Chapter 124: Flooding Fengyang PalaceHe glanced at the kid who seemed to be obedient on the surface, but actually didn't care at all. Emperor Xuanwu continued slowly: "Just now, I and Master Ye discussed that if we want to centrally manage those local chambers of commerce, it would be best to set up another position of president of the general chamber of commerce in Beijing. This person must also be selected from among the merchants, and his status must be able to convince the public. Most importantly, the president of the Chamber of Commerce must not have any selfish motives, and must be able to withstand the pressure from countless noble families and important officials in the court. You think, this position..." When he said this, Emperor Xuanwu paused for a while on purpose. Yun Shu thought he wanted to ask her if she could think of any suitable candidate. The next second, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly changed the subject. "How about you do it?" Yun Shu: “???” "Absolutely not, Father!" Yun Shu almost jumped up: "Don't you know how capable I am? I am still studying in the upper study with my eight-year-old brother! On weekdays, my Sixth Prince always does his homework better than me.
If I have to say, it would be much better for the Sixth Prince to be the President of the Chamber of Commerce than for me, his son. After all, the Sixth Prince’s maternal family is still the richest in Jiangnan! If you let your Sixth Brother be the president of this Chamber of Commerce, Prime Minister Liu will definitely be the first to take the lead in supporting him!" "But I am more optimistic about you." With evil amusement, he admired Yun Shu's expression that looked as if his buttocks were burned by fire, and Emperor Xuanwu continued to speak at a leisurely pace: "You are the one who founded the Tianwaitian Restaurant and made a fortune from the earth dragon business. Compared to Lao Liu, the spendthrift who only knows how to spend money, you are obviously more qualified." "But Erchen really doesn't have time to be the president!" Yun Shu once again used the study room as an excuse: "I still have to study!" "Not in the way." Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows: “You haven’t done your homework anyway, so you’ll be free after school. The Chamber of Commerce president shouldn't have much to deal with in the early stages, so this is a good opportunity for you to slowly get started and get familiar with the job." "But……" "This matter is settled." Emperor Xuanwu did not give her the opportunity to continue: "From what I have seen from your previous actions, it seems that you are trying to improve the status of women in the Tiansheng Dynasty. Now I give you this opportunity to become the first woman to serve as an official in this court. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you. " Yun Shu, who originally had a lot of excuses to make, suddenly fell silent. It must be said that Emperor Xuanwu's last words really moved her. There are too many restrictions on women in this era. They were trapped in a cage and struggled hard but couldn't get out. Perhaps what she had done before had successfully brought a little light to some women.
But it will take time for a firefly to illuminate the world. It requires a long period of accumulation. But if she could successfully enter the court as a woman, with her standing in front and the bright moon rising, wouldn't the road for those who come after her be much easier? even though…… Forget it, never mind, just do it! Fearing that he would regret it later, Yun Shu simply took advantage of the emotion and agreed directly: "My son, take your orders!" "Ah." It turns out that I have to start from the point that this little girl cares about in order to control her. Emperor Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead. Although you don't need to attend court for the time being, you still have to show up at the morning court in a few days when I issue an edict to grant you an official position. Be well prepared, don't let anything go wrong due to nervousness. If you embarrass yourself, I won’t help you.” "Don't worry, Father," Still have to go to court! She really couldn't help but start to feel regretful! Yun Shu responded sullenly: "My son, please retire." …… The weather in Beijing has been gradually getting warmer since New Year's Eve. On the way back from the Imperial Study, Yun Shu carefully avoided the eaves of the houses, fearing that he would be hurt when he walked under them. Just then, a large piece of snow on the roof melted and slid down and hit her on the head. Tingxue followed behind her and considerately held an umbrella to help her block the snow water dripping from the beams and branches. Finally, I returned to Fengyang Palace dry and happy. As a result, just as I walked to the door, I heard a chaotic cry from inside - "Quickly bring a bucket! It will take Eunuch An a long time to get back to Yaohua Palace from here, and we can't stop him here!" "It's over, it's over. The front yard has been flooded. By the time Eunuch An returns to Yaohua Palace, I'm afraid the entire Fengyang Palace will have been flooded!" "What should we do? Should we send someone to report to the princess?" "Don't go!" The last sound, which was obviously jumping up and down, was Yun Chuhuan's. "It's not a particularly serious matter. This prince said that if we can solve it before Fifth Sister comes back, we can do it! Why are you panicking? Come and get some water! " Yun Shu: “…” What a niche vocabulary. Her Fengyang Palace was flooded. Flooded...
She must be crazy, otherwise how could she hear such outrageous words? There isn't even a pond in Fengyang Palace! Yun Shu, who was totally confused, walked quickly into the front yard. Sure enough, the water in her originally clean and tidy courtyard was now up to her ankles. In the corner, several young eunuchs were trying to block something under the command of Yun Chuhuan. But it was obviously not blocked, and the water was splashing like a shower, flying all over the sky! In order to scoop out all the water in the yard, a group of palace maids not only took out all the buckets, but some even used pots, pans, and utensils! But even so, their efforts seem to be of no use at all. Yun Shu took a deep breath, originally wanting to suppress his emotions a little. As a result, the breath he inhaled turned into an extremely explosive roar after the energy sank into his dantian: "Yun Chuhuan, come here!" "Five, five sister!" Unexpectedly, Yun Shu came back at this time. Yun Chuhuan's body trembled, and he quickly put on a flattering smile, turned his head and stammered a dry laugh: "Why, why did you come back so soon?" "Do I have to inform you before I return to my own residence?" Yun Shu gritted his teeth, pointed at the mess in her yard, and said word by word: "You'd better explain to me what's going on!" Even referring to himself as "this lady", Yun Chuhuan shrank his neck and his voice became weaker: "Didn't you, Fifth Sister, ask me to find a way to divert the water from Yaohua Palace to Fengyang Palace? I just wanted to give you a surprise, and then..." Yun Shu: “…”
