As soon as Feng Yibo said these sonorous and powerful words, the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but be moved.
This is especially true for Lin Ruhai!
He looked at Feng Yibo anxiously and whispered:
"Yibo! You!"
His only legitimate daughter was promised to this one-of-a-kind son-in-law.
If some things hadn't been resolved, Lin Ruhai would have wanted to retire early.
This son-in-law not only saved his own life, but also restored the health of their father and daughter.
Even his sister is the same, and the concubine Miaoyu has already become a concubine.
In Lin Ruhai's heart, Feng Yibo has long been his family!
If she really breaks off the engagement now, it will be difficult for Daiyu to accept it.
Even he, Lin Ruhai, would never allow it!
Even if Emperor Jingshun agreed to let Daiyu be the prince's concubine.
It’s hard to get better than now.
He might even be laughed at, saying that the Lin family had no regard for shame in order to cling to imperial power.
For Daiyu's happiness, and for the Lin family's face.
Even more so for Feng Yibo!
Lin Ruhai must refuse.
But he originally wanted to take this matter on himself!
What I didn't expect was that he hadn't even finished speaking.
The son-in-law took over the conversation.
Now he is even saying such powerful words and showing a disobedient attitude.
At first glance, these words sound righteous.
But anyone with a discerning eye can appreciate that there is a hint of contempt for imperial power in it.
There are some elites among the scholars who take pride in resisting the imperial power, but most of them are petty officials.
They are all useless people who only know how to talk.
Resisting imperial power is nothing more than grandstanding.
Use this as a gimmick to add color to your reputation.
Because they couldn't change anything, the emperor couldn't be bothered.
He also used this to show his tolerance and generosity.
But Feng Yibo is different!
He is already a third-rank official in the imperial court, but he shows no intention of disobeying the emperor's orders.
It would be difficult not to be jealous of the emperor!
Lin Ruhai was confident that even if he refused to break off the engagement, the emperor would not embarrass him.
Moreover, as long as that matter is over in the future, he can grow old smoothly.
When the time comes, Emperor Jingshun will definitely take his reputation into consideration and will not embarrass him.
Don't be afraid of affecting your future.
But his son-in-law is a twenty-year-old servant.
If he is tabooed by the emperor because of this, then the gain outweighs the loss!
Especially today, if this matter is really finalized.
Then he is destined to miss the Ministry of Rites in the future.
If a minister wants to join the cabinet, his ability, qualifications, reputation, etc.
Indispensable.
The position of Minister of Rites is a shortcut to entering the cabinet.
If you can't hold the post of the Ministry of Rites, you still want to join the cabinet.
That is really difficult!
Even after some people have experienced great ups and downs, they can still enter the cabinet.
Most of them happened after the change of power.
In other words, unless there is a change of emperor or a change of dynasty.
Otherwise the chances are extremely slim!
Feng Yibo saw Lin Ruhai's anxious expression, smiled and comforted him:
"Doctor Lin, don't worry. I know what I know. You don't have to say anything. I believe everything will be decided by the Holy One!"
It is not easy to talk about relatives in the court, so they are only addressed by their official positions.
Feng Yibo naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, but he was confident about it.
Because, he knows, except himself.
No one can handle Donghai County!
In Feng Yibo's opinion, this matter is easy to solve.
He believed that even if Emperor Jingshun really asked him to step down.
You have to give in in the end!
How to make him step down, how to make him come back again!
Based on the principle that whoever wants to be the final winner will be the mastermind behind the scenes.
I just took this opportunity to find out.
Find out who is behind the scenes!
By then, I will definitely let him or them.
Pay a heavy price!
It’s not that easy to worry about overseas interests!
Feng Yibo sneered in his heart.
As long as they know who it is, then use their overseas claws...
Chop them all!
Emperor Jingshun couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing Feng Yibo's words.
It’s not that Feng Yibo was resisting the decree.
But when he thought about it, he had given Feng and Lin enough face.
Even the prince and his concubine agreed to go out.
Only in this way can Feng Yibo's future be saved.
The two families have absolutely no reason to refuse!
Unexpectedly, the two families rejected his emperor's kindness one after another.
If he hadn't always acted like a wise king.
At this point, it’s time to put pressure on the situation and make both families accept it.
But now, Emperor Jingshun, who wanted to be a wise king, was in a dilemma.
If Feng Yibo were to resign, it would be difficult for Donghai County to deal with it.
If Feng Yibo is not allowed to resign, he will be lacking in etiquette and law.
Emperor Jingshun had no idea at this time and couldn't help but look at Zhang Songyue and asked:
"Teacher, I wonder how you think this matter should be handled?"
The more Zhang Song listened to Feng Yibo's words, he knew that Emperor Jingshun wanted to ask this question.
Fortunately, he had been thinking about it for a long time and had some ideas.
When asked, he said directly:
"The old minister thinks that it is better to let Captain Feng temporarily serve as the minister of Honglu Temple, and let the former minister of Honglu Temple temporarily serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Although the Minister of Honglu Temple is a fourth-rank official, he is also the chief officer of the department.
And the duties he is responsible for are similar to those of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
It’s all about foreign affairs and etiquette.
However, relatively speaking, this one is biased towards execution.
Overall, it can be regarded as a subordinate department of the Ministry of Rites.
But what Zhang Songyue used was: one temporary appointment and one temporary replacement.
Obviously, Feng Yibo still has to be the main one.
"Put this matter aside for now and discuss it slowly later."
Zhang Songyue is mature and prudent after all, or rather cunning.
He knew that this matter was now a dilemma.
No matter what choice he made, it would not be in the interests of the Wei Dynasty or Emperor Jingshun.
Therefore, a compromise method was proposed.
He wanted Feng Yibo to neither break off the engagement nor join the Ministry of Etiquette.
But he can have a name and continue to be responsible for overseas affairs.
This is considered a comprehensive strategy.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, the conclusion was almost final without mentioning the coffin.
It is not easy for others to refute.
Otherwise, it will inevitably be counterattacked by the new party with the largest number of party members.
Even the censor who initiated the impeachment was silent at this time.
Because for him, he has barely achieved his goal now.
Although not as perfect as expected.
But faced with Zhang Songyue's suggestion, he had to temporarily choose to compromise.
When Emperor Jingshun heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Songyue meant.
This is using the word "drag".
As long as the relationship between Donghai County and Wei Dynasty gets further, Feng Yuan will no longer be needed as a tool.
At that time, it didn't matter what official he was.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingshun showed a smile and praised:
"As expected of a teacher, be cautious after all. This matter is based on..."
Seeing that Emperor Jingshun was about to agree, all civil and military officials in the dynasty thought that the dust had settled.
A person whom no one expected, interrupted Emperor Jingshun's words.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
Everyone was surprised because the person who spoke was Feng Yibo!
He interrupted Emperor Jingshun, but first saluted Zhang Songyue and said:
"Thank you very much, teacher, for your protective kindness, but please forgive me for not being able to take over Feng Yuan's position as Minister of Honglu Temple."
Zhang Songyue frowned when he heard this, thinking that Feng Yibo was a little arrogant based on his merits.
I don't want to accept demotion.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:
"Oh? Could it be that Captain Feng feels that his rank is low?"
Since this is saying, didn’t you just say obey the distribution?
I am also asking, do you dare to reject my decision?
There was a faint hint of threat and strong dissatisfaction.
"it's not true!"
When Feng Yibo heard this, he shook his head and said:
"The student is not ungrateful. He naturally understands that the Minister of Honglu Temple is also a chief official, no less than the right minister of the Ministry of Rites!"
He naturally understood that Zhang Songyue was actually speaking for him.
Therefore, these words come from the sincerity.
"Why is that?"
Zhang Songyue frowned and was a little confused about Feng Yibo's thoughts.
Although I am procrastinating, many things are solved in procrastination.
What's more, Honglu Temple Qing is the chief officer.
For Feng Yibo, the minister of Honglu Temple was actually more valuable than the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Whether an official has ever been in charge of a political party is also an important qualification.
Except for the imperial envoy Jiangnan, he can barely be regarded as the leader.
Strictly speaking, Feng Yibo has no other experience as a chief official.
In this way, it can be regarded as making up for his shortcomings.
As long as the etiquette problem is solved in the future, he will only be one position away from becoming the Minister of Rites.
And as long as Li Shouzhong successfully enters the cabinet, Feng Yibo may not have the opportunity to take over as Minister of Rites.
After all, he had the great merit of donating soil to Donghai County.
In addition, there is the experience of being a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the experience of being a chief official.
As long as Emperor Jingshun nods, it is logical to take over as Minister of Rites.
By then, there might even be a cabinet bachelor who joins the cabinet at the age of thirty!
Next, even if you have to go through seniority, it will not be difficult to become the first assistant.
But now, he actually refused!
From Zhang Songyue's point of view, Feng Yuan was simply ignorant.
Feng Yibo actually understood a little of what Zhang Songyue meant.
But there is one key point that Zhang Songyue apparently forgot.
In other words, he just wanted to delay it first.
Instead of solving the problem for Feng Yibo!
because……
"The ministers of Honglu Temple are in charge of tributes, celebrations, ceremonies, etc., which are also matters related to etiquette."
Feng Yibo's implication is that since the Ministry of Rites is not good, then anything related to Rites is not suitable for him.
This was one of the reasons why he refused!
Since it violates the etiquette system, there is no chance to take charge of the etiquette department.
Zhang Songyue seemed to be thinking about him, but in fact he was just delaying!
It is difficult to solve the etiquette problem!
Unless he cancels the Lin family's marriage.
Another reason is, of course, that Feng Yibo wants to completely separate himself from overseas affairs.
If he were at Honglu Temple, he would still be involved in overseas affairs.
Naturally, it’s hard for Donghai County to do anything!
Otherwise, wouldn’t he also suffer the consequences?
If that was the case, how could he find out what was behind the scenes?
How to fight back against this round of oppression against him?
"Then where do you want to go?"
Zhang Songyue didn't know what he was thinking.
It could be seen that Feng Yibo was causing trouble on his own, so he couldn't help but ask a heart-wrenching question.
This can be considered an angry remark.
But Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this, obviously he had already planned it.
"Since students are not qualified for positions related to etiquette, then..."
Having said this, Feng Yibo paused, then bowed and said:
"The students are willing to take a leave of absence until a more suitable position becomes available, and then they can contribute to the country and be loyal to the Holy One."
This is his choice.
Either continue to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, or quit it altogether!
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
No one could have imagined that Feng Yibo would choose to give up his job!
Only the censor who impeached him showed joy.
Originally, as long as Feng Yibo left overseas affairs.
His mission is complete.
But Zhang Songyue intervened and saw that Feng Yibo was going to Honglu Temple.
His mission was only half accomplished.
But now things have turned around, and Feng Yuan himself resigned.
If so, wouldn't his mission be completed 200%!
At this time, even Zhang Songyue was a little dumbfounded.
"this……"
He hesitated while looking at Emperor Jingshun.
With Zhang Songyue's experience, he didn't expect it at all.
Feng Yibo will do this!
In his opinion, doesn't this mean he will destroy his own future?
The reason why Zhang Songyue looked at Emperor Jingshun was not because he ran out of ideas.
But he understands this disciple in the dragon position.
No matter how gentle Emperor Jingshun behaves on weekdays, he is still an emperor!
Of course he has his temper.
At this time, seeing Feng Yibo threatening to resign in person, Emperor Jingshun suddenly lost his temper.
He snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph! Since Captain Feng said so, I will grant you my wish."
really!
Zhang Songyue sighed secretly.
This emperor is otherwise good, but he loves face too much.
Now Feng Yibo is resigning in person, which is obviously threatening.
It’s surprising that Emperor Jingshun could bear it!
"Yibo!"
Among the ranks of civil servants, Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai almost spoke in unison.
Li Shouzhong never said anything because he was waiting for the opportunity.
Based on his understanding of Feng Yibo, he thought that his disciple would definitely fight back.
Unexpectedly, this disciple would be so impulsive today!
Lin Ruhai regretted hearing this!
I regretted not stopping Feng Yibo just now, but letting him face this situation alone.
But!
Besides resigning, he has many options!
At this moment, it was really difficult for Lin Ruhai to understand.
He even thought of agreeing to break off the engagement to preserve Feng Yibo's future.
Both of them wanted to stop him, but Feng Yibo turned a deaf ear.
He turned around, bowed deeply to Emperor Jingshun, and said loudly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
After saying that, he took off his official hat and handed it to the palace attendant of His Majesty Dan.
Then he turned around and ran out of the hall.
"Captain Feng, you haven't gone to court yet!"
Liu Zheng suddenly stepped out of the queue and stopped in front of him.
The anxiety in his eyes moved Feng Yibo a little.
He was not good at famous quotes, so he could only smile and say:
"Thank you, Liu Sicheng, for reminding me. It's just that I no longer have a real position, so it is naturally inconvenient for me to stay longer."
Ministers who do not have actual duties do not have to go to court.
Just like Jia She and Jia Zhen, they both have honorary titles but no actual duties.
Now that Feng Yibo has resigned and Hou Que is the only one left with him.
It is true that there is no need to go to court.
But it’s time to wait until the end of the day before leaving.
But Feng Yibo obviously didn't want to wait any longer.
After he finished speaking, he walked around Liu Zheng, leaving behind a handsome figure.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Feng Yuan for being rude!"
Li Shou felt ups and downs in his heart, but he immediately came to Dan to apologize.
Emperor Jingshun did not expect that someone would hang up his crown and leave.
It’s unclear whether this is the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties or the scholarly spirit.
However, when Li Shouzhong spoke, Emperor Jingshun had no choice but to give him some face.
"That's all, he is just a scholar. I won't argue with him."
The implication is that he will not argue with children.
Li Shouzhong quickly thanked him and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
Such conversations were heard by Feng Yibo, who had not yet left the Tai Chi Hall.
Walking to the door of Tai Chi Hall, the last thing I heard was the voice of Emperor Jingshun.
"Now that Captain Feng has been crowned, is there anyone among you who can protect Donghai County?"
Next, the DPRK will obviously have a heated discussion on who will take over the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
All parties must seize the opportunity, but the people behind his impeachment must be more confident.
However, these have nothing to do with Feng Yibo for the time being.
He wanted to take this opportunity now to take a good rest.
I just want to spend more time with my wife and concubines, so that I can do more to extend the incense of the Feng family.
Feng Yibo wanted to see if he could break the curse of someone else's wife before he was reinstated.
How many children can he have with his own woman?
