Chapter 310: Small ability, big temper
Su Lingxi was suspended from her job, and Su Bowen and Zhao Wanyue were naturally distressed.
Su Changhe was even more angry. He said angrily: "What does the emperor mean? The shop of the girls' school did make a lot of money, but my sister didn't take a penny back. She invested all the money in the school. Why didn't you say that my sister's behavior was inappropriate when collecting taxes?"
Su Bowen said in a deep voice: "Changhe, don't talk nonsense!"
They all knew that Su Lingxi was wronged, but as a minister, you can't criticize the monarch.
Su Lingxi acted nonchalant. She said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me. This is a good thing. I can finally rest at home for a few days. I haven't been at home properly since I opened the girls' school."
Zhao Wanyue also followed up with the conversation and said: "Lingxi is right. It doesn't matter if you don't work as an official. Your parents can support you!"
Su Xiaoxiao, who was always quick-talking, said nothing. This matter was not hidden from her, and she couldn't hide it.
Su Lingxi soothed her kindly: "Xiaoxiao, don't you like your sister to accompany you? From today on, your sister will be free to accompany you, you should be happy."
Su Xiaoxiao tried hard to force a smile, but she thought bitterly in her heart: [The old emperor is really hopeless, he deserves to be killed by Gu Huaizhi at the beginning. I thought that after getting rid of so many treacherous ministers for him, he should know that as long as I am here, even if he does nothing, he can sit on the dragon throne steadily.
He said he knew, he suspected his father and then suspected his sister. He knew that his sister had never benefited from the women's school, but he still wanted to imprison her. If it weren't for Brother Kang and Brother Crown Prince, my sister would have been in the Dali Temple now. This tyrant is really mad at me. I think his time as emperor is over! 】
Now, everyone, including Su Changhe, was stunned. Oh my god, what kind of lewd words are these? If the emperor could hear them, the Su family would have to confiscate their property and exterminate their clan.
However, Xiaoxiao said that the emperor knew that Lingxi did not benefit from the girls' school, but he still planned to imprison her. This was really infuriating.
The emperor was really good at crossing the river and destroying the bridge. He relied on the things from Su Lingxi's girls' school to break into Dongling with Li Yunshu and turned Dongling into a pot of porridge. Wuxia estimated that Dashuo would set his sights on Su Lingxi in a blink of an eye.
Su Bowen wanted to confirm it again, so he deliberately said: "I think it was those aristocratic families who jointly impeached you, and the emperor couldn't just sit back and watch, so he had to suspend you from your post. After finding out the truth, he will definitely clear your name.
As for those aristocratic families, you have touched their vital interests, and the grudge has been formed. I'm afraid they will use bad tricks in the future. You have to be more careful in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao sighed and thought: [When the emperor clears my sister's name, how could he not know that my sister is innocent? He has placed so many secret guards around my sister. Isn't it because he is afraid that my sister will be loyal to the eldest princess and will be detrimental to him? The emperor knows better than anyone that my sister is not corrupt.
Therefore, this girls' school has been able to operate until now. In the past, the students of the girls' school were only in the working class. Now, his sister and the eldest princess want women to participate in the imperial examinations like men. He is afraid that the eldest princess not only wants a female official, but also wants to have the final say. 】
It is understandable that the emperor would arrange spies in Su Lingxi.
But he doubts the eldest princess. Is this too suspicious? She is his own sister who worked hard to assist him in ascending the throne.
The emperor's pattern is really a little narrow.
I wonder what the eldest princess would think when she knew about this!
"Your Majesty, how do you want me to feel about your actions? This girls' school has solved the livelihood problems of so many low-income families and increased so much tax revenue for Dashuo. Even in quelling the plague, they have made an indelible contribution. Your Majesty, by treating Su Lingxi this way, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people of the world?" The eldest princess stood in front of the emperor and said angrily.
Facing the princess's merciless accusation, the emperor was furious, but still said patiently: "Royal sister, what you said is too serious! Those ministers made such a fuss, and they listened to Su Lingxi's position to protect her!" The princess
said mercilessly: "Why did those ministers make such a fuss? It's not that their own business can't be done. Lingxi's pricing is already very conservative. If those ministers were not greedy, most of their things would be sold at several times higher than the market price. Lingxi is just selling normally. They didn't adjust their strategies and production processes in time, but pushed the responsibility to Su Lingxi and the female school. It's ridiculous. What's
even more ridiculous is that the emperor knew that Su Lingxi was charged with a false charge, but she was suspended from her post without hesitation. Su Lingxi was working for me, and everything she did was instructed by me. If Your Majesty wants to punish someone, punish me. "
The Emperor did not give a direct answer, but said sternly: "Sister, I will not punish Su Lingxi, but the matter of the girls' school will end here. I will give you three months to deal with the aftermath. The girls' school will be closed after three months!"
The eldest princess stayed where she was. She did not expect the emperor to say such a thing: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten our original intention? Didn't we agree to create a peaceful and prosperous country?"
The emperor certainly would not forget the eldest princess's original intention. She wanted all women in the world to hold their heads up and live. This was simply a fool's dream.
The emperor was furious and said, "Sister, the harem and the princess are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Have you forgotten your status?"
The eldest princess sighed in her heart. Her brother inherited all the advantages of her father. He was not very capable and was very suspicious. It was not enough that he suspected his ministers, but now he even suspected himself.
The eldest princess bowed slightly and left directly.
It was no longer possible to reason with the emperor now. If he wanted to stop the girls' school, then just stop it. She wanted to see how the emperor would arrange for the female students in the school.
Since the girls' school was closed, the business under the name of the girls' school did not need to be taken care of. This mess was left for the emperor to clean up. After leaving
the palace, the eldest princess did not go back to the princess's mansion directly, but went to the Zhenguogong Mansion.
No matter what, Su Lingxi's experience was caused by herself. She should go and take a look. Besides, there are still some details to explain to Su Lingxi.
With the help of Su Xiaoxiao, the eldest princess gave birth to another little princess. Because of Li Yutang's illness, the eldest princess was still worried, so she threw all her attention on the child. Usually, Su Lingxi went to report to her on the progress of the girl's school every three months.
She was also happy to let go and let the emperor do it himself because the big treacherous villains in the court had been eliminated and the court was stable .
Despite this, the emperor was still worried.
The eldest princess was sad and disappointed.
She was too lazy to care. Since the emperor was so capable, let him jump around on his own.
