Chapter 272: Overwhelming Public Opinion

Before the emperor could say anything, he saw Lord Liu, who had a big belly and a poop belly just now, with a sad and unwilling look between his eyebrows and eyes standing up.

"Your Majesty! This matter must not be done, and you need to ask Your Majesty to think twice! ”

With the voice of this Lord Liu, then this morning, Lord Sun, who was deliberately outside the court and embarrassed Zhuang Mingyue, also couldn't wait to stand up and echo: "Your Majesty! Please think twice about this matter! ”

Listening to the shouts coming out one after another behind him, the faint smile on Zhuang Mingyue's face not only did not fade, but even faintly showed signs of expansion.

Zhuang Mingyue knew that since the emperor had promised her to be the county lord, no matter how strongly these ministers who were hostile to her tried to stop her today, the emperor would definitely canonize her as the county lord, and might even use this opportunity to teach this group of ministers a lesson.

As Zhuang Mingyue thought, as the noisy opposition of the ministers behind her became stronger, the emperor on the dragon chair frowned even tighter.

Zhuang Mingyue, who felt ridiculous in her heart, turned sideways slightly and looked at Lord Sun, who had the strongest opposition, "Lord Sun, I don't know what contradiction Mingyue has with you?" ”

How could Master Sun not hear the meaning of Zhuang Mingyue's words?

I saw him snort coldly, and then flicked his sleeves and continued to pray to the emperor in the high hall, "Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the county lords have been orphans of the royal family, or people who have made significant contributions to the royal family, and Zhuang Mingyue is just an ordinary man, how can he be honored to receive such a great gift?! ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who was almost amused by Lord Sun's indignant appearance, sighed a little helplessly, "What did Lord Sun say...... It's really ...... It broke my heart as a county lord! ”

Lord Sun, who was lowering his eyes to meet the emperor, heard that Zhuang Mingyue claimed to be the county lord, so he suddenly raised his head and looked over in disbelief, "You...... You! ”

For Master Sun's attitude, Zhuang Mingyue not only didn't mind in the slightest, but didn't even look at him.

"Your Majesty, Mingyue knows that her contribution to Your Majesty is not as high as that of the ministers, but Mingyue has indeed done a lot of ......things to serve the country recently," Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, paused, as if she remembered something sad.

After a long while, Zhuang Mingyue continued: "Some time ago, when His Majesty appointed me as an official, the ministers kept stopping it, and Mingyue also knew the pros and cons at that time, so she chose to resign. But now...... But now, under the circumstance that Mingyue has done so much, the ministers still stop it like this, which really hurts Mingyue's heart. ”

In the end, these words even faintly revealed a bit of crying.

Master Sun, who was blocked from speaking, looked at Zhuang Mingyue's 'extremely hypocritical' appearance, and only felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.

But just because in recent times, Zhuang Mingyue's methods have been useful in both the flood and the drought in the southwest, and they do not need to consume huge manpower and financial resources.

So even if he wants to slander Zhuang Mingyue as a useless person now, it is clearly impossible.

But if Zhuang Mingyue was allowed to ascend to the position of county lord, he would be unwilling in every way. You know, although the county lord doesn't

can wantonly publish things about the court as before, but this rank and status are far higher than the previous official position.

Lord Sun, who wanted to be here, frowned, and when he was about to speak out against this matter again, he saw a person from the White Egret Academy stand up.

"Lord Sun, since you are so opposed to Miss Zhuang being canonized as the county lord by His Majesty, should you give some reason?" He stared sideways at Lord Sun beside him, and then spoke again: "Otherwise, how can Lord Sun oppose the decision made by His Majesty?!" ”

Master Sun, who was refuted, stared sideways at the person who was speaking, he didn't expect that this person was a person from Egret Academy, and he would dare to stand up and speak for Zhuang Mingyue at this moment.

But as he said, if he had no way to say that Zhuang Mingyue was not worthy of the position of the county lord, then he repeatedly provoked like this, which could be regarded as a provocation of the imperial power.

"You!" Master Sun, who was so angry by his attitude, couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while, so he had to stare at him and Zhuang Mingyue with dry eyes.

Seeing that Master Sun couldn't say anything about the gamble, Zhuang Mingyue didn't say anything, just turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Mingyue knows that her status is humble, but Mingyue's loyalty to you, presumably Your Majesty also sees it in your eyes." ”

As Zhuang Mingyue said this, the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair finally spoke up again slowly, "Thinking about the doubts and incomprehensions of Zhong Aiqing, the county lord of Qinghe has already answered your questions and solved your doubts, since this is the case, I don't need to say more about this matter." ”

"Today, I specially enshrine Zhuang Mingyue of the Zhuang clan as the lord of Qinghe County, reward 1,000 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk and satin, and 100 quintals of gold, silver and jewelry!" As the emperor's words fell, the faces of everyone in the court also became varied.

Because they knew that if the emperor gave this reward to those who said it, then the matter of the county lord could really not be taken back, and no matter how they objected, it would be meaningless except to do useless work.

The emperor on the dragon chair saw the expressions on everyone's faces clearly through the hat curtain.

But he didn't say much, but looked at everyone's different faces with interest.

When the emperor saw Zhuang Mingyue's relaxed and calm appearance, he couldn't help but flash Long Sitong's somewhat chubby figure in his mind, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

In his eyes, Long Sitong is still like a child who has never grown up, and the edification he has received from soaking in the harem all day long is of no use except for the means of the harem ladies who cannot be put on the stage.

And this degree of petty family spirit is very easy to bring the most useless ability to Long Sitong in the end.

As soon as he thought of this, the emperor himself was quite interested in looking at everyone's demeanor, and he became a little impatient for a while.

Because in his subconscious, since he can have a capable person like Zhuang Mingyue, and he is also a woman. In addition to wanting to take Zhuang Mingyue into his pocket, he also hopes that his daughter can be more competitive.

Not to mention being able to have the ability to be like Zhuang Mingyue, so smart, at least you can have your own ability, instead of learning how to compete for favor with a group of women in the harem all day long.

Come to think of this

The emperor of the city, and then looked at Zhuang Mingyue, who was maneuvering with everyone below, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Zhuang Mingyue, who saw the emperor's changes in his eyes, saluted the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, Qinghe still has a summer relief to present to Your Majesty today." ”

The emperor, who was a little helpless, heard Zhuang Mingyue's words, and immediately remembered the words she mentioned yesterday.

Immediately, the emperor who was a little interested came, and his frowning brows relaxed, "Oh? Then bring it up and see it with me. ”

As the emperor's words fell, Zhuang Mingyue clapped her hands, and the few palace maids who had been waiting outside the hall walked in with a plate in their hands.

When the group of palace maids came to the side, Zhuang Mingyue raised her hand and added the contents of those plates to the crushed ice cubes one by one, "Your Majesty, this is a dessert that Qinghe has recently researched and can make people feel cool in this hot summer." ”

Although everyone didn't know what Zhuang Mingyue had made, they all knew all the materials that had just been made in front of them.

Before everyone could react, Zhuang Mingyue had already offered the shaved ice. Zhuang Mingyue looked at the strawberry jam and ingredients that she had made herself, and only felt that she had been hooked up by the heat of this summer.

The emperor, who took the spoon and tasted it, couldn't help but light up his eyes after tasting it carefully, and after tasting two mouthfuls in succession again, he put down the spoon in his hand.

He said to the Liufu who was serving beside him: "Divide this thing with Zhong Aiqing to taste." ”

The emperor knew that even if he said that Zhuang Mingyue was doing this kind of thing to relieve the heat now, I was afraid that those ministers who opposed it would still resent Zhuang Mingyue.

In this case, it is better to let everyone taste this thing for themselves. In this way, there is a reason for him to reward Zhuang Mingyue with this food.

In this way, Lukfook had already separated the shaved ice in his hand for everyone.

The minister who has a friendly attitude towards Zhuang Mingyue, or a minister with a neutral attitude, is naturally extremely straightforward and amazing.

But for this kind of food, those ministers who were hostile to Zhuang Mingyue would naturally choose to keep their faces black. Refuse to admit it.

But even so, they knew very well what the emperor meant by giving them this food, and what it was for.

Sure enough, before everyone could speak, they saw the emperor on the dragon chair and rewarded Zhuang Mingyue again.

The faces of the people who were black-faced suddenly became even darker.

Because of the emperor's special seal, it didn't take long for Zhuang Mingyue to become the Tiansheng Dynasty and the famous Qinghe County Lord.

After all, in the final analysis, the rumors of Zhuang Mingyue's original are enough for a woman to be talked about.

But coupled with this incident, it made Zhuang Mingyue, the Qinghe county lord who is now a saint, a topic of conversation among everyone.

With Zhuang Mingyue's reputation, the next time it became popular in this Tiansheng Dynasty, the famous Zhuang Mingyue soon began to enter and leave the palace from time to time.
