Chapter 19: My beloved concubine, you're too one-sided

"Your Majesty, why are you back?"

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

After seeing Wei Yunyi walking in outside the door, he quickly stood up and bowed in greeting.

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

Why is it suddenly back now? Is there something wrong with the memorial I handled before?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lingying couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wei Yunyi motioned to the other party to avoid courtesy, and then said with a smile: "I know who will take over Li Fang's position."

It turned out that it was not me. Zhao Lingying breathed a sigh of relief and then asked curiously: "Which minister of the imperial court is it?"

Not long ago, His Majesty approved Li Fang's resignation, and now he naturally has to make up for it.

And the reason for her curiosity is also very simple.

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

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

However, she felt that there were only a few ministers who met the requirements and were highly respected.

His Majesty should choose among these people.

"Young Minister 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 stunned when she heard this. She was obviously very surprised by this choice.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be bad to let Song Gongwen succeed Li Fang?" At that moment, she couldn't help but said: "I heard from my father before that this person is mediocre in ability, tactful, and likes to follow others, and has no scholarly qualities at all.

Character."

"The cabinet bachelor is very important to the imperial court. Let him take over, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Lingying swore that her evaluation of Song Gongwen was not at all because of the queen.

Just tell the truth and express your thoughts without any bias.

And she felt.

Such an important location.

Even if you don’t find someone with high moral standards, you should find someone with strong abilities, right?

Song Gongwen is really...

Of course, Zhao Lingying didn't say anything unpleasant. After all, she had to worry about the queen's face, right?

However, when Wei Yunyi heard this, he felt even happier.

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

Make him more sure.

It is definitely the wisest thing for my father-in-law to take over from Li Fang.

What could be more in line with the behavior of a coward than to allow a mediocre minister to 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 dear concubine, your view of things is still too one-sided. Who is Song Gongwen? A top three Jinshi in the previous dynasty, and also entered the Hanlin Academy.

How can a person like this, who writes well, be considered mediocre?"

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

"What if he is given enough opportunities and a better and broader platform? He can definitely perform to his heart's content."

"The cabinet is an excellent place. Song Gongwen, I believe he can take on the position of secondary assistant."

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

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

After all, this is about promoting someone to the cabinet. There must be a valid reason, right?

If even Concubine Ying cannot be persuaded, how will the officials be silenced in the future?

However, this remark.

On the contrary, Wang Jin, who was standing not far away, nodded repeatedly.

He used to think the same way. He obviously had ideas and abilities, so why couldn't he use them? What he lacked was an opportunity!

Now, it is precisely because His Majesty promoted and gave me the opportunity that I am what I am now, isn't it?

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

Hmm! Find someone to check it out when you get back.

As for Zhao Lingying, she looked confused and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is that so?"

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

"Of course!" Wei Yunyi said with seriousness and sincerity: "You can't just look at things like recruiting talents. My beloved, you still need to study more. Okay, don't think too much and help me draft the decree."

Promoting a bachelor to the cabinet is no small matter and requires the emperor to issue an imperial edict.

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

"Ah...Your Majesty...do you want me to write an edict?"

Zhao Lingying was still thinking about that sentence.

After hearing that Wei Yunyi asked him to draft an edict, he was immediately startled, with a look of panic on his face.

If the memorial was reviewed, it would be acceptable, but the imperial edict was a display and symbol of the emperor's power, so how could he allow concubines from the harem to come?

"It doesn't matter, just write if I ask you to." Wei Yunyi waved his hand and immediately placed the rice paper in front of the other party.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingying did not refuse, picked up the pen and started writing.

However, she chose to imitate Wei Yunyi's handwriting as much as possible.

After all, this kind of thing is too big.

If someone discovers it, the consequences will be very serious.

Wei Yunyi was not surprised by this, because when Zhao Lingying reviewed the memorial before, he was also imitating himself.

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

Soon, the decree to promote Song Gongwen to the cabinet bachelor was written. Wei Yunyi took out the jade seal, covered it directly, then turned to look at Wang Jin and said: "This decree will be announced three days later with Li Fang's resignation."

Hand out the coupons together, remember, it can't be early or late, just estimate the time."

The reason why we do this is very simple.

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

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

At that time, it will definitely cause waves in the imperial court, cause turmoil in people's hearts, and cause various negative effects.

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

"My slave obeys the order!"

Wang Jin took the imperial edict and nodded.

He will not think about what His Majesty does, he only knows His Majesty's orders and will resolutely implement them.

After everything was taken care of, Wei Yunyi could be said to be satisfied.

He did all kinds of things that could ruin the fate of the Wei Dynasty, such as letting King Yan become a vassal, intervening in politics in the harem, appointing eunuchs, promoting mediocre officials, etc.

Now he has begun to look forward to redeeming himself a large amount of Hunjun Points when the system is settled soon.

With the Hunjun Points, you can buy various things and improve yourself, which is very exciting just thinking about it.

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

He took Wang Jin back to the dormitory to rest.

At the same time, I also want to think carefully about how to better destroy luck.

"Empress, I heard that Your Majesty went to Kunshou Palace before."

At this time, the palace maid Cuiguo came from outside and said with a frown: "Your Majesty promoted Mr. Song to the cabinet. Could it be that the queen said something?"

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