"Lord Liu, I'm not kidding. Haven't you been slapped in the face a long time ago? I would like to ask our ministers, who can come up with the curved plow? Who can come up with such a law? Who can think of a solution to drought and locust plagues? Who can come up with the method of 'work-for-relief' to resettle refugees? Can you do it? Isn't this a slap in the face? Being slapped in the face is not scary. What is scary is not having the courage to admit it." Shangshu Ma looked at the opposing ministers coldly and asked them if they had the ability to be like Li Yun.
"Minister Ma is absolutely right. A remarkable woman like Li Yun should be made a county princess. And any minister who objects to this, please stand up and let me see." The emperor looked at the ministers below with disdain and asked them.
"I second the motion! I think Lord Ma is right. Li Yun is indeed worthy of the title of princess." Doctor Zheng said.
"I second the motion!" said the silent Marquis Dingbei. He and Minister Ma both wanted to secure the title of Princess for Li Yun. When he heard Minister Ma's objection, he was puzzled. It turned out they were waiting here. He loved this twist.
"I second the motion!" said the Duke of Zhenguo. He actually felt that something was strange about himself today. When he heard what Li Yun had done, he actually felt a little happy. He didn't understand why he would be happy about a woman he didn't know, and even wanted to meet her in person.
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
Finally, all the ministers in the court seconded the motion. As those who opposed it saw that more and more ministers were seconding the motion, they followed suit in order to avoid being resentful by the emperor or other ministers.
They didn't know that the emperor had already held a grudge against them, and not long after, Prince Jin also held a grudge against them, causing them a lot of trouble.
"Since everyone agrees to confer the title of princess on Li Yun, can you all think of a good title?" the emperor asked the ministers in the court.
"Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable. Why not give him a title?" said Mr. Ma, the Minister of Revenue.
"Okay, let's let Academician Jiang come." The emperor looked at his uncle and said.
"I obey your command! I believe that everything Li Yun does is for the Great Jin Dynasty and its people. She is a blessing from heaven to the Great Jin Dynasty. With her, the Great Jin Dynasty will be at the forefront of the country.
I think the name 'Jia Hui' is the most suitable for her. 'Jia' represents the Emperor's commendation for her contributions.
'Hui' represents wisdom and intelligence, indicating that Li Yun is a woman of wisdom and intelligence, and also a virtuous woman. Jiang Zhongtian gave Jiahui the title and explained the meaning of Jiahui, the last sentence of which was addressed to the emperor.
In fact, the word "慧" has another meaning, which he did not say it to his face. The two "丰" characters represent state affairs and world affairs. This is the most suitable for being a queen, the queen of Prince Jin, because the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince are in the court, and many ministers do not know that Prince Jin likes Li Yun, so he did not say it.
"'Jiahui'? Okay, that's a good name, I like it! Lord Jiang is indeed the best scholar in the Jin Dynasty. Reward, Lord Jiang, a box of gold, silver, and jewelry." The emperor knew his uncle's last words were meant for him, implying that Li Yun would be Fei'er's best wife in the future, helping her run the Jin Dynasty. Delighted, he rewarded his uncle with a box of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Many ministers in the court thought that Jiang Daxueshi was hinting to the emperor to take Li Yun as his concubine. They all loved Jiang Daxueshi in a bad way, thinking that he was a real flatterer.
Only the ministers who knew the inside story knew what Grand Secretary Jiang meant, which was that Li Yun was worthy of being the King of Jin.
"I thank the emperor!" Academician Jiang thanked the emperor.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang!" said a colleague.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang!" said another colleague.
"Congratulations, Lord Jiang!" the ministers said in unison.
"Thank you! Congratulations! Congratulations!" Academician Jiang politely thanked the ministers.
"Are there any other matters at home? If not, please adjourn the court!" The emperor just wanted to go back and share it with the queen, so he asked everyone to adjourn the court.
"We have nothing to say!" the ministers in the court said in unison.
"Adjourn the court!" Eunuch Shen said to adjourn the court after the ministers said there was nothing else to report.
"Your Majesty, we respectfully bid you farewell!" The ministers knelt down to see the emperor off.
The emperor left the court with the respectful farewell of his ministers and went to find the queen.
"My lords, do you know who Li Yun is? Why does my father like her so much?" After the emperor left, the second prince asked the ministers.
"In reply to the Second Prince, we do not know!" said the ministers.
"I don't believe it. You must know the reason." The third prince asked the ministers.
"Third Prince, we really don't know!" said the ministers.
The Second and Third Princes knew they couldn't get anything out of them, so they stopped asking. The ministers fled the court one after another. They were afraid of being questioned by the princes again.
Only the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince were left in the court. They were planning something in their minds. They thought that they would let the guards investigate Li Yun when they returned. They must get Li Yun to help them get the throne.
As a result, undercurrents surged in the capital. Not only did the princes want to monopolize Li Yun, but even the ministers wanted to use him for their own purposes.
Li Yun didn't know what was happening in the capital, and she didn't know that she had become a favorite among the ministers, who all wanted to take a bite of her. She was having a great time in the suburbs of Beijing.
After playing in the suburbs of Beijing for two days, he took his family into the city and went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
The Prince of Jin's Mansion is located to the east of the Imperial Palace, and officials of the third rank and above live here.
The Prince of Jin's Mansion is a quadrangle courtyard, divided into four courtyards: east, south, west, and north. Each courtyard has three entrances and three exits. The first entrance is the front courtyard, used for entertaining guests; the second entrance is the main courtyard, used for dining and work; and the third entrance is the backyard, which is the master's bedroom.
The servants lived in the shawl room, which was a courtyard behind the three courtyards. It was not connected to the three courtyards and was a separate courtyard for the servants to live in.
"The prince is back! I asked someone to boil water for the prince to take a bath and change clothes." The housekeeper of the palace was so happy to see the prince that he almost cried.
It’s great that his prince is still alive. God is so good to the prince.
Although Eunuch Shen came over and said that the prince was still alive and might return home in the next two days, he asked them to clean the palace and be ready for the prince to come back at any time.
"Well, I'm back. Uncle Yang, please arrange for the old man and the others to go to the main house in the third courtyard of Nanyuan. Have someone treat them well and not neglect them. Also have someone take them to the guardhouse and settle them down." Shangguan Feiyun said to Butler Li.
"I obey your command. Your Highness, please go and rest. I will personally take care of the old man." Butler Li assured.
"Madam Li, I will come to find you later." Shangguan Feiyun said to Li Yun.
"Well, you go and rest. I'll wait for you to come over." Li Yun said to Shangguan Feiyun with a smile.
Shangguan Feiyun lived in the main house on the third floor of the East Garden. The South Garden, West Garden and North Garden were always empty. Li Yun and the others lived in the South Garden, which made it more convenient for them to find her.
