Chapter 208: I want to ask for credit for someone In just three years, the prince had sold more than 20 or 30 eighth and ninth grade minor official positions in various places through Tang Bingfu! What about the stupid son of a landlord, the businessman who couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar...As long as the other party is willing to pay, the prince is almost not picky at all! He may have felt that such small local officials could not get involved in the government affairs, so it didn't matter if they were useless, as they would not cause any waves at all. He only cared about that little bit of silver. But he never thought that the lower the rank of the local official, the closer he is to the common people! Those useless people who can never become officials through normal imperial examinations and can only get promoted through crooked means like buying official positions, how can they be good people and do anything practical for the people? The common people don’t know what selling official positions means, they only know that all the officials they see are bastards. Under such circumstances, how could the people have any good feelings towards the imperial court? The people are the cornerstone of a country! How far can a court that causes complaints from the people go? By doing this, the prince is clearly destroying the foundation of Tiansheng! This is the prince he had taught with great effort. Emperor Xuanwu felt dizzy when he thought about how he almost handed over the Yun family's empire to such a bastard. Fortunately, it's not too late. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he would report to his ancestors after a hundred years when he went to the underworld! With his hands on the edge of the dragon table, Emperor Xuanwu, who had been so angry at the crown prince that his body swayed slightly, sat back on the dragon chair and took two deep breaths.
Hearing the prince calling out "Father" again, he interrupted without hesitation and said: "Come here, take the Crown Prince back to the East Palace and put him under house arrest. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the East Palace!" "Father, I am innocent. I am really innocent, Father!" Last time, the house arrest at least had a time limit, but this time there is no time limit at all. How long will he be imprisoned? Wait till the emperor deposes the crown prince?! The prince frantically tried to plead for himself, but Emperor Xuanwu was determined not to listen to him any more and simply ordered the imperial guards to drag the man away. It really undermines the prince's dignity. But it doesn't matter. Because Emperor Xuanwu really intended to keep the crown prince in prison until he was deposed. If possible, he even wanted to issue an order to depose the crown prince right now! But in the previous ten years, with his connivance, the prince's power was indeed quite good. With his ability as the right prime minister, it is not impossible for him to find a scapegoat to take all the blame for the prince's crime this time. That old guy could even turn around and cause trouble for Xiaowu after saving the prince from danger! Rather than being happy now and causing trouble for myself and Xiaowu later, It would be better to put the prince under house arrest first. As long as he doesn't make any big moves, the Right Prime Minister will still hold on to hope and won't dare to act rashly. He could just turn a blind eye and have some free time. He just had to wait for the Crown Princess to give birth to her baby in a few months, catch the Right Prime Minister off guard, and then he could depose the Crown Prince. Emperor Xuanwu pressed his brows wearily: "Little five." "My son is here!" Seeing with his own eyes the former most favored prince and Tang Bingfu, who had long been frightened and speechless, being dragged away by his furious father, Yun Shu was still sighing inwardly. Suddenly she heard her name being called, and she quickly looked up and responded. Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu did not do such a shameless thing as venting his anger on others. He just ordered calmly: "The cement is good. I will leave the task of rebuilding the embankment outside the city to you. I want to see the results in a month."
"I was just about to tell you about this." Although Emperor Xuanwu seems to need some quiet time alone, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Yun Shu took a step towards the middle and said seriously: "Making large amounts of cement is not an easy task. If Xiao Yuanzi were to do it alone, one month would definitely not be enough. So I thought about whether I could build a temporary cement factory outside the city and recruit a group of people to burn the cement for building the dam. If there is still a need, we will repair this cement factory.” "That's right." Emperor Xuanwu nodded and agreed very straightforwardly: "How much silver do you need? Just ask the Ministry of Revenue for it." "Thank you, Father!" The first thing was solved smoothly, and Yun Shu took the opportunity to bring up another thing she had promised Xiao Yuanzi: "Besides that, I would like to commend someone else." Please take credit? Yun Chuhuan's eyes lit up, and his chest straightened up immediately—— It was he who dug up all the evidence of the crimes committed by the Crown Prince and his brothers in Tang Bingfu's backyard today! If the fifth sister wants to ask for credit for someone now, then she must be helping him! Yun Chuhuan was already prepared to be praised. As a result, the next second, he heard his fifth sister utter another name very clearly. "The curved plow and waterwheel in the past and cement today are all rare and valuable things. But Jiang Yuanbao, who created these things, still doesn't have a proper official position. I think this is really unfair to him." "Jiang Yuanbao?" Emperor Xuanwu felt a little unfamiliar with the name: "Who?" "That's Xiao Yuanzi. Jiang Yuanbao was his original name." He was afraid that Emperor Xuanwu would be concerned about the fact that Xiao Yuanzi had been a eunuch and would not agree to grant him an official position. After Yun Shu finished explaining, he continued: “I know that according to common sense, Jiang Yuanbao cannot serve as an official in the court with his status. But the achievements made by Jiang Yuanbao are not something that ordinary people can achieve. What the Tiansheng Dynasty lacks most nowadays is capable people like Jiang Yuanbao. If you, Father, can grant Jiang Yuanbao an official position, let the world know that as long as one can make something truly useful to the Tiansheng Dynasty, no matter what his background or status is, he can get an enviable reward and even achieve a class leap. I believe that more and more 'Jiang Yuanbao' will appear in the future, helping Tiansheng Dynasty to achieve unprecedented prosperity! " An unprecedented era of prosperity? Emperor Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised that his own daughter could say such words. He really deserves to be the new crown prince he has chosen! I was blinded by the prince before. Fortunately, God still had mercy on him and sent him an heir whose ability and vision far surpassed those of the prince!
Emperor Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction: "Saint An's words make sense. I will issue an edict tomorrow to appoint that young Yuan... Jiang Yuanbao as a doctor in the Ministry of Works. Besides that, he will be in charge of your temporary cement factory for the time being."
