Chapter 297: Statement

Everyone looked at Wei Yu quietly, wondering whether he would agree or oppose.

Emperor Jingning also looked at Wei Yu, waiting for him to speak.

Wei Yu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Huang said makes sense. Princess Yinghua has amazing talent in agriculture and is indeed suitable for a position in the Sinong Temple."

As early as when he learned that potatoes had achieved mass production, Wei Yu had already gone to find out about the situation.

When the potatoes matured, some were kept as seeds, some were transported to areas with more hungry people, and the rest were stockpiled for emergency use.

The number of hungry people has been greatly reduced this year, and the promotion of potatoes has given many local officials hope.

Shen Huazheng has made great contributions, and based on this alone, she is fully qualified to enter the court.

Wei Yu paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, all virtuous and wise people have been able to serve as officials in the court. Princess Yinghua is talented, and what she does can benefit the people. I think that the identity of a woman should not be an obstacle for Princess Yinghua to serve the country. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Censor Li.

These people from the Censorate jumped so high that if you didn't know, you would think their tails had been stepped on.

Normally, they seem to be good at speaking, but today, I don’t know if they know they are in the wrong or they have run out of words.

Over and over again, it's all the same thing.

The left sentence says “it goes against the ancestral system” and the right sentence says “there is no precedent”.

There's nothing else to say, it's really boring.

Emperor Jingning looked at Wei Yu and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"My dear, what you said is very true."

Seeing Wei Yu also standing on Shen Huazheng's side, Censor Li was so angry that his face turned blue.

Normally, the Minister of Personnel is always taciturn, but I didn't know he was so good at confusing right and wrong.

When did they stop Lady Yinghua from serving the country?

Doesn't Princess Yinghua have to serve the country unless she becomes an official in the court?

There is no conflict between the two.

Li Yushi: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to convince the public to allow women to serve as officials. Moreover, what Grand Tutor Zhou and Lord Wei said is unreasonable. Princess Yinghua is a citizen of Daliang, and she is loved by your Majesty and has become the head of a county. She should do her best to make Daliang a better place."

Prince An rolled his eyes. It seemed that this was an attempt to make Lady Yinghua work for free without any salary.

It was obvious that Princess Yinghua obtained the title of Princess and the fiefdom thanks to those precious food recipes.

Why did Censor Li say that after getting the position of county princess, she had to work diligently for the country?

When it comes to confusing right and wrong, the people in the Censorate are the best.

These old guys are even more shameless than him.

Emperor Jingning: "Oh? Then what do you think, my dear ministers?"

Lord Jiang: "Your Majesty, Princess Yinghua is as smart and knowledgeable as a man. I think her status as a woman should not be used as a reason to refuse her entry into the government."

As expected of Old Man Zhou’s granddaughter, Princess Yinghua is truly amazing.

But in just a short period of time, they were given so many surprises.

The reason he spoke this time was not because of the long-term friendship between him and Grand Tutor Zhou.

Of course it’s not because of the delicious food.

He just did it for Daliang.

As Your Majesty said, they should not let Daliang lose such a talented person just because Shen Huazheng is a woman.

"Your Majesty, I also think that what Lord Huang said makes sense. Princess Yinghua's entry into the government is truly a good thing that benefits the country and the people."

General Xie: "Your Majesty, I also think what Mr. Huang said makes sense."

As soon as he said this, the generals over there also echoed him.

"Your Majesty, I second the motion."

"Your Majesty, I second the motion."

The Minister of War, Lord Song, also spoke up: "Your Majesty, I also agree with the opinions of the others."

The Minister of Rites, Mr. Cai, also echoed, "Your Majesty, I second the motion."

The Minister of Works, Lord Xiao, also stood up, and everyone thought he was there to agree.

After all, His Majesty obviously wants Princess Yinghua to enter the officialdom. Not to mention Grand Tutor Zhou and Lord Shen, Lord Jiang also supports Princess Yinghua.

There are other people. Now among the six ministries, there are already the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War to support Shen Huazheng.

With the addition of those military generals, the situation became one-sided.

At this time, some people who were still reluctant in their hearts did not dare to speak. Lord Xiao had always been cautious and never took sides.

It is even more impossible for him to offend Grand Tutor Zhou, Lord Jiang and others.

"Your Majesty, I object!"

Lord Xiao's words caught the ministers off guard, and they all stood there in a daze.

He never offends anyone, so why would he stand up and sing a different tune at this time?

What is going on?

Censor Li was excited. It was great that someone was finally willing to stand up at this time.

He knew that there would definitely be someone who would stand up and stand on the same front with them.

Emperor Jingning narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Why do you object, my dear minister?"

Lord Huang frowned slightly. When Lord Xiao first learned about the greenhouse, he went to see it specially.

At that time, he clearly looked left and right, asked questions left and right, and later he praised County Lady Yinghua highly.

What is he standing against now?

Lord Xiao: "Your Majesty, I have also been to the greenhouse to see it. It is really ingenious. Princess Yinghua was able to use bronze mirrors to bring sunlight into the greenhouse so that the vegetables can get enough light. I really admire her."

Emperor Jingning: ???

Ministers: ???

Is Lord Xiao praising County Lady Yinghua?

But didn’t he object just now?

Lord Xiao continued, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, if Princess Yinghua were to work at the Sino-Agricultural Temple, it would be a waste of her talent. She should come to the Ministry of Works."

Given County Lady Yinghua's talent, the Ministry of Works is the most suitable place for her.

Besides, her cousin Zhou Zeyan is also in the Ministry of Industry. Isn't this fate?

Ministers in the palace: ...

Censor Li and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.

I thought that Lord Xiao was standing up to oppose Princess Yinghua's entry into the court as an official, but who knew that he was here to snatch her from Lord Huang? ?

Is it that he hasn't woken up yet, or is this world crazy?

Emperor Jingning did not expect things to turn out this way, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems to be getting interesting.

Shen Zhaonian and Grand Tutor Zhou were also stunned. They had already prepared for a fight.

Who knew that this person was not here to oppose, but to rob people.

I didn't expect Zheng'er to be so popular.

Lord Huang was so angry that he almost fell over. He stood up and took the lead, fighting those imperial censors again.

Now, with great difficulty, I finally have the opportunity to recruit Lady Yinghua as my subordinate.

This guy is so good. He didn't say a word when he was fighting the censor just now, but now he comes out to pick his fruits.

Do you still have any shame?? ! !

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to Lord Xiao's words. Princess Yinghua should come to Sinong Temple!"

"His Majesty……"

Lord Xiao wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Emperor Jingning.

"Okay, now we need to discuss whether Princess Yinghua can serve as an official in the imperial court. As for which department she should go to, we'll talk about it later."

Lord Huang and Lord Xiao fell silent at the same time and exchanged glances.

Your Majesty is right. We must unite and face the outside world at this time.

Let’s first settle the matter of Princess Yinghua entering the officialdom.
