The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Chapter 972, Appearance

After the first month passed, Xiao Yeyang received news from Beijing.

In Xiliang, nine new Governor’s Offices would be established, one for each guard, equivalent to adding nine Magistrate positions. Below the Governor’s Offices, there would also be Prefectural Governor’s Offices and County Governor’s Offices. The list of officials scheduled to arrive in March was densely packed, filling several pages of paper.

Xiao Yeyang did not pay much attention to most, but carefully reviewed the six candidates for Magistrate. (The Magistrates for the Ganzhou Guard, Jinwei Guard, and Lanwu Guard had long been determined as Dong Yuanxuan, Xiu Yi, and You Kai.)

These six individuals, half from aristocratic families and half from humble backgrounds, all emerged from the imperial examinations, with each having served in official positions for over six years and received top assessments during their tenures, demonstrating capable abilities.

Clearly, these six were here to get things done.

Xiao Yeyang noted down these six individuals, then began reviewing the list of officials assigned to positions in Liangdu City.

Previously, Liangdu only had a Commander Office, but now, it had added a Governor’s Office and a Supervisory Office. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Looking at the lists for the Governor’s Office and Supervisory Office, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but frown.

"Dad!"

Daozi, holding a leather ball made of cowhide, ran into the study. "Daddy, play with me."

Daohua, following a few steps behind, walked into the room and saw many papers on the desk; knowing Xiao Yeyang was busy, she held back her son: "Daddy is working, go find Grandpa Chu to play with you."

Daozi was reluctant, glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that his father did not put down his work to join him as usual, realized he couldn’t sway him this time and then bounced off to find Chu Lang.

Daohua quickly instructed the maidservants and old ladies to follow, and seeing Xiao Yeyang with a concerned frown, she asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang handed the official list from Beijing to Daohua, "Several of the princes’ maternal families have arranged for people to come to Xiliang this time."

Daohua frowned: "Why leave Beijing and come to Xiliang?"

Xiao Yeyang scoffed: "Xiliang is a border area, what is in a border? Military power!" Who can do without military power in the battle for the throne?

Daohua furrowed her brow even more: "Looking at Emperor Uncle’s health, he’s likely to live long, and it seems those princes in Beijing are jumping the gun too early."

Xiao Yeyang: "Last time your brother returned to Beijing, he heard some rumors. Some people are secretly planning to jointly petition Emperor Uncle to appoint a Crown Prince."

Daohua somewhat speechlessly said: "Isn’t that courting death?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Appointing a Crown Prince affects the nation’s fortune. Even if Emperor Uncle might get upset, he wouldn’t punish the ministers for this. Everyone knows this, hence their boldness, it’s also a chance to test Emperor Uncle’s attitude."

After some thought, Daohua asked, "Who do you think Emperor Uncle favors to be the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Yeyang paused for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t know."

It’s not so easy to guess Emperor Uncle’s thoughts, but he had this intuition that Emperor Uncle would probably not favor those older princes.

Daohua didn’t really care about this issue either; no matter which prince becomes emperor, as long as the Prince Residence does nothing wrong, they should be fine.

Soon, Daohua expressed her concerns again: "With those princes’ maternal families coming to Xiliang, are we going to be dragged into choosing sides?"

Xiao Yeyang: "There will definitely be attempts to win us over, but before Emperor Uncle makes his stance clear, they won’t dare reveal too much."

Daohua snorted: "Hopefully the ladies of those families won’t come bothering me; I really can’t be bothered to engage in their intrigues."

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "You are now a Princess Consort; how could the maternal families of those princes be compared? They must respect you. If anyone makes you unhappy, just fight back."

Daohua smiled and nodded; she was now the Princess Consort, and if she didn’t want to see someone, they wouldn’t even be allowed through the gates of the Prince Residence.
