play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Imperial study room, inside the palace.

After Xuanyuan Che had breakfast with Qin Shu in Yuehua Palace, he returned to the imperial study.

At this time, a person from the palace came in to report. After Li Mo listened, he stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang and Doctor Zheng are outside the palace asking for an audience."

When Xuanyuan Che heard this, the reason why these two people came here now was probably because of the vacancy of the position of Minister of Rites. He said to the people standing in front of him: "Just in time, they are here. You go first and wait later, and listen." Listen to what they say."

The man standing in the hall bowed and said, "Yes." Then he retreated to the back.

Xuanyuan Che said to Li Mo: "Let them come in."

Li Mo: "Yes."

Immediately, Li Mo went outside the palace and led Wang Sheng and Zheng Yi inside.

Wang Sheng and Zheng Yi came in together and saluted the man sitting in front of the dragon case, "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Che looked directly at the two people in front of him and said quietly: "Get up."

Wang Sheng\Zheng Yi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Che: "What is the reason for these two dear friends coming here?"

Zheng Yi took the lead and said: "For your information, Your Majesty, according to the Emperor's instructions, I have led the Yushitai to sort out all the affairs of the Yang family. This is the document compiled after the conclusion of all the matters concerning the Yang family. Please take a look at the book."

Li Mo walked over, took the document from Zheng Yi's hand, and placed it in front of the emperor.

Xuanyuan Che did not look through it, but looked at Zheng Yi and said, "Well, I already know about this matter. Zheng Qing did a good job."

Zheng Yi said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is the duty of a humble minister."

Then, Wang Sheng took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, what happened to the Yang family is that the ministers mismanaged their subordinates, but now the post of Minister of Rites is vacant, and there is no one in charge of the Rites Department. Seeing that the new year is approaching, and the year-end sacrifices are held, the Rites Department is needed. Let's get started, Wei Chen believes that the new candidate for the post of Minister of Rites should be selected as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Zheng Yi also followed Wang Sheng and said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Xiang said is that the year-end ceremony is very complicated. If there is no one in charge of the ceremony, there will be chaos."

Xuanyuan Che looked at the two of them and said: "The two beloved ladies are very worried. The year-end ceremony is very important. There is really no room for negligence. I do have a good candidate here, just in time to talk to the two beloved ladies. explain."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Sheng paused slightly, but he had also expected this in his heart. After all, after the incident with the Yang family, the emperor had already planned it. Now it is impossible to arrange for his own people to go up.

When Zheng Yi heard this, he actually had some speculation in this regard before coming. The emperor must have already made arrangements for the new candidate for the Minister of Rites. For him, as long as he is not Wang Sheng, he can fill the post of the Minister of Rites again. Vacancies, to him, are all good things.

At this time, Zheng Yi immediately said: "The person chosen by the emperor must be capable and competent."

Wang Sheng didn't want to fight for it anymore. He was lucky that the Yang family's affairs did not involve him. He came to see the emperor and mentioned this matter with a lucky mentality. He took advantage of the situation and said: "Master Zheng said that someone who can win the favor of the emperor must be a good person. I wonder, who is this person? What family is he from?"

Xuanyuan Che said: "It's not that he comes from a prominent family, he is from the Hanlin Academy. This person's name is He Xun, but with his ability, it is enough for him to serve as the Minister of Rites."

Hanlin Academy?

Wang Sheng and Zheng Yi both knew very well that the Hanlin Academy was a place where the emperor gathered talents from all over the world, and most of the people in it came from poor families, and almost no one came from a wealthy family.

Zheng Yi said seriously: "The ability of those who can be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor is undoubtedly not one of the best."

Wang Sheng only said: "Yes."

Xuanyuan Che said: "In the near future, I will ask him to serve in the Ministry of Rites. The six departments are governed by the Prime Minister. After all, He Xun is the first to join the Ministry of Rites. The Prime Minister should give him some guidance."

Wang Sheng said respectfully: "Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Xuanyuan Che: "With the words of Wang Xiang, I feel more at ease. My two dear friends have other important matters."

Zheng Yi said: "Wei Chen came here just to report the matters concerning the Yang family to the emperor. Now that the matter is over, I will leave first."

Wang Sheng said: "Wei Chen has been ordered by the Emperor to take charge of the six ministries. Because the position of Minister of Rites is vacant, Wei Chen came here to ask for instructions from the Emperor. Now that the Emperor has made a decision, Wei Chen has nothing else to do, and Wei Chen has resigned first."

Imperial study room, outside the palace.

Zheng Yi came out first, but did not leave in a hurry, but waited for Wang Sheng to come out.

Looking at Wang Sheng who was coming from behind, Zheng Yi said with a smile: "Prime Minister Wang must have had plans to fill the vacancy in the position of Minister of Rites. It's a pity that the emperor has already made arrangements."

Wang Sheng ignored it and said coldly: "Master Zheng specially chose this time to report to the emperor about the Yang family. Is it just for reporting?"

Zheng Yi smiled sarcastically and said: "What the Prime Minister said, but no matter what, compared to the Prime Minister, I have nothing to lose. It is said that the six departments are under the control of the Prime Minister. However, from then on, this gap appeared ”

Wang Sheng snorted coldly, "I won't bother Mr. Zheng to worry about the affairs of the six ministries." After saying this, he left directly.

Zheng Yi looked back behind him and left the palace on his own, but he couldn't help thinking that the emperor asked a poor boy from the Hanlin Academy to serve as the Minister of Rites. Even if this person had outstanding abilities, he wanted to see what he could do. How capable.

In the Imperial Study Room, inside the palace, after Wang Sheng and Zheng Yi retreated, a young man came out and said, "Your Majesty!"

Xuanyuan Che looked at the people in front of him and said, "He Xun, I heard everything they said just now."

He Xun responded: "Yes, both Prime Minister Wang and Doctor Zheng thought that Wei Chen was from a wealthy family."

Xuanyuan Che: "What do you think?"

He Xun said respectfully: "Wei Chen's entry into the Hanlin Academy is the result of the Emperor's high regard. Although Wei Chen comes from a poor family, his self-confidence is not weaker than anyone else's. The Emperor relies on him, so Wei Chen should do his best."

Xuanyuan Che said: "I let you join the Ministry of Etiquette and let you handle the affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette, not just to do what the Minister of Rites should do."

He Xun: "Wei Chen understands the Emperor's wishes and will take control of the Ministry of Etiquette for the Emperor as quickly as possible."

Xuanyuan Che: "Then just go ahead and do it. Next is the year-end ceremony. When your new official takes office, there must be no mistakes in everything."

He Xun: "Yes, I will definitely not disappoint the emperor."

Xuanyuan Che: "Go back and prepare well. In three days, the transfer order for your appointment will be issued."

He Xun: "Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

For a moment, the palace was quiet. Li Mo wanted to step forward to serve the pen and ink, but was stopped by the emperor. He only stood on one side. When the emperor took out the brocade box and took out something from it, he knew what the emperor was going to do now. , so I won’t say much.
