Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

He held Shen Zheng high up, admitting his mistakes implicitly and implicitly, hoping that the emperor would stop insisting on "beheading" her.

The emperor's mood improved visibly after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "The court still needs you, Prime Minister Cui. Shen Qing will definitely return to the capital in the future, so it won't be too late for you to see him then."

He added: "Mrs. Shen is not very familiar with the officialdom yet, so Prime Minister Cui needs her to be patient and guide her."

All the civil and military officials were shocked when they heard this.

The emperor's words showed that he had high expectations for Shen Zheng.

This is Prime Minister Cui. Shen Zheng is a female official who has just entered the court. Now she is just a small county magistrate. The emperor has already arranged a master for her in the court and explicitly told Prime Minister Cui to take her under his wing.

Prime Minister Cui was such a great man, how many people in the court wanted to become his disciples but were rejected? No matter how much courtesy one gave, it was no match for a single word from the emperor.

Prime Minister Cui did not show any emotion, but said sincerely: "For a man like County Magistrate Shen, this old minister and Earl Yongning will do our best."

The meaning of the words was clear: Shen Zheng was now an official under the eldest son of Earl Yongning, and Earl Yongning was willing to vouch for her, so the relationship between the two sides must be close.

When she goes to the capital in the future, Earl Yongning might give her more support, and perhaps she won't need him as prime minister at all.

But in fact, in his heart, he was unwilling to do so. No matter how powerful she was, she was just a woman who got lucky.

The emperor was in a good mood, so he let the "outspoken" Que Tailin go.

"My dear, please get up. Today is a beautiful day. How can I chop off your head?"

Que Tailin wiped his sweat, stood up tremblingly, and without daring to say a word, joined the line.

With Que Tailin leading the charge and returning in defeat, all the civil and military officials did not dare to show any sign of abnormality, and instead joined Ji Benchang and Yue Zhenchuan in admitting their mistakes.

Originally they were still a little embarrassed, but since Prime Minister Cui, the head of all officials, had taken the lead, how could they not follow his lead?

In fact, they were all relieved in their hearts. If they had to lose face, it would be lost together. After leaving the Golden Palace today, who could tell anyone about it?

All the civil and military officials said in unison: "Your Majesty has a keen eye and has found another capable minister for our Great Zhou. I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty."

Someone asked, "The local county magistrate has really buried a figure like Lady Shen. Why doesn't Your Majesty transfer her back to the capital as soon as possible so that she can shine?"

The emperor naturally wanted to transfer Shen Zheng back to Shangjing. He had instructed Yu Shizhang before he set off today to ask Shen Zheng what she thought after arriving at the place. If she was willing to put down her current work, she would be able to return to Shangjing to take up her post soon.

But today, no one could question his decision. He replied, "Shen Qing will shine wherever he goes."

The official now understood that today they could only congratulate the emperor and praise Magistrate Shen, and they could not say anything else.

If you say it, the emperor will catch you and stab you.

He smiled and said dryly, "Your Majesty is right. I was just talking too much."

The Golden Palace fell into an eerie silence, and no one dared to step forward and cause trouble.

But the emperor was obviously not satisfied yet, he asked: "My dear ministers, I want to ask on behalf of all the women in the world, whether they can participate in the spring examination two years later? If not, I'd better give an order as soon as possible, telling them to do what they should do, and not to focus their energy on the imperial examination."

Civil and military officials: "...Your Majesty, now that County Magistrate Shen has set an example for women all over the world, it also lets the world know that women can also make achievements in the court. The women's imperial examination must be promoted and more talents like County Magistrate Shen must be selected for our Great Zhou court."

After they finished speaking, they cursed themselves in their hearts, thinking that one slow move would lead to the whole game being ruined.

At the beginning, they failed to win the battle for the throne, which led to a precedent for women taking the imperial examinations. Now, there has emerged the popular Shen Zheng. As long as Shen Zheng is alive, they will not be able to decide whether women can take the imperial examinations.

But what they didn't expect was that neither high-yield rice nor cotton textile machines could be produced by their own efforts.

If they were asked to ask themselves whether they could produce something that would benefit the country and the people, they would only shake their heads: A man's ambition should be as high as the sky.

The emperor knew what they were thinking, but the ice is three feet thick and it didn’t freeze overnight.

He knew in his heart that what Shen Zheng brought out was not just high-yield rice or a cotton weaving machine, but that she stood on his side, set a precedent for him, and set an example for women all over the world.

This was a battle between him and all the civil and military officials, as well as scholars from all over the world. It was not just a matter of one or two objects.

But today he had won a great victory and was in a good mood, so he didn't want to argue with them any more.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to do? If not, please leave the court. If you have a faster horse, you may be able to catch up with the Yongning Earl's convoy and say goodbye."

Civil and military officials: ...They have nothing to say to Earl Yongning. They are so humble today, and Earl Yongning cannot do without his help.

When they came out of the Golden Palace, many people felt numbness in their hands and feet, and they walked a long distance unconsciously using their hands and feet.

Several officials who used to love socializing were like frosted eggplants today. They got into their own carriages and ordered the driver to go home quickly.

If the news is true, today is obviously a good day, but many people are feeling depressed at this moment.

Men have been the beneficiaries of officialdom since ancient times. When they could not resist the emperor's decision to open up the imperial examination system, they were also waiting to see the emperor make a fool of himself: they are just women, how can they accomplish anything?

Many people thought that the emperor was just a temporary impulse. After he found out that no matter how hard women tried, they could not compare to men, the idea of ​​opening up the imperial examinations became a joke and no one mentioned it again.

But who would have thought that a female official would suddenly appear and give them a heavy blow.

Who could be happy when being suppressed by a woman whom they looked down upon?

But there are also a few people who are open-minded and consider the overall situation. They understand that once high-yield rice and textile machines are popularized, people throughout the Great Zhou will benefit.

Even if they are officials who have enough food and don't wear cheap clothes, who doesn't have some business at home? Who would complain about having too much money?

Only when the entire Great Zhou is well, will they be well.

Today's events have caused the entire Shangjing City to boil. Looking through the streets and alleys, there are actually a lot more women on the streets today than in the past.

They were all wearing clean and beautiful clothes, walking on the road with their heads held high, and when they saw some men, they would even sneer.

They walked back and forth in groups of two or three on the main street of Shangjing. Someone said, "Alas, if it weren't for Lord Shen, I wouldn't even dare to dream of having a grain yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu."

The woman next to her stroked her hair and agreed, "That's right. Men have been officials for hundreds or thousands of years, but we have never seen them weave cotton into cloth."

A woman passed by them, stopped, covered her mouth and laughed, "They say the Weaver Girl is the Weaver Girl, but the ones who can weave cotton cloth are us women."

Her words caused everyone to laugh, and a man passing by quickly turned around and changed lanes.
