The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 589 Crown Prince

"can!"

Everyone agreed.

"Then follow what Brother Lin said."

Seeing that no one had any objection, Kang Hong made the final decision.

However, he knew very well that this was a huge project and he couldn't be impatient. He had to move forward step by step and slowly.

Not only that, but one needs to be extremely cautious when taking action, and must not reveal one's intentions and purposes too early to arouse suspicion. At least one must not let all families know that it was Kang Hong who was doing this.

"Brother Lin, how about you take charge of Qingzhou County?"

After a little thought, Kang Hong turned to look at Lin Xiaofan who was sitting next to him, and then asked.

Lin Xiaofan has brains, ability, influence, and a certain amount of experience. Let him do it, I believe he can complete it as quickly as possible.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Lin Xiaofan nodded in agreement. In fact, in his opinion, compared with other places, the operation difficulty in Qingzhou County was the least.

First of all, he himself has a certain influence and sphere of influence in Qingzhou County; secondly, after so many years of careful governance by the Zhao family, Qingzhou County now has a solid foundation and conditions in all aspects are relatively mature and complete, so the obstacles encountered in implementing relevant plans will definitely be much smaller.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Lin. I'll leave Yantian County to Brother Jianchen."

Kang Hong turned his gaze to Jian Chen.

Jian Bai is the leader of the Yantian Army and also serves as the governor of Yantian County. He helped the people of Yantian County to eliminate the barbarians who harassed them, and he has a very high prestige in the local area.

If the Jian family handles this matter, it will surely go much more smoothly.

"Thanks to your majesty's trust, I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"

Jian Chen bowed respectfully and responded with a solemn oath.

"It is not appropriate to make any big moves in the capital at the moment. General Guan, you can secretly support a few families in the capital, but remember not to be too ostentatious. You just need to unbalance the distribution of benefits among the major families."

Kang Hong gave Guan Rong earnest instructions.

You know, more than half of the high-ranking officials in the court are from famous families in the capital. Because of this, these families are extremely powerful, and other local families often follow their lead.

If you act rashly at this time, you may cause unnecessary trouble and trouble.

"I obey your command!" Guan Rong bowed respectfully.

Then, Kang Hong turned his gaze to Zhao Ziyu and said solemnly: "Brother Zhao, Hedong County is entrusted to you."

There are many members of the Zhao family serving as officials in the court, and each of them is both virtuous and talented, and they stick to the bottom line of principles.

Most of the tasks in investigating corrupt officials in Hedong County were assigned to Zhao Ziyu. Now, he can just do two jobs at the same time.

"I accept the order and thank you!"

Zhao Ziyu agreed without hesitation.

"Also, you two can take over more industries in the capital and weaken the power of many of the capital's big families."

Kang Hong thought about it and said again.

"promise."

Zhao Ziyu and Jian Chen received the order. Now the Zhao and Jian families are unprecedentedly powerful, even if they go against all the families in the capital, there will be no problem.

"When you act, you must not go too far, just suppress them. If they don't go too far, we don't have to kill them all."

Duanmu Liangchuan reminded everyone in a serious tone.

He was well aware of the importance of leaving room for everything. In this way, if the family he supported became disloyal or undisciplined in the future, the court could still find new support and help the family rise again.

"Brother Duanmu is absolutely right."

Everyone on the field agreed.

Kang Hong looked out the window. It was already late. Before they knew it, they had been discussing for more than two hours.

"It's time to get off work, everyone, why don't we have a meal together?"

Kang Hong spoke, with a hint of warmth and kindness in his voice.

Lin Xiaofan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He still recognized the skills of the imperial chefs in the palace.

Now that the emperor has personally invited him, he naturally does not want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Well, we haven't been together for a long time."

Lin Xiaofan responded with a smile.

Duanmu Liangchuan also had a happy look on his face, and quickly echoed: "Your Majesty's kindness is hard to refuse, so we respectfully obey your command."

Although there are delicious dishes cooked by Duanmu Ke'er at home, the cooking skills of the imperial chefs in the palace are definitely better than hers.

As for the other three, they had no reason to refuse.

"Haha, Xiao Shunzi, arrange for someone to cook and we can eat here. Also, bring up all the good wine that my brother has sealed for twenty years."

Kang Hong gave an order and stretched himself. He was relieved after solving the problem that was on his mind. It seemed that all the fatigue in his body was swept away at this moment.

"promise."

The eunuch standing outside the door responded. Not long after, the food was served on the table.

The food in the palace was very rich. The tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies, the aroma was overflowing, and it made people salivate.

As the wine was opened and drank cup after cup, everyone's mood gradually became more excited.

"My dear ministers, I am honored to have your assistance! Now that Daqian is thriving, we will eliminate corrupt officials and bad policies, and make all local aristocratic families obey the court. Then the military and civilians of Daqian will be united in mind and purpose. Why should we be afraid of the Heavenly Wolf Country?" Kang Hong spoke passionately, and his tone could not conceal his excitement.

Since the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty for more than a hundred years, has there ever been such a good situation? He had anticipated the scene ten years later when he would seize Daliang and Shang, attack Dayu in the west, and double the territory.

After hearing this, everyone's eyes burned like fire.

Except for Guan Rong, the rest are in their prime. The oldest among them, Jian Feng, is only 48 years old this year. In this era, it is not uncommon for officials to still be in office in their seventies. In the next twenty years, Daqian will surely achieve a great cause with their efforts.

"Your Majesty knows how to appoint the right people to the right posts, works diligently and loves the people, which is why Daqian is so prosperous today. What I, your humble servants, have done is nothing more than our duty." Several people flattered in unison, and Kang Hong smiled a little more.

After finishing one jar of wine, he took another one.

Lin Xiaofan exclaimed in his heart from time to time, thinking that Kang Qi's stock was extraordinary. He had never had such good wine in the Tang Dynasty.

Not only does it taste good, but the alcohol content is not high, so you don’t have to worry about getting drunk.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I want to mention."

After three rounds of drinks, Guan Rong suddenly thought of something and his eyes became serious.

"About the Crown Prince."

Although Kang Hong is still young, he has not even a son until now, only Feng Sheng has a daughter. If something unexpected happens one day, Daqian will be without a king.

Moreover, Kang Hong is 42 years old this year. If it is later, the difficulty of having a child will probably increase.

"Indeed, if there is no crown prince, the country may fall into chaos at any time. Your Majesty still needs to put in more effort."

Duanmu Liangchuan also spoke up. He was well-versed in history books and naturally understood the importance of the crown prince.

Some countries were originally well governed, but because the emperor died suddenly for various reasons and did not appoint a crown prince, it eventually led to competition among the princes and the national strength gradually declined.

There were even cases where the items were taken away by foreign officials.
