Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

Chapter 49 His wife is the richest person in the capital!

This...how can this be possible?

The princes' faces changed instantly.

Does the emperor really have this idea?

The eldest prince clenched his fists. It was that evildoer again. Could it be that his father really had such thoughts? He was his father's eldest son!

The hall was silent, everyone was waiting for the emperor's words.

The emperor frowned when he saw the atmosphere become tense.

He was actually thinking about this matter seriously. Before Xianxian was born, all his descendants were sons, and he had never considered that a princess would inherit the throne.

But none of his princes were capable of anything.

Although Xianxian is a girl, she has quite a bit of his style.

At that time, the emperor thought that if Xianxian was a son, he would definitely make her the crown prince.

But what happened today made Long Jingcheng think deeply.

He is the emperor and his decision will never be affected by personal feelings or prejudice.

First, Hua Rong, a woman, destroyed the Northern Territory and enhanced the prestige of our Dayong country. Then, during the time of the late emperor, General Yang made outstanding contributions in the battle of Southern Xinjiang.

The women of Dayong have never been inferior, they just don't have the opportunity to serve as officials or join the army. Who says women are inferior to men?

If his mother hadn't been a woman, she might have been an outstanding politician. His princess...

Longjingcheng does feel narrow-minded!

Xianxian is the reincarnation of a god. After listening to her inner voice several times, if her previous life was really as she said, she would have dared to challenge the Nine Heavens. What are these mortals like them?

"Grand Marshal, please stand up. I will investigate what you have said. If it is true, then the honor of your wife should be restored. Throughout our dynasty, there has been no precedent for women serving in the military. However, women in our dynasty are also citizens of Dayong. I believe that all of our subjects should enjoy equal rights. I will consider this matter carefully, and I hope that you, the ministers, will encourage me!"

The Grand Marshal immediately kowtowed in support: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Some courtiers also knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

But many court officials disagreed, and the Minister of Personnel stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think this is unacceptable. A woman in power would disrupt the government. The previous dynasty was overthrown by the Empress Zhu. Your Majesty, remember this, this is unacceptable!"

The Minister of Rites also stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, a hen crowing at dawn will bring chaos to the world!"

The Minister of Personnel said: "Your Majesty, please do not let this trend go unchecked. If this continues, we will resign immediately and will never serve in the same court with a woman!"

[He's really blocking his own daughters' path by saying this. This Minister of Personnel has nine daughters. He's quite ambitious in his quest for a son, even marrying thirteen concubines. But sadly, he hasn't produced a single son!]

After these words were spoken, the Minister of Personnel was stunned!

Everyone looked at the Minister of Personnel, and the Grand Marshal couldn't help but laugh and said, "Minister Lin, don't shoot yourself in the foot!"

The Minister of Personnel snorted coldly: "I am upright and honest, and I am talking about serious matters!"

[It's really embarrassing. He had nine daughters in a row, five of whom were talented and well-known throughout the capital. But unfortunately, he didn't have a single son, which worried him terribly. His daughters were dissatisfied and planned to dress up as men to take the imperial examination this year to show their father that they were not bad. But now, their father has blocked their way!]

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Personnel was dumbfounded!

what?

This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

The Minister of Personnel hurriedly knelt down, after all, she was his daughter!

"Your Majesty, I was confused. Please forgive me!"

Long Jingcheng was speechless: Where is your toughness just now!

Ping'an Hou couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I also feel this is inappropriate. The previous dynasty was fine, but what if a harem dictatorship develops? I still believe that women should be the masters of the household. Only when yin and yang are in harmony can the family and the country be safe!"

Some people who supported Marquis Ping'an nodded in approval.

This old man's legs are almost half buried, yet he's still meddling in other people's business. Even the Grandfather wouldn't dare to meddle in the affairs of the Grandmother. If he has that much time for that, he'd be better off paying more attention to your wife. Your wife owns the largest restaurant in the capital, and she's also opened many more across the country. Do you know who the richest person in the capital is right now? It's your wife!

Everyone looked at Marquis Ping'an!

what?

The largest restaurant in the capital is Wangyunlou. Its business is so good that everyone thinks it is run by a member of the royal family.

I didn’t expect that she was the wife of Marquis Ping’an!

Marquis Ping'an shuddered slightly. His wife was the richest person in the capital!

He didn't even know anything about it!

[Tsk, this old man must not know that he's so arrogant at home that his wife doesn't even bother to pay attention to him. She's only focused on making money. However, his status as Marquis of Ping'an is very useful, and it makes sense for his wife to use it.]

Marquis Ping'an staggered slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead!

He knows nothing!

It's the other way around!

If this old man had known better, he could have enjoyed his retirement. If he continues, his wife will probably divorce him. He's a piece of crap anyway!

The general smiled and came up to Marquis Ping'an.

"Old Marquis, thank you very much. Your Madam is as brave as a man!"

Others still wanted to refute, but now they dared not. If they stood up, they might be stripped of their pants by the little princess!

The emperor never expected that the richest person in the capital would be the wife of Marquis Ping'an.

Moreover, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel also had to take the imperial examination.

The emperor suddenly had an idea.

"There's no rush for this. I have a suggestion. How about allowing women to take the imperial examination this time? If a woman excels in this exam, we can recruit her and see what happens next."

Once these words were spoken, it undoubtedly opened the way for women to enter officialdom.

But His Majesty only said to give it a try, and did not completely decide on the matter, which made it difficult for the court officials who wanted to stop it to stop it for a while.

Especially the Minister of Personnel, he was an important official in the court, and everyone looked up to him.

But he still has five daughters, and they are all talented. Your Majesty's words are undoubtedly giving his five golden flowers a chance to enter the officialdom, which is a time to bring honor to the family.

The Minister of Personnel suddenly became stiff. Before, the elders in his clan had mocked him, saying that being a minister was nothing when he didn't even have a son.

But as Your Majesty said, what about a daughter?

My daughter can also succeed!

That’s it!

The Grand Marshal immediately took the lead: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Long Xianxian felt that her father was particularly majestic.

[Wow, Father, this is a brilliant decision! If I ever join the army, you can't stop me! I want to be like Sister Hua and Grandma Yang! I want to be an awesome general! I don't want to be a crown prince. It's so boring!]

Speaking of the prince again!

The ministers listened to the little princess's thoughts in silence.

What exactly does your majesty mean?

Moreover, many of the princes have grown up, and it is time for Your Majesty to appoint a crown prince!

The eldest prince looked at his close ministers and nodded at him.

So the man stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The emperor held Long Xianxian in his arms and sat on the dragon throne again. He frowned when he heard his daughter say this. Why did his daughter think about this again?

Emperor: "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, the succession to the throne involves the safety of the entire nation. Many disasters and chaos in the past dynasties were caused by the Crown Prince's failure to make decisions early. I hope Your Majesty will make plans soon!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent!

Long Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the princes.

What a bastard, he actually coveted his throne so early!

"My father is still young, why appoint a crown prince so early? Is this old man cursing my father to die early?"

When the man heard this, he knelt down in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I…I have absolutely no such intention!"
