The heavens are kings, starting with Qing Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 36
Emperor Qing was hesitant to hand over the postal system to the prince for management.

He was not afraid that Li Chengqian would strengthen his power through the postal system.

What he was thinking about was how Li Chengqian would deal with this mess in the postal system.

A postal route system in Qingguo adds up to more than one hundred post stations and thousands of people.

Anyone pulled out at random is related to a certain official.

One or two is nothing, but thousands means a huge and complex network of relationships.

If Li Chengqian's handling method was too rough and touched everyone's interests, it would definitely cause a violent backlash.

But if the means are too gentle, it may be extremely difficult to change the current situation of the postal system.

In fact, this postal route system has almost faintly taken on a bit of the current two-point structure of the Qing Kingdom's officialdom.

Although the postal route system has only been around for a few years, it is far inferior to the intricacies of the river transport yamen.

But it is definitely not a place where you can easily move.

If you are not careful, don't look at the fact that there are many people in the court who agree with it.

But once something goes wrong, the impeachment memorial may quickly pile up into a hill.

Therefore, if he really wants to protect the prince, he should strictly reject this request.

But jade cannot be crafted.

Although the news about Li Chengqian made him look a little different.

But no matter how good the newspaper is and how influential it is, it is nothing compared to the government affairs of the court.

The postal system was different, in which the complex network of relationships could already vaguely see the clues of the Qing Dynasty's officialdom, and the problems and situations that needed to be dealt with were far from being comparable to running a newspaper office.

If Li Chengqian can handle the mail system well, then he will truly recognize that Li Chengqian is qualified to take over his position in the future.

What's more, even if Li Chengqian was frustrated with the postal system and caused trouble.

He also has absolute control over the situation.

So, after thinking about it for a moment, he agreed to Li Chengqian's request.

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lin Ruofu, who had remained silent all this time, and said, "Master Lin, write an edict from the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China to add the postal transport envoy to the crown prince."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Li Chengqian bowed immediately and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, the second prince Li Chengze suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the postal route system is complex and complicated, and there are many affairs. Although my son is not talented, he is willing to do his best for the prince to share his worries!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the palace lowered their eyes slightly and fell into silence.

No one believed that the second prince really wanted to help the prince share his worries.

The dispute between the second prince and the crown prince was well known throughout the court, and even because of Emperor Qing's laissez-faire, the court was faintly divided into distinct opposing forces.

It's just that although they have their own inclinations, they are not easy to intervene when the prince and the second prince have already stepped forward to stand in front of the stage.

In other words, he is no longer qualified to intervene.

Because of the problems between the royal family, Emperor Qing made the decision alone.

"You have deep brotherly love." Emperor Qing gave Li Chengze a meaningful look, his tone full of joy and anger.

Li Chengze was originally the sharpening stone he chose for the prince.

After all, the inheritance of a country is very important.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to hand Qing Kingdom into the hands of a trash.

Even, if the crown prince was too self-abiding and confined to the East Palace all day, he would take the initiative to find ways for the crown prince to do some errands.

After all, a country is so big, how can a person who only hides in the deep palace can afford it?

Therefore, he is not afraid that the prince will do things, but he is afraid that the prince will not do anything.

It's just that the prince has improved a lot now, and even took the initiative to find some errands to do.

Personality seems to have changed a lot.

It seems that Li Chengze, the whetstone, no longer needs to continue to fulfill his mission.

After all, if he continued to let Li Chengze be the sharpening stone, his future end would be very miserable.

After all, this is his own son.

However, this idea just simply drifted across his mind, and then disappeared in a flash.

The whetstone plan has been implemented for many years, so it is a pity to abandon it like this.

What's more, in order to create momentum for Li Chengze, he publicized his virtues and virtues at the age of 12. At the age of 13, he officially named Li Chengze the prince. At the age of 14, he even built a prince's mansion outside the palace for him. At the age of 15, Li Chengze was directly given the right to participate in politics in the imperial study.

And these things are often the exclusive rights of the prince.

This is also why the second prince Li Chengze was able to gather his own power in the court even though the crown prince was the legitimate heir.

The dispute between the second prince and the crown prince was far from a day's work.

Some things, once started, are hard to turn back.

In particular, it still needs enough time to verify how the prince's transformation will be and whether he can become a qualified heir.

Before that, a whetstone that he had carefully cultivated naturally couldn't be discarded.

He glanced at Li Chengqian and asked, "What do you think the prince wants?"

Li Chengqian's face remained unchanged, he cupped his hands and said: "If the second brother wishes to come, I have no objection."

Emperor Qing said: "Forget it, Li Chengze, I will appoint you as the Deputy Postal Transit Envoy to assist the Crown Prince in handling postal matters."

Hearing this, Li Chengze bowed in response with joy on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment."

However, the moment he lowered his head, a faint bitterness appeared on his face.

He was not a fool, so he naturally knew how unlikely he would be in that position if he wanted to overthrow Li Chengqian.

When he was crowned king back then, he asked himself to be titled idle king because he did not want to get involved in these things.

It's a pity that under Emperor Qing's will, his will was never important.

Under the coercion of the general environment, he had to fight even if he didn't want to.

After all, ordinary rich and noble people compete, and the most losers lose their family property and career.

But in the battle for the throne, if you lose, you will lose your life.

If he wants to live, he has to fight.

Of course, he may not have no ambitions under the influence of various voices.

It's just that the lustful and weak prince in the past has sprung up. He first ran a new newspaper, and now he wants to get involved in the postal service.

The strategy, talent, and courage displayed so far are no longer Wuxia Amon.

And the main reason why he had the opportunity to sit on the position of prince was that the character and talent he showed surpassed that of the prince.

Once this advantage disappears, his small chance of becoming the prince will become more and more slim.

It's not worth risking your life for such a slim chance.

He made this request today not because he wanted to compete with the prince, but because he wanted to ask Emperor Qing.

Today's prince has changed, can he be prevented from being that whetstone again?
