Chapter 126 Countermeasures



The tea in his hand no longer smelled good. Couldn't this girl be more motivated? She would only do things if he put them in front of her.

Want to just ignore these things? He finally has some free time, and this girl wants to quit?

He was very satisfied with the memorials handled by his daughter during this period, which was much better than Fusu.

Ever since he got the globe, he would look at it several times every day. There were still so many lands outside waiting for him to conquer. He could hand over the affairs of the court to his daughter as soon as possible, as he was not at ease handing them over to other people.

This girl is just a little lazy, but he is very satisfied with her in other aspects.

Ever since Zhao Qingrui had the news spread that women could also take the examination to become officials, it has sparked countless heated discussions.

Of course, there are also many who oppose it.

There are also many women who are eager to try, thinking that they are no worse than men and want to give it a try.

The status of women in Daqin was not low, which was why the order issued by Zhao Qingrui was not opposed by everyone.

"Meng Yu, do you want to give it a try?" Wang Xian looked at Meng Yu while reading the article in his hand.

"I'm not going. I think it's quite interesting to review the court bulletin here. What about you?" Meng Yu shook her head. She was a quiet person. After coming to work at the court bulletin, she fell in love with this place.

"I want to give it a try. Otherwise, my father always wants to find a date for me, and I don't want to get married now." Wang Xian sighed.

"Then you have to work hard. There will definitely be a lot of people participating this time." Meng Yu encouraged her seriously and cheered her on sincerely.

"I'm already studying, and my grandfather supports me." Wang Xian laughed.

Although her parents wanted her to get married early, her great-grandfather supported her and allowed her to pursue what she wanted to do.

The grandfather has the final say in the family, and her parents have now kept their mouths shut.

"My cousin is also clamoring to take the exam. You don't know, my uncle wants him to be a general. Now he wants to go for the exam, and my uncle almost chased him with a bamboo stick to beat him." Talking about the funny things at home, Wang Xian covered his mouth and laughed.

"Is it Wang Yuan?" Meng Yu also laughed. Wucheng Hou Wang Jian retired early and kept an eye on the younger generations in his family every day, asking them to work hard and make progress. Wang Jian's family would be in chaos every few days, and it was so lively.

"Yes, Grandpa was also saying that maybe he pushed them too hard, causing them to develop a rebellious mentality." Wang Xian laughed, "I think this kid has set his eyes on the delicious food at His Highness's place."

"Your Highness will probably be criticized again these days." Meng Yu said helplessly, thinking about what happened during this period.

Xianyang has never been peaceful since the little princess returned.

Of course, she thinks this is a good thing. Xianyang is so lively now, and she likes this kind of life.

"Mr. Xie and the others are not worried at all. I don't think there is anything to worry about. Her Highness can handle it, and there is also His Majesty. Will His Majesty allow those people to bully her?" Wang Xian was not worried at all.

Judging from the way His Majesty dotes on the little princess, it will be difficult for those troublemakers to stop in the end.

"I just feel a little worried when I see those people making more and more trouble." Meng Yu put down the article he was reading, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Is it a big deal? Only the Confucianists are making a big fuss. The other schools of thought are all studying with the Miscellaneous School. My father and others in the court haven't said anything, and Lord Feng and others have stayed indoors. It's obvious that they don't object." Although Wang Xian was in charge of the review matters here, he was still quite sensitive to the affairs of the court.

Wang Xian's words made Meng Yu pause. It was indeed true. Meng Yi basically stayed indoors during this period. He just read books at home or went to the palace for business.

There are many people who want to visit my house these days, but I won’t see them at home.

In the court, people from factions like Feng Xiang and Li Xiang were quiet, and only the Confucians were making a lot of noise.

On the other side, at Chunyu Yue’s mansion.

At this moment, a group of people were sitting there solemnly. These people were the ones who had previously knelt in the Qilin Hall and asked the First Emperor to revoke his decision.

Chunyu Yue sat at the top. Although he was now reflecting on his mistakes at home, his status among these Confucian scholars was still relatively high.

The most important thing is that Prince Fusu did not really ignore him. Thanks to Prince Fusu, he did not completely lose his power.

"Lord Chunyu, what should we do now? His Majesty listens to the little princess and lets her handle all the political affairs. This is too much." Zhou Yan said coldly.

"You all went to make direct remonstrations, but His Majesty didn't see you. His Majesty has completely trusted the little princess. Everything you did was in vain." Chunyu Yue said lightly. Now he thought of him. When he was punished by His Majesty before, they all hid faster than anyone else.

Of course, this is not the time to turn your back on them. These people are still useful and their interests are connected.

"Doctor Chunyu, do you have any good ideas? This won't work. Judging from the way His Majesty looks, he seems to be planning to appoint a crown prince." A doctor said anxiously. If a crown prince is really appointed, the lives of those who are not favored by His Majesty and are against the little princess will definitely be even more difficult.

"Prince Fusu is no longer in Xianyang. We can only try to minimize the princess's influence and promote Prince Fusu. Tomorrow, you will submit a memorial to His Majesty, urging him to follow the ancestral system and revoke the little princess's rights. Even if she receives the title of Imperial Counselor, she is still His Majesty's princess, but that doesn't mean she can be stripped of the responsibilities of so many officials, let alone the right to directly make decisions on state affairs." Chunyu Yue looked at these people coldly. If they couldn't even handle a small matter, what good were they!?

"Your Majesty, can you agree to this? I don't want to revise the book." One of them hesitated.

They saw how Wang Shourong and his friends were living during this period, but they had no way to do anything about it.

Revising the book is of great significance and is indeed a great achievement, but they don't want to live a life where there is endless work to do every day and their presence in the court is constantly marginalized.

This person's words made those who were talking suddenly quiet down. When they followed him to the Qilin Hall and knelt there, many people were worried that His Majesty would punish them by making them accompany Wang Shourong and the others.

They can persist because they believe that the law does not punish the masses.

The little princess was not an easy person to deal with, and they were a little unsure about how to deal with her.

Zhao Qingrui didn't know that in the eyes of these people, she was being avoided like the plague.

"I don't want to be a book editor either. I feel quite comfortable being a doctor." Someone immediately agreed and some even wanted to quit.

The actions of these people made Zhou Yan and Chunyu Yue, who were sitting at the top, look gloomy.
