The first female general, these four words were deeply engraved in everyone's heart, including Jiang Yue.

She thanked him again.

But at this moment, an older civil official stood up to object.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of Donglin, there has never been a precedent of women serving as officials in the court. Please think twice!"

After he finished speaking, the court, which had just relaxed, suddenly became silent. All the court officials looked at him, wanting to know how His Majesty would respond.

Wu Fei and Xue Wen felt nervous.

Zhao Yuanzhen cursed in his heart, "What a stubborn old man."

Jiang Yue knew that it wouldn't be so smooth. In her opinion, it would just take more effort.

Zhao Chongxiu just looked at the civil official quietly.

"If there is no precedent, then create one!"

He is His Majesty, and he has the final say in everything.

"Disguising as a man and sneaking into the military camp is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Your Majesty will be merciful and will not pursue the matter, but you are absolutely unworthy of this rank."

"Why can't I take responsibility?" His Majesty's face was not very good, and the civil official began to take advantage of his seniority.

"A military general is just brave, and General Jiang has no talent at all. If he becomes arrogant and ignores everyone in the future, then the status of women will be higher than that of men."

Although Jiang Yue advocates gender equality, her imprinted ideas are deeply rooted.

Wu Fei and Xue Wen's faces turned ugly.

Zhang Yan said:

"Your Majesty, status is something you have to fight for, and respect is mutual. Jiang Yue just wants to prove that daughters are no worse than boys, and there is no such thing as suppression."

Then he looked at the old minister with displeasure.

"This gentleman is being too arbitrary!"

Ling Yunxiao also said:

"Your Majesty, General Jiang is a man of both literary and military talents. She is not only good at both civil and military affairs, but also..."

Originally wanted to mention that Jiang Yue was a juren, but Ling Yunxiao thought that it was another crime of deceiving the emperor, so he didn't mention it for the time being.

Xia Yuanchen continued: "She is more than qualified to be a military advisor, so how can she not have any talent?"

What military generals dislike most is the so-called judgment of civil officials, such as "common man" or "reckless man" and other derogatory words.

After hearing this, all the generals nodded, because they had all witnessed Jiang Yue's talent.

Minister of War Li Shao, Minister of Justice Wen Liang, and Vice Minister of Justice Su Chuan have all personally experienced Jiang Yue's martial arts and talents.

Li Zhao was the first to stand up and speak for Jiang Yue.

"Your Majesty, I know the young general well enough. She deserves this position."

Su Chuan: "The young general is not a reckless man. He has taken every possible measure to capture the bandits."

Wen Liang: "Young general is very good at handling cases. How can he not take the position of a general of this rank?"

After hearing this, Ling Yunxiao and the other generals realized that Jiang Yue was not only recognized at the border, but also had his own connections in the court.

Hearing that a court official was speaking for her, Wu Fei and Xue Wen couldn't help but look at the civil official who was unwilling to accept Jiang Yue as an official in the court. They saw that he lowered his head and didn't look at her.

Zhao Chongxiu also looked at the civil official who had just stood up.

"You are not kidding, do you want me to go back on my word?"

There is no reason for him to take back what he said.

"Jiang Yue is the first-class female general of Donglin!"

The civil official kowtowed and said:

"The old minister dare not."

"If you know you don't dare, just shut up!" Zhao Chongxiu's cold eyes made the court official dare not say anything extra.

Of course, there was a reason why Zhao Chongxiu protected Jiang Yue so much.

"If it weren't for the young general's dedication to the country, our Donglin's military capabilities would still be the same as before. Ask yourselves, can we win so easily?"

After he said this, all the officials fell into deep thought.

Ling Yunxiao first said: "It is definitely impossible!"

"That's right!" Zhao Chongxiu calmed down.

"Although General Ling is brave and will win in the end, he will surely lose a lot of soldiers on the border!"

"Our soldiers are all raised by their parents, and they are all living beings. Because of Jiang Yue, countless sacrifices have been avoided!"

"No matter if it's a man or a woman, this is the strong general I need in Donglin!"

"Jiang Yue proved to everyone that women's abilities are sometimes far superior to men's!"

Zhao Chongxiu's words made all the military generals in the court think so, and the civil officials no longer had any objections.

Because they understood Jiang Yue’s extraordinary qualities.

Jiang Yue was glad that His Majesty was a wise ruler!

"Your Majesty is right!" As Li Zhao echoed, Wen Liang, Su Chuan and all the civil officials followed suit.

"Your Majesty is right. General Jiang deserves to be the first-rank female general of Donglin!"

Ling Yunxiao, Zhang Yan and other generals also became friendly.

They never imagined that today, when they entered the palace to be conferred the title, their moods would fluctuate like a horse carriage rolling over a mountain.

The corners of Zhao Chongxiu's lips relaxed slightly, and he was very satisfied with the court officials' reactions.

"A female general will surely become famous all over the world!"

After conferring the rewards, Zhao Chongxiu decided to hold a grand celebration banquet in the palace tomorrow night.

"Jiang Yue, dress as a woman tomorrow night!"

Jiang Yue felt that His Majesty was talking nonsense. Not to mention the civil officials, all the military generals were looking at her expectantly.

……

After the court was adjourned, the civil officials walked in groups, whispering to each other along the way.

The military generals are quick on their feet and powerful in their actions.

On the way out of the palace.

During the short trip Jiang Yue was with Ling Yunxiao, Xia Yuanchen and Zhang Yan, the three of them focused all their attention on Jiang Yue.

Now that they knew Jiang Yue's daughter, they always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange when they were traveling with her. They couldn't put their finger on it.

They wanted to get closer and have a long talk with Jiang Yue, but they didn't dare to get closer.

Contradictory and subtle.

Jiang Yue looked at the nervous expressions of the three people beside her. When she first entered the military camp, she was just an insignificant soldier, but these three people were more impressive than each other.

The Xuanwu Army following behind Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Yue with a new layer of understanding in their eyes.

As soon as we arrived at the palace gate, we saw people everywhere.

Ling Yunxiao's family was originally in the capital, so he rushed home as soon as possible.

The Ling Mansion had already held a grand banquet to celebrate his triumphant return.

The same was true for Chen Yuan. Thinking of the young lady at home, he couldn't wait to meet his family.

Although Xia Yuanchen and Zhang Yan's families are not in the capital, Your Majesty has just rewarded them with mansions.

Jiang Yue saw her fifth sister who had been waiting for a long time and enjoyed the feeling of reunion after a long separation.

Beside the fifth sister, in addition to her two brothers-in-law, there was also a carriage that had been prepared long ago.

In the nearly two years since Jiang Yue left, the capital city has not been as peaceful as imagined. There are always rebels from various countries who want to assassinate Zhao Chongxiu.

But without exception, they were all discovered by Lin Guo and Mu Heng. They were sent to the Ministry of Justice, and Wen Liang beheaded them in public.

This went on for nearly two months until all the rebels were wiped out. His Majesty was very pleased and appointed Mu Heng as a general. Lin Guo was also appointed as a captain.

Such titles were earned through their military merits.

Jiang Wuni stepped forward excitedly.

"Xiao Liu, I finally see you!"

I never thought that it would be almost two years since we last met.
