When Tang Miaoxin said this, she looked at the Minister of Rites with a half-smile and said: "After all, there are a lot of people eyeing this position, don't you think so?"
Minister of Rites: "..."
He glanced at Tang Miaoxin. She had already put on the formal attire of the princess, and she looked very majestic.
The Minister of Rites hurriedly said: "I would like to obey His Highness's will."
Tang Miaoxin glanced at him sideways, curled her lips slightly, and strode forward.
The Minister of Rites frowned slightly.
After what Tang Miaoxin did in Rongzhou was reported back to Yucheng, the mood of the officials was a little complicated.
After all, in their hearts, the princess Tang Miaoxin was not in good health and had a weak temperament.
But what she did in Rongzhou shocked everyone.
The older minister compared her with Tang Jiuge, who had just returned to diving, and felt that there were some similarities.
Tang Jiuge's temperament has become much gentler in recent years, and even when he punishes ministers who have made mistakes, his methods are considered gentle.
So many people have forgotten that when Tang Jiuge chopped off the prisoner's head, he showed no mercy at all.
What Tang Miaoxin did in Rongzhou was basically a repeat of what happened when Tang Jiuge came to power.
But for the greedy ministers, they prefer to have a gentle and easy-to-manage king.
Because in this way, they can get more things.
Don't say that Tang Miaoxin is a woman. Once she ascends the throne, she will be the only empress in the history of Guiqian.
There are many conservative people in the court, and they can never accept a woman taking advantage of them.
Therefore, whenever Fantang Miaoxin doesn't do something well enough, they will attack her.
Among them, there are still many people who want to bypass Tang Miaoxin and let Xiao Tiandou take the throne directly.
Because children seem to be easier to control, the ministers in the DPRK can get more power.
The Minister of Rites is in charge of etiquette and law. At the same time, he is also the most conservative one and the one who is least able to accept a woman ascending the throne and becoming emperor.
Tang Miaoxin's appearance when she entered the palace today made him very dissatisfied:
The way she walked was not dignified enough, the way she saluted was not standard enough, and the way she sat there lacked dignity.
How can such a person be the leader of the country?
It's just that he is also a coward, and he doesn't dare to confront Tang Miaoxin directly about this matter.
Tang Miaoxin's threatening words also made him feel a little uncomfortable: "The leader of the country has never threatened me like this, so why should she?"
Because Tang Miaoxin was exempted from the follow-up etiquette, he had nothing to do.
So with a dark face, he asked his subordinates to take away the things they needed to prepare for the ceremony, then turned and left.
When he was at the gate of the palace, he met Prime Minister Liu Nanjing who came to discuss matters, and he bowed politely.
Liu Nanjing asked: "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly?"
Although the Minister of Rites has known him for many years, the officialdom has always been complicated, and no one really cares about anyone.
Then the Minister of Rites said: "Your Highness has no etiquette in his heart, and he has only performed less than one-third of the etiquette today."
"If this continues, where will the majesty of the royal family be?"
Liu Nanjing just smiled when he heard this, and the Minister of Rites added: "There is still something I don't know whether to say or not."
Liu Nanjing smiled and said: "You asked like this because you really want to say it. Since you really want to say it, just say it."
The Minister of Rites: "...His Highness brought someone back from Rongzhou. His Highness seems to have great regard for that person."
"From the way they talked, it seemed that they wanted to make that person look good."
Liu Nanjing glanced at the Minister of Rites and smiled faintly: "This is a good thing!"
"Your Highness opens up the world and recruits capable talents. This is a sign of a wise king, and it is a blessing for me to return to Qian."
The Minister of Rites who wanted to sow discord: "..."
Liu Nanjing reached out and patted the Minister of Etiquette on the shoulder and said: "In the future, there will be more capable people and strangers in the court to share the work for us. Aren't you happy?"
Minister of Rites: "..."
He is not happy at all!
Liu Nanjing smiled, swayed away with one hand behind his back.
The Minister of Rites used his position to provoke him and wanted him to be the first person, but there was no way.
Liu Nanjing had seen Tang Miaoxin's methods at the last banquet, and also knew that Tang Jiuge was a maniac about doting on women.
Don't say that Tang Miaoxin is extremely capable and will not bring incompetent people into the court.
Even if she is a waste, with Tang Jiuge's support behind her, she can use whomever she wants, and it is definitely not something they, the courtiers, can point out.
Anyone who dares to point fingers doesn’t want to live!
As for the decentralization of power, Liu Nanjing was even more thoughtful.
As the first assistant to Guiqian, he has been working hard every day for these years, but that's about it.
Ruotang Miaoxin really wanted to find a powerful person to help him, but he thought it was a good thing.
Although he is not the kind of prime minister with a stomach that can support a boat, he still has his mind and his magnanimity.
The last thing you can do in Guiqian is to centralize power. When the leader of the country raises his butcher knife, he will never show any mercy.
As for the idea that women are in power over men, he only wants to say that only people with sick minds would think that way.
There are many capable women in this world. As long as their abilities are better than those of men, it doesn't matter if they are in charge.
Not to mention the distance, the Crown Princess's trip to Rongzhou solved the cancer left by Taizu Guiqian.
This ability and method are absolutely superb, surpassing all the ministers in the court.
There are some idiots who want to make a fuss about this matter. Do they think their heads are in the way and want Her Royal Highness to chop them off?
The Minister of Rites waited for Liu Nanjing to leave and spat softly: "Old fox!"
After he scolded him, he felt a little melancholy. Tang Miaoxin acted very forcefully and was not the prince they expected.
In this case, they are likely to be straddled by her.
He doesn't want this to happen.
Tang Miaoxin was unaware of the conversation between the Minister of Rites and Liu Nanjing.
If she knew, she would give Liu Nanjing a thumbs up. She is a truly understanding person.
At this time, Tang Jiuge was telling her about the rough situation of the ministers in the court, and he happened to be talking about Liu Nanjing.
Tang Jiuge had a very good evaluation of Liu Nanjing: "Liu Xiang may look smooth, but he is actually clear-minded and decisive in situations."
"What's rare is that he has a deep chest, is neither flattering nor arrogant, and acts very steadily."
"If you encounter something difficult to decide, you can discuss it with him. His ideas are fair but gentle..."
"Stop!" Tang Miaoxin interrupted him and said, "Dad will tell me about this in two years."
"I'm going to have a baby in the next two years. After I finish spraying the ministers in the court tomorrow, I will go to Qinzhou."
"The ministers in the DPRK may change in two years."
Tang Jiuge said quietly: "Liu Xiang is not even forty this year, he can work until he is at least sixty years old."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
The average life span of people in this era is not very long, and most people can only live to about sixty years old.
So the really cruel one is her father!
