As soon as Fu Shangshu's words finished, hundreds of ministers in the Taiji Palace began to discuss one after another, and most of their words were displeased and ridiculed at Zhuge Mingkong's appearance in court today.

Hearing that, Zhuge Mingkong couldn't help but smile. She knew that men were superior to women in the feudal dynasty, and she had already expected to be discussed by these courtiers when she decided to come. However, she is Wenhou now and has her own responsibilities, so she comes here to attend court.

It's one of them.

As for the words of these ministers, they may be disgusting or contemptuous, but she has been used to hearing such words for a long time and has no feeling at all. However, now that someone has brought it up, it depends on how her uncle, the emperor, decides?

The old emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at the courtiers below. There seemed to be a faint smile on the corners of his slightly raised mouth. His eyes slowly turned to Zhuge Mingkong's face. He spoke slowly, with royal majesty in his voice.

"Marquis Zhuge Wen, as a man of this generation, what do you say about what Fu Shangshu said?"

Zhuge Mingkong raised his head and glanced at the old emperor, then took a step to the left and walked out of the ranks of ministers. He stood upright with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I have a few questions to ask Fu Shangshu. Is it okay?

"

The old emperor glanced at Fu Shangshu, and then nodded: "That's right."

Zhuge Mingkong turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man behind her, and then asked: "Does my court law clearly stipulate that women cannot go to court?"

"That's not true, but since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been no precedent for a woman to go to court, and there has never been any in other countries. Zhuge Wenhou thinks you have the ability to set a precedent?" Fu Shangshu replied the question to Zhuge Mingkong.

"I won't answer Fu Shangshu's question for now. I would like to continue asking Fu Shangshu. Can Xue Yue create the best village in the world by herself? Can you do it?"

"Feng Feixue is the most talented in the world, can you surpass her in talent and learning?"

"My late mother once single-handedly led the Yan army to rescue thousands of my Northern Three soldiers. Can Fu Shangshu do it?"

Zhuge Mingkong's three questions made Fu Shangshu stunned. Indeed, men can rarely do what these three women did. After thinking for a moment, Fu Shangshu said slowly: "What Wenhou said is just

There are only a few women, but how many women in this world can be as stunning and talented as Lord Xue Yue, Princess Lian Xue, and Mrs. Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen’s reputation has always been bad, and this succession to the title is also your father’s legacy.

Life has nothing to do with Marquis Wen himself."

"Yes, I know that I am not as good as Xue Yue, not as good as Feng Feixue, not as good as my mother, but since I promised my late father to inherit the position of Marquis Wen, I will try my best to do it. I once had a bad reputation

That's a fact. I don't want to make any more excuses, but I think that except for my failure to sit on the position of Marquis Wen, the 150,000 Shence Army inherited my father's order. In their hearts, I am the only Marquis Wen and the leader.

Their people. As for those of you who sit high in the court, what qualifications do you have to talk about it here? Do you understand the suffering of the military camp? Do you know what the soldiers do on a daily basis to protect their homes and the country? Don't rely on it.

With such a mouth, he only knows how to spend time opposing me, a woman, in the court, but he does not know how to take time to care about the soldiers, the people, and the fate of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Zhuge Mingkong's words left Fu Shangshu completely speechless in reply. He looked at Zhuge Mingkong in surprise, as if he didn't expect that she would overturn his previous objections to her with such words. This is really the person who is not happy with everything.

, Zhuge Mingkong, who only knows how to take action?

"Marquis Wen did not have a good reputation before, but I grew up with her and have confidence in her character. Although she has a bad temper, since she has become Marquis Wen, she will definitely do her part well. You should take your own responsibility for the matter. Fu Shangshu objected to Marquis Wen's appointment to the court because she was a woman. This sounds like he looks down on women's talents and only thinks of men as great. But this world is composed of men and women. Who can be sure that women are inferior to men?" Ye Tianqian suddenly spoke, his words full of defense for Zhuge Mingkong.

She glanced at Ye Tiangan and smiled at him. Ye Tiangan smiled back at her, looking noble and graceful.

"Rong Yu has been in poor health since four years ago."

At this time, Rong Yu suddenly spoke, and his words made the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs extremely puzzled. He could only wait with bated breath to hear him continue to speak.

"To this day, my body still needs elixirs to feed me so that I can survive. If it is as what Fu Shangshu said, women cannot go to court, then Rong Yu, who is often unable to go to court due to her weak body, cannot even go to court. Have you gone to court?" There was no hint of protection for Zhuge Mingkong in Rong Yu's gentle voice, but it was full of defense.

Even Zhuge Mingkong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this. As expected of Rong Yu, what he said was completely irrefutable. The political affairs he handled were almost comparable to those of the left and right prime ministers, but his handling methods It is indeed unparalleled by others. If Rong Yu could not go to court, what kind of loss would it be to the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

At any time, Rong Yu can make people completely unable to cope with him at any time.

At this time, there was a silence in the Taiji Hall. After about a moment, the old emperor said: "If Fu Shangshu thinks that Xin Wenhou's coming to court is an insult to Chao Gang, then go home!"

The old emperor's words made all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty dare not say anything. Fu Shangshu knelt on the ground silently and did not say another word. The old emperor's meaning was very obvious, that is, he agreed to Zhuge Mingkong's coming to court. If anyone else If you dare to speak, just tell me and go back to your hometown.

At this time, Rong Hai said profoundly: "Retreat from the court!"

"Long live my emperor!" The civil and military ministers of the court knelt down and saluted. After the old emperor left, they slowly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhuge Mingkong and Rong Yu stood at the strongest, and they were last when they left. At this time, Rong Yu raised his head and glanced at the dragon chair high up.

"Why are you looking at that?" Zhuge Mingkong immediately noticed Rong Yu's gaze and asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel that if the dragon chair is too high, people will fall to death. The world is too heavy. I look at it this way and it's the best." Rong Yu turned to Zhuge Mingkong and smiled tenderly, then held her hand and walked out of Taihe. temple.

At this time, the front of the Taihe Hall was full of retired ministers. When the two were about to leave, the empress, Grandma Sun, suddenly walked up to them and saluted respectfully: "Empress, please invite Wenhou and Prince to go to the Chuxue Hall to have a talk." .”

"I haven't seen the queen's aunt for many days, and I miss her a little. Since the queen's aunt has invited you, let's go together!" Zhuge Mingkong glanced at Rong Yu.

"Okay, I'm fine anyway." Rong Yu smiled slightly at Zhuge Mingkong.

Then, the two of them followed Grandma Sun into the Chuxue Palace. At this time, the queen was the only one in the palace. Zhuge Mingkong and Rong Yu nodded slightly in greeting.

The Queen looked at the two of them with a slightly deep gaze, then smiled and said: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty, please sit down!"

"Thank you Queen!"

"Thank you, Aunt Queen!"

The two of them sat down, and at this time the queen slowly said: "I have called you here this time to tell you something!"

"Queen, please speak!" Rong Yu said warmly.

"Prince Anling is sixteen years old this year, and it will be time to start a family next year. I heard that Ming'er has not accepted the marriage decree from you two, so I am going to act as a matchmaker for the prince and find a virtuous princess for him. You and Ming'er

Neither of the two marriage decrees resulted in a marriage, so you two must not be suitable for a century-old marriage!" The queen spoke softly, her words were modest and polite, but they were ruining the marriage.

Zhuge Mingkong didn't speak, just sat quietly on the chair. There was no one who could intervene between her and Rong Yu, except Fu Meng, but Fu Meng was long gone.

"I wonder what kind of virtuous princess the Queen wants to find for Rong Yu?" Rong Yu smiled slightly and asked the Queen.

The queen glanced at Zhuge Mingkong with some contempt, and then said with a smile: "Of course she is not an unreasonable and troublesome person like Ming'er. The prince has known her for some time, and her temperament is really not suitable for a noble and elegant person like the prince.

I have found a princess for the prince. Regardless of appearance, talent, knowledge, and character, she is a top-notch person and is absolutely worthy of the prince."

"I don't know who it is that can get such approval from the queen. Rong Yu is really interested." The smile on Rong Yu's face never changed.

"She is my maiden niece, so she is Ming'er's sister. She is very similar to Ming'er's mother, and she is definitely a match for the prince." The queen picked up the teacup placed next to her, took a sip gently, and

Extremely elegant.

She looked around Zhuge Mingkong and Rong Yu, and the smile on her lips was extremely profound.

"Rong Yu is just an ordinary person. There are many people in the world who are worthy of Rong Yu, but they are not the ones Rong Yu wants. Rong Yu appreciates the queen's kindness."

His words made the queen slightly stunned. She looked at Rong Yu and then at Zhuge Mingkong in a different way, feeling very confused. She couldn't figure it out, what's so good about Zhuge Mingkong?

"Could it be that the prince still wants the third imperial edict of marriage to marry Ming'er for a hundred years?" the queen put down the teacup and asked.

Rong Yu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Zhuge Mingkong's hand, his eyes were firm and gentle: "There is no need for an imperial edict between me and her. It is enough that I want to marry her. Rong Yu is very grateful for the queen's thoughtfulness.

But I can’t accept it. Many of the princes have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business. Since the queen’s nephew has both talents and virtues, it would be better for him to marry into the royal family.”

His words made a trace of anger appear on the queen's face, but it quickly disappeared. She smiled elegantly, dignifiedly and generously: "In this case, I am troubled."

"As long as the queen understands." Rong Yu said directly.

These words made the Queen stunned for a moment, and the anger in her heart burned, but she did not vent it out. She just smiled and said: "In this case, I will not keep you any longer. Your Majesty, the Marquis, must take good care of you. You and Li Guo

Once, even if we get married again, we might get divorced again."

"Mingkong has remembered the concerns of the Queen's aunt, but we try hard not to let what the aunt said come true." Zhuge Mingkong stood up, a gentle smile blooming on his beautiful face.
