During this period, Wei Yunyi was very relaxed.
Because he handed over all matters related to memorials to Zhao Lingying.
The latter did not disappoint him, although he looked at it very quickly.
But I only have a superficial understanding of many things.
I still need to ask for advice.
Moreover, after reading the memorials every day, Concubine Ying would report back one by one for fear of making mistakes.
Wei Yunyi was quite satisfied with this.
The best is to have this kind of vague understanding.
In addition, the memorials had to go through the cabinet before they were sent down, so there was no need to make any mistakes and there was no need to panic.
Wei Yunyi became even happier when he thought about the Prince of Yan becoming a fiefdom and planning major events in his fiefdom.
I think that by the time of settlement, I will be able to exchange for a large amount of tyrant value.
Just like that, after letting Concubine Ying get familiar with her for a few days, he simply let her go.
Sometimes, I don’t even go to the imperial study.
Except for the morning court.
Stay in the bedroom every day.
Either he was thinking about how to be a tyrant, or how to ruin the fortune of the Wei Dynasty.
As for the promise of watching it together, it was never fulfilled.
Of course, he did not forget to let Zhao Lingying sleep with him at night, ending his virginity in two lifetimes.
Under the pretext of asking for martial arts lessons from the other party.
It really proves the old saying.
A man's mouth is a lie.
Until one day, Wang Jin came to report that the imperial concubine had encountered a difficult memorial and needed advice.
Helplessly, Wei Yunyi had to temporarily end his idle life and leave the bedroom.
"My beloved, what is it that you need to ask me?"
In the imperial study.
Wei Yunyi sat in the main seat and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of words submitted by Li Fang, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and concurrently Minister of Revenue." Zhao Lingying produced a memorial. "Li Fang stated that he is old and frail, plagued by illness, and wishes to retire to his hometown to enjoy his remaining years. There are other details in the memorial as well. I understand this is of great importance and requires your Majesty's judgment."
After she finished speaking, her face looked a little ugly. Li Fang was not only one of the four deputy ministers in the cabinet.
He also served as the Minister of Revenue, a very important position.
If I resign like this, I'm afraid it will have a huge impact.
"What? Isn't Li Fang only in her fifties? Why is she resigning?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi immediately took the memorial and began to read it.
After watching for a while, he completely understood.
This guy doesn't really want to retire and return home.
Instead, he threatened to resign and asked him to station troops near Yan to monitor the King of Yan's every move, and the attitude in the memorial was extremely tough.
In fact, this was not the first time Wei Yunyi had seen a similar memorial.
He ignored it the first few times and just let Concubine Ying fight back.
But now, some people actually asked for garrison.
It was with great difficulty that Prince Yan was allowed to return to his fiefdom.
Suddenly the garrison...
What if I scare them so much that they don't dare to raise an army? Wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?
But today, for this matter.
The Deputy Minister of the Cabinet actually wants to resign to force himself...
Wei Yunyi's anger suddenly flared up, and his expression became a little serious.
But soon, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be the one who would become a tyrant.
Why should you be coerced by your subordinates?
Wouldn't it be better to just approve it directly?
Wei Yunyi remembered.
Li Fang enjoyed a high prestige in the Wei Dynasty.
Although he is not as good as Zhang Zhengming, he is also the second-in-command of the cabinet and is known for his virtue and ability.
If he agreed to the other party's resignation, it would definitely cause a shock in the government and the opposition.
And there is something more important.
Once Li Fang passes away, a position in the cabinet will be vacant.
He can just find someone to fill the position. As for who to choose, isn't it just a matter of a word from him?
For example, finding an obedient treacherous minister would not only not cause trouble, but would also reduce the growing fortune of the Wei Dynasty and gain more tyrant value, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But Wei Yunyi was troubled by who to let into the cabinet, because he had no idea at the moment.
Forget it, let’s approve Li Fang’s resignation first.
My thoughts stop here.
Wei Yunyi didn't say much, and immediately wrote a red word on the memorial: Approved!
"Your Majesty, why did you...why did you approve Li Fang's resignation?"
Zhao Lingying, who was standing next to her, was shocked when she saw it.
Once Li Fang leaves the cabinet.
It will inevitably cause an uproar in the government and the public, and unrest among the people.
"Why can't I grant this?" Wei Yunyi deliberately displayed an expression of rage and spoke directly, "Li Fang actually threatened to resign in exchange for my stationing troops in Yan. Isn't this trying to sow discord between me and the vassal kings? What would the Queen Mother think if she knew? He is ruthless, and he even relies on his seniority as a minister of two dynasties to bully others. Where in the world can you find such a minister? He is simply disloyal and unrighteous. I have not punished him, which is already a great favor from Heaven!"
"Alright, this matter has been decided. My beloved concubine, please handle the following memorials on your own!"
Then, he ignored Zhao Lingying's reaction.
Take Wang Jin away from the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty looked so scary just now."
The palace maid Cuiguo looked at Wei Yunyi's back and trembled for a moment.
He was a cabinet minister and an important official of the court, and he resigned without hesitation.
It was almost time to punish him directly.
Zhao Lingying was also stunned for a moment, but quickly said, "What do you know? This is the courage a ruler should have!"
"If ministers threaten the emperor with resignation to achieve their own goals, what authority will the emperor have?"
At the same time, she suddenly recalled a sentence from Zhang Zhengming's "Memorial on Governing the Country" yesterday.
One point is that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, the ruler of a country.
