The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 648: Women as officials

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!

May 13, the tenth year of the Xuan calendar.

The grading of the Imperial College has been completed.

Fu Xiaoguan spent three days reading each of the more than 3,000 first-class test papers selected by the Imperial College.

He once again eliminated more than 1,800 copies and took 1,200 of them.

Among the 1,200 policy papers, Sima Che’s article was indeed ranked fourth!

When the name was revealed, Fu Xiaoguan discovered that the number one was actually Yun Xiyan!

This guy is an incredible talent, especially his unique business sense. Fu Xiaoguan decided to keep this guy by his side and established the Wo Feng Dao Secretariat. This guy served as the first secretary-general, leading Shi Yiming. They formed their own staff.

But Sima Che is a problem.

This is a woman. It’s not that Fu Xiaoguan has a prejudice against women being officials, but that secular vision does not allow it.

It is possible for a woman to disguise herself as a man for a while, but it is not a long-term solution, so... we need to discuss this matter with His Majesty.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lords. I will present the list to Your Majesty tomorrow. I will release the list after His Majesty's decree."

Fu Xiaoguan bowed to the room full of civil servants, and all the officials who were majoring in civil service returned the favor:

"Ding'an Bo has a strong word and chooses people for the court. This is our duty."

After some pleasantries, Fu Xiaoguan left the Imperial College. It was getting late and the bright moon hung in the east.

……

……

Die Yi Palace.

The menorah lanterns have already been lit.

Fu Xiaoguan arrived suddenly. He did not expect that the third princess and her mother-in-law, Concubine Ning, were also here.

Emperor Xuan looked at Fu Xiaoguan and said, "Empress Shang is cooking in person today. Do you have such a sharp nose?"

Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, met Emperor Xuan Ning, and sat opposite Emperor Xuan: "I have been so greedy lately, and I was just thinking that I had not come to pay my respects to the empress for a long time. I didn't expect to catch up with him. This is What a blessing! ”

Emperor Xuan glared at him and asked: "Is Enke's appointment completed?"

"Well, I will release the results after you review them tomorrow morning."

"Well..." Emperor Xuan nodded and changed the topic: "Something happened in the palace yesterday. Su Shanyue, the minister of Dali Temple, sent people to arrest more than ten officials of the admonishment court." After saying this After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked at Fu Xiaoguan, who looked surprised.

"Led by Huang Zhong, some rumors about you were spread in the court."

Fu Xiaoguan spread his hands and said, "I have been detained in the Imperial College for the past three days. I really don't know about this... What did Huang Zhong falsely accuse me of?"

Emperor Xuan smiled slightly: "He said that when powerful ministers are in power, the country will not be ruled by generals."

Fu Xiaoguan frowned, "Then Su Shanyue did the right thing, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Of course I am confident about you, but since the establishment of the Remonstrance Yuan, their main role has been to hear rumors and report things. So I think this is a harmless trivial matter. Tomorrow you will go to Dali Temple and ask Su Shanyue Let them go, they will remember your favor and will not cause any trouble for you in the future."

Your Majesty wants to settle the matter and sell himself a favor.

Fu Xiaoguan doesn’t want to let Huang Zhong off so easily. I didn’t provoke you, but you decided to provoke me!

Do you really think that I would care about Amber's reputation and wait for you?

That's impossible!

Fu Xiaoguan smiled sinisterly, which made Concubine Ning and the third princess panic - this Uncle Ding'an didn't seem to be as pure and kind as the rumors said!

Empress Shang walked in at this moment, followed by several palace maids carrying bowls and plates. She was a little surprised when she saw Fu Xiaoguan, and said with a smile: "If I had known you were coming, I would have made another braised lion head dish. ”

Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly stood up to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, please don't offend your son-in-law. I'm already very embarrassed to come uninvited. How can I dare to trouble Your Majesty to add another dish!"

"You kid..." Empress Shang waved to everyone, "Come, please take a seat, everyone in your family should be more casual."

Fu Xiaoguan was naturally not polite. He poured a glass of wine for everyone and greeted everyone in a circle, starting with Emperor Xuan.

"The imperial doctor said that Wenjun will be born in mid-June, and my son-in-law plans to send Wenjun back to the princess's residence in early June... Then we will have to trouble the Queen and Concubine Ning. I can't handle the birth of the child. It’s really not much help.”

"Looking at what you said, I have watched Wenyun grow up, so how can I alienate her? Just rest assured."

Fu Xiaoguan grinned and raised his glass to Concubine Ning again, "Speaking of the matter of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess and Huo Huaijin... shouldn't it be put on the agenda?"

Yu Qinglan immediately blushed and lowered her head, her heart pounding.

"Your Majesty means to wait for Huai Jin's mother to come to Beijing, and then go to the Qintian Supervisor to choose a date after proposing the marriage."

Fu Xiaoguan thought for a while, it would take some time, and he would probably be in Wofeng Road by then.

"I and Huo Huaijin are like brothers. Please write a letter to me in advance when the time comes."

"Of course, Wenyun is about to give birth. I have prepared some things for the baby. I will have Qinglan deliver them to your Ding'anbo residence in a few days."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine!"

The people at the table were having a good time drinking wine and eating dishes. Emperor Xuan was very happy, and Queen Shang was also very happy.

Fu Xiaoguan proposed his purpose of coming here at this time:

"Your Majesty, during this scientific examination, I found a very good article while reviewing the papers. After evaluating it with many officials from the Imperial College, I ranked this article fourth."

"To be able to stand out among more than 30,000 candidates and still rank fourth, you must have real talent."

Fu Xiaoguan smiled bitterly and said: "But now there is a problem..." He paused and said: "After investigation, the candidate who wrote this article is a woman..."

Emperor Xuan was startled, and Queen Shang was stunned for only five breaths before she understood Fu Xiaoguan's intention of coming here today.

Emperor Xuan frowned, "Women? Women cannot be officials!"

Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "There is a problem here, because when His Majesty issued Enke's decree, he did not say that it was limited to men. You didn't make a joke, so I thought she had no fault and had to admit her. Otherwise, if If it is publicized, won't it make people in the world think that Your Majesty is biased?"

"But this is the established rule!"

"Don't worry, that's what I think. Since Your Majesty didn't say it in your decree, and since this woman is indeed talented... Your Majesty, there are only fifty-five men and women in the world, and the population of the Yu Dynasty is not large. This Half of the women are locked up at home, wasted! ”

"How about taking advantage of this opportunity and asking Empress Shang to speak for the women and let them step out of the palace and rule the world with the men of the world?"

"Or, Wo Fong Road is a special zone. If your Majesty is worried about anything wrong, you can try it on Wo Fong Road."

Empress Shang looked at Emperor Xuan's face, which was about to turn black, and suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, I thought I could give it a try!"
