To be honest, if someone came to persuade her right now, she would have chased them out. She didn't want to hear a word!
But the Fourth Master had no such intention at all. He spoke directly to her, which made her feel comfortable. After taking a look, she suddenly had an idea: "Fourth Brother, have you ever thought that the court can open an engineering department? It's not just Yue Workshop that needs craftsmen. Doesn't the Ministry of Industry need them too? People with real skills are needed everywhere!"
The two of them hit it off immediately, and the Fourth Master went back to write the memorial.
When the prince came over, Yan Shirui was also there, and the three of them were discussing the "Gezhi Ke" matter intensely.
The examination process is not a big deal, it can generally refer to the Jinshi exam, but how are the questions set? How are the papers graded?
The three of them were discussing heatedly. The prince waited for a moment but failed to get a word in. Reluctantly, he took the memorial written by the Fourth Prince and read it.
Huo Qijing and his companions came in and hunted some rabbits and pheasants.
There were plenty of people around and no big prey, so these were the only ones available. The Dragon Guards immediately washed, peeled the fish and started roasting them. Yan Shiyue rolled up his sleeves and went out to steam buns and cook porridge for everyone.
When the hastily prepared meal was served, the prince could not help but ask, "You guys are going to eat this? And you want Yue Er to cook for you personally? Can't you get a chef to come over?"
Yan Shiyue glared at him and said, "Your father scolded me, my father doesn't like me anymore, I'm going to starve his daughter to death!" He took a bite of the steamed bun angrily.
...
...
Prince: “…”
Not to mention the confusing names here, just this reaction... he really has a lot to complain about.
The next day, at the morning court, the Grand Historian of the Imperial Observatory submitted a memorial, saying that after observing the stars at night, he found that the auxiliary star was invading the North Star, and the celestial phenomenon was a warning that the country was in trouble.
As soon as this memorial was submitted, the whole room fell silent.
You know, Beichen is Ziwei, which has been the symbol of the emperor since ancient times.
The ancients believed in the interaction between heaven and man, and once said, "When the seven political stars are bright, the country will prosper. When the auxiliary stars are bright, the ministers will be strong.", "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and is surrounded by other stars." and so on.
Zhai Fangjin, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, committed suicide due to the extremely evil astronomical phenomenon "Mars in the Heart". This shows the awe that the ancients had for astronomical phenomena.
The memorial from the Grand Historian, if explained in plain language, means: Your Majesty, there is a powerful person who wants to harm you, you must be careful.
And at such a critical moment, no matter who is asked, they will think that this "auxiliary star" refers to Princess Fu Yan. In addition to Empress Fu, how many other stars are there that correspond to the above stars?
The prince's forehead was covered in sweat.
He never thought that such a great auspicious sign as Lady Fu would one day become a means for others to attack her!
Moreover, he was not completely unbelieving in his heart.
Yan Shiyue would never want to harm Emperor Ming Yan, but the celestial phenomena gave a warning. Could it be...that something was really going to happen?
Even the prince thinks so, let alone others?
Emperor Mingyan looked at the Grand Historian for a long while without saying a word, then stood up and left. Gu Jiuxing said in a trembling voice, "Dismiss the court!"
The situation suddenly became serious.
Civil and military officials took turns to submit memorials, asking the emperor to forgive Princess Fuyan.
However, there were also some people who risked their lives to advise the emperor to execute Princess Fuyan.
What was originally a trivial matter of a quarrel between father and daughter turned into a two-level mutiny in the Ming Dynasty.
But the emperor just refused to give in.
No matter what the memorial said, it would be kept in the palace and not sent out.
And the Wucheng Palace was really put at the center of the storm all of a sudden.
Kou Yiwen never expected that such a small matter would turn out like this.
He felt extremely guilty and scared. He went to see Huo Qijing again and said, "If it doesn't work out, I will marry that person."
"No need," Huo Qijing said, "This matter has nothing to do with you now. Besides, if you do this, where will Fu Yan be?"
Kou Yiwen was stunned.
Yes, if he agreed to marry Yan Sanniang at this moment, then Princess Fu Yan's insistence on standing up for him would become a joke.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Huo Qijing.
But Huo Qijing went in and out of the garrison as usual, looking unhurried and with no intention of going to the emperor to plead for Yan Shiyue.
After waiting for another day, Emperor Ming Yan finally summoned Huo Qijing.
As soon as Huo Qijing entered, Emperor Ming Yan threw down a memorial, and said angrily, "You are so calm!"
Huo Qijing knelt down calmly without dodging or avoiding the attack: "Your Majesty, Yue'er and I are husband and wife. No matter whether Yue'er is right or wrong, anyone in this world can disagree with her, but I cannot."
Emperor Mingyan snorted, but his anger subsided a little: "Then tell me, is she right or wrong in this matter?"
"Your Majesty," Huo Qijing said, "There are some things that everyone is used to compromising, but it doesn't mean that compromising is right. Yue'er understands that things in the world cannot be perfect, and she recognizes that sacrifices are made for the sake of justice. She also understands that in many things, means may be needed, but these are different from this matter... In this matter, Yan Ronghua harmed others purely for her own benefit. She set up a trap to use her power to oppress others, and created two pairs of resentful couples. She cannot recognize such an approach."
He looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Ronghua used her to cause trouble. To put it bluntly, it was because of the emperor's favor. Yue'er respects the emperor like a god. She cannot tolerate others taking advantage of the emperor's favor to do such a thing."
Emperor Ming Yan snorted angrily.
He thought about it and was still angry: "How could I not know! I didn't say she was wrong at all! I just wanted her to learn how to deal with problems! But I only said half a sentence, and this bastard turned around and left! What kind of dog temper is this?"
"So that's how it is," Huo Qijing lowered his head and said, "I'll tell Yue'er this, she will definitely be happy."
Emperor Ming Yan looked at him, clearly wanting him to continue, so Huo Qijing continued, "Yuer cried and made a scene before, saying that no one in the world liked her and that Aye didn't love her anymore."
Looking at Huo Qijing's expressionless face, Gu Jiuxing was secretly surprised. You really can't judge a person by his appearance! It turns out that this guy is very good at talking!
Huo Qijing indeed rarely spoke so much. He was not good at pleasing his superiors, but he was not completely ignorant, and everything he said was true.
To be honest, he felt that Meng Min and the others were not as important as Emperor Ming Yan in her heart.
Emperor Ming Yan was wise, intelligent, strong and tolerant, and Yan Shiyue obviously liked him very much. During that period, she wrote to him, at least 80% of the letters were about Emperor Ming Yan, and her affection and admiration were obvious, so how could he not understand.
After Huo Qijing left, Emperor Ming Yan was silent for a long time.
Then he said, "Everyone is spoiling her!"
Gu Jiuxing mustered up the courage to smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are the one who spoils the little prince the most in this world!"
Emperor Mingyan glared at him and said, "I spoiled her too much, that's why this little bastard has become lawless!"
Gu Jiuxing hesitated for a moment.
He did not quite understand the significance of what the Imperial Observatory said, but when he witnessed the "saltpeter" incident with his own eyes at Panshi Pass, he became more determined to never offend Princess Fu Yan.
Especially now, Emperor Ming Yan obviously needed a way out, so he said, "Your Majesty, that day, the little prince left crying."
Emperor Mingyan did not answer, so Gu Jiuxing whispered, "I dare to say something. In the heart of the young prince, the emperor is his father. In front of his father, the child will get angry whenever he wants!"
Emperor Mingyan sneered, "How much benefit did Yue'er give you? Why are you speaking for her like this?"
