No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 553 Female Community Minister

A few days later, the Minister of Rites submitted a memorial, arguing that Princess Yunluo had been wronged and should be awarded the title of princess.

But it was not easy for the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, because Prince Zhi was, after all, the biological father of Princess Yunluo.

Although his sins were not as great as those of a married woman, it would still be inappropriate to confer the title of princess on his daughter.

The Fourth Master sat firmly on the high platform, watching the officials on both sides arguing with each other, without expressing his opinion at all.

The other officials were dumbfounded.

After all, everyone knows that before His Majesty ascended the throne, he spent the longest time in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.

After all, I have some connections with the officials of these two places.

In other words, although not all the people in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites are the Emperor's confidants, at least most of them are doing things according to his wishes.

Now the two confidants started arguing, but the Emperor did not express his opinion.

this......

It's about to cause trouble!

Anyone who can become an official and serve in the court is not a fool.

Knowing that there is something fishy going on and not knowing what the Emperor's attitude is, who dares to say anything?

After arguing for a few days, the Fourth Master took the opportunity to ask everyone what they thought.

The few people who were called out all replied that it was up to His Majesty to decide.

I cursed in my heart: Haha, if you want to block it, then block it. If not, then forget it.

She's just a princess anyway. If you give birth to more children, won't there be more princesses?

It doesn’t matter if I send one more letter.

The Fourth Master asked a few well-known people and got the same answer from all of them. He then asked other people in a general manner, but no one expressed any opinion.

He finally made the decision: "Well, it's not appropriate to confer the title of princess."

"She will be appointed as a third-rank female community official, specializing in handling cases like 'domestic violence'."

What?

What did you say

All the ministers were dumbfounded.

Where did this official position of "Female Community Minister" come from?

It’s also the third rank!

Is this set up in comparison with the Dali Temple Minister?

Everyone then realized that the Emperor was malicious and was waiting for them here.

Anyone who wanted to stand up and say that this was inappropriate had already been named by him.

At that time, you said that everything should be done according to the Emperor's wishes. Now that the Emperor has really issued an order, you stand up and oppose it?

This is probably not because he thinks his life is too long, or because he doesn't want to be an official anymore.

The Fourth Master curled his lips in pleasure, taking in everyone's reactions.

Originally, he wanted to bring it up directly and then argue with everyone.

However, Cha Cha didn't sleep all night and gave him this idea, asking him to try it.

Unexpectedly, the effect was much better than if he had spoken in person.

Now, this group of people couldn't even say anything against it and had to accept this outcome.

Once this precedent is set, there will be a precedent to follow if they want to appoint female officials in the future, and it will be too late for them to say anything.

This group of people have not yet thought of this possibility in the future. They think that the Fourth Master is just stingy in conferring the title of a princess and is only giving an official position to compensate Princess Yunluo.

After all, because of the recent case of Longkodo favoring his concubine and killing his wife, everyone is watching the "Women's Society" opened by the Queen.

Now I know that the "Women's Society" actually directly appointed female officials, which is a good thing.

Some officials were originally afraid that if they were transferred, wouldn’t that move them away from the center of power?

Now that the Fourth Master has appointed Princess Yunluo as a female official to take charge of this matter, some people feel relieved.

Although this third-grade rank is indeed a bit enviable, it is still acceptable.

Zhang Tingyu, on the other hand, was somewhat aware of this. He keenly realized that this "female official" would not appear only once.

He wanted to speak up and explain it, but when he thought of his daughter Zhang Ruoxue, he hesitated and shut up.

He has three sons and two daughters, but his sons are not as talented as his daughter Zhang Ruoxue.

Zhang Ruoxue was lucky enough to become the Queen's sister-in-law.

If she had the opportunity to become a female official, it would be very good...

The Fourth Master's words were golden, and no one refuted them in the court, so the matter was settled.

In order to avoid any more trouble, he issued an imperial decree that day and directly delivered the order to confer the official title to Princess Yunluo.

When Princess Yunluo received the imperial edict, her whole body was trembling.

She didn't expect that just by saying a few words of loyalty to the Queen, she could get such a big pie!

The Qing Dynasty had never appointed female officials in the previous dynasty. Even the Empress Dowager, such a powerful person, could only interfere in government affairs from the harem.

And she, a princess who had been married, became an official of the third rank!

Such an honor is definitely not something that His Majesty can easily give her as compensation.

The Queen must have done something behind the scenes!

From this moment on, Princess Yunluo was determined to stand by the Queen's side.

Regardless of whether the Queen did it for power or really cared about all the women in the world, this benefit was given to her in a real way.

She will never be able to have children again in her life, and she will never live as an ordinary woman again.

Therefore, she will go all out on this path to becoming an official and strive to do better than men!

When Lin Mingyan received this news, she was indeed relieved.

Just as the Fourth Master thought, this precedent was set so easily, so women would have a goal to strive for in the future.

Today they can be officials in the Women's Society, and tomorrow they may be able to work in the Dali Temple or the Six Ministries!

With the leadership of the female society minister, Lin Mingyan easily assigned her several female officials, which opened up the situation of the female society.

Du Juan hesitated for several times, and finally asked Lin Mingyan for permission to leave the palace to help.

She was really conflicted because she had been by the Queen's side for so many years and could be said to be her right-hand man.

Although the palace maids below have also been experienced, their emotions are always different from hers.

It was inevitable that the Queen would feel a little uncomfortable when she proposed to leave at this time.

She thought the Queen would not agree, or at least not give in so easily.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mingyan laughed as soon as she brought it up.

"You finally brought up this matter? I thought you wouldn't mention it," Lin Mingyan handed her an imperial edict with a smile.

Du Juan opened it doubtfully, and inside was the decree appointing her as the third-rank female minister.

"This...this..." Du Juan was so excited that she couldn't speak, her eyes were red.

She is now a female official of the fourth rank, and has not made any achievements. She is prepared to be demoted one rank when she is transferred to another post.

However, she didn't expect that the Queen Mother had already considered it for her and directly promoted her to a higher rank, appointing her as the female community minister.

She immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mingyan sincerely, tears of emotion streaming down her face.

She was filled with emotion at this moment.

She didn't think she was a lucky person. Not only did she come from a humble background, but she also had such a beastly father.

She lost her mother at a young age and was sold as a slave, suffering all the hardships in the world.

But she didn't expect that all her luck would be used up in meeting such a good master!
