After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
Chapter 473 - 473 Her influence on him was not just ordinary473 Her influence on him was not just ordinary
The emperor naturally noticed the gazes of the courtiers looking at him.
He looked at everyone and asked, “Do you think that Shi Qingluo is not worthy of being a princess after offering high-yield seeds twice so that the residents in Daliang can have a full meal in the future? She has also offered recipes for smelting iron, to make glass and canned food, all to generate funds for our national treasury.”
As soon as he said that, Old Master Xi stood up and said, “The emperor is wise. Lady Shi has made so many contributions to Daliang. She deserves the title of a princess.”
Even without his grandson’s relationship, he felt that it was not a big deal for Shi Qingluo to be conferred the title of princess.
Not to mention that their family had made a lot of money because of the rubber.
Old Master Liang also stood up immediately. “Your Majesty is wise. I also feel that she deserves the title of a princess.
“In the future, if anyone have the ability to contribute like Lady Shi, I believe that the emperor will also give the same reward.”
What he was implying was that there would probably be no other Shi Qingluo in the entire Daliang.
“I agree with the suggestion,” Old Master Fei said.
“This goose found the potatoes, so it was bestowed as the king goose and given a death-free medallion. I think Your Majesty is wise.”
He really didn’t know why these people were eyeing a big goose.
Who’s life was affected when a goose received a death-exemption medallion?
This time, even Old Master Qi stood up. “I agree!”
With a few old masters expressing their stance, more than half of the courtiers stood up. “My opinion is in line with this!”
Shi Qingluo’s contributions were indelible, so it was not a big deal for her to be a princess.
It was better than directly giving the credit to Xiao Hanzheng and giving him a noble title.
Besides, it was just a big goose.
Even if it was the king of the goose, so what if it had a death-exemption medallion?
Who would kill a goose for no reason?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow could they not see the emperor’s attitude now? He was clearly on Shi Qingluo’s side.
This time, even the crown prince, who usually didn’t express much, said, “I also think that Shi Qingluo is worthy of the title of a princess and her goose to be the king of geese. My father is wise!”
When the other princes heard this, they cursed the crown prince in their hearts for being shameless. Not only did he flatter the dragon, but he also won Shi Qingluo’s favor.
So they all got up and said the same thing.
The emperor looked at the majority of the courtiers who had agreed, and his eyes finally revealed a satisfied expression.
He looked at the official who had just been scolded by Shi Qingluo.
“Shi Qingluo’s contributions are much greater than yours. I am the one who bestowed her the title of a princess, yet you criticized and scolded her in public. Are you dissatisfied with me? ”
The official immediately knelt down. “I don’t dare to.”
“You don’t dare to, but who knows how you are cursing in your heart.
“Princess Fubao is a first-rank princess, and you’re just a third-rank general. It’s outrageous for you to offend your superior in public.
“I haven’t seen you do much that is beneficial to the imperial court and the people with your current position. You should stop being an official.”
Then, he ordered his men to remove his black official’s hat and chase him out of the palace.
He had been bribed by the traitor of the previous dynasty.
The name list that Zhuo Jun had given him had been verified by his men.
And this person’s position in the Ministry of Personnel was quite important.
The emperor had been thinking about how to remove him from his position without arousing the suspicion of those from the previous dynasty.
Who would have thought that Shi Qingluo would be so helpful, directly passing him a knife?
She was indeed his lucky star.
The official had not expected that he would lose his position just because he had questioned Shi Qingluo.
He was filled with regret and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
“You only know how to beg for mercy now,” Shi Qingluo said deliberately. “That’s how disrespectful you are to His Majesty.
“It’s also the emperor’s benevolence, otherwise you would have been thrown into prison. Now that you can be a commoner, you should quickly thank his benevolence.”
The minister uttered under his breath, shut up and be a human.
Who would have thought that the emperor would agree. “That’s right. Although you have not made any achievements over the years, you have been an official for more than ten years. Based on the things that your family members have done, you should indeed be imprisoned.”
Did they really think he had a good temper?
When he heard the emperor’s words, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
It turned out that the emperor actually knew about the things his family members had done in the dark. He immediately knelt down and thanked the emperor, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
If the emperor continued to investigate, his family would be in trouble.
The emperor waved his hand, and his guards immediately came forward to drag the man away.
He looked at his limp appearance and sneered in his heart. Did he think he could escape? In his dreams.
He remembered all the things these people had done.
After gathering the evidence of him colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty, even sending him to the border would be giving him a light punishment.
As the man was dragged away, the officials who had previously targeted Shi Qingluo seemed to have suddenly turned mute.
They silently returned to their seats and sat down, no longer speaking.
It seemed like they had underestimated the emperor’s favor and liking of Shi Qingluo.
Her tactful flattering had actually caused the emperor to remove a third-rank official from his black silk hat. Her influence on him was not just ordinary.
They would be a fool to provoke her.
Moreover, everyone could also see that at this time, Shi Qingluo was not only eloquent but also very bold.
If anyone targeted her, she would not hesitate to fight back.
The one who stood out just now had already been killed as a warning to the others.
No one wanted to lose their position again.
The corners of the emperor’s lips curled up as he ordered the imperial kitchen to serve the dishes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe emperor took the lead to taste the main course and dishes made of potatoes.
The taste was indeed not bad, and it could fill one’s stomach.
This was a great thing for the imperial court and the people.
There were also many ministers present who gave their all to the country and its people.
They were emotional as they ate the potatoes.
After the corn was harvested this year, each prefecture would receive a lot of seeds for planting.
With these potato seeds, the residents would have two additional high-yield crops next year, and they would be able to have a full meal.
It had to be said that Shi Qingluo’s contribution was really great.
Of course, if she was just an ordinary village woman, they could easily ask her to leave.
But she wasn’t, so they would try their best to be on good terms with her.
Looking at the Xi, Liang, and Fei families, they had been relying on Shi Qing’s ideas to earn money.
No wonder they would stand firmly on Shi Qingluo’s side.
The second generation of the Liang family, Liang Youqian, had a successful canned food workshop in the South.
Recently, there were a few more canned food shops in the capital.
The price of canned fruit imported from the South was extremely expensive, but as long as a batch was taken out, it would be sold out quickly, and there was an obvious shortage of supply.
They also thought that the canned lychees and oranges were delicious, but they were too expensive.
Liang Youxiao was also earning like crazy from the canned food.
This was his benefit for hanging out with Shi Qingluo.
The emperor’s glass workshop had also recently produced a batch of glass cups and glass mirrors.
The glass was crystal clear, and when wine from the Western regions was poured into it, it looked very noble.
And that glass mirror could actually reflect a person so clearly, it was amazing to look at.
All the wastrel females across families expressed their desires to get one, but unfortunately, the emperor did not allow the workshop to sell it to the public, making everyone wait until they were anxious.
Shi Qingluo offered all these, she was really a golden doll.
No, they had to have a good talk with their children at home and tell them to get in touch with Shi Qingluo more and befriend her.
