Above the court, Xiao Jingshun occupied the highest position. He wore a crown with a hairband, a court dress with a golden dragon pattern, a jade belt around his waist, and leather boots. Under the crown, he had a pair of piercing pupils that made people dare not look directly at them.
.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.
On the first day of court, the new emperor posed a big problem to the courtiers.
Xiao Jingshun hated the previous dynasty's way of governing the country. Officials protected each other, and the children of nine aristocratic families monopolized the court, leaving children from poor families with no chance to get ahead.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he took office was to break this deadlock.
"My dear friends, is there anyone who can give me some advice to relieve my depression?"
All the ministers bowed their heads and no one started to play.
Before Xiao Jingshun came to the throne, he guarded Dianzhou, where the soldiers were good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting, the people were tough, and they spoke straightforwardly. After he came into contact with the throne, the civil and military officials he came into contact with spoke in a convoluted way, and they could have dozens of ideas in one sentence.
Seeing those courtiers looking at me and me at you, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing trouble for them, I simply said nothing and pretended to be dumbfounded to the end.
Xiao Jingshun was on the dragon throne and saw all their little moves. He was angry and scolded: "If no one starts playing today, then I will kill you all."
As early as when Xiao Jingshun rebelled, they had heard about the cruelty of this man's methods. As long as they saw gold and silver in the cities they passed, they would loot them all, and any people who dared to resist would be killed on the spot, leaving no one behind.
When the courtiers heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jingshun cursed in his heart, a group of old people are nothing but rats.
"National Preceptor, do you have any good ideas?"
There was only one person in the court who did not kneel, and there was no fear in her eyes.
Several officials who were not afraid of death secretly glanced sideways at the new imperial advisor. There was only one female imperial advisor in all dynasties. I heard that she followed Xiao Jingshun in the north and south, and that the new emperor could successfully ascend the throne because he had
She makes plans behind the scenes.
What a wonderful woman.
I saw a heavenly official with a purple crown and red official uniform flash out from among the squad. Rong Qiqi held a scroll in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that when the new dynasty is established, it should embrace all rivers and all directions."
Convergence. Although the previous dynasty established imperial examinations, all the talented people admitted were men, while women were relegated to the boudoir."
"Your Majesty's foundation is not stable at this time. If you open a women's department, you will win the hearts of the people in the world."
Rong Qiqi said loudly: "We have the courage to request the emperor's favor to open a women's department and allow women to join the court as officials, so as to relieve your majesty's worries."
As soon as Rong Qiqi finished speaking, someone raised an objection, "Your Majesty, you can't. Throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for a woman to become an official in the court. How can a woman take on a big responsibility because she is a shallow person?"
"The ancients said: Women have three obediences, and there is no special way. Therefore, before you are married, you will obey your father, if you are married, you will obey your husband, and if your husband dies, you will obey your son. If a woman is an official, it goes against the ancient precepts. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Rong Qiqi snorted coldly, "Master Wu, I didn't expect you to be so pedantic. I heard that your daughter-in-law, who is now Concubine Shu, was the most talented woman in the royal city before she got married. Master Wu's face shined because of Concubine Shu.
Now that you are talking about women being shallow and ignorant, are you scolding yourself for not asking a teacher to preach to your empress?"
"Furthermore, since I am a woman, I have the honor to accompany His Majesty and help His Majesty accomplish his great cause. If Your Majesty had not been wise and discerning, and abandoned the fallacy that women are inferior to men, I would not be where I am today."
Rong Qiqi glanced at Wu Shuanglin and said unhurriedly: "Master Wu, are you dissatisfied with me, or do you have dissatisfaction with the emperor?"
Wu Shuanglin's face turned blue and white, and he knelt on the ground, banging his head, and said mournfully: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Please be aware of it."
Xiao Jingshun was annoyed by Wu Shuanglin and shouted: "Okay."
Then he looked at Rong Qiqi, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "What the National Preceptor said is reasonable. According to my opinion, opening a women's department is in line with the people's wishes. It's OK. This matter is handled by the Imperial Preceptor with full authority. I hope that the Imperial Preceptor will use the matter of the Women's Department to help
Our country recruits talents from all walks of life to stabilize its country."
"The humble minister accepts the order and will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."
"Sister, sister, today the Holy Father has opened a women's department and allowed women to enter the court as officials. The opportunity that I have been waiting for has come!"
The teacup in Yu Tao's hand fell with a sound. Unaware of the mess on the ground, she pinched her fourth brother's arm tightly, "Really? Fourth brother, where did this news come from?"
Yu Yuan cried out in pain, but the excitement in his heart made him ignore the pain and said: "There is a yellow list in the East Street Market. It clearly says that this year's college examination allows women to take the scientific examination."
Yu Tao swung her legs like hot wheels and ran towards the East Street Vegetable Market. Yu Yuan rubbed his blue and purple arms and couldn't help but feel happy for his sister.
When Yu Tao went there, the East Street vegetable market was already crowded with people. Daughters and ladies from all the families were crowded here, exclaiming and talking, "Mom, I can also take the scientific examination."
"
"Mother, look at it, I will fight for a good ranking for your daughter."
"Your Majesty, I am truly merciful. I didn't expect that I would be able to take the scientific examination at my age. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Tao's heart beat louder than a drum. Her hands and feet were so excited that she was sweating profusely.
Father, mother, and daughter are finally here!
I hope that with the blessings of my father and mother, my daughter will be able to be promoted to an official position one day and restore the Yu family.
The sun and the moon passed quickly, and six years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the smoky blue sky had just dawned, and the stone bricks on the road were still damp. The watchman was doing the last watch before dawn. Suddenly, he heard the door of a dilapidated hut on the corner of the street being banged three times.
It is said that Yu's daughter won the first prize.
A young man's eyes were filled with confusion, not believing the good news. "Oh, dear brother, please stop making trouble. My sister and I have been waiting all night and are about to go to sleep. If you have anything to do, wait until you wake up to talk about it."
The man who announced the good news blocked the door with one hand and said, "Young master, who has the leisure to deceive you? Please call your sister up. She has won the first prize! The first female champion in history, congratulations."
Yu Yuan's sleepy man immediately disappeared and he hurriedly pulled Yu Tao up, "Sister! The good news is that you won the first prize! Wake up quickly."
Yu Tao casually pulled a coat around her body without having time to tie the rope, so she rushed to the door and read the newspaper carefully, filled with joy.
After Yu Yuan prepared to announce the good news, he found Yu Tao sitting on a chair with his eyes blankly blank, shedding a few tears from time to time.
Yu Yuan also thought of his sister, who was so tired that her hair fell out in great numbers. Suddenly she was extremely happy and sad, with tears in her eyes, she persuaded Yu Tao and said: "Sister, my fourth brother is stupid, not as smart as my sister since childhood.
Extraordinary, you have been forced to study hard for the Yu family, and the blood feud is all on your shoulders. Fortunately, we survived. We are just waiting for you to enter the Golden Horse and ascend the Yutang, and the recovery of the Yu family is just around the corner."
Yu Tao collected the newspaper, swallowed her tears, and said: "In the past, that dog emperor invaded the royal city and killed a total of one hundred and thirty-two members of the Yu family. Only two of us, my sister and my brother, were left to depend on each other. I will not take this revenge if I don't avenge it."
The Yu family.”
Yu Tao held Yu Yuan's hand and said, "Wait until my sister becomes an official in the court and take care of things. If you continue to contact the Yu family's old subordinates outside, that thief Xiao Jingshun must pay for it with his life!" This chapter has been completed!
