Chapter 40 The princess is not a good match (39)

On the second day at the court, Su Yan said that he would make Liu Yu the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, I personally think that although Mr. Liu has meritorious service, his meritorious service is not enough to make him a prime minister. What's more, the Liu family has been guilty of treason."

"Subsidiary"

A woman wearing a red official uniform walked out of the queue with a sneer on her face and said, "Why is it inappropriate? Your Majesty didn't even care about this. It's just that the ministers didn't let go of this."

"Chen Yi thought that it was so bitter and cold in Liangzhou that Master Liu stayed there for three years and spread women's education to various places. His achievements will last forever. How can he not be the prime minister?"

A white-faced official stood up, handed over his hand to Zheng Ran and said: "The position of prime minister is so important. Master Liu has certainly made meritorious service, but how can a woman afford it? From now on, men have always been the prime minister."

As soon as these words came out, another woman with a cold temperament came out and snorted: "Is there any example of a woman becoming an official in the past? I didn't expect that now, my lord, you still stay in the past. You look like a white-faced scholar. I don't think you have time to read. It's just a book from a sage. Why don't you take off this official robe as soon as possible and go home to farm."

"You, you, you..." He blushed and couldn't say a word.

"It's inappropriate in the first place. His Majesty shows mercy to a woman as an official, let alone a position as important as Prime Minister." A slightly older male official said sternly.

"What's wrong with a woman?" he said sternly, and the woman also raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of solemnity.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Ministers, why do you need to say so much? Your Majesty has a gap in his heart."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, all bowing their heads and waiting for Su Yan's answer.

There were both men and women standing below, but the women seemed to outnumber the men.

In the past, they could live in harmony, but today they can completely see the contradiction between the two and refuse to give in to each other.

Su Yan sat on the dragon chair and said slowly: "When did I say that I would discuss this with you?"

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and even her tone of voice did not change, but everyone could feel the atmosphere changing silently.

Three years after taking the throne, Su Yan's momentum is stronger than before.

With a smile on her lips, Liu Yu Shi Shiran saluted and said, "Thank you for your majesty's appreciation. I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

"So good."

She leaned back on the chair, her eyes half-opened, unable to distinguish her emotions or anger, and looked down, "All ministers have passed various assessments. Don't let me hear anyone say that women are unworthy. "

"Follow your Majesty's orders." The ministers bowed their hands and replied.

Taohong, who was standing on one side, looked at Su Yan's face and said loudly: "If there is something going on, go back to court."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Autumn is passing quietly, and the wind blowing brings a bit of winter chill.

After going to court, Taohong went to Dongchang.

"Sir, why do you have time to come today?"

As soon as he entered, someone immediately greeted him.

"Take a few people and follow me."

There seemed to be no emotion or anger in his calm voice, but there was a hint of indifference that would repel people thousands of miles away.

After receiving the order, they had no doubts. Such things had become commonplace since the establishment of Dongchang.

I am even more worried that Dongchang was established to do such a thing.

But today, someone took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and whispered: "Sir, His Majesty has given more and more power. Have you ever thought about it..."

His expression showed no emotion or anger, he just lowered his head and frowned and turned the jade ring finger on his hand, turning it again and again.

The man actually thought that he really had such thoughts, and joy appeared on his face.

Taohong suddenly laughed softly, and laughter came from his throat.

Holding his neck with one hand, veins popped out in his usually thin arms, and he actually lifted him up.His face turned red due to lack of oxygen and he had difficulty breathing: "My lord, my lord..."

The feet in the air were kicking feebly.

He spoke calmly, with a smile on his face: "Who gave you the courage to sow a wedge between me and His Majesty?"

The hands gradually tightened.

When he let go again, the person on the ground had no breath.

He looked cold and put his hands behind his back.

But after a moment, someone came forward and dragged the body down. His fingertips slowly played with the green jade ring on his hand: "Check where he is from."

"Yes."

The skylight shone into his pale pupils, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.

Such news has actually reached his ears, and some people have come to him seeking cooperation.

What about Your Majesty?

Is there anyone around you who is afraid of mentioning him, wanting His Majesty to doubt him, be afraid of him, or kill him?

The color of his brown eyes became lighter.

In the study room of Shangshu Mansion.

"Master Chu, you are the only one who can speak in the court now."

"Yes, yes, with Su Yan ascending the throne, the last rebellion purged most of the ministers. In the past three years, Su Yan has reused eunuchs and established a dongchang. Now he has completely recalled Liu Yu. , if we are still like this, Dongchang will definitely eradicate us soon."

"That's right, then Dongchang is Su Yan's dog. He will bite whoever he catches."

"What's more important is that almost half of the people in the court are women. If this continues, we may not have a foothold."

"Master Chu, we will do whatever you say."

"That's right, Mr. Chu, please make up your mind."

The desk was full of people, discussing in a flurry of words. Everyone had panic on their faces, and several of them were those who opposed Liu Yu becoming the prime minister in the court today.

The person sitting on the main seat only drank a few sips of tea. Sitting there, he never leaned back on the backrest. Instead, his back was still, there was no unnecessary expression on his face, and his posture was steady and calm.

"My lords, please do not be anxious, because it is useless to be anxious."

He was steady, and as soon as the words came out, the whole room fell silent.

"Master Chu, what are you doing?" He became even more panicked.

Lieutenant Chu stroked his beard and lay flat: "I disagreed with what you said earlier, and although women are given priority, your majesty does not treat all the daughters here equally."

"Besides, how do you want to fight? Aren't those previous lessons enough?" He picked up the tea cup and blew on the hot air: "If you talk about rebellion, the smell of blood in the palace has not dissipated. Do you believe it or not? Come to my house. The news has already been passed to His Majesty by Dongchang."

He held the cup and warmed his hands and said quietly.

Someone even said with an incomprehensible look: "Then Taohong is sitting in the East Factory. His Majesty has given him such power. What if he is allowed to take another step forward?"

Everyone looked at him, and he looked at them without giving in.

“This bold and somewhat absurd idea was actually adopted by everyone.

Chu Shangshu glanced at the screen hidden in the dark, frowned and reprimanded: "Do you really think he is so stupid that he would betray His Majesty with just a few words from you?"

He lowered his head unwillingly.

Someone hammered his hand angrily: "Is there nothing we can do?"
