Chapter 127 How Dare You
Xia Xuan saw the shrewdness in Xia Qingqing's eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, and hugged Xia Qingqing in his arms.
"Okay, Nannan, just do what you want. Daddy will protect you if anything goes wrong!"
Xia Qingqing knew that what Xia Xuan said was from his heart, and she was moved and rubbed Xia Xuan's cheek, whispering, "Daddy, you are so kind."
Xia Xuan's face was full of smiles. He rubbed Xia Qingqing's face with his beard, making Xia Qingqing laugh out loud.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became better, full of laughter and joy. Eunuch Li wiped his sweat outside the hall. Finally...
Xia Qingqing came out with high morale. Xia Xuan's imperial edict was issued later, and it was written on it that all decisions regarding farmland would be made by Xia Qingqing.
In other words, all matters concerning land are handled by Xia Qingqing, as she is the immediate superior of the Ministry of Households!
When this imperial edict was issued, everyone except the Ministry of Revenue disagreed, and a quarrel broke out in the court the next day.
They were mainly divided into two factions, one was the Ministry of Revenue, princes, and the emperor who supported Xia Qingqing, and the other was the faction that opposed Xia Qingqing.
At this time, Prime Minister Yu Zhongtian took a step forward, bent down and said, "Your Majesty, this is really inappropriate. The princess is still young and I'm afraid she can't take on such a big responsibility!!"
People from the Prime Minister's faction also came out to respond, and even those who were not from the Prime Minister's faction did not agree with this matter.
But the Zhou family and the Qian family are still excluded.
The Zhou family is not in the court, and the Qian family also knows that their daughter is on good terms with the princess. General Qian, who is a daughter slave, naturally will not interfere in this matter.
Maybe my daughter is working with the princess.
When the people in the Ministry of Revenue heard that they were all so righteous, they were really disdainful. Although they were officials, they were peasants after all, and they were also honest in their hearts.
They appear to be like this on the surface, but they certainly don't think that way in their hearts. They are so hypocritical.
Others may not know the princess’ abilities, but don’t they know it themselves?
They used to think that the princess was too young and that she was just playing around with greenhouse vegetables, but who knew that she could actually make them and educate them about these amazing things.
Although the princess is young, she knows as much as they do.
It was their mistake to look down on the princess like this.
Xia Xuan was sitting in the upper position. Although he was on the side of his daughter, given his status, it was not easy for him to show that he was biased.
I was thinking about how to shut these people up.
Before Xia Xuan could think it through, the people from the Ministry of Revenue standing nearby could no longer hold back. Wu Zhi stepped forward first and snorted coldly.
"Humph, we in the Ministry of Revenue are not in a hurry, why are you irrelevant people in a hurry?"
Wu Zhi's words confused everyone on the other side. They didn't know how to refute for a moment. It seemed that what he said was indeed right. Even if he wanted to cause trouble, it would be the people in the Ministry of Revenue, not them. Why were they so anxious?
Xia Xuan was so happy listening to this that the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, but he was afraid that the people below would see it, so he quickly pressed the corners of his mouth down.
Eunuch Li who was standing by saw the emperor's gloating expression and shook his head helplessly in his heart. The emperor was really not calm when he encountered the princess.
After Wu Zhi said that, no one spoke. The scene was silent. No one made a sound for a long time, perhaps because they had not thought of how to refute Wu Zhi.
Seeing this, Xia Xuan raised his hand, "In that case..."
"This matter concerns the people of the world. How can we let a child mess around?"
Xia Xuan thought that since no one had objected, the matter should be almost over. However, before he could finish his words, someone took the lead.
Although they were angry, they had to endure it, and then it was time for them to quarrel again.
"How can it concern the people? Besides, we in the Ministry of Revenue believe in our princess. If you haven't seen her ability, don't talk nonsense."
"What can your Highness Princess be capable of? When my daughter was this old, she could only play in the mud!"
"That's your daughter. How can she compare with the princess? What do you think the princess is capable of? Aren't greenhouse vegetables proof of the princess's abilities? What else do you want?"
"You still want to compare your daughter with the princess. How dare you? What is the princess's status? What is your status? Do you still want to compare with the emperor?"
"You all say that the princess is incompetent. If you are competent, why don't you produce greenhouse vegetables instead of waiting for a one-year-old baby to be produced? And you still have the nerve to yell here."
"You guys are quite capable, but you just like to meddle in other people's affairs. Don't you know what you are like? You can only yell here."
Everyone in the Ministry of Revenue came out to speak for Xia Qingqing, which shows that they truly admired Xia Qingqing when they were in the suburbs.
Those who opposed were at a loss as to what to do. As soon as they opened their mouths to speak, they were thrashed to pieces. How could they not have thought that these people from the Ministry of Revenue were so good at talking?
The emperor was watching the other side being defeated and it was really exciting to watch. Xia Zhao didn't even need to say a word because the people from the Ministry of Revenue had already scolded them so much that they couldn't say anything back.
There were only Xia Zhao and Xia Yun in the court. When those people said bad things about Xia Qingqing just now, their eyes could kill them, but they didn't see it. They were only thinking about how to persuade the emperor to take back his decision.
But he didn't expect to be scolded by the people from the Ministry of Revenue, and he was feeling depressed at the moment.
The emperor was very satisfied and specially praised the people in the Ministry of Revenue and promoted them. Logically speaking, because of Wu Zhi's family affairs, he should have no hope of promotion.
But Xia Xuan didn't care about so many things. He would give credit to everyone who just said good things to Xia Qingqing.
Especially Wu Zhi, he is the first person to stand up, so he deserves a huge reward.
But the reward couldn't be too obvious, so he just found a random reason to reward them. Xia Xuan nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it must have been done perfectly.
The ministers all knew in their hearts why the emperor rewarded them. It couldn't be more obvious; his intention was almost written on his face.
Seeing them all being promoted and rewarded, those who opposed them became a little shaken. Did they choose the wrong side?
When they saw everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs with happy smiles on their faces, they were so angry that they were standing on the wrong side!
If they regret it now, will they still be able to get promoted?
They looked at each other and finally lowered their heads.
