Yuwen He's eyes narrowed, "Why does Wang Shangshu insist on bringing her along?"

The Wang Shangshu paused because of his words, "This subject thinks that Situ Qing is a talented person, and wants to take her out to gain more experience, to gain more experience, and it would be good for her."

He knew that Situ was the empress, but he still thought that he was a good seedling.

"Thank you Wang Shangshu for your appreciation, but right now, Situ cannot go." As Xiao Ruyue spoke, she looked at Yuwen He, who was seated on his seat. What she meant was, "Since His Majesty is in the palace, it's not convenient for me to leave."

However, to the Wang Shangshu, these words were read to be subject to His Majesty's arrangements.

The Wang Shangshu immediately became excited, "Your Majesty, Situ is indeed a rare talent, I request Your Majesty's permission."

, "Wang Shangshu, you really are a humble subject, think for the sake of the common people."

In fact, she really wanted to go as well. However, being pregnant right now was one thing, but Yuwen He being unable to leave was the most important matter.

Yuwen He muttered to himself for a moment, then waved his hand at Xiao Ruyue, "Come over."

Xiao Ruyue sighed, with small steps, she walked up the stairs and slowly walked to Yuwen He's side.

Seeing the situation, Fang Weiyong consciously took a step to the side to maintain his distance.

The civil and military officials looked at each other in dismay. What was going on?

"You want to see it for yourself?" Yuwen He asked casually.

Xiao Ruyue nodded, "En, I do."

"Repairing the dam is a big matter, and we might even have to rebuild it. Can you bear it?"

"Yes. Your Majesty wants to go as well? "

"Every year, years, and year after year, an accident occurred on that dike. The people on the banks of the Huai River suffered unspeakably, and often fell to the ground because of this. "How can I ignore the fact that my people are in such dire straits?" Yuwen He argued.

Yue Xiang seemed to have a bad premonition.

Indeed, in the next moment, he heard Yuwen He say: "Next, we will have to trouble Prime Minister Yue to supervise the country."

Yue Xiang's heart felt heavy.

He knelt on both knees, kowtowing to the king. With a solemn and solemn expression, he said, "This old official will definitely expend all of my energy and blood to protect Your Majesty."

Such a willful monarch had appeared in Grand Xia, who knew if this was a blessing or a curse.

"Then let the overseer have a look at the auspicious day. This Emperor will choose a good day to travel on." His Majesty the Emperor decided on this matter with great pleasure.

Yue Yang kowtowed again, and ordered people to give him seats.

The Ministry of Justice opened his mouth wide, and looked at Xiao Ruyue who was still standing beside Yuwen He. She could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, then who is this Division of Water Affairs from the Ministry of Industry?"

It was unheard-of for the Minister to sit on the Dragon Throne.

Yuwen He did not wait for him to finish, and moved his seat, allowing Xiao Ruyue to sit beside him.

Fang Weiyong kneeled down and bowed towards Xiao Ruyue. "This servant greets the Empress, the Empress is blessed with a thousand years of peace and fortune."

As he knelt, the entire palace hall was deathly silent.

However, it only lasted for a moment before it exploded.

Everyone in the court knew that the empress was doted on by His Majesty. Everyone knew that even though she rarely went out, she was still doted on by tens of thousands. No one could match him.

But his posture clearly showed that the Empress had disguised herself as a man to take the Imperial examinations, and had even become the Minister of Water of the Ministry of Industry!

3 A flower scout, the fame is brilliant, all say flower scout is handsome and handsome, did not expect originally was a girl!

Everyone immediately turned to Xiao Jingyu and said, "Xiao Shang Shu, you are in charge of the Board of Rites. My Da Xia Empire is strict with our etiquette, how can we let you go?"

"Well, I've never had a woman in my life! This is nonsense! "

These officials were also very blunt. They dared to be so blunt in front of the emperor.

Xiao Jingyu had already expected that once the Empress's identity was made public, there would be an earth-shattering commotion. However, being surrounded by a group of seniors who were older than him, he was at a loss for what to do.

Yue Yang did not just stand there and watch, he shouted: "All of you, shut up!"

No one paid any attention to it. The waves of discussion were getting louder and louder.

This group of scholars who were familiar with the book had actually turned the imperial court into a bustling bazaar in an instant.

Too terrifying.

Xiao Ruyue and Yuwen He looked at each other, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Both of you, shut up!"

The woman's voice was extremely shocking, causing everyone to freeze upon hearing it. They all stopped in their tracks.

Yuwen He swept his cold gaze across the officials and said indifferently: "What, a woman cannot be an official? Is the empress uncourteous because she's an official? "

"Your Majesty, a woman does not serve as an official, nor does the imperial harem interfere in politics. "The empress actually went to the imperial examinations in disguise as a man and even got third place. If word of this got out, how would the commoners treat you?"

Minister of Rites, Vice Minister Jin, was a typical old-fashioned man. He kneeled straight and spoke with a sorrowful and impassioned tone.

He almost said that if it was a girl next to him who was disguised as a man and taking the Imperial Examinations, she would be punished with the crime of bullying the monarch.

But he held back.

Yuwen He laughed coldly, "Does Vice Minister Jin intend to throw our Empress into the Sky Prison?"

Vice Minister Jin said, "This old subject doesn't dare."

"I don't think anyone else would dare, but you." Yuwen He made a face full of anger.

Vice Minister Jin, I remember that before, you went to drink with the Xiao Shang Shu, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water's Minister for Foreign Affairs Situ. When you were in high spirits, you went against him with a poem, saying that Situ was an extremely talented man, worthy of respect.

Vice Minister Jin was speechless.

This was indeed what he had said.

Xiao Ruyue resisted her impulse, she wanted to say, Your Majesty, you are also like a peddler bargaining with a peddler in the market.

Special, special.

Yuwen He said expressionlessly: "Then, who else thinks that is not right?"

The Ministry of Justice couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you can't! I've never had a woman in my life as an official, let alone a harem. "

"What's this? Could it be that you'll be able to find a water department's Minister even more outstanding than her?"

The Board of Justice was also at a loss for words.

Everyone knew the criteria of Wang Shangshu picking people, who could compare to the person he had his eyes on?

Xiao Ruyue pushed Yuwen He who seemed like she was about to fly into a rage and said gently, "There is indeed no case of a woman being an official in my clan, but there is also no rule that states that a woman cannot be accepted as an official. Isn't it? The Ministry of Justice and the marble temple were in charge of the law, so they should be clear about this. And, if any of you think that it is inappropriate for me to be an official, you can ask Xiao Shang Shu if there is any written rule in the law that a queen cannot be an official. "

Xiao Jingyu bowed deeply, and replied in a clear voice. "In reply to the Empress' words, the etiquette does not state that the Empress cannot be an official."

The Ministry of Justice replied listlessly, "Grand Xia's laws do not explicitly state that women are not allowed to enter the civil service."

Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly.

Of course she knew. This was all thanks to a certain king, she had taken advantage of the loophole in the law.

She was the empress, the one who was appointed as the imperial court's official. Yuwen He had dug a pit for her to fall, so even if she was wrong, she was right.

In terms of words, she wouldn't lose to anyone.

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to vent their anger.

The hall was terrifyingly silent.

To put it harshly, the courtiers and officials were now truly furious, but they dared not to say a word.

In the dead silence, Censor Qian slowly said, "He was a hero since ancient times, but I didn't expect him to be so heroic."

Yue Xiang continued, "Since there are no clear rules in the imperial court, no matter if it is the ancestral rules or the national laws, the empress cannot be an official in the imperial court. As a man of seven feet, can he not accommodate any intelligent female officials in the imperial court?"

When these words were spoken, even if the adults were unwilling, they could only swallow their words.

Even the two oldest and most respected men in the imperial court had said that. What else could they say?

Yuwen He announced his resignation. No matter what the officials thought, it would end here.

After the court dispersed, Wang Shangshu, Yue Xiang, Xiao Jingyu and Imperial Physician Qian were all kept behind, and they all went to the Imperial Study room.

"Your Majesty, although the governance of the river is also a part of the people's livelihood, we cannot afford to have no one to take charge of the situation. Now that the rainy season has passed, should Your Majesty consider going a little later?"

Yuwen He took a sip of his tea and then lightly said: "Yue Xiang's words are not right. Because the rainy season has already passed, this is the best time to build the barrier. Furthermore, the locals are currently facing a critical moment in rebuilding after a disaster. Wouldn't it be more sincere if I were to personally go? "

Surprisingly, Yue Yang was unable to refute her.

The others didn't object either. Yue Yang then turned to look at Censor Qian, "Master Qian, what do you think?"

"Since ancient times, people have always valued their own people, and kings have always been light," said Qian Chao. "His Majesty has always cared about the lands of the dead, and it is always a good thing for the people to go to the land they built after the disaster." As for the affairs of the court, with the presence of the prime minister, there shouldn't be any problems. "

Yue Yang was shocked, even Censor Qian agreed to it?

"I have already decided that there is no need to discuss this matter any further." Yuwen He set down the teacup, and although his tone was light, it was undeniable.

Yue Yang could only agree to this result.

Seeing Yue Xiang's helpless face, Xiao Jingyu did not know what to say to comfort the old man. He had spent most of his time with Yue, and he knew a lot about him.

The prime minister was loyal to his country, but his thoughts were a bit outdated. His Majesty and the Empress both understood this, so they naturally understood it.

The Wang Shangshu hesitated for a while before adding, "Your Majesty and the Empress being able to personally attend is naturally for the best. In addition, the Empress is an expert in this field. It was a good thing for the citizens of Da Xia to solve the problem of the riverbank as soon as possible. Otherwise, every year, every year, every year, every year, every year, the people's hearts will inevitably depart. "

Wang Shangshu spoke very straightforwardly. After he finished speaking, he noticed that he said something wrong and subconsciously raised his head to look at Yuwen He.

Yuwen He glanced at him when he heard him. "What Wang Shangshu said makes sense. It will be an auspicious day in half a month. Wang Shangshu, pack up and prepare to set off with us. "
