"Master Pu, are you willing to join the cabinet?" Fu Yuanqing asked.

After hearing this, Pu Ying stood up, walked around twice with her hands behind her back, and said with a frown, "Frankly, no one in the world wants to be an official in the cabinet, and no one in the cabinet wants to be the chief assistant. It's just... Lanzhi, why do you ask this?"

"Today, Mr. Yu Ge drafted, and Mr. Heng Ge and Master Shida jointly signed more than 60 officials from the Central Committee of the court. Because of the queen mother's birthday at the end of the year, please add the emblem to the queen mother." Fu Yuanqing said.

"I still remember that in the first month, Elder Ge asked you when you would return to power. In the end, he was lucky..." Pu Ying laughed: "He was blatantly shouting at His Majesty. Elder Ge finally lost his composure and has come to this point .”

"Yuge is 65 years old and Hengge is 62 years old. According to Daduan's law, it's time to become an official. In the past 13 years, the cabinet has only three cabinet ministers, and two of them are from the family. After your majesty takes back the seal Naturally, the cabinet needs to be serious. It is reasonable for the elders to be urgent." Fu Yuanqing said, "And I have been inviting Mr. Pu to join the cabinet for some time, and I never planned to talk to you at this time. It's just... today As soon as this incident happened... It can be seen that the situation in the court is more distinct than imagined, so I made up my mind to ask my lord to come over and explain."

"You wanted me to join the cabinet a long time ago?" Pu Ying was startled, "Lanzhi, I didn't let you have an easy journey in the court."

"It has nothing to do with how you treat me."

"This matter is very important, have you ever talked with Brother Yu in private?" Pu Ying asked.

"He..." Fu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, "I'll tell you the truth, after the incident of Hou Xinghai, Mr. Xiaoge came to Tingtao House and brought me two altars of peaches and plums. He has always been kind and gentle, and he also takes care of me. It's just that he is the eldest son of Yu, and he is in the cabinet with the old man, so he has many difficulties... I don't want to put him in a dilemma."

"So you have the heart to put me in a dilemma?" Pu Ying was helpless.

Fu Yuanqing smiled gently: "The cabinet is the head of all officials, and it needs to be held by an upright and upright person, so that the world can be peaceful. Quietly, in the government and the public, there is no other suitable person like you. I can't bear to let you fall into a dilemma, but I have to let you fall into disputes. Not only do you want to join the cabinet, but you also want to be His Majesty's chief assistant and govern the world for His Majesty after Mr. Ge Lao and Mr. Heng Ge retire. If you enter the cabinet, go It is the way recommended by the supervisor of ceremonies. It will definitely be included in the eunuch party. At that time, people in the world will ridicule it, scholars will humiliate it, and courtiers will attack it... The reputation will be ruined, and you will be in constant fear. You have to think about it."

"You underestimate me, Pu Ying too." Pu Ying said, "You can bear these hardships for 13 years, why, I can't bear it."

"Yes, I underestimated you, Pu Jinglai." Fu Yuanqing followed the example of kindness.

Pu Ying said: "If I join the cabinet, I will act impartially and will not be tolerant and indulgent to you."

"I know." Fu Yuanqing said.

"No matter who it is, as long as it doesn't match the community, I will never let it go."

"Yes, I understand."

"After His Majesty takes power, what about you?"

Fu Yuanqing looked at Chen Jing calmly, smiled, and said longingly: "At that time, the heavy responsibility given to me by the late emperor will be relieved. I will retire after I have completed my career, and join hands with Chen Jing, I can return to my hometown."

"I'm used to deceiving people." Pu Ying said after a moment of silence, "After your Majesty takes power, you will be liquidated. You have done so many things over the years and offended so many people. You are a thorn in the side of scholars. It is already your greatest sin. At that time, no matter whether there is any evidence of crime, no matter whether you are working for the world or not. There will be no future. Where will there be anything to return to the pastoral."

"I know." Fu Yuanqing said, "A palace man who has been in power for thirteen years. If I am not liquidated, who will work hard for the young emperor?"

"Zhao Jin asked Gu Gu in front of the bed back then, and never wanted to leave you a way out."

"It's not the fault of the first emperor." Fu Yuanqing said, "He has done his best to keep this country from being overthrown. I will also do my best to let the people live in peace. The future... the future will be entrusted to Jing Xian. Jiangshan Sheji, It's all on your shoulders."

Pu Ying's eyes were red, she frowned for a while, and bowed to the end.

"I, Pu Ying, hereby make an agreement with you. I join the cabinet and I am determined to clear the way with my own body. If there are ups and downs, I will be the first in the world!"

Fu Yuanqing stretched out his palm and asked, "Do you want to make a high-five alliance?"

"Childish...it's been a child's trick since when. Hi-fiving is a bond." Pu Ying muttered, but she still stretched out her hand, slapped Fu Yuanqing three times in a row, and held the same place tightly.

Then they looked at each other and laughed.

Once the matter of joining the cabinet is settled, Pu Ying can drink with peace of mind.

He said with emotion: "Hey, drink two more bowls. After tonight, I will be called a subordinate of the eunuch party. It's just that the word eunuch party is ugly."

Fu Yuanqing couldn't help laughing and sighing: "I'm an eunuch, so you are naturally an eunuch. It's ugly to be picky."

"Why don't you name it again. Something nicer to hear. What kind of mandarin duck party, what kind of peach blossom party, chic and romantic, so you can live up to the romantic and suave."

"You can get up, but no one will call." Fu Yuanqing woke him up.

Pu Ying thought about it too, and regretted giving up.

"When will I join the cabinet?" He asked again, "Haven't you been rejected by His Majesty recently? Can I still join the cabinet with the line of the chief inspector?"

"If you pass the Dingyou copy across the cabinet, you are not the elders of Yuge and Hengge. When His Majesty is waiting for someone to be employed, seeing your copy of Dingyou will definitely win your heart. Not only that, I will let you enter the cabinet immediately." The imperial decree will also come down together."

Pu Ying frowned: "Can the little emperor think of this level?"

"Although His Majesty is young, he has a broad vision and a keen mind." Fu Yuanqing said, "Don't underestimate him."

Fu Yuanqing filled another bowl for him, took a sip quietly, then suddenly remembered, and asked: "There is a vacancy in Wenxuan Secretary's position, and Cen Jingyi and others have recommended some, but they are not very satisfied. I am afraid that we must find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. Only then can it be reported to the cabinet. If this matter is uncertain, some people will always be active."

Fu Yuanqing smiled: "I have already found the candidate for you. After you enter the cabinet, you will be able to check it at the spring banquet."

"Oh?" Pu Ying was curious, "Who can get into the eyes of Fu's palm print."
