line.

If I don't cut off the claws of these dogs, then won't they instigate Cui Xiaoniang to interfere in politics? !

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinyang made a mental note.

After returning, he asked Cheng Yuexian to find an excuse to punish Cui Pushe.

Keeping the thought of teaching his father-in-law a lesson quietly deep in his heart, Cheng Jinyang continued chatting with Cui Xiaoniang and Yuan Zhi with a smile on his face.

……………………

After the small talk, my back and legs ached, but I felt refreshed.

Not forgetting the matter of rectifying his father-in-law, Cheng Jinyang went to find Sister Yuexian.

Yes, instead of summoning Yuexian, he went to find him in person. This would make him feel that he was a living person, rather than a god who sat on the throne and killed and snatched away all the people in the world.

Cheng Yuexian, now the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, the most important confidant leader around Cheng Jinyang, there are even rumors among the government and the public that this sister Yuexian is called "internal minister".

In fact, due to Cheng Jinyang's high trust in her, she even handed over many daily political affairs to her for "approval" first. Most of them could be directly replied to the cabinet. Only those who could not make decisions were handed over to Cheng Jinyang's desk—— Therefore, there is really nothing wrong with the nickname "Internal Minister".

Cheng Yuexian himself sneered at this and didn't even want to speak at all.

Just want to fish.

Seeing that Cheng Jinyang condescended to come to visit, Cheng Yuexian seized this opportunity and poured out the bitter water again:

"... I promised to let me go free after completing my duties, but what happened to my freedom? As a human king, your Majesty keeps your word, but breaks his word. Is this appropriate?"

"Ahem, isn't it because we haven't found a suitable successor?" Cheng Jinyang said shamelessly, "As for the promise, you have to know that there is a saying called 'resurrection of love'..."

"Are you going to catch me so that you can talk to me and squeeze me with all your strength?" Cheng Yuexian was furious.

"What kind of oppression?" Cheng Jinyang's old face turned red. Is it appropriate for us cousins ​​to say this? "This is about knowing people and being kind to them!"

"I'll let you mother!" Cheng Yuexian finally broke through.

"Calm down!" Cheng Jinyang said solemnly, "Cheng Yuexian, be careful what you say!"

Cheng Yuexian also immediately noticed that he had lost his composure, and quickly apologized humbly, and then said:

"...My lord, cough. I don't mean to offend Tianyan, but I am just too weak to do it. I stay up all night, straining my body and mind. Your Majesty, please take back your orders."

"It's not impossible to withdraw the appointment." Cheng Jinyang sighed, "It's just that there is no successor."

"Speaking of successors, I do have a candidate." Cheng Yuexian was silent for a moment and suddenly said.

"Who?" Cheng Jinyang said in surprise.

It's very difficult to find this successor. First of all, he must be highly trusted by me. If he doesn't trust me, it will definitely not work.

Secondly, administrative ability also needs to be passed. How can it be so easy to be an internal minister?

Finally, it must be easy to control without any risk of interference.

For example, if Xing Yunzhi is considered to take over, she is suspected of being influenced by the Xing family in Hejian. However, the Xing family has already become a behemoth through the prestige of the Yipin family. Such an appointment is definitely not suitable.

In other words, the other party must keep a distance from the current eight major families, and must have a high degree of trust... These two conditions can filter out the vast majority of people, because Cheng Jinyang is currently relatively familiar with the gentry, except for the eight major families. Of the people, only members of the Cheng clan in the capital of God are left.

Cousin Cheng Huaiyan, aside from his poor rhetoric, his abilities are limited to the management of military talents, and he is not good at political affairs.

Others in the clan don’t seem to have any suitable candidates...

"How about Xie Lingjiang?" Cheng Yuexian said suddenly.

"Xie Lingjiang?" Cheng Jinyang looked strange when he heard this, "She shouldn't be able to do it at her age."

If I remember correctly, is she 8 or 9 years old now?

"You are still young, you can come here to train him first." Cheng Yuexian said calmly, "Gan Luo Twelve can still be the prime minister. Besides, are you worried about the Xie family?"

"There's nothing to worry about." Cheng Jinyang pondered.

When he first took over the Cheng family in the divine capital, the first noble families to bet on him were the Wang family and the Xie family.

Because the threat from the Wang family is too great, in recent years, I have also deliberately supported the Xie family to balance it.

Even according to the gentry circle, the gentry now seems to have two political banners.

The Wang family wants the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats to share the world, and the Xie family wants to assist the emperor in centralizing power.

Therefore, Xie's side was actually a nail to break into the gentry circle and use it to control the Wang family and even the Eight Great Families - almost the same reason as the previous emperor married Yu Wenjun and reused the Yanling Yu family.

Wait, if you refer to that, doesn't it mean that you can use Xie Lingjiang to further improve Xie's trustworthiness...

Cheng Jinyang's thoughts were racing, and then he suddenly woke up.

what! Xie Lingjiang is not yet 10 years old! You beast!
