Chapter 639: Angering the Ministers
Everyone looked at the person who made the voice, it was Princess Jinyang, not His Majesty.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized a problem, since Li Xiucai's identity was revealed, His Majesty has not spoken out.
neither punished Princess Jinyang nor supported Princess Jinyang, but sat on it silently, as if she was watching a play.
What does Your Majesty mean by such an attitude?
Even Pei Lian, who claimed to know the emperor best, couldn't figure out the emperor's mind at this time.
But no matter what, they must not let a little girl enter the court, which is a shame for them.
At this moment, almost all the courtiers put aside their past grievances, twisted into a rope, and worked together to deal with Wang Yu.
But Wang Yu was not afraid, and she bravely faced the ministers who opposed her: "The only thing to do is to win souls."
"The imperial court held scientific expeditions to select talents, and the ancients also taught us to appoint people on the basis of merit, since they are virtuous ministers, why should we divide men and women? Isn't it enough to serve the country and work for the well-being of the people? ”
"Of course not." Feng Deyi strongly objected: "Women can't be officials, this is the ancestral training." ”
Wang Yu scolded unceremoniously: "Pedanty." ”
Being scolded by a little girl, Feng Deyi suddenly felt ashamed, and his face turned red.
Wang Yu ignored his anger and continued: "If you want to say that there is a precedent for women to be officials, Datang already has it.
"Princess Pingyang was named a general by His Majesty, guarding Wei Ze Pass, she is a woman, she has an official position, but she has not entered the court to discuss matters."
Feng Deyi paused for a moment, and said stiffly: "Princess Pingyang is different, she has military merits, and she has not entered the court, which is not considered a violation of the ancestral teachings." ”
Hehe, a good one doesn't count.
Wang Yu sneered: "In terms of title, I am the same princess as Princess Pingyang; In terms of military merits, I am on par with Princess Pingyang.
"The difference is just that she is His Majesty's biological daughter, and I am just a righteous daughter, if I am treated differently because of different bloodlines, I have nothing to say."
When he said the last sentence, Wang Yu looked at Li Yuan, his eyes glowing with water, exuding a strong sadness.
Her eyes immediately reminded Li Yuan of the dispute, when she proposed to let women participate in the imperial examination and was reprimanded by him.
Until now, Wang Yu's sad expression at that time still touched Li Yuan deeply, just like now.
Li Yuan's heart softened: "No matter what else, Princess Jinyang and Princess Pingyang are the same in their lonely hearts. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, the meaning of His Majesty's words is clearly that Princess Jinyang is like Princess Yan, and the weight in His Majesty's heart is the same as that of Princess Pingyang.
His Majesty is defending Princess Jinyang.
Realizing this, Feng Deyi began to retreat.
Wang Yu smiled, smiled sincerely, smiled happily, and she sincerely kowtowed to Li Yuan: "Thank you Aya for your kindness." ”
The ministers panicked, they thought that Li Yuan had forgiven Wang Yu's behavior, and then wanted to let Wang Yu enter the court, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty think twice, women can't be officials, this is the ancestral training." ”
Wang Yu stood up abruptly and faced everyone: "What ancestral teaching?" It's just an excuse you use to control women.
"If a country wants to become strong, it is not by men controlling women that it can become strong, but by appointing virtuous ministers.
"You oppose me so much to enter the court, just out of inferiority and jealousy, you are afraid that I am more talented than you and will rob you of your position."
"Nonsense." Pei Lin couldn't help but scold: "You are a yellow-haired girl, even if you can be admitted to Xiucai, that is, you are slightly more knowledgeable than other students."
"You are not deeply involved in the world, and you have never been an official or a general, how can you compare with us?
"I advise you not to be arrogant, and obediently go back to be your princess."
Wang Yu was angry, but the more angry she was, the calmer she became on the surface: "All the ministers are talents selected by His Majesty, and there are many of you who are knowledgeable civil officials and brave generals.
"I don't mean to despise you, on the contrary, you can stand here, you all have a skill, I admire you."
Everyone's faces softened slightly.
"But......" Wang Yu changed his words: "Today I want to solemnly tell you that the person standing in front of you is by no means an ordinary yellow-haired girl.
"I was named a prodigy at the age of seven, and I never forgot it, and I was the only student who passed the Xiucai course this year. He also went out with the army and made many military exploits.
"But the fact that I am so good today is all due to my father-in-law, His Majesty today.
"He adopted me, hired famous teachers for me, cultivated me carefully, and taught me by word and deed."
Speaking of this, Wang Yu stopped and thanked Li Yuan again: "Thank you Aye for so many years of careful teaching, Xiao Yu'er will remember it for the rest of his life." ”
Li Yuan's heart warmed when he heard it.
Then, Wang Yu looked at everyone again, and said in a tone that looked at the world: "It's not that I am arrogant, the daughter taught by His Majesty himself, none of you can compare." ”
"Arrogance." Pei Lin snorted coldly: "Don't think that you are great if you are a talent in the exam, above the court, there are great Confucians in the world, and they are definitely not surpassing you and other juniors." ”
"Really? Which of you is where you are today at my age? Wang Yu fought back unceremoniously.
Pei Lian: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Wang Yu's words made everyone unable to raise their heads.
At this time, Li Yuanji stood up: "Xiao Yu'er, although they don't have such achievements at your age, they are better than you now." ”
"The fourth brother's words are too full." Wang Yu looked at Li Yuanji: "To say something that offends people, there will never be more than ten people present who can beat me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the temple was like a pot exploding.
"How can you dare to underestimate us?"
"A yellow-haired girl, who also dares to speak wildly, really doesn't know the height of the sky."
......
Li Yuanji looked at Wang Yu in disappointment: "Little Yu'er, don't say that my brother won't help you, your words are too arrogant." ”
"What's wrong with hubris?" Wang Yu raised his voice.
The hall fell silent again.
Wang Yu raised the corners of his mouth, his face full of confidence: "I was personally taught by His Majesty, and my knowledge and talent are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
"No matter how arrogant I am, I have the capital to be arrogant."
For some reason, seeing Wang Yu's arrogant appearance, Li Yuan was overjoyed, worthy of being his daughter, and she was really mighty......
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin showed appreciative glances.
However, the ministers were angered by Wang Yu.
Xiao Yu: "When I first saw you, you were humble and well-behaved, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant after becoming a princess, relying on Your Majesty's favor."
"Today I will teach you a good lesson, so that you know that there is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
Chen Shuda: "You little girl, you are not very old, but your tone is not small, today I am desperately accused by others of bullying the small, and I want to teach you a lesson." ”
Pei Lian: "Your Majesty is so kind to you, but you humiliate his courtiers so much, it's simply ungrateful."
"Your Majesty is benevolent and kind-hearted, and you can't bear to reprimand you, so let me teach you well for Your Majesty......"
