Noble First Daughter-in-law

Shang Ruyi was delighted and proud of Shen Wuzheng at the same time, a deep smile appeared on his face, and seeing her like this, Ji Hong also smiled faintly, those old eyes that had accumulated over the years slowly looked into the hall——

At this time, some lower-ranking officials had begun to leave the Tai Chi Hall and returned to the various ministries to stick to their posts; others stayed in the main hall to discuss how to deal with the epidemic in the future.

But there was a trace of desolation in Ji Hong's eyes.

He smiled faintly, and said: "When the important matter is over, some old fellows here will retire if they should. This Tai Chi Hall, above the court hall, is the world of young people after all. Your cousin will definitely do a lot."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up.

Yes, Shen Wuzheng's future!
She had tried to persuade Shen Shiyan to stay away from the court before, and she had also talked about it with Shen Wuzheng at the Zhanpinghe station. Both of them expressed dissatisfaction and disappointment with the court at that time, so she always believed that Shen Wuzheng should also stay away from that dangerous, even messy court.

But the situation now is different from before.

If Yu Wenyuan ascends the throne, the government will definitely have a new look, and Shen Wuzheng is well-educated and has outstanding abilities. If he can really work in such a court, it will be a blessing to the court and the people, and it will not be worth his years of hard work!

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your support!"

Hearing this, both Ji Hong in front of her and Yu Wenye beside her were stunned for a moment, but then both of them also understood that the fastest way for Shen Wuzheng to become an official is to be supported by someone.And he has the closest relationship with Shang Ruyi. If he enters the official career through this road, it will inevitably make people think that he is relying on his in-laws. No matter how powerful he is, he will definitely cause criticism; but if he enters the officialdom through Ji Hong's support, the situation will be different.

Looking at Shang Ruyi's clear eyes, Ji Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart - before at Dayan Temple, he had admired this young lady of the Duke's Mansion, but now it seems that this young lady is quick-witted, intelligent, loyal to the king and patriotic but not rigid in etiquette, let alone stupid loyalty.

If she was a man, she would probably be no worse than those people in court clothes and holding wat boards in the court today.

However, even if she is a woman, she seems to be stronger than many people.

Thinking of this, Ji Hong smiled, looked at Yu Wenjian who had entered Daxing City without a single soldier not far away, Yu Wenye who had made countless military exploits and was famous, and Shang Ruyi in front of him, sighed: "There are sons and daughter-in-laws like this, so why should Duke Sheng worry about his great success?"

After finishing speaking, he just bowed his hands to them, then turned around and left with a sigh.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Shang Ruyi knew from his attitude that he agreed, so she bowed deeply to his back, and when she turned her head again, she saw Yu Wenye frowned slightly, looking at herself thoughtfully.

Shang Ruyi said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Wenye looked at her: "You, want him to be an official?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head: "It's not that I want him—elder brother, he won't follow my arrangement either. I just think that if he can't apply what he has learned, he will fail himself, and it will be a loss for the court and the people."

"..."

"So, if there is this possibility, I would like to help him."

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, and finally nodded: "Indeed, if a person like him does not become an official, it will indeed be a loss to the court."

Shang Ruyi also nodded with a smile.

But after laughing, she looked at Yu Wenye again, she seemed to have thought of something, her expression froze suddenly, Yu Wenye seemed to feel something, and said: "What's wrong?"

"you--"

Shang Ruyi hesitated, as if he didn't know how to speak, hesitated again and again before softly saying: "You will go—"

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a person who was about to walk by them and was about to leave the Tai Chi Hall, she hurriedly turned her head and called to stop the person: "Master Yan, please stay!"

"...?"

Yu Wenye was startled, and immediately followed her gaze to look aside, and saw that the person who was about to leave the hall was none other than Yan Shaoxuan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

This person was about the same age as Yu Wenyuan, and his stature was not tall, but he could be seen to be a strong middle-aged man, with gray temples, bright eyes, and shrewdness.As soon as he heard Shang Ruyi calling him, he stopped immediately and said politely, "Madam Yuwen, what's the matter?"

Shang Ruyi hastily walked in front of him, bowed to him and said, "Master Yan, I have a heartfelt request."

"Oh? Please speak."

"Yesterday in the Hall of Liangyi, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess promised me that if a catastrophe occurs today and the prophecy of Bo Xing is fulfilled, Zhi Lilang will be acquitted and released. Just now—everything has happened, and I ask Lord Yan to give an order to release my uncle."

Yan Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is there such a thing?"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "The matter is very important, so Ruyi naturally dare not lie. If Lord Yan doesn't believe it, you can go to His Majesty and the eldest princess to ask for proof. But my uncle—he is weak, and he must not stay in prison anymore. Please, Lord Yan, help me."

"This--"

Yan Shaoxuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shang Ruyi, forced a smile and said, "Young Madam, I will naturally not doubt it. However, the Ministry of Punishment has rules for releasing people. If there is no written order from His Majesty, at least there must be an oral order. But just now, His Majesty didn't say anything, and there was no handwritten order to issue, so let me release people, if something goes wrong—"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Yan, you can immediately ask His Majesty and the eldest princess for verification!"

Yan Shaoxuan glanced back and said, "But just now, the inner palace has been closed."

"what?"

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he became a little anxious.

At this moment, Yu Wenye walked slowly to Shang Ruyi's side, bowed his hands to Yan Shaoxuan, and then said: "Master Yan, the situation is special this time. His Majesty has already returned to the inner palace to avoid the epidemic. Where did the handbook come from? Why don't you ask Lord Yan to take responsibility and release Zhi Lilang first, and when the important matter is over, how about I ask my father to give Lord Yan a handbook?"

"...!"

Yan Shaoxuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood.

Yu Wenye was trying to win him over, and he was also selling him favors.

After all, everyone standing in the hall today knows that when the "big event is over", the real handbook will not be the child who was scared out of his wits by the plague just now, but the father of General Tiance in front of him, who can really issue the handbook in the future.

At that time, Shen Shiyan had already been released, and the order to make up was no longer the order to release Shen Shiyan.

It's my own contribution!
Moreover, he also knew in his heart that at such a critical moment, Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice kept asking for sick leave. He was obviously dissatisfied with the prime minister's monopoly on power, and even Zhi Lilang blatantly signaled the emperor to abdicate.Now that he has made his statement, if the Prime Minister really ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of Minister, and at that time——
