"Master, what's wrong with you?"

At dusk, Mrs. Song was preparing dinner.

Seeing Song Gongwen returning home with a tired look on his face after finishing his official duties, he immediately asked.

Everything was fine before I left in the morning, what happened now?

Under the service of his servants, Song Gongwen took off his coat, stepped aside, and couldn't help but said: "I just took office as the cabinet today, and I got into trouble."

At that moment, he told everything about what happened in the cabinet today.

First of all, the bachelor of books doesn't take himself seriously at all.

Even the required memorials and documents.

You have to get it yourself.

After finally waiting for other cabinet members to arrive, they were ready to receive the ceremony.

But the other party also chose to ignore it, and no one said a word to him all day long.

Song Gongwen knew that if he took up the post of cabinet bachelor, he would definitely receive some rejection and dissatisfaction.

But what I didn't expect was that those people didn't even do anything superficial. Regardless of anything else, I at least have the status of the father-in-law.

"Master, don't be angry." After hearing this, Mrs. Song comforted her: "Isn't it the same when you first took up the post of Young Minister of Dali Temple? Let alone now that you have entered the cabinet."

"The Cabinet Grand Masters all hold power and have high prestige. As soon as you enter, there will definitely be people who don't want to see you."

"When you get familiar with it in the future, it will be much better. Besides, you are a cabinet bachelor."

"But His Majesty personally promoted him, so there is no need to care too much about this."

Mrs. Song’s natal family was also from a scholarly family.

It’s natural to understand some truths.

Tell your husband that he has just taken up the job and it is normal to encounter these things.

"Madam, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Song Gongwen sighed and continued: "But those people are so arrogant that they don't even let me read some important information. They also claim that I am a newcomer and should

Start by sorting out memorials and documents."

"Are these things what a bachelor should do? They completely regard me as their master scribe."

Speaking of this, Song Gongwen felt a little resentful in his brows.

He took over Li Fang's position.

And Li Fang is the second-ranking figure in the cabinet after the chief minister.

It's good now, not to mention that I haven't inherited the influence of my predecessor, and I am directly regarded as an academician.

In fact, he initially didn't care that other cabinet members chose to ignore it.

As long as you are able to speak, things will always get better in the future.

But those people didn't even let themselves read the excerpts.

Without access to the core of the cabinet, we can only be helpless.

If this continues, he will become a complete idler, worse than serving as Shaoqing in Dali Temple!

"There is no way, after all, sir, your previous official reputation..." Mrs. Song started, but did not go on for fear of not sounding good.

Song Gongwen naturally knew what his wife meant. He had been an official for many years, and except for the early years when he had some positive reputation, the following ten years were all negative.

My former colleagues at Dali Temple secretly used it as a joke from time to time.

When it comes to the cabinet, the situation will of course get worse.

If we say that he was just a fourth-rank official at the beginning, he could not get into the eyes of those cabinet members.

Now that I hang around them every day, without saying anything directly, I am already giving face to my daughter and the status of the father-in-law.

Song Gongwen had nothing to do about this. He couldn't approach those people with his face licked, right?

He is also somewhat arrogant and would find it difficult to do such a thing.

"Actually, it's not like being treated well or anything."

"I don't really care either."

At this time, Song Gongwen looked at his wife and said, "What I am really worried about is Your Majesty."

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Mrs. Song heard this and was a little confused. No matter how good the cabinet was, they still dared to target His Majesty?

"I also read some memorials today, 80% of which are against me joining the cabinet, and the other 20% are to advise Your Majesty to invite Li Fang back. Madam, you should know that officials have been promoted to seven levels in a row.

Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty more than 120 years ago, there have been very few."

"And these memorials will eventually be presented to His Majesty. It can be imagined that His Majesty will face a lot of pressure in promoting me."

"I'm worried that if I never achieve political achievements and the officials keep reporting, I will fail His Majesty's trust."

As he said this, Song Gongwen couldn't help but think of what Wang Jin had said to him a few days ago.

He said that His Majesty has high hopes for him and he will definitely be qualified for the position of Second Assistant.

But now that he has just taken office, he is being squeezed everywhere.

It might be nothing at first.

His Majesty Qiangang is arbitrary, but he can still suppress it.

But in the long run, he has not made any political achievements.

At that time, the officials will definitely work harder. Can Your Majesty still hold on?

Song Gongwen felt that it would be nothing more than being directly impeached and removed from power, and then his career would come to an end.

But Your Majesty, despite all the efforts to promote himself, has done nothing, he will betray His Majesty's trust and greatly damage His Majesty's majesty. At that time, he will not be blamed for any death.

Mrs. Song quickly realized what the other party was worried about, and immediately said: "Then... Master, what should we do?"

What she cares about is not that her husband has failed His Majesty, but that she is afraid that the matter will involve her daughter in the palace.

Even if you are a queen in the middle palace, whether you live well or not depends entirely on your majesty's attitude.

"There's nothing I can do now, if it's really going to get to that point soon."

"Even if I show my old face, I still have to maintain a foothold in the cabinet."

Song Gongwen sighed and said this.

No matter what, I must not let down His Majesty's expectations.

"That's all we can do." Mrs. Song was helpless, and then she seemed to think of something again, and continued: "By the way, sir, did you see the Grand Tutor in the cabinet today? I heard that he came to the palace today.

Is it because of you that I became a saint?"

"No, the Grand Master has not been in the cabinet all day today." Song Gongwen said casually, but his expression soon became startled.

Wait! Taifu?

The Taifu is the chief minister of the cabinet.

He also had unparalleled prestige in the court.

Almost everyone among the cabinet members regarded Taifu as his leader.

What if I could somehow convince Tai Fu to appreciate me... and support me...

That means that not only can I gain a firm foothold in the cabinet, but I can also better display my ambitions!

Yes, that’s it!

Song Gongwen suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

You don't just have the ability to do something, you also need someone to support you.

Now, His Majesty undoubtedly supports him.

So the next step is to find a way to gain the support of the Grand Tutor, so that we can develop our ambitions and really start to do things.

"Hahaha! Thank you madam, you are really my lucky star!" Song Gongwen's eyes were excited, and then he turned and went to the study room to take out the "Great Wei Anguo Policy" that he had completed in the past few days.

Then he came to the lobby, gave Mrs. Song a big hug, and ran out without even putting on a coat.

"Master, what are you doing? You're not going to eat. It's still snowing outside!"

Mrs. Song was confused, not knowing why her husband suddenly went crazy.

Especially when it's snowing heavily outside.

Since the other party hadn't put on his coat yet, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
