When Princess Fenyang returned to the palace, her mood had completely calmed down. She went up the stairs and entered the study. She lingered in Prince Fenyang's study for a long time before coming out and calling out to Mr. Cui who had been waiting outside.
Mr. Cui hurriedly followed him in and asked in a low voice, "Princess, how is it going?"
"Take a look." Princess Fenyang handed the paper given by Mr. Bai to Mr. Cui and said with a frown, "Let me find a way to add this person to the list of replacements."
Mr. Cui took it in a hurry, opened the letter and saw the three words inside - "Yang Canzhi". He immediately sighed and said, "It turned out to be this gentleman..."
Yang Canzhi was also a famous official of the previous dynasty, but unlike Cui Daru, he did not resign and retire, but continued to serve as an official. It was just that he was highly valued by the deposed emperor and had a bad temper and was very irritable, so he was ostracized. Although he had made great achievements as an official and was very capable, he could not enter the cabinet and was sent to the Northwest Horse Farm to take charge of war horses. He has been raising horses and getting some fresh air all these years.
However, as long as someone lends him a hand and brings him back, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet.
Restraining his excitement, Mr. Cui hurriedly said to Princess Fenyang: "Princess! Although he is not as good as Cui Daru, he is also an excellent candidate. Moreover, we are in a dilemma now. There is no better choice at this time."
"I think so too." Princess Fenyang put the paper on the candle flame and burned it, and whispered to Mr. Cui: "Go and contact them and change the candidate to Yang Canzhi."
Cui Yuandao refused to take up a government post, but there was someone who could replace him.
Princess Fenyang couldn't help but frowning when she thought of Cui Yuandao, and said in a bad mood: "Send a message to the family, and tell them not to treat them too favorably from now on."
Even if he is a great scholar, so what? He has become famous by relying on his family, but he doesn't know how to give back. What kind of member of the family is he
Mr. Cui responded in a low voice.
Princess Fenyang added, "There is one more thing you can do for me. In Shanxi... I want to teach He a lesson."
Mr. Cui did not agree immediately this time. He hesitated and did not move. When he saw Princess Fenyang looking at him in confusion, he cleared his throat and shook his head: "Princess, it is not appropriate to make trouble at this time. The lessons of the past are still there. Why should we rush to cause trouble with the Su and He families?"
The current situation naturally requires us to gain a firm foothold first, get rid of previous hidden dangers, support our own people, and only think about other things after we are able to ensure our own interests.
Besides, Mrs. He was already deeply favored by Emperor Yuanfeng, and this favor was far greater than before. There was no need to confront him head-on.
Princess Fenyang's face turned pale.
She really couldn't hold back her anger, but she also knew that what Mr. Cui said made sense. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. If she failed because of rash actions... ...
She thought of the Xu family and the Chengguo Mansion before, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed, and gritted her teeth dully: "Is there no way... ..."
"No, there are ways, and there are many ways." Mr. Cui took over the conversation without hesitation: "It's not just our family that doesn't like the Su and He families. Su Rong's rise is so fast. How many veterans have he surpassed? What achievements did he have to go to Yunnan as a pioneer? It's not obvious now, but when he goes to Yunnan, they will know that being too arrogant will backfire. Their troubles will only increase. Let's not talk about the Tong family. You forgot that there is also the Princess Mingchang Mansion and the Tian family."
Of these two families, the young master of Princess Mingchang's Mansion fell into bad luck at the hands of Su Yao, and ended up in disgrace, causing Princess Mingchang's Mansion to lose a title.
Princess Mingchang has always had a bad temper. Even if you don't provoke her, you still have to worry about her ancestor getting angry, let alone Su Yao who has offended her so badly.
Speaking of the Tian family, Mr. Cui raised his eyebrows and told Princess Fenyang about the situation of the Tian family. He then said, "The Tian family is counting on the emergence of another Queen Mother Tian to preserve the Tian family's prosperity and wealth. Su Yao does nothing and is a target just standing there. So naturally someone will teach them a lesson for us. There is really no need for us to do anything unnecessary."
Mr. Cui tried to persuade her patiently, and even used up his eloquence, for he was afraid that Princess Fenyang would lose her mind.
Fortunately, Princess Fenyang did not let his long speech go to waste. She endured it and finally nodded gloomily, accepting Mr. Cui's advice.
Mr. Cui finally felt relieved.
Not long after, the court held a court recommendation. Cui Yuandao originally did not participate. Everyone thought that this candidate would be selected from the other pending lists. But who knew that when the previous list was read out, the Minister of Personnel took out another list and said with a smile: "There is another person who has been recommended and has also been included in the candidate list. Please think carefully again."
As he spoke, he mentioned Yang Canzhi's name.
Those present were all censors, representatives from the Ministry of Personnel and other ministries. When they heard this name, they were all shocked.
If Cui Yuandao is the popular choice, then Yang Canzhi can also crush other candidates.
In fact, everyone knows that Yang Canzhi is definitely a tough guy with real strength.
If more people close to Yang were to join the cabinet, then Yang Bo would truly be the one who had the final say. However, it was impossible for all the officials in the court to be Yang Bo's disciples. Naturally, no one wanted to rank behind those close to Yang Bo and take advantage of the situation. That was why Cui Yuandao's voice was so high before.
But Cui Yuandao happened to encounter a problem suddenly.
Everyone thought that Cui Yuandao was no longer capable and could only rise to the top among the short ones, but unexpectedly, a Yang Canzhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Finally, after a lot of struggle from all sides, Yang Canzhi was finally able to leave the horse breeding business in the Northwest, was transferred back to the capital, and was appointed Minister of Works and entered the cabinet.
When the results came out, Princess Fenyang finally showed her first happy smile in these days and was very happy.
But before she could be happy for long, she heard another explosive piece of news - after Cui Yuandao entered the palace, he asked Emperor Yuanfeng to follow Xiao Heng to Yunnan to quell the rebellion.
This news completely blew her mind, and she was so angry that she even forgot to be angry. She just stared at Mr. Cui in front of her and asked with gritted teeth: "What did you say!?"
Is Cui Yuandao crazy?!
The Cui family is his family, but he actually did such a thing. Does he know what he is doing? Has he considered what the Cui family will think and what the Cui family's position is? !
She thought this was too ridiculous, so she stood up with her hands on the table and went to the Cui family's old house in a rage. (To be continued)
