Chapter 18 Planning
At the beginning of the lanterns, the heat accumulated for a day slowly dissipated, leaving only a gentle breeze, which makes people feel cool physically and mentally. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Only at this time can you feel the coolness of the autumn breeze.
Mu Qingfeng didn't feel the slightest coolness, on the contrary, he felt hot all over, and the heat and excitement emanating from the bottom of his heart made him almost unable to sit still.
"Sir, do you think there is hope for this plan?"
In the end, he was an old oilman who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, and Mu Qingfeng quickly stabilized his mood.
In the past 20 years, he has experienced being suppressed by his superiors, discouraged, transferred to foreign posts, and then turned into a military attache with the help of his father-in-law's family, until today's Privy Council.
Mu Qingfeng thinks that in his 20-year career, he has been disappointed and glamorous, but along the way, he has been very careful with every step, because he has not yet reached the position of his dream.
The doorman with a short beard stroked his beard and said: "According to the news that Mrs. Cheng Xianggong brought back from visiting the hospital today, Mrs. Cheng's limit is approaching, according to Cheng Xianggong's love for his wife, Mrs. Cheng will die, Cheng Xianggong will definitely be uninterested in political affairs, and may even linger on the sickbed, when the time comes, it will not be difficult to find him a mistake to pull him off the horse." β
Mu Qingfeng relaxed his body slightly, leaned his back on the Taishi chair, and couldn't hide a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Cheng Lin, an old horseman, you also have today." β
He and Cheng Lin were in the same year as the Jinshi, Cheng Lin was the champion of the year, he was Tanhua, over the years, Cheng Lin pressed him everywhere, so that he had no place to exert his strength in the civil official department, so he would hate to transfer to the ranks of military attachΓ©s.
Over the years, he and Cheng Lin have fought in the court.
The doorman knew the knot between him and Cheng Xianggong, and did not answer his words, but continued: "It is not difficult to pull Cheng Lin off the horse, the difficult thing is how to help you to the throne, after all, you have been sitting in the position of privy envoy for many years, and Your Majesty may have forgotten that you are a civil official." β
This is also where Mu Qingfeng finds it tricky, but no matter how tricky it is, he never thought of giving up.
The privy envoy is in charge of the military affairs, military defense, border defense, and the politics of the army, although there are officials from the civilian background, but they belong to the military attache in terms of rank, while the Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Sect is in charge of the civil affairs of the whole country, called the prime minister, and everything is unified, that is to say, in principle, the Pingzhangshi has the accusation of supervising the privy council, and even in extraordinary times, it can meddle in the affairs of the Privy Council.
Even the promotion of the dynasty is right, and it is also the first minister's promotion to the palace, and the second privy envoy.
Although it is an indisputable fact that the privy envoy is at the same level as the peace chapter in terms of grade, the privy envoy is still one level lower than the peace chapter matter.
This is also what makes Mu Qingfeng feel unwilling, why should he be a head shorter than that Cheng Lin.
The scholar in the world doesn't want to be a very popular minister, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, and can govern the country and level the world, only in the position of Pingzhangshi, can he establish his heart for heaven and earth and establish his life for the people's livelihood.
This is the lifelong pursuit of almost all readers, and Mu Qingfeng is no exception.
"You have been privy councillor for three terms, and it is time for you to move your position, and if you have recently had the opportunity to show your majesty your statecraft, it may not be impossible to do so with the beating of the side drum by a reliable man. The doorman was thinking carefully about the arrangements to be made in his heart.
Mu Qingfeng's face was gloomy.
He has been in the Privy Council for nine years, and everything in the Privy Council is under his control, even if he is transferred to Zhongshumen, the Privy Envoy who will take over will be his person, and when the time comes, there will be him on the side of the political hall, and there will be reliable people on the side of the Privy Council, and the court can be said to be in the hands of him Mu Qingfeng.
"This opportunity can't be missed, if you can't take advantage of the opportunity to bring down Cheng Lin to take the position, then the chances of this official being transferred to the Zhongshu sect will be slim. Mu Qingfeng twisted his fingers and made up his mind, "You have to consult with a few more staff members who have written letters, and be sure to arrange every detail." β
The doorman retreated, leaving Mu Qingfeng sitting in place, the flickering candlelight reflected on his face, making his face more and more deep and treacherous.
The discussion in the front yard has long since ended, but the conversation in the back yard continues.
"I heard that you punished Cai's mother in the kitchen today, and ordered Mu Jin's girl to eat the same food as yours in the kitchen?" Mrs. Wang asked Mu Yu suspiciously, obviously not understanding why Mu Yu did this.
The kitchen has not deducted Mu Jin's food for a day or two, why did Yu'er suddenly meddle in this matter today.
What happened in the morning, Mu Yu naturally knew that he couldn't hide it from Mrs. Wang.
"It's not that girl who threatened me, saying that she would bring the food to the street and let the people of Jinling City see what kind of food our family gave her, mother, I am afraid of affecting my father's official reputation, especially at this critical moment. Mu Yu had already figured out how to explain.
Madame Wang was furious when she heard this, "Who dared to give her the courage to do this?"
"My daughter doesn't dare to gamble, in case she really does this, it affects the reputation of our family, and it will be too late for us to make up for it. Mu Yu patted Mrs. Wang's chest to give her a sigh of relief.
"Mother, don't be angry, I'm also angry this morning, my ribs hurt, so I just followed her wishes, anyway, she won't be proud for long. β
Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes, remembering what Mu Yu had said to her before, and then frowned again, "Forget it, a cheap girl, it's not worth being angry with her, but Yu'er, you, mother doesn't want you to get too close to her, I don't allow her to spoil your good deeds." β
She admonished Mu Yu seriously.
Mu Yu pursed her lips in her heart, but she agreed obediently on her face, "Mother, don't worry, Yu'er is measured." β
Mrs. Wang asked about today's street, "Tell me what is new on the street today, but if you have clothes and jewelry, just buy them." β
When my daughter grows up, she can't be sloppy in dressing.
Mu Yu casually picked up the interesting things he saw on the street and said a few words, not saying a word about Mu Jin's meeting of the prince, but he mentioned the matter of meeting the six princes.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ met the six princes at the door of a teahouse and said two words. Mu Yu didn't dare to say that he had saved the six princes from under the horse's hooves.
Mrs. Wang's brows furrowed, she didn't have a good impression of the six princes who had always taken romance as their business.
"How do you know the Sixth Prince?" asked Madame Wang vigilantly.
"Well, well, it seems that I saw it from afar when I entered the palace before, and he didn't recognize me. Mu Yu explained vaguely.
Mrs. Wang was not at ease and warned Mu Yu, "You can't have anything to do with him, a prince with no roots and no foundation, and he doesn't do his job, he really has no future." β
Mother, you are wrong, he is not without a future, he is the most promising person in the future.
Mu Yu didn't want to listen to her mother's continued nagging, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "There is another funny thing, mother, do you know? That cheap girl saw the sixth prince for the first time and said that the sixth prince was sick, haha, you didn't see it, the sixth prince's face was blue." β
