Prosperous advisors

Chapter 589
"I just... can't bear to miss my elder brother." Mu Qingyi's eyes were slightly red.Gu Xiuting said with a smile: "There is always a banquet in the world. We are brothers and sisters. No matter where we go, we are still brothers and sisters. It will never change." Wife can divorce, husband can leave, and friends can leave, but as brothers and sisters, They are brothers and sisters all their lives.

Mu Qingyi lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment, feeling emotional about her sudden arrival of her little daughter.

Gu Xiuting just looked at her with a smile and said nothing.Ever since she became Mu Qingyi, she has rarely seen her look like this.

In Hanzhang Palace's imperial study room, Rong Jin looked at the officials chattering on the ground with a gloomy expression, his face became more and more difficult to look.

It's just that these officials who used to be extremely afraid of Rong Jin didn't seem to see his ugly face at all, and continued to state their advice incessantly.There is a strong intention not to give up on what Rong Jin said.

Among them are not only the high-ranking officials in the court, but also the leisurely censors, and even some old men who have not been in the court for a long time.A slight coldness flashed in Rong Jin's eyes, good, good.

When a minister finished speaking and was panting, Rong Jin asked indifferently: "You said... as a woman, Qingyi is not worthy of entering and leaving the court?"

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." The minister raised his head and said proudly: "Women should abide by boudoir precepts, embroider flowers and play the piano in the boudoir, and teach their husbands and children. It's a man's job to be a marquis and worship a minister. Can you break the rules?"

Rong Jin sneered, "Qing Yi is indeed a woman, but you so-called imperial examination talents, scholars and famous families, are not even as good as a woman. If I want a group of trash like you, I would rather let a group of women become officials."

"Your Majesty!" Everyone looked embarrassed, but they had to admit that Gu Liuyun's methods were indeed beyond their reach.

Since Gu Liuyun came to Xiyue, these court ministers are not all fools, so they can understand what they have done.If they were allowed to say without conscience that Gu Liuyun had no ability at all and all relied on Rong Jin's favor, even these courtiers who had gone through thousands of trials would not have such a thick skin.

"Your Majesty, Mu Qingyi is only sixteen or seventeen years old. First, she made waves in China, and if she comes to our west to play tricks on the government, she must be a witch who will bring disaster to the country. Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill the witch!" an old minister with a gray beard said. Said tremblingly.

"Presumptuous!" Rong Jin's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "I see clearly that you are jealous of Qingyi's brilliance and want to make her a mortal enemy. You are narrow-minded and can't accommodate things. It's no wonder that the first emperor looked down on you. Here you are." Go back and take your pension with you!"

"Your Majesty, you..." The old minister's face turned blue and then pale, his chest heaved for a long while and finally spurted out a mouthful of blood.This old minister is already seventy years old, but it is a pity that he has been depressed all his life.When he was young, he was quite talented and famous, but he knew that he was only a third-rank servant in the end.It was after Rong Jin ascended the throne, Mu Qingyi saw that he had been noble all his life, and it was not easy not to get along with others, so Mu Qingyi bestowed him with the false title of first rank.I didn't expect this kind of grace to be popular yet. He came here to make Rong Jin unhappy again. No wonder Rong Jin was so angry that he was merciless.

He waved his hand and asked someone to help him down.Rong Jin glanced at everyone contemptuously and said: "I heard you clearly, if you want Qingyi to leave the position of prime minister, it's fine." Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Rong Jin said calmly: "Prove it to me, you guys She is more powerful than Qing Yi, and more suitable for the position of Prime Minister. Otherwise, I will leave everyone far away. Whether she is a man or a woman, I will use her instead. Shut up if you are not capable!"

Everyone looked at each other, confused for a while, "Your Majesty... How can I prove it?" Who is suitable to be the prime minister? This kind of thing can't be done by one person for a few days and try it out, right?
After thinking about it, one person came out and said tentatively: "The ministers are willing to compete with Mu Qingyi in talent competition."

Rong Jin sneered, "Talent? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Are you going to compete one by one or take turns? What does this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have to do with governing the country? What's more... If you want to compare calligraphy and painting, let me look at the wall. Those who think they can beat Qing Yi will come forward and speak."

Following Rong Jin's line of sight, everyone saw two paintings and calligraphy hanging on one side of the wall of the Imperial Study Room.One is a picture of a plum garden with clear snow, and the other is a handwritten picture of the state of mind, all signed by Gu Ziqing.On weekdays, when entering the imperial study, everyone was very solemn and solemn, no one dared to look around, no one noticed these two calligraphy and paintings.Looking at it now, it's all a bit discolored.

It would be too much to say that these two paintings can be called everyone, but they can also be regarded as top-grade.Especially the handsome handwriting, already quite strong.Even in the West and Yue Dynasty, except for a few talented people, I am afraid that no one can match it.It's just that although these people are stronger than Mu Qingyi, most of them are already well-known scholars in the world.They still can't do the thing of bullying a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Glancing at the crowd in satisfaction, Rong Jin sneered, casually picked up a pile of notebooks on the table and smashed them over, and said coldly: "These are all written by Qingyi. Take it back and read it, after reading it... come on Tell me, you are stronger than her. I gave you the position of prime minister. Now, get out of here! What else do you do all day long besides admonishing? I want civil and military officials to govern the government, not to listen to you Nonsense!"

The coercion of a king and a peerless master is by no means something ordinary people can resist.Even if they don't want to, these courtiers can only pick up the booklet and get out of the imperial study in disgrace.

"What are you still doing here?" Rong Jin glanced angrily at Dongfang Xu who was standing aside in a daze.Dongfang Xu quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty calm down... I don't mean to persuade you, Your Majesty, please don't anger me."

Rong Jin snorted coldly, squinted at him lightly and said, "Then what are you trying to do?"

"Is this... I just want to ask, Xiang Xiang...is he really Xiang Xiang?" It turns out that this person hasn't recovered yet.It is simply unacceptable that the handsome and beautiful prime minister is a girl.

"What do you say?"

"Really?" Dongfang Xu's eyes lit up, "Then can I..." Before he could finish speaking, under Rong Jin's unfriendly gaze, Young Master Dongfang finally heard this amazing news, followed by a small message.He hurriedly laughed and said: "Then what? Congratulations to Your Majesty for choosing a spouse. Can I first pay a visit to the future empress?"

Seeing his sincere expression, Rong Jin finally hummed in satisfaction.He asked faintly: "What's the reaction in the clan?" Although Dongfang's family is only the Marquis's residence, the eldest princess is the eldest daughter of Emperor Xiyue.Rong Jin is not a stingy person either. After ascending the throne, he named the Eldest Princess the Eldest Princess, and gave him a better title again.Now when the Xiyue emperor's heirs are withering, the eldest princess can still speak a little bit in the clan.
