The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Soon, news of the King of Huainan extending an olive branch to Miss Su of Qinghe County reached the court of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The ministers had differing opinions on this matter.

Duke Anguo naturally sided with Miss Su, and he was the first to stand up and speak for her.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su is an exceptional talent. She is not only skilled in leading troops into battle, but she also invented the curved plow, which has made a great contribution to agriculture. Please grant Miss Su an official position and keep her here. Do not let Miss Su side with the Prince of Huainan."

Prime Minister Feng found it most unacceptable that a woman be granted an official position. "Your Majesty," he said, "I believe that Miss Su's act of allowing the military advisor of the Prince of Huainan to remain on the territory of the Great Qi is certainly an act of rebellion..."

Vice Minister Luo was terrified by Prime Minister Feng's words.

His granddaughter is really bold; she actually dared to bring the King of Huainan's people back to Qinghe County from Sicheng, and even treated them to good food and drink.

That girl is still too young and doesn't understand how serious it is.

Fortunately, he hadn't sent anyone to forcibly acknowledge her as a relative, otherwise, if that girl had committed treason, the entire Luo family would have been implicated and their property confiscated.

Although the silver mine was very tempting, and wealth was a powerful motivator, he could only temporarily distance himself from that girl and decide whether to acknowledge her back later, depending on how things developed.

Minister Qin of the Ministry of War was also very afraid, as his own grandson was now hanging around with Miss Su in Qinghe County.

If Miss Su were to seek refuge with the King of Huainan, what would happen to his grandson?

What if his own grandson also pledges allegiance to the King of Huainan? Wouldn't that implicate the whole family?

Therefore, the Duke of Anguo's suggestion is excellent. He should urge Emperor Jing of Qi to quickly bestow an official title upon the young girl and win her heart.

Although it's hard to accept a woman holding an official position, it's still better than having the whole family convicted of treason!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Duke of Anguo's suggestion is excellent. Our Great Qi is currently in dire need of talented people, and Miss Su is quite capable. I humbly request Your Majesty to grant Miss Su an official position in order to retain her loyalty."

Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel, who was in league with Prime Minister Feng, stood up to object, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that if that Miss Su has no intention of submitting to the Prince of Huainan, then the Prince of Huainan's strategist should be killed or expelled, rather than being brought back to Qinghe County. Miss Su clearly has ill intentions."

Emperor Jing of Qi knew that granting official titles to women would not be easy and would certainly encounter great obstacles.

He tentatively asked, "My esteemed ministers, what official title do you suggest for Miss Su?"

Prime Minister Feng reacted strongly, "Your Majesty, the ancestral rites and laws cannot be abolished, and women must not be granted official positions."

"If Your Majesty insists on granting that young girl an official title, I will do everything in my power to stop it, even if it means my own blood being spilled on the spot."

After saying this, Prime Minister Feng rushed towards the stone pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes in Xuanwu Hall, intending to die to prove his loyalty and sacrifice himself for righteousness.

Officials in the surrounding area quickly tried to stop them.

As a result, Prime Minister Feng still bumped into the pillar, and bright red liquid flowed out. However, because someone stopped him, the impact was less severe.

Imperial Censor Kong, an old stubborn man, knelt on the ground and said, "If Your Majesty wishes to grant an official position to a woman, please grant me death."

Emperor Qi Jing was in a very bad mood. Look, a disagreement has led to this mess.

With both of them threatening suicide, granting Miss Su an official position is completely impossible.

Emperor Jing of Qi felt like a puppet on strings; no matter what he thought, he would eventually be swayed by his ministers.

"Eunuch Fu, hurry and fetch the imperial physician."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the imperial physician arrived, he carefully examined Prime Minister Feng.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng is not seriously injured. He can return to his residence and recuperate for half a month."

Emperor Qi Jing breathed a long sigh of relief. It would have been extremely unlucky if someone had died in the Xuanwu Hall.

This is so annoying. I never expected that just a tentative mention would trigger such a strong reaction from the ministers.

Prime Minister Feng was carried out of Xuanwu Hall, but even more ministers inside knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I believe that women should absolutely not be appointed to official positions, otherwise it will break the traditional male superiority and female inferiority, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty insists on granting official titles to women, I am willing to follow the example of Prime Minister Feng and die to prove my loyalty."

Emperor Jing of Qi looked closely and found that most of the civil and military officials had knelt down, with only four or five people standing.

It seems that the matter of bestowing an official title upon Miss Su should not be mentioned again.

Then we have to think of other ways; we absolutely cannot let that Miss Su side with the Prince of Huainan.

Most of his generals have been sent to the northern border. In Huainan, only Miss Su is of any use. If Miss Su sides with the King of Huainan, the King of Huainan will probably be able to march on the capital very soon.

Moreover, that Miss Su currently commands over 50,000 troops, so she should not be underestimated!

What to do? Emperor Qi Jing suddenly had a brilliant idea: if he couldn't grant an official title, then he could arrange a marriage.

If we arrange a marriage for Miss Su with a man from a prominent family who is also very handsome and outstanding, then we can demonstrate how much the Great Qi Dynasty values ​​Miss Su.

"My esteemed ministers, I believe it is appropriate to arrange a marriage for Miss Su. Do any of you have suitable candidates to recommend?"

When the ministers saw that Emperor Qi Jing was no longer insisting on granting Miss Su an official position, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Arranged marriage is still acceptable.

Duke Anguo had already sided with Miss Su, so naturally he would help her choose an excellent man; he couldn't let His Majesty point out any unsuitable men to her.

After much thought, I realized that among the unmarried men in the capital, Prince Gong was the most outstanding.

He comes from a good family and is good-looking. When he stands next to Miss Su, they will look like a perfect couple.

He suggested, "A woman as outstanding as Miss Su is probably only worthy of Prince Gong."

Minister Qin of the Ministry of War quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Prince Gong is the most suitable candidate."

The Crown Prince was very popular with women; every unmarried woman in the capital wanted to marry him.

If we betroth the heir to Miss Su, I believe Miss Su will no longer covet the official position offered by the Prince of Huainan.

His Qin family will not be implicated in the charge of treason by Qin Changfeng!

Emperor Qi Jing thought this made a lot of sense; he figured only his cousin's family background and looks could keep that Miss Su by his side.

It just so happens that the Empress Dowager and my uncle are often worried about my cousin's marriage. He has arranged for my cousin to marry such an outstanding Miss Su. In the end, both the man and the woman will be happy.

However, many ministers felt that the Crown Prince's status was too high.

Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel speculated, "Your Majesty, that Miss Su came to the capital last time, but dared not see anyone. Could it be that she is extremely ugly?"

All the other officials felt that Lord Zhang's words made a lot of sense.

"That Miss Su is probably not very attractive, otherwise she would have had the opportunity to meet His Majesty but did not come. She must be feeling guilty and afraid to see people."

The ministers all believed that it was an extremely auspicious occasion for ordinary people to have the opportunity to meet His Majesty, a blessing from heaven, and that even if it rained knives, they would certainly not miss it.

But the girl didn't dare to come; she must be too ugly to be seen.

"Miss Su is such a formidable warrior, she must be a big, strong woman, right? It would be such a tragedy to marry a woman like that."

"Isn't it a bit much to marry off the gentle and refined Prince Gong to a woman like that?"

Listening to the ministers' conversation, Emperor Qi Jing also concluded that the young lady Su was probably not very presentable.

If she were beautiful, she would have flaunted her beauty long ago, instead of being too afraid to even show her face.

Emperor Qi Jing felt extremely guilty towards his cousin Gong Yu.

My dear cousin, I'm so sorry. While you were busy fighting on the frontier, I secretly sold you out.

Don't blame me. I made this choice for the sake of the Great Qi Dynasty. Sacrificing you will bring happiness to countless families.

"I will draft the imperial edict of marriage today and send it to Qinghe County."

The Duke of Anguo shouted loudly, "His Majesty is wise!"

The other ministers could only echo the emperor's wisdom, powerless to stop the marriage.

Prince Gong was a highly sought-after man; every girl wanted to marry him. But unexpectedly, that ugly freak from Qinghe County got the better deal.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Qi Jing immediately went to the imperial study to write an imperial edict.

Fearing that the young lady Su might not be interested in his cousin, he specially had a handsome portrait of his cousin prepared and sent it to Qinghe County.

So that Miss Su could see just how handsome and unparalleled her cousin was, as good-looking as Pan An.

Which unmarried woman in the capital wouldn't want to marry her cousin?

With such a handsome and unparalleled husband, surely Miss Su wouldn't side with the Prince of Huainan again?

The only one who was wronged in this matter was his stunningly beautiful cousin. Marrying his cousin to Miss Su felt like giving a beauty to the bandit leader in the mountains.
