long live the queen

Chapter 92

No one dared to take Wei Yunqing's words casually.

How can Emperor Gao and Emperor Ren talk freely, but she is so bold that she dares to say such a thing!But she dared to say that they absolutely must not pick up randomly!

So there was silence in front of the Qianqing Palace.

In the silence, some sharp-eyed people noticed that the emperor had unexpectedly arrived at the gate of the palace at some point. Their eyes lit up immediately, expecting the emperor to punish Wei Yunqing for his act of arbitrarily arranging Emperor Gao and Emperor Ren.

However, Yang Yi's performance is bound to disappoint them.

Hearing Huang Bajin report that Wei Yunqing, who had been in a cold war with him and never came to look for him, was at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Yang Yi ran out immediately. He did not disturb Wei Yunqing, and listened to her quietly, and felt from the bottom of his heart that she said It's too reasonable——As for arranging the ancestors, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. In his heart, Wei Yunqing will always be a fairy in the sky, and he has the right to criticize anyone.Moreover, it is obvious that these damned officials are aggressive, saying that the rooster wakes up in the morning, and the world is in chaos, it is really nonsense!She saved his life, and she is still a fairy in the sky, so how could God bring disasters because of this?Then she also said that when she was helping to deal with political affairs, the disasters were much less!

Yang Yi's heart was completely on Wei Yunqing's side. At this moment, he stood aside blankly, sighing in his heart that as expected of his sister Yunqing, there is a way to deal with these pedantic people.

Therefore, those officials who were looking forward to catching Wei Yunqing's "disrespectful remarks" on the spot, Yang Yineng, who showed great power and dealt with her, saw the emperor they were relying on standing there leisurely, with no intention of standing out at all.

"Master Xie, the disaster is not on my shoulders, is it?" Wei Yunqing continued to look at Xie Sheng and asked.

Xie Sheng hesitated to speak, and looked down at the rice paper, trying to see some clues.But he is just a student of liberal arts, average in arithmetic, and he feels that according to the summary on this paper, it seems that the disasters in this world can't really be blamed on the imperial concubine, and there were more disasters during Emperor Gao's reign - of course It is impossible for him to say this.

"Why, do you think I'm cheating?" Seeing that Xie Sheng had been looking at her statistics, Wei Yunqing smiled and said, "Although you can look it up again to see if I've faked it." This is what she brought to Yanxi Palace. The people in charge spent a lot of energy searching for the summary report produced, and after reviewing it, she was not afraid of their review.

Seeing that Wei Yunqing was so calm, Xie Sheng felt that the things on this piece of paper were not fake.

He is an upright man, and there are also some pedantic scholars who cannot escape. He has always believed that women should not interfere in political affairs, otherwise the world will be chaotic. On weekdays, he and his colleagues denounced the imperial concubine's monopoly. The emperor restored the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, and don't let the generation of female streamers destroy Daliang's foundation.

Today was the first time he met the imperial concubine, and he found that he hadn't thought about what she said before.They said that she exceeded her authority and interfered with the government, but no one was persecuted by her, and she never heard of any money-raising and appointment of her private trips, even when the emperor did not go to court or discuss matters with the cabinet. She stood up.And the reason they opposed her was simply because of her status as a woman... No, in this world, men should be superior to women, and women are ignorant and incompetent, jealous and petty, how can they take on the whole responsibility?However, the imperial concubine in front of her seemed to be ignorant. She was not a messy person, and she used these unchangeable things to refute the words "the rooster wakes up in the morning, and the world is in chaos", which even made it impossible for them to refute it. It is really……

The more Xie Sheng thought about it, the more confused he became. He is not the kind of person who is pedantic to the end, and he can accept some new ideas. Therefore, in the case of Wei Yunqing, the education he received in the past was deeply implanted in his inner thoughts and concepts. Conflicting with his current rationality, he no longer knows what to do.

"No objection?" Wei Yunqing didn't wait for Xie Sheng to clarify his true thoughts. Seeing that he didn't speak, he looked around again, "What about everyone?"

No one dared to say anything about it.

Wei Yunqing smiled and said: "Very well, the matter of 'Men Ji Chen' is over, I hope no one will bring it up again in the future. Then let's talk about other things."

Her face was slightly cold, and she said sharply: "For you officials, the arrogance that men should be above women is more important than the whole Daliang Foundation, isn't it?"

The officials who knelt on the ground were all stunned. This is a question they never thought about deeply, and their first reaction was naturally to refute.

You know, even if some women have the intention of resisting patriarchy occasionally, almost no one will shout and resist the entire patriarchal society so sharply.And Wei Yunqing's daring to do this now is because of his current status - if she is still eating outside the palace and waiting to die, living her own life, naturally she only wants to take care of herself and not others.But since she has the conditions, she wants to try.

"Imperial Concubine, what do you mean?" Someone shouted angrily, "We are loyal to Daliang, and would rather die for Daliang, how can you insult the integrity of literati like this?!"

Wei Yunqing looked at the man, and said with a sneer, "You are the ones who insult your integrity, what have I to do with you? Saying that you would rather die for Daliang is just empty talk, you don't even have the courage to let a woman interfere in political affairs!"

"You...how can a woman be involved in politics! If you break the rules of the ancestors, the hundreds of years of Daliang's foundation will be affected by this, and it may be ruined!" An old minister with gray hair screamed.

Wei Yunqing didn't talk about respecting the old and loving the young at the moment, and looked at him and said, "Why can't women be involved in politics?"

The old minister blew his beard and stared: "Since ancient times, men are superior to women, and women are born with long hair and short knowledge. If women are allowed to rule, the country will perish!"

"First, the so-called men are superior to women since ancient times. You take it for granted. When there were no records in the history books, we humans were matriarchal clans, and women were the heads of the family. If you really count it as 'from ancient times', now you take the head of the family." How about returning status to women?
"Secondly, it's interesting to say that women have long hair and short knowledge. If you don't read, no one will teach you how to read and write? You don't let women read, and at the same time scold women for short knowledge, which is really reasonable!
"Thirdly, what happened to women in power? You are in groups of three or four, forming cliques and fighting for personal gain every day. When did you put Daliang's hundreds of years of foundation in the first place? But I am different from you. I am here. There are no fathers or mothers in the world, and I will never think of seeking selfish desires for anyone, and I will never favor any side. If you don’t believe me, you can ask a few adults in the cabinet. When discussing matters on weekdays, I have always been right and wrong , completely selfless. You should ask yourself, if you are the chief assistant, with high positions and weights, wouldn't you appoint your own people, eliminate dissidents, and expect the family to dominate?"

Wei Yunqing's words were too direct and sharp, and the faces of some officials became more and more ugly following her words.However, there are only a very small number of officials who can accept her words, and most officials think her words are nonsense and nonsense.

A middle-aged official said loudly: "First, how do you know what is not recorded in the history books? It is ridiculous that a woman is in charge of the house! Second, even if women are allowed to study, women cannot have the same knowledge as men. Men and women There is no difference, talent is limited! Third, the lower officials will never form a party for personal gain, even if they are high and powerful, they will not use their power for personal gain!"

Seeing the other party's upright expression, Wei Yunqing asked, "Who is this lord?"

"The lower official, the capital procuratorate, and the censor Xing Shoudao!" The official didn't have any fear, and seemed not at all afraid of being retaliated against.

"Master Xing, I will answer your three questions one by one." Wei Yunqing said, his expression seemed a little mysterious, "First, I have my own channels to know, not only do I know that there were times when women were in charge , I also know that human beings were transformed from apes over millions of years. Second, what Master Xing said is reasonable, but there is no evidence for it. Then, according to Master Xing’s intention, set up a women’s academy to recruit female students, and compare them with men. Thirdly, Mr. Xing has integrity, I will discuss with the emperor later to see what kind of official I can promote you, what I lack is an official like you who has integrity and is willing to do practical things for the common people!"

Xing Shoudao was stunned, and everyone present was stunned!
Xing Shoudao was ready to be questioned when he came out to speak, but he was not afraid!However, the development of this matter was too unexpected for him!Let’s not talk about the first one, saying that people are transformed from apes and monkeys is simply the greatest mystery in the world!Second, when did he say he was going to open a women's academy?This is too inexplicable!The most incomprehensible thing to him is the third, he came out to refute her, but she wanted to promote him?This... Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet?

The thoughts of the others were not much different from Xing Shoudao's. Wei Yunqing's every word surprised them, and what puzzled them the most was that she said that she would promote those who refuted her!Could it be... a rise in the open and a fall in the dark?
Everyone's thoughts are different, and at this time Yang Yi suddenly raised his voice: "There is no need to discuss it. It happens that the cabinet is short of someone. I will make you a scholar of Huagaidian and join the cabinet."

Wei Yunqing turned around suddenly, and saw Yang Yi walking slowly with a serious face on his airs.Although his walking seemed slow, he couldn't hide the eagerness of his steps, and he didn't stop until he got to Wei Yunqing's side.

With Yang Yi's order, the ministers at the scene were even more confused.

This... is this a promotion?That's the cabinet!Their lifelong goal is to join the cabinet because Xing Shoudao refuted the imperial concubine?This, this is too childish!
Wei Yunqing sighed slightly in her heart, although she knew that Yang Yi came out to support her, but his act of directly getting someone to the cabinet was a bit too much.It doesn't matter that other officials are appointed by the emperor, but the cabinet has always been elected by the ministers. If they can't convince the public, even if they enter the cabinet, they will not be able to carry out their work. An airborne soldier is very taboo for the ministers.

But it's not like she can't push the boat along at this time.

I saw Wei Yunqing glanced around, and smiled slightly: "My lords, if you feel that the emperor's order is inappropriate, just say so. You have also seen that direct remonstrance is not only innocent, but also meritorious."

As soon as Wei Yunqing said this, some people really had the courage to speak out: "Your Majesty, I think that the selection of cabinet candidates is not a joke, please think twice!"

Many people agreed, and even Xing Shoudao himself said: "Back to the emperor, I have little talent and little knowledge. I really can't enter the cabinet at present. Please take back my order!"

Yang Yi looked at Xing Shoudao, turned his eyes slightly, and fell on Wei Yunqing again.

Wei Yunqing smiled slightly: "Since Mr. Xing also said so, I think the emperor should take back this order? As for the promotion of Mr. Xing so that he can use his talents, we can discuss it later."

Seeing Wei Yunqing's gentle smile, Yang Yi's heart sank, and he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's discuss it later!"

The officials who were present kneeled at the gate of Qianqing Palace to plead for orders to let Wei Yunqing step down, and they were all ready to be held accountable. Who would have thought that not only were they not accused, but they would even be promoted. This was unexpected, and some were good at speculating The official has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

But there are still some stubborn officials who don't accept Wei Yunqing's tricks. Seeing Yang Yi appearing again, someone immediately jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Liang's hundreds of years of foundation, please take charge! Drive the imperial concubine back to the harem! "

Wei Yunqing sighed inwardly, and unconsciously turned his gaze to the spring bench beside him.The minister who was beaten just now has already been taken down for treatment, so they saw that the position here was vacant, so they couldn't wait to fill the vacancy, right...
