Chapter 703 The most popular female marquis

Seeing that the Censor was about to be defeated, someone came forward to help, but the emperor was very persistent.

The emperor finally said: "The reason why I want to name her Marquis of Chengyang is that the word "Chengyang" has an extraordinary meaning. It is also because the method of refining the salt castle was given by her."

There was a moment of silence in the court.

Don’t say it, she really made a contribution, but she just didn’t say it out.

If others don’t say it, it doesn’t mean the emperor can’t see it.

The prince's face changed.

This is the truth, but it embarrasses the prince.

The Chu State has long heard of the method of refining sea salt and Lu Yan provided by Princess Chengyang in Liang State.

Even when she arrived, the eldest prince made this idea, and everyone else knew about it.

She had such achievements in Liang State and was famous all over the world. Now she is very close to the new Prince's Mansion. If you insist on saying that this matter has nothing to do with her, who would believe it?

The refining method of Lu Yan brought to the Chu treasury and the money brought to the prominent clan were immeasurable. Therefore, it is not too much to grant her a Marquis of Chengyang and a fiefdom that sounds very barren?

In Qingyang County, many court officials do not know where they are, so they are remote and poor.

"Your Majesty, there is no such precedent." There are also some court officials who have not eaten meat, who are still unwilling to give up and are reluctant to let go.

The emperor smiled, and he stopped talking.

At this time, he knew that others would stand up and speak.

Especially those related to this salt mine, they will definitely stand up and say a few words.

In the court, the quarrel started.

The vested interests of the Salt Castle and the courtiers who did not eat this piece of fat were divided into two factions and argued with each other.

Finally, Prime Minister Pei stood up. The old fox cited the scriptures and was well-versed in history. With a few words, everyone was silent.

Prime Minister Pei supported Xue Mei.

In this way, Xue Mei used the springboard of the eldest prince to present the strategy of refining land salt to the State of Chu, thus receiving the reward of the State of Chengyang Marquis.

She was a woman and was still in a foreign country.

This matter can be recorded in history.

When she went back, Xue Mei held her gold treasure book and kept reading it.

"My Marquis's Seal." Xue Mei was very happy, "Brother, if you want to talk about it, it is the emperor who knows me. I really like him.

He is my confidant and knows what I want. If he was thirty or forty years younger, I would have been a concubine for him."

When she was excited, she didn't keep the door in her mouth.

Xue Chi: "...you can save me some snacks."

The court meeting that day ended, and the public opinion in Beijing seemed to be in full swing.

A woman was named a marquis, which is the first time since ancient times.

Everyone talks about it with relish.

The people did not object because Princess Chengyang was a miraculous doctor.

Since ancient times, miraculous doctors have often had a relatively high reputation among the people, so Princess Chengyang has a very good reputation among ordinary people.

The miraculous doctor became the Marquis of Chengyang, and the people were happy for her when they talked about it.

"Whoever has the medical skills of Princess Chengyang can also be granted the title of marquis."

There are always a few people who express opposition, saying that this matter is inappropriate and that if the rules are broken, there will be a major disaster.

"The evil one ruins the country."

Those who say such words will soon be despised by their companions, saying that they are sour and rotten.

"I heard that when Princess Chengyang was in Liang State, Liang State was booming and prosperous every day. This woman had a mole on her forehead, and she was born into a Buddha statue. God blessed me to the Great Chu State."

"Don't forget that Princess Chengyang assisted Liang State in destroying the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu had a feud with our Chu State, and Princess Chengyang was also avenged us."

"I heard that she was born extremely beautiful. Could it be that His Majesty was bewitched by her?"

"If you are bewitched by him, you should include him in the harem instead of appointing her as Marquis of Chengyang. Besides, His Majesty is sixty, and no new concubines will be added in the palace eight years ago."

There was a lot of discussion in the city, just like the New Year, very lively.

However, the main themes of public opinion are positive, and I feel that this matter is fresh, interesting, and I like to hear more.

I think this matter is bad and will ruin morality. From then on, people's hearts are not as good as ever, and there are some remarks about the changes in the world.

However, the positive meaning is greater

For a time, many wealthy families wanted to raise their daughters to study, determined to take Princess Chengyang as an example, and also be granted titles in the future.

"Now she is not Princess Chengyang anymore, she is Marquis Chengyang."

"Then the emperor wants to give her a mansion?"

"I heard that Qingyang County, which the emperor gave her, was a very barren place. The land was very wide, but it was difficult to cultivate. Maybe the emperor just wanted her to transform this place?

It has been transformed and will not belong to our Chu State in the future? Even if she wants to go back, she can't move away."

"Maybe it's true. I heard that Princess Chengyang once turned a big devil's stall into a pasture. Now there are thousands of cattle and sheep there, and the harvest is very good every year."

"So that's the case, but His Majesty is far-sighted."

While guessing the emperor's intentions, the people praised the emperor, and they were very fulfilling after dinner.

Among the great players, countless meanings have been interpreted.

Anyone with a little brain knows that the emperor's move is definitely not for Princess Chengyang, but for the current Chengyang Marquis.

Think about who is Princess Chengyang? She is Prince Zhuang’s adopted sister.

What is the purpose of capturing his edict?

On the evening, Prime Minister Pei had supper with his wife, son, daughter and daughter-in-law.

The women who did not attend court and the sons of the Pei family who did not serve as officials all asked about the matter when they attended court today.

Prime Minister Pei's reaction was very indifferent: "Your Majesty has been cleared up."

This was a confusing table.

What does Your Majesty mean to be open-minded? Is it called Princess Chengyang the Marquis of Chengyang breaking the precedent of the ages? Is this called open-minded?

What's the point of view?

Pei Wanzhao was most anxious: "Grandfather, is that Sister Bai really the marquis?"

Prime Minister Pei looked at his granddaughter lovingly: "Yes."

"Then she is not the master, why should we call her?" Pei Wanzhao was really concerned about this issue because she needed to change her words next time she went to see Xue Mei.

Her words made everyone stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"This is really a problem." Prime Minister Pei smiled, but don't worry, Wanzhao, she is still your sister Bai."

Pei Wanzhao laughed.

Everyone had a paste before the meal, but after the meal, they still had a paste after the meal. They had nothing to get from Prime Minister Pei, so they dispersed.

When she was sleeping at night, Mrs. Pei also asked about this matter. She didn't understand this time.

"Your Majesty will not really like Prince Zhuang, do you want to make him the crown prince?" asked Mrs. Pei.

After saying that, she felt incredible and quickly denied it in her heart.

Prime Minister Pei smiled and said, "I don't know if you are satisfied with Prince Zhuang. I am not a worm in His Majesty's stomach; but it is obvious that I don't like the prince."

"If you don't like it? Then why do you want to be named the crown prince?" Mrs. Pei didn't expect this and was shocked.

This prince was only granted today.
