Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

Immediately, wry smile.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Hongzhi said: "This mathematics has a lot to do with it. I am trying to recruit mathematics talents from all over the world, so there is no reason why I should not pay attention to it."

Empress Zhang smiled: "Your Majesty's plan is for the affairs of the world, but the concubine is different. What the concubine plans is just how well Xiaofan did in the exam. She grew up beside the concubine since she was a child. Good or bad, to the concubines, that is the most important thing."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered, only nodded and said insincerely: "Yes, I hope she does well in the exam."

Empress Zhang said angrily: "Your Majesty only said that the exam was good, it seems that he has no confidence in Xiaofan."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "After all, she is still young, she is a girl... No, I don't mean to belittle her, but, of course, we must encourage children, but we don't have to have too many expectations."

The couple were discussing, but outside, an eunuch came: "Your Majesty, cabinet scholar Liu Jian and others, please see me."

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and looked at Empress Zhang with a smile. He thought to himself, Empress Zhang has been bewitched by someone lately. She always wants to prove that women are powerful. Today... I have to let her accept the reality.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Call in."

Empress Zhang became nervous and couldn't help grabbing the handkerchief.

The three of Liu Jian came in in a hurry, and the faces of the three of them were very ugly.

The three people bowed down, and Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty, I presided over the math competition exam, and now... the results of this math competition have come out."

Emperor Hongzhi showed joy: "So, many talents must have been selected?"

Xie Qian said sternly: "Exactly, not only have we selected many talents, but we have also selected a great talent that has never been seen before." He smiled wryly in his heart when he said this.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang on the side also looked speechless.

How should I explain this to His Majesty?

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up. He stood up with his hands behind his back and was very excited: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went to inspect the Yushifu privately, and he was very proud when he saw many new scholars coming out. Said: "Heroes in the world, I am enough! "; Today, when the country is employing people, I have a math competition, and I feel the same as Tang Taizong. Hahahaha... I really want to know, why Xie Qing's family compares this talent to an unprecedented one. Since Xie Qing’s family dares to speak so eloquently, I want to listen attentively. Don’t worry, you, I am thirsty for talents, and if it turns out to be a great talent, I will certainly be eclectic and have high hopes.”

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

He was thinking, if His Majesty knew that it was a woman, and she was... a girl from the Fang family, would he be happy or worried?

Empress Zhang was impatient with waiting, why was she talking so much, so she told Ben Gong that Xiaofan did well in the exam. Where did so much wordiness come from, Xiaofan is so smart, at least he can be ranked in the middle, right?

Xie Qian just mustered up his courage and said: "This time, there are more than 2,000 candidates participating in the competition, with an average score of 51 points, of which more than 370 candidates have 60 points or more; 80 points or more ,Eight people……"

More than eighty points...only eight people.

Then these eight people must be the best of the best.

Xie Qian said again: "It's just that the first person on the list is even more different. She scored... 100 points in the test."

The average score is only fifty-one points.

It is not easy to score eighty points, it can be said to be very rare.

okay.

Someone actually... got 100 points in the test.

"Who is this person?"

"The surname is Fang..." Xie Qian smiled bitterly: "Fang Xiaofan."

"..."

A suffocating silence.

Emperor Hongzhi looked miserable.

Scared.

Even Queen Zhang couldn't believe it, she opened her eyes wide.

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

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

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

"Ah... ah..." Empress Zhang said impatiently, "This is not a joke."

"This is not a child's play, old minister, I have tried it three times."

Emperor Hongzhi felt dizzy.

He never expected this to be 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 the ear, Queen Zhang let out a laugh.

Giggling, feeling heavy again.

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

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

That's right, that's right, this is the child that I and the empress raised, she is so good at such a young age, isn't this the credit of me and the empress?

Of course, Xinjin King Fang Jinglong and Fang Qing's family also had a little credit.

But immediately... Emperor Hongzhi began to frown again.

It's a pity...it's a woman, it would be great if it was a man, and I have another right-hand man by my side.

His face was both happy and worried, fluttering and uncertain.

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

"yes

ah. "Li Dongyang and Xie Qianju both looked strange: "Congratulations, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. "

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Empress Zhang was already beaming with joy: "This is in front of my palace and His Majesty, so it's fine for you to congratulate, this child Xiaofan is indeed extremely smart, but she is still young, you are in front of her. Remember, you must not congratulate her. From now on, she will walk in the cabinet... If she messes around, you have to take care of it; but if she does things well, don't praise her, don't make her proud .”

"..."

The three of Liu Jian looked at me and I looked at you, a little confused.

Really let Fang Xiaofan walk in the cabinet?

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

"Your Majesty, people...the most important thing is to keep their promises. Whoever enters the top list will break into the cabinet. This is not what I said, but the cabinet made it public to the world. If the cabinet backtracks, then, from now on, who Do you still believe in the cabinet? This is the center of my Ming Dynasty, so I can't... break my word and get fat."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

He looked at Liu Jian and the others for a long time, "What do you think about it?"

He wanted to kick the ball to Liu Jian and the others.

Liu Jian is not stupid.

He coughed: "Of course it is by His Majesty's holy order."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "Don't push and push, don't you just want to say that she is a woman, so it's inconvenient, and it will spoil your affairs, but my concubine dares to say that you are so fat and fat, push three obstacles, four obstacles, What is the difference with the woman who is always scheming? If a man is a man, he should be able to afford it, let it go, and keep his promise. This is how he looks like a man. If he is not as good as a woman, then what qualifications do he have? , to stop Fang Xiaofan?"

Empress Zhang was very excited, and Fang Xiaofan was up to date.

"Didn't Your Majesty say that he wants to recruit talents from all over the world? These days, my concubine has thought about a lot of things. Fang Jifan even gave a memorial, and my concubine thinks what he said is very reasonable. At the beginning, there were many refugees all over the world. The reason for overcrowding, therefore, manpower is cheap, and the most important thing I lack in Ming Dynasty is people. But now, it is different. Not to mention other places, but the area around the capital and Baoding chief envoy, manpower is extremely tight. In the workshop People are important, so many houses, road construction and railways also need people, but manpower is still insufficient. At this time, they are still desperately suppressing women, saying that women who have no talent are virtues, and women who say that they should be open What good will this do to the world? Your Majesty has also seen that cotton spinning workshops have sprung up. Where is the greatest damage? Ordinary people, although they have obtained cheap fabrics, In the past, if there were women in the family, they could still let women make some female red knitting to subsidize some household expenses, but now, no one is willing to buy their female reds and knitting. They can’t weave female reds at home, dare to ask Your Majesty, do you really let them do nothing?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Empress Zhang said: "There are changes in the world. This is the general trend. There are changes in Xishan, the new policy is a change, and the voyages to the West are also changes. Even your majesty and Liu Qing's family have not changed? The general trend has been achieved. How can it be reversed?" Okay, of course the concubines dare not try to interfere in political affairs. A few days ago, the concubine created a women's federation. In fact... it was not to cause any trouble. Even if there is a change, it should be done slowly. The women's association of concubines just wants to be a master for the women who come out to work, so that they will not be bullied. This is the duty of the concubine's mother. Now... Xiaofan is a talent, Your Majesty Because she is a woman, she dare not use it? Or, in His Majesty's mind, if she is a female medical officer, she will all resign, and there are so many female workers in the newly built cotton spinning workshop, will they also be driven back? go home."

Empress Zhang was dignified and generous, and said seriously: "Drive them home, who will feed them, who will weave them, and who will supply so much cloth? What good will it do for the world and the court if you drive them home? Your Majesty wants To be a sage, the sage should not stick to the old rituals. What the courtiers and concubines ask for is only for His Majesty and Liu Qing to keep their promises. There is nothing else, let alone violating women's morality and causing any big troubles. But if Your Majesty and Liu Qings dare not even take such a small step, where is the trust? Hereby, Your Majesty, please let me take my leave."

After all, a salute.

He turned around, descended the jade steps, and exited Fengtian Hall surrounded by the palace people.

Come out of Fengtian Temple.

Empress Zhang beamed with joy.

happy.

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

Today, thanks to Fang Xiaofan, they were speechless.

In this way, it is called exhaling and raising eyebrows!
