After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

You know, all the civil and military officials in the court were just like Cheng Yin back then, and they really thought Fu Yutang was a big idiot.

He felt that she had the favor of the late emperor but was good for nothing.

Everyone was muttering behind his back, saying that the late emperor was really getting old and confused. There were so many young talents in the world, but he didn't like any of them and only fell for this useless girl.

Later, Fu Yutang entered the Ministry of Justice and brought Yan Qi and the others into the Ministry of Justice. In less than a year, he successfully overthrew Lu Taihe, the former Minister of Justice who was on good terms with the Prince of Xiang, and completely took charge of the entire Ministry of Justice. A small number of talents in the court gradually came to their senses, reviewed everything, and finally discovered a fact -

This Fu Yutang is not a fool at all, he is clearly a scheming jackal!

From then on, all the court officials who were a little smart kept their distance from Fu Yutang, fearing that they would offend her one day and die without knowing how.

"Since you are my son, I will only give you one tip - before the palace examination, Minister Fu had already set his sights on the Ministry of Justice, and everything he did was to prepare for entering the Ministry of Justice. And I might as well tell you that he really calculated everyone's reaction, including the late emperor's!"

The ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites at that time were both Liu Qing's disciples, and like Liu Qing, they were all the late emperor's men.

The Ministry of Personnel was controlled by Qian Youcai. Although Qian Youcai was cunning and treacherous, he always behaved honestly and never overstepped the boundaries. He also had no great ambitions, at most he coveted the position of prime minister. He did whatever the late emperor said, and followed the late emperor's lead.

Those in the Ministry of Works just did their work and did not participate in the factional struggles in the court. They had an advanced awareness that it didn't matter who became the emperor, as we all had to work hard anyway.

As the Minister of War, he was naturally loyal to the Emperor and dedicated to defending his country.

Only the Minister of Justice Lu Taihe, who had been drugged by the Prince of Xiang, often flirted with the Prince of Xiang in the court, and was bent on supporting the Prince of Xiang to ascend to the throne.

The late emperor had only one brother, the Prince of Xiang. Even though he was angry at the Prince's restlessness, he would not easily take action against him because of their blood ties. Therefore, he transferred all his anger to Lu Tai and this disloyal minister.

But Lu Taihe was smooth in his work and cautious in his character. Although he was not loyal to the late emperor, he was quite capable. He managed the Ministry of Justice like an iron barrel, with everyone working together and not even a mosquito could fly in.

Even if the late emperor wanted to place someone in the Ministry of Justice as a spy to secretly monitor his every move, he couldn't find an opportunity.

At this time, Fu Yutang appeared.

"No one would take seriously a fool who is ignorant and only favored by the late emperor. What's more, Lu Taihe is a man who has both means and wisdom."

Rui Yuanguang said in a deep voice, turned his head to look at the scenery outside, and said solemnly: "Among the six ministries, the five ministries of Personnel, Military, Household, Rites, and Works belong to the late emperor. If Fu Yutang wants to make a career or quickly gain real power, he can only go to the Ministry of Justice.

As long as Lu Taihe is overthrown, Minister Fu will be a great hero in the eyes of the late emperor, and the position of Minister of Justice will naturally fall on him.

Minister Fu understood this point, so he made a joke in the palace examination. This incident also gave the late emperor an opportunity to show his abilities, and he successfully sent him to the Ministry of Justice.

In a palace examination, he not only created an opportunity for himself to enter the Ministry of Justice, but also avoided the edge of the prince, paralyzed his future opponent Lu Taihe, won the favor of the late emperor, and finally paved the way for Yan Qi and others to be promoted in the future...

And the price he paid was just a few insults.”

Rui Yuanguang retracted his gaze, turned to look at the stunned Rui Chengyin, and said seriously: "Do you still think that Minister Fu made a risky move?"
