Seeing the other party, he bowed deeply again.
Wei Yunyi was stunned, then helped the queen up.
"Empress, you and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
If you take something from someone else, you will be soft-hearted; if you eat something from someone else, you will be grateful.
Even though he was the emperor, she was still the queen after all, so he had to be polite.
As they said, the two are actually already husband and wife.
couple...
Song Youwei's heart suddenly began to stir.
She has been studying since she was young and understands that although she is now the Empress of the Central Palace.
But I also understand that there is no such thing as family affection in the heavenly family, only the distinction between the ruler and his subjects.
Therefore, since she entered the palace, Song Youwei knew deeply that she must treat her husband like her master.
There must not be any overstepping of boundaries, nor can we act like ordinary people.
But now, the word "husband and wife" made her feel something different.
More importantly, Song Youwei could hear it clearly.
Wei Yunyi was not just talking casually.
"A couple?"
Song Youwei muttered to herself, recalling the stories of talented men and beautiful women she had read when she was young.
She had always thought about a harmonious and loving relationship between husband and wife, so these words touched her heart.
However, she did not dwell on it, nor did she forget the purpose of speaking. She immediately said, "It's about my father. He wants to resign from his position."
Resign?
I just dealt with one today, why is there another one?
Isn't my father-in-law only in his forties? Is he old and frail?
Wei Yunyi was speechless, but not angry either. He just asked, "Queen, why is this happening?"
Song Youwei thought for a moment and then spoke frankly, "Your Majesty, my father has been an official for many years and has been exhausted. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request for your sake!"
As she spoke, she knelt down again, her words filled with great sincerity.
Song Youwei knew that her father must have become disillusioned with his career.
Otherwise, he wouldn't want to resign in his prime.
Beside him, Wei Yunyi didn't say anything.
As far as he could remember, he did not have a deep impression of his father-in-law Song Gongwen.
All we know is that this person was extremely talented when he was young, was a top-three Jinshi, and entered the Hanlin Academy.
But he did not seem to be liked by his colleagues, and was later transferred to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, where he worked for more than ten years.
However, in the original work, the evaluation of Song Gongwen is.
Although he is an honest official, he is a smooth person and his abilities are mediocre.
Even some trivial cases are beyond our ability to handle, and it takes a lot of time, and sometimes the judgment is wrong.
Therefore, in the officialdom, he was not only criticized by his colleagues, but also cursed by the people of the capital.
He has been an official for decades and has never made any major mistakes, but he has not made any major achievements either.
In short, he is a mediocre official with no special abilities.
Wei Yunyi felt the same way.
People like the other party are indeed not suitable to be officials.
It would be better to approve the Queen's request, let her resign and enjoy herself at home.
After a little thought, Wei Yunyi was ready to agree.
etc!
A useless minister...
Suddenly, Wei Yunyi thought of something.
Wasn't I just struggling to figure out who would replace Li Fang?
What if this position is given directly to my father-in-law, and he takes 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 must have sufficient abilities, otherwise, they will bring hidden dangers to the country and the court.
For example, Zhang Zhengming can manage everything in an orderly manner.
Such a prime minister is definitely the dream of all wise rulers.
But that's the problem.
Wei Yunyi is going to be a tyrant.
This person is too capable. With him around, it's difficult to ruin your luck.
And what about Song Gongwen? Although he was not a traitor, he couldn't even do the job of a Junior Official in the Dali Temple. This was no longer something that could be described as an ordinary mediocre official.
Letting him take over as the second assistant, enter the cabinet and participate in decision-making would just offset Zhang Zhengming's ability.
Then I would support the other party from time to time.
Wouldn’t this luck just plummet?
More importantly.
My father-in-law was a Jinshi in his early years and had worked in the Hanlin Academy. He fully met the requirements and could shut up those censors.
So what if he has a low official position? What do you call this?
I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents in all kinds of ways!
Yes, that’s it!
I am indeed a genius at being a tyrant.
Father-in-law, the candidate for the second assistant is decided to be you!
Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi looked at the Queen and said with a smile: "Song Qing is your father. How can you allow him to resign so easily? Therefore, I will not agree."
"But father is really not suitable for the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Song Youwei was a little anxious.
"Since it's not suitable, let's change it." Wei Yunyi smiled and continued.
"It just so happens that Deputy Minister Li Fang resigned today, and I'm struggling to find a suitable replacement."
"So, your father will take over his position!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Song Youwei was shocked.
Even Wang Jin and others behind him widened their eyes.
The Second Assistant Li Fang was a cabinet minister and the Minister of Revenue, a true first-rank official.
Song Gongwen was only the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, a mere fourth-rank official. Even though he had the status of a father-in-law of the emperor, it was just an empty title.
But Wei Yunyi's words made the opponent jump seven levels...
"Your Majesty, this...this is inappropriate, right?"
Song Youwei came back to her senses and said quickly, "The position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is of great importance. I am afraid that my father is not up to the task and would fail Your Majesty's trust. Please revoke your decision."
