Chapter 355 The female official of the Wei family, watch the punishment at the Meridian Gate!

Wei Yao was stunned when she heard this, but she never expected that she would be known to the state.

But she still had doubts in her heart and said, "It is a privilege for the people to be able to work in the Secretariat. However, the people are the only daughters at home. If they enter the palace, I am afraid that the father will not be taken care of and the shops at home will not be taken care of."

Wei Yao is indeed recommended by Liu Zhu.

But since Zhu Mai agreed to her join the Secretariat, she naturally sent someone to find out the situation in Wei Yao's family and even the affairs of the three ancestors.

Liu Shuying also knew it.

She smiled and said, "If you are allowed to join the Secretariat as a clerk, you are not a palace maid. You can leave the palace and go home every day when you step down.

As for your father, although he is not healthy, he doesn't have to take care of him at home, right? Besides, there are servants and maids in your home.

Your "Yingchunfang" is just a small shop. Whether you are asked to take care of the servants and maids at home or hire a shopkeeper who knows what you are doing, you can replace you.

However, the opportunity to enter the Secretariat is for you this time. If you miss it, don’t regret it in the future.”

The Secretariat was established, and currently only Liu Shuying is a seventh-rank secretary, and there is no one under him.

She can seconded some errands to the Imperial Guards, but she needs to do some simple and complicated copywriting tasks slowly, which leads to inefficiency in work.

Therefore, in order to enrich the secretariat's staff as soon as possible, Liu Shuying also had a lot of effort in recruiting Wei Yao, a small business girl.

Wei Yao was indeed moved by Liu Shuying's words.

But taking a woman as an official was a shocking act. She was worried about the store and said, "Can Secretary Liu ask the girl to consider it and reply tomorrow?"

Liu Shuying nodded, "Yes."

Before leaving, Wei Yao asked in a strange way: "Secretary Liu, I heard that officials with accounting certificates have the opportunity to be promoted to officials, but is it true?"

Liu Shuying smiled and said, "I have already had the example of simply eliminating officials from the Ming Dynasty, but they are generally exceptional cases and the threshold is very high.

However, if you join the Secretariat as a clerk, you are not a rank official and there is no threshold for the transfer of an official to an official."

After hearing Liu Shuying's words, Wei Yao was even more surprised and then bowed and said, "Thank you, Secretary Liu for your advice."

With such a big event, after returning home, Wei Yao naturally immediately talked to his old father Wei Songqing.

She thought Wei Songqing would strongly oppose it, but after listening, Wei Songqing said, "Then Secretary Liu really said that you, a clerk in the secretariat, are equivalent to an official?"

"That's true."

"She won't lie to you, right?"

"Secretary Liu is the female official around the country, how could he deceive the girl from a civilian country?"

"Bang!" Wei Songqing slapped his thigh excitedly, "My good daughter, why are you hesitating about this? I agreed on the spot!

That's an official body. Our old Wei family has been counting eight generations, but no one has ever been an official.

If you become an official, our old Wei family will change their lintel!"

Wei Yao was stunned for a while because of her old father's reaction, and then smiled bitterly: "Dad, if her daughter enters the palace to be a female official, it may be even more difficult to get married. Aren't you worried about having no queen?"

"Hiss, this is indeed a matter." Wei Songqing frowned while pinching his beard, and then said: "But if you have obtained an official position and lower your vision, I believe it will not be difficult to recruit a son-in-law, right?

In short, such a good thing was something we could never dream of in our dreams before, so you must agree. As for marriage, you can talk about it later."

Obviously, Wei Songqing really wants his daughter to be an official.

Because he has been doing business for decades, he is very aware of the difference between having officials in his family and not having officials.

What's more, my daughter was attracted to by the princess of the regent this time. Maybe she would really enter the officialdom by accidentally saying that she would fly to the branch and turn into a phoenix.

Wei Yao was also fascinated when she thought of the charm of the three female officials, Liu Shuying, Liu Zhu and Lian Qiao.

So he said, "Then my daughter is really going to be the secretariat clerk, but what should I do with Yingchunfang?"

Wei Songqing hesitated for a moment and said, "If you become an official, our family will not be able to do business again."

Didn’t the second, third and fourth rooms keep clamoring to let our big room hand over the management rights of Yingchunfang? Let’s hand it over to them!

However, after all, we should discuss with them how much dividends the Yingchunfang house will receive. After all, A Yao has become an official now, and it is different from the past."

Although Wei Songqing was in poor health, he was very enthusiastic and had a certain idea. He immediately asked the servant to call the heads of the other three rooms to discuss the matter today.

People from the other three houses of the Wei family were shocked to learn that Wei Yao was going to be an official and felt unbelievable.

But thinking about it, now he is the princess and has a female general under his command, so he thinks it is not a strange thing for the princess to use female officials.

When Wu Zetian became the female emperor, she also used a group of female officials, including Shangguan Wan'er and other figures who remained famous throughout the ages.

Thinking that Wei Yaoruo became an official, it would have certain benefits for each house in the Wei family, so when he talked with Wei Songqing about re-arguing the dividends of the four houses in Yingchunfang, he became very easy to talk.

Just as the Wei family was discussing the "big event", the sound of gongs and the sound of the imperial guards shouting with loudspeakers on various streets in Nanjing.

Wei Songqing immediately stopped the family meeting and asked the servants to go outside to find out what the guards were shouting.

After a while, the servant came back to report.

"It is said that at noon tomorrow, the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will be publicly executed outside the Meridian Gate, and the people will be allowed to watch it.

However, in order to avoid too many people observing the punishment, crowding and stampede, people were drawn from all corners and alleys, and a total of 10,000 people were drawn in the city."

Wei Songqing and the other three houses were in charge of the institution and were silent for a moment when they heard this, and then they all looked at Wei Yao.

"Dad and three uncles, what do you think I'm doing?" Wei Yao was puzzled.

Wei Songqing immediately worried and said earnestly: "A Yao, it is a good thing for you to enter the palace and become an official. But remember, don't embezzle, our old Wei family is not short of that little money. Do you understand?"

The elders of the other three rooms nodded and instructed them.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't embezzle."

"I heard that these corrupt officials all want to search the house. Our old Wei family has been doing business for several generations, and at least they have accumulated some money. We cannot compensate the old Wei family for a little money in order to get some money."

"The house search is small, if the house search is encircled and the clan is destroyed, it will be over."

Hearing these words, Wei Yao was amused and said, "Dad and uncles, don't worry, A Yao will definitely be self-reliant and serve the public and will never touch the darkness of the old Wei family."

"Hey, this is what you say, that's what you should do."

···

The next day.

Zhu Mai met Huang Daozhou again in Wuying Palace.

However, it took Huang Daozhou a few days to preliminarily formulate the procedures for her to board the base, the ceremony and other matters, and wrote the memorial and presented it.

After reading it, Zhu Mai found that it was indeed done according to the normal process of ascending the throne by Emperor Ming Dynasty, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Then she gave some suggestions, such as using the speakers when chanting prayers.

Hao Guangming also took the opportunity to give some suggestions, such as adding a military reading ceremony.

Anyway, there are now the Imperial Guards, Imperial Guards, Border Guards, Garrisons, and Gongtun Army in Nanjing.

Even the Jinyiwei, the Flying Eagle Team, and the radio team are there.

The radio team can be used as a secret first and not leaked.

But the matter of the Flying Eagles has probably been discovered by the Qing Dynasty, so there is no need to deliberately conceal its existence. The Flying Eagles can send several drone teams to hold a colorful smoke flight show on the day Zhu Niu ascended the throne.

Such a generous display of force may scare the Qing throne and retreat directly outside the pass.

Although Huang Daozhou was very surprised by Zhu Ma and Hao Guangming's suggestions, he agreed to join the throne ceremony.

Because in Huang Daozhou's view, this is indeed a good way to declare the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty and shock those who have strangers and foreign enemies in the local area.

It can also increase the people's confidence in the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that multiple goals can be achieved in one go.

Huang Daozhou left Wuying Hall and was about to go home for lunch, but saw many officials walking towards the Meridian Gate, and some people were still talking about something in a low voice.

Without listening, he also knew that he was discussing today's execution of corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

As a Confucian scholar who truly cultivates himself based on Confucian principles, Huang Daozhou also hated corrupt officials very much.

Therefore, although he felt that Zhu Ma was dealing with too many people and the punishment was a bit heavy, he did not advise anything.

Knowing that there were tens of thousands of people outside to observe the punishment, the road was blocked, Huang Daozhou came to the South Ring Corridor on the second floor of the main hall of the Meridian Gate, and watched the punishment with some officials of the six ministries...
