Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 27 Song Gongwen: Never Live Up to Your Majesty's Expectations

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

At dusk, Mrs. Song was preparing dinner.

Seeing Song Gongwen returning home with a tired face after finishing his official duties, he immediately asked.

It was fine before I left in the morning, what's wrong now?
Song Gongwen, under the service of his servants, took off his coat, screened back to the left and right, and couldn't help but said: "Today, I just took office in the cabinet, and I just touched my nose."

At the moment, he told all about what happened in the cabinet today.

First of all, the master of calligraphy doesn't take himself seriously at all.

Even the required memorials and documents.

You have to get it yourself.

After finally waiting for other cabinet members to arrive, they are ready to be greeted.

But the other party also chose to ignore it directly, and no one said a few words all day.

Song Gongwen knew that he would definitely be excluded and dissatisfied when he became a cabinet scholar.

But what I didn't expect was that those people didn't even do superficial work. Regardless of other things, they at least had the status of the head of the country.

"Master, don't be angry." Mrs. Song comforted me when she heard this, "Isn't it the same when you first became the young minister of Dali Temple? Not to mention that you are now in the cabinet."

"Cabinet bachelors, all of them hold power and have high prestige. When you first enter, there will definitely be people who don't want to see you."

"When you get familiar with it in the future, it will be much better. Besides, you are a cabinet bachelor."

"But His Majesty personally promoted him, so there is no need to pay too much attention to these things."

Mrs. Song's natal family is also a scholarly family.

Some truths are natural to understand.

Tell your husband that you have just taken office and that it is normal to encounter these things.

"Ma'am, why don't I understand what you're saying?" Song Gongwen sighed, and continued: "But those people are too arrogant, they don't even let me read some important notes, and they even call it a newcomer, I should Start by sorting out the memorials and documents."

"Are these things that a bachelor should do? They completely regard the old man as a bachelor in charge of books."

Speaking of this, Song Gongwen felt a little resentful between his brows.

He took Li Fang's place.

Li Fang, on the other hand, was the number two figure in the cabinet after the chief assistant.

Fortunately, he did not inherit the influence of his predecessor, and he was directly regarded as an academician in charge.

In fact, he didn't care at first that other cabinet members chose to ignore it.

As long as I can speak, the situation will always be better in the future.

But those people didn't even let themselves read the notebooks.

If you can't get in touch with the core of the cabinet, you can only be powerless.

If this continues, he will completely become an idler, worse than Ren Shaoqing in Dali Temple!
"I can't help it, after all, your previous official voice, sir," Mrs. Song said, but she didn't continue, fearing that it would not sound good.

Song Gongwen naturally knew what Madam meant. He had been an official for many years. Except for the early years when he had some positive reputation, the next ten years were all negative.

The former colleagues in Dali Temple secretly used it as a joke from time to time.

When it comes to cabinet, of course things get worse.

If it is said that he was only a small fourth-rank official at the beginning, he still couldn't get into the eyes of those cabinet members.

Now I hang out with them every day, without saying it directly, it is already for my daughter and the status of the head of the country.

In this regard, Song Gongwen has nothing to do, it is impossible to approach those people by licking his face, right?

He is also somewhat arrogant, it is difficult to do such a thing.

"Actually, not being seen or something."

"I don't really care."

At this time, Song Gongwen looked at his wife and said, "What I'm really worried about is Your Majesty."

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Mrs. Song was a little puzzled when she heard the words. No matter what the cabinet is, how dare to target His Majesty?
"I also read some memorials today, 120% of them are against my entry into the cabinet, and [-]% are to persuade His Majesty to invite Li Fang back. Madam, you should know that officials have been promoted to seven ranks in a row. Since Wei founded the country more than [-] years ago, there have been very few of them."

"And these memorials will eventually be presented to His Majesty. It is conceivable that His Majesty will face a lot of pressure to promote me."

"I'm worried that if I can't make political achievements all the time, and the officials continue to give speeches, I will fail His Majesty's entrustment."

As he said that, Song Gongwen couldn't help but think of what Wang Jin said to himself a few days ago.

It is said that His Majesty has high hopes for him, and he will definitely be qualified for the position of second assistant.

But now that he has just taken office, he is squeezed everywhere.

Maybe nothing at first.

His Majesty is arbitrary, and can still be suppressed.

But in the long run, he has not made any political achievements.

At that time, the officials will definitely play harder, can His Majesty still hold on?

Song Gongwen felt that it was nothing more than being directly impeached and resigned, and then his official career came to an end.

But Your Majesty, he tried his best to promote himself against all opinions, but he didn't do anything. He would betray His Majesty's trust and greatly damage His Majesty's majesty.

Mrs. Song also quickly realized what the other party was worried about, and immediately said: "Then master, what should we do?"

What she cared about was not that her husband failed His Majesty, but that she was afraid of implicating the daughter in the palace because of this matter.

Even if it is the Empress of the Central Palace, whether she lives well or not depends entirely on His Majesty's attitude.

"There's nothing I can do now, if it's really close to that step."

"Even if you show your old face, you must stand firm in the cabinet."

Song Gongwen sighed and said like this.

No matter what, I must not disappoint His Majesty's expectations.

"That's the only way to go." Mrs. Song was also very helpless, and then she seemed to think of something again, and continued: "By the way, sir, you are in the cabinet today, did you see the Tai Tuo? I heard that he entered the palace today. Holy, is it also because of your business?"

"No, the Grand Tutor has not been in the cabinet all day today." Song Gongwen said casually, but was soon taken aback.

and many more!Taifu?
Taifu is the chief assistant of the cabinet.

He also has unrivaled prestige in the court.

Cabinet members, almost everyone follows the example of Taifu.

What if I can convince the Taifu to appreciate me and support me?
That means, not only can I gain a firm foothold in the cabinet, but I can also better display my ambitions!
That's right, that's it!
Song Gongwen suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

It's not that you can do things if you have the ability, and you need someone to support you.

Now, His Majesty is undoubtedly supporting him.

So the next step is to find a way to get the support of Master Tai Tuo, so that he can make great achievements and really start to do things.

"Hahaha! Thank you, madam, you are really my lucky star!" Song Gongwen looked excited, then turned and went to the study, and took out the "Great Wei Anguo Policy" that had been completed in the past few days.

Then came to the lobby, gave Mrs. Song a big hug, and ran out without even putting on her coat.

"Master, what are you doing, you don't have dinner, it's still snowing outside!"

Mrs. Song was in a daze, not knowing why her husband suddenly went crazy.

You Qi watched as it was snowing heavily outside.

After the other party hadn't put on his coat, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's just that Song Gongwen, who was too excited at the moment, didn't hear it at all, and he quickly disappeared into the heavy snow.
