The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 133 About Preferring Boys or Girls
Although the reform of official positions and dismissal of the Prime Minister touched the interests of many people, from another perspective, the six departments directly obeyed the orders of Emperor Yuanchang and became an institution directly under the emperor, which was a huge improvement for the six departments.

If you think about it, it is true. If it is based on the past, the six departments are only the six departments under the leadership of the prime minister, at least in terms of grade, they are lower than the prime minister's grade. More importantly, at certain times, you can't let go of things. , For example, a certain minister in the six books has an idea and wants to present it to the emperor. However, if there is a conflict with the prime minister, it is really a troublesome matter. Now, it is much easier. If the minister in the six books is sufficiently responsible , It will be more powerful to the court.

Therefore, although such a change is also secretly resisted by some people, those problems are obviously not difficult problems.

Today's Ruan Phuc sits in the palace almost every day.

The people selected from the Hanlin Academy to handle government affairs for Emperor Yuanchang opened up a special place for handling government affairs in the Humble Administrator's Hall in the palace. The first class has been selected through layers of selection, and they have survived the pressure of the first few days. At this time, they are already on the right track.

Ruan Fu's office is also in the Humble Administrator's Hall, and she is located in an independent small hall opened up in the Humble Administrator's Hall.

The so-called emperor has a lot of things to do every day, even if there are more than [-] people working together in the Humble Administrator's Hall at this time, the whole Humble Administrator's Hall still looks very busy. People often communicate with people, and they often transport some books back and forth between the two places through the hands of eunuchs. People outside have read the books after they have read them, and they will choose some books that have passed through Ruan Fu's hands, and then they will enter Emperor Yuanchang. hands.

Ruan Fu was sitting behind the desk writing something, when a young eunuch came in with small steps, "Ruan Tongzhi, Master Feng is here."

Ruan Fu raised his head, glanced at the eunuch, put down the pen in his hand, "Please come in, Master Feng."

"Yes."

The little eunuch had just stepped back, and in less than a cup of tea, a person entered Ruan Fu's small hall, it was Feng Hexuan.

The prime minister was dismissed, but Feng Hexuan was not directly given the land by Emperor Yuanchang to enjoy his old age like those Sangongs who retained their fame and vain positions, and no longer accepted the imperial salary and salary. Over the years, although he has not made any great achievements, he has never made any mistakes. Therefore, he became one of the deputy directors of the court.

It's just... Ever since the imperial decree was issued, Feng Hexuan had been ill for several days due to wind-cold symptoms, and he didn't see anyone or guests, and he didn't even go to court, and even visited the Humble Administrator's Hall for the first time today.

When Feng Hexuan came in, Ruan Fu had already left the desk, and sat in the other part of the small hall for guests. Seeing Feng Hexuan, he said with a faint smile, "Master Feng is in good health now?"

Feng Hexuan's complexion was still a little bad, it was indeed like a symptom left by the wind and cold, and other than that, his whole body didn't seem to have changed much from usual, it seemed that this change really affected him. The had no effect in general.

Seeing Ruan Fu, he raised his hand and saluted as a colleague, "Ruan Tongzhi."

Ruan Fu pointed to the chair next to him, "Master Feng, please sit down."

Feng Hexuan just sat down, and after he sat down, he said, "The old man has been ill for the past few days, and I am really afraid of breaking the etiquette, so I can't go out, but at the time of the change in the court, I let Ruan Tongzhi help me Take it, I'm really ashamed."

Ruan Fu raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and said kindly, "Master Feng, since you are sick, you always have to rest at ease. After all, you can talk about other things when you are healthy, right? The cabinet has just been established, and His Majesty's expectations are very high. Although I am the director of the court, these few days, it is the result of the concerted efforts of all the people in the court. I dare not accept Master Feng's words alone. .”

Feng Hexuan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Ruan Tongzhi is a talent in Jingwei, and under the leadership of Ruan Tongzhi, the courtyard pavilion will surely achieve His Majesty's expectations. I am getting old, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Ruan Tongzhi too much. "

"Really?" Ruan Fu asked lightly, with that familiar smile still on the corner of her lips, Feng Hexuan's words didn't seem to arouse her any emotions, "Could Mr. Feng just joke with me, Feng Hexuan? My lord has been in court for many years, and I still need to teach you in the future."

There was a smile on Ruan Song's face, "I don't dare to give advice, but since His Majesty still trusts me so much, I will definitely do my best. In the future, I will also ask Ruan Tongzhi for more advice."

"Don't dare to take it." Ruan Fu said.

Feng Hexuan didn't seem to care, and asked Ruan Fu about some things in the courtyard these days. Since Feng Hexuan is one of the vice directors of the courtyard, Ruan Fu naturally wouldn't hide anything, and answered them one by one. .

After Feng Hexuan finally had no doubts, he sighed, "In the past, when Ruan Tongzhi was acting as the councilor for His Majesty in the imperial study, the old man had never worked with Ruan Tongzhi before. I only know that Ruan Tongzhi is a prime minister, and now I know what he said. I'm afraid I can't explain all three of them."

It is true that Ruan Song has been bedridden due to illness since the second day after the promulgation of the three imperial edicts by Emperor Yuanchang, but that does not mean that he is ignorant of the situation outside. At that time, he got so much opposition from those old ministers and the disciples of the old ministers who had dismissed their positions, but now, in only seven days, the operation of the entire court has been beyond his expectation. Normal and smooth, among them, Naturally, it is inseparable from Ruan Phuc's wrist.

Today's Feng Hexuan also has to admit that in some matters, perhaps, Ruan Fu's ability is much better than that of Ruan Song in the past. , I don’t know how much is missing, but in the face of the problem, she can obviously find a way that is more suitable for long-term development, not conspiracy theory, but real politics.

In the past, he always thought that Ruan Fu, who was able to roam the Central Plains under the name of Meng Changqing, at least used these insidious tricks when doing things, but now he knows...

Feng Hexuan's sigh, Ruan Fu heard, brought some complicated emotions, including regret, self-deprecation, and maybe more, she probably knew what Feng Hexuan was thinking, but she didn't Care about it, "Master Feng praises it absurdly."

Feng Hexuan took a deep look at Ruan Fu, then stood up, "Since that's the case, I won't delay Ruan Tongzhi here."

Ruan Fu made a gesture of invitation, and ordered the eunuch at the door to lead Feng Hexuan to work in his own place.

Under the leadership of the little eunuch, Feng Hexuan went to a small hall opposite Ruan Fu. Everything was settled inside, and there was only one person missing. The eunuch said respectfully, "Master Feng, this will be your office in the future." place."

After all, he quietly backed out again.

In the entire small hall, apart from the eunuchs guarding the door, there is only Feng Hexuan inside, and the size of this small hall seems to be about the same size as Feng Hexuan's study in Zuo Xiangfu.

Now that the Prime Minister has been dismissed, there is no such place as the Prime Minister's Mansion. Therefore, Emperor Yuanchang did not take back the Zuo Xiang's Mansion from Fenghexuan, but the title Zuo Xiang's Mansion no longer exists, and it has only become Feng's Mansion.

Feng Hexuan walked up to the table, sat on the chair, stretched out his hand to support a chair handle, and pressed it hard again, and then let out a long breath, the original smile when facing Ruan Fu was gone. Disappeared cleanly.

No one saw his expression, and no one knew if he was thinking about himself, but, during the seven days, all the changes happened, when he appeared in front of people, everyone's name for him became Master Feng is not the empress left who he is very familiar with, this kind of feeling is really not good.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Feng Hexuan's lips, but he didn't make any sound. He glanced at the table, and there were already some paperwork piled up on it. His expression gradually returned to his usual appearance, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up. Open the booklet slowly and read it.

In the side hall on the other side, after Feng Hexuan left, Ruan Fu was still sitting in the original position, drinking tea slowly, and after dealing with political affairs all morning, she was also a little tired.

She was stretching out her hand to rub her neck, when a little eunuch outside told her that Mr. Li had come to see her.

Ruan Fu stood up, returned to the office desk, sat down and said, "Master Li, please come in."

As Ruan Fu's voice fell, Li Xiu entered Ruan Fu's small hall with a booklet.

Li Xiu is a role model for this year. His grandfather was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy before, and he resigned at home after Li Xiu was in high school, and basically did not appear in the Imperial Academy. No matter whether it is Ruan Fu, Emperor Yuanchang, or Yu Wujue, they all feel that these two people are malleable talents. After all, it has only been less than half a year since they entered the Imperial Academy. There are not many opportunities to show political achievements, but they have gradually shown a pragmatic style, which is especially valuable.

However, seeing Li Xiu frowning and walking in a hurry, Ruan Fu said, "Why is Master Li in such a hurry?"

After getting along with Ruan Fu for the past few days and Ruan Fu's skill in handling political affairs, Li Xiu has been convinced enough for Ruan Tongzhi, who should have been a stranger. The ability to come out is definitely less than half of Ruan Fu's, but how did Ruan Fu do it.

There is no way to investigate this point. Li Xiu has already stepped forward and handed the booklet in his hand to Ruan Fu, "Tongzhi Ruan, please take a look. This is the list and situation of the disciples of Sangong who collectively complained of illness in the past few days and no longer went to court."

As Li Xiu said, Ruan Fu had already opened the booklet, and it seemed that the booklet was a bit thick, so she was not in a hurry to read it.

Indeed, although the court has been operating normally these past few days, but because of the ouster of the three princes and the abolition of vain positions, those people originally had many disciples in the court, and those people could not be ashamed to make trouble, and they knew that they were now powerless to resist Yes, but I always want to drag my former students to make some noise in the court.

Nowadays, so many people say that they are sick and cannot go to court, but they just want to continue to exert pressure in another way. If they say that they are sick and cannot go to court, then no one will deal with the things that should be handled by them. It will break, it's nothing more than wanting to see Yuange's joke.

Ruan Fu flipped through it casually, then closed the booklet, and continued to read without interest, but Li Xiu's expression did not look very good, Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows, "What do you think, Mr. Li?"

"Press." Li Xiudao, he paused, and then continued, "Because of emotions such as the relationship between teachers and students, I want to put pressure on the court, but in fact I really don't want to be dismissed. If they really Those who have great determination to dismiss from office collectively, I am afraid that our court will have nothing to do with them for a while."

Ruan Fu looked at Li Xiu in surprise, this seemingly harmless second place in the Jinke ranking turned out to be the case, Ruan Fu smiled, "It turns out Master Li is also such a sharp person."

Li Xiu was a little taken aback, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer Ruan Fu for a moment. After all, what Ruan Fu said seemed to be a joke, Ruan Fu didn't care, and pointed to the table. Zhezi said, "In this case, they don't have much sincerity and determination. Don't they all call themselves sick? Since they don't want to do things, there are a lot of people in the Hanlin Academy who are waiting for vacancies and training to enrich the courtyard. They don't want to do it." , presumably there are still many people in our Hanlin Academy who want to do it."

Ruan Fu couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, as if he really didn't care about this matter, Li Xiu raised his head, frowned and said, "Your official knows what to do."

Ruan Fu smiled, "Then there will be Master Lao Li."

Li Xiu nodded, without further words, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his head and continued to deal with political affairs.

On the other side, in a tea house in Yongjia City, the tea drinkers are chatting lively about the changes that have taken place in Yongjia City in the past few days.

Although the common people don't care who's position has changed, who has been deposed, and who has not been deposed, they are also fond of talking about those who have changed from high officials to common people and moved out of the inner city. Among them, of course There is no shortage of discussions about her, Miss Feng, who was one of the beautiful girls in Yongjia back then.

It's not a good girl, of course there is no such big ostentation in the past. In the past, the daughters of the Liubu family, who were either under her, or those she didn't want to pay attention to, would flatter her. Now, those who she looks down on in King Yi People, but she is more superior than her, the director of the imperial study, but from the daughter of a third-rank official, such a change of status, and the comments of outsiders, in her eyes, are like needle-like irony.

The servant girl following Feng Moran looked at Feng Moran worriedly, "Miss..."

Feng Moran turned her head, looked at her coldly, and did not speak.

Yu Wuyan came in at this time, and when he saw Feng Moran, he still smiled as usual, "Miss Feng, if you don't mind me coming in, please."

Although he was asking, the person had already entered and sat on the chair opposite Feng Moran.

He came in from the outside, so he heard what the people outside said, "Why should Miss Feng care about that? Back then, Miss Feng was so proud, why did she ever take other people's words to heart?"

Feng Moran lowered her eyes, her tone was a bit cold and arrogant, "Is Jiang Wang here to see the jokes of my courtiers?"

Yu Wuyan smiled, "Miss Feng will be wrong, how could this king?"

Feng Moran sneered, did not speak, Yu Wuyan said, "I know that Miss Feng is not reconciled, and now Mrs. Feng is the deputy director of the court, no matter what you think, it is all under Ruan Tongzhi..."

Yu Wuyan's tone was faint, but these words seemed to have touched a certain nerve in Feng Moran, Feng Moran raised her head, "Why do you need to provoke me, my lord can say these words to me today, I must be dissatisfied If you are willing, I am afraid that you will not be less than me."

Yu Wuyan didn't admit it, and smiled frankly, "It's true, this king and Miss Feng have the same idea, and they don't like Ruan Fu, but since her ability is there, even if this king doesn't like it, Can't do anything."

Feng Moran remained silent, apparently not wanting to communicate with Yu Wuyan much.

Seeing this, Yu Wuyan narrowed her eyes when she saw Feng Moran, and a strange emotion flashed across her face, but it disappeared quickly, and she still smiled, "But I believe that with Miss Feng's persistence, it must be I will have some thoughts, by the way, I forgot to tell Miss Feng, these days, Jin Wang and Ruan Tongzhi often go in and out together, I am afraid it is already a common thing."

Feng Moran suddenly raised her head to look at Yu Wuyan, Yu Wuyan smiled slightly, "This king has something else to do, Miss Feng can do whatever she wants."

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to go outside.

Seeing this, Feng Moran stood up suddenly, "His Royal Highness, stay a while, Moran still has something to say to you."

-

When Ruan Fu left the palace again, it was past the time of Shen, and when he returned to Tongzhi Mansion, he had dinner and the sky had already darkened.

Since she was promoted, she has been busy without stopping, and now she is a little better.

After taking a bath, she was walking in front of the desk, but Pan Xia came over with a booklet, "Miss, Princess Yi brought it here today."

Ruan Fu was a little surprised, took the booklet and flipped through it, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Ruan Fu like this, Pan Xia was also a little curious, Ruan Fu raised the folder in his hand, "Wuyang's fifth birthday is coming, and the Yi Palace plans to entertain guests."

According to the temperament of Princess Yi and King Yi, they would not normally do such a thing, but since Wu Yang was born, except for the one-year-old birthday couple who were able to accompany their daughter, they often went out after that and missed their daughter. During the four years, Suo Xing Wuyang has never been unfamiliar with them. This year, taking advantage of the fact that both of them are in Yongjia, and at the age of five and ten, Yi Wang, who loves daughters so much, immediately decided to hold a big one. up.

Thinking of Wu Yang, Ruan Fu's expression softened a bit.There was also a smile on his face, "You ask someone to find the string of bells that we brought back from Xihu back then."

Pan Xia's eyes lit up, "Miss is talking about Xihu National Treasure Ruyi Linglong?"

Ruan Fu nodded, "Go."

Pan Xia responded, then turned around happily and left.

The so-called Xihu National Treasure Ruyi Linglong is something she got from helping Xihu when she went to Xihu. In fact, it is just a string of jade wares, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Apart from being beautiful and pleasing to the eye, it doesn't look very useful. Thinking of Wuyang's birthday, Ruan Fu first thought of the bell, but it still needs to be modified to get rid of some sharp parts before giving it to Wuyang.

Thinking of this, she thought of Wuyang's eccentric appearance, and smiled unconsciously.

"What are you laughing at? You look so happy?" Yu Wujue appeared at some point, and her voice rang out in due course.

Ruan Fu was not surprised by this person's appearance, he stood up and walked towards Ruantang, without answering Yu Wujue's question, he said, "Why are you here?"

Yu Wujue slightly frowned and glanced at Ruan Fu who was still smiling, apparently dissatisfied with her not answering her own question, and even dissatisfied with not knowing what made her so happy alone.

Ruan Fu obviously knew this, and was unable to complain about His Royal Highness Jin's temperament, so he pointed to the booklet that was still on the table, "I just received the wedding invitation for the birthday party from Princess Yi."

Yu Wujue glanced nonchalantly, then looked at Ruan Fu's smile that hadn't disappeared, and said in a particularly meaningful tone, "It seems that Ruan Er likes Wu Yang very much."

Ruan Fu smiled, "Wuyang is so cute, don't you like it too?" Speaking here, she thought of the little girl who called her so sweetly in the past, and her face became more gentle.

Yu Wujue looked at her expression, his expression was a little complicated, and he asked something that surprised Ruan Fu, "What if Wuyang is a boy?"

Ruan Fu blinked, looked at the person Ya Ya Cha seemed to be just asking casually, and remembered that if such a little boy was so well-behaved and sensible, he seemed to be very good, he would be a small version of Ruan Mingxuan. Thinking about it, her heart softened a little, and she said casually, "Is there any difference between a boy and a girl? They are both children, and they are both cute!"

Yu Wujue gave her a meaningful look, and said nothing, but Ruan Fu got used to being relaxed in front of Yu Wujue, and smiled, "I plan to give Ruyi Linglong to Wuyang."

Yu Wujue's tone was light, "Wuyang is still young, so it's useless to give it to her."

"Although Ruyi Linglong is a small toy, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it has been carefully crafted, which is very suitable for children of this age."

"Wuyang is already five years old, Ruyi Linglong won't be able to wear it for long."

"..."

Ruan Fu finally turned around, with a half smile but not a smile, "Don't the lord usually love Wu Yang very much, why is Ruyi Linglong so reluctant."

Yu Wujue lightly put down the teacup in Ruan Fu's hand, "Ruan'er, don't worry, I've already prepared the gift."

Too lazy to argue with someone who doesn't know what he is thinking, "What you send is what you send, how can it be compared with me."

Yu Wujue pursed her lips, glanced at Ruan Fu who had apparently settled on this, and was silent for a while, deciding not to continue on this matter, it seems that Ruan'er really likes Wuyang very much.

Seeing that there were still some faint bruises in her eyes, she immediately said, "Are you okay these few days?"

He was referring to the affairs of the court, and when talking about the affairs of the court, Ruan Fu also said, "It's nothing serious."

After finishing speaking, he told Yu Wujue some things that happened in the courtyard, and Yu Wujue just listened quietly, inserting two or three sentences from time to time, which seemed to be a little tender.
