Chapter 152 Large Labor Force
“How does it feel to reap what you sow?”
Huangfu Qingling looked at the dusty Xiao Changyun and spoke coldly.
"how about you?"
"A woman actually became the emperor!"
Xiao Changyun did not show much anger on his face, but instead sneered.
"Why can't a woman be an emperor?"
Lin Yi asked in return, "The emperor is the ruler of a country. As long as he can govern the country well, what does it matter if he has a woman?"
"It seems you don't know how many female emperors there are in this world!"
His words made Xiao Changyun sneer.
Is it appropriate for a woman to be an emperor?
But Prince Qing was so eager to kill Xiao Changyun immediately.
The secret of Empress Huangfu Qingling had been kept for so many years, but it was revealed by his mouth!
But out of respect for the laws of Dayong, Xiao Changyun had to be tried before he could be killed.
"No need to say more, I failed this time, I have nothing to say."
"If I succeed, you, a woman, will have nothing to be proud of!"
Xiao Changyun still insisted.
"Take it away first."
Huangfu Qingling frowned, but Lin Chuchen's remarks about what was wrong with being a female emperor made her somewhat happy.
After all, there haven't been many mistakes during my years of rule.
Moreover, she was somewhat tired of wearing men's clothes every day.
The most important thing is that she met Lin Yi, such a strange man.
He can consider women's health and even want to break the traditional ethical norms.
"You can clean up here now. I will be back to the palace in a few days."
After Huangfu Qingling said this, she turned and went upstairs.
She also asked Lin Yi to come up.
In Huangfu Qingling's room on the top floor.
"Lin Yi, Empress, you don't have the final say, but is there any way to make my name legitimate?"
If she hadn't been wearing men's clothing for so many years, she would have faced huge obstacles when she ascended to the throne. Even many of her subordinates didn't know she was a woman.
"Of course there are ways, but the best is destiny."
"Destiny?"
Huangfu Qingling was a little curious after hearing Lin Yi's words.
"If Heaven intended for Dayong to produce a female emperor, would anyone have any reason to refuse?"
"Ancestor is one of them."
Lin Yi explained, "Being legitimate is actually very easy. You've already done the hard work. The past few years of governance have been pretty smooth, right?"
If it weren't for the good weather, Lin Yi wouldn't have so much room to play.
Instant noodles and woolen cloth can only be made when there is sufficient food and cattle and sheep.
Moreover, it was in Liangzhou City!
If the border can be of this level, then other places will not be too bad.
"I understand."
"Go and rest, and then you will return to the capital with me!"
"I'm going to give you a higher title!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi quickly refused.
"I'm not an official, have you forgotten?"
"Either you become an official or you are given a title. You can't refuse this, right?"
"I will confer upon you the title of Duke of Lin, and you will be able to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Works."
Huangfu Qingling smiled slightly, "But as for whether or not to interfere in the end, that's your own business."
"If you have some status, you can do things, right?"
Lin Yi thought about what Huangfu Qingling said and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded in agreement.
……
A few days later, after registering and processing a large number of soldiers, converting these "rebels", and dealing with some minor officials.
Huangfu Qingling returned to her loyal capital with dignity.
The capital city, which was originally out of food, quickly solved the problem of food shortage with the delivery of instant noodles from the two major workshops in the east and west.
Although eating instant noodles all the time is always a bit monotonous, at least I won’t go hungry!
Xiao Changyun was tried in public.
Huangfu Qingling personally conducted the trial, and at this time, the identity of the empress was finally known to everyone in the world.
"I sentence you, Xiao Changyun, to be executed in the autumn!"
As these words were spoken, the culprit Xiao Changyun and several ministers were all sentenced to death!
After these officials, both big and small, were sentenced, all the ministers who had been dismissed by Huangfu Qingling returned.
The best among them replaced the position of Shangshu.
Ning Tian became the Minister of Rites, while Bao Bu Tong skipped his rank and became the Minister of Justice.
Of course, the Ministry of War under Yu Jin was the most seriously short of staff among the six ministries.
After all, those people have already served as corvée labor.
After the rewards and punishments were over, Lin Yi, as the Duke of Lin, moved back into the "Lin Mansion", which is now the location of the Chamber of Commerce.
Chen Chong and Xu Chuan became Lin Yi's right-hand men and began to reorganize the market.
Without Xiao Changyun's "extortion", the merchants in the market suddenly burst into a lot of enthusiasm.
And there is enough labor to do what Lin Yi wants to build.
In just one month, the houses around the palace were renovated.
Either increase the height or use cement to make it stronger.
Of course, during this period, Huangfu Qingling also took advantage of Lin Yi's so-called "destiny" trick to make himself more legitimate.
A month later.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Changyun has been executed, and the position of Prime Minister in the court remains vacant."
Bao Bu Tong spoke in the Golden Palace.
In fact, this was arranged by Huangfu Qingling the night before.
She wanted to see how many people supported Lin Yi as prime minister.
He has already been the Duke of Lin and an imperial envoy. With his unparalleled abilities, there should be no problem for him to become a prime minister, right?
"Then, my dear ministers, who is qualified to be the Prime Minister?"
Huangfu Qingling took the opportunity to speak.
"I recommend Lin Yi. He played an indispensable role in both the Liangzhou City incident and the Xiao Changyun rebellion last month."
Bao Bu Tong knelt down and spoke, then began to look around.
After all, not all of these ministers are Huangfu Qingling's people.
There are still many people who are forgiven.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this."
However, he never expected that the first person to stand up was Ning Tian, the Minister of Rites under Huangfu Qingling.
"Since ancient times, prime ministers have all gone through the process of becoming assistant ministers and ministers."
"At the very least, he has to go through the imperial examination. If we let Lin Yi become the prime minister so hastily, I'm afraid..."
"It's hard to explain to the officials and the people."
Ning Tian stated his reasons, "I think the imperial examination should be held as soon as possible so that Lin Yi can achieve honors."
"Yes, do you have anything else to say, my dear?"
Huangfu Qingling was very satisfied. Although Ning Tian opposed it, he was also paving the way for Lin Yi.
Having achievements makes it more legitimate.
"Your Majesty, I believe that if Lin Yi wants to be the Prime Minister, he still needs his own approval."
"As early as in Liangzhou City, I heard that Lin Yi did not want to enter the official career."
The person who spoke was the newly appointed Minister of Personnel, Hao Zhong.
"Then you go and ask and see if Lin Yi can agree to it."
"Retreat!"
After retiring from court, Hao Zhong came to the Chamber of Commerce in the capital.
Walking all the way inside, he found Lin Yi who was busy designing.
"Lord Lin, I have something I would like to discuss."
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Hao Zhong's mouth.
