When you see the other person, give him a big courtesy.

Wei Yunyi was stunned for a moment, then helped the queen up.

"Queen, you and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Treat others with soft hands and take advantage of others with short mouths.

Even though I am the emperor, she is still the queen after all, so I have to be polite.

As said, the two are actually husband and wife.

couple...

Song Youwei's heart suddenly felt a little rippled.

She has been studying since she was a child and understands that she is now the queen of the middle palace.

But I also understand that there is no such thing as family ties in the Heavenly Family, only the distinction between monarch and minister.

Therefore, from the moment she entered the palace, Song Youwei knew deeply that she must treat her husband like her master.

There must not be any arrogance, nor can it be like ordinary people.

But now, the word husband and wife made her feel something different.

What's more important is that Song Youwei can completely hear it.

Wei Yunyi didn't just say it casually.

"Couple?"

Song Youwei muttered to herself, remembering those storybooks written by talented men and beautiful ladies that she had read when she was young.

She had never thought of Qin Se and Ming, the loving relationship between husband and wife, so this sentence touched her heartstrings.

However, she did not get immersed in it, nor did she forget the purpose of speaking. She immediately said: "It's about my father, who wants to resign."

Resign?

I just dealt with one today, why do you want to do it again?

Isn’t my father-in-law only in his forties? He is old and frail?

Wei Yunyi was speechless, but he did not get angry. He just said: "Queen, why is this?"

Song Youwei thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, my father has been an official for many years and has been exhausted both physically and mentally. I hope your Majesty will accept my concubine's request in consideration of it!"

As she spoke, she knelt down and worshiped again, her words filled with incomparable sincerity.

Song Youwei knew that her father must be disillusioned with his career.

Otherwise, he would not be thinking about resigning in his prime.

Beside him, Wei Yunyi said nothing.

In his memory, he was not deeply impressed by his father-in-law Song Gongwen.

I only know that this man had outstanding temperament when he was young. He was once a top three Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy.

But he didn't seem to be liked by his colleagues, so he was later transferred to the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, where he stayed for more than ten years.

In the original work, the evaluation of the official documents of the Song Dynasty is.

Although he is an honest official, he is smooth and his abilities are mediocre.

Even some trivial cases are difficult to handle, require a lot of time, and sometimes even lead to wrong decisions.

Therefore, in the officialdom, he was not only criticized by his colleagues, but also scolded a lot by the people in the capital.

I have been an official for decades and have not made any big mistakes, but I have not made any great achievements either.

In short, he is a mediocre minister with no merits.

Wei Yunyi also thinks so.

People like the other party are indeed not suitable to be officials.

It would be better to grant the Queen's request, let her resign, and enjoy herself at home.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Yunyi was ready to agree.

etc!

A mediocre person with no merit...

Suddenly, Wei Yunyi thought of something.

Aren’t you just wondering about the candidate to replace Li Fang?

What if this position is given directly to the father-in-law and he takes over as the second assistant?

It should be noted that the existence of the cabinet is extremely important, assisting the emperor in handling various affairs of the dynasty.

Therefore, those who are selected must have sufficient abilities, otherwise, they will bring hidden dangers to the country and the court.

Just like Zhang Zhengming, he can take care of everything in order.

Such a first assistant is definitely what all wise kings dream of.

But here’s the problem.

Wei Yunyi wants to be a foolish king.

This person is so capable, and with him around, it's hard to ruin your luck.

And what about Song Gongwen? Although he was not a treacherous minister, he could not even do a good job as a young minister of Dali Temple. This is no longer something that can be described as a mediocre minister.

Letting him take over as the second assistant, enter the cabinet, and participate in decision-making can exactly offset Zhang Zhengming's ability.

Then I would support the other party from time to time.

Isn’t this luck just falling down like a thunder?

more importantly.

My father-in-law was a Jinshi in his early years and had spent time in the Hanlin Academy. He fully meets this requirement and can silence the mouths of those officials.

What's wrong with having a low official position? What's this called?

I urge God to cheer up and send talents of any kind!

Yes, just do it!

I am indeed a genius to be a fool.

Father-in-law, the choice of second assistant is decided by you!

With his thoughts at this point, Wei Yunyi looked at the queen and said with a smile: "Song Qing is your father, how can you allow him to resign easily? Therefore, I will not agree."

"But father, he is really not suitable for the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Song Youwei was a little anxious.

"Since it doesn't fit, then change it." Wei Yunyi smiled and then continued.

"It just so happens that Li Fang, the second assistant, resigned today. I am suffering from the lack of a suitable candidate."

"So, let your father take over his position!"

As soon as these words came out.

Song Youwei was shocked.

Even Wang Jin and others behind him widened their eyes.

The second assistant, Li Fang, was a bachelor of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs. He was a high-ranking minister.

Song Gongwen was just a young minister of Dali Temple, a mere fourth-rank official. Even if he had the status of a state leader, it was just in name only.

But Wei Yunyi's words directly caused the opponent to jump seven levels in a row...

"Your Majesty, isn't this... inappropriate?"

Song Youwei came back to her senses and said quickly: "The position of the cabinet scholar is of great importance. I am afraid that my father will not be qualified for the position. If he fails to fulfill your majesty's trust, please take back his appointment."

Second Assistant, there are only four people in the entire cabinet. It is impossible for ordinary officials to achieve this position without great political achievements.

No matter how powerful you are, it still takes decades of hard work before you even have a small chance.

Looking at the more than 120 years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there have been very few.

Besides, Song Youwei knew her father's abilities very well.

Let him join the cabinet and become the second assistant.

What a disaster...

Once something goes wrong, it is not a trivial matter and will endanger the court.

Especially those officials who like to find faults will definitely focus all their attention on the father, amplifying their mistakes infinitely.

So Song Youwei felt that this position was unacceptable no matter what, it was really too dangerous.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yunyi shook his head and said, "That's your father. In other words, he's the abbot of the country. He just joined the cabinet. Why can't he be qualified?"

"Okay, I have made up my mind. There is no need for the Queen to say any more."

"This this..."

"Concubine, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my father."

Song Youwei originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Wei Yunyi's serious face, she had no choice but to agree.

Now she only hopes that after her father takes office as the cabinet bachelor, he will not seek merit, but seek nothing more.

"Okay, since the queen also supports it, I will go and issue the decree now."

Wei Yunyi nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, I feel that I need to arrange this matter as soon as possible.

So after finishing speaking, he took Wang Jin and others to the Imperial Study Room.

As for Queen Song Youwei, she looked at his back with a helpless face and confusion in her eyes.
