Chapter 76
In the cold and windy silence and uneasiness, Mu Xi bowed respectfully and calmly, "I obey the order."

"Your Prime Minister." Feng Qi called softly.

Gong Zan was called out, stepped out calmly, kowtowed respectfully, "The minister is here."

"You have a lot of talents under your command, who is suitable for the Ministry of War?"

Feng Qingshu was startled, and raised her head in disbelief, her eyes filled with darkness.

"Reporting to the emperor, Qi Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, has been in the Ministry of War for six years, and his qualifications are sufficient for the post of Minister."

"Qi Yuan?" Feng Qi frowned in thought, his eyes swept across the crowd in the hall, "Is that the poor boy who won the second place six years ago?"

"Yes." Gong Zan replied respectfully.

"Where is this person?"

"The minister is here." A young and resolute voice sounded slowly, and a man dressed in a fifth-rank official uniform stood out from the back of the group of ministers, bowed his head and knelt down, "My humble minister Qi Yuan, pay homage to the emperor."

Feng Qi glanced at him, and said calmly: "You have been in the Ministry of War for six years, what have you learned?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have learned the true meaning of these two sentences: forming cliques for personal gain, and those who know current affairs are heroes."

The officials were shocked.

"Oh?" Feng Qi raised his eyebrows lightly, "Explain it to me."

"I came from a poor family, and the first thing I want is fame and fortune, but I have always understood in my heart that if fame and fortune are obtained through unjust means, it will not last long." Qi Yuan lowered his head, his voice was respectful but sonorous, "However, Since I got the second place in the examination with my strength six years ago and entered the military department as a doctor, I have deeply experienced the state of mind of a woman climbing high."

Women climbing high branches?

The officials were sweating profusely, their expressions were panicked, and they were complaining in their hearts that the children of the poor family are simply a group of idiots who are not afraid of death.

"This kind of statement is really interesting." Feng Qi's brows and eyes were relieved, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile of interest, "Do you feel that you have not climbed a high branch, and you feel aggrieved?"

"Going back to the emperor, that's not the case." Qi Yuan said frankly, "I have seen with my own eyes that Ji Xia, who entered the military department at the same time as me, was promoted much faster than me because he had a good relationship with my boss, Lord Ouyang. He became a servant in one year, but the minister had to endure for four years before he was promoted to the right servant, and he was frequently suppressed and excluded in the military department. Master Ouyang even tried to dismiss the minister's position again and again, but because he kept looking for Don’t give up if you don’t get the charge of the minister.”

"What a poor kid who speaks nonsense!" Feng Qingshu's face was livid with anger, "Master Ouyang is a second-rank minister of the imperial court, and also an uncle of the state, an upright relative of the emperor, how can you allow you to frame him like this?! He did it for you." Officials have always acted impartially, and the promotion of the officials under them also depends on their ability and ability. If you have no talent, how can he be promoted to you? You have mediocre qualifications but no self-knowledge, and you have repeatedly committed disrespect. Which boss do you think would dare to promote you? subordinate?"

King Yu was angry, but Qi Yuan didn't defend himself, just kept silent.

If the emperor wants to use him, he will naturally see whether he is mediocre in the future. If the emperor doesn't want to use him, what's the use of defending now, if he is not upright, he has committed the crime of disrespect?

"King Yu doesn't have to be so furious." Feng Qi didn't seem to care about his furious behavior, his expression was as calm as watching two children fight, it was normal, but every word he said was very important. It can make people feel the power of a thousand catties, and the absolute deterrence that no one can question, "From now on, Qi Yuan will be transferred to the Ministry of Households and take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Households."

The officials were surprised.

It turned out that instead of replacing Ouyang Xin, he was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. So Dou Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is going to be cleared?

King Yu's face was pale and pale.

"I accept the decree, thank the emperor for his kindness." Qi Yuan kowtowed respectfully and thanked him, "This humble minister will definitely live up to the mighty grace of the emperor."

Feng Qi's tone was indifferent, but there was a hint of iciness in the melodious voice, "You don't need to thank me, as long as you always remember what your duty is, I can give you what you want, and I will never be stingy with fame and fortune. On the contrary , and one day in the future, if you violate your original intention and do something that I cannot tolerate, then I might as well tell you in advance that I can give you a bright future today, and I can also let you die without a place to die tomorrow."

The ministers trembled.

Qi Yuan kowtowed, "I will always remember the emperor's instruction."

Feng Qi's tone was light, "Back off."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his eyebrows and eyes lightly, "As for the second position of the servants of the household department, Ting Yu will choose two capable and reliable personnel later and discuss with Qi Yuan. After all, they are his assistants, so try to take his opinion as the main priority."

Even if Qi Yuan was personally recommended by Right Prime Minister Gong Zan, everyone did not expect that the emperor would attach so much importance to him.

The candidates for the left and right servants of the household department are also based on his opinion, which means that from now on, the household department will be completely controlled by Qi Yuan.

This unreserved trust...

Not only Qi Yuan was moved, but the officials also felt some complicated emotions.

To gain such trust from the emperor, who would easily live up to this trust and honor unless his heart was eaten by a dog?

Yun Tingyu bowed his head to take orders, "I obey the order."

"Everyone is flat." Feng Qi caressed his forehead, looked at the officials quietly, and frowned when everyone stood back in line, "I remember that I still have a brother, who didn't seem to come today? Mu Xi, why didn't you hear that he asked for leave?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was another gust of cold wind.

Feng Qingshu's face was no longer so ugly, her gums were almost bleeding, and her nails dug into her palm fiercely.

Isolated.

He was wrong, terribly wrong, and they shouldn't have been asked to leave today.

Originally thought that so many ministers asking for leave at the same time would definitely make Feng Qi feel apprehensive, but unexpectedly, this was simply an opportunity for him to cut off his own wings.

Moreover, he was truly alone and helpless now, no one would speak for him, no one would take the risk of offending the emperor and stand by his side.

Today's move was a big mistake.

"Your Majesty is guilty." Mu Xi knelt down, "The Second Prince is not asking for leave, but has never entered the court once."

This is something that everyone knows, it is impossible for Feng Qi not to know.

"Really?" Feng Qi smiled casually, "Why hasn't he ever gone to court? Is he showing off?"

"Back to the emperor—"

"Mu Xi." Feng Qi lazily interrupted his reply, "Where is he now?"

"In Prince Nishinomiya's residence."

The Second Highness, Feng Tianzhan, because of her lowly status as a mother, and her mother's family has no powerful background, so she is not favored in the palace, and has not been reused in these years. There is not even a mansion of his own.

Feng Xi raised his eyes lightly, and said in a careless tone, "Go yourself, immediately, immediately, and declare him to court, if he doesn't come, he will be killed on the spot."
