"I think about it."
Princess Qinghe said so, she didn't leave Qi Wang behind, and sent someone to send him out.
Princess Qinghe was the only one left in the study. She stood in front of the magnificent picture of mountains and rivers with a dazed expression on her face.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the study room, and then a figure in a goose yellow dress came in from outside the door, but Princess Qinghe was in a trance, and didn't notice anyone coming in until the man walked behind her, lightly After calling her softly, Princess Qinghe came back to her senses.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
When Princess Qinghe was busy, only Wanwan could directly enter the study room without communication. The two were inseparable, and only Wanwan knew about Princess Qinghe's emotional changes. She looked at Princess Qinghe worriedly, and spoke softly. asked a question.
What Qi Wang said just now made Princess Qinghe have other ideas. She is outstanding in learning, no less than those literati. It is precisely because she knows more truths that she will suffer more.
It's just that in the past, no one told her that women can also show their talents. Although she is a royal princess, she seems to be aloof, but in fact, only she knows how desolate and lonely her heart is.
What Qi Wang said opened the door to a new world for Princess Qinghe, she was a little moved, but she didn't know whether she should take that step.
In the past, there has never been a precedent for a princess to participate in government affairs. In this world, a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, and a woman's duty is to take care of her husband and children, and take care of housework. No one thinks that being an official and doing things for the people is what women should do matter.
Princess Qinghe was at a loss, she didn't know who to confide these words to, so she told Wanwan all of them, hoping to hear some of her opinions.
"Tonight, what should I do?"
Although Princess Qinghe felt that her talents were outstanding and not inferior to those men in the slightest, she had never shown her talents. She was full of confusion and hesitation in her heart, and she didn't know how to make a choice.
Seeing Princess Qinghe, who has always been proud and confident, showing such a confused expression at this moment, Wanwan took a step forward to hold Princess Qinghe's hand, and the warmth in her palm was continuously transmitted to Qinghe through the handover of the two In the princess's body, Princess Qinghe only felt that the cold body was slowly returning to warmth.
"Princess, you have to believe in yourself. Wanwan knows that the princess is not an ordinary person. You definitely don't want to spend your life in such a mediocre way. Your character, talent, knowledge and knowledge are not inferior to others, not to mention Mr. Qi is not what you admire ?Since he said you can do it, then you must do it. Why don’t you give it a try, even if you fail, it’s okay, Wanwan will always be by your side.”
"Wanwan believes that there is nothing in this world that can trouble the princess, as long as you are willing to do it, then all difficulties will not be difficult."
What the beloved said seemed to give Princess Qinghe a shot in the arm. All the previous hesitation disappeared, and the expression on her face gradually became firmer. Seeing Wanwan still looking at her with trust Herself, Princess Qinghe's heart moved, and she took her into her arms.
Wanwan lay obediently in Princess Qinghe's arms, listening to her powerful heartbeat ringing in her ears, and her voice came from above her head.
"Even if it's for Wanwan you, I still have to make some achievements. I can't let you down Wanwan's trust in me."
Wanwan laughed and gave a soft hum. She knew that the woman she really liked had talents and abilities that were not inferior to any man in the world. As long as she was given a chance, she would definitely be able to soar into the sky.
-------------------
Princess Qinghe was also a resolute person. After confirming her thoughts, she didn't delay anything. Before it was dark and the palace gates were not closed, she ordered her servants to put on a carriage and directly entered the palace.
It's going to be August soon, it's rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are frequent floods. The booklets from the various states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River are handed over to the capital like snowflakes. The emperor is very busy with these things.
Jiangnan is a rich place, so it stands to reason that there should be no shortage of money, but all the magistrates are crying and complaining that they have no money, waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds to repair the dams. The emperor had a headache, but it was a matter of state affairs, and he had to watch it, not to mention feeling depressed.
Knowing that Princess Qinghe had entered the palace, the emperor took the opportunity to push Zhezi aside and announced that Princess Qinghe would come in.
"Qinghe, why are you here?"
Seeing that it was getting dark, and the gates of the palaces were about to be closed and locked, at this point, I was afraid that she would have to stay in the palace for the night, but although she had a palace in the palace, she was a princess. After living in the palace, he seldom stayed overnight in the palace.
What did she come into the palace all of a sudden
Princess Qinghe did not hide her intention of coming, and directly expressed her thoughts.
At this time, the emperor was drinking tea. After hearing Princess Qinghe's words, the emperor couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth. He was so choked that he coughed repeatedly, and his handsome face turned red.
Seeing this, Princess Qinghe hurriedly came up to her, raised her hand and patted the emperor on the back.
"Brother Huang, my younger sister just wanted to help you solve your problems. What are you doing with such a big reaction? My younger sister also learned to read and write with the Taifu since she was a child. The emperor and the imperial father also praised my younger sister for her good articles. Younger sister just wants to make her life more meaningful, so why should Brother Huang do this?"
At this moment, the emperor finally regained his strength. He took a deep breath, looked Princess Qinghe up and down, and after pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Qinghe, I can understand your thoughts, but don't you think it's not right for you to say these things suddenly, can't you just be your rich princess?"
My own imperial sister has always been well-behaved in the past, and never thought about these messy things. Why this time, she suddenly seemed to be possessed by a demon and wanted to become an official in the court? You must know that since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official. What is Princess Qinghe trying to do
Of course, because Princess Qinghe and himself are of the same mother, the emperor did not suspect that Princess Qinghe had other thoughts, but felt that what she said now was not in line with her past behavior habits.
Princess Qinghe took a few steps back slowly, then walked aside and knelt down directly to the emperor.
"Brother Huang, sister Chen has always been ignorant in the past. She was drunk and dreamy every day, and her life was incomparably luxurious, but sister Chen's heart was always empty. As a royal princess, sister Chen has enjoyed so many honors that belong to the princess. My sister is restless, what do you want to do to help brother Huang?"
There are some things that are not enough to just talk. If you don’t show your ability, the emperor may think that you did it on a whim. Since I came here this time, I came here with the intention of breaking the boat. After expressing my feelings , Princess Qinghe looked up at the emperor.
"The imperial brother Chengmei and the imperial brother are direct brothers and sisters of the same mother. In this world, the person that the imperial brother needs to guard against is also the minister. The minister knows that the dark tide is surging in the court recently, the floods in the Jiangnan area, weaving, salt, etc. The business needs someone to clean it up, the emperor has been worrying all the time, and feels that he can't find anyone he trusts to help, and my sister is willing to be the imperial envoy to share the emperor's worries and problems."
Princess Qinghe's words were clear and coherent, and she told all about the emperor's recent predicament. Seeing her like this, the expression on the emperor's face gradually changed. For the first time, he looked at his younger sister in a different way.
Princess Qinghe's talent has always been outstanding, the emperor remembered that the late emperor even praised Princess Qinghe, saying that she is unfortunately not a prince, but if she were a prince, she would be a good king who can assist the emperor.
Just like what Princess Qinghe said, the emperor has also been troubled by these incidents recently, and he doesn't know who to send as the imperial envoy.
It's not that the emperor doesn't have any available ministers. After all, as the emperor, he has been on the throne for so many years, and he still has a few confidant ministers. But even so, the emperor can't completely trust his confidantes.
After all, the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and the emperor knows that the officials there must have connections with the ministers in the capital. Otherwise, a few officials should not be able to hold the entire Jiangnan officialdom in their hands.
The money for the construction of the dams is allocated every year, but every year when the summer is approaching, officials in those places in the south of the Yangtze River will ask the court for money.
Jiangnan has always been a rich place. The Jiangnan weaving factory and the salt industry are all located there. Not to mention anything else, the annual taxes and fees are a large amount of income. Logically speaking, Jiangnan should be the place where the emperor does not need to worry about money. This place should also collect the most money from the national treasury, but this is not the case. The Jiangnan area does pay a lot of taxes every year, but the same goes for the same amount of money every year. In contrast, sometimes the state treasury even has to pay money to the Jiangnan area.
The emperor doesn't want to be so passive anymore, the atmosphere in the Jiangnan officialdom must be cleared up, he is an emperor and shouldn't be deceived by them.
However, the candidate for the imperial envoy sent to clear up the atmosphere in Jiangnan's official circles has stumped the emperor. This person must be upright and honest, and he will not be easily corrupted and bought by the officials there. He must stand 100% on the emperor's side. Otherwise, he is not going to win over the Jiangnan officialdom, but to give away the head there.
It's just that he hadn't made up his mind on who to choose, so Princess Qinghe stepped forward, wanting to solve the emperor's problems.
Putting aside other concerns, Princess Qinghe should be the most suitable candidate. She is his own sister, so there is no need to have any doubts about the emperor's loyalty, and more importantly, she is just a princess. No matter how much achievement you achieve, it will eventually be counted on the emperor.
The emperor doesn't have to worry about Princess Qinghe's great achievements, and doesn't have to worry that she will turn against him after gathering the power in the south of the Yangtze River.
Thinking of this, the emperor slowly calmed down. He looked at Princess Qinghe who was kneeling below, and his eyes became sharper, as if he wanted to see through Princess Qinghe from the inside out.
And Princess Qinghe knelt at the bottom, looking at the emperor calmly, she said neither evasive nor overbearing.
"Brother Huang, if Brother Huang is willing to trust my younger sister, my younger sister will definitely not disappoint my brother's trust."
The study room became quiet. The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. Princess Qinghe knelt there with her back straight. She didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but based on what she knew about her brother, the emperor Brother will definitely agree.
Facts have proved that Princess Qinghe's idea is indeed right. After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor finally agreed to Princess Qinghe's request, and made her an imperial envoy, and asked her to go to the south of the Yangtze River immediately.
"Qinghe, don't let down the trust of the emperor's brother in you. Although the emperor's brother is now the ninth-five-year-old, there are not many people available around him. Those people have all kinds of thoughts. When encountering things, they The first thing to consider is yourself, you are the royal sister of the emperor, we are brothers and sisters connected by the blood of the same mother, the emperor believes that you will help the emperor wholeheartedly."
Princess Qinghe didn't expect that this matter would fall to him so easily. Until now, she still had a very unreal feeling. After hearing what the emperor said, Princess Qinghe immediately calmed down and nodded with a serious expression.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, Qinghe will definitely not disappoint Brother Huang's trust."
This matter was settled in this way, and when she went to court the next day, Princess Qinghe also stood in the court hall. Like King Su, she stood at the forefront, and Qi Yuanhang and other first-rank officials were not far away.
In the past, apart from the fact that the emperor was young and the empress dowager had to listen behind the curtain, no woman had ever been in the court hall. Now Princess Qinghe suddenly stood in the court hall, and she was still at the forefront of the officials. The ministers discussed in a low voice, wondering why Princess Qinghe appeared here.
However, no matter what they said, Princess Qinghe stood there with concern, accepting all kinds of gazes from everyone.
After the emperor arrived, the comments of those officials disappeared, and they all bowed and saluted, shouting long live.
This is the first time that Princess Qinghe stands in the court hall. She stands here together with other men, listening to the tide-like sound of long live reverberating in the hall. The vigorous heart began to beat violently at this moment.
Starting today, she will live a completely different life from the past. The door to a new world will open in front of her soon. She will enter another brand new world and live a completely different life from the past.
However, Princess Qinghe is a royal princess after all, and she has seen many big scenes. Although she has never been in the court, she is extremely calm both in her expression and her actions. He looked calm and breezy.
The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced his will, appointing Princess Qinghe as the imperial envoy to replace the emperor to Jiangnan to inspect the officialdom.
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, but the emperor's words set off a huge wave among the ministers. Those ministers who attacked each other because of political differences and refused to obey each other became unprecedentedly united this time When they got up, they stood up one after another, begging the emperor to take back their orders.
As the head of civil servants, Qi Yuanhang felt that he had to let the emperor understand that women are far superior to men in terms of IQ and ability, and they can only deal with the affairs of the rear house. Only men can do these things in the officialdom, the emperor You shouldn't do such a foolish thing just because you love Princess Qinghe.
"Please withdraw your orders. Your Majesty's behavior is hard to convince the public. Princess Qinghe is just a woman. How do you understand the important affairs of the country? Official matters are not child's play. The Emperor should not indulge Princess Qinghe like this."
"The rooster sits in the morning, and the yin and yang are reversed. This is a sign of chaos in the country. Please don't be so confused, Your Majesty."
Qi Yuanhang said sonorously, then bent down deeply, begging the emperor to take back his order.
King Su, who had always been at odds with Qi Yuanhang, did not make trouble this time. After Qi Yuanhang finished speaking, King Su also bent down and begged, the emperor should not be so confused.
The representatives of the two civil servants and generals spoke out to obstruct, and the other officials also knelt down in unison, begging the emperor not to be so confused.
Looking around, all the officials in the entire hall knelt down, and only Princess Qinghe, who was wearing a purple and red robe, stood there. conspicuous.
So many people objected to Princess Qinghe being the imperial envoy, but Princess Qinghe wanted to secure this position.
She raised her voice and said: "The sages have said: 'There is no way in the world, yin and yang are in balance, and all things come into being', Mr. Qi, you have read the books of sages and sages, and you probably don't know what this sentence means. Although I am a woman, But I never think that I am inferior to a man. Did the sage ever say that women are inferior to men? Did you ever make you despise women? Brother Shengming, since I have been appointed as the imperial envoy, I think I agree with my ability. You are so opposed , because I think Brother Huang is that confused person who doesn’t even know the words “House of the Capable”, and I need you to remind me and tell Brother Huang how to make a choice?”
Princess Qinghe's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
The emperor had issued a decree to appoint Princess Qinghe as the imperial envoy, but they joined forces to oppose the emperor's decision. Could it be that the emperor didn't even have the right to appoint an imperial envoy
After these words were spoken, all the ministers changed their countenance, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I don't dare, I have absolutely no intention of doing so."
Before the emperor opened his mouth, Princess Qinghe spoke first: "Since you don't have that intention, then you don't want to get up, don't you want to continue to coerce the emperor to make him obey your orders?"
Who would have thought that Princess Qinghe has no other skills, and she has one set of skills for putting on hats, so how dare the ministers take the blame? There are some things that everyone knows well. If it is really clear, it will be of no benefit to anyone. In the past, no matter what the big guy thought in his heart, as long as it was not a matter of life and death, he would leave a way for the other party, but Princess Qinghe is good. She came up with a fistful of punches, completely unruly, and these ministers were directly stunned by her.
It is precisely because of this that Princess Qinghe's appointment as an imperial envoy has been settled.
