Chapter 544 This case cannot be opened

Sanpin Nongsi? !

No matter how many rank it is, this is an official. How can a woman be an official? When Su Chengyu said this, the whole court was in an uproar.

Even Emperor Xiyun was stunned. I didn't expect Su Chengyu to come out like this.

Doctor Censor was the first to stand up against it: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, no woman has ever been an official, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move is inappropriate!"

Prime Minister Li also came out and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, men are the masters of the outside and women are the masters of the interior. Women should obey the four virtues, and should not show their heads and look to the emperor to judge."

The Minister of Rites also objected: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette and law, there are differences between men and women, and it is not appropriate for a woman to work with a man. Furthermore, if a woman is an official, wouldn't it make other countries laugh at us that we have no one in Xiyun?"

"Your Majesty, this case cannot be opened, Your Majesty..."

"The Emperor..."

"The Emperor..."

There were endless objections, but Su Chengyu was not in a hurry. It was not until everyone's opinions were expressed that he said loudly again: "Father, raising fish in the field is beneficial to increase rice production, and rice hulls and rice paddies are beneficial and faster. Grinding the rice into rice and terracing the fields are beneficial to increase the farming area of ​​the people.

"Also, the raw material of white paper was discovered by the Queen's Wife. Now that the treasury is full, the Queen's Wife has contributed greatly."

"Furthermore, when the locusts crossed the border in six counties, it was also the emperor's sister-in-law who found that sifting ash or lime on crops, etc., the locusts would not eat it. Otherwise, famine in six counties is bound to occur, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

"These contributions to benefit the country and the people are combined. Which farm official in Xiyun can compare with the Queen's Wife?"

When Su Chengyu said this, the several peasant officials in the hall all bowed their heads in shame.

Su Chengyu continued as if he hadn't seen those peasant officials bow their heads, "How many officials in Xiyun can make so much meritorious deeds like the Queen's Wife?"

Those other officials who couldn't compare to the quiet contribution also bowed their heads in shame.

Su Chengyu, still as if he had not seen it, continued to speak in a sonorous manner: "The terrain is Kun, a gentleman should carry things with great virtue. A man should be broad-minded. Although the Queen's Wife is a woman, she does have extraordinary talents. You should all be Acknowledging it, not because she is a woman, makes Erdan feel embarrassed, and you deceive yourself into thinking that she does not have this talent, reject her, and bury her."

Speaking of this, Su Chengyu suddenly knelt down, solemnly gave a big gift to Emperor Xiyun above the jade steps, kowtowed to the ground, and said in a louder voice: "Father, my son thinks that Xiyun can carry the load. All things, although the Queen's Wife is a woman, she is also a child of Xiyun, these three-rank farmer, the Queen's Wife deserves it, and Xiyun also tolerates it, and I hope the father's permission, don't bury someone who is not talented!"

"Xiyun can hold all things..." Emperor Xiyun murmured this sentence slowly, and after a long while, he praised again and again: "Good! Good! Good! The prince dares to be the first in the world, and he deserves to be my son! Good! Very good! it is good!"

"The Emperor—"

"Um?"

The courtiers still want to object. This is the era of patriarchy, how can a woman be caught in the middle? But Emperor Xiyun's yin word was neither yin nor yang, and the frightened courtiers did not dare to speak out against it even if they wanted to.

As a Ming monarch, Emperor Xiyun naturally would not ignore the unanimous opposition of civil and military officials and go his own way, so when he saw that the courtiers were silenced by the emperor's majesty, he slowly said: "Concubine Changsheng has made a great contribution. She is very big, and her talents are outstanding, and she is different from ordinary women. Today, I specially designate her as a farmer in Hecheng County, hoping that she will be able to better serve Xiyun in the future.
