629 Need a reason
Xiling has three prefectures, four cities and six counties, with a fiefdom of 6,000 miles.
The appointment and transfer of officials are not something that can be done in one day.
He ordered people to send files from officials from various departments. Chu Chen stayed in the room and looked carefully for two days. He followed Zixi to deal with the government affairs these days. These things were nothing to him.
Not all the records in the file are true. Many related officials will exaggerate and falsely report their achievements when assessing their subordinates' political achievements, while those who are unwilling to get close to them will spare no effort to belittle them...
Chu Chen won't just look at the surface.
The original court officials in Xiling were destined to have many people who would no longer be officials. Now they are used in fewer people. They only need to select some available officials who can do practical things for the people, rather than those who are only interested in embezzlement and bribery and keep warm together.
Two days later, the eldest princess Chu Ning asked for a meeting.
Chu Chen met her alone in the study.
"You decided to conquer Nanling?"
Chu Chen nodded, "It has been decided to start from Nanling."
"Have you read the secret letter from Your Majesty?" Chu Ning stood in front of the case, his tone was indifferent, "I will go with you."
Chu Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Chu Ning said calmly: "This is Your Majesty's order."
"Aunt, I understand what Your Majesty means." Chu Chen sat in the chair, his tone was faint, but a touch of gentleness appeared in his eyes, "She supports me to take revenge, and is worried that I will lose control of my emotions...but I won't."
He understood Zixi's intentions.
She had obviously received the news of her father's death, and was careful that he could not stand the blow, agreed to his revenge, but was worried that he would make wrong decisions without controlling his emotions, and even hoped that he could protect himself.
Chu Chen knew everything, and he was moved by Zixi's considerateness.
But he won't get out of control.
"I won't lose control, my aunt doesn't need to follow me." Chu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Chu Ning seriously, "Zixi is worried that I will lose control because of my father's death, but..."
Chu Ning frowned.
"Ling Kingdom is now in a situation of employment, and we cannot waste the general who leads the troops." Chu Chen said, "I hope my aunt can return to Ling Kingdom. Even if she goes to the battlefield, she will lead the troops independently, rather than being my supervisor."
Chu Ning was silent for a moment: "I need a reason."
It won't get out of control, these four words obviously cannot convince her.
She came here after receiving the order of the empress. Going to the battlefield to fight is an unnecessary matter, and it is related to the survival of the soldiers. Chu Ning would not treat herself as a melody between two children.
reason?
Chu Chen kept his eyes silent for a moment, picked up his pen and wrote a letter: "Auntie, she will understand if she gives this letter to His Majesty."
Chu Ning's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly. When he watched Chu Chen write on the paper, his brows frowned, and a deep thought flashed through his eyes: "Is this true?"
Chu Chen didn't say anything, and after writing the letter, he blew it dry. After packing it, he said lightly: "It's almost the same as ten."
"Then why are you..."
"I happened to encounter this opportunity, how could I let it go?" Chu Chen smiled, but his smile was cold and ruthless. "Besides, for the matter of the father, the people who have the most chance and motivation to deal with the situation in Nanling and Beiling rooms are the ones who have the most chance and motivation to deal with them. I don't mind taking this opportunity to take them all, so as not to let Zixi wait any longer."
Chu Ning stared at his expression and said lightly for a moment: "It's okay not to let this palace follow you, but Her Majesty the Queen will agree."
Chu Chen said: "Auntie will agree as long as she brings her letter back."
