Li Yan and the Queen sat in the Peony Pavilion. After a long time of silence, the Queen said: "I'd better go and see Chongjiu and talk to him. He can't always be like this. He has a bad temper and offended everyone. What should I do in the future? I'll worry about him even if I think about it. ≤"

If someone else is an emperor or an empress, there is no need to be afraid of offending any ministers. Like Empress Dugu, if any ministers are disobedient, then they can repair them. Anyway, those who can stay in the court are all listened to her. Some ministers are even very obedient, but if they are not quick to do things, she will also repair them, and they will not think about what the ministers think.

But Li Yan and the Queen were not like this. In the past years, they had lost everything and have finally taken it back. But they have not yet settled down. What the ministers think, they are very concerned about it, and are afraid that everything they have won will be lost again. They are old and can no longer withstand the tossing.

When the queen heard that she was afraid that Li Chongjiu would offend the minister, Li Yan sighed and said, "Mutuality is the most important thing. You really want to talk to Chongjiu. His temper really needs to be changed."

After thinking about it, Li Yan said again: "However, a kind mother often defeats her son. If you, a mother, treats your child too well, probably Chongjiu will not take what he says, so when it is time to be strict, you still have to be strict."

The queen had already stood up, and when she heard Li Yan say this, she sat down again and said, "I can't be strict with my son. If you want to be strict with him, why don't you go by yourself, but let me be this evil person. I think I'll still be my kind mother, and you go and be your strict father!"

Li Yan sighed, stood up, and said, "Well, then I'll be this strict father! Alas, I really want to sit down. I can't drink tea, and Chongjiu is not worry-free."

He slowly walked out of the Peony Pavilion, and the little eunuch quickly prepared a walk for him and carried him to the East Palace.

The queen sat alone. She thought for a while and said that she had left Chang'an for too long and had not seen her son for more than ten years. She, the mother, did not do anything to do to say that she was guilty of her son's growth. If it weren't for this, she would not have endured it for so long with Li Chongjiu's constant misconduct.

I have to find a good teacher for my son. Even if the teacher’s choice is unsure for a while, it is necessary to find a partner for my son.

The queen wanted to find a companion for Li Chongjiu, but she didn't have a teacher yet, so she found a companion for her first. It seemed a bit difficult. She thought for a long time and felt that she really couldn't think of anyone who was about the same age as Li Chongjiu. Even if she thought of a few in her mind, she didn't know her temper and could not send it to Li Chongjiu rashly.

Then I can only find a minister first and let this minister teach Li Chongjiu something about the court. Others' queens couldn't imagine it, but she still knew Wu Youren. Of course, the so-called understanding was just a little more than other ministers.

The queen thought to herself: "Wu Youren used to be a worker in Fengge, and was a central servant. She is now the Minister of Personnel. She has some personal relationships with Yang Ze, but she has not defected to Yang Ze, so he should be the best candidate."

Thinking of starting to do it, the queen called a little eunuch and said, "Go, go and find Wu Youren immediately, and he is the Minister of Personnel."

The little eunuch quickly agreed and quickly walked out of the palace to find Wu Youren. He was not like the people sent by Li Chongjiu. Li Chongjiu sent the little eunuch to find Wu Youren, but the little eunuch had gone where he ran, but this little eunuch was sent by the queen, and he didn't dare to delay any time.

In fact, it would be too easy to find Wu Youren. Now is an extraordinary period. Wu Youren has just become the Minister of Personnel. How could he go anywhere else? Of course, he was in the Ministry of Personnel.

Wu Youren sat in the main hall of the Ministry of Personnel. After the major case, he had a full set of official uniforms and a cup of tea was placed in front of him, but Wu Youren was a little dazed and was thinking about his thoughts.

He is the Minister of Personnel and has his own separate office room. However, he still likes to stay in the lobby and likes the feeling of being arrogant. However, he has been quite upset these days because he cannot enter the palace or go to the emperor's imperial study room to report. Although he has become the Minister of the House, he feels that it is not as convenient as seeing the emperor when he was a sacrificial servant.

For him, who was a servant in Fengge, whether he could see the emperor often and let the emperor remember that he was the key to whether he could reach the top of the minister. Otherwise, he would not even be able to see the emperor, so how could he understand the superior intention? He could not figure out the superior intention. Not to mention reaching the top, even the ministers might not be able to be treated for a long time. Maybe one day he would be dismissed from office and go home.

Wu Youren picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and thought to himself: "I have formed an alliance with the prince, but why hasn't the prince come to me these days? In this extraordinary period, he should have many things to ask me! Alas, it's a pity that I can't enter the palace, and someone must summon me. If I can do it like before, I will enter the palace whenever I want."

He felt a little disappointed, but just when he was lost, someone outside said, "Sir Shangshu, someone has come from the palace, I say, "Sir, you want to go into the palace!"

Wu Youren said with a roar, and he stood up. His Highness the Crown Prince finally sent someone to find him. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince had good patience and was even more calmer than himself. It took several days before he saw him, and he almost couldn't help it.

He quickly walked out of the lobby and saw that there was indeed a little eunuch standing outside. The little eunuch ran away with a sweat on his face, and was wiping his sweat with his sleeves!

The little eunuchs in the palace must have a good relationship. Wu Youren knew the importance of being a good person and being a little devil. He smiled and took out a small piece of silver cake from his arms and weighed it. It was estimated that the small piece of silver cake was worth at least two or three cents, and it was definitely a reward for money. He stuffed the silver cake into the hands of the little eunuch.

When the young eunuch received the silver cake, his eyes lit up instantly. He was a eunuch and was destined to have no wife or children, so he especially likes yellow and white things. However, his status was too low before, and he even had few chances to leave the palace, let alone collect benefits.

The little eunuch quickly saluted Wu Youren and said, "Shangshu Wu, the Empress wants you to go to the palace now. If you have something to say to you."

"Ah? It's the Empress, not the Prince's Highness?" Wu Youren was stunned. Although the Queen is more important than the Prince, for him, the Prince can help him reach the top of the ministers better. And it will last longer.

But why is the queen not the prince? Is the prince still playing calm and composed? This is too calm, too calm!

He didn't know that Li Chongjiu could not send anyone to find him. The prince was fooled by the little eunuchs. He could only think that Li Chongjiu had forgotten him, and could not bear it, and began to suspicion.

Wu Youren and the little eunuch entered the palace. The Ministry of Personnel's yamen was not far from the palace, so he could just walk. When passing by the square in front of the palace, Wu Youren saw that the place where Li Yan and the Queen laid the foundation for the sky monument last time had already been laid. He didn't know how to build the monument, but judging from the current construction situation, construction has already started.

The little eunuch got the benefits and talked too much. He said to Wu Youren: "Shangshu Wu, you are not from the Ministry of Works, so you don't know how hard it is to build the monument..."

Wu Youren thought to himself: "You are not from the Ministry of Works. Could it be that you will know?"

The little eunuch said again: "If you want to say that the sky monument was built in front of the palace gate, no matter what, we, the people in the palace, have to give us some opinions, but the people from the Ministry of Works do not ask us, and we have no opinions. When they build the monument, it is said that they will achieve twice the result with half the effort..."

"It's time to get half the result with twice the effort!" Wu Youren smiled and said, "Young master is right. You should ask your palace people about this project."

The little eunuch said this. He simply wanted to tell the queen through Wu Youren's mouth and let them come to the construction site to supervise. This would make it easier to get benefits. Wu Youren certainly understood, but he thought that it would be better to tell Li Chongjiu than to tell the queen, and then Li Chongjiu told the queen that this would also be better to sell the little eunuchs in the palace, so that the little eunuchs could move closer to Li Chongjiu.

As he spoke, the two entered the palace and headed straight to the Peony Garden. The Peony Garden belonged to the category of the forbidden palace behind. However, because the queen was summoned, Wu Youren could still come in. When he entered the Peony Garden, he saw the queen dozing in the pavilion, he hurried forward to salute and wait for the queen to ask questions.

When the queen saw Wu Youren coming, she stopped drowsy and asked directly: "Wu Aiqing, you have been in the capital for a long time. I guess you had had contact with the prince before, right?"

Wu Youren thought to himself: "Your son doesn't interact with anyone. Besides, why did I deal with him before? Just a waste. Well, of course, it's not a waste now, it's the prince."

He nodded and said, "When I say to the Empress, His Highness, in the past, in order to prevent the persecution of the eldest princess and the King of Linzi, His Royal Highness rarely interacted with ministers. However, every time he entered the city, he could see him, and he was more familiar with him than other officials."

His words were very sloppy. As long as Li Chongjiu entered the city, there must be something wrong, and it must be related to Queen Dugu. He basically participated in some ceremonies. As the central sect in the Guan Pavilion, Wu Youren could see Li Chongjiu every time. And what he said was not familiar, but more familiar than others. With comparison, there would be something tricky in his words.

But the queen did not hear the twists and turns in her words, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since Wu Aiqing is familiar with the prince, then you can teach him some things in the court first. You are the Minister of Personnel and know the most about officials. You should often tell the prince that you are given the privilege of walking in and out of the Eastern Palace at any time."

Wu Youren's eyes lit up. With the words of the queen, he could meet Li Chongjiu whenever he wanted to see him. Of course, it was limited to any time during the day. The gate of the palace was locked at night, and foreign ministers were not allowed to spend the night in the palace.

"I obey the order." Wu Youren bowed and agreed.

The queen said again: "I want to change the imperial guards for the Eastern Palace. You should help the prince pick people. You should choose some reliable and capable people. Whether they are from a noble family is not very important."

Wu Youren said: "Does the Empress mean that the imperial guards who protect the Eastern Palace should be newcomers, only focus on their abilities and not know their origins?"

The queen smiled and said, "Yes, this is what I mean. You are the Minister of Personnel, who specializes in the management of officials, and you can manage all the officials well, let alone the guard. This matter will be left to you. Assist the prince well. If you have any difficulties, come to me and have me take charge of you."

Wu Youren repeatedly agreed that if he could help Li Chongjiu and select the imperial guards, wouldn’t it mean that Li Chongjiu could have a confidant guard? And because he helped, he could have his own people in the East Palace. At least whoever he chose to be a guard must be grateful to him!

He thought to himself: "Among my own relatives, there are some people who are about the same age and have some skills, at least they have to be able to fight. This is the minimum. I have to go home and ask!"

Just as he was thinking, the queen said, "Wu Aiqing, go to the East Palace now. The emperor should also be in the East Palace at this time. If the emperor blames the prince, then you have to defend the prince more to avoid any misunderstandings between the father and son. I am afraid that the emperor will be too strict."

Wu Youren hurriedly said, "I obey the order!" He left the Mudan Garden and went to the Eastern Palace. On the way, he thought that the emperor was very strict, and would he be very strict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? No matter how you look at it, the emperor doesn't seem to be a strict person!

I quickly arrived at the East Palace, but I didn't see Li Yan. I asked the little eunuch guarding the gate. After asking, I realized that Li Yan had not come yet. I don't know where Li Yan went after leaving the Peony Garden. Anyway, I didn't come to the East Palace!

Wu Youren entered the East Palace and saw Li Chongjiu walking around the hall. On the chair next to him was a bearded guard sitting. The guard's face was swollen and red, with big bubbles on the corners of his mouth, and humming softly, looking very painful.

Seeing Wu Youren coming, Li Chongjiu shouted: "Shangshu Wu, you are here. Gu sent someone to find you. Why did you arrive? But did you come after you finish the work in the yamen? If Gu calls you again in the future, come here first. When will the matter in the yamen be busy?"

Li Chongjiu was in a very bad mood at this time. His only confidant man with strong beard was scalded by Caicai's palace maid with hot water. After Yang Ze and Caicai left, he of course had to treat the strong beard. But after asking all the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace, everyone said that there was no medicine for scalding in the East Palace and had to go to the imperial physician. He sent someone to find the imperial physician. As a result, the person sent had been away for a long time and he had not been able to find the imperial physician until now.

Wu Youren was stunned and said, "Your Highness, have you sent someone to find me? But I didn't see the person you sent. The reason I entered the palace was because the Empress came here when she saw the summoned and came here, and the Empress asked me to come!"

Li Chongjiu let out a roar, and then he understood. He angrily said, "These damn castrated people, they actually disobeyed you and didn't go to find you!"

Wu Youren immediately looked around and saw that there were no small eunuchs in the hall. He stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, be careful of your words. Those eunuchs are dirty. If they know that you hate them, you will most likely betray them. The eunuchs are the perfect villains!"

Li Chongjiu took a few breaths and said, "But the people in this Eastern Palace were all sent by Liang Dazhong, and they are not lonely people. Without a confidant, Gu is really helpless!"

Wu Youren smiled and said, "The Empress has already thought of this, so she has to recruit a group of imperial guards to enter the Eastern Palace to protect His Royal Highness the Prince. The candidates for these imperial guards must be selected by the Prince, and I have come here to assist His Royal Highness, you choose the people!"
