Funing Hall.
"The eldest lady summoned Qian Weiyan today?"
"yes."
"Do you know the specific content of the conversation?"
Hearing this, Zhang Mao immediately knelt down and said in panic.
"The official pardons me. While the eldest lady was talking to Qian Jiedushi, the eldest lady sent away the irrelevant people."
"Don't kneel down all the time."
Li Jie frowned slightly and only knelt down once in a while, but Zhang Mao knelt down frequently now.
From following Lei Yungong, I didn’t learn any good things, but I learned a lot of bad things.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mao immediately climbed up from the ground, thinking to himself as he climbed.
Don't officials like their ministers to kneel?
But when Lei Yaban knelt down, didn't the officials react?
Although it was only a very subtle expression, it still aroused endless doubts in Zhang Maoze's heart.
For a moment, he thought about many possibilities.
Is he about to fall out of favor?
As a servant of the emperor, what he fears most is not not being promoted, but losing favor.
After all, chamberlains are the emperor's retainers, and life, death, honor and disgrace are all determined by the emperor's words.
Facing someone who can control his own destiny, Zhang Mao has no choice but to think too much.
"Just the same as before."
Zhang Maoze had a good relationship with his old self, and Li Jie didn't want Zhang Maoze to continue to go astray. The reason why he didn't remind him before was because he wanted Zhang Maoze to understand this truth on his own.
But now it seems that Zhang Maoze seems a bit dull, and his posture becomes more and more crooked as he grows longer.
"Yes, official."
Hearing this, Zhang Maoze's worries instantly disappeared without a trace.
The officials still like me.
I, Zhang Maoze, have not lost my favor!
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. Apart from himself, has the official taught anyone else to learn boxing?
No!
not a single one!
Zhang Mao is deeply aware of the power of that boxing technique.
In the past, although his body was relatively strong, it was only strong. In terms of force, he could never compare to the sergeant.
But now, he can fight against an adult and well-trained Imperial Guard sergeant alone.
In less than half a year, Zhang Mao has made such great progress. The more Zhang Mao practices, the more he feels that this set of boxing techniques is a royal secret.
Otherwise, why is the boxing so powerful?
"You will leave the palace later and go to the mansion of the eldest princess of the country of Ji. Let the eldest princess know that she will be allowed to enter the palace once in the past few days."
Not long ago, Li Jie asked Cao Qian to plan a proposal to reduce the royal support at the appropriate time.
Now, Cao Qian has other important responsibilities, so this plan has been put on hold for the time being.
Li Jie ordered the eldest princess of the country of Hebei to enter the palace, mainly because he wanted to get closer to his aunt and give her vaccinations along the way.
His aunt is a smart person and should know how to choose.
…
…
…
Two days later.
The Queen Mother suddenly summoned the important ministers and attendants of the two governments to discuss politics in Chengming Hall. After noon, all the ministers arrived at Chengming Hall one after another.
Among the courtiers, Ding Wei was the last one to arrive, almost in a rush.
"Ding Xiang."
Entering the palace, facing the responses from other ministers, Ding Wei just nodded indifferently, and then sat down at the head position.

Before entering the palace, Ding Wei had already received a message from Lei Yungong. The purpose of the Empress Dowager's summons to the court today was mainly to discuss the candidates for the deputy privy envoys.
After sitting down, Ding Wei half-closed his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed. He now felt a little proud in his heart.
After counting all the ministers in the palace, he was probably the only one who had received the news from the palace.
However, this is not the case.
Among the important ministers present, Wang Zeng also received the news from the palace, but he did not receive the message directly.
To be precise, he learned about the theme of today's political discussion from Lu Yijian.
Yesterday evening, Ren Shouzhong suddenly visited Lu Yijian's residence, and then told Lu Yijian about today's political discussion.
At the same time, Ren Shouzhong also asked Lu Yijian if he was interested in serving as deputy privy envoy?
Liu E never gave up her intention to win over Lu Yijian, so even though she already had Li Wei in mind, she did not forget to ask Lu Yijian about his wishes.
If Lu Yijian was willing, she would give up recommending Li Wei without hesitation.
Although the Mingzhou Li family is one of the branches of the Longxi Li family, after several generations of migration, the Mingzhou Li family almost formed a separate branch.
This was not the case for the Donglai Lu family. Since Lu Mengzheng, the Donglai Lu family had become a prominent family, with disciples and former officials all over the court.
Compared with the Mingzhou Li family, the influence of the Donglai Lu family is obviously higher.
Which one is more important or less important, Liu E has her own thoughts in mind.
Unfortunately, Lu Yijian was not interested in the position of deputy privy envoy, and the reason for his refusal was impeccable. He took the initiative to resign because of insufficient seniority.
Not long after, Liu E and Li Jie also entered the meeting hall.
After some tedious but necessary etiquette, the court meeting officially began, and the first person to speak was naturally Liu E, who had the power to take charge of military and state affairs.
"The purpose of summoning all the ministers to discuss today is to select the deputy privy envoy."
"Before Qian Weiyan left Beijing, he suggested to me that Li Wei, a Hanlin scholar, should take over as deputy privy envoy."
"Do you think Master Li can take on this important task?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the reactions of the officials in the palace were mixed.
Ding Wei showed no signs of happiness or anger on the surface, but he was shocked and angry in his heart.
Surprisingly, in Lei Yungong's letter, there was no mention of the Queen Mother's preferred candidate.
What made him angry was Qian Weiyan's backstabbing.
Good guy, Qian Weiyan actually did this to him before leaving Beijing.
Fortunately, the two of them were good friends and sons and daughters, but Qian Weiyan didn't even get angry with him when it turned out to be such a big deal.
Wrong payment!
It was really a wrong payment!
At this time, Ding Wei didn't even think about what he thought when Qian Weiyan was impeached. Now he will only settle the matter of Qian Weiyan backstabbing him.
This is true for all people. They always have high demands on others, but set very low standards for themselves.
On the other side, the courtiers of Wang Zeng's group glanced at Wang Zeng who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
What does the Queen Mother mean by this?
This is their common doubt.
Li Wei was Wang Zeng's uncle. Although Li Wei did not clearly take sides, when the critical moment came, Wang Zeng didn't care whether he took sides or not.
By then, Li Wei will definitely not take sides with Ding Wei.
This is for sure!
After all, people always have emotions and desires, and some are close and distant.

On the imperial stage, Li Jie had a panoramic view of the reactions of the ministers.
Just like the teacher standing on the podium during class, the students think their little moves are very secretive, but they don't know that they have been clearly seen by the teacher.
Ding Wei's surprise and Wang Zeng's indifference were both within the scope of his attention.
The reaction of these two people is very interesting.
Ding said that Li Jie deliberately asked Lei Yungong to pass on the news there for the purpose of today's court discussion.
However, Wang Zeng's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation. It seemed that Wang Zeng had known the news for a long time.
Who told him?
