Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 679 Thoughts
Invited by Dongfang Yi, Jing An continued southward with the little princess and the others.

The letter sent by someone before has already arrived in the capital. After all, the secret guards sent it urgently, so the efficiency is naturally fast.

After a few doses of medicine, the emperor's cold has long since healed up. He was reading the booklet, and saw the secret guard sent a letter from the little princess, so he quickly took it and checked it first.

The little princess made another meritorious service, which surprised the Emperor. He ordered Zhou Chengren to pass on several humerus ministers in the court to the imperial study.

When the ministers arrived, Emperor Chen first told everyone what happened before, and then passed the letter he just received to everyone.

The matter that the little princess solved was a headache for the emperor before, and he had discussed it with the courtiers, but he didn't come to any conclusion.

But now, it was solved by the little princess, and it was solved very beautifully.

After reading the letter, the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay. Anyway, this is a good thing, so they congratulated the emperor together.

"After this matter is resolved, my heart is much more stable. Changle relieves my worries one after another, which makes me feel very relieved."

"Although Changle is a girl, she is still young now, but because she studied early and was taught by a famous teacher, she has more insight than her peers, and she is no worse than a man."

"This matter also shows that women's abilities are not necessarily inferior to men's. That's why I built women's schools in various places before."

"I hope that one day, the court will use talents regardless of gender, as long as it can make Daxing more prosperous, it will be good."

Looking at the veterans in the imperial study room, Emperor Chen spoke again, and he called them into the palace just to talk about this matter.

Before the establishment of a women's school, many senior ministers opposed it, and some of them opposed it.

It's just that he persisted, so in the end, it was able to proceed. Even so, these people talked about it behind their backs.

Emperor Chen has always known that these people have many opinions on women being officials, but he never felt that women are inferior to men.

A long time ago, the queen gave him a lot of ideas and solved some problems. Now, his youngest daughter also shared his worries, and he became more and more sure of his ideas.

The ministers in the imperial study room, after hearing what the Emperor said, you look at me one by one, and I look at yours, I don't know how to answer.

"The emperor is holy." Two courtiers stood up and saluted the emperor, and one of them was Shen Yu.

Someone stood up, and the rest hesitated and followed suit.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not." After saluting, a minister spoke again.

"Please speak." The one who spoke was an old minister, although he was a bit stubborn, but his intentions were good.

"Now, the princes have been out of the palace for more than half a year. The emperor has sent people to protect them. If there is anything, they can be sent back. I wonder if the emperor has decided. Who will be the prince?"

The matter of the prince is a major matter in the court. Some ministers wanted to speak up, but they have been entangled.

"I am still considering the matter of the crown prince. After all, it is a major matter in the court, so it is not easy to decide."

After listening to him, Emperor Chen opened his mouth and responded to the old minister's words. He also wanted to establish a crown prince as soon as possible, but right now, judging from the feedback from the hidden guards, he has not yet been able to decide on the candidate.

It can only be that Changle is a princess, otherwise, just doing these two things to her is enough to make her the heir apparent.

Although he had the idea of ​​letting a woman become an official in the court, in the end, the education Emperor Chen had received since he was a child had no precedent for a woman to become emperor, so he never thought of making the little princess the heir apparent.

As he said this, the minister who spoke before opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Indeed, this is a major matter for the court, and it cannot be easily decided. It seems that this matter can only be brought up after the next year.

Keeping the ministers to stay in the imperial study for a while, the Emperor Chen let them go. He continued to read the papers until all the matters were dealt with, and then returned to Fengyang Palace with the letter from the little princess.

The daughter has made great achievements, and the emperor always wants to tell Su Qingning to make her happy with him.

…………

"Tonight, let's rest here." Passing by a small town, Dongfang Yi looked up at the sky and said to the little princess and the others.

When he said so, everyone had no objection, so he settled down in the inn here.

Ordering people to prepare food and hot water, the group put their luggage away and sat and chatted downstairs.

"I think it's time to send the letter back to the capital." After drinking his saliva, Dongfang Yi looked at the little princess.

"I don't know how my father will react when he receives it?" The little princess looked forward to it, because she had heard from Dongfang Yi that it was a tricky matter.

"I'm sure you'll be happy. That matter has troubled your father for a long time. Unexpectedly, we just happened to pass by and it was resolved."

This was deliberately arranged by Dongfang Yi, but he didn't intend to let the little princess know.

Although he is paving the way for the little princess, it is not yet known whether this road can be paved.

When things are not fully grasped, it is best for her not to know anything, so that she will not be implicated in the future.

Even if they are brothers, when it comes to the fight for the throne, they may turn against each other.

Although the little princess is smart, she is a woman after all. Even if the emperor and queen ordered her to decide her own marriage in the future, she might become the victim.

The road to power has always been walked forward by stepping on the blood of others.

Although Dongfang Yi taught the two princes and the little princess at the same time, he was more optimistic about the little princess.

They are all his students, and he knows best which student looks like and what is suitable for him.

Perhaps in the future, the little prince will be a good one when he grows up, but at that time, the candidate for the throne may have been decided long ago.

Therefore, the little prince is doomed not to be on the throne, and the possible candidates now are only two princes and two princesses.

Dongfang Yi didn't know much about the Eldest Princess, but he had done some understanding of Yang Huixin. She was not someone who could teach the talents of an emperor, so the Eldest Princess and the throne were also not destined for each other.

There were only three of them left. Needless to say, the eldest prince, his mind was not on books at all, but he was more interested in learning martial arts and art of war. Perhaps, he was more suitable to be a good general on the battlefield.

The second prince has a calm temper, which is good, but according to his comparison, he is still not as good as the little princess.

He had tried to explain things related to the emperor's policy. The little princess's opinion was much better than that of the second prince.

However, no one can say for sure what will happen in the end, perhaps until the end, only the second prince will inherit the throne.

After all, the little princess is a woman. In Daxing, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be emperor.

Always have to try, who knows what will happen next?
Jing An sat on the side, listening to Dongfang Yi and the little princess saying each other, with a puzzled look on his face.

When he met the little princess, the letter had already been sent out, so he didn't know what happened before...
