The third princess looked at him with a smile and said: "Master Cheng, you know that this knife is not easy to use. If you become my palace's knife, you will become enemies with most of the courtiers in the court. In the future, you will be remembered by these people." up."
Cheng Houtai naturally understood this reason, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I am the only one who obeys the orders of the third princess."
The third princess smiled with satisfaction: "I will protect you."
After she finished speaking, she added another sentence: "As a royal official, the most important thing is to serve His Majesty. Loyalty to the emperor is the long-term way."
What's the matter with Wang Shoufu winking and acting like Cao Yuli?
The third princess sneered, then raised her hand and waved and said: "Okay, you can go back, I will send you an order for something in the palace in the future."
"Thank you third princess."
Cheng Houtai walked out, covered in cold sweat, and his steps were frivolous. At this moment, he clearly realized that the third princess is not someone to be taken lightly.
Not long after Cheng Houtai left, Zhao Heng, the commander in charge of the Nine Dragons Division, was brought in. . .
When Zhao Heng saw the third princess, he immediately bowed his head respectfully. After all, the third princess was also his half master, so he has always been very respectful to the third princess.
"This subordinate has seen the third princess."
The third princess smiled and pointed to the seat in front of her, motioning for Zhao Heng to sit down.
Zhao Heng and the three princesses have had a few things together, and he knows that the princess in front of him and His Majesty act differently. In addition, he has watched His Majesty grow up since he was a child. affair.
So he knew that the three princesses acted very cruelly and bloodily, and never followed personal interests.
Zhao Heng is very jealous of the third princess, and will not underestimate her just because she is young.
"I don't know why the princess summoned the servants?"
The third princess didn't talk about summoning Zhao Heng, but talked about Zhao Heng's son: "I heard that Commander Zhao's son is now a Juren."
Zhao Heng didn't know why, so he quickly took orders: "Yes, the third princess."
"I heard that your son is currently serving as a county captain in Qinghe County."
"Yes, the third princess."
Although Zhao Heng is the commander of the Nine Dragons Division, his son is just a juren. He was recommended by his contacts to become a county lieutenant in Qinghe County. His wife also lives in Qinghe County with his son. Seeing that he is getting older, He is about to resign and leave the capital.
The reason why he still insists on being the commander of the Nine Dragons Department is that he is not reconciled. What is he not reconciled to? The Zhao family did not get up because of him. If his son is admitted to Jinshi, he still has a chance to be active. Well, the Ming Law of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that a person cannot be an official, so he can't do anything if he wants to. His family has never been on the battlefield and made military exploits, nor has he saved the emperor. Zhao Heng was very unwilling to stop like this, and always wanted to find an opportunity for his son to go further.
After hearing Zhao Heng's words, the third princess smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, so I can give you a chance now. If you can help me with something, when I ascend the throne, the first thing is , is to establish a recommendation agency, and then I will give your son a suitable position."
The third princess really wants to establish a recommendation agency. Of course, her original intention is to build an agency that recommends capable women, so that those capable and talented women can have full opportunities, because even if she becomes the queen princess, there is no way to let women Participating in scientific examinations and studying the Four Books and Five Classics started at an early age. In the past, few women had the opportunity to study, so she became the empress dowager, and she could not directly let women participate in the scientific examinations, but she could build a recommendation agency for talented people Women who are able to work in various places.
But these three princesses didn't plan to talk to Zhao Heng in detail.
After hearing what the third princess said, Zhao Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then he was very happy. Isn't this the opportunity he was waiting for?
He didn't need the third princess to go into details, but he knew the purpose of the third princess talking to him like this, wasn't it to let him cooperate with her in all actions?
In fact, this does not contradict His Majesty's will at all. His Majesty has already handed over the Nine Dragons Division to the Empress Empress, and the Empress Empress handed over the Nine Dragons Division to the Third Princess when the third princess was thirteen years old. Now it is regarded as obeying the master's order, which does not violate His Majesty's will.
Thinking about it, Zhao Heng knelt down respectfully: "The minister obeys the will of the third princess, and only the third princess will obey."
"Very well, you can go out. If I have any instructions later, I will send someone to notify you."
"Thank you third princess."
Zhao Heng turned around and walked out in big strides. When he finished helping the third princess, it was time for him to resign. At that time, his son would have a chance, and he had fulfilled the mission of the Zhao family. It would be up to his son in the future.
After Zhao Heng left, Qingshang came in from the outside to ask for instructions: "Third Princess, Master Wang is here."
The third princess nodded her head, motioning for her to invite people in.
Speaking of Mr. Wang Zhen, it is considered unlucky. He is originally from the Wang family. Yes, he and Wang Shoufu belong to the same family, but he is from a concubine, and Wang Shoufu is from a concubine. Originally, Wang Zhen was valued by His Majesty today, so he was transferred to the Kowloon Secretary was appointed as the right commander.
Later, Mr. Gao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, died of cerebral hemorrhage when he was old. The cabinet wanted a chief assistant. Mr. Wang was the most promising candidate at that time, but His Majesty could not let the Wang family have a commander of the Kowloon Division and a chief assistant. With the commander in hand, Wang Shoufu could not take the position and become the chief assistant of Dazhou, so Xiao Wenyu was a little embarrassed at the time, and was planning to transfer Wang Zhen to another place.
In the end, before Xiao Wenyu could make an order, Wang Zhen had an accident. One night, he fell from the carriage while drunk and broke his leg.
As soon as Xiao Wenyu heard the report, he knew that it was the work of the Wang family's direct branch, but it had already happened, so he temporarily pressed Wang Zhen's appointment and asked him to go home to raise his legs. The lord took over and became the chief assistant of Dazhou. Wang Zhen later healed his leg, but Wang Shoufu managed to transfer him to the army of the camp in the outskirts of the city, and became a fourth-rank general at leisure.
Can this be compared with the commander of the Kowloon Division? The close ministers in front of His Majesty, if there are useful people in the family, they can be valued by His Majesty, so as to drive the family, what is this now.
Wang Zhen had a hatred for Wang Shoufu, but there was nothing he could do with him, because Wang Shoufu was the chief assistant of Da Zhou, and he couldn't play him well.
So these years, Wang Zhen could only lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity. As soon as the third princess summoned him, he knew that his opportunity had come, so it came very quickly.
"I have seen the third princess."
The third princess sized up Wang Zhen. In fact, she knew that the reason why her father did not participate in the affairs of the Wang family was to leave Wang Zhen to her on purpose. Not only Wang Zhen, but Zhao Heng also left it to her to show her kindness.
"Get up, I see you, how do you feel in your heart?"
Wang really doesn't seem to have any hesitation between Cheng Houtai and Zhao Heng. He doesn't have any hesitation. Why can he count him like this as a descendant? As it should be.
Wang Zhen said fiercely while thinking: "The minister has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Immediately after he finished speaking, he handed over a thick account book to the third princess, which contained Wang Shoufu's account books of transactions over the years, as well as the secrets of each family's contacts, as well as some secrets that others did not know.
The third princess looked at Wang Zhen, smiled, and promised: "When I become the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will return to the Kowloon Division to be your left commander. I believe that you will not disappoint me."
In the Kowloon Division, the left commander is the highest-level commander, and even the right commander has to be sidelined. This position is often only held by confidantes.
Now that the third princess let him sit in this position, she regarded him as a confidant, Wang Zhen was overjoyed, and knelt down with a plop: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress."
