His Majesty's ability to act is unparalleled.
The little fat boy mentioned it, and he had thought of all the rules in his mind.
After talking with the fat boy for a while, he basically said that Xiao Yuan was far inferior to His Highness and how wise and brave His Highness was.
After saying that, he took the paper from the fat boy and summoned all the ministers to the Xuanzheng Hall.
His Majesty sat high on the dragon throne, quietly watching everyone quarreling.
When he came, he had already told the ministers what the fat boy had said.
The officials were unable to guess what the emperor meant, so they could only speak carefully.
Until His Majesty ordered everyone to speak frankly.
This caused a storm.
The officials argued several times, some of them thought this was against etiquette.
Some people believe that it can be implemented, but only for the people of Dazhao.
Some people are waiting quietly, waiting for the emperor to make the final decision.
Although everyone was surprised by the new grain seeds, they would not blindly follow what His Highness said.
After all, throughout history, there are only five grains. Are there no other foods among them?
Of course there is, but when it comes to promotion, we have to consider the breadth of planting, the yield, and the effort and output.
The people are miserable.
Even with a diverse diet, many people starved to death.
The emperor took everything in, then raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"The six ministries will be increased to eight. I will add the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce. Those with ambition and talent are welcome to recommend themselves. The Empress will be the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Lady Xie will be the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Commerce."
Your Majesty is a low-key person, but as soon as he opens his mouth he can pour out a pool of boiling water.
The officials were so scalded that they all jumped up and down.
All the civil and military officials in the court were extremely surprised and carefully pondered what His Majesty said.
What are six and eight departments?
His Majesty wants two women to accompany them to the court to serve as officials.
It would be fine if the Queen could tolerate it, but who is this Lady Xie?
Your Majesty, is your epilepsy recurring?
Aren’t we just talking about farming? How did it involve three provinces and six ministries?
A woman is appointed as an assistant minister, they must have heard it wrong, right?
On an equal footing with those who passed the imperial examination, Your Majesty, are you okay?
Emperor Mingxi was as calm and composed as ever, as if what he said was the most normal thing.
But the officials didn't think so. Their faces flushed red and they didn't dare to look at the emperor. They could only wink at their colleagues.
Brothers, talk to me! Let's talk!
"What do you think?" The emperor was in a leisurely mood and even symbolically asked for the opinions of his ministers.
The whole hall was silent, not a sound could be heard.
Facing His Majesty who was extremely magnanimous, everyone looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and no one uttered a word.
It's truly terrifying for His Majesty to look at us with such a smile. Is he going to chop us all to death the moment we speak?
Help! Your Majesty, relying on his great reputation, always likes to play open tricks.
I don’t think he wants to kill us all so that he can support the prince’s team to take the throne!
"My Lords, His Majesty is still waiting." Wu Zhonghe spoke in a gloomy tone, looking at everyone with a threatening look.
He is so bold as to defy the heaven.
As soon as these words were spoken, someone couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Among all the officials in this palace today, which one is not a pillar of talent selected through the imperial examination? The idea of men managing the outside world and women managing the inside world is a legend that will be passed down through the ages."
Ridiculous, really ridiculous.
How can a woman take on such a great responsibility!
Your Majesty's move must be to pave the way for the Crown Prince.
What are the Three Provinces and Six Ministries? They represent almost all the powerful people in a country.
Not all the top scholars in history could become vice ministers of the six ministries.
For major national affairs, such as the one at this time, officials from the three provinces and six ministries must be summoned to discuss them.
It can be said that all the policies of the world are discussed by these people.
Those who can sit in these positions are all promising people.
After all, they serve as officials under His Majesty, a god of death.
If you didn't have some ability, your head would have flown off long ago. How could you still have the chance to stand in the Xuan Zheng Hall?
"I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order." The Minister of Revenue bowed deeply and spoke earnestly.
He is an upright person who does not go along with corrupt practices or form cliques for personal gain. However, he is very talented and is particularly good at managing money.
Your Majesty admires him very much, he is just too rigid and conservative.
Your Majesty did not speak, and the Minister of Revenue kept bowing his head.
Xiang Jing, as the Minister of Rites, had the least stressful position of the six ministries. He didn't know why, but he felt that His Majesty's actions were somewhat strange. He followed his heart and bowed, saying, "I think this is inappropriate. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order."
As a close minister of the emperor, he also spoke out against it, which gave people hope.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up.
Even if Your Majesty is angry, it is with Geng Xiangjing, and it has nothing to do with us.
After thinking about this, all the civil and military officials in the court bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we sincerely ask you to revoke your order."
Wu Zhonghe sighed.
Everything was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Just as everyone was feeling anxious, His Majesty actually smiled faintly and said, "We'll discuss this later. However, I have made up my mind that the Empress will be in charge of farming, and Lady Xie will be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce."
Compared with the establishment of two more ministries, what does having two more women serving as officials in the court matter?
Everyone just felt relieved that His Majesty was still not crazy.
But the ministers are still a little bit unbelievable. Is Your Majesty so easy to talk to?
I always feel that His Majesty is plotting some bigger conspiracy.
Put this strange feeling behind you. The main goal has been achieved already, so what does this matter to you?
Pei Hangqing, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at everyone with a subtle look.
No, don't you see that His Majesty is retreating to advance? He never even considered establishing a second ministry. All he wants is for you to agree that the Empress and Lady Xie should enter the court together.
My dear colleagues, how could you be manipulated by His Majesty?
It’s not that the ministers are stupid, but that Your Majesty is a person of character. If they don’t stop him, He will really do so.
He is arrogant and has the final say, yet he is still an emperor!
What can I do now that I know it?
When the benevolent little prince ascends the throne, their lives will be better.
The emperor left the court in a good mood, waved his sleeves, and summoned Jia Yi to his side.
After a few whispers, Wu Zhonghe's expression was very interesting.
Your Majesty, can a human being not be so cruel?
Didn’t you always kill people directly before?
