"Since ancient times, when did the sages rule that the emperor had to be a man? Even if there is such a rule, it is a rule — to be a monarch, one must be a human, not a man, and definitely not a beast. "
Jiang Pengji's words had a double meaning. She also scolded several emperors of Dongqing.
Most of the people in Dongqing would agree if they said that they weren't humans but beasts.
Feng Jin sighed. "You have such a sharp tongue. When it comes to quibbling, I can't beat you."
Indeed, the wise sages did not stipulate that the emperor had to be a man.
On the other hand, why couldn't women do it?
There was nothing wrong with this sentence.
To the common people, they did not care who the emperor was. It did not matter if the emperor was a man, a woman, or a beast. They cared more about who could bring them a stable and happy life … Feng Jin was not an arrogant aristocrat. He understood what the common people needed.
The ones who truly cared about the Emperor's gender were probably not the common people, but the aristocratic families and other nobles.
"This is the current custom. Have you ever thought about what you would do if your identity was exposed? All the students in the world will write to condemn you, you … "
Feng Jin's heart wavered, but he still wanted to persuade her to give up.
Jiang Pengji didn't hide it at all. She snorted and said, "The winner takes all. In the future, when he waved his army and chased after the deer, he would kill anyone who refused to submit! A scholar's scolding will be condemned by thousands of people. No matter how fiercely he scolds, it's just a verbal skill. Once the ears are blocked, who cares how he spits? "
Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not satisfied.
It seemed that it was very powerful for scholars to criticize and criticize, but why would Jiang Pengji care about that?
Because she didn't care about fame at all.
If she died, why would she care about the flood behind her?
If you want to blabber, then blabber. Whoever blabbered would be beaten up!
Yes, when it came to such matters, she was just that simple and crude.
There was nothing that could not be suppressed by absolute force. If there was, he would suppress it again.
Feng Jin was silent.
Jiang Pengji had said everything and laid her cards on the table. The atmosphere between the two of them was a little quiet. She could only take the initiative to attack.
"Will you help me or not?"
You've been drooling for so long. You should at least say something. It's very awkward for me to act alone.
Feng Jin looked at her bitterly. "…"
Even if he wasn't being courteous, he should at least put on an act … Also, could he reconsider?
"Help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jin wanted to slap himself. Why did he agree just now?
It was as if he was possessed.
He had previously advised Feng Jue not to act recklessly, but now he was slapped in the face. He was dragged into Jiang Pengji's boat in the blink of an eye, and it was a boat that could sink at any time.
"That's good." Jiang Pengji smiled. Feng Jin could not cry in his heart.
However, he also knew in his heart that after moving the capital, Dongqing would not be far from falling apart.
They didn't even care about the people in Shangjing, so why would they care about the people in other earthquake-stricken areas?
Even a rabbit would bite when it was cornered, let alone a living person.
After Feng Jin figured it out, he wasn't really against it anymore.
Not to mention anything else, just for the sake of his wife and daughter, he had to find a place to settle down in order to protect his family.
Jiang Pengji told him about the arrangement that she had told Xu Ke. Feng Jin's worries were similar to what they had talked about before.
At present, the four things they lacked the most were manpower, money, rice, and medicine.
"You should organize the people in the residence first. I will ask Xiaoyu to transfer the others over. In short, they had to first set up porridge stalls, organize manpower and the surviving citizens to clean up the ruins, and clear out a place to settle the wounded. The aftershocks haven't ended yet, so we have to ensure everyone's safety first. "
Feng Jin knew that Jiang Pengji was doing this for the sake of the people.
"There are only 26 people in Jin's residence, including the guards, maids, and servants. The warehouse has been cleared out, but there are still some meager assets." He pulled himself together and said, "These are secondary … Has Lanting ever thought that if you send troops without a good reason, you will be criticized by others and be suspected by the officials?"
Jiang Pengji already had a way to deal with this. If she used it properly, she might be able to get her a decent official position.
"I want to write a letter to express my feelings, so that I have a good reason to send troops." Jiang Pengji said, "The Emperor abandoned the people and moved the capital elsewhere. Who wouldn't feel guilty doing such a shameless thing? How will he enter the Imperial Mausoleum to meet his ancestors after a hundred years? I think if I take the initiative to take on this matter and help the Emperor cover up his shame, do you think he will be willing? I think not only will he be willing, but he will also be happy to see it happen. "
Everyone understood the logic. The key was that no one dared to stand up, but she dared.
Feng Jin was silent, and his mouth was dry.
He had to admit that the broad-mindedness and even foresight of the person in front of him were rare in the world.
"If I do well, the Emperor will reward me generously and put the credit on my face to fool the people. If I don't do well, he can push all the blame on me and say that I did not do my job well. He will throw all the baseless accusations at me … No matter what, the Emperor will not be at a disadvantage. This is the first point. "Jiang Pengji was calm from beginning to end. This was what Feng Jin admired most about her.
"The second point is that after the capital is moved, the imperial capital will be far away from the three tribes of the Northern borderline. The Emperor will naturally not have sleepless nights, and Chongzhou will be less important to Dongqing. My existence as a hostage will not be as important as before. The Emperor will allow me to stay. "
"Good plan," Feng Jin said.
It was a good plan, but in the eyes of others, the effort and gain were not comparable. Who would be willing to do that?
"I think so too." Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest and giggled. "Therefore, I will have to trouble Huaiyu to write the memorial for me."
Feng Jin's expression froze. He was dumbfounded.
The bullet screen in the streaming room was full of laughter, sweeping away the solemnity from before.
Yingyang Kuaixian: "No, my dear Feng Jin has not completely joined the streamer's pirate ship. Is it really good to reveal your true colors so soon?
What if you scare him away?
Don't be afraid, capture him. "
"I still have to deal with the matter of money and rations. Xiaoyu is not by my side. Who else should I trouble if not you?"
Such a matter-of-fact tone made Feng Jin's hands itch.
However, she said she could solve the problem of money and rations?
It was not that Feng Jin did not believe Jiang Pengji, but he felt that it was a fantasy.
"Believe me." After Jiang Pengji finished speaking, her expression returned to its usual calmness.
Submitting a petition to explain the situation had a high chance of success. Or rather, it was a done deal.
The Dongqing Emperor had been wary of Liu She for a long time. In the past, it was because of Hu County. Now, it was because he was the Chongzhou magistrate and was guarding the borders.
If Jiang Pengji did well, the Emperor could shamelessly steal the credit and minimize the impact of moving the capital and save some face.
If Jiang Pengji did not do well, not only would she be tricked, but even Liu She would not be able to escape. His position as Chongzhou magistrate would be taken away.
This was a huge gamble. In everyone's eyes, she would lose without a doubt.
But it was also because of this that she wanted everyone's jaws to drop.
