The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 254 Disputes
The capital is snowing again, the snow is cold and the wind is cold.

In the early court of this day, King Jin proposed that Liu Wei had returned to Beijing for several days. He performed outstandingly some time ago and should be promoted.

Zhao Kuangyin also intended to reward Liu Wei, so he looked at the ministers and said, "How should we arrange Liu Wei?"

Many ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

People like Lu Duoxun and Pan Mei who have enemies with Liu Wei hope that Liu Wei will be promoted, so they will not stand up to provide advice to Zhao Kuangyin.

But other ministers in the DPRK are not easy to speak.

With Liu Wei's effectiveness and ability, what position should I give him? If the offer is high, the refugees will be jealous. If the offer is low, they are somewhat afraid of being hated by Liu Wei, so they had better not open their mouths.

King Jin saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "I happen to be short of a political advisor, so let Liu Wei do it."

As soon as King Jin's words came out, the courtiers were stunned for a moment, and then voices of opposition came out.

"Shenzhizhengshi is the deputy prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He has always been held by a person of high morals and prestige. Liu Concubine is too young." Lu Duoxun was the first to stand up. He has been an official in the court since the founding of the Song Dynasty. More than ten years have not made it to political affairs, how can Liu Weihe be able to press ahead of him?
"That's right, although Concubine Liu is talented, it's not suitable for him to be a political advisor. If Concubine Liu can continue to hone his skills for another ten years, maybe it's appropriate to let him be a political advisor. Now, why not let him enter the Imperial Academy as a university scholar?" good."

Pan Mei also quickly stood up to object, and what he said made sense. Since Liu Wei is talented, wouldn't it be appropriate to go to the Imperial Academy?
It's just that after Pan Mei said this, many officials looked at Pan Mei with strange eyes. When Pan Mei went to the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Wei blocked the knife for Pan Mei. It stands to reason how busy Pan Mei should be Liu Wei is the one, but during this time, Pan Mei has never spoken for Liu Wei?
This made them feel that Pan Mei was an ungrateful person.

Pan Mei didn't notice the gazes of other ministers, he was just wondering if his words could be compared to Song Zhao Kuangyin.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was a little hesitant. It stands to reason that Liu Wei's qualifications are indeed not enough to be a political adviser, but Liu Wei has the ability. If he is not allowed to be a political adviser, what kind of position should he be given?

"Zeping, you are my prime minister, what do you think?"

Zhao Pu did not expect that the King of Jin would take up such an official position as a political advisor for Liu Wei. In two years, he suddenly became a political adviser, no matter who he was, he felt unbalanced.

However, although Zhao Pu was unbalanced, he was still able to distinguish the situation.

"Liu's son-in-law's talent is enough to be worthy of the position of being a political advisor. Throughout the ages, a sage king should be able to know people and do his job well, instead of relying on the so-called qualifications and age to arrange positions for him. Therefore, I agree with the Jin Dynasty. Pleased by the king."

As the prime minister, Zhao Pu naturally had to think about the Great Song Dynasty. What's more, after Liu Wei became the prefect, he happened to be able to get in touch with him a lot. If he could develop with him, it would be very beneficial to him.

Now that Zhao Pu has involved the matter to the point of being a sage king, Zhao Kuangyin will no longer object. If he objects, it means that he is not enlightened enough, and those ministers in the court dare not object anymore. Their objection means that their emperor is not holy. ?

This isn't looking for death.

Lu Duoxun gritted his teeth in hatred, thinking that Zhao Pu is really a cunning and cunning man, to say things from here, hateful, hateful!
Because of Zhao Pu's words, no one in the court objected, Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Preach the decree, Liu Weigong is extremely talented, he is a pillar of the Song Dynasty, and he was promoted to be a political advisor."
-
It was before noon when the eunuch came to Princess Ruyi's mansion to pass the decree, and the snow was thickening at this time.

Princess Ruyi was very excited when she heard that Liu Wei had been promoted to the position of Chanzhizheng. Although in her opinion, Shenzhizheng had to be three points shorter when he saw the princess and consort, but Shenzhizheng was the deputy prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Those who can participate in major national affairs, Liu Wei is now a political adviser, which means that he can be valued more by people and the country in the future.

Since consummating the house with Liu Wei, Princess Ruyi has devoted all her heart and soul to Liu Wei. She is happy when Liu Wei is happy, and she is not happy if Liu Wei is not happy. It seems that women only do this to a man who wants her for the first time. okay?
But when Princess Ruyi was excited, Liu Wei was a little puzzled. He was a very rational person, so he was somewhat skeptical about such a sudden promotion.

So he asked: "Is it the Holy One who wants to promote this official?"

"It was proposed by the King of Jin and approved by the Prime Minister of the current court, Master Liu was promoted."

After hearing this, Liu Wei let out an oh, and then quickly ordered someone to reward the eunuch. The eunuch got the reward, and went back to the palace happily.

Since Zhuge Pi came back with Liu Wei, he has no position, and now he is happy to see Liu Wei has become a political advisor.

"My lord, now that you are a political adviser, you will go to the early court in the future, and you will discuss the government with several other prime ministers."

Liu Wei nodded: "That's true, but the few prime ministers in the court, except for Zhao Pu, I know a little bit about the others, so please trouble me to find a way to find out."

Zhuge Pi responded again and again, and at this time, Liu Wei ordered again: "Notify Liu Yi, let him load a car with the winery's good wine, and follow me to the Jin Palace, and then, send a letter to Mr. Zhao Chengxu, Let’s just say that the sky will be more snowy in the evening, and there is nothing to drink, and the place is at Qin’s Restaurant.”

Zhuge Pi had no doubts about Liu Wei's request. In his opinion, since King Jin and Zhao Pu helped Liu Wei, it was appropriate for Liu Wei to thank them.

After Liu Yi packed a carload of wine, he followed Liu Wei to Jinwang Mansion. When he went, Jinwang Mansion was having dinner.

As soon as Liu Wei entered the mansion, the King of Jin smiled and said, "Congratulations Liu Concubine is now a political counselor, and you will have to devote yourself to my Great Song Dynasty in the future."

These words sounded strange, but King Jin said that there was nothing wrong with it. Although King Jin was not the emperor at this time, but he wanted the people of the world to die for the Song Dynasty, but it was still justifiable.

Liu Wei promised again and again, and then said with a smile: "It's thanks to the blessing of the prince that I can become a political advisor. I, Liu Wei, have nothing else but a lot of wine. Please don't mind the prince."

A carload of wine is not a small amount, and if converted into money, it is worth hundreds of guan, but it is not worth mentioning to the King of Jin. Therefore, Liu Wei sent a carload of wine, and no one would think that they were offering bribes or embezzlement. , so King Jin accepted it with a smile.

"The son-in-law is here at this time, hasn't he eaten yet?"

"It's just to eat at the prince's place."

"Okay, no problem, today the king asked Lord Cheshire to cook a few dishes for you."

Hearing King Jin's words, Liu Wei was taken aback for a moment. How could Princess Chai be the cook? Is there no cook in the Prince's Mansion?But Liu Wei didn't think much about it, but Chai Feng, who has been shy since seeing Liu Wei, is quite different from the heroic figure before.

Liu Wei ate lunch at the Prince Jin's mansion like this, and after praising Princess Cheshire's talent, he got up to leave.

But as soon as Liu Wei left, Jin Wang looked at Chai Feng with a smile: "It seems that Liu Wei is very satisfied with your cooking skills, and your father will help you with your affairs."

When Jin Wang said this, Chai Feng became even more shy: "Father will make fun of his daughter, but... it's just that Liu Wei is so good with Sister Ruyi, will he accept his daughter? And what about Sister Ruyi?"

"It's okay, there's no need to rush this matter, just wait until the father finds an opportunity to test it out in the future."

Lord Cheshire nodded repeatedly, but after finishing the nodding, she felt that she was too open and shy, so she blushed and ran to her boudoir holding her hands.

After Princess Chai left, a slight smile appeared on the corner of King Jin's mouth. He also found out that Chai Feng had love for Liu Wei after Su Giankan's hint. After admitting it, King Jin felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to win over Liu Wei.

Although Liu Wei is a son-in-law now, Princess Ruyi is the most downcast among the princesses. If Chai Feng can marry Liu Wei, it will not only enhance Liu Wei's status, but also for him, King Jin, to control Liu Wei. taste opportunity.

It's just that this matter is just like what he said just now, there is no rush.

Let alone Liu Weiken's refusal to agree, it is difficult for him to explain to Princess Ruyi, but this is an opportunity after all.

When he left Prince Jin's mansion, the snow had already turned into goose feathers, but he didn't care about it, he just thought that today's Princess Che is so strange, she is usually very unruly and willful, why is she cowardly today? ?
Just when Liu Wei was thinking this way, the carriage suddenly stopped in the middle of the street, and Liu Wei frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"Master, Mr. Zhao is here."

As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, Zhao Chengxu had already lifted the curtain of the car from the outside: "I said Brother Liu, you can drink if you want to drink, why do you have to say that it will be snowy late, can you have a drink? If you want to drink, just now, Do you want to go to Qin's restaurant?"

Having said that, Zhao Chengxu added: "Cao Jue and the others are all waiting in the restaurant!"

Seeing Zhao Chengxu like this, Liu Wei smiled bitterly: "Go, of course, whoever doesn't go is the grandson."

In fact, the reason why Liu Wei wanted to invite Zhao Chengxu to drink was to let Zhao Pu know that he was grateful to Zhao Pu for supporting him as a political adviser in the court. He believed that Zhao Pu was a smart person. Then everything will be understood.

But now that Zhao Chengxu stopped him on the road first, he didn't have to wait until dusk, and they were drinking and making a scene, so Zhao Pu would understand what was going on.
