Greetings, Ninth Uncle

After Cheng Yujin made a stunning show at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Queen Yang was on guard and never gave Cheng Yujin another chance. Cheng Yujin didn't care either. Governing the harem was not the responsibility of the Crown Princess. She was light and easy, so why bother with Empress Yang?

However, during this time, Li Chengjing's progress in the court was much smoother than Cheng Yujin's. Li Chengjing was "recovered" for a year. During this year, there was nothing wrong with assisting in political affairs. He did not take credit, but when the emperor asked him, he could give straight to the point opinions every time. Although it is inconvenient for the cabinet to express their position, except for Yang Shoufu, the rest of the cabinet elders are mostly satisfied when they mention the prince.

In the six months he was in the Ministry of Industry, he had cleaned up the top and bottom, all the projects were progressing in an orderly manner, and the old files that had been squeezed for many years were also sorted out. The minister of the Ministry of Industry praised the prince the most, and he also praised him in private.

After a long time, I see people's hearts. Since others don't believe it, they will prove it little by little. Donggong never strives for merit, but as long as it is in the hands of Donggong, they can do it well.

Li Chengjing can be said to be the prince in everyone's ideals. As the eldest son, he is gentle, elegant and noble, but he is also a gentleman. At the same time, he is pure and self-righteous, not greedy for money or sex, has a dignified and virtuous prince concubine, is filial to the emperor's father and son, and is respectful to the second prince's brother. The identity is justified, the virtue is impeccable, and most importantly, the emperor supports.

Such a prince is truly impeccable. The courtiers changed their positions unknowingly.

At the beginning, the emperor defied all opinions, and did not appoint another prince for 14 years. When the prince came back, he would take him with him to govern. In fact, it was quite obvious who the emperor was facing.

This is the most important. The jealousy between rulers and ministers, and the struggle for the throne were the origin of the chaos of many dynasties. Now that the emperor and the prince get along with each other in harmony, it is a good thing that many courtiers can't hope for. The Yang family is indeed powerful, but in this world, after all, the surname is Li.

To put it more crudely, how long can Empress Dowager Yang live, but how long can the Crown Prince live? Not to mention that the prince has the support of the emperor, who should he turn to? Isn't it obvious.

The courtiers silently had ideas in their hearts, but Li Chengjing, the prince, was almost perfect, but there was something wrong.

He has no children yet.

After all, the prince is the heir, and for the stability of the country, the emperor must establish the next heir, the prince. In the same way, the prince should also prepare the country for the continuation of the next imperial power as early as possible.

Only half a year later, various people asked Cheng Yujin if she was pregnant. Cheng Yujin is like this, presumably Li Chengjing is under even more pressure. In particular, this is not a private matter of husband and wife. Whether the prince has a son or not can be discussed in the early court as a major matter of the court.

Giving birth to a child is really all-round without dead ends, and now Cheng Yujin has a headache when she hears these words. She also thought about it, but pregnancy is something that she can't arrange according to her plan.

Cheng Yujin thought that it would be New Year's Eve in a month. At that time, the banquets in the capital would be one after another, and many elderly women would gather together, and she would be induced to give birth to a child again.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Cheng Yujin didn't think about these worrying things. She had finished reading the gift list. She put the pen away and sorted the gift list one by one. Halfway through, I heard the palace servants singing outside. When Cheng Yujin got up, Li Chengjing had already walked in.

"Your Highness."

Li Chengjing raised his hand and motioned her to get up. He was wearing a heavy cloak with snow grains left on it, and it could be seen that the wind and the snow were all the way. Cheng Yujin stepped forward, patted the snow on Li Chengjing's shoulder with her own hands, untied the tie, removed the cape for him, and turned around to give it to the maid behind him.

Li Chengjing untied his heavy body. He took Cheng Yujin's hand and led her inside: "The door is leaking, and your clothes are thin. Don't stand in the wind."

Cheng Yujin followed his strength, and while walking, she also used the other hand to test the temperature on the back of Li Chengjing's hand: "His Royal Highness's hand is so cold, if you meet someone on the road, why did you delay outside for so long?"

"Well." Li Chengjing nodded, "I met the Minister of War outside the Qianqing Palace, so I said a few more words."

Cheng Yujin realized that it turned out to be the Minister of War. The palace maid had already put on hot tea at this time. Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing sat opposite each other on the red sandalwood carving of the Lotus Flower. Cheng Yujin took an orange, peeled it and asked, "Does your Highness have something on your mind?"

Li Chengjing sighed softly, and sure enough, Cheng Yujin understood him best. After he came in, he just mentioned a sentence, and Cheng Yujin guessed it.

Li Chengjing said: "I'm thinking about the DPRK. I've been absent for too long. Only the support of the Ministry of Industry is not enough."

Of course this is not enough. Among the six departments, the Ministry of Personnel is the most expensive, followed by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry is the lower level, and is regarded by the civil servants as a place to be relegated. It is true that Li Chengjing has accumulated fame in the Ministry of Industry, but for the entire court, he still has no right to speak.

Under the control of Yang Fucheng's cabinet, Li Chengjing couldn't eat a fat man in one bite. He had to start with the six ministries first, and then slowly win the support of other cabinet elders. However, the Ministry of Officials of the Sixth Division was Yang Fucheng's base camp, and the Ministry of Household was also firmly controlled by the Yang family.

However, he is a prince, and this identity is a reliance and a shackle. As a prince, although he can participate in politics justifiably, he also has many concerns when he acts.
