The so-called great merit is just an argument. Everyone knows that the position of the cabinet scholar has long been prepared for Wei Zhi, and it only depends on the length of time.
This is the youngest 21-year-old bachelor in history, bar none.
At present, in Tiansheng’s highest decision-making organization, there are five bachelors and eleven Chinese scholars. The latter are only responsible for the transcription, sorting and delivery of documents. Only the former is the brain of the country. Shengdi is old, and the cabinet has stronger control over the affairs of the court. Because the former chief assistant Yao Ying retired, the former second assistant Hu Shengshan was promoted to the chief assistant. Wei Zhi, a new name, is ranked second in the list of cabinet scholars, ahead of Xin Ziyan, who is advanced in the cabinet.
In other words, Feng Zhiwei was the second assistant as soon as she entered the cabinet.
The moment she stepped into Haoyunxuan, even Feng Zhiwei was a little dazed. She was still in a daze back then. She was just a Chinese scholar under Yao Ying who was in charge of writing the chapters, but she was just an observer of the court affairs again.
The Grand Scholars arrived and were discussing matters. The head of state, Ning Yi, drank tea with his head bowed. She didn't look up when she came in.
Feng Zhiwei saluted Ning Yi, and when she took the first seat on the right under Ning Yi's seat, she had already regained her composure.
Hu Shengshan nodded and smiled at her, and then returned to the topic he was interrupted, "Your Highness, Your Majesty was furious yesterday, and already sent back the brochure, look..."
Ning Yi expressed no distinction between joy and anger, nodded, put the teacup aside, turned his gaze, and suddenly called Feng Zhiwei's name.
"Scholar Wei, what do you think of this?"
Feng Zhiwei was startled, what is this nonsensical question? Trying to figure out the meaning of what you just said, it probably refers to the war in the south. Changning has conquered seven counties in the northern part of Longbei and is approaching the Hengjiang River that runs through the middle of Tiansheng. It is normal for His Majesty to be angry because of this. , but from my point of view, there may not be any intention of annexing the world. Your Majesty need not worry about the loss of a moment and a place. Given time... "
Before she finished speaking, several Grand Maesters laughed.
Hu Shengshan stroked his beard, turned his head to Xin Ziyan and said, "Look, it's no wonder that this man is promoted so fast, he is really full of the great cause of the country."
Feng Zhiwei was confused, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked, "Is there something wrong?"
She seldom had such a silly expression, everyone watched happily and even made fun of her, but in a blink of an eye they saw that Ning Yi was not smiling, so they quickly suppressed their smiles.
Ning Yi's eyes fell on her lightly, and said: "Scholar Wei, you've lost your mind. What Scholar Hu said just now was about my king's marriage."
Feng Zhiwei was stunned, his face turned red, then turned pale, then he regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Forgive me, Your Highness, I really didn't expect that the first major event to be involved in the cabinet would be your concubine appointment .”
"His Royal Highness's affairs are state affairs." Hu Shengshan said, "It's just...the person His Highness wants to accept has some inappropriate identity. His Majesty does not agree now. Mr. Wei has always had ingenious schemes. I wonder if there is any good way?"
Another scholar, Han Songzhong, said with a smile, "No one else can control this matter, but Mr. Wei must. Speaking of which, the lady His Royal Highness wants to accept is Mr. Wei, who made her complete reconciliation."
Feng Zhiwei picked up the tea in hand, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile: "I have only judged one peace case, could it be the lady from the former Five Army Commander's Mansion? Speaking of which, the Qiu family belongs to me." Old friends of the elders, I should help with this kind of help." She turned to Ning Yi and said, "Miss Qiu was born in a pitiful life, and later met someone who is not good, and now it is her blessing to be selected by His Highness, as long as His Highness asks , the next official must do his best."
"That's the case." Ning Yi immediately said, "Your Majesty is angry, he always loves you, you can go to the palace and persuade him slowly when you have time, I'll leave Xiao Wang to Senior Scholar Wei for such a trivial matter."
He looked straight at Feng Zhiwei, Feng Zhiwei smiled in a dazed way in the mist of the tea, and slowly bowed her body.
"Your Highness loves you, dare not follow orders."
A few days later, Tiansheng Emperor Xuanfeng Zhiwei entered the palace, he did not meet her in the imperial study room, but held a banquet in the imperial garden, when Feng Zhiwei arrived, he unexpectedly saw Shao Ning and Concubine Qing.
This time she was also surprised, she is a foreign minister, how can she drink with the palace family and princess, but Tiansheng Emperor took her hand with a smile and said: "Wei Zhi, you don't have to be restrained, after all you are I watched him grow up, he has always been like his own nephew, don't be restrained today, be more casual." He glanced at Shao Ning as he spoke.
Feng Zhiwei understood what he meant. On the one hand, the old emperor was trying to win her over, and on the other hand, he was implying that they were a family. She hurriedly saluted Shaoning and Concubine Qing, and personally held the pot to pour wine for Emperor Tiansheng.
Emperor Tiansheng was in a good mood, the wine was dry, but the hand holding the cup trembled from time to time, Feng Zhiwei looked at him coldly, didn't say anything, just toasted frequently with a smile on his face, when the fifth cup was drunk, a pair of soft catkins gently He held down Tian Shengdi's hand.
Everyone raised their heads, and saw Concubine Qing showing a gentle smile to Emperor Tiansheng, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you can only drink two taels at most, don't drink any more." Take it away, and when you took it away, calmly wiped away the little saliva that dripped from Tian Shengdi's lips with his sleeve.
Emperor Tiansheng laughed and said: "Okay, okay, you just take care of it a lot, it's up to you, up to you." He casually said to Feng Zhiwei, "Women have a lot of things to do, drink well by yourself, let Shao Ning accompany you .”
"I don't dare, Your Majesty, please take the dragon's body as the most important thing." Feng Zhi smiled, and looked at Concubine Qing who was smiling at her from the corner of her eyes. At this moment, this woman has completely shed her seductive aura in the past, and she looks gentle and virtuous. I really don't know Is this her original face, or is it just another mask she put on as needed, but no matter what, this woman's influence over Emperor Tiansheng made her vigilant. A concubine who is pregnant but has lost her child is more likely to The fate of her is to fall out of favor, but she is still in favor, which is not in line with the old emperor's cold personality.
Tian Shengdi took a few mouthfuls of food, seemed to suddenly think of Shao Ning who had been silent all this time, put down his chopsticks, stared at her for a while, and sighed: "Zhaoer, you have been getting thinner recently, what's on your mind? Say it out, father and emperor will make the decision for you."
