Chapter 186
The man shouted angrily, "That's enough! It seems that I have spoiled you too much and made you forget your own status. As a concubine, you should know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You should take care of yourself."
After that, he rolled his sleeves and left.
Mo Feifei stood outside the door, her eyes watching her nose, her nose watching her heart, as if she heard nothing going on inside.
The man walked to the door and saw Mo Feifei paused. He looked inside and sighed, "Now that you are back, comfort your master."
Mo Feifei lowered her head and nodded. Seeing the man walking away, she walked into the hall and saw Concubine Jing'an sitting in front of the window, staring out in a daze.
Concubine Jing'an seemed to sense Mo Feifei's arrival and whispered, "Am I wrong to let Jin'er fight and let He'er be free?"
Mo Feifei stood behind him and was silent for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, this is not wrong. It's just that although the Third Prince has the greatest reputation among all the princes, he lacks a lot of experience in appearing in the eyes of the people."
Zhao He has been guarding the border for the country for several years, so he is naturally more popular among the people. This is why Your Majesty does not want Zhao He to be just an auxiliary minister.
Although Zhao Jin had the highest popularity in the court and was the most competitive prince, and had no shortcomings in many aspects, he was rarely involved in major cases, so he appeared in the eyes of the people mostly with a reputation for being virtuous.
Concubine Jing'an picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "So I should let Jin'er appear in the eyes of the people with the help of the case to create momentum. But recently, except for the turmoil on the border, the interior of our dynasty is peaceful, and there is no opportunity for him to appear."
Mo Feifei's mouth twitched when she heard this. Her master was still as "naive" as ever. How could Da Zhao be a prosperous era? It was just that the people under him concealed the truth, or that those who suffered did not dare to report it to the authorities.
"There is an opportunity right now. I still remember that the granddaughter that the General of the Cavalry found had previously proposed that the Third Prince could investigate the corruption case, but due to many reasons, it was not successful in the end."
Concubine Jing'an: "Oh? That's still a chance. But the corruption case involves a lot of people. What if the ministers who originally supported Jin'er defected because of this? If there is a plague, let Jin'er go to appease and preside over the situation, but now peace and prosperity is much better than a disaster."
Mo Feifei looked at the master in front of her who kept muttering, and couldn't help but hold her forehead in her heart. How could the Pei family, which was so complicated, raise a master who was both simple and complex, like a Tai Chi of yin and yang.
She brought up this matter not only to help the Third Prince, but also to use this matter to do Guo Xin a favor.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is a prince, so although the support of the ministers is necessary, the approval of His Majesty is more important. And a thorough investigation of the corruption case does not require a thorough investigation, as long as it involves some branches of the aristocratic families, it is enough to stop."
Concubine Jing'an: "What you said does make sense. The aristocratic families have been in the court for many years, and their roots are already deep. We only need to cut off some branches and leaves to achieve your majesty's wish to decentralize power, and we can also cut off the corrupt officials who are most directly in contact with the people and win the hearts of the people."
Suddenly remembering something, he blinked and turned to look at Mo Feifei behind him, revealing gossip: "I remember that you and He Er were quite close. I heard that he had a lover and he often wrote to him when he was guarding the border."
……
It was another morning court session, and the court officials in charge of various departments submitted reports one after another.
The fourth uncle was very nervous with his mother's order in mind. Since he entered the court, he only wanted to remain unknown and never dared to speak in the morning court. Now he had to introduce his niece, and the tablet in his hand was covered with sweat.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar shrill voice resounded throughout the hall: "If you have a petition, please come forward. If you don't, please leave the court."
Hearing this, Fourth Uncle He walked out of the line of officials in small steps, came to the middle, and shouted: "I have something to say. My niece has developed a new type of colored glaze in Suining City, which is a hundred times better than the colored glaze of the current dynasty. I want to present it to Your Majesty for a look."
Colored glass is a rare treasure. The technology of making colored glass in the Jokhang Dynasty was really backward. However, in order to meet the needs of dignitaries, it was necessary to purchase it from neighboring countries. Therefore, neighboring countries earned a lot of money from the Jokhang Dynasty by using colored glass.
If they could produce the colored glaze themselves, they would save a lot of expenses and could also earn money from other countries, which would be a huge income!
Whoever is in charge knows how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are
Thinking of this, the Minister of Revenue spoke first, "I wonder if the Minister of Personnel has brought this rare item?" Then he turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if this colored glaze is really developed by our Dazhao, it will be a huge income every day!"
The man in the yellow robe sitting at the top said, "Minister of Personnel, please show me what you are talking about."
"Since this glass is precious and fragile, I did not bring it here, but my niece is waiting outside the palace with it."
The man in the yellow robe glanced at the eunuch beside him, who immediately shouted, "Call the niece of the Minister of Personnel."
The other officials in the hall stared at the polished stone slabs. This was the first time that a woman was allowed to attend the morning court, which was against the rules!
Although the current emperor has been committed to improving the status of women, he has not allowed women to be involved in political affairs due to pressure from all sides. However, now he has allowed the niece of the Minister of Personnel to enter this hall!
Even if he did not come in as a subject, but only entered the palace to present something, it was still a breakthrough. Now that this has been opened, will Your Majesty have to speak up to fight for a path for women to enter the officialdom through the imperial examinations in the future?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Although the ministers thought so in their hearts, no one dared to refute His Majesty. After all, if the Liuli was real, it would definitely be a fortune-making item, so they could naturally get a share of it.
So he cursed in his heart but did not show it on his face.
"The niece of the Minister of Personnel."
Guo Xin wore a waist-length veil to cover his face, lowered his head, held a brocade box half as tall as a person, walked into the hall, and saluted, saying: "Guo Xin greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
“No need for the formalities.” The man in the yellow robe motioned to the person beside him to bring the brocade box.
Looking at the colorful glass vase in the brocade box, the man was speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please take a look too."
Then he looked at His Highness's Guo Xin and asked, "Did you develop this colored glaze?"
He had an impression of this little girl, as he had seen her at a previous palace banquet. She was the girl who could make the Sixth Brother obedient. Later, she came up with the craftsman's method. She could be said to be a remarkable person.
"I have found craftsmen who are capable of developing this thing. Now these craftsmen are my people, so they can be considered as developed by me. But I am offering this thing to you for something."
"Oh?" The man in yellow robe became interested. Apart from Jing'an, no one had ever dared to ask him for anything in all the years he had been sitting in this position.
