Chapter 135 Princess Xuan Shengan will know after just one question!
The Xuanzheng Hall, which had been extremely lively just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Qing'an, and where their eyes were focused, Ye Qing'an spoke slowly with a firm look:
"I think that no one is more suitable for the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce than Princess Saint Ann!"
"..."
Who?
Princess Saint Ann? Princess? ! !
Ye Qingan must be crazy!
The person Ye Qingan mentioned was beyond everyone's expectations. For a moment, everyone forgot that they were just guessing whether this was the intention of Emperor Xuanwu himself.
Their opposition was much more intense than when their own forces were fighting each other before.
Among them, the Prince's faction is the most powerful.
"This court is not a place for children to play house!
After all, Master Ye was an official through the imperial examination. How could he make such a ridiculous statement just because he is close to Princess Sheng'an? "
"There has never been a precedent of a princess entering the court in the Tiansheng Dynasty. Moreover, Princess Sheng'an is only a young girl now. How can she take on such an important responsibility?"
"Princess Sheng Ann has a pure mind, and she is currently studying with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince in the upper study room. How can she have the time to deal with those scheming businessmen?
"Master Ye's words are really laughable!"
……
Ye Qing'an himself did not hold a high official position, and the position of Grand Tutor was just a nominal position without any real power to him.
When these people in the court refuted, they kept calling him "Master Ye", just to repeatedly mention the relationship between him and Princess Sheng'an Yunshu.
The person at the back who "praised" Yun Shu for her pure mind and pointed out that she was still studying in the upper study with the Sixth Prince, almost said that Yun Shu was an unlearned little waste!
Yun Shu was outside silently noting down the ministers who were dancing the most happily, with a calm expression as if he was listening to other people's fun.
Fortunately, there is no point in saying too much opposition. After the first peak period has passed,
Tang Yuanlin, who had not been approved before, finally stood up and became the first person besides Ye Qingan to support Yun Shu:
"Your Majesty, I think Lord Ye is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. Moreover, Lord Ye was the first to propose the new business tax and the Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps Lord Ye has other considerations."
"In that case,"
Emperor Xuanwu was waiting for this sentence. He did not give others a chance to refute and said directly:
"Lord Ye, tell me why you think my Princess Sheng'an is the most suitable candidate?"
“Your Majesty, the reason why I say this is because Princess Sheng An’s understanding of the new commercial tax and the Chamber of Commerce is not inferior to that of me.
In fact, I first came up with the idea of the new commercial tax thanks to Princess Saint Ann's suggestion.
Including the later improvement of the new commercial tax and the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, they were all thought up by Princess Saint Ann!
The princess is very thoughtful, intelligent, and of noble status. It is perfect for her to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce!"
"what?"
After Ye Qing'an's words, there were more than one or two people in the court who were shocked.
Such a clever and meticulous method, which attracted merchants from all over the world in one fell swoop, and even the aristocratic families could not escape.
How could it be possible that it came from Princess Saint Ann, who was said to have been unable to recite such basic contents as "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" a few months ago?
Amidst the uproar, only the Right Prime Minister could not help but feel secretly frightened.
No wonder the Queen and the Crown Prince both regard Princess Sheng Ann as a serious threat and have tried to get rid of her several times before!
So this Princess Saint Ann is hiding so deeply?
There was a commotion in Xuanzheng Hall. Seeing this, Marquis Wu'an also took the opportunity to take a step outside:
"Your Majesty, the sage once said, 'Therefore, there is no high or low, no old or young; wherever the Way exists, there the Teacher exists.
If Princess Saint Ann is really as talented as Lord Ye said, regardless of other things, at least in terms of new business taxes and chambers of commerce, she is indeed better than all of us present here.
Even if he is appointed as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, it is not a bad idea!" "Marquis Wu'an is right.
It would be such a pity if talented people were buried and not given important positions simply because of their age!"
"...???"
If Tang Yuanlin and Wu Anhou had stood up to support Yun Shu, everyone would have been able to understand.
After all, one of them is Yunshu's maternal grandfather, and the other's granddaughter is Yunshu's study partner.
But Liu Xiang suddenly came out to express his position, which was very puzzling.
It can't be because the Sixth Prince has a good relationship with Princess Saint Ann, right?
This, this doesn't make sense!
You must know that the Liu family is the richest family in Jiangnan and one of the biggest "victims" of the new commercial tax!
When Tutor Ye first proposed the new commercial tax, the first person to stand up and express opposition was also from the Left Prime Minister's faction.
Why did his attitude change suddenly?
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, totally confused as to what on earth was causing Prime Minister Liu's madness.
Even Yun Shu, who was waiting outside, raised his eyes in surprise when he heard the noise.
Only Emperor Xuanwu remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen:
"Then according to the left prime minister, what should we do?"
“Your Majesty, I think you can summon Princess Sheng’an to the palace.
Whether Her Royal Highness is capable of taking on the responsibility of the President of the Chamber of Commerce will be known after just one question! "
Liu Xiang bowed slightly, and at first glance, he seemed to be fair and just, without any bias.
But in reality, the tone of "as long as Princess Saint Ann really has that ability, she can become the president of the Chamber of Commerce" was set in just a few words.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction:
"In that case, then summon Princess Sheng An into the palace!"
"Princess Sheng'an is summoned to the palace!"
As soon as Emperor Xuanwu finished speaking, Li Dehai, who was standing beside him, shouted in a shrill voice,
Immediately afterwards, outside the open door of Xuan Zheng Hall, a slender girl in red suddenly appeared behind everyone.
Because of the backlight, the ministers who were a little further away couldn't even see her facial features clearly.
All that could be seen was a figure slowly walking towards the hall.
The rising sun in the early morning was not scorching. A faint layer of golden light fell behind her, outlining a golden shadow for her.
It was not until she stepped into the hall that some people suddenly came to their senses.
Princess Saint Ann had been waiting outside the palace just now!
In other words, what happened today was indeed something that His Majesty had discussed with Ye Qing'an long ago.
It’s Your Majesty who wants Princess Sheng Ann to enter the court!
The Right Prime Minister's heart trembled. He did not dare to think about what this meant. He just turned around and looked away, and at the same time gave the Minister of Revenue an imperceptible look.
