Chapter 157 Don’t Eat Melons Randomly
This made the emperor unhappy, and he asked the minister in return: "So you mean to make me give up a genius just for an unnecessary family rule of our ancestors."
"Let the people of the world go hungry and let our Great Viet lose this opportunity to store food and troops."
"You want to use Dai Viet's national destiny to exchange for your Confucianism?"
The man knelt down in fear and said, "I dare not."
"I think you are very brave!"
Someone came out to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, what we mean is that Madam Xu can continue to manage the farmland, but she will not officially serve as an official in the court..."
He spoke these words more and more quietly.
Perhaps I also realized how unreasonable my own language is.
Of course Xu Lanqi was protecting her sister, this was blatant bullying!
"What? Keep talking. You know you are not speaking human language."
"If you don't give them official positions or salaries, you have to make them work."
"You are more powerful than a blood-sucking leech."
The man stiffened his neck and replied, "As a Dai Viet, I should be loyal to my king and love my country, and share the country's worries."
"Every man has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country."
"It is such an honor to serve the country. What if there is no official position or salary?"
"Could it be that the Xu family is disloyal to Dai Viet and is unwilling to make even this small contribution?"
Xu Lanqi was so angry that he almost died.
This is directly using the greater good to pressure people, and if they don't agree, they will be labeled as unfaithful.
But he has been able to sit in the position of Zhongshu Ling for so many years without being pulled down. Do you think he has nothing else to do except for his merits in following the emperor?
He turned around, picked up his tablet, and bowed: "Your Majesty, this man has ulterior motives."
"According to his logic, loyalty to the emperor should be regardless of power and money. It is a blessing for Dai Viet that he has such an understanding."
"Then please, Your Majesty, remove him from his position and make room for someone else."
"I can save some money from my salary, which will be perfect for my younger sister."
The person who was just praising him immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Zhongshuling, you are going too far."
"Your Majesty, that is not what I meant!"
"That's not what I meant. It's what it means to others, but it's not what it means to you."
"Old man, your standards for others and yourself should not be too different."
The two parties were arguing fiercely.
"Having set this precedent, wouldn't it mean that all future women can enter the officialdom?
"It's in, so what if it's in?"
The opponents sneered: "You really don't consider the consequences at all. What about the population of Dai Viet?"
“Who’s going to give birth?”
The Minister of Agriculture retorted, "You are talking as if all women in the world can enter the officialdom. How many men in the country can pass the imperial examinations?"
"Besides, you have more than 20 children. Being an official has no impact on your ability to have children."
"If all the officials were people like Madam Xu, even if they were all added together and didn't rest, there wouldn't be many more people in Daiyue."
"But if they were placed in the right position, they could save many people who would have died of starvation or disease."
"I think it's feasible."
Smart people know what the Minister of Agriculture is planning, bah, old thing.
You want to get promoted.
At this point, everyone has their own story.
The emperor asked Jiang Zhixian to stop their argument, and when everything calmed down, he seemed to take a step back and make a fair decision.
"You both have a point."
"Let's put it this way. It's really too much to directly confer the title of Duke and the post of Minister of Agriculture on Madam Xu."
"I can only let Madam Xu suffer the injustice and accept the title of Marquis for now, and serve as the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture."
Xu Lanqi: ...to be inferior?
Are you using the right words?
I saw that the person who had just opposed had already stepped out, holding up his tablet, and it looked like he wanted to make another report.
The emperor raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"You should stop now. I have already taken a step back. Don't push me too far."
Sure enough, no one was disappointed anymore.
Everyone was very happy, except the Minister of Agriculture, who thought he could be promoted.
The next thing is simple. The Secretariat drafts the edict and the Ministry of Personnel issues it.
Xu Xinshu was granted the title of Marquis of Dingchang and appointed Shaoqing of Sinong Temple.
At the same time, the rumors about her and the emperor were also revealed.
Before this, after the Zhongshu Ling's sister was rescued from the Kong family, she entered the Taiji Palace as a female official.
And this female official was not promoted step by step, but was directly promoted to the fifth rank, which was the highest rank except for the former female official of Yu.
It does not belong to the Liushang Bureau, but is a new position specially created by the emperor.
In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, it is no different from keeping a beautiful girl in a secret house.
Coupled with the various special treatments he gave Xu Xinshu, the love-hate relationship between the two had already gone through several different versions in private.
What is "The Overbearing Emperor's Fugitive Concubine"?
"Shocked, Princess Tianzhen's biological mother is actually her!"
"The King Seized His Minister's Wife, and After Being Divorced, He Exiled His Ex-husband's Family"
Until today, this rumor was finally debunked.
It turned out that because she was a genius of Si Nong, some people were even a little disappointed.
The CP I'm shipping is actually a purely superior-subordinate relationship.
Bei Jingchu was flipping through the system's gossip, with non-existent black lines all over his forehead.
The other two are understandable, but what the hell is that "Shocking, Princess Tianzhen's biological mother is actually her!"?
This story was analyzed with good reason and evidence, saying that her father-in-law and Xu Lanqi grew up together, and he had long had his eyes on the lady from the Xu family, and the two grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
But the battle for the throne was fierce, and he was afraid that his failure would bring trouble to his beloved.
So he kept his love hidden in his heart, but after he ascended the throne, the beauty had already married.
He could only guard her silently and keep the throne for his beloved.
During their encounter, the two expressed their feelings to each other. It turned out that Lady Xu had always loved the emperor, but was too shy to speak out, and thus missed the opportunity.
But the matter was done, the two met secretly and gave birth to the eldest princess.
Your Majesty loves the daughter born to your beloved and treats her like a treasure.
They could have lived like this forever, but the Kong family did not know how to cherish and did not treat the emperor's beloved moonlight well.
So the emperor exiled the Kong family and brought his sweetheart back to the palace.
The author hasn’t written the rest yet.
But Bei Jingchu didn't want to watch it anymore.
That's enough. You really have enough.
So you can't eat melons randomly. These melons have caused great harm to Bei Jingchu's mental health.
To be honest, if the male protagonist in this movie was someone else, Bei Jingchu would believe it and even kowtow to him.
Bei Jingchu wanted to clear her father's name. Her father had only been cheated on, but he had never cheated on anyone else, okay?
Moreover, if you are studying together, you won’t be very familiar with each other’s family. She is not familiar with Nian’er and her cousin’s family.
After reading these things, Bei Jingchu's eyes seemed strange when looking at the emperor these days.
The emperor was frightened.
But her mind was in a mess, full of noise, and she couldn't make out anything.
