Chapter 990 Si Chen

Xiao Yu sighed in his heart and said pleasantly: "Yang Yushi, you don't seem to be looking well. How about you go back and rest first?"

Yang Yushi is famous for his bad temper, rigid character, and merciless speech.

Xiao Yu must help Gu Fei establish his prestige today. He has already dealt with Zhou Shilang, which is enough to scare the monkeys. He doesn't want to take advantage of another one.

Things like Jin Yiwei's spying on officials' privacy should not be revealed in public.

 Otherwise, the courtiers may endanger everyone.

What Xiao Yu said was a hint to Yang Yushi not to say anything else, lest everyone would be unable to get off the stage.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yushi didn't take Xiao Yu's advice at all. He walked out, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please take back your order regarding the Queen's supervision of the country."

 “There is a saying since ancient times that the hen is responsible for the morning and is the only source of family.”

“Women’s interference in political affairs is not the way for a country to rise or fall.”

 “I sincerely ask the emperor to take back his order.”

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Yang Yushi, let me ask you, are the suggestions put forward by Queen Cai just now beneficial to the country?"

Yang Yushi bowed and replied: "It will be beneficial to the country."

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Since it is a strategy that is beneficial to the country, can it be that just because the person who proposed the strategy is a woman, this strategy cannot be used?"

Yang Yushi was stunned, "Chen, what I mean is that the queen should not interfere in the government affairs."

"The Queen's suggestions are mediocre. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will naturally have better strategies."

Xiao Yu said calmly: "In that case, Yang Yushi will make some suggestions on what Zheng Shangshu proposed."

Yang Yushi said after a while: "I think Zheng Shangshu's proposal is very good."

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Don't you know that Yang Yushi appoints people based on their merit?"

"In ancient times, Gan Luo Twelve was the prime minister. Since young children can participate in state affairs, why can't the queen? Just because the queen is a woman?"

 “Yang Yushi’s idea is so narrow-minded.”

Just as Yang Yushi was about to defend himself, Taishi Su stepped forward and said: "My intention is the same as the emperor's. The Great Qi Dynasty has just been established, and it is time to send talents in an eclectic way. Since the queen has talents, why can't she contribute to the country?"

Yang Yushi glared at Taishi Su and flicked his sleeves: "It is inconsistent with etiquette and law for a woman to do politics!"

Gu Fei couldn't help it, "What are etiquette and laws? Etiquette and laws are just man-made rules, and they are not necessarily correct."

 “Etiquette and laws have been different throughout the dynasties.”

 “The times are changing, and etiquette should also conform to the changes of the times.”

“If etiquette and law have remained unchanged since ancient times, and there was no theory of three obediences and four virtues for women before the Han Dynasty, shouldn’t it be necessary to restore the old system before the Han Dynasty?”

Yang Yushi pointed at Gu Fei, "You, ignorant woman, you are sophistry!"

Gu Fei said calmly: "Ignorance?"

“I would like to ask Yang Yushi how much tax revenue the whole country had last year? How much was it in each county? Do you know how much arable land there is in the country? Do you know how many fields were flooded by floods in the south last year? How many people were killed or injured?”

Yang Censor's mouth twitched, "I, I am the Censor, these are the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

“The censor’s duty is to supervise all officials! You don’t need to know this!”

Gu Fei said coldly: "Yang Yushi, as an official of the imperial court, does not know the sufferings of the people. He only knows that he only makes groundless accusations based on etiquette and dogma. What is the benefit to the country?"

Yang Yushi was extremely angry and pointed at Gu Fei, "I will not argue with an ignorant woman!"

Gu Fei smiled faintly and said, "The reason is unclear. If the censor is really right, then he will say it and let the officials judge."

Yang Yushi can't say anything, he is the kind of person who must speak according to etiquette.
