Among the courtiers who were about to move, the first to come forward was Zhang Yuantai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, that is, Zhang Xiaowu's grandfather.

It's okay for others, he is the person appointed by the emperor to write the holy decree, he has to make a statement and let people know that although his Xiaoqi has a good time with Shao Yi, official affairs are official affairs, and he will not show favoritism.

Zhang Yuantai came out of the ranks, bowed down first, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know who you are commending when you are complimenting?" "Even if you have already guessed, you have to ask this question.

That's right, the emperor watched the reactions of the courtiers, and then he fell a tangled heart to the ground. The reaction of these people just now, he thought that he had gone to the wrong place, or that there was a problem with his expression.

(Your Majesty, courtiers, you are truthful, there is really something wrong with your expression!) ）

"Of course, it is the owner of Qingyun Zhai, the creator of the glass shop and the daughter of the Xia family, Xia Yanqing." Emperor Shi Shiran said.

"Your Majesty is cautious." Zhang Yuantai immediately fell to his knees.

At the same time, just as Zhang Yuantai hoped, many ministers rushed out at this time, hulala knelt down in a large area, all with their heads on the ground, excitedly repeating "Your Majesty is cautious".

The emperor glanced to the side, Sun Congshan took a step forward, swept the dust in his hand, and the word "quiet" came out, and the voice was called a loud one, and that one was long.

The hall was silent for an instant.

It's been a long time since this grandfather Sun showed everyone his loud and long voice.

When Emperor Qingyuan first succeeded to the throne, various forces in the court were intertwined and complicated, and Sun Congshan did not use this kind of voice to shout. And once this sound is heard, someone in the ten will be unlucky.

"I don't know what the problem is with the Ministry of Rites writing the holy decree?" The hall was quiet before the emperor continued to speak.

Although Zhang Yuantai had calculations in his heart, how did he know that the degree of opposition to praising a woman who had left the emperor was annoying to the emperor was no less than their opposition to Emperor Taishan's enshrinement.

Phew, Zhang Yuantai is another agitator, you must not think so, in case you are not careful, say the muttering in your heart...... When did the emperor say that he was going to climb Mount Tai to seal Zen?

There are only two results for him to open his mouth. One is to remind the emperor to seal Zen, and in the future, he will be a traitorous minister who replaces the old ghost of Zhan Kangwen; The other is that the emperor was furious, as a courtier, he actually framed the emperor for no reason.

He didn't dare to bear any of them.

But the opposition has been expressed just now, so there is no reason to retreat, so I have to tell the truth.

Zhang Yuantai kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Xia's Yanqing is just a woman, and now she is a businessman." Whether it is making glass or dealing in glass, the purpose is to make money. Not only should they not be able to ascend to the hall of elegance, but they should also be suppressed and their momentum should be curbed. As for His Majesty's decree to praise, Weichen thought it was too much. ”

Zhang Yuantai said it as gently as possible, and the decision-making power is still the emperor's.

But there is a bold person beside him, who wants to exhaust his family wealth and take many exams to achieve fame, and he is very angry that a businesswoman has won this honor.

Now that someone took the lead in opposing it, this person also kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, people in business have always regarded the accumulation of wealth as the first priority, and they value profit over righteousness. When they act, how can they say that they will rejuvenate the country and benefit the people? Wechen implored His Majesty to retract his order. ”

The emperor turned his gaze to Zhan Kangwen, "What does Zhan Aiqing think?" ”

Zhan Kangwen didn't have a sense of joy at all, but felt that he was now roasted on the fire.

"Listen, Weichen, the emperor seems to be praising the Xia family's craftsman talent."

He Shouli, who was on the side, heard this, and couldn't help but sigh, Zhan Kangwen was really cunning, and in the face of the emperor's questioning, he only pointed out the key points of the emperor's speech, so that others could understand it again.

The emperor was quite satisfied with Zhan Kangwen's answer, and then turned his gaze to everyone, "It turns out that when I speak, everyone Aiqing doesn't listen." ”

And all the people of the temple fell to their knees again.

The minister who asked the emperor to take back his order hurriedly kowtowed, where didn't he listen? Can he hear clearly?

"Your Majesty, of course the ministers heard His Majesty's words, and it is an indisputable fact that the Xia family chose to do business. Even if he is also a craftsman, Zuo is just a business that is driven by others and eats by hard work and craftsmanship. If Your Majesty wants to reward, give a little money and an object, and the phrase 'the important general of the country, rejuvenating the country and benefiting the people' is really excessive. I hope that Your Majesty will be enlightened. ”

The emperor glanced at He Shouli and the others with low eyebrows, and then looked at Zhan Kangwen who was like sitting on wax, finally having such a clear-eyed person, he was really embarrassed to push him out to block the sword again.

"Is the identity of a craftsman really as lowly as you say?" The emperor's tone was light and quite displeased, "According to legend, in ancient times, there was a nest clan, and people had a place to live, and they avoided being killed by the attack of jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, can that be the same? And don't you also say, that's a legend, what life is it?

The emperor's tone remained unchanged, and he continued, "After that, there were skillful boats, Helian combs, Xi Zhong cars, and ploughing and weaving water conservancy, all of which came from the hands of craftsmen. If there are no craftsmen, how can there be food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the people of the world?

It is precisely because of the peasants who cultivate, the craftsmen who work, and the merchants who run the business that the scholars have a safe place. The phrase drinking water and thinking of the source is given to all Aiqing, is it not too much? ”

There was silence in the hall, drinking water and thinking about the source, has it actually risen to this height?

If they object, they will all be ungrateful.

But there is really no way to refute what the emperor said.

Zhan Kangwen and a few courtiers who were good at speculation were in this situation, and they already wanted to shout "Emperor Shengming".

Even if they don't approve of the emperor's remarks in their hearts, they can see that the matter is a foregone conclusion, and they can brush up the emperor's favor, so why not do it?

However, the atmosphere in the venue is not right, I am afraid that as soon as they say this, they will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Being attacked by colleagues is a trivial matter, if they grab the handle and let the emperor's words make waves again, it will be more than worth the loss.

So, in this atmosphere, the emperor waved his sleeves, "The cabinet department will arrange to supervise the production of the plaque, and the holy decree to praise the Xia family is still drafted by the Ministry of Rites, and the content is according to what I just said, it must play a role in telling the people of the world, so that people are committed to craftsmanship and innovation." ”

It turns out that I have to tell the people of the world to work the craftsmen, this is to change the sky?

The four members of the cabinet and Zhang Yuantai were very unenergetic, but the emperor's words were not finished, "In addition, Xia Zixi of Yunshan Academy has a smart mind, and has realized a new notation of numbers, and applied it to simple calculations, and has made great contributions to mathematics and arithmetic. Xia Zixi was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and was awarded the title of Doctor of Arithmetic. ”

Xia Zixi? Who? Why does it sound so familiar?

There is also Yunshan Academy, everyone thought of Xia Ke at this time, and turned around, all eyes glared at him.
