Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Gongwang of the Nine Ministers’ House was walking in the courtyard of the mansion.

The eldest son Xiao Qi followed behind.

"A few days ago, Lord Kong had a private talk with his father, and he would nominate him as his father as deputy prime minister."

Xiao Gongwang said lightly.

Since the former deputy prime minister Wang Su was promoted to the imperial censor, the position of deputy prime minister has been empty.

Kong Hanyou has not nominated a suitable deputy prime minister. The deputy prime minister needs to be nominated by the chief minister and approved by the emperor.

"Congratulations to my father, the three ministers are expected!"

Xiao Qi was overjoyed when he heard this.

The Nine Ministers are already extremely prominent high-ranking officials in the court, and it is extremely difficult to advance to the third duke.

After all, the higher you go, the fewer the official positions you have, and you can only rank the seniors and wait for the previous one to retreat before you have the chance to get on the throne. There are nine ministers, while the three ministers are only three.

The Nine Ministers took another step forward to be the Deputy Prime Minister.

The deputy prime minister's next step is the Grand Secretary of the Three Dukes.

The Censor took another step to become the Prime Minister's Office who commanded the officials of the world.

Therefore, the key to the position of the deputy prime minister is to be the key to being promoted to the three dukes. If you cannot get the position of the deputy prime minister, you basically have no hope of being promoted to the three dukes.

"However, nominating the deputy prime minister comes at a price. The condition offered by Lord Kong is that I, the Xiao family of Jinling, must support the Confucian school to strengthen the strength of the Confucian school.

If you reject this condition, you will definitely miss the position of the father and this prime minister. Lord Kong will definitely find the other nine ministers to reach this deal."

Xiao Gongwang said.

Xiaofu, one of the top ten clans in Jinling, has a scholarly family that has passed on Confucianism from generation to generation and is not opposed to the Confucian faction. However, for the interests of the clan, he has always stood on the standpoint of the noble faction of the clan.

Xiao Qi suddenly felt shocked.

My father was promoted to deputy prime minister and was ranked third in the future. Xiao's mansion will definitely be honored for a while.

But staying away from the noble factions of the imperial court and changing to the Confucian faction... This is extremely risky.

If the Confucian faction loses power again, the Xiao family will leave the clan and join the Confucian faction, and they will be no longer in the court.

High returns and high risks.

It is worth taking risks for the position of deputy prime minister and for the position of three ministers.

"I heard that Xiaohunhou opened an academy and the prince also went there. He asked his eldest granddaughter, county lord Xiao Xiao, to go to Xiaohunhou's academy.

The prince is fourteen years old and is almost about to choose the princess.

If Xiao Xiao can become the crown princess, it is best if... the least it is necessary to strive to become the imperial concubine.

If the Confucian faction loses power in the future, our Xiao family must have at least one queen and imperial concubine, so that we can be safe. As long as we are father, we can be ranked in the third duke and there is a queen in the palace, even if the Confucian faction loses power, our Xiao family can still stand in the court!"

Xiao Gongwang said.

"Yes, father! I'll send Xiao Xiao to study."

Xiao Qi nodded.
