Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 18 The old man, it was decided that it was you
See each other and salute again.

Wei Yunyi was taken aback for a moment, and then helped the queen up.

"Queen, you and I are husband and wife, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

He is soft on others, but short on others.

Even if he is an emperor, he is also a queen after all, so he should be more polite.

As said, the two are actually married.

Couple
Song Youwei's heart suddenly stirred up waves.

She has studied since she was a child, and she understands that she is the queen of the middle palace even though she is expensive.

But I also understand that there is no family relationship in Tianjia, only the difference between monarch and minister.

So ever since she first entered the palace, Song Youwei knew deeply that she must treat this husband as if she were her master.

There must be no arrogance in the slightest, nor can it be like ordinary people.

But now, the word "husband and wife" made her feel something different.

More importantly, Song Youwei can hear it completely.

Wei Yunyi is not just talking casually.

"A couple?"

Song Youwei murmured to herself, remembering that when she was young, she had read those stories about talented scholars and beautiful ladies.

Have you never thought about the relationship between a husband and wife who are harmonious and affectionate, so these words touched her heartstrings.

However, she was not immersed in it, and she did not forget the purpose of speaking, and immediately said: "It is about the father of the concubine, and the father wants to resign."

Resign?

I just dealt with one today, why come again?

Isn't my father-in-law only in his 40s?Getting old?

Wei Yunyi was speechless, but he didn't get angry, he just said: "Queen, why?"

Song Youwei thought for a while, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, my father has been an official for many years, and he has already been exhausted physically and mentally. I hope that His Majesty will consider the concubine's request and grant it!"

As she said that, she knelt down again, her words also carried an extremely earnest meaning.

Song Youwei knew that her father must be disheartened about his official career.

Otherwise, he would not be in his prime and want to resign.

Beside, Wei Yunyi did not speak.

In his memory, he didn't have a deep impression of his father-in-law, Song Gongwen.

All I know is that this person was outstandingly talented when he was young. He was once a top three Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy.

But it seems that he was not liked by his colleagues, so he was later transferred to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he did this for more than ten years.

In the original book, the evaluation of Song Gongwen is.

Although he is a clean official, he is smooth and has mediocre abilities.

Even some trivial cases are difficult to deal with, it takes a lot of time, and sometimes the judgment is wrong.

Therefore, in the officialdom, not only was he criticized by his colleagues, but even by the people in the capital, there were a lot of scolding.

Having been an official for decades, he has not made any major mistakes, but he has not made any great achievements.

In short, he is a mediocre minister with no merits.

Wei Yunyi felt the same way.

A person like the other party is indeed not suitable to be an official.

It's better to agree to the Queen's request, let the other party resign, and enjoy the happiness at home.

After a little thought, Wei Yunyi was ready to agree.

and many more!

Useless mediocrity.
Suddenly, Wei Yunyi thought of something.

Didn't I happen to be struggling with the candidate to replace Li Fang?

What if this position is directly handed over to the father-in-law and asked him to take over as the second assistant?
It should be noted that the existence of the cabinet is extremely important, assisting the emperor in handling various affairs of the dynasty.

Therefore, those who are selected into it must have sufficient ability, otherwise, it will bring hidden dangers to the country and the court.

Just like Zhang Zhengming, he can manage everything in an orderly manner.

Such a chief assistant is definitely what all Mingjun dream of.

But the problem is.

Wei Yunyi is going to be a faint king.

This person is too capable, with him around, it will be very difficult to ruin luck.

And what about Song Gongwen?Although he is not a traitor, he can't even do a good job as a Dali Temple Shaoqing. This is no longer what ordinary mediocre officials can describe.

Letting him take over as the second assistant, enter the cabinet, and participate in decision-making can just offset Zhang Zhengming's ability.

Then I will support the other party from time to time or something.

Didn't this luck just drop down?

more importantly.

The old father-in-law was a Jinshi in his early years, and he had stayed in the Imperial Academy. He fully meets this condition and can stop the mouths of those officials.

What's wrong with low official position?What is it called?
I advise the Lord of Heaven to cheer up and send down talents of all kinds!

Yes, just do it!

I am indeed a genius for being a fool.

Father-in-law, the candidate for the second assistant is decided to be you!

At this point in his thoughts, Wei Yunyi looked at the queen, and said with a smile: "Song Qing is your father, how can you allow him to resign easily? Therefore, I will not agree."

"But father, he is really not suitable for the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple." Song Youwei was a little anxious.

"Since it doesn't fit, then change it." Wei Yunyi smiled and continued.

"It just so happened that Li Fang resigned today. I have no suitable candidates."

"So, let your father take over his position!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Song Youwei was shocked.

Even Wang Jin and the others behind him also stared wide-eyed.

Li Fang, the second assistant, is a scholar of the cabinet and a minister of the household department. He is a proper first-rank minister.

Song Gongwen is only the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, a mere fourth-rank official. Even if he has the status of the head of the country, it is just a false name.

But Wei Yunyi's words directly made the opponent jump seven levels in a row
"Your Majesty, this...isn't it right?"

Song Youwei came back to her senses, and quickly said: "The position of a cabinet scholar is of great importance. I am afraid that the concubine's father will not be able to do it. He has failed His Majesty's entrustment. Please take it back."

Second assistant, there are only four people in the entire cabinet, and it is impossible for ordinary officials to achieve this position without great achievements.

No matter how strong the ability is, it will take decades of hard work to have such a small chance.

Looking at the Wei Dynasty since its founding for more than 120 years, there are very few.

Besides, Song Youwei is very aware of her father's abilities.

Let him enter the cabinet and become the second assistant.

What a disaster.
Once something goes wrong, it is not a trivial matter, and it will endanger the court.

Especially those officials who like to criticize will definitely turn all eyes on their father and magnify their mistakes infinitely.

So Song Youwei felt that this position was unacceptable anyway, it was really too dangerous.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yunyi shook his head and said, "That's your father, in other words, he's the head of the state, but he just entered the cabinet, why can't he be competent?"

"Okay, I've made up my mind, the queen doesn't need to say any more."

"This this."

"Concubine, thank Your Majesty Long En on behalf of father."

Song Youwei originally wanted to decline, but after seeing Wei Yunyi's serious face, she had no choice but to agree.

Now she only hoped that after her father took office as a cabinet scholar, he would not seek meritorious service, but wish for nothing more than that.

"Okay, since the queen also supports it, then I will go and make an order now."

Wei Yunyi nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, I feel that this matter should be arranged as soon as possible.

So after finishing speaking, he took Wang Jin and others to the imperial study.

As for Queen Song Youwei, she looked at his back with a helpless expression and her eyes were full of confusion.

Didn't he resign for his father?Why did you resign as a cabinet scholar?
