Yesterday, when he entered the palace to face the saint, although Emperor Jianping didn't say any words of praise, he was very appreciative when he looked at his son.
After finishing all the business, King Wei was about to leave the palace, but Emperor Jianping stopped him.
"Recently, Concubine Wei doesn't enter the palace very much. Your concubine mother always feels lonely when she is usually alone. If there is nothing wrong, Concubine Wei should come to the palace more often to accompany your concubine mother."
This sentence is worth dozens of sentences, at least it shows that Emperor Jianping is watching what happened outside.
There are always good and bad things in everything, and these things are not without other effects besides tarnishing the reputation of King Wei. It is a mediocrity not to be envied by others, and it is because Wei Wang's momentum is too strong that some people stir up the muddy water with such rumors about attacking women.
Seriously speaking, this kind of method is a bit indiscriminate. Emperor Jianping is well versed in the emperor's mind, and may often give people a cold-blooded feeling, but he just hates this kind of indiscriminate method.
Especially his own son. Everyone in the world expects their son to become a dragon. As an emperor, while guarding against his son, he also doesn't want his son to be reduced to the point where he uses indiscriminate methods.
So not only is it difficult to be an emperor, but it is also the same to be a prince.
Neither light nor heavy, good nor bad, everything has to be guessed at the emperor's heart, but also guessed without trace, can't make a wrong step, otherwise you will miss the throne.
"I was reckless back then. In order to prove myself, I passed the examination. My father filled it up for me afterwards, so my brother Fang Fengfu's name is on the genealogy, but now these things can't be self-certified."
Speaking of the absurd things back then, Feng Sheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, on the surface nothing could be seen, but the hand under the sleeve couldn't help rubbing the other hand.
King Wei glanced at her.
Princess Wei, who has always been calm and composed, has never been so embarrassed before. King Wei felt a little joking, pulled her hand over, and played with it in his palm.
"Although I haven't passed the exam, I know that I will be searched before entering the exam room. How did you escape that?"
Feng Sheng didn't expect King Wei to ask this question, cleared his throat, and said uncomfortably: "Actually, it's nothing, just put some money and go." In addition, Fang's family is a big family in the local area, Feng Sheng was famous when he was young, No one would recklessly search her body and stuff some money.
The child will pass naturally.
But this is only limited to the hospital examination, and the rural examination will not be so easy to deceive after that, which is why Feng Sheng stopped the hospital examination. If it wasn't for Fang Yan who found out afterwards, he knew that it would be difficult to deceive Sou Zi later on. Given Feng Sheng's youthful vigor back then, he might have gone to the countryside to try.
"I didn't realize that you were still young and vigorous?" Wei Wang's tone was very teasing.
Feng Sheng blushed, and retorted: "Don't you have one?"
Really not, the life in the palace is too tough, Wei Wang knew the importance of advancing and retreating when he was a few years old, and his youthful vigor really has nothing to do with him, because if he is careless, he will not only hurt himself, but also hurt him Concubine Li. The situation of Concubine Li in the palace was also seen by King Wei, so how could she make trouble for her mother.
King Wei mentioned some things about his childhood, although he didn't go into details, he let Feng Sheng know the difficulties of Concubine Li's mother and child.
It's also difficult, so let's not mention anything else, just talk about Wei Wang's marriage, if it really goes well, Wei Wang will not be over twenty or five years old and still have no heirs, let alone the marriage will never be successful, and naturally he will not meet Feng Sheng .
Therefore, time is fate.
While talking, the two talked about the self-proving matter that Feng Sheng said just now, which was immediately denied.
Among other things, first of all, self-certification will fall to the lower ranks, and then the latter rumor, the ultimate intention is not to expose Feng Sheng's identity at all, but to use Wei Wang and Fang's involvement to attack Wei Wang's reputation.
From this point of view, at least the other party did the right thing. King Wei, who had a high reputation in the court, has now become notorious.
"This matter is estimated to be the work of the Zhonggong Department. There must be other people involved in the muddy water, but we need to investigate the details."
Feng Sheng paused, then suddenly remembered one thing: "There is one more thing."
"What's up?"
"The Chen family has come to Beijing. It is Chen Qinghua from the Jiangxi Chen family. He seems to be here for the cabinet this time."
After learning about the Chen family in Jiangxi that time, Feng Sheng asked people to check the Chen family, and also made people keep a close eye on their things, so Chen Qinghua's entry into Beijing became more conspicuous.
King Wei frowned: "Do you think the Jiangxi Chen family is helping the Zhonggong family to make suggestions?"
"Is not it?"
King Wei shook his head: "Chen Qinghua would not use such indecent means, and he would not destroy the Great Wall himself. You probably don't know that the Chen family I mentioned back then had private contact with me. On the surface, it seemed to be Cheng Engong. The people of the Chen family in Fufu actually have the shadow of the Chen family in Jiangxi behind them, and they deliberately leaked traces to let me know."
Feng Sheng didn't know that there was such an incident in between, so she couldn't help frowning.
"But firstly, I didn't intend to do this, and secondly, I was disturbed by my good brother. I guess this time it's not the main reason for attacking me, but the real reason is to disturb the relationship between me and the Chen family. It may be beneficial to meet later, or something else. Seeing that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, people simply took advantage of the situation, and that's why there was such a scene. But whether it is true or not, you have to check to find out."
King Wei did not guess wrong, and later he ordered someone to investigate, and the matter was indeed inextricably related to King Hui.
But if we continue to search, there is also the shadow of the Chen family in Jiangxi. King Hui is well-versed in doing this, and he is well versed in the method of digging holes behind the lines in front. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Chen family hides behind him.
As for the subsequent matter, it is more or less related to King Wu and King Zhao, because too many people have intervened, and it is impossible to find out who the culprit is. It's a big deal, it would be better if you can cheat the two of them.
On the other side, Chen Qinghua didn't take this matter seriously at first, but instead looked at the situation with a bit of a smile, who knows that the development of the matter is getting more and more out of estimate.
In the end, he already felt that something was wrong, but he ordered someone to check that there was indeed the shadow of King Wu and King Zhao. King Hui said that someone took the opportunity to harm him and King Wei, and even asked the Chen family to find a way. Chen Qinghua didn't suspect this matter on King Hui.
As for King Hui, after setting up the overall situation, he appeared to be in and out of the palace as if nothing had happened on the surface, showing no sign of guilt, which made the people who had been watching all the time unclear who the instigator was.
At this point in the matter, even a fool would know that someone is behind King Wei's back, but it's really unclear who it is.
The final result of the matter is to let it go. As for whether it is really a let-down, the situation is too chaotic for a while, so it is not clear.
As the chief assistant Wang Yu was about to retire, the court also became turbulent.
Now that the chief assistant has retired, a new chief assistant must be elected, and the vacant position in the cabinet must be filled. This matter is much more important than the battle between the princes, and for a while, no one mentioned how the King of Wei benefited the King.
Just after the morning court, all the officials walked out of the palace along the palace road.
The cabinet hall is located at the root of the southern part of the Forbidden City, which happens to be on the same road as leaving the palace, so there must be some companions around the important ministers of the court.
Among them, the cabinet members have the most vassals, especially the chief assistant Wang Yu.
Although Wang Yu is about to retire, but as long as he hasn't retired for a day, he will still be the first assistant. A few days ago, he handed over the paperwork for begging for bones again. When the paperwork is handed up again, His Majesty will definitely agree.
After all, Wang Shoufu also worked hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty for decades, not to mention merits and demerits, dedication is absolute, Emperor Jianping has always done things calmly, and will not chill the hearts of veterans.
Now Wang Yu still holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although the official rank of a bachelor is low, it is normal for ministers of various ministries to also lead cabinet ministers. If he really retreats, Ji Zhongnian, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhao Shujie, Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Boxue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Huanjie, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Fan Changliang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, will all have a fight.
However, Jiang Boxue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is getting old, and it is estimated that he will retire in a few years. The selection of the chief assistant by the imperial court will not be the same as child's play. After all, the attitude of the chief assistant is related to the general direction of the future government. It will not take a few years to select one. It would be too much to put the cart before the horse, so Jiang Boxue is unlikely.
Then there are only these four left. Among them, Zhao Shujie, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Ji Zhongnian, Minister of the Household Department, are the most likely. These two are not only highly experienced in the court, but also highly respected.
Zhao Shujie, as Minister of the Ministry of War, has an extremely gentle temper. The Ministry of War deals with the generals of the military.
And Ji Zhongnian's temper seems to be hot, but that is only when there is something wrong with the household department. He will not get involved with anyone who has nothing to do with the household department. Money bag.
Therefore, there are also many companions around these two people, second only to Wang Yu.
However, the two of them had a lot of taboos, but they walked away in a hurry after a few words of gossip, seeming to be busier than Shoufu, probably because they didn't want Wang Shoufu to feel uncomfortable.
After all, people leave the tea to cool down, and this person hasn't left yet, so it can't make people feel that the tea is getting cold.
"You always tell us, what is the meaning of His Majesty, otherwise this mess will make people's hearts impetuous." Lu Baochun, the minister of Dali Temple, was wearing a scarlet official robe with peacock patches embroidered on it. With a smile on his face, he smiled very affectionately at Wang Yu, and his tone also revealed affection.
That's right, it wasn't that person, and he didn't dare to ask Wang Yu about it right here.
Before the former Shoufu became official, he also had a certain say in the candidate to take over as Shoufu, especially Wang Yu, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Jianping, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the position of Shoufu for so many years.
It's a pity that this time Lu Baochun was destined to be disappointed, his beard and hair were all white, and he walked tremblingly. Wang Shoufu just smiled, but didn't say anything.
At this time Jiang Boxue, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came up, and Lu Baochun couldn't ask any more questions, so he smiled at the two of them and left.
"Are you here to pester you again?"
Wang Yu stroked his beard and continued to walk forward: "This person wants to climb up, but he doesn't know that this position looks good, but it's not easy to sit in. But I can't make the decision on this matter, that person has a plan in his mind." It's on."
This "that person" naturally refers to Emperor Jianping.
The king has always been strong and the minister is weak, and the ruler is weak when the minister is strong. Although Emperor Jianping was not an arbitrary master, he always had rules and regulations in his work, and others could not easily interfere. Wang Yu just wanted to be safe and stable. Qingyi, of course she wouldn't interrupt indiscriminately at a time like this.
Because of this, those who wanted to make an idea of him were all wrong.
"It's also fortunate that they know a little bit about the world." Jiang Boxue looked around, pointing out something.
He also has white hair and beard, but his body and bones look healthier than Wang Yukang. In fact, he also planned to retire, but he always had to come one by one. Two positions in the cabinet were vacated at once, which caused even greater shocks. Just stick to Wang Yu first.
Few people knew about this matter, and the two of them were considered insiders, so they spoke relatively transparently, because there was no interest involved.
Wang Yu shook his head at him with a smile: "At my age, what do I still care about sophistication? They respect me, and I accept it. They don't respect me, and it doesn't affect me at all. It's just that some of them are superficial. , some people don’t bother to do it.”
"Then what do you think of those two?" Jiang Boxue asked abruptly.
Wang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed and scolded: "You old bastard just talked about others, and now you are also curious, squirming, I can't answer this question, you just wait and see."
Jiang Boxue was not annoyed when he was scolded, but just smiled at Wang Yu. The two veteran ministers, who were almost three years old together, staggered and walked towards the cabinet lobby together.
Obviously the back view is not very tall and mighty, but it makes people dare not underestimate it.
