Seeing Dong Wanshan's sincerity and fear, Rong Changan covered his mouth and smiled. I must have come here for the prime minister's affairs, but I was afraid of being like this, how could I look like a prime minister! A light of contempt flashed across Rong Changan's almond eyes.
Rong Changan smiled, looked around, and said: "This is the garden of my Fengming Palace, there are no other outsiders, there are only flowers, birds, fish and insects, if they can talk nonsense, this world will really be unreasonable .”
At this time, Dong Wanshan came back to his senses, heaved a long sigh of relief, unconsciously took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Come here, pour Master Dong a cup of tea!" Rong Changan said to Dong Wanshan again, "Master Dong, please sit down! There is nothing here to entertain Your Excellency, and please redeem your sins!"
Dong Wanshan was polite for a while, then sat down beside Rong Changan. He looked very embarrassed, probably because Rong Changan's words just now frightened him.
Rong Changan said: "Master Dong has something to do, but it's okay to say, there are actually no outsiders here."
Dong Wanshan looked around again, and then said: "Empress, today I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Rong Changan asked, stroking his hair on his ears and temples, taking a sip of tea.
Dong Wan hurt Nuyan and said: "Today, that is, just now in Shang's study, I heard a very bad news."
Rong Changan said, "What bad news?"
Dong Wanshan swallowed his saliva and said: "I told you not to be angry, empress. When discussing matters with the emperor, Mr. Zhao Hongru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, actually suggested to the emperor that he should create another queen!"
This is not a new thing here in Rong Changan. Both the queen mother and Li Hai intend to make Ziyan the queen, but she doesn't really care about who is the queen. What she cares about is getting revenge on Ziyan and making Ziyan pay off her debts in her previous life .
"Oh," Rong Changan feigned surprise, "What did the emperor say?"
Dong Wanshan came to see Rong Changan just to please Rong Changan, let Rong Changan intercede for him in front of the emperor, and let him be the prime minister of Dajing Kingdom.
"Actually, the emperor doesn't agree with Zhao Hongru's suggestion. Zhao Hongru is too stubborn and insidious. On the surface, you are very loyal to the empress, but in fact, he is yin and yang. In front of the emperor, he suggested that the imperial concubine Ziyan be the queen. , This...isn't this your station, Queen of Dismantlement!"
Rong Changan said with a smile: "The empress manages the affairs of the six palaces for the emperor. It is very cumbersome. In fact, I don't want to be such an empress! If there is Ziyan noble concubine to support me, I will be too happy. How can you say that I am demolished?" Where is the platform!"
Dong Wanshan glanced at Rong Changan in amazement: Oh my god, is this Rong Changan? She would allow another woman to share her status!
Rong Changan was magnanimous, but Dong Wanshan was not magnanimous, he could give up the position of prime minister to Zhao Hongru without any temper.
"Empress, don't you know yet? The crux of the matter is not which of you will be the queen, nor the two of you being the queen together, but Zhao Hongru, who has ulterior motives. He wants to achieve his goal of becoming the prime minister by currying favor with the noble concubine Ziyan." , this person is too insidious!"
Rong Changan covered his nose with his hands, and said with a smile, "According to Mr. Dong, what should I do?"
Dong Wanshan said indignantly: "If a new queen is really established, then the harem will be in chaos, and the Dajing Kingdom will be in chaos! The empress is the emperor's right-hand man, and she definitely does not want to see such a situation happen. Therefore, the empress should help the emperor choose a shrewd and capable man. , the person who understands the overall situation is the current prime minister, not the stubborn and vicious Zhao Hongru."
Rong Changan asked tentatively: "Master Dong said, who is suitable to be the prime minister of the Great Jing Kingdom?" After a pause, he smiled, "Is that you, Master Dong?"
Dong Wanshan quickly waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "Of course it's not me, of course it's not me! But among the ministers in the court, there are still many officials who are more capable, knowledgeable and experienced than Zhao Hongru, and they are more suitable to be prime minister than Zhao Hongru. "
Rong Changan stood up, came to a peony, picked a petal, put it in his nose and sniffed: "Master Dong, tell me, who is more suitable than Zhao Hongru?"
"For example..." Dong Wanshan was embarrassed to say it was himself, so he thought for a long time, "For example, Master Bai, the Minister of the Ministry of War! For example... For example, Lord Censor Yan! For example..."
Dong Wanshan finally talked about the person Rong Changan was interested in, and Rong Changan asked: "Master Dong thinks Master Yan is capable of being prime minister?"
Yan Li recently went to the disaster-stricken area to provide relief and quelled the anger of the people. It can be said that he is in the limelight, but he is only a newcomer. There is a big gap in fame and prestige with Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan. Therefore, Dong Wanshan did not think that Yan Li was a suitable candidate for prime minister, and Li Hai would not choose Yan Li as prime minister.
"Yan Yushi is talented because he is talented, but being a prime minister depends not only on talent, but also on the aura that gathers people's hearts. Yan Yushi doesn't have that kind of aura."
Rong Changan nodded approvingly at Dong Wanshan's words.
Although what Dong Wanshan said was jealousy, it touched on the essence of the problem. Yan Li's shortcomings are indeed the same as what Dong Wanshan said, if Yan Li wants to be prime minister, he must overcome the above shortcomings.
Rong Changan's eyebrows tightened a little.
Dong Wanshan was good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw Rong Changan's gloomy expression, he smiled and said, "Yan Yushi can't be prime minister, but there are still many ministers who are suitable to be prime minister..."
Dong Wanshan didn't know that Rong Changan wanted Yan Li to be the prime minister, and he said whatever came to his mind.
Rong Changan said with deep meaning: "What if the emperor insists on making Yan Yushi the prime minister?"
Dong Wanshan was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of Rong Changan's words. Why would the emperor insist on making Yan Li the prime minister? In Shangshufang today, no matter from any aspect, it is impossible to see that Li Hai wants to make Yan Li the prime minister.
"How could the emperor let Yan Yushi be the prime minister!" Dong Wanshan said with a smile, "There are many people in front of him!"
"Oh..." Rong Changan responded in a low voice. She just knew that Yan Li would definitely be Li Hai's prime minister, but she had no way of knowing exactly how to become one.
"Master Dong, what is the purpose of coming here today?" Rong Changan said with a smile, "Do you want me to say a few words in front of the emperor so that Master Dong can get his wish?"
Dong Wanshan's body trembled slightly: Empress Rong is really not easy, she guessed his heart!
"Empress, in fact, this humble minister is just..."
Rong Changan didn't let Dong Wanshan continue, but just smiled: "I won't say anything unnecessary, since Mr. Dong has come to my Fengming Palace, how can I not respond!"
Although Zi Yan is now the emperor's darling, the person in charge of the Six Palaces is Rong Chang'an after all, and her words carry more weight in Li Hai's heart. Dong Wanshan felt that he was right to come today.
