Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 338 List
The next day, Feng Yong entered the palace early in the morning.

After finding Li Sheng, Feng Yong hurriedly said to Li Sheng: "Eunuch Li, Eunuch Li, it's not good, it's not good. There is a problem with the list of beautiful women, there is a problem!"

Seeing Feng Yong's hurried look, Li Sheng felt a little strange: "What does the lord say? The list of beautiful women was read by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was also reviewed by you. Why is there still a problem?"

"Oh, Eunuch Li, there is a person named Lu Ying on the list, that is the unmarried wife of the little prince Luo Qing, how can such a person participate in the draft?" Feng Yong said hastily.

Li Sheng suddenly realized: "My lord, this is not right. We have stipulated that all women to be married must go through drafts before they can be married. This Miss Lu family did not need to be drafted because of a marriage. Now that the young prince is gone, The lady should participate in the audition. Otherwise, the Miss Lu family will not be able to get married, wouldn't it be a waste of youth for the Miss Lu family?"

"Eunuch Li, this is wrong. The Miss Lu family has granted a marriage, which means she is not eligible for the draft. You cannot let the Miss Lu family participate in the draft just because the young prince is gone. Doesn't this mean that the emperor is asking the emperor to choose a woman who has already been married? Besides, even if the Miss Lu family is outstanding in talent and beauty, she can be considered the daughter of an old minister, but everything has to come first, right? The Miss Lu family is already married, so it won’t make sense if you ask her to go to the draft again." Feng Yong said quickly. .

Li Sheng shook his head: "My lord, this is what the Miss Lu family wanted, and she even specially..."

"This king knows, and this king knows, so he hastily reminded Eunuch Li. I hope that Eunuch Li will not lose too much because of a small gain, and offend the emperor because of a little profit. Eunuch Li's road to promotion has just begun. Why bother because A little thing, ruin it?" Feng Yong said hastily.

Li Sheng was a little puzzled: "This...how does the prince know that the emperor will convict the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this? The list has been submitted for so many days, and the emperor has not responded."

"Eunuch Li, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and he is busy with affairs. There are a lot of things to do in the harem. How can he have time to carefully read the list of beautiful women? Besides, this matter should be handled by us, not for the emperor to choose." Wrong. Maybe the emperor just didn't say it, let's see if we will change it as servants." Feng Yong hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

When Li Sheng heard this, he panicked: "Then what should we do? My lord, should we tell the emperor that there is something wrong with the list?"

"Eunuch Li, there is no need to panic. Since I can come and talk to you, I will help my father-in-law think of a countermeasure. The emperor said that the sisters of the current ministers are on another list, and then from the two batches of beautiful women, Choose some who are suitable to be female officials and make a list. I heard that Miss Lu Ying helped Prince Luo with Lu Yingge and was very good at being a female official. In this way, it is just right to be a female official. We will choose one as soon as possible, and then find these women and put them together. List them separately and give them to the emperor." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng nodded: "My lord is right, it's okay if this is not the case. The servant knows that there are some female celebrities among them, pick them out, make a list as soon as possible, and present it to the emperor."

"Eunuch Li, please hurry up. It happens that the king is going to meet the emperor, so we can submit it together. Just in time, while the emperor is not looking, we will submit the list as soon as possible. By then, the emperor will not care about the first list. Come on." Feng Yong quickly asked Li Sheng to queue up quickly.

Li Sheng clapped his hands: "That's right, what the lord said is right, the younger ones will be listed immediately, otherwise once the emperor is free and sees it, it will be bad."

After Li Sheng made the list, Feng Yong immediately went to see Wei Huaqing.

"Chen Fengyong sees the emperor."

Wei Huaqing was a little surprised when he saw Feng Yong, but still smiled and said, "It's so early?"

"I didn't want to be so early at first, but the emperor has exempted me from going to court, which is already a great kindness. If I don't work hard, I will be ashamed of the emperor's love. Besides, the post-sealing ceremony is coming soon, and the draft will also start soon. , there are some things that I still need to report to the emperor in time." Feng Yong respectfully.

Wei Huaqing smiled: "Okay, what's the matter? I thought the draft was almost over."

"Your Majesty, the court ministers and sisters' families, the minister asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to also count a list and submit it. There was also a reward from the Ministry of Internal Affairs saying that the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau were still selected. The ministers discussed with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lord Si Yi will have from now on. In this way, there will be vacancies for female officials. Moreover, there are many female officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are approaching old age, and it is time to select a group. Therefore, the minister and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are on the list of two batches of female officials. Among them, I selected some people who are good at female celebrities, and made a separate list for the emperor, and also presented it to the emperor." Feng Yong continued to be respectful.

Wei Huaqing nodded: "Submit it."

Feng Yong submitted the list, Wei Huaqing flipped through it and nodded: "This list is pretty good."

"The emperor's award is thanks to Eunuch Li of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I just thought of it last night. Eunuch Li made a list today, and I just presented it." Feng Yong said modestly.

Wei Huaqing took a closer look, and frowned: "Lu Ying? Lu Ying... I seem to remember that Lu Ying seems to have already given her a marriage, and she is still standing side by side with Luo Qing from the Wang family..."

"Your majesty has a good memory, because Lu Ying is a female celebrity. Moreover, she has already negotiated marriage and is not suitable for the draft. Therefore, it would be better for the minister to discuss with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transfer Lu Ying to the election of female officials." Feng Yong Said lightly.

Although Feng Yong was so calm, she was still very nervous. What if Wei Huaqing insisted on keeping Lu Ying because of Luo Qing?
"Boss Lu, you can take responsibility for what I say at any time. I am alone outside, and the prince is the only channel for me to know the news. However, the prince only cares about himself and does not care about my safety at all. What's wrong with me saying that?"

"Now that you can take responsibility, what are you doing now, my lord? It's you who said that the prince doesn't care about your safety, and you're the one who comes to see him now. What do you mean?"

"Oh, Boss Lu is straightforward, but Boss Lu, do you know what the prince's situation is now? You can say that I am a villain, but have you ever thought about it? Don't you have the qualifications to be a fool? If we don't help each other, if we are defeated one by one, we will only die ugly. The prince does so much, just to protect himself and his family and friends, but the prince is defeated like this, family and friends What should I do? The prince's relationship in the court is as complicated as a spider's web, does Boss Lu know what it means to move the whole body by pulling one hair?"

"It's true that the prince is in a difficult situation, but Wei Huaqing may not dare to touch the prince. Unless he wants to train the army again in the future."

"Boss Lu is too confident, isn't he? The prince is in the army, just like Mr. Xia Ge in the court. You see, Mr. Xia Ge is calling the wind and calling the rain in the court, and his disciples are all over the world. He used to despise Wei Huaqing, but now he accepts his fate. And sent Xia Qinghe to the palace."

"I don't deny that what you said is reasonable. But you should also know that if the prince wants to find someone to cooperate with, it is impossible to find you. What is your situation now? I am afraid that you are not as good as the prince? If you don't hold Wei Huaqing's Thigh, I’m afraid it’s beheaded now, right?”

"Even if I don't agree to this errand, he can't kill me. Don't forget, the first emperor owed me favors. I know everything he did. If he dared to touch me, this emperor would be insecure. .”

"You're right, and you're not right. He doesn't dare to kill, but he can be exiled or imprisoned. Man is a knife, you are fish, what else can you do?"

"Does Boss Lu know about Wei Huaqing's draft?"

"Of course I know, isn't that something you are responsible for?"

"Wei Huaqing has two purposes for the draft. First, to contain those old ministers who have returned home. Second, to carve up Xia Qinghe's power in the harem. Third, to prepare for Wanyi's appointment as empress."

"If you're talking about the first two, I still understand. How about the third one?"

"Everyone knows that there are two reasons for Wanyi not being sealed. First, Wanyi's background is not enough. Wanyi was married when Wei Huaqing was the fourth prince. Yicai has become a Fujin. Wei Huaqing is actually unwilling to let such a humble person who has no feelings for him be the queen. Second, and more importantly, Wanyi's natal family is not good enough to help Wei Huaqing, and Xia Qinghe is different. Xia Ge's old daughter has power in the government and the public. After marrying Xia Qinghe, Wei Huaqing has really secured his position. But Wanyi is a married wife after all, Xia Qinghe is a noble concubine, and Wanyi is just a concubine. , do you think it is reasonable? Besides, Wanyi has done so many things for Wei Huaqing. If she is frustrated in the harem, who can guarantee that Wanyi will not say it? Wanyi's mother's family is not good, and there are no relatives at home, You don't have many people in the Nine Clans, but Wei Huaqing can't bear this at all. Therefore, I suggest to Wei Huaqing to give Wanyi a distinguished status and make her queen. Wanyi can suppress Xia Qinghe and keep secrets with peace of mind. "

"You are right, but what is the difference between this and the draft?"

"Now the phoenix seal of the harem is on Xia Qinghe's side. Xia Qinghe is the only favorite. Elder Xia Ge will not want anyone to be a queen. Only Wanyi's name is justified, and in the eyes of Elder Xia Ge, no matter how good Wanyi is, she is better than her. Xia Qinghe's position in Wei Huaqing's heart is not considered, so Xia Ge will always feel at ease. Moreover, Wanyi is also a person with no background. No matter how many concubines Wei Huaqing accepts in the end, Wanyi can't say anything, but Xia Qinghe is different. Yes. If Xia Qinghe is not willing, then Wei Huaqing will lose all his power and only rely on Mr. Xia Ge. Wouldn’t Mr. Xia Ge be easy to be arrogant and domineering? So, in order to regain more power for himself in the future Therefore, it is inevitable for Wanyi to be crowned empress. And the draft is nothing more than a cover. Have you ever seen an emperor organize a draft without a queen? This draft can not only contain old ministers, but also pave the way for Wanyi to let Wanyi After the seal, hold the seal of the phoenix, even if Xia Qinghe is the first favorite concubine, she is also a noble concubine, and the old Xia Ge cannot become more and more arrogant, do you understand?"

"What you said makes sense, but this is just a way for you to hold your thigh. You haven't said yet, what does this have to do with the prince? You won't think about letting the prince beg you for this one thing, right? The prince doesn’t have any daughters to enter the palace.”

"Of course I know it, but when I entered the palace, I told Boss Lu that the daughter of a veteran minister who entered the palace this time, I have become one of my own. Can Boss Lu feel my sincerity?"

"What do you mean?"

"The veteran resigned and returned home. He was originally dissatisfied with Wei Huaqing. How could he let his daughter go deep into the tiger's den? Besides, knowing that this is a way to restrain him, it is a tragedy for a daughter to enter the palace. Anyone who has plans for her daughter cannot agree. So I found someone and secretly replaced it. It’s just Boss Lu, if I remember correctly, Boss Lu is also on the draft list, you..."

"I have pointed out marriage a long time ago, so I don't meet the conditions."

"Boss Lu, did you mean to give it to the young prince? But the young prince..."

"If it weren't for you, how could he..."

"Boss Lu, what you said is wrong. Those people were originally here to kill the young prince, but I didn't recruit them for the young prince. The prince knows about this matter, and many people know it. Don't think about it, what is the grade of Fengwang's mansion?" Why do you need to kill me? Besides, the little prince was killed by someone sent by Wei Huaqing, and Wei Huaqing is your enemy, why are you so vicious to me. "

"If you hadn't become his lackey and made friends with the young prince, how could he have a chance?"

"Boss Lu, if you want to kill people, why don't you have a chance? Can the little prince never go out, be sent out to perform official duties, or go to the battlefield for the rest of his life? It's easy to hide from the open gun, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. Can you say yes, the little prince will never go out?" Can you escape every time? What we have to do now is to avenge the little prince, not to fight among ourselves here."

"It's easy for you to say, even if you lose those beautiful girls, can you guarantee that you can win against Wei Huaqing?"

"Boss Lu, you know that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. The emperor has brought so many beautiful women into the palace, so you can't dislike them all? Besides, if you don't favor them, there is no impenetrable wall in the harem. You can find out after a little inquiry." One or two, isn't this a great help to us? Besides, I never ask the lord to help me with anything, I just give a little help when I need help. This matter will not hurt the lord, will it? ?”

"It's true that nothing will be involved, but you also said, in this king's situation, can you help me?"

"My lord underestimated myself. If one day I need to force Wei Huaqing to abdicate, I will still need you."

"Nonsense! The Luo family is full of loyalists! How can you do such a rebellious thing!"

"My lord, is it more important to be loyal and loyal to the whole family, or to love the people and eliminate harm for the people? Let's not talk about the little prince. Let's talk about Wei Huaqing as the emperor. Do you think he can really do it well? He is ambitious. Bo Bo, together with the Suhe clan, have done many things that are harmful to nature? Is this kind of monarch who adheres to the principle that those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me perish, still a good monarch? The old ministers have retired and returned to their hometowns one by one, and they still want to contain them, Telling them not to talk nonsense, is this a good monarch? What's wrong with me doing those things?"
