Chapter 139: Princess Duan
"Xuan Shu Qinglan is hereβ"
One step, two steps...
First-order, two-order...
Along the way, Qinglan was particularly silent, immersed in a world that only belonged to her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look at the black hole in front of me, it must be the thief's lair, wait for me to catch up and kill him~dry~clean~clean!"
The head was a mess, and the faces flashed in front of him, and the eyes looking at him were more like a..."The Final Judgment".
Qinglan's heart suddenly quieted down, so quiet that there was no trace of water waves.
Standing on the Jinluan Hall again, Qinglan had no "defense lawyer", only herself and a lone "broken barrel".
That's right, it's really a broken barrel, as soon as this broken barrel appeared, it immediately triggered the whispers of the ministers, has it been "popular" to send a barrel to the emperor recently? Zhu Shizi sent one (that's the battery, okay) Emperor Longxin Dayue, and now Shu Qinglan sends another one...
It's just that this bucket is no different from an ordinary bucket, it's just a little shabby, and many ministers look at Qinglan with even more disdain, poor is poor, and they can't even decorate the faΓ§ade, but Zhu Shizi's bucket is still made of aluminum.
In this era of backward metal manufacturing and low productivity, aluminum is much more valuable than iron.
"Gaden", the barrel landed on the smooth floor, making a dull sound. "Weichen Shu Qinglan ~ See the emperor."
"Get up." Emperor Jingtai's gaze turned twice on the wooden barrel beside Qing Lan, this barrel has been around for some years.
He Yushi seized the opportunity to take the lead in attacking Qinglan: "Be bold Shu Qinglan!" The emperor lost his honor ......, "Balabala, He Yushi quoted scriptures, he prepared these words for a whole night, and recited them twice in the morning when he sat in a sedan chair."
Qinglan lowered her head, listening to He Yushi's counts of his "crimes", and said in her heart: Isn't it that Senior Brother Guo didn't come to your house to visit before he went to the Northeast, as for buttoning me with such a big hat, in other words, being an official is much more exciting than riding a roller coaster, and you praised me for coming bravely a year ago, comparable to Hua Mulan of the Northern Dynasty! Why, in just a few days, I am "extremely evil"?
Seeing that Qinglan didn't speak, He Yushi's arrogance became even more "arrogant", and he was about to continue to criticize, but the side light reminded him that Yan Ge glanced at him, and He Yushi, who received the "signal", was like a hen who was choked by the neck, and there was no more.
The hall was quiet again, and all the ministers were waiting for the emperor's reaction.
"Shu Qing, what do you mean by carrying a wooden barrel to the palace?" Emperor Jingtai's face is as usual, if he can't say that he is ugly, he will be punished~
The ministers looked at Qinglan in unison, for fear of missing every subtle expression on her face.
"Your Majesty," early this morning, Qinglan received a notice that the emperor had given her a chance to defend herself in public. To put it bluntly, it is to debate with many "oppositionists" in the court, as for winning or losing... Qinglan didn't have time to think about it for a while. "What Wechen said today needs this bucket as a substantiation, and I ask the emperor to give Wechen a bucket of water."
It's really a bucket~~~ The ministers exchanged tacit glances with each other.
Emperor Jingtai said to Shi Gong: "Go, bring her a bucket of water." β
Qinglan hurriedly saluted the emperor, and when she got up, she saw two guards carrying in a water tank.
* Μ(oo) Μ)uh...... Your Majesty, you are so generous.
After clearing her throat, Qinglan raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, this bucket of the minister is made of a total of twelve wooden planks," After speaking, he threw the bucket into the water tank, and while scooping it up, the water was flowing out.
Pei Qingzhi looked at the corner of his eyes, can't you buy a new bucket and bring it in?
"Your Majesty, please see," Qinglan leaned over the barrel, and there was only a bottom left in the bucket, "how much water the bucket can hold is not in the tallest board, but here," she patted the longest plank with her hand, and then exposed the shortest plank to the front, "It depends on the shortest board." Your Majesty, now there is such a barrel in Dashun, this is national defense, this is the economy..."Qinglan said as she turned the barrel, pointed to the rotten wooden board that was "moth-eaten and rat-bitten", and said, "This is the imperial court." β
"Bold Shu Qinglan!" A scathing monkey face immediately jumped out and asked the emperor to severely punish Shu Qinglan, the reason was that it was disrespectful, and he dared to compare the court to a piece of rotten wood!
Qinglan really wanted to hit the monkey in the face with a bucket, but the remaining sanity stopped her. "This lord, dare to ask Qinglan where she said something wrong?"
Qinglan really didn't know his name, but apparently Monkey Face didn't think so, and when he heard the other party call himself like this, Monkey Face swelled into a monkey butt.
"Thinking of my Dashun, the people are tens of thousands, the territory is vast and the products are rich, all thanks to the leadership of the saint and the concerted efforts of the ministers. Jingtai ,... a year, "Balabala, every word the monkey face says, the ministers all nod their heads in approval or satisfied with their beards, and they think so."
Ho~! This sycophant, Qinglan is ashamed of herself.
"Your Excellency!" Qinglan interrupted his praise loudly, which immediately aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, but Qinglan still had to say: "Your Majesty, if there is no freedom in criticism, then praise is meaningless!" β
The crown prince smacked his lips, what he said... Quite philosophical.
"Your Majesty," the monkey's face was very angry, what did she Shu Qinglan mean, what did it mean to praise meaninglessly? "Jingtai for three years, the emperor has not slept for three days..."
If the emperor hadn't interrupted the monkey's face, it is estimated that he would have been able to speak for a whole day.
Emperor Jingtai said: "It's okay, Shu Qing, you go on to say that Zhongqing is in the hall today, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the ministers kowtowed in thanks, and Qinglan felt more and more confident in her heart.
"Your Majesty, the rotten board can be replaced, but the board that is shorter must be replaced!"
Emperor Jingtai leaned forward, "What does this short board refer to..."
Qinglan pointed to her head, "Thoughts, rest on your laurels, don't want to forge ahead!" β
Emperor Jingtai was taken aback, "How can you see it?" β
"You can get a glimpse of it from the woman." Qinglan's words are convincing.
"Oh, I want to hear about it." The ministers were shocked when they heard this, why was the emperor so polite to this Shu Qinglan?
The crown prince and Yan Song and other old ministers unconsciously stepped forward.
"Women are short of men since birth, the so-called Zhang makes tiles, men are beautiful jade, women are just a mud blank. Slightly longer, men play with women, take care of their siblings, take care of household chores, and even be sold into slavery. and grow up, the lucky boy reads, the woman learns the female cook, and only the young lady of the high-ranking family has the opportunity to study and go to school; After getting married, the man can continue to have fun, but the woman has to take care of Aunt Weng to have children and manage the house, and she is buried in the family house all her life, and the world's constraints on women are too heavy, which is a pity. Qinglan's eyes showed a faint sadness, but this sadness was immediately replaced by tenacity, "There are also many women who are ingenious or talented, why not give women a chance to let them shine and contribute to the construction of Dashun?" Your Majesty, a spark can start a prairie fire, and this is half of Dashun's people! β
Emperor Jingtai stared at Shu Qinglan with a complicated expression, the spark of the stars can start a prairie fire?
"Hmph, what a star, speaking of which, Master Shu is just for himself!" If it weren't for the Jinluan Palace now, it was estimated that Yan Shifan would take a bite of Qinglan "by the way".
"Lord Yan," Qinglan laughed instead of being angry, "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, what is Qinglan's fault for herself?" But this is too biased, Qinglan now has an official position, and she can also support her family, why should she risk the world's disapproval and fight for a place for women!? Qinglan is a good woman, but first of all, she is a courtier of the country, and she puts state affairs first! Lord Yan doesn't agree with Qinglan's statement, do you still want to stop Qinglan from working for Dashun!? β
"Messing around, it's really difficult for women and villains to raise, and the saint doesn't deceive me!" Yan Shifan puffed out his eyes as he spoke.
Qinglan suddenly felt funny, "Since Lord Yan looks down on women so much, why is there a protΓ©gΓ© like Xu Chunrong and Lord Xu under the door?" β
"Lord Xu is not trying to become Princess Duan!" The implication is that your purpose of being an official is not pure.
Qinglan laughed shortly, "Why can't I marry my beloved, don't say that His Royal Highness the Thirteenth is King Duan, he is a beggar alien, I will also try to marry him!" β
Emperor Jingtai supports his forehead, and the beggar is just that, what the hell is an alien?
"Hmph, nonsense!" Yan Shifan obviously didn't believe or understand what Qinglan meant.
"Doesn't Lord Yan love beautiful flowers? Those warblers, warblers, swallows, and concubines in your house are thin, young, and beautiful, and they dance around you all day long, and when they are your meat spit pot and spittoon urinal basin..."
"Bold! You are slandering, Your Majesty, the minister wants to sue Shu Qinglan for slander! Yan Shifan was trembling all over his body when he kowtowed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened.
"Your Majesty, Qinglan's words are true, if there is half a lie, the sky can learn from it, and the sky will hit five thunders!" Qinglan's words are sonorous, and my sister still doesn't believe in this evil!
The ministers looked at Shu Qinglan again, this kid is stupid and bold, how dare she take out this kind of thing and put it on the table!
Emperor Jingtai's face darkened, and he secretly blamed Qinglan regardless of the occasion.
"Ahem," Master Taifu couldn't help it, he stepped forward to relieve the emperor, in a purely inquiring tone, "Hehe, it's far away, what Lord Xiao Shu said just now, about the liberation of women, this is related to... What does it matter to think? β
"Taifu, you are well-versed in poetry and music, and you should know what a gentleman's conduct is. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, people can promote the Tao, human nature is good, choose good and stubborn, Confucius said that a gentleman must be a man? It's just that women don't have such opportunities. If women are liberated and work hard to learn these knowledge and truths, then won't my Dashun have no shortcomings? "The more Qinglan said, the brighter her eyes became, like the scorching sun, making it difficult for people to look directly." Equality between men and women is the first step in emancipating the mind. β
Qinglan walked up to the monkey's face and continued, "This second step is to seek truth from facts. Good is good, bad is bad. Everyone likes to listen to praise, if Dashun from top to bottom, everyone only picks up good words, and dare not tell the truth, then, Dashun is in danger! β
Emperor Jingtai's eyes shrank, Qinglan suddenly felt like a man's back, raised his eyes, but saw that the look on the dragon chair was as usual and did not distinguish between joy and anger.
The monkey's face directly turned into pork liver in sauce and brushed away.
He Yushi jumped out again.
"Shu Qinglan," He Yushi sneered, "Are you admitting that you are a shortcoming of the imperial court?" β
I'm rubbing, how did this IQ become a royal history. Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Emperor Jingtai on the dragon chair.
"He Qing and step aside."
He Yushi glared at Qinglan hatefully, and Qinglan also shook off a roll of his eyes unceremoniously, the emperor asked you to retreat, it's about my birds!
He Yushi was even more angry, like a goldfish thrown ashore, with his cheeks bulging one by one.
"Shu Qing, you go on." It's childish.
"Your Majesty, there is a good saying, women can hold up half the sky, there are not a few women like Quan Dashun like ministers, they are willing to be self-reliant, if they go out of the house and go to society, they will inevitably compare some men to them, or even replace them, when the time comes..."
"Hehe..."In the midst of the ridicule, Yan Shifan's voice was the most harsh.
"Lord Shu, today I am talking about the election of the princess, but you have repeatedly mentioned the woman of Dashun, what is the relationship between the two?!"
"Isn't Princess Duan chosen from among women?" Qinglan looked at the official who was asking.
Chen Shangshu choked, "It's good to choose from women, but there are so many excellent women in Dashun!" "You don't have to be delusional anymore!
Today, Thirteen is gone, and all the princes, including the crown prince, have avoided it.
"Weichen wants to ask the Pope, is it important to have a state or a family matter, a private matter or a public matter?"
"Since it is the country before the family, the public before the private."
Qinglan gave a salute from afar, "Qinglan wants to marry King Duan, and the emperor has the final say." So Qinglan listened to the emperor, but there was just one sentence, Qinglan didn't vomit or be unhappy. Qinglan is a woman, but she privately feels that women are not inferior to men, why can she only teach her husband and children in the backyard after marriage, and can no longer seek the well-being of the people? β
Qinglan deliberately looked at Yan Song, Yan Shifan and others all the way, "The emperor is the head of a country and the head of a family, and I also ask the emperor to fulfill Qinglan's sincere heart!" After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.
The heart of sincerity is not only to the emperor and Dashun, but also to the king of Duan, who is a childhood sweetheart.
******
This time, Emperor Jingtai reacted very quickly, Qinglan arrived home with her front foot, and ushered in the holy decree of marriage with her back foot.
"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said: Shu's Qinglan, grew up in school since childhood, sensitive and intelligent, young ......"
Qinglan, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to those beautiful words to describe herself, and was not relieved, but felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier.
Pan Erniang pulled her sleeves and cried with joy, the emperor recognized his daughter?
The person who just sent the emperor away here immediately received the edict of the noble concubine.
In addition to rewarding a bunch of jewelry, Concubine Jiang Guifei also assigned a nurturing grandmother to Qinglan, who will be responsible for teaching Qinglan court etiquette from today onwards.
