"Sigh, why didn't I realize that there were so many things to do in the past?"
Jiang Pengji looked at the official work piled up on her desk and sighed softly. She looked like she had nothing to live for. Her work efficiency was high, but she didn't see it decrease after being busy for so long. The most despairing thing was that she couldn't see the end of these days. She really wanted to overturn them all.
"Nansheng can't be compared to Dongqing. Dongqing has been governed by my lord for so many years and has a set of regulations. Many trivial matters don't bother my lord. However, Nansheng's decade-long war has just ended. Everything is being done everywhere. It's normal for them to be busy …"
After being busy for a while, when Nansheng's post-war construction was on the right track, there would be much less things that needed Jiang Pengji's personal instructions.
Wei Ci patiently comforted her with a faint smile on his lips. Just looking at him made her feel like her mood was improving.
Jiang Pengji was just complaining. She stopped after a few words. "It's fine if you're busy, but you keep taking up my time alone with Zixiao. That's what makes me angry. I 'tricked' Shaoyin into giving me this time. "
Wei Ci's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard that.
Even though Lu Zheng had just joined, he seemed to have been infected by Yang Si and the rest. He had a terrible obsession with the young lord who was nowhere to be found.
Jiang Pengji was also clever. She used the "young lord" as a shield and tricked Lu Zheng into taking care of many trivial matters.
If Lu Zheng and the rest knew that their lord had been using contraception and that it was impossible to have a "young lord," they might vomit blood out of anger.
"Don't let Shaoyin hear this. If he hears it, he'll go all out and fight you."
Yang Si and the rest were loyal to Jiang Pengji, but Jiang Pengji was merciless when it came to tricking them.
Wei Ci, who was familiar with the inside story, watched their interaction. He often felt guilty as if he was helping a tyrant do evil.
Jiang Pengji smiled. "I'm a very cautious person. Zixiao, you still don't believe me?"
Wei Ci was speechless.
How was this something to be proud of?
Believe it or not, Yang Sifeng and the rest would cry in front of her.
"Eh? This Mi Qu is really something, she actually managed to get Jing Rong and Zi Shi to put in a good word for her. You should know that those two are the most difficult to deal with and also the hardest to please. "Jiang Pengji read and read and saw the message Yang Si sent over.
Not only was there a work report, but there were also praises for Mi Yu. Besides Yang Si, Feng Zhen had also put in a good word for Mi Yu.
Not only did they affirm Mi Yu's character and talent, they also affirmed her ability.
These two were not people who were easy to get along with. It was extremely difficult for an outsider to grasp their pulse, let alone curry favor with them.
It was rare for them to take the initiative to speak up for someone.
Jiang Pengji had known them for so many years. She could count on five hands the number of people who had the ability to make them like her to the max.
Wei Ci said, "This is not an accident."
Back in her previous life, when Mi Ke was in the bureaucracy, she was hated by many. Even though no one dared to speak against her openly, there were definitely many people who cursed her to die in secret. She was hated and cursed by so many people, yet she could still live peacefully. How could she do that without some ability?
With her abilities, it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined to increase Gao Yangsi and Feng Zhen's favorability.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "I have even more expectations for her. I hope she won't disappoint me."
Wei Ci said, "My lord means …"
He frowned slightly, realizing that something was not quite right.
Listening to what his lord meant, she wanted to promote Mi Yu to a higher position?
Thinking of this, Wei Ci did not quite agree.
According to Mi Yu's ability, she could use facts to convince everyone. It was only a matter of time before she reached the height of her previous life.
His lord seemed to want to spoil things by pushing them from behind. Wouldn't this have the opposite effect?
"We have Nongqin in the military, but we still lack one in the civil field," Jiang Pengji said, "I lack a woman like Mi Yu. She appeared at the right time."
There was no lack of outstanding women around her, but these women were seriously biased towards subjects.
The female generals, led by Jiang Nongqin, had barely managed to gain a foothold, but the civil field had yet to be developed.
Wei Ci said, "Isn't there a lady from the Wei family?"
He reminded his lord that Wei Jingxian had followed her husband Feng Jin and helped her for many years. She could not forget her just because her presence was low.
Jiang Pengji said, "It's not that I haven't considered Jingxian, but her temperament is on the soft side. She's not aggressive and doesn't have enough ambition."
"Bai Yuexia is not bad either."
Jiang Pengji said, "Her? I have special arrangements for her. She just needs to be engrossed in her studies and not get involved in those messy fights. "
Wei Jingxian was not bad, but her temperament and family background meant that she was more inclined to be conservative. Without ambition, how could she have the motivation to advance? Without aggressiveness, how could she demonstrate to the enemy and show her strength? If she couldn't do that, then she was not the person she wanted.
Bai Yuexia was not bad either. According to Wei Ci, her future achievements would not be low.
However, there were specializations in different fields. Bai Yuexia was from the Mohists, so her battlefield was not the court.
Jiang Pengji also did not want Bai Yuexia to focus on that.
What she needed was a benchmark so that the world could look at the achievements and status that women could achieve in the political arena through this benchmark.
Jiang Nongqin was a martial artist, Wei Jingxian was too gentle, Bai Yuexia was partial to subjects … As for the others, they either lacked experience or talent. They could not become the most important chess pieces in Jiang Pengji's hands. Just when she was at her wits' end, Mi Qu appeared.
Even if Mi Qu looked harmless, Jiang Pengji could see that her eyes were filled with desire and ambition for power.
What was more precious was that Mi Qu had the ability to match her ambition.
The timing of Mi Qu's appearance was just right.
Therefore, Jiang Pengji planned to set Mi Qu as an important benchmark for women in the court. The women of the world would look up to her.
Only when the civil and military complemented each other can they truly stand firm in the court.
With them, the world would not look down on women as they used to.
Wei Ci understood Jiang Pengji's intention after thinking for a while.
"In that case, Mi Qu is indeed the most suitable candidate."
Jiang Pengji said to Wei Ci honestly, "I think so, but whether or not she can grasp the opportunity depends on Mi Qu herself. If she can be supported, I will naturally work hard to cultivate her. If she is a useless person who can't be supported, I will not force her … "
After all, supporting an unworthy benchmark would not only be unsatisfactory, but it would also easily lead to a backlash.
Wei Ci said, "My lord's plans are far-reaching. You will definitely achieve what you want."
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Zixiao's words are still so in line with my thoughts."
Because Jiang Pengji was obsessed with work, the idle people expressed that the content of the recent livestream was a little boring and they were a little tired of watching it.
Fortunately, the idle people still had a fountain of happiness — Dream of a Thousand Years of Luck.
