In the morning of the second day, many people were admonishing the officials for the appointment of female officials.
A censor jumped out first and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you let the Huang family become an official, wouldn't it be like a hen Si Chen, causing trouble in the court?"
Another person echoed: "Wei Chen agrees, Mr. Huang was kicked out of the house by his mother-in-law before, maybe it was because of his bad conduct!"
Another person said: "Although the brocade courtyard is in charge of weaving matters, and the person in charge is only of the sixth rank, it is not something that a lowly woman like Huang can do!"
…
The courtiers would object to women becoming officials, and Emperor Chu Ming also expected this.
But I didn't expect that their reaction would be so violent and they would slander Huang so much. It's really pedantic!
Tu Qingchen and Chu Siqing's faces didn't look good either.
These stubborn old men!
King Yu couldn't help but retorted: "Everyone! You must know that I, a Da Chu woman, am not humble!"
He said loudly: "Do you still remember that fifty years ago, the first saint was born, and she reformed internal affairs and defended against powerful enemies, and that's why Dachu became as powerful as it is today!"
These old bastards!
Don't think he didn't hear it. These guys were not only talking about Huang's appointment, they were also alluding to his daughter!
For a moment, the courtiers fell silent.
Uh...why did Prince Yu mention the Saint?
How pitiful they are, they really have no disrespect towards the saint!
The person who spoke before quickly added: "Huang is just an ordinary woman, how can she be compared with the saint..."
Holy girl, I absolutely have the utmost respect for you.
You, please don’t pull my pigtails!
Chu Siqing had already asked the system in her mind, and at this moment she couldn't help but said angrily in her heart: "It turns out it was Mrs. Zhenguo who instigated it!" 】
[Her younger brother is Pang Ming, the former head of Zhijinyuan. Huang Manxiang was imprisoned with a cane. He was still unhappy, so he went to the censor to give him advice! 】
Tu Qingchen silently applauded her in her heart.
Yes, that's it, these stupid guys who demean women, find out all of you!
All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the saint did not come towards them.
The Duke of Zhenguo suddenly felt a little weak in his legs after being called upon.
He and his wife mentioned in front of him that they wanted to impeach Huang, but he did not agree!
When Pang Ming was beaten with a cane and imprisoned, Mrs. Zhenguo was furious and went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for help.
She thought that with her own reputation and her daughter's status as the second princess, Jing Zhaoyin would definitely let her go.
Unexpectedly, Lu Huaiying ignored her at all, and later the emperor actually issued a decree to appoint Huang Manxiang as the new director of the Brocade Academy!
This is a direct poke into the lungs of Mrs. Zhenguo!
Mrs. Zhen Guogong immediately wanted her husband to remonstrate with her. Unexpectedly, Zhen Guogong did not agree. As a result, she found someone herself!
The more Chu Siqing thought about it, the angrier he became: "This Pang Ming has no talent. When he saw Huang Manxiang's new loom and technique, he wanted to take it for himself and regard it as his own merit!" 】
[Not only was Huang Manxiang not allowed to teach her techniques to the people, she was also imprisoned in the house and beaten every day, which is really cruel! 】
[All the officials of Zhijinyuan were led astray by him! All of them only know how to accept bribes and don’t care about the textile industry at all! 】
After roughly understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the courtiers couldn't help but look at Duke Zhen.
You brother-in-law is so brave!
Under the emperor's feet, how dare you privately imprison and beat good people, completely flouting the laws of Dachu!
It can be seen that your brother-in-law always protects him!
The Duke of Zhen wanted to shout loudly: He really doesn’t have one!
Madam asked him to make the decision regarding Pang Ming. After he learned the truth, he had no intention of bending the law for personal gain!
Chu Siqing was still angry in her heart: [You ignorant guys! They are all small-minded and narrow-minded, and they are afraid of being compared to women! 】
[Huang Manxiang was still young and had already invented a pedal-operated spinning wheel and a cotton seed-removing machine, which were much better than the scum of the Brocade Courtyard! 】
[If she can lead the reform of the Brocade Institute, the textile industry in Dachu will surely prosper, and then the people will no longer have to worry about dressing! 】
The courtiers couldn't help but feel guilty after being scolded so harshly by the saint.
How could they be afraid of being compared to women?
Before, I just felt that Huang was not worthy of this position.
But listening to the saint's words, this Huang is indeed a talent in the textile industry.
Anyway, the head of the Zhijinyuan is only of the sixth rank. Since the emperor has decreed, let her be the one!
Can a little girl be stronger than them?
At that moment, a minister said: "Your Majesty, since this Huang has outstanding talents in textiles, I would like to allow her to try the position of director of the Brocade Academy."
Someone else followed up and said, "I heard that Huang has invented the pedal-operated spinning wheel and the cotton seed-removing machine, and has also taught them among the people. Such talents should be put to good use by the imperial court."
There is also a censor who impeaches the Duke of Zhen: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Duke of Zhen for allowing his wife and brother to imprison a good citizen! This Huang family was imprisoned and beaten severely because of Pang Ming, the former head of Zhijinyuan!"
Someone immediately echoed: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal! This Pang Ming dares to do anything wrong just because he has a brother-in-law who is the Duke of the country!"
The trend suddenly changed, from admonishing the female officials to impeaching the Duke.
The Duke of Zhen was covered in cold sweat, and he stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! Please clarify this matter."
"I only learned about Pang Ming recently. Now he has been sentenced to a hundred canes and imprisoned for three years. I know that this is all his own fault. I have never thought of showing favoritism!"
Hearing that the courtiers had no objection to Huang Manxiang becoming the head of the Brocade Court, Chu Siqing was in a very good mood and did not forget to complain in her heart.
[You have no idea, but your wife is jumping up and down to ask Jing Zhaoyin to release her! 】
[Not only did you use your name as the Duke of the Kingdom, but also the name of your daughter, the second princess! 】
[Fortunately, Mr. Lu is fair and impartial. Otherwise, Pang Ming deserves it. Wouldn't he have to continue to cause trouble to the people? ! 】
At that moment, some ministers ridiculed: "Master Wang, what you said is so sensible, why did your wife go to Jing Zhaoyin and use coercion and inducement to use power to release Pang Ming?"
"This...this...I..."
Duke Zhenguo murmured for a moment, but after all he couldn't say anything to refute.
He deeply regretted that he had not grounded his wife before, instead he caused her to cause such trouble!
Emperor Chu Ming sat on the throne and saw everything.
My niece is still as awesome as ever!
Finally, he issued the final decree: "The Duke of Zhenguo is not strict in his stewardship and allows Pang to defy the law, and he will be fined for one year. Pang does not respect the law, despises the imperial officials, and abolishes his imperial decree!"
"It has been decided that Huang will be appointed as the head of the Zhijin Yuan. This matter cannot be discussed further!"
"The women of Da Chu are never humble. If there are indeed people with talents who can benefit Da Chu, I am willing to use talents in any way!"
No matter what they were thinking, the courtiers all said at this time: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The emperor's words have reached this point.
In order to benefit Dachu, you can use talents in any way!
If you jump out to oppose it, wouldn't it mean that you don't care about the prosperity of Da Chu?
