Please, let me be a fool

At the same time, I feel that this matter should be arranged as soon as possible.

So after finishing speaking, he took Wang Jin and others to the imperial study.

As for Queen Song Youwei, she looked at his back with a helpless expression and her eyes were full of confusion.

Didn't he resign for his father?Why did you resign as a cabinet scholar?

Chapter 19 Aifei, you see things too one-sidedly

"Your Majesty, why are you back?"

In the imperial study room, Zhao Lingying was reviewing the memorial.

Seeing Wei Yunyi walk in outside the door, he quickly stood up and bowed to salute.

She was very surprised. When His Majesty usually leaves, doesn't he always go back to the bedroom to rest?

Why are you suddenly back now?Could it be that there is something wrong with the memorial I processed earlier?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lingying couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Wei Yunyi signaled the other party to excuse him, and then said with a smile: "I know who will take Li Fang's place."

It turned out that it wasn't because of me, Zhao Lingying breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously, "Which minister is it?"

Not long ago, His Majesty approved Li Fang's resignation, so it is natural to make up for it now.

And the reason for her curiosity is also very simple.

The cabinet is the center of the entire imperial court and is indispensable.

Whoever can enter the cabinet is equivalent to entering the highest power center of Wei.

However, she felt that there were only a few ministers who qualified as eunuchs and highly respected ministers.

His Majesty should choose among these people.

"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Song Gongwen!" Wei Yunyi smiled, and immediately leaned back on the dragon chair with a satisfied look on his face.

Song Gongwen, isn't that the queen's father?

Zhao Lingying was dumbfounded when she heard this, obviously very surprised by this candidate.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be good to let Song Gongwen succeed Li Fang?" At the moment, she couldn't help but said, "My concubine heard from my father before that this person is mediocre, smooth, and likes to follow others. He is not like a scholar at all." Strength."

"Cabinet Grand Master is very important to the court, let him take over, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Lingying swore that she did not comment on Song Gongwen because of the queen at all.

Just tell the truth, express your own thoughts, without any prejudice.

And she feels.

Such an important location.

Even if you don't find someone with high morals and prestige, you should find someone with strong ability, right?

Song Gongwen is really...

Of course, Zhao Lingying didn't say anything harsh, after all, she has to worry about the Queen's face, right?

However, when Wei Yunyi heard this, he became more and more happy.

Even the upright and magnanimous Marquis Shenwu gave such an evaluation.

make him more certain.

It is definitely the wisest thing for the old man to replace Li Fang.

What is more in line with the act of a fool than letting a mediocre minister enter the cabinet and participate in decision-making?

Of course, these things cannot be said.So Wei Yunyi looked at Zhao Lingying, and said seriously: "My concubine, you are still too one-sided. Who is Song Gongwen? Is it mediocre?"

"The reason why he seems incapable is because the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple is not suitable for him and suppresses his talent."

"If you give him enough opportunities, and a better and broader platform? He will definitely be able to use it to his heart's content."

"And the cabinet is an excellent place to go, Song Gongwen, I believe he can afford the position of second assistant."

"Maybe, he can succeed Zhang Zhengming in the future, lead the cabinet, and become the chief assistant!"

In fact, these are all made up by Wei Yunyi.

After all, this is promoting someone to the cabinet, so there must be a valid reason, right?

If even Concubine Ying can't convince her, how can she stop the mouths of the officials?

However, this speech.

Instead, Wang Jin, who was standing not far away, nodded repeatedly.

He used to think so too, obviously he has ideas and abilities, why can't he display them?All that's missing is an opportunity!

Now, it is precisely because of His Majesty's promotion and the opportunity that he is now who he is now?

Wang Jin deeply agreed, and at the same time thought about Song Gongwen, could it be the same?

Um!Get someone to check after you get back.

As for Zhao Lingying, she showed a bewildered expression, and said involuntarily, "Your Majesty, is that so?"

She felt that these words were correct and reasonable, but it seemed that something was wrong.

"Of course!" Wei Yunyi said earnestly and flickeringly: "Jian Ba's talent can't be just viewed from one side, my concubine, you still need to study more, well, don't think too much, help me to draw up the plan."

It is not a trivial matter to promote a cabinet scholar. It requires the emperor to issue an imperial decree.

However, Wei Yunyi felt that writing was too troublesome, so he asked people to do it for him.

"Ah...Your Majesty...do you want my concubine to write an imperial edict?"

Zhao Lingying was still thinking about that sentence.

After hearing that Wei Yunyi asked him to draw up an order, he was shocked immediately, with panic in his expression.

If you read the memorial, you can still talk about the past, but the imperial decree is a display and symbol of the emperor's power, how can you let the concubine of the harem come?

"It's okay, just write if I let you." Wei Yunyi waved his hand, and immediately put the rice paper in front of the other party.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingying didn't refuse, picked up a pen and started writing.

But she chose to imitate Wei Yunyi's notes as much as possible.

After all, this kind of thing is too big.

If someone with a heart finds out, the consequences will be very serious.

As for Wei Yunyi, this is not surprising, because Zhao Lingying was also imitating herself when she reviewed the memorial.

It just so happens that it is not easy to be seen, and it can save a lot of trouble, otherwise the officials will be chattering again.

Soon, the decree to promote Song Gongwen as a cabinet scholar was written. Wei Yunyi took out the jade seal and put it on it, then turned to look at Wang Jin and said, "This decree will be resigned in three days with Zhun Zuo Li Fang. Send out the notebooks together, remember, it can't be early or late, you can just guess the time."

The reason for this is very simple.

Li Fang is famous and has made great achievements, so it stands to reason that he should not be allowed to resign.

But he just agreed, and at the same time, he promoted a mediocre minister to replace him.

At that time, there will definitely be waves in the court, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people and causing all kinds of bad influences.

And this kind of influence is exactly what Wei Yunyi needs.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Jin accepted the imperial decree and nodded.

He doesn't think about what His Majesty will do, he only knows His Majesty's order, and he just needs to carry it out resolutely.

After everything has been dealt with, Wei Yunyi can be said to be satisfied.

He did all kinds of things that could ruin the luck of the Great Wei, such as releasing the King of Yan to the vassal, intervening in politics in the harem, appointing eunuchs, and promoting mediocre officials.

Now he has begun to look forward to, when the system settles in the near future, he will be able to exchange a large amount of Faint Lord Points for himself.

With the value of Hunjun, you can buy all kinds of things and improve yourself, which is very exciting to think about.

Afterwards, Wei Yunyi chatted with Zhao Lingying for a few more words.

He took Wang Jin back to the dormitory to rest.

At the same time, I also want to think about how to better ruin my luck.

"Your Majesty, this servant heard that His Majesty went to Kunshou Palace before."

At this time, the court lady Cui Guo came from outside, frowned and said: "Your Majesty promoted Mr. Song to the cabinet, could it be the queen who said something?"

The maid felt that if this was not the case, how could it be Song Gongwen's turn to be a cabinet scholar?

This is totally unreasonable.

Chapter 20 Terrible Emperor's Heart Technique

"You mean, the queen blows the pillow wind?"

"That's why Song Gongwen was promoted to seven ranks in a row and entered the cabinet?"

Zhao Lingying heard the words, and immediately continued: "Even though I haven't met the Queen a few times, I have heard of her reputation. I think she would not do such a thing."

Generally speaking, queens and concubines, if there is no special relationship, are equivalent to natural enemies.

Especially in today's harem, there are only two people.

They will definitely try every means to compete for grace.

But Zhao Lingying is very proud and doesn't bother to do this kind of thing at all.

At the same time, because of Queen Song Youwei's virtuousness, she is well-known throughout the capital.

So she deduced that the other party would definitely not do such a thing, and besides, His Majesty and the Queen have no emotional basis.

Even if it's the wind from the pillow, I'm afraid it won't blow up.

What's more, the position of cabinet bachelor.

Where can I come here in a sentence or two?

"But Your Majesty, why did you suddenly promote Mr. Song?" Cui Guo still didn't understand. The queen didn't speak. It's not his turn either.

"You don't understand, this is His Majesty's brilliance." Zhao Lingying said with a smile: "Nowadays, the court officials are basically the team left by the late emperor."

"Although there are no major problems, among them, there is no one from His Majesty, especially the cabinet, which is headed by Zhang Zhengming."

"I admit that Zhang Zhengming is indeed a famous official in the world, with great ability, but his power is too great and his prestige is too high."

"However, such a person can easily threaten the imperial power. This is something that every monarch does not want to see."

"And Song Gongwen is the head of the state, with a special status. When he enters the cabinet, he can restrain Zhang Zhengming."

"In the imperial court, if His Majesty wants to hold great power, he must have his own talents."

Zhao Lingying continued: "And there is a more important point, that is, His Majesty's promotion of Song Gongwen may also have a reason to balance the power of foreign relatives."

Balance the power of foreign relatives?Isn't that...

Cui Guo couldn't help but said: "The power of the relatives of the imperial court, could it be my Shenwuhou Mansion?"

In the current Great Wei Dynasty, the Sun family to which the Empress Dowager belongs has no official in the court.

So the only foreign relatives are the Song family and the Zhao family of Shenwuhoufu.

"Naturally." Zhao Lingying replied: "My Zhao family has made meritorious service for generations and has made great contributions to the founding of the country. Its prestige in the army is unmatched. If this is the case, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's jealousy. Therefore, Song Gongwen's entry into the cabinet will also contain my Zhao family. move."

"Ah... Then, isn't my Shenwuhou Mansion very dangerous?"

Cui Guo was in a hurry, being feared by the emperor would have serious consequences.

She lived in the Hou's Mansion since she was a child, and she has received many favors, and her mother treated her like a sister, so of course she was flustered.

"There are indeed some dangers." Zhao Lingying thought for a while, and then said: "But as long as father and elder brother have no second thoughts about the court and His Majesty, there is nothing else, the most is to take back some military power, it's okay."
