Chapter 375 The Road Is Obstructed And Difficult
It was summer at that time, and several ministers died of heat very quickly. Some of them were old, and some were used to being pampered and pampered.

Fortunately, the prophecy at the time of Pei Xiaoran's birth strengthened Emperor Chixuan's belief, which led to a stalemate until the end. After all, Emperor Chixuan won the final victory and sent Pei Xiaoran to an official path that no woman in the history of Suzaku had ever traveled.

Pei Xiaoran didn't disappoint Emperor Chixuan either, and managed Xijiang properly.

And it turns out that women are not necessarily inferior to men.

Pei Xiaoran also expressed regret for the death of those ministers.

However, they definitely did not die because of her.

To be precise, those people died for the 'power' in their own hands.

If Emperor Chixuan had set a precedent for women to be officials, then part of the power in the hands of these ministers would have to be allocated.

No one will give the fat in their hands to others.

Moreover, if the status of women is raised, what should men do to overwhelm them and let them live under their own control?
Therefore, the death of those people can only be regarded as death for their selfishness.

However, at that time, Pei Xiaoran was no longer a child, and he still had military exploits, so those stubborn old men refused to give in.

Now, she is still a child and has not yet made any military achievements. Once the news spreads that Emperor Chixuan wants her to deliver food, the group of ministers may collectively hang themselves in front of the hall for Emperor Chixuan to see.

Emperor Chixuan treated her very well, and Pei Xiaoran really didn't want to embarrass him so much.

Although this is a necessary process, if it is done step by step, the reaction of those ministers should be less violent.

Although Pei Xiaoran really wanted to have the power to protect her loved ones earlier, she also knew that this matter cannot be done overnight, it is better to take it slowly.

But she only cared about those ministers, and she didn't think for a while that the situation and mentality of Emperor Chixuan at this time were completely different from those in the previous life.

Emperor Chixuan no longer trusted the ministers in the court so much. The reason why he chose Pei Xiaoran was to test the loyalty of those people to him and see if they would still listen to him.

If those people were obedient, maybe Emperor Chixuan would slow down the pace of training Pei Xiaoran.

But if those people want to defy him, it will only make him feel that his status and power are threatened, which will prompt him to speed up the pace of training Pei Xiaoran.

Knowing that the little thing was worried that he would not be able to handle it, Emperor Chixuan's expression softened a lot, he raised his hand and rubbed her little head, and the soft hair ran through his fingers, slowly soothing the dullness in his heart.

Emperor Chixuan said:

"I've made up my mind on this matter, you just have to do what I say, and I'll take care of the rest."

Hearing the firmness in Emperor Chixuan's words, Pei Xiaoran glanced at him worriedly, and could only bow his head and respond:

"Xiao Yan obeyed."

As expected, as soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the court.

Although the ministers didn't hang themselves directly in front of the main hall, they were about the same, at least they had the intention to hang themselves.

After all, asking Pei Xiaoran to deliver food meant that Emperor Chixuan really wanted to make this little girl an official.

It's not that these ministers only discovered the threat of Pei Xiaoran now, it's just that none of them took this little girl seriously before.

First of all, can you believe the words of those fortune tellers?
Secondly, even if Emperor Chixuan sent someone to train him meticulously, the ministers all felt that he was just trying to see if any miracle could happen.

The ministers don't think that a small woman can beat those mighty and majestic generals.

In the end, even if Pei Xiaoran showed excellent skills, so what?
The man is outside and the woman is inside. This is the rule set by the ancestors. I believe their sage will not violate the rules of the ancestors for a little girl.

However, Emperor Chixuan violated it.

So the ministers couldn't calm down any longer, and went to persuade them one after another like a battle of wheels.

Is it child's play to say that such a heavy responsibility is entrusted to a child who is less than ten years old?

After a while, he said that the food was related to the life and death of the people. If Pei Xiaoran couldn't protect him and was robbed by the robbers blocking the road, what would the people who were short of food and food do?
Emperor Chixuan was unexpectedly very patient. He also knew that this matter would not get the approval of his officials, so he had already prepared for it.

First, he called Pei Xiaoran's five masters over and told the ministers that Pei Xiaoran's skill was no less than that of a big man with great martial arts skills.

Then pass the old generals who taught Pei Xiaoran the art of war into the palace, and tell the ministers that Pei Xiaoran is not a naive little girl who doesn't understand anything.

In the end, he told the ministers that he was by no means a faint king, and not only Pei Xiaoran was sent to deliver the food this time, but Cao Tailai, the servant of the Ministry of War, was also accompanying him.

Emperor Chixuan felt that he was sincere enough, but the ministers did not buy it. Seeing that there was no objection from these aspects, they immediately turned to the other side——

Pei Xiaoran is a woman, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official. It is fine to send food, but Emperor Chixuan has to promise that she will never let her participate in political affairs after she returns.

Emperor Chixuan laughed angrily at this group of stubborn old people.

Let people do things, and they are not allowed to reward them when they are done well. This group of stinky shameless things really speak out.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chixuan couldn't help feeling more distressed about that little thing.

It's not easy for a woman to be born, but he personally pushed Pei Xiaoran onto such an extremely difficult path. He encountered such great resistance at the very beginning. It's not hard to imagine how much criticism Pei Xiaoran will face in the future.

Emperor Chixuan restrained the amiable look on his face, and ordered in a cold voice:
"I have exhausted my words and the truth. If there are still people who want to disobey, they will be punished severely for the crime of disobedience!"

After finishing speaking, without looking at the faces of the ministers in front of him who suddenly became ugly, he got up and flung his sleeves away.

In Fengyi Palace.

The queen hurriedly called Zhu Lianxi, and Zhu Lianxi came unhurriedly. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the unconcealable joy on the queen's face.

Zhu Lianxi only took one look and then looked away. Shi Shiran stepped forward, wanting to salute the queen, but was stopped by the queen.

The queen helped him up with her own hands, and said with a smile:
"You and I still need those vain rituals? Come and sit down, the queen mother has something to tell you."

Zhu Lianxi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling rather surprised that although he had always maintained a superficial harmony with this unrelated 'mother', it was the first time such an intimate act had occurred.

He quietly followed her wishes and sat on the chair next to him. As soon as his butt touched the surface of the chair, he heard the queen say impatiently:
"Xi'er, your royal father wants to send someone to the north to deliver [-] stones of grain and grass, but the person he sent was Pei Xiaoran. None of the ministers agree with your royal father, and they are taking turns to persuade you. "

As she spoke, she pinched the handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled, unable to hide her gloating:
"I don't know what your royal father thinks. It's no wonder that the group of ministers will agree to entrust such a heavy responsibility to a yellow-haired girl. However, this is also our opportunity..."
