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

He Zhiyong's heart started pounding when he heard this.

There is the instigator in front and the mastermind behind, this, this, this is really... too good!!

If Prince Ling were to investigate the rumors, his focus would certainly be on the instigator and the mastermind behind the rumors.

Even if he was angry, his rage was directed at the two culprits.

After all, compared with these two culprits, he was just making a casual remark, which was even more innocent and clean than the snow on the Tianshan Mountains. There was no reason to be angry with him.

After realizing this, He Zhiyong was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.

"It was really a false alarm."

He Zhiyong patted his chest hurriedly, finally feeling relieved, and looked up at Jixue and said, "Shao Guang, you are really good. You can see the mystery at a glance."

It was also fortunate that he came to Ji Mansion as soon as he received the news, otherwise he would not have been able to figure out the twists and turns involved by himself, and he would have been unable to eat or sleep well in the days that followed, living in fear.

Fortunately fortunately.

While secretly rejoicing in his heart, he exclaimed: "Now that Shao Guang has passed and you have analyzed it like this, I can feel at ease."

In the past, when he heard Liu Qing praise Jixue for her extraordinary talent and said she was his most proud disciple, he was a little dissatisfied.

You have to know that each of them was carefully selected through the imperial examination. If not extraordinary geniuses, they are at least outstanding people. How bad could they be?

Not to mention, they have been in official circles for several years.

To put it bluntly, this group of people have eaten more salt than Jixue has eaten rice!

Even so, Liu Qing still said that they were not as good as Jixue, a commoner. Apart from being polite for the sake of Pingyang Hou's face, He Zhiyong really couldn't think of any other reason.

Until today, at this moment, he realized that what Liu Xiang said was right, and he was ignorant.

Thinking of this, He Zhiyong couldn't help but admire it again.

Ji Xue smiled slightly upon hearing this, without any pride on her face, and said gently: "Uncle He, you are too kind. It's just that those who are involved are confused while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly."

"Shao Guang, you are too modest." He Zhiyong replied. After a pause, thinking of the recent changes in the court, the smile on his face faded slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Shao Guang, do you know that Fu Yutang has now become the acting prime minister?"

Jixue nodded slightly.

He knew it of course.

Not only that, he also knew that today in the court, Shi Lezheng had tried to recommend him as Jingzhao Yin, but was strongly opposed by the Censorate and Fu Yutang, which ultimately caused the emperor's displeasure, and Shi Lezheng was demoted to the seventh rank Dianbo.

Jixue couldn't help but frowned slightly. He was not interested in the affairs of the court on weekdays. The reason why he wanted to enter the officialdom when he returned to Beijing this time was just because he wanted to clear the grievances of his mentor. He didn't know much about Fu Yutang. He basically knew about Fu Yutang from his mentor and his students.

My mentor said that Fu Yutang was a person of low moral character, little talent, and no knowledge, and was a good-for-nothing fool.

The disciples of his mentor said that Fu Yutang was accustomed to flattery, fawning, and pretending to obey while actually disobeying others, and that he was able to achieve his current position by pleasing two emperors.

All the officials in the court mentioned Fu Yutang, and they all meant the same thing implicitly.

Even the former servants of the Fu family said that Fu Yutang was mentally ill, often acted crazy, behaved strangely, and often said things that people couldn't understand. He didn't seem like a normal person.

……

……

In a word, everyone who has come into contact with Fu Yutang has a bad opinion of him. The words they use may be different, but without exception they all indicate that Fu Yutang is a good-for-nothing idiot, and that he was able to sit on the position of Minister of Justice only because of the favor of the late emperor.
