Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Then, a bitter smile.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi said, "This mathematics is a big deal. I am trying to win over the world's mathematical talents. How can I not pay attention to it?"

Queen Zhang smiled: "What Your Majesty wants is the affairs of the world, but I am different. What I am trying to do is just how the small vassal exams were. She has grown up with me since she was a child. The quality of her exams is the most important thing for me."

Emperor Hongzhi laughed awkwardly, nodded, and said insincerely: "Yes, I hope she did a good job in the exam."

Queen Zhang said angrily: "Your Majesty only said that he did a good job in the exam. It seems that he has no confidence in Xiaofan."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "She is still young after all, and she is a woman... No, I don't mean to despise her, but of course I have to encourage her children, but there is no need to have too much expectations."

The couple was discussing, but outside, an eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Liu Jian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and others, are asking for a visit."

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and looked at Queen Zhang with a smile. He thought to himself that Queen Zhang had been mistressed by someone recently, and always wanted to prove that women were powerful. Today... she had to accept reality.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Call in."

Queen Zhang became nervous and couldn't help but grab the handkerchief.

Liu Jian and the other two hurried in, and their faces were all very bad.

The three of them bowed and Xie Qian said, "Your Majesty, I presided over the math competition. Now... the result of this math competition has come out."

Emperor Hongzhi looked happy: "Then, many talents must have been selected?"

Xie Qian said seriously: "That's right, not only selected many talents, but also selected an unprecedented talent." He smiled bitterly in his heart when he said this.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who were standing beside him, also looked speechless.

How should I explain this to Your Majesty?

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up. He stood up and held his hands behind his back, excited: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went to inspect the Censor's Office privately. When he saw many new wise Jinshi coming out one after another, he said proudly: "The heroes of the world are in the world!"; Today, when the country is employed, my math competition is the same as Emperor Taizong of Tang. Hahahaha... I really want to know why the Xie Qing family compared this talent to an unprecedented talent. Since the Xie Qing family dared to speak so much, I want to listen with pride. Don't worry, I am eager to seek talent. If it is indeed a great talent, I will definitely not be confined to it and have high expectations."

"This..." Xie Qian was a little difficult to say.

He was wondering, if Your Majesty knew that he was a woman, and... the girl from the Fang family would be happy or worried?

Queen Zhang was impatient and said so much, so she told me how to take the exam in this small vassal. Where did she come from so much? The small vassal is so smart that she can at least be ranked among the middle class, right?

Xie Qian had just plucked up the courage and said: "This time, there were more than 2,000 candidates participating in the competition, with an average score of fifty-one points, of which more than 60 points were more than 370; those with more than 80 points were eight..."

More than eighty...only eight people.

Then these eight people must be the best talent.

Xie Qian said again: "It's just that the top of the list is even more different. She took the exam...one hundred points."

The average score is only fifty-one.

It is no longer easy to get to 80, it is rare.

OK.

Someone actually got a score of 100 points.

"Who is this person?"

"Submit Fang..." Xie Qian smiled bitterly: "Fang Xiaofan."

“…”

Suffocating silence.

Emperor Hongzhi looked tragic.

Scared.

Even Queen Zhang felt unbelievable, she opened her eyes wide.

"Ah..." Queen Zhang made a strange sound.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Queen Zhang continued to make a strange voice.

Emperor Hongzhi looked confused.

"Ah...ah..." Queen Zhang said aily: "This is not a joke."

"This is not a joke, the old minister has tested it again and again."

Emperor Hongzhi felt dizzy.

He never expected that this was the result.

A girl, is this... possible?

Cheating?

He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Qian.

No, Xie Qing's family will definitely not cheat.

In my ears, Queen Zhang laughed.

Grizzly, and feel serene.

Queen Zhang covered her mouth with a veil: "Sure enough, I deserve to be raised by this palace."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel surprised.

Not bad, not bad, this is the child raised by me and the queen. She is so amazing at such a young age. Isn’t this the credit of me and the queen?

Of course, the family of Fang Jinglong, the King of Xinjin, also made some contributions.

But then... Emperor Hongzhi began to look sad again.

Unfortunately... it's a woman, it would be great if she was a man, and there was another right-hand man around me.

He was both happy and worried, and he was unstable.

Liu Jian coughed: "Old minister, I still want to congratulate Your Majesty and the Empress."

"Yes." Li Dongyang and Xie Qian both looked strange: "Congratulations to Your Majesty and the Empress."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Queen Zhang was already happy: "This is in front of me and Your Majesty. It's okay for you to congratulate me. Xiaofan is indeed extremely smart, but she is still young. You should remember it in front of her. Never congratulate her. She will walk in the cabinet in the future... If she is making a fuss, you should also take responsibility; but if she does things well, don't praise her, don't make her proud and complacent."

“…”

Liu Jian and the other two looked at me, and I looked at you, a little confused.

Did you really let Fang Xiaofan walk in the cabinet?

Emperor Hongzhi was also dumbfounded: "Empress, this..."

"Your Majesty, the most important thing for a person is to keep his promises. Whoever reaches the top of the list will enter the cabinet in an extraordinary way. This is not what I said, but the cabinet is the one who makes it to the world. If the cabinet goes back on its word, then who will still believe in the cabinet since then? This is the center of my Ming Dynasty, and you can't...break your word and get fat."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

After a long time, he looked at Liu Jian and others: "What do you think of your family?"

He wanted to kick the ball to Liu Jian and the other two.

Liu Jian is not stupid.

He coughed: "Of course it is up to the Holy Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "Don't you push it around, aren't you just trying to say that she is a woman, and it's so inconvenient that it will ruin your affairs? But I dare to say that you are so fat and obstruct the situation, and what is the difference between you and a woman who is always interested in making plans? If you are a man, you should be able to take it, let go, and keep your promises. This is like a man. If you are not even as good as a woman, then what qualifications are there to stop Fang Xiaofan?"

Queen Zhang was very excited, and Fang Xiaofan was very proud.

"Didn't Your Majesty say you want to attract talents from all over the world? These days, I have thought a lot of things. Fang Jifan also submitted memorials. I think what he said makes sense. At the beginning, there were constant refugees in the world. This was because my Ming Dynasty was overcrowded. Therefore, the manpower was despised. My Ming Dynasty, the most despised is also human beings. But now, it is different. Not to mention other places, just the capital and the Baoding Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Justice, the manpower is extremely tight. There are people in the workshops, so many houses, people in the road construction, and people in the railway construction, but the manpower is still insufficient. At this time, I still have to work hard.

The life is suppressing the woman. It is a virtue for a woman to say that no talent is a virtue. It is said that women should not leave the door and not step into the two doors. What is the benefit to the world? Your Majesty also saw that cotton spinning workshops have emerged now. What is the biggest damage? It is ordinary people. Although the people have obtained cheap fabrics, in the past, if there were women at home, they could still make some knitted women's red and subsidize some household expenses. But now, no one is willing to buy their women's red and knitted women's red. They can't weave women's red at home. I dare to ask Your Majesty, are they really doing nothing?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned when he heard this.

Queen Zhang said: "The world has changed, this is the general trend. The western mountain is changing, the new policy is changing, and the voyage to the West is changing. Even Your Majesty and Liu Qing's family have not changed? The general trend has been completed, how can you do it against it? Of course, I dare not try to interfere in political affairs. A few days ago, I have troubled a woman's association. In fact,... I am not trying to cause any trouble. Even if it changes, it should be a slow plan. My Women's Association is just trying to make some decisions for the women who come out to work, so as not to be bullied. This is my mother's responsibility to treat the world. Now... the little vassal is already a talent, and Your Majesty dare not use it because she is a woman? Or, in Your Majesty's heart, is it all about whether she is a female medical officer, and there are also the newly built cotton spinning workshop where so many female workers are driving them home."

Empress Zhang was dignified and generous and said seriously: "Who will drive them home, who will support them, who will weave them, and who will supply so much cloth? What are the benefits of rushing home to the world and the court? If Your Majesty wants to be a saint, the saint cannot stick to the old etiquette. What I ask for is Your Majesty and Liu Qing, who keep their promises and ask for it is only... Those women outside will not be bullied by the world, there is nothing else, and they dare not disobey the morality of women and cause any major chaos. But if Your Majesty and Liu Qing and others dare not take such a small step, where is the faith and righteousness? I will say this to you, please let Your Majesty say goodbye."

After saying that, a gift.

He turned around, went down the jade steps, and came out of Fengtian Hall surrounded by people from all the palaces.

Come out from Fengtian Hall.

Queen Zhang was dancing with her eyebrows.

happy.

I have long looked down on their usual attitude of women.

Today, it’s a blessing that it was Fang Xiaofan, which left them speechless.

This is what it means to exhale and raise your eyebrows!
