Chapter 40: Another Helper
As expected, it was almost the same as Pei Min thought, and the next morning court!
Li Longji announced the resumption of censors in the court, and the historians attended the prime minister's meeting.
This proposal caught Yao Chong's party off guard. The Huangmen Minister and the Huangmen Pingzhang incident were the prime minister recommended by Yao Chong. At this time, he stood up to oppose it, scolded Li Longji, and changed his position to be left behind in Chang'an, and dismissed the prime minister.
At the same time, Song Jing, the Minister of Justice, was appointed as the third rank of the subordinate of the Secretariat, and promoted him to the position of prime minister.
Yao Chong was indeed unwilling to have many more opinions in the court that were contrary to his policies, especially Song Jing.
Yao Chong and Song Jing are two types of people. The former is extremely protective and sheltering to their own people and is merciless towards their "enemy". While Song Jing is justified in everything. Even if you are not in harmony with him, he will not use his power for personal gain and give you a small piece of shoes. But if you break the law, even if your relatives are close friends, he will not be merciful and have a selfless demeanor.
The two are like spears and shields, destined to be difficult to blend together.
After Yao Chong went to court, he directly resigned from the court to show his dissatisfaction.
Li Longji did not agree immediately, but instead appeased, but there was no change in Song Jing's system of censors participating in politics.
When Pei Min learned about these private secrets in the court, he could only sigh for Yao Chong. As long as Yao Chong did not change his original intention, within half a year, the end of the situation would be a foregone conclusion as soon as the news passed.
Yao Chong is a talented person, but he is just tired of his personality. If he really reaches that point, he can't blame others.
Pei Min did not go out today because he made an appointment with Yuan Luqian.
Yuan Luqian accompanied Yan Gaoqing to keep his father filial piety for ten days, intending to visit Pei's mother before returning to Weizhou to show his feelings.
"Luqian has seen Aunt Pei, how can you do?" Yuan Luqian knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Pei's mother.
Pei's mother had already met Yuan Luqian in Weizhou and enthusiastically pulled Yuan Luqian up. For her beloved friend, Pei's mother also treated her as a parent-child, and pulled him to ask about her well-being and his marriage.
Yuan Luqian blushed. He was even worse than Pei Min, and Pei Min had at least one sweetheart.
Yuan Luqian is still alone.
After all, Yuan Luqian's parents died unexpectedly, and no one was allowed to do this for him.
Yuan Luqian was devoted to glorifying his family, and did not focus on talking about love.
As the elder brother, Yan Gaoqing said several times, but Yan Gaoqing was also an official in another place, how many girls could he know? He could only persuade him, but he couldn't take action, so he was still owed.
Seeing Yuan Luqian hesitating, Pei's mother understood. However, she did not part with her, but instead said enthusiastically: "I know a few good girls who can introduce them to you. If you meet her eyes, my aunt will be a matchmaker for you."
Yuan Luqian looked at Pei Min as if asking for help.
Pei Min mercilessly said, "My mother is right, Brother Lu Qian, you are not good at taking the lead in this regard."
Yuan Luqian is almost twenty-six years old this year. In ancient times, they got married early. At this age, children are about to get married.
Pei Min also said out of kindness, "You can rest assured that my brother is old, my mother is open-minded. She doesn't care about the words of matchmakers, but also cares about the two of them getting to know each other. It's just an introduction to you. If your brother doesn't meet, my mother will never force her."
Pei's mother also said: "Lu Qian, please rest assured, your aunt will not force you. This marriage is a lifelong thing. You have to be in love with each other to be happy with your family. Your aunt will not harm you."
Faced with Pei's mother's loyalty, Yuan Luqian, as a junior, knew the reason why the elders gave her and dared not refuse, so he agreed.
Seeing Yuan Luqian agreeing, Pei's mother became active and thought that among the sisters she met, the children of that family were suitable.
Don’t think that today’s mother Pei’s mother is like that of the time. Nowadays, Pei’s mother is the wife of the imperial decree and a celebrity in front of Queen Wang today.
Li Longji's wife, Empress Wang, is also a heroine. Historical books praised her for "will be difficult to clear the country and make big plans. She has made plans and agreed to great cause, and has kindness to support her subordinates, and has both virtue and ability."
When Li Longji was the King of Linzi in the past, Empress Wang was like Empress Changsun of Emperor Taizong, who assisted Li Longji in the attack on Empress Wei behind the scenes, and was a virtuous wife.
In addition to being responsible for trivial matters in the harem, Queen Wang is also under her control.
If you have something to do, please invite Mrs. Hao to the palace and hold a banquet to show your favor and win over the hearts of the officials.
Pei's mother was also among the list, so Queen Wang naturally knew Pei Min's position in Li Longji's heart and took great care of Pei's mother.
Among the wife of the imperial edict, Pei's mother was not the highest-ranking one, but the one who was most cared for. She also met many sisters who were also the wife of the imperial edict.
Especially Pei Min's wife is left alone, and many people talk about her daughter or daughter in the clan. The so-called intention is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Although Pei's mother had never seen any big scenes, she brought Pei Min up with great difficulty, and the little people were full of wisdom.
As for her, they are all big boss-level figures and they don’t dare to think about it. They have relationships with anyone and don’t offend anyone.
Pei's mother was low-key, and other maids were unwilling to offend Pei Min. With the care of Empress Wang, Kudi, the largest maid of the Pei family, helped. After a while, Pei's mother also opened the door to the circle of maids and occupied a certain position.
Yuan Luqian is also a young hero. He is a local master at a young age. He has a promising future and full potential. It is not difficult to find a virtuous and virtuous wife for him.
After visiting Pei's mother, Pei Min pulled Yuan Luqian to drink with him in the mansion, performed his skills in his own hands, and made fish sashimi for Yuan Luqian to enjoy.
Yuan Luqian ate the sashimi as thin as silk, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Pei's skill in swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world."
Pei Min persuaded him to drink and asked about Yuan Luqian's situation in Weizhou.
Yuan Luqian said: "Everything goes well, Weizhou can be regarded as a brilliant person. The governor values us very much and is willing to entrust the important tasks. I believe you have heard that Brother Xin won the first place in the country in the selection of political achievements. Perhaps he is not as passionate as Brother Pei, but he has achieved certain results and is worthy of the local people."
"That's good!" Pei Min paused and said, "Would you like to come to Yaozhou to help me?"
Yuan Luqian glanced at Pei Min and paused, "If there is no sufficient reason, I don't want to leave Weizhou."
Pei Min said with a bitter face: "I am in a hurry to lack manpower! Taozhou's economy is on track, but my chief minister has a heart of loving the people and is a personal figure. But his ability is a little lacking. Next, I plan to focus on military affairs. He is not enough to give me peace of mind. Zhang Jiuling, who I persuaded not long ago, wouldn't have to worry about government affairs at all if I added Brother Yuan. As for Brother Yan, he would probably not have his seat in Weizhou. At that time, I will call him together. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for us brothers to work together?"
