After leaving Funing Palace, Lei Yungong did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately rushed out of the palace.
In the past dynasties, palace restrictions were far more stringent than later generations thought. The palace in the Northern Song Dynasty was locked up probably at Youshi (5-6 o'clock).
Once the palace door is locked, it will never be opened easily unless there is an urgent military situation.
Although Lei Yungong has a house in Beijing, he does not dare to stay outside the palace at will to celebrate the New Year.
After all, the official family is still waiting for him in the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Lei Yungong kept trying to figure out the official's thoughts.
What does officialdom mean?
How should the camera make a decision?
After a long while, Lei Yungong rubbed his eyebrows. It became more and more difficult to guess the thoughts of the officials, but it was not so difficult to guess the thoughts of the Queen Mother.
But he had to guess.
The situation in the palace now is very different from that at the beginning of the year.
Who among the chamberlains above the rank of escort does not know the Queen Mother’s wishes?
Based on the attitude shown by the Queen Mother now, there is no doubt that the Queen Mother has slowly begun to develop the ability to handle government affairs.
The two palaces standing side by side are a thing of the past.
The official family was the king of the Song Dynasty!
This is true whether it is now or in the future.
After thinking about it, the ox cart stopped in front of a courtyard in Dongcheng. This courtyard was one of Lei Yungong's private properties.
Well.
It was given to him by Ding Wei.
"Daddy, the place has arrived."
Lei Jinzhong's voice reached Lei Yungong's ears through the car curtain. When the car stopped, he quickly put the seats in place to get out of the car.
Immediately, Lei Yungong opened the car curtain and stepped out of the car with the help of his adopted son, although he was not yet old enough to need help.
But this is a card issue and it is inevitable.
"You go ahead and pick me up in a quarter of an hour."
"yes."
Lei Jinzhong nodded obediently, then took a step forward and gently knocked on the door of the small courtyard.
After a while, he heard footsteps coming from behind the door, and he quickly took a few steps back. When the courtyard door opened and he could see the person clearly, he bowed to Lei Yun respectfully.
"Daddy, I'm leaving first."
"Um."
Lei Yungong nodded calmly, and then glanced at Dingji casually.
"lead the way!"
"Lei Abban, please!"
Dingji immediately gave him a flattering smile. The Lei Abban in front of him was a popular man in the palace and a great hero.
During the Tianxi Year, if it had not been for Reabban's astuteness, I don't know if the queen in the palace would have been able to secure the position of queen.
Therefore, since the Queen Mother came to power, she has been very kind to Reabban. Otherwise, Reabban would not have been honored as Abban at his current age.
Squeaky.
The gate was closed, and Reabban, led by Dingji, passed through two arches and arrived at the backyard.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Lei Yungong saw Ding Wei standing on the bluestone road in front of him. Ding Wei smiled and cupped his hands in a very friendly manner.
"Lei Abban, long time no see."
The moment he saw Ding Wei, Lei Yungong was stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses and greeted him with a humble face.
"Xiang Ding, you are really trying to offend me. I am just a minister. How dare you let the prime minister greet you from afar?"
"Why should you and I be so polite?"
Ding Wei smiled heartily and waved his hand indifferently.
Immediately, I saw him holding Lei Yungong's arm and walking straight to the small pavilion in the backyard.
Although the courtyard here covers a small area, only about one acre, there is something else inside, including rockeries, ponds, and pavilions.
It's just that it's winter now, so the place for the two to meet is naturally not outdoors, but the greenhouse in the backyard.
Inside the Nuan Pavilion.
After the two sat down, Ding Wei personally poured a cup of tea for Lei Yungong without any pretense of being the prime minister.
A man is capable of bending and stretching. When it is time to put on airs, Ding Wei puts on a bigger show than anyone else, but when it is time to be humble, he is more humble than anyone else.
In fact, there is another important reason why his posture is so low.
According to reports from informants in the palace, the officials seemed to favor Lei Yungong.
Being able to be recognized by the Queen Mother and officials one after another, a well-known hat will definitely be indispensable in the future.
In addition, Lei Yungong's age is also a great advantage.
If Lei Yungong doesn't make a big mistake, he won't do too badly as long as the official is in power.
Of course, corruption and the like are not big mistakes in Ding Wei's eyes. Big mistakes in his eyes refer to mistakes involving important affairs of the country.
For example, like Zhou Huaizheng. (Establish the crown prince, depose the queen, and make Zhenzong the supreme emperor)
"It's not my fault that I have to bother escorting the guards out of the palace today."
Before the conversation officially started, Ding Wei first expressed his apology to Lei Yungong.
If other people saw Ding Wei's current posture, they would probably be shocked. The prime minister actually apologized to a eunuch?
Face, do you still want it?
Fortunately, there were only two people, Lei Yungong and Ding Wei, in the Nuan Pavilion at this time. Even Ding Wei's relative Ding Ji was kicked out of the Nuan Pavilion.
"Master Prime Minister, why do you do this?"
Lei Yungong shook his head repeatedly: "As the Prime Minister just said, why do you and I need to be so clearly distinguished?"
Although these words were very intimate, Lei Yungong had a different expression on his face, one of humility and a bit of pride.
Of course, he was pretending to show it to Ding Wei.
If it weren't for the official's oral instructions, he would definitely not have left the palace.
Lei Yungong knows very well who is the big one!
On the other side, noticing Lei Yungong's proud expression, Ding Wei felt slightly angry in his heart, but his face was still filled with a spring-breathing smile.
"It should be so."
"well."
As he spoke, Ding Wei sighed.
"Today, the palace suddenly issued an edict. Wang Shenzheng was appointed as the Prime Minister of Jixian, and Lu Longtu was appointed as Shenzheng."
Before Yuanfeng's reform, adding "Tongping Zhangshi" meant he was the prime minister, and there could be at most three prime ministers.
In order to distinguish the ranks of the prime ministers, the titles of "Grand Scholar of Zhaowen Palace", "Grand Scholar of Supervisor of National History", and "Grand Scholar of Jixian Palace" will be added in sequence.
If there are two prime ministers, the prime minister will have the title of "Grand Scholar of Zhaowen Hall and Supervisor of National History", and the second prime minister will have the title of "Grand Scholar of Jixian Hall".
If there are three prime ministers, the first prime minister and the second prime minister, the three prime ministers in order are the bachelor of Zhaowen Palace, the supervisor of the history of the country, and the bachelor of Jixian Palace.
At this time, there were only two prime ministers, so Ding called the king Zeng the "Jixian Prime Minister".
"How can the supervisor teach me about this matter?"
Lei Yungong glanced at Ding Wei thoughtfully, and then pretended to think deeply.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
"Prime Minister, this matter was decided personally by the officials and the eldest lady. I am just a minister, how dare I say anything at will?"
"Yeah."
Ding Wei smiled apologetically: "It's better to think carefully."
Although he said he was sorry, Ding Wei felt mixed feelings in his heart.
The answer, he already got.
However, this answer was not the one he wanted to see.
Lei Yungong's original words were, "The official family and the eldest lady came to an agreement in person." Among them, the official family came first and the eldest lady came last.
It seems that today's edict is mainly meant by officials.
