The ministers were shocked when they heard this and looked at each other.
"The plan has been released? When?"
"Why didn't I know? Who made this plan?"
While the ministers were whispering, Xiao Yuchen had already asked someone to come up with several copies of the plan.
The palace people distributed it, and the ministers each had a copy.
The ministers opened it out of curiosity and saw rows of extremely neat and beautiful regular script.
"Ha! This word is so beautiful!" A minister couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yuchen smiled slightly, "Beautiful words don't matter. Proposals and plans are considered beautiful when they are well thought out and feasible!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers quickly went in to take a look.
Ji Xiang stood outside the hall, neither in a hurry to enter nor in a hurry to leave.
He clasped his hands and peeked inside with a smile.
The man on duty at the door from his hometown whispered, "Why don't you leave? It doesn't look like there's something urgent from the way you look."
Jixiang pursed his lips towards Li, "The things I came to report are almost the same as what happened inside."
"Let me see how these ministers react... It's an important matter, but it doesn't seem to be that urgent."
Ji Xiang was leisurely looking inside, at the ministers with their eyes widened and their mouths slightly open.
He felt inexplicably happy in his heart... Although he didn't understand government affairs, he felt that the emperor must have been prepared for the ministers' advice on selecting concubines!
The ministers, relying on their strength in numbers, still want to force the emperor to compromise?
Ji Xiang secretly smiled in his heart... I'm afraid they will be caught off guard by this new emperor!
"Absolutely not!" A minister inside suddenly exclaimed and knelt down.
Ji Xiang was secretly startled. He couldn't help but stand up straight and stretched out his ears.
Xiao Yuchen was not in a hurry, and his expression did not even change, "Why not? Why not?"
The minister hurriedly asked, "This plan actually says that both men and women will be legislated to be sent to school to learn literacy at the age of seven?"
"How can this be allowed? Boys and girls are not seated in the same seats at the age of seven! Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules if they are sent to school together?"
Xiao Yuchen said calmly, "Ai Qing, didn't you read carefully? Isn't it written above? In the same school, you can be in different classes. In the same class, you can sit in rows with a screen in the middle."
"This is not uncommon in the ancestry of the great families of our dynasty."
"Why don't you know anything about it, my dear? Are you pretending to be confused on purpose? Or are you too ignorant?"
This mouth is too poisonous!
Of course the minister is pretending to be confused...
But when Xiao Yuchen asked this, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head.
The other ministers thought that what he said was reasonable and that when he gained the upper hand... they followed suit and knelt down to remonstrate!
Who would have known that his fighting ability was not good at all. In one round, he was spitted out by Xiao Yuchen and returned with a red face.
The other ministers quickly lowered their heads and continued to look at the plans in hand, not wanting to be embarrassed with him.
The minister got up from the ground with a frown on his face.
Xiao Yuchen is firmly in the upper hand, but he is not satisfied. In war, he is best at taking advantage of victory to pursue victory.
"Education is the foundation of a country. It is far more important than how many sons I have given birth to!"
"This is to cultivate talents for the imperial court, so this matter should be left to the Ministry of Personnel."
When the minister of the Ministry of official affairs heard this, he was immediately attacked by the eyes of his colleagues.
The officials, unable to withstand the pressure from their colleagues, quickly bowed and said, "There are still many omissions in this plan, and the officials may not be able to handle it..."
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, he was not angry.
On the contrary, he was very happy and nodded, "That's right. First of all, with your knowledge, you are still far from knowing the great significance of this matter to me, the leader, and the world! Since you don't have a foresight, it is naturally difficult to do your best for this matter. .”
"Secondly, I am also not capable enough. I have no foresight, and naturally I do not have the courage to overcome difficulties. It is really not appropriate to leave this matter to you."
The officials wanted to breathe a sigh of relief...but their faces were burning.
This new emperor is not only decisive in his actions, but also has a bad mouth.
Xiao Yuchen said, "The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is getting old. Let's give him Xiaoyao Hou to take care of him in his old age! As for the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, I have a better candidate."
"I have an audience with Mr. Xuan Qi and Xiu Qi."
Other ministers were about to make a speech to persuade the Minister of Civil Affairs to stay, and begged the emperor to take back his order.
Although he was given a title... but the title of Marquis is just a false title with a salary. It sounds nice, but he has no real power at all!
It seems like a reward, but in reality it is a relegation!
The emperor held and stepped on this trick, it was really easy to play!
But before they could express any objection... they heard that the person who was going to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was actually Qi Xiu? !
Didn't Qi Xiu threaten to become an official many years ago?
Why did he come so quickly as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne? Isn't he afraid of hitting himself in the face?
Qi Xiu was originally waiting in the side hall, but as soon as the emperor made the announcement, he came in stride.
His hair is gray, but he is energetic. He looks younger and more energetic than most of the ministers present.
Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "Mr. Qi's body looks better than it did a few years ago!"
"It is Qi's blessing to be able to serve our emperor! Qi once threatened not to enter an official career due to poor health and chronic illnesses that kept recurring. He had ambitions but no ability to serve the country!"
"Now, thanks to the great kindness of the Queen! Not only has Qi recovered, but in the past year, he has become like a child again! The longer he lives, the younger he becomes!"
"If you don't dedicate this passion to the court and our emperor...then Qi will be a hypocritical villain! Therefore, Qi is willing to serve our emperor even if he has to die!"
When the adults heard this, they secretly breathed in, "Okay, I asked him to say all the good and bad things!"
He saved all the money and face!
Not only did he flatter the Queen, but everyone who listened to him had to say "loyalty"!
The Minister of Civil Affairs, who had just been dismissed from his post, winked wildly at his colleagues - they encouraged him to be the leader!
how? Now that he has been demoted, they don't speak up for him? What about benevolence and righteousness? What about camaraderie?
All the colleagues turned their faces away, either looking at the ground, the roof of the palace, or the pillars...but they didn't make eye contact with him!
It’s not that they are not interesting enough…
If anything, their mouths are like small-scale trolls.
Able to use words to force the emperor to compromise...
Then Qi Xiu is a big troll!
It’s not enough that he can squirt himself! He has so many followers!
Not to mention Daliang, he has countless admirers in Song, Chen and Qi!
So many literati blindly worship Qi Xiu! If Qi Xiu farts, they will all brag!
Who dares to provoke Qi Xiu? Then you won't be drowned in saliva?
Xiao Yuchen said, "Today, I appoint Qi Xiu as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Yu Fei as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Jiao Qi Shangshu and Zuo Shilang are fully responsible for the popularization of enlightenment education! Are you two confident in taking on this important responsibility?"
There was a moment of silence in the imperial study.
What followed was an uproar.
"Just saying, why is General Yu still standing outside the hall when Qi Xiu comes in?"
"I still thought in my heart, what does this have to do with General Yu?"
"A woman joins the officialdom? And she is directly promoted to the position of minister? Isn't this outrageous?"
"My emperor...is it too radical?"
The saddest thing is probably the former Minister of Civil Affairs...Who did he offend? He just followed Shangfeng and bowed.
If you refuse, it was Shangfeng who said so! He didn't say a word! I lost my black gauze hat, woo woo...
