Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

Shen Meimei saw that the emperor was so excited, she didn't want to disturb him as she was in the harem and was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. However, the emperor always liked to tell her about some problems he encountered.

After she finished washing up and ate a few bites of lunch, she took the emperor to the imperial garden to enjoy the snow scenery.

"Your Majesty, in fact, during this period of time, I have heard you talk about many things in the previous dynasty, and I am always frightened. After all, according to the ancestral rules, the harem cannot interfere in politics." Shen Meimei said softly. She said this deliberately to see the emperor's attitude.

"Haha... This is in the harem. I want to tell you, if I don't say you are interfering in government affairs, who else can say it? If only the two of us say it, it doesn't count as interfering in government affairs. When Zhang Xi and Zeng Jing come to the capital, I will ask them why they are not satisfied and still speak wildly."

The emperor laughed heartily and spoke loudly.

When Shen Meimei saw that the emperor was happy, she had an idea in her mind.

"Your Majesty, in this case, I have a bold suggestion! Since Zhang Xi and Zeng Jing are literati, what literati are best at is writing articles to plot rebellion. Why not take advantage of the New Year to set up a debate arena in the busiest place outside the imperial city.

The affirmative side is composed of ministers designated by the emperor, who may represent the court, such as Zhang Tingyu, Ortai, Li Wei, etc. The representatives of the literati side are Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi. If other people are willing to participate, they can sign up on the spot.

I refuted the remarks made by Zeng Jing and others one by one. I think that holding a public debate can help to combat anti-Qing remarks and also make the emperor a wise ruler like Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. "

After Shen Meimei finished speaking, the emperor's heart sank, and he immediately said with some worry:

"Open debate? I have never thought of making these secret matters public. Maybe we can give it a try!"

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Shen Meimei immediately pulled the emperor back to Tangli Palace, took out a set of speakers that she used to listen to music. She took out the microphone and shouted a few times, and sure enough, the voice could be heard from far away.

"What is this?" the emperor asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the Seven-tone Treasure Box that I gave to Moge? This is a bigger Seven-tone Treasure Box. On the day of the debate, put the smaller box on the stage. When the person speaking holds the microphone, the voice can be heard throughout the street, so that everyone can hear it.

Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler and the most diligent emperor in the Qing Dynasty. You will definitely be able to refute those literati."

The emperor took the microphone and tried to speak a few words. As expected, his voice was loud and clear. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I will hide upstairs and watch the debate!"

Shen Meimei added, "The debate competition still needs a host. It would be best if this host is someone with a flexible mind and quick thinking. Does the emperor have any candidates?"

The emperor thought for a moment, "I can't think of a suitable person for the moment. However, since this is an open debate, in order to show that the Manchus and the Han are one family, how about letting a Han minister be the host of this debate?"

Shen Meimei nodded, "Your Majesty is wise, I admire you!"

Soon the emperor thought of a person, Tian Wenjing, who was already in his sixties and a man of integrity, and was just the right person to serve as the host.

When the emperor said this person's name, Shen Meimei smiled slightly: "Excellent!"

Now that the debate has been scheduled, the emperor must make adequate preparations.

He asked people to find all the works of Zhang Xi, Zeng Jing and others, read them carefully, and then find out the arguments in them and refute them one by one.
