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

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Fu Yutang raised his eyes and looked over.

As their eyes met, Fu Yutang winked at him with a serious look on his face.

——"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? Jixue got in through the backdoor! He's not a good person at all! You're just a fool and you treat him like a treasure."

Rui Chengyin: “…”

The turtle laughed at the tortoise, how dare you say that about him, you are not a good person either!

After muttering in his heart, Rui Chengyin was the first to look away, staring at Shi Lezheng, pursed his lips, and his impression of Jixue plummeted.

I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't expect he was the same kind of guy as Fu Yutang!

snort!

It's really shameful!

In the hall, Master Lezheng was still recommending, "That young man Jixue is a talented person. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was young. After he came of age, he was praised by the people of Beijing as the best young master in the capital. He is full of knowledge, amazing talent, and has everything in mind and means. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second Master Shao... I think that such a talent should not be missed by the court. It is most appropriate for him to serve as Jingzhao Yin."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Feng Xingjun expectantly.

However, the next second——

"no!"

"I do not agree."

Two opposing voices sounded simultaneously, echoing over the hall.

Fu Yutang looked over in the direction of the sound.

The people who spoke were Rui Chengyin and Ji Wenkang, Jixue's father, Marquis Pingyang.

When they saw Ji Wenkang, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned, not understanding why he would stand up to oppose.

If Jixue could become Jingzhao Yin, wouldn't he be proud of it?

Or is it that playing hard to get is becoming popular now?

Before, when Fu Yutang was going to serve as the acting prime minister, Fu Ping'an also jumped out to oppose it, which further strengthened the emperor's determination to let Fu Yutang take over as acting prime minister. Now, does Ji Wenkang also want to do the same?

For a moment, everyone was speculating.

Feng Xingjun was very surprised to see Ji Wenkang jump out to oppose.

You know, Jixue had just come to the palace to pay him a visit two days ago, and her words and actions showed that she wanted to serve the country. While he was delighted, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Before he formally studied with the tutor, Jixue had always been his playmate, so the two had a good relationship, and he always regarded Jixue as his future study partner.

In fact, it was not just him, even Jixue herself thought so. She restrained herself in everything according to the requirements of a study partner and was ready to assist him.

However, he never expected that at the critical moment, Fu Yutang would appear out of nowhere and snatch the position of study companion.

Alas, if the emperor had not suddenly changed his mind and let Jixue be his study partner, then Jixue would have become his right-hand man today, right?

Although he was happy and emotional, Feng Xingjun was very rational.

If Jixue really wanted to serve, she should have stepped forward when he first ascended the throne and had no one under his command, instead of waiting until now.

If you don't help someone when he's in trouble, now if you want to add icing on the cake, it depends on whether he is willing to do so.

After a moment's silence, Feng Xingjun did not reply to Jixue immediately. He only said, "Shaoguang, it is great that you have the heart to serve the country. I am particularly touched. However, there are not many vacancies in the court now. If I assign you a smaller position, I am afraid it will waste your talent. If I assign you a higher position, the civil and military officials in the court will definitely have opinions. I need to consider it for a few days before giving you an answer."

Ji Xue showed no disappointment when she heard this. She said "Thank you, Your Majesty" and recalled some interesting things from their childhood before leaving.

Before today, Feng Xingjun always thought that Pingyang Hou knew and supported Jixue's desire to serve as an official in the court, but from now on, it seems that Pingyang Hou is not aware of it and even holds an opposing attitude.
