The next morning the weather was gloomy.
Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan went to court together.
Without waiting for the courtiers to speak, Wen Qingzhu directly proposed that Wei Ziying should take over the position of temporary prime minister.
When these words came out, the courtiers didn't know how to object.
After all, Wei Ziying's identity, status, family background, talents, education and political achievements are not as bad as those of Pei Yu, or even better.
What Pei Yu has more than Wei Ziying is just his many years of experience in handling government affairs and the group of upstart forces he has slowly won over.
There was silence in the court for a moment, and Wei Ziying came out and asked to resign: "I cannot bear this position."
"It makes sense for Lord Wei to be so worried. After all, Lord Wei has no experience in directly commanding the entire six departments."
"You are right, but Master Wei was also on par with Prime Minister Pei back then. He lacked some experience, but doesn't he still have subordinates to assist him now?"
…
Some people do not agree that the position of prime minister should be replaced by others, and naturally some people agree.
The court gradually divided into three factions, one agreed and the other disagreed, but the people in Yushitai remained silent.
It wasn't until Jiang Yuanhan spoke that the court became quiet.
"I have listened to your opinions and understand your considerations. However, the Prime Minister's affairs have always been heavy. If Prime Minister Pei is away, someone will definitely be needed to replace him. Mr. Wei may not be able to bear the burden alone, so I decided to add two more people. "
He turned back to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Which two people do you think are the best, sister?"
Wen Qingzhu laughed, because he hadn't thought about it yet.
She looked at the civil and military officials below and said calmly: "Master Wei is capable, it's just a matter of time. Now is the Year of Zhaowu, so naturally we have to give the younger generation a chance."
When these words came out, someone immediately objected: "Princess! The Prime Minister's duties are very important and cannot be done casually!"
Wen Qingzhu interrupted him unhappily: "I haven't finished speaking yet, and you are so anxious to interrupt?"
Those who originally wanted to follow behind and object suddenly stopped.
Compared to the little emperor, Wen Qingzhu is a more powerful and uncompromising person.
The torture at Dongmen yesterday was spread among the people, and they knew it even more.
Wen Qingzhu agreed to this matter.
As a result, the hall was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Wen Qingzhu curled up the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, they were all just wallflowers.
She continued: "Fu Yu, Wan Hongyu."
"Wei Chen is here." The two stood at the back and stood in the middle aisle.
"Come forward."
The two hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the front.
Wen Qingzhu then said: "You two are both talented people. Fu Yu is a daughter of a famous family, and Wan Hongyu was once a member of the late emperor's family. You are able to work closely. In any case, you are very suitable. We will follow Wei in the future." Sir, study hard."
"I thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Both of them knelt down to accept the order.
After going to court, Jiang Yuanhan followed Wen Qingzhu, full of doubts.
Wen Qingzhu squinted at him: "If you want to ask, just ask."
"Sister, why didn't you choose Cui Xiushan? According to the situation, this is an opportunity for the Cui family, but it is Fu Yu. I originally wanted to reuse him."
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Since we want to reuse him, the sooner the better. After all, Cui Xiushan is not a member of the Cui family. If he were to be put in the position of prime minister this time, he might really be eaten up and wiped out, which would be bad for the Cui family. He even harmed him, you know, Cui Xiushan was a member of the Lei family before."
"Yes!" Jiang Yuanhan suddenly realized and couldn't help but slap his forehead.
He explained enthusiastically: "What my sister means is that the Cui family is now too weak to resist. The Fu family still has Fu Jing and the others, but the Cui family only has Cui Li."
"Actually, I have another consideration, that is, Cui Xiushan's marriage has not been settled yet. If his marriage is taken advantage of by others, then I will really feel sorry for Mr. Cui."
When Wen Qingzhu thought about what happened yesterday, he was afraid that Cui Xiushan would be in a low mood for a long time.
The news quickly spread out of the capital and reached the ears of Pei Yu, the Pei family.
He was dressed in regular clothes, sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea, feeling very comfortable.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, his face still showed no change, and he waved to let them all go down.
Several confidants looked at me and I looked at you, and finally resigned and left.
After they left, Pei Zhixuan came out of the house.
She came over with a new teapot and gave Pei Yu a cup of tea: "What is grandpa going to do?"
Pei Yu looked up at the gloomy sky and said leisurely: "I was a little surprised that she didn't choose Cui Xiushan, but that's fine. It's time to take care of your affairs."
He turned to look at Pei Zhixuan, his eyes dark.
Pei Zhixuan put down the teapot and sat across from Pei Yu: "Is grandfather so worried about Pei Yi? He is also a member of the Pei family, so he can't really treat grandfather well, right?"
"When did Xuan'er become so naive?" Pei Yu said with a smile in his eyes and a gentle voice.
But when it fell into Pei Zhixuan's ears, she immediately became nervous and immediately put on a well-behaved look: "Grandpa said so."
Seeing that she refused to confess, Pei Yu's face became angry and he suddenly raised the handle of the chair: "Zhixuan has reached her age. It is indeed time to think about her life-long affairs."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Zhixuan raised her head and insisted: "Isn't Cui Li good? Cui Xiushan is an outsider after all."
Seeing that she dared to resist him, Pei Yu felt a little happy on his face: "It's not that Cui Li is bad, it's that he can't hold a big position. What's more, the old man Cui created Cui Xiushan just because he wanted to use the power of the Lei family to protect Cui Li. This guy has been a military doctor for several years, and he is getting more and more weak! I don't like it, not to mention, don't you like that Soho? Did you just fall in love with him? "
When Su Huo was mentioned, Pei Zhixuan's face turned pale, but she restrained herself in the end: "It was before, but Su Huo has married Zhou Yi. I won't ask for anything more. Besides, from the past to the present, my grandfather has not Have you always looked down upon him?"
"I do like him, and I once revealed that I wanted him to marry you. It's a pity that this guy is ignorant and says that he is not worthy of you. He clearly despises you!" Pei Yu picked up the tea cup and mentioned a past event.
As soon as these words came out, Pei Zhixuan froze, with countless words stuck in her heart and she didn't know what to say.
Pei Yu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, took the cattail leaf fan and shook it gently: "You are my most beloved granddaughter. I put aside my prejudice and put my hope in you, so naturally I have to give you consideration."
"Grandpa." Pei Zhixuan's eyes immediately turned red.
Pei Yu frowned: "Don't look so weak! I am your grandfather, so I will naturally consider it for you. I asked you to go to the northwest. I didn't just let you control Pei Yi. The old man you asked to tell fortunes, what fortune did you tell? Ge, I know that too."
Pei Zhixuan was very excited, but she could only hold it in with all her strength.
Because she knew her grandfather didn't like her crying and thought it was weakness.
"Go on, go on. I will take care of the matters in the capital. Isn't there Pei Dongli here?" Pei Yu waved his hand and turned to look in the direction of the palace.
It's time for Wen Qingzhu to start investigating the problem of corpse-eating insects on Lian Xin's body.
At night, someone sent news that Pei Zhixuan left Beijing overnight, and the route was headed to Jiangnan.
Wen Qingzhu was checking the process of Jiang Yue's funeral. When he heard the news, the first thought that came to his mind was: Pei Zhixuan finally gave up being the queen
But soon, she calmed down.
Pei Zhixuan must have other reasons for leaving Beijing.
Is it Pei Yi
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange. It was impossible for Pei Yi alone to let Pei Zhixuan leave the capital, right
She is a very important card in Pei Yu's hand. By leaving, she is giving up a lot of things.
For example, becoming a queen, or giving up on the Cui family and Fu Shiyi.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head, it was still wrong.
According to the information sent by Hei Jiren and the Ministry of Punishment, Pei Yu's people have been trying to rehabilitate Fu Shiyi for the past two days.
Obviously Pei Yu doesn't intend to give up on Fu Shiyi.
Then how could he let Pei Zhixuan leave
When she was puzzled, someone outside reported that it was Cui Li who wanted to see her.
Wen Qingzhu was slightly startled, remembering that the relationship between Pei Zhixuan and Cui Li was also strange.
When he was announced to have come in, Cui Li directly bent down and gave his hand, explaining his purpose: "Wei Chen came here late at night and wanted to ask the princess to allow me to leave the capital and go to the northwest to help."
"Wait!" Wen Qingzhu immediately raised his hand and asked him, "You are not going to the northwest because of Pei Zhixuan? Are you going?"
Cui Li looked confused: "She also went to the northwest? What did she do in the northwest!"
Soon Cui Li's face turned heavy, as if he had thought of something.
Wen Qingzhu himself was surprised that Pei Zhixuan left Beijing without telling Cui Li.
This shows that both people have their own purposes.
Slowly, Cui Li's expression returned to calm.
Wen Qingzhu asked him: "What are you doing in the northwest at this time?"
"I want to go visit Medicine God Valley. I got some advice from Valley Master Xue earlier, so I went over to express my thanks this time. In addition, there has been no news about Fu Lie, which makes me feel very uneasy. He has experienced so many things, but he has never been in such a situation. "
Cui Li revealed his purpose with worry on his face.
Wen Qingzhu knew that he had an excellent relationship with Fu Lie, so he naturally understood that he really went there for Fu Lie.
But she was still a little worried: "The King of the Huns is dead. Although the Huns will be busy with civil strife in a short time, they may launch a surprise attack. You are the only descendant of the Cui family, and I can't let you take risks."
"Princess, Xiushan is also from the Cui family." Cui Li corrected her with a straight face.
Wen Qingzhu slowly shook his head: "Xiushan is from the Cui family, but you are Mr. Cui's only bloodline."
Cui Li's lips moved twice, but in the end he didn't refute anything.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu brought up the important matter of his marriage: "Have you really never considered getting married and having a child first?"
"What about the princess?" Cui Li raised his head and asked him.
Wen Qingzhu's veins were throbbing on his head, and he almost wanted to slap him unconscious.
But this question did get to the point. She and Fu Lie didn't have children yet.
Fu Lie is also in Dingyuan.
"Fu Lie is better than you." Wen Qingzhu calmly gave a reason.
Cui Li refuted: "Those who drown are all people who know how to swim."
"You-" This sentence really made Wen Qingzhu angry, and she almost wanted to pry open his elm head to see what was inside.
After being angry for a long time, Wen Qingzhu calmed down a little: "If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Mr. Cui. He has arranged so many things and never forced you to get married. Can't you just accommodate him?"
The room fell into silence for a long time before Cui Li spoke: "I am a sinner of the Cui family. Living is already a luxury. Leaving my bloodline will only bring darkness to the Cui family."
Wen Qingzhu had a headache and really didn't know what to say to him.
Fortunately, someone outside announced that the emperor had arrived.
As soon as Jiang Yuanhan came in, he saw Wen Qingzhu winking at him.
