Seeing Duke Wei and General Fu Guo glaring at each other in the court hall like two black-eyed roosters, Emperor Chu Ming could only cough lightly and remind him: "Gong Wei?"

When Wei Guogong came to his senses, he remembered that just now he had opposed the saint's entry into the court in front of His Majesty.

Seeing the strange looks from his colleagues around him, he knew that everyone had heard his son's gossip.

Wei Guogong was heartbroken, and suddenly he did not dare to continue to criticize the saint.

If the saint revealed something more violent in her heart, his son's reputation would be ruined! Even his old face has nowhere to go!

Thinking of this, Wei Guogong had to change his tone: "Your Majesty, I have the same opinion as Zuodu Yushi. The saint has a special status in Chu State and cannot be imprisoned by common sense. Therefore, Wei Chen also agrees with the saint's entry into the court to listen to politics. !”

I just hope that the saint will stop exposing his son’s embarrassing things!

Chu Siqing was shocked when he heard this.

[Really, how come this Wei Guogong is so inconsistent with what he says? Hurry up and get a few more people to oppose me going to court. I really don’t want to get up early! 】

Tu Qingchen glanced at her and thought: With a gossip like you here, who would dare to come forward?

Emperor Chu Ming raised the corner of his mouth: "Who else opposes the saint's entry into the court?"

The entire court suddenly fell into silence.

Many people are opposed to it in their hearts, but they dare not show it on their faces.

If you come forward at this time, it will definitely not end well.

With Zuodu Yushi and Wei Guogong in front of them, even if the ministers themselves have nothing to be ashamed of, they are afraid that the gossip of their relatives will be shaken out by the saint's inner voice!

For a while, no one dared to speak out in front of Emperor Chu Ming.

Chu Siqing was extremely disappointed.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chu Ming said: "Since there is no objection, the matter of the saint's entry into the court to listen to politics has been decided and shall not be mentioned again in the future."

Some ministers even said flatteringly: "The Emperor is a wise man."

Next, other matters started to be discussed in the court.

Chu Siqing was about to close his eyes when he suddenly heard someone say: "I want to impeach Xiao Wenying, the prefect of Lin'an."

This name sounded a bit familiar, and Chu Siqing quickly asked the system in his mind who this was.

The system said: [Xiao Wenying is Xiao Wenshu’s eldest brother. 】

Chu Siqing remembered that she had asked the system and found that Xiao Wenshu was gentle, generous and resourceful, and was a good match for the prince.

After Xiao Wenshu was designated as the Crown Princess, Ning Qingyan even pestered the Crown Prince. Their family must have been unwilling to do so.

She touched her fleshy chin and thought to herself: "I'm afraid this is for the quasi-princess. Could it be that Duke Cheng'en instigated it?" 】

When everyone heard the saint's voice, they couldn't help but have different thoughts.

Duke Chengen gritted his teeth secretly.

So what if it was him who instigated it? These things Xiao Wenying did are all true!

The impeaching censor also trembled, but continued: "Lin'an is experiencing a severe drought, and the people can no longer afford to eat, but Xiao Wenying allows grain merchants to drive up grain prices, carries out large-scale construction projects, and holds recreational activities. It’s simply heinous!”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers had their thoughts.

If Xiao Wenying really does these things that waste people and money, then An Guogong's position as the head of the country will be in doubt.

Emperor Chu Ming was also in a bit of a dilemma. He personally selected the daughter of Duke An Guo for the prince. If Xiao Wenying committed a serious crime, it would not be good for him and the prince's reputation!

Of course, disposal still has to be done. Compared with those false names, the people are the most important.

Emperor Chu Ming was about to speak when he heard his niece's voice.

[Isn’t this the famous three policies of desolate policy? This Xiao Wenying is really a rare talent! 】

Everyone was shocked when they heard the saint's voice and couldn't help but pricked up their ears curiously.

This Xiao Wenying did such shocking and ridiculous things in a famine year, and the saint actually thinks that he is a talent?

Is there any unknown inside story in this?

Before Chu Siqing traveled through time, she was a social worker. After get off work, she liked to watch short videos when she had nothing to do.

If she hadn't read some popular science about this, she might have thought that Xiao Wenying's conscience had been eaten by a dog.

At this time, hearing Xiao Wenying's actions, Chu Siqing remembered the explanation of similar cases in the short video.

[If you first raise the price of grain, many grain dealers will think it is profitable and ship a large amount of grain there. When a large amount of grain is hoarded and the supply exceeds demand, the price will naturally fall. 】

[The large-scale construction project is to use work in exchange for relief, so that the victims can support themselves, avoid being displaced, and build local towns. 】

[Isn’t organizing competitions and activities to develop tourism? There must have been many people who passed by, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people were another source of income for the victims. 】

The courtiers were all smart people with outstanding knowledge. Although they did not understand some words in the saint's voice, they generally understood the meaning.

This Xiao Wenying is not greedy and daring, nor is she crazy. On the contrary, she is smarter than everyone else.

These seemingly unbelievable policies can stabilize people's hearts and help the victims survive the famine.

If it weren't for the saint's voice, they would have wronged such a capable minister who cared about the people and knew people well!

Some ministers who did not dare to speak out of shame, but who were still opposed to the saint's entry into the government, could not help but let go of their prejudices at this time.

It’s not unacceptable for a saint to enter the court!

Emperor Chu Ming also relaxed his eyebrows after hearing this, and said, "What do you think of Xiao Wenying's matter?"

At that moment, a minister who had figured out the holy intention said: "Your Majesty, I think Xiao Wenying's move has its own reasons."

Then he expressed the points in the saint's heart again in similar words.

The other ministers were speechless.

It's just a trick, and you actually got the upper hand!

However, the person who does not agree with this is Duke Chengen.

Duke Cheng'en originally wanted to use Xiao Wenying's incident to make the Xiao family's reputation plummet. In this case, it would not be appropriate for the Xiao family to give the previously determined position of crown princess to the Xiao family.

Unexpectedly, the censor he instructed was resolved by the saint's voice as soon as he told the matter. How could he be willing to accept this? !

At that moment, Duke Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, the policies implemented by Xiao Wenying sound reasonable, but they may not really be effective."

Chu Siqing didn't know if he was just talking on paper, he just asked the system.

The system told her that Xiao Wenying's policy was indeed effective, and Lin'an was the least affected place in this famine.

Then the courtiers heard the saint's voice again.

[Of course it works. If you don’t believe it, the imperial court will send someone to investigate. It is best to let the surrounding local officials learn from Xiao Wenying’s policies. 】

Someone had taken the lead just now, and this time someone quickly said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, hearing is in vain and seeing is believing. Why not send an imperial envoy to Lin'an? If Xiao Wenying's move is really effective, other disaster-stricken places should be Learn this strategy.”

Chu Hongle's head was filled with dark thoughts.

Enough of you who imitate my daughter's speech! Don’t you have any ideas of your own? !
