Chapter 23 Your Majesty, what does that really mean?(1/2)

Song Gongwen looked at two things.

He didn't speak, just sighed silently.

I know that if I want to realize my ambition back then, I need not only the support of His Majesty the Emperor, but also the power in my hands.

And this power must at least enter the cabinet, but it is really difficult at this time.

Regardless of whether I am qualified to join the cabinet now or not.

Even if there is.

But is there still room for it now?

It's impossible for His Majesty to kick someone out.

Therefore, he knew in his heart that the ambition he had back then might not be realized in his lifetime.

Why is God so cruel and wants me to live a life of inaction?

What's wrong with him? He just wants a chance.

Just an opportunity!

I will definitely be able to do my best by then.

It's a pity that this opportunity will never come, right?

"Let him go." Song Gongwen shook his head again, glanced at the calligraphy and the book, then found a box and put it away, as if he had completely buried his dreams and passion.

"Master! Master!"

At this time, a servant suddenly walked to the study and reported back: "Many guards and father-in-law came outside, saying that His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived."

Imperial decree?

what happened?

In the study, Song Gongwen opened the door with a puzzled look on his face.

It's so good, how come there is an imperial edict?

Could it be that his daughter persuaded His Majesty to allow him to resign?

But I am just a young minister of Dali Temple, so I shouldn’t have an imperial edict, right?

Forget it, don’t think about it now, go take a look and then talk about it.

Song Gongwen thought for a moment.

Then without hesitation, he hurried to the main entrance.

I met Mrs. Song on the road. She also looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

At this time, people were already standing outside Song's residence, most of them were imperial guards wearing armor.

As for the one in the middle, it is Wang Jin, the eunuch who oversees the ceremony.

He held the imperial edict in both hands and looked intently.

And around Song's house.

A large group of people watched from a distance.

Although he was in the capital, it was still rare for the emperor to issue an imperial edict.

In particular, many people know that Song Gongwen was not only the young minister of Dali Temple, but also the abbot of the country.

Therefore, some people speculate that if someone suddenly comes to the palace, is it because His Majesty is going to promote him?

"I'm a member of the official Song Dynasty. I've met the prince."

Song Gongwen just went out and was shocked when he saw such a battle.

However, Song Gongwen did not show it on his face, and instead took his wife to see the ceremony quickly. He knew about this prince. His Majesty's personally appointed chief eunuch, the chief eunuch, was the head of the twelve eunuchs in the inner palace.

Don't dare to overdo it.

"Lord Song, there is no need to be like this." Wang Jin, who knew the content of the imperial edict, said with a smile on his face: "Let's do business first."

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is right!" Song Gongwen looked at the imperial edict in the other party's hand and asked his wife and the servants in the family to kneel down.

His intuition told him that His Majesty's imperial edict might not be simple, but would be beneficial!

But what are the benefits?

If it was just a simple transfer, there would be no need to issue an imperial edict.

Could it be that His Majesty saw my depression and lack of ambition and wanted to give me a big promotion?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, it should be a reward.

At this moment, Song Gongwen felt a little uneasy.

But I didn’t dare to think wildly.

Seeing this, Wang Jin suppressed his smile, slowly opened the imperial edict, and said: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says: Song Gongwen, the young minister of Dali Temple, has both talent and virtue, and very good conduct. He has fulfilled his duties for many years without any complaints.

,I am deeply gratified.”

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, and now I am promoted to the Bachelor of Song Gongwen Cabinet, and at the same time, I am temporarily appointed as the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I appreciate this!"

As soon as this decree came out, not only Song Gongwen was shocked, but also the crowd of people watching looked in disbelief.

From the time Wang Jin brought people to announce the decree, many people could guess it.

Song Gongwen may be promoted.

But no one expected...

Your Majesty, you actually want to directly promote him to the rank of Cabinet Bachelor...

"This..." Song Gongwen was even speechless and couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Wang, is this decree wrong?"

From being a young minister of the fourth rank of Dali Temple to directly entering the palace, it can be described as reaching the sky in one step.

He even directly doubted whether the other party had conveyed the wrong imperial edict.

Mrs. Song next to her also had a look of shock on her face.

"Master Song, you can't talk nonsense."

Wang Jin said seriously: "This is written by His Majesty himself and stamped with a jade seal. If there is any mistake, our family will be beheaded."

Hearing this, Song Gongwen nodded repeatedly. The other party was His Majesty's personal eunuch. How could he convey the wrong imperial edict? But he quickly realized that his position was not Li Fang's.

At that moment, he raised his head and couldn't help but said: "I am temporarily acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs... What about Master Li Fang? What should he do?"

"Li Fang?" Wang Jin sneered: "Your Majesty has allowed him to retire and return to his hometown."

Isn’t Li Fang only in her fifties? How could she be old?

And the other party is the second-ranking figure in the cabinet.

Not to mention overwhelming power.

But he was also very prestigious in the court.

How could such a person choose to retire in old age?

"Sir Song, it's time for you to accept the order." Wang Jin urged at this time.

"Yes!" Song Gongwen came to his senses and knelt down on the ground: "Weak minister Song Gongwen, thank you for your kindness!"

After saying that, he quickly reached out his hand, took the imperial edict, and then read it again. The content above was clearly written, allowing himself to be appointed as the cabinet bachelor and temporarily acting as the minister of household affairs!

"My lord, I have accepted the imperial edict. From now on, our family will call you Songge Lao." Wang Jin said with a smile.

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it!" Song Gongwen's hand holding the imperial edict was still trembling slightly.

It seems that until now, I still can’t believe it.

Enter the cabinet directly.

It's what he dreamed of.

But when that day does come.

But Song Gongwen was in a trance, as if he was in a dream.

I was still thinking about this before, but now it has become a reality?

Isn’t this incredible?

Could it be that your daughter has turned a deaf ear to His Majesty?

No, it's impossible. My daughter doesn't have such a lot of energy.

But why did His Majesty suddenly promote me? Song Gongwen was puzzled.

However, as someone who has experienced this, Wang Jin naturally feels the same way when he looks at the other person.

When His Majesty was promoted to the position of Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Isn't that the same for you?
To be continued...
