"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent of women serving as officials in Beiming." Lu Taifu said truthfully, and then asked seriously: "Does Your Majesty want to set this precedent?"

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Su Yueqing and nodded firmly, "Yes."

During the time he spent with the Imperial Aunt, he deeply knew that the Imperial Aunt was a role model for women in the world, no less capable than any man.

What's more, there may be many women as capable as the Imperial Aunt.

His mother was one of them.

Although the Queen Mother did not ask about court affairs, she knew them very well and had her own unique insights, which were no less impressive than mine.

Now that Xiao Moyao, the biggest scourge, has been eliminated, it is a good time to clean up the dirt in the court. Why not take this opportunity to give women all over the world a chance.

Tutor Lu looked up at the emperor, his eyes complicated, showing both concern and appreciation.

"In this case, I am willing to support the emperor." Master Lu held the tablet and bowed deeply.

The emperor is willing to take this step, and as an old minister of Beiming, he will certainly support it with all his strength.

After seeing Su Yueqing's abilities, Master Lu gradually changed his view of women and became more receptive.

Su Yueqing didn't expect that Master Lu, who had always been stubborn and aloof, would be so supportive, and was quite surprised.

It seems that the ancient sages and scholars were not as conservative and stubborn as rumored.

The other ministers looked at each other in silence for a moment.

What else can they say? The emperor has said so, and even Tutor Lu, whose disciples are spread all over the North Sea, has said so. What else can they do but agree?

What's more, some officials were not thinking about this at all. They were still worried that Prince An's rebellion would implicate themselves.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the reactions of the ministers below with satisfaction. It seemed that his decision to propose allowing women to serve as officials at this time was correct.

If it were any other time, I would probably have been drowned in the saliva of those censors.

This time, thanks to the strong support of Master Lu, the decision was made so smoothly.

Originally, he thought that Master Lu would be the one who was most opposed, and he had already thought of his arguments and how to convince him.

After all, Master Lu is the emperor's teacher, and all his lessons were taught by Master Lu himself, so he has to respect him a little.

However, he did not expect that Master Lu would be so polite, which saved him from a quarrel.

"Since my dear ministers have no objection, then let's announce the decree." Xiao Jingzhan said to Eunuch Li beside him.

"Yes." Eunuch Li said as he stepped back and took out two imperial edicts.

Then, he picked up one of the imperial edicts and read: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: From today on, women from the Northern Ocean can take the civil service examinations, obtain honors, and serve as officials; they can join the army to fight, kill the enemy, and gain honors."

Su Yueqing was touched when she heard this brief imperial edict.

It’s great that women in this dynasty can also make a career for themselves.

After reading this imperial edict, Eunuch Li picked up another one and continued reading: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the Regent Princess is both civil and military, resourceful, and made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion of the rebel Xiao Moyao last night. She is hereby conferred the title of General Fuyuan and awarded 10,000 taels of silver."

Upon hearing this imperial edict, the ministers all looked at Su Yueqing.

It was the first time they had seen a woman become a female general and also the regent princess.

With all these identities combined, no one in the capital dares to mess with this woman anymore.

After Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial edict, he walked down the steps, came to Su Yueqing, and respectfully handed over the imperial edict, "Princess, please accept it."

Su Yueqing took the imperial edict in a daze, bowed slightly, and said thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Is she an official?

And she is the number one female general in Beiming!

Sounds so cool!

After Su Yueqing was excited for a moment, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you when I come to the palace."

Now that he is a general, his behavior and manners must be like that of an official.

"The Imperial Aunt wants to find the Imperial Uncle and ask him to lead the troops to support the border." Xiao Jingzhan had guessed her intention long ago.

The emperor's uncle went to the battlefield with only a few thousand men. News came from the border that the situation was urgent.

Given the Emperor's aunt's character, she would definitely not stay in the capital and wait for death.

Su Yueqing nodded, "That's right. The prince did not bring enough troops with him when he went to war. The troops at the border are weak, and reinforcements are needed right now."

Su Yueqing knew that her prince was invincible and could survive desperate situations, but she was still worried.

She didn't want to hide behind him, she wanted to fight with him.

"Don't worry, auntie. I have already prepared troops for you. Today I appoint you as the General of Beiming. I want you to lead the troops to support me and quell the rebellion in Dongli."

When Xiao Jingzhan said this, the meaning became that it was not Su Yueqing who volunteered, but the court who asked her to go to the war.

Su Yueqing looked at Xiao Jingzhan and felt relieved. It seemed that the little emperor had already paved the way for her.

If she is willing to leave, the other party will do his best to support her.

"When will we set out?" Xiao Jingzhan said as he walked down the stairs.

"Before noon." Su Yueqing said. The matter was urgent and she had to set off immediately.

"I entered the palace today to say goodbye to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Su Yueqing continued.

Xiao Jingzhan took a deep breath, "Aunt, go see the Queen Mother first. After the morning court session, I will personally send you off to the battle."

Su Yueqing nodded, took the imperial edict, and left the palace.

Looking at Su Yueqing's leaving back, the ministers in the palace didn't know what to feel for a moment.

Right now in the court, there is really no one more suitable than Su Yueqing to go to the border to provide support.

Those so-called military generals are only good for show, not worthy of their reputation, only have mediocre skills, no strategy, and are muddle-headed.

After Su Yueqing left, Xiao Jingzhan's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

Now that the important matter of rewarding the imperial aunt has been resolved, the next step is to clean up the court and rectify the rules and disciplines.

There will definitely be some bloodshed in the court today.

......

In Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother heard that Su Yueqing was coming and was waiting eagerly.

"Queen Mother, the princess is here." The maid came in and reported.

As soon as the voice fell, Su Yueqing had already stepped into the hall and called out sweetly, "Imperial sister-in-law."

"Hey, Qingqing, you are finally here. Let me see if you are injured." The Queen Mother didn't wait for Su Yueqing to come over. She had already come to her side and touched her up and down to see if she was injured.

After the battle last night, she was really worried that something had happened to Qingqing.

In the second half of the night, she felt relieved when she heard the emperor say that everything was fine, Prince An had been defeated and escaped, and Qingqing was fine.

I originally wanted to go see Qingqing right away, but it was too late and I had to wait until morning.

Unfortunately, when she took the carriage to the Regent's Palace in the morning, Qingqing had already entered the palace, so she had made a wasted trip.

When she returned to the palace, she saw Baizhi and Baishao in her own palace. Only then did she realize that the emperor had also summoned Qingqing to the palace to attend the morning court.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a female general now!" Su Yueqing took out the imperial edict and asked like a child asking for praise, "Am I awesome?"

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration, "Qingqing has always been amazing!"

"This female general is what you deserve!" The Queen Mother was not surprised.

The emperor had mentioned the matter of conferring the title of general to her, but she did not expect the emperor to act so quickly.

"Sister-in-law, I will lead my troops to the battle before noon to help the prince." Su Yueqing's tone was not as cheerful as before, "Another purpose of entering the palace this time is to say goodbye to you and the emperor."

The Queen Mother's face flashed with worry, and then she said, "Okay, the Queen Mother will send you off to the battle."

"Qingqing, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you to come back." The Queen Mother held Su Yueqing's hand tightly, her voice trembling.

She understood Qingqing's character, and all she could do was support her unreservedly.

"Yeah, okay." Su Yueqing nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Su Yueqing prepared to leave the palace.

At this time, Xiao Jingzhan hurried over from the morning court, with the smell of blood on his body.

"Mother, Imperial Aunt." After seeing these two people, a smile appeared on Xiao Jingzhan's tired face.

"Is everything done?" Su Yueqing asked.

Xiao Jingzhan nodded, "Is the Queen Aunt going to leave?"

"Yes, the prince is still waiting for me." Su Yueqing wished she could fly to her prince's side immediately.

"Okay, I and my mother will take you there."

......

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Yueqing and a group of people arrived outside the gate of the capital.

At this time, a hundred thousand soldiers were already neatly lined up on the side, and Su Yueqing also changed into a set of silver armor, ready to set off at any time.
