The officials had mixed feelings about Shen Zheng, who was named the "first female official" by the people.

If we only look at it from the perspective of the country and the people, Shen Zheng's appearance and her achievements will undoubtedly make everyone excited and happy.

But people are selfish.

What’s more, he is a powerful person who has been immersed in officialdom for many years.

The appearance of Shen Zheng clearly revealed one thing - the male-dominated and female-inferior survival model that had been implemented in this world for hundreds and thousands of years and had greatly benefited men seemed to be gradually beginning to disintegrate.

The lack of rights made them start to panic.

What is even more unacceptable is that the person who pushed Shen Zheng in front of everyone was a male emperor.

At the beginning, several emotions such as confusion, resentment, and difficulty in accepting filled the minds of all officials.

But later on, Shen Zheng impressed some officials with her actions - if it were them, could they have done this?

unable.

They don't know how to farm or weave.

They don’t seem to understand how to use their brains to create things.

What can they do?

Military generals will go into battle to kill the enemy, while civil officials will quote from classics.

You can quote from classics...but you need "classics" and "classics" to do so.

If Shen Zheng hadn't appeared, they wouldn't even dare to think about the "universal reading" thing.

As mentioned before, isn’t “owning books” a symbol of rights?

But they heard that Shen Zheng wanted to destroy even this kind of "right".

complex.

Their emotions are extremely complicated.

They indulge in the sense of superiority brought by "power", but they are also officials of the Great Zhou, and are called "parents and officials who provide food and clothing" by the people.

How to choose?

Looking at the thin but tall figure in the hall, many officials lowered their eyes and fell into deep thought.

......

This was the first time the Queen met Shen Zheng.

After the official uniform was made, it was hung in her bedroom for several days.

Whenever she sat on the couch and looked at the official uniforms, she would fall into imagination.

What will Shen Zheng look like after putting it on?

Will it not fit?

Would it be inconvenient?

Do you think the neckline doesn’t look good?

Now, she knows.

He is more handsome than she imagined, and more dashing than she imagined. Shen Zheng should like him too.

Is this how women should live? the queen thought.

"This official uniform suits Lord Shen very well, and so do the jewelry." The Queen sat on the upper throne and said to Shen Zheng with a smile, "After seeing it in person, I have a clear idea in my mind. Next... I will order someone to make two more sets of official uniforms so that you can have a change of clothes."

Shen Zheng looked down at herself.

Clothes make the man, and Buddhas rely on gold. Today, after putting on this official robe, even she felt that she looked like a decent person, which was incomparable to the past.

She smiled and raised her head, bowing sincerely, "Thank you very much, Queen."

This time all the officials understood.

They said what's the difference.

——Lord Shen’s clothes are different from theirs!

The style and cut were even more noble than their official robes!

And that set of white jade jewelry! It's not cheap!

Your Majesty, what is this?

Is it considered meddling in politics?

"What the hell are you doing with politics?" Ji Benchang started talking in a dirty voice. "We have our first female official in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There will definitely be a second, third, or even countless more in the future. You can't just pick up clothes that you can't wear, right? The Queen is the mother of the country. Since no one is looking after her, why don't she take care of her? Otherwise, ask your wife and daughter to make clothes for you?"

humiliation!

The officials who whispered about the "Queen's meddling in government affairs" were so angry that smoke came out of their nostrils.

Ji Benchang is blatantly humiliating them!

"I can't control the Weaving Bureau!" The Minister of Zongzheng Temple said, "In fact, the Weaving Bureau has some relationship with your Ministry of Revenue. Since Lord Ji appreciates Lord Shen so much, why don't you let the Weaving Bureau make clothes for female officials?"

Ji Benchang was not happy, "Don't put all the blame on me. Let me tell you, do you still want salary money from Zongzheng Temple this year?"

He actually threatened him directly with money!

The Minister of Zongzheng Temple was so angry that his fingers were shaking.

Not only is Ji Benchang talking a lot of shit and piss, he's even bold enough to threaten him at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet!

He wants to sue—

"This lady."

As soon as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple stood up, the Fulin envoy, who had been ignored for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He could not understand the undercurrents at the banquet, nor could he understand the officials' attitudes towards the female official, but he remembered that sentence.

——Since you want to see it, I will let you see it to your heart’s content.

It's a big joke.

The people of the Great Zhou only know how to farm, and the officials love to fight for power, so where can they get their "Fulin divine objects"?

"Madam, you said..."

"Her surname is Shen." The Fulin envoy just opened his mouth but was ruthlessly interrupted by the emperor with a happy expression.

The Fulin envoy choked.

The attack power of the Emperor of Great Zhou suddenly became very strong!

"Sir Shen." His blue eyes looked straight at Shen Zheng, with a hint of sarcasm in them: "You said you have seen my Fulin divine object. Where is that divine object? Can I take a look?"

All the officials became curious after hearing this.

Because Shen Zheng doesn't seem like a boaster...

Take the high-yield rice at that time for example. She said the yield per mu was 1,000 kilograms, and they thought she was bragging. But when the autumn harvest came, they found out that it was only 1,200 kilograms.

So Shen Zheng is a person who loves to play the pig and eat the tiger, and only plays with reality.

As they thought about it, the officials' hearts began to pound.

Even the emperor and empress, who were sitting high on the throne, moved slightly forward so that they could see more clearly later.

Shen Zheng smiled and looked at the Fulin envoy, "Since the envoy wants to see it, he can see it."

After that, she looked around the hall again and said, "My lords, please feel free to look around. Don't be polite."

All the officials choked, as if they were constipated - what? Is this your home?

Before they knew it, everyone in the palace was being led by the nose by this sixth-rank female official.

In just a few breaths, Yu Jiusi brought the palace servants back to the palace.

More than a dozen boxes of various sizes were moved into the hall, and as the palace servants were moving them, bits of rice husks fell onto the carpet.

"..."

"..."

The officials had different expressions.

Ji Benchang was happy: "Lord Shen has brought grain here, haha, good, good, this way we must let everyone know how difficult it is for farmers and our Ministry of Revenue!"

Some people also secretly mocked that the local officials were really not presentable.

The Fulin envoy's expression changed several times, and finally he asked with a smile: "Sir Shen, what are these...?"

Shen Zheng smiled shyly and pointed at a few boxes: "This, this, this, this, this, this, and this, all of them contain your Fulin sacred objects."

She said the four words "Fulin divine object" so lightly that they seemed like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall became visibly in chaos.

The officials were holding cups, some were holding cups, some were holding plates, and there were a few people holding stools in between.

What is “this, this, this, this and this”?

Isn't this a joke?

The envoy from Fulin brought a few of them, and they were all treasures as dear to them as their own flesh and blood. Before taking them out, not only did they have to wash their hands, but they also had to perform a ritual to pray for them. But when they were in your hands, Shen Zheng, they became “this, this, this, this, this”?

What's more, those boxes are not small. The two largest ones can even accommodate a person lying down!

But didn’t the Fulin envoy say that those were stars in the sky?

The stars are bigger, like...

Is that reasonable too?
