These people are all those whom the two had investigated and deemed usable. As long as Li Chen nodded, they could be put to use immediately.

The quality of these people is somewhat uneven.

Li Chen could only reluctantly find someone taller among the shorter ones. He found two people who looked relatively reliable and decided to try them out first.

"Although the power of the Ministry of War now appears to be vacant, it has actually given the cabinet an opportunity. The new Minister of War, Shangguan Zhaoji, is a close confidant of Zhao Xuanji."

"This person has cultivated in the Ministry of War for many years, both in terms of connections and prestige, they are far stronger than the Right Minister I sent. Coupled with the support of the cabinet, this position of Right Minister will be difficult to manage."

So, when choosing candidates, we must be extremely careful. Those who are not capable enough will only be a waste of time if they go.

"Once a candidate is chosen, however, one must give them their full support. The Ministry of War is vital; there can be no room for carelessness."

After Li Chen set the tone, he sent the two people back.

After dinner with Zhao Rui, San Bao brought her adopted daughter.

"Lady Wan Jiaojiao greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live the Crown Prince, ten thousand years! Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years!"

"Wan Jiaojiao, a commoner woman, has met the Imperial Consort. May the Imperial Consort enjoy good fortune and longevity, with youthful beauty forever."

Looking at the woman before him, she was delicate and graceful, with red lips and white teeth. Even if she were thrown into modern times, she would still be a school flower, goddess-level beauty. At this moment, she was kneeling before him with her head bowed, as if obediently awaiting his command. Li Chen merely hummed in response, accepting her submission.

"Before you came, Sanbao could have told you" Li Chen asked.

Wàn Jiāojiāo lowered her head, not daring to look at Lǐ Chén's face. She replied in a soft voice: "Reporting to Your Highness, my foster father only instructed Jiāojiāo that after this, anything Your Highness says is heaven's decree, and the life of this humble servant is also Your Highness's."

Regardless, being flattered by a beauty who would undoubtedly have countless admirers wherever she went in the future was still a good feeling for Li Chen, as a man.

"Not bad."

Li Chen nodded, a satisfied expression on his face.

"Can you read"

In a time when illiteracy was widespread, being able to write a complete letter home was considered a remarkable feat even for the most cultured individuals in the village. Literacy wasn't common; rather, it was unusual to be able to read and write. That's why Li Chen asked this question.

Wan Jiaojiao replied, "To Your Highness, my adoptive father once had a tutor teach me. I know most of the Shijing and Zi collections."

Li Chen, satisfied and smiling, said: "Sanbao can't even recognize a few Chinese characters, but he seems to really care about your adopted daughter."

"You may go now. The imperial nanny from the East Palace will teach you some manners. Tomorrow, you will serve in the Xizheng Hall. In the future, you will be a walking attendant there, responsible for serving me during my work."

This is entirely out of Li Chen's respect for Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui was somewhat flattered.

Given her status, she wouldn't have had any say in this matter.

So she said softly, "Your Highness, if you think it's good, then it's good. But if I were to give some instructions..."

"Having said that, she turned to Wan Jiaojiao and said, “Since you served as the Lord's attendant today, you belong to the Lord. Regardless of whether you were raised by your adoptive father or cared for by your biological father, from now on, there is only one master and one sky. Serving the Lord well is your duty, your only task. If you neglect it, if the Lord does not punish you, I will.”

Wan Jiaojiao bowed towards Zhao Rui, her eyes brimming with sincerity. She said earnestly: "Thank you, Tai Zi Bin, for your teachings. I will certainly keep them in mind and never be negligent."

"That's calling oneself a slave," Zhao Rui corrected.by the prime minister of Liao...""You know what I mean, you want me to betray the Liao Kingdom!" Xiao Tiannan said angrily.He Kun smiled and said, "Xiao brother, this isn't called selling out. You and...
