The emperor naturally noticed the looks the courtiers were giving him.
He looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think that Shi Qingluo, who donated high-yield grain seeds twice so that the people could have enough food in the future, and donated iron smelting, glass recipes, and canning recipes to make the national treasury more abundant, is not worthy of being named a county lord?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Xi stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Madam Shi has made so many contributions to Daliang. She deserves to be named a princess."
Even if it wasn't because of his grandson, he felt that it was nothing for Shi Qingluo to be conferred the title of a princess.
What's more, their family became famous because of rubber and made a lot of money.
Mr. Liang also stood up immediately, "Your Majesty is wise, and I also think that the title of Princess to Madam Shi is well deserved."
"In the future, if anyone can have the same abilities and contributions as my wife, I believe the emperor will give the same honor to them."
He said this just to bet on others. It is likely that there is no other Shi Qingluo in the whole Daliang.
Mr. Fei also said, "I second the motion."
"This goose found these potatoes, so you made him the Goose King and gave him a golden medal of immunity from death. I think your Majesty is wise."
I really don't know why these people are still staring at a big goose.
Giving a goose a golden medal of immunity from death, who does this bother?
This time even Mr. Qi stood up and said, "I second the motion!"
With a few old men expressing their opinions, most of the court officials stood up and said, "I second the motion!"
Shi Qingluo's contributions are indelible, so it's nothing to confer the title of a princess on her.
It's better than directly attributing the credit to Xiao Hanzheng and conferring him a title.
Besides, it was just a goose. Even if he was the Goose King granted by the Emperor, what would it matter if he had a golden medal of immunity from death? Who would kill a goose for nothing? Now they could not see the Emperor's attitude. He was clearly trying to support Shi Qingluo.
This time, even the Crown Prince, who usually rarely expressed his opinion, spoke up: "I also think that conferring the title of Princess to Shi Qingluo and bestowing the title of Goose King on the Goose are well deserved. Father is wise!"
When the other princes heard this, they secretly cursed the prince for being shameless. Not only did he flatter the emperor, but he also won Shi Qingluo's favor.
So they all stood up and said similar things.
The emperor looked at the majority of the court officials who seconded the motion, and only then did a look of satisfaction appear in his eyes.
He looked at the minister who had just been scolded by Shi Qingluo, "Shi Qingluo's contributions are much greater than yours. She is a princess appointed by me. You accused and scolded her in public. Are you dissatisfied with me?"
The minister immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not."
"You don't dare, but you don't know how to curse in your heart."
"Princess Fubao is a first-rank princess, and you are only a third-rank princess. You actually committed insubordination in public. This is really outrageous."
"In your current position, I haven't seen you do much for the benefit of the court and the people. You don't need to be an official anymore."
Then he ordered people to take off the man's black hat and drive him out of the palace immediately.
This person has been bribed by the remnants of the previous dynasty. The person on the list given by Zhuo Jun was also verified to be true by his people.
And this person now holds a very important position in the Ministry of Personnel.
The emperor was still thinking about how to get rid of this person without arousing suspicion from the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Who would have thought that Shi Qingluo was so helpful and directly handed him a knife.
He is indeed his lucky general.
The minister didn't expect that he would lose his official position just because he questioned Shi Qingluo.
He regretted it so much that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Shi Qingluo even deliberately said: "You only know how to beg for mercy now, which shows how disrespectful you are to Your Majesty in your heart."
"It is also the Emperor's mercy, otherwise you would have been thrown into prison. Now that you can be a commoner, you should thank him as soon as possible."
Minister: “…” Shut up and behave yourself.
Do you really think he has no temper? When this man heard the emperor's words, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
It turned out that the emperor actually knew what his family members had done behind his back. He immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
If the emperor investigates the matter, his family will be in trouble.
The emperor waved his hand, and immediately the guards came forward and dragged the man away.
He looked at the other person's limp appearance and sneered in his heart, thinking he could escape? Wishful thinking.
He kept a lot of accounts for them.
He colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty. Once sufficient evidence is collected in the future, being exiled to a remote frontier would be the least he could do.
This man was dragged away, and the ministers who had previously targeted Shi Qingluo seemed to have suddenly become speechless. They silently returned to their seats and sat down without saying anything.
It seems that they still underestimated the emperor's appreciation and favor for Shi Qingluo.
She openly showed some insults, and the emperor actually stripped a third-rank minister of his official position. This influence was truly extraordinary.
You'd be a fool to mess with her now.
And everyone also saw that Qing Luo was not only eloquent, but also very courageous. If anyone targeted her, she would fight back without hesitation.
The first person to stand out has been killed as a warning to the others, and no one wants to lose their job again now.
The emperor curled his lips and asked the imperial kitchen to serve the dishes.
The emperor took the lead in tasting staple foods and dishes made from potatoes.
It tastes really good and is filling.
This is a great thing for both the court and the people.
There were also many ministers present who were concerned about the country and the people, and they felt deeply moved while eating potatoes.
After the corn is harvested this year, each prefecture will be allocated a large amount of seeds for planting, and then planting potatoes. With potato seeds next year, the people will have two more high-yield grains and can fill their stomachs.
I have to say that Shi Qingluo’s contribution is really great.
Of course, if this was just an ordinary village woman, she could be easily dealt with.
But she is not, so try to make friends with her as much as possible.
Look at the Xi, Liang, and Fei families. They have made a lot of money these days by relying on Shi Qing's ideas.
No wonder he would stand firmly on Shi Qingluo's side.
Liang Youxiao, the second generation ancestor of the Liang family, opened a very successful canning workshop in the south.
Recently, several canning food shops have sprung up in Beijing. The canned fruits shipped from the south are extremely expensive, but as soon as a batch is taken out, they are quickly sold out. The demand is completely insufficient to meet the supply.
They think canned foods like lychees and oranges are delicious, but they are too expensive.
Liang Youxiao also made a lot of money from canned food. This is the benefit of following Shi Qing.
The glass workshop set up by the emperor has recently produced a batch of glass cups and glass mirrors.
The glass cup is crystal clear, and pouring a glass of wine from the Western Regions into it makes people feel noble just by looking at it.
And the glass mirror can actually reflect a person so clearly, it's magical to look at.
The spendthrift women in the family were all clamoring for it, but unfortunately the emperor wouldn't allow it to be sold to outsiders, leaving everyone waiting anxiously.
These were all brought by Shi Qingluo. The golden doll is really not fake.
No, they need to have a good talk with their children at home and get in touch with Shi Qingluo more often.
