Chapter 20: Old Ministers Are Rare

It turned out that Ye Ziqing was grounded, and his father Ye Heqin felt threatened, and his heart was uneasy, in order to consolidate his official position, and in order to get his daughter out of trouble as soon as possible, he united with familiar officials to play a concert, accusing the queen of having no heir, incompetently in the middle palace, and should be abolished and newly established.

Ye Ziqing, as Zhaoyi, is still a long distance away from the back position, so naturally he will not get involved in the battle for the back position. This move was aimed at shaking the queen and causing a fight between the four concubines and the queen, so that his daughter, who was the head of the concubine, would benefit and succeed as a concubine.

However, today, the Holy Bear is strictly abandoning the government, and all the subordinates of the Song Shu are approved by the prime minister and other ministers. Yes, before the meaning was transmitted, he was stopped by Fu Xiji.

Wang Ruiyao is the queen appointed by the first emperor, with both talent and good looks, and dignified morality, how can she be easily abolished? Do you want a few demons who are not in the climate and cholera kings to ascend to the phoenix throne and cause chaos to the dynasty?

As an old minister, Fu Xiji couldn't see such a thing happening.

Fu Xi succeeded as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he knew the art of fighting power in the palace well, and immediately saw through the intentions of Ye Heqin and others, and hurriedly came to Wang Kangrui's mansion to ventilate and discuss countermeasures.

Fu Xiji also felt that the queen was embarrassed, and said slowly: "Lord Wang, no matter how difficult it is, you have to let the queen think of a way, the so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is the greatest, and it is not a way to have no heirs." After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, the other concubines in the palace do not have princes, only the two princesses Zhou Jieyu and Qiao Meiren, one is two years old and the other is still in infancy, so they are not to be afraid. ”

The emperor's favor is something that floats like a cloud, and perhaps as soon as the east wind blows, it will be dispersed and cannot last. But the heir is a hard rock, and the women in the palace can only be regarded as truly rooted in the harem if they have children under their knees, and they are difficult to shake.

Wang Kangrui sighed again, and said in his heart: "Your Majesty's favorite is all foxes, prodigal hooves, my daughter is everyone's best girl, and she feels rude to even speak loudly, how can she be so filthy." This kind of favor, she will not fight for it for the rest of her life. Stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, I will remind the queen of the matter of the heir, and let her think of it as soon as possible." ”

The matter of the heir is the destiny of heaven, and it cannot be forced, not that it can be had. Fu Xi followed the "grace", hammered the back of the waist, and said no more. has been busy with government affairs for days, and the old man's body is a little unbearable.

Seeing this, Wang Kangrui felt sour in his heart, and comforted: "Prime Minister, you are old, take it easy, let go of the things that are not in a hurry, and leave some for Your Majesty, although we have been entrusted by the emperor to assist Your Majesty, but there will be a day when you let go, do what you can." ”

Fu Xiji was just about to nod in agreement, but before he could speak, he coughed again, which shook his chest painfully.

Wang Kangrui hurriedly stepped forward to pat the back of the toiling old prime minister to relieve him.

After a long time, Fu Xiji breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he laughed at himself: "Half of my foot is in the ground, I can't withstand it for a few days, not a few days." "Take a big breath.

Wang Kangrui felt the same way, but he couldn't say the right words of comfort, holding a cup of warm tea and offering it, but seeing that the old prime minister was supposed to be at an age, but he was running around with a white beard and white hair for the affairs of the harem, and his heart ached, and he secretly scolded Xiong Yan for being mediocre and worthless for Fu Xiji.

After a while, Fu Xiji said, "Okay, it's much better." ”

Wang Kangrui "hey" and "hey" twice.

Fu Xiji stretched out his wrinkled hands, wiped his face, lifted his spirits, and said: "Lord Wang, since Ye Heqin has something to do, we can't ignore it, we have to think about it, pick this rat out of the court, so as not to make waves in the future." ”

Wang Kangrui said: "What you always say is true, but it is up to the Prime Minister to decide." ”

Fu Xiji smiled: "You will save trouble, let the old man think about it." He groaned slightly, patted his hands lightly, and said, "Yes." Let's do it. took a sip of tea, and then said: "In the palace, it is the queen who is favored, and it is Ye Zhaoyi who is punished, no matter in the future, at least for the moment, His Majesty's heart is on our side, although Ye Heqin's plan is good, but this time it will definitely not work, we don't have to be too anxious." ”

Wang Kangrui nodded.

Fu Xi continued: "Ye Heqin is a treacherous person, and this intention is to provoke trouble, and it is even more obvious that his mind is not right, and he is misbehaving. Ye Zhaoyi was grounded for a month, and now it has only been ten days, and he can't hold his breath to stand up for his daughter, it can be seen that he has an impatient temperament, such a person is okay to be clever, and he is destined to not go far in the court. ”

Wang Kangrui said: "Just look at the people he has befriended, they are all sour and rotten literati, they only know how to chew words, pick bones in eggs, have small visions and minds, and it's okay to hug and huddle for warmth, but they can't become a climate." ”

Fu Xiji smiled: "If he is a shrewd and capable person, won't it be difficult for us to do it?" ”

Wang Kangrui also smiled.

Fu Xiji continued: "A person like Ye Heqin who hates to exchange his daughter for an official position must have done a lot of things behind his back, Lord Wang, we just need to find out these things, and when the evidence is conclusive, there are two folds, such small things don't need to be enlightened, and I can release him from the capital with a hook of my pen." As he spoke, he patted the back of Wang Kangrui's hand and said, "I'm old, my legs and feet are not fast, I'll give you the way, Lord Wang, you have a lot of friends, you have a wide road, do it quickly and slowly, weigh it yourself." ”
