Chapter 91 Favors Still Need to Be Done
Although he walked away, the last look he left behind, which seemed to want to say something but was hesitant, made Nan Yan a little dazed.
But, that's how it is.
Isn't what she is doing now just the job of stamping the seal?
Before, when she heard Zhu Feng say that he wanted to appoint her as a female official of the Imperial Palace, she actually felt a little excited. After all, in this world, not every woman could work in the palace, and work on matters related to state affairs.
But in the end, she was no better than a palace maid who sprinkled water and swept the floor.
She put the things away and sighed again.
However, thinking of what Ye Zheng had just said, she became a little restless again. After all, her other identity was a servant beside the emperor. After thinking about it, she closed the door and walked towards the main hall of Wuying Palace.
Today was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so Zhu Feng did not attend court. He was only handling some state affairs in the Wuying Hall. However, these memorials had already made him furious, and in a fit of rage, he threw all the memorials to the ground.
Nan Yan just walked to the door and was shocked to see the mess on the ground.
At this moment, a pair of soap boots came into her sight, and a somewhat pale, slender hand reached out and slowly picked up the memorials.
It's He Yi.
Heyi picked up the memorials, raised his head and smiled gently at Nanyan who was standing outside the door.
At this moment, he was no longer dressed as a hermit, but was wearing official uniform. After Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he returned to secular life and served as the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat.
Nan Yan still vaguely remembered the first time she saw him on the night of chaos in the imperial city. He was dressed in a Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves, looking as graceful as an immortal. But now, with the official uniform on, his immortal aura faded a little, and he became more restrained.
Although He Yi saw her, he did not say anything. Instead, he sorted out the memorials in his hand, then slowly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
When Nan Yan heard him speak, she was not in a hurry to go in.
Inside the Wuying Palace, Zhu Feng sat at the table, his face filled with anger. "I never thought these people would be so greedy. They've turned a special examination into a promotion for their own people, using the imperial positions as favors!"
"Your Majesty," He Yi slowly placed the memorials back on the table, "We still have to do our part in repaying the debt."
Zhu Feng frowned and looked up at him.
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you came from Peking to Nanjing. Your foundation here is not stable."
“…”
"Isn't that what happened with the previous ascension to the throne?"
“…”
"Your Majesty still needs these people, so for now - please let them go."
Zhu Feng's teeth chattered. "Do you want me to watch them secretly transfer official positions in the court?!"
"Your Majesty," He Yi said calmly, "Whether these people are truly incompetent or not is still unknown. Your Majesty can first place them in some unimportant government offices to train them for two years. If they truly possess real talent and knowledge, it won't be too late to promote them. As for the others, you might as well do them a favor."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Do me a favor."
“…”
"He Yi, you are the only one who dares to speak to me like this."
He Yi said calmly, "Because Your Majesty knows that He Yi's words and actions are all for Your Majesty's sake."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time before he finally let out a long sigh.
Nan Yan carefully took a look inside and saw Zhu Feng sitting at the table behind the bead curtain. He still had an angry look on his face, and even a vein on his forehead was bulging.
