Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 23 There was a loud noise in the sky.

Zhan Doudou was very angry at this time. People who didn't know him might think that this minister was so righteous and caring only about the reputation of Qi!

Since this was Uesugi Tora's method, she would just accept it.

Her original intention was to eliminate the impact brought by Sean's incident, but now that this opportunity to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" has come to her doorstep, she will naturally not miss it. It just so happens that she has become the emperor but has not yet established her authority, so it's your turn!

"It seems that you are blaming me for conferring titles on the concubines at this coronation ceremony!"

The minister quickly bowed and said, "I dare not. I am really advising Your Majesty. I am worried that the reputation of the royal family will be damaged. I am really terrified."

Is this about whether or not the concubines can be enthroned?

This is about whether the person being conferred the title has a low status and whether a peasant girl should be canonized as a noble concubine or a talented lady!
Besides, he was just the initiator and a vanguard. He could not stop His Majesty and the Queen Mother with his words.
"No problem, no problem."

Zhan Doudou seemed easy to talk to. He smiled and looked at the ministers: "What do you think?"

As expected, an important courtier finally came out. Minister of War Wang Lin stepped out from the crowd and said politely, "As the Minister of Rites, Chen Yuanpei has been familiar with the court's sacrificial rituals for many years. He knew that your majesty's actions were inappropriate, but he did not correct them. This is dereliction of duty. There is no principal wife in the Eastern Palace, and Li An'er, who was a concubine, usurped the title of noble concubine in the harem. Your majesty's actions are not only disrespectful to the royal family, but also disrespectful to the empress dowager. It is a violation of filial piety!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked!
This has turned from impeaching the Ministry of Rites to directly pointing out that Your Majesty is unfilial! Is this saying that the current emperor has poor personal ethics and is not worthy of being an emperor?

Is this the daily routine in the Northern Qi court?
Ang Lee looked up and gave Zhan Doudou a sympathetic look. It's not easy for anyone who starts a business.

The smile on Zhan Doudou's face was already very forced at this time.

Wang Lin's words actually went even further than the previous official's. He used the identities of the four farm girls to imply that she was willful and had brought discredit to the Zhan family, causing her to be so embarrassed at her own coronation ceremony. It was truly despicable!
The young emperor was in a dilemma. Just when he was about to use brute force to break the situation, the queen mother spoke:

"Chen Yuanpei served in two dynasties and was in charge of the Ministry of Rites for more than 30 years. Who else in the court could know better than him whether this proposal should be passed and implemented, and whether it complies with the regulations?"

The Queen Mother was probably tired of sitting, so she stood up and walked out of the pearl curtain that the maid had opened. She looked at the civil and military officials standing in the palace, gently patted the little emperor on the shoulder and said loudly, "Now that I have heard the reasons for the objection, do you have any different opinions, ministers?"

All the ministers were silent, not even the Ministry of Rites, which had just been criticized, responded.
Obviously, with the current situation being so prominent, anyone who dares to step out may become the target of public criticism.

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm, but she was actually a little panicked inside.

In such a dangerous situation, apart from the fact that Uesugi Tiger had too many soldiers to launch the attack, if it was said that there was no tacit consent from Zhuang Mohan, the Queen Mother would be the first one to not believe it. This was Doudou's master's master, and he would do this for his own brother!

A single tree cannot support itself, and there is no support from the court. The court of Northern Qi and the court of Southern Qing can be said to be two extremes.

Zhan Doudou was just wondering whether to put the matter on hold and discuss it later, when she noticed the look in Li Ang's eyes and quickly made a face to signal him to stay calm while she was thinking about something.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had no tacit understanding, and Li An misunderstood, thinking that Doudou, as the emperor, should not argue with the court officials. It seems that no one has expressed a different opinion, so I have to share the worries for His Majesty myself!
Li An's voice rang out in the court:
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, our Great Qi is indeed governed by propriety and the world by filial piety. Since the ministers have objections, as the saying goes, if you don't understand the truth, you won't understand it. How can we just ignore the doubts?"

Under the stunned gazes of Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother, Li An turned around and faced all the ministers, ready to argue, "Since Lord Wang cares about our humble origins, then I would like to ask all the ministers in the palace to make a judgment on whether the hierarchy of the harem has been neglected, and whether the etiquette and rules of this grand ceremony have been neglected!"

"Humph!"

"How can a woman from a peasant family be qualified to argue with us?"

"That's right! Even His Majesty wouldn't treat us so badly, how could you?" "How dare a woman discuss state affairs!"

The identity of this imperial concubine hasn't even been confirmed, but now she's acting like one?
Li An's words made the whole court explode
"The noise in the hall is already a violation of etiquette," Li An said calmly, "Aren't you all questioning my background? If I speak for myself, then I am discussing state affairs? Since Your Majesty and the Queen Mother did not say anything to stop me, then they allow me to speak out. What do you think, Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhuang Mohan has been sitting aside with his eyes closed, like a wise man watching the changes in the situation. He really behaves like a gentleman!

Seeing the question thrown at him, fortunately he was not someone who valued status, seeing this situation he could only reply: "If you don't understand the reason, you won't understand it. Haha, that's how it should be!"

Li An nodded, slowly took two steps forward, looked directly at the Minister of War Wang Lin, and asked softly: "Are you born to be the Minister of War?"

This topic was a bit jumpy, and Wang Lin twitched his lips.

He did not answer. With his status, he could have done so as long as His Majesty and the Queen Mother did not ask him.
"Since you don't answer, that means it's a no by default."

"I think if we count your ancestors for several generations, there must be people who were born as commoners, right?"

"Not to mention you, even the royal family Zhan family was just a general of the previous Wei Kingdom decades ago! The Wei Kingdom was unkind, and the destiny belonged to the Zhan family, which is why we have the current Great Qi! According to what Lord Wang said, even you and His Majesty are not worthy of your position!"

"you!"

Now it was Wang Lin's turn to be anxious!

He used the concubine's humble origins as an excuse to say that His Majesty was unfilial and brought discredit upon the royal family. Now Li An used His Majesty and his origins as spears to attack his own shield, leading him into a trap of contempt for the royal family. How could he not be anxious?
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother! I have absolutely no such intention, absolutely no such intention!"

Seeing the two men above him like statues, he turned around and pointed his finger at Li An, angrily saying, "You are spreading rumors and making up stories!"

Li An shook his head and pointed out the essence of the matter: "Master Wang, you despise us for our humble origins because you think we are a chicken that has turned into a phoenix, we have no talent and no virtue, and we are not worthy of the position of rank. Then according to your opinion, who is worthy of the position of imperial concubine?"

"Hmph! She must be the daughter of a duke or marquis, from a family of scholars!" Wang Lin's words were recognized by all the ministers, and almost everyone in the hall nodded subconsciously.

"How pitiful~"

Li An sighed, as if he was sympathizing with the other party. His shy demeanor was really strange. He continued, "The daughters of dukes and marquises are rich and powerful. They eat and drink luxurious food and associate with famous and noble people. But in terms of power and wealth, is there anyone in the Great Qi who can surpass your Majesty?"

"This world belongs to your Majesty. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all land above the king belongs to the king's subjects!"

"Having a daughter of a duke or marquis in the harem would certainly be icing on the cake, but even if there isn't one, that doesn't matter. Everything depends on your majesty's preference."

"And the family of scholars only has more talent and learning. But isn't this a coincidence? Speaking of talent and learning..."

"I may not be very talented, but I still have some confidence!"
