The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 440 Liuli was chosen to be an official

In fact, General Anyong noticed his actions, even the actions of Emperor Wu's noble husband - the propaganda style, but he pretended not to see them.

Shangguan Wanjun was silent for half a minute, and everyone was constantly guessing the emperor's intentions.

"I thought the world was peaceful and the people were living and working in peace and contentment. However, I never imagined that as the truth was revealed one by one, the people were still suffering miserably. In fact, the actions of some local tyrants have made their lives even worse. My dear ministers, tell me, is it my incompetence or the incompetence of the court?"

Everyone was shocked.

Who wrote a secret memorial to the emperor to complain again?

Shangguan Wanjun calmly scanned the entire scene, then looked up at Minglan beside her.

"Read it to all my beloved ministers."

Minglan bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

She took out the memorial Shangguan Wanjun had given her and read it aloud: "In Nanning County, the magistrate, the county magistrate, the legal advisors, and the chief constables knowingly broke the law, accepting bribes and plundering the people's wealth. They also committed crimes such as forced buying and selling, forcing women into slavery and concubines, favoring concubines over wives, and cruelly treating legitimate sons and daughters. When I, the Minister of Justice, first heard of this, I was furious.

If the affairs of Nanning County are settled, you will all leave for the next stop. I implore His Majesty to send someone to Nanning County to govern it."

Written by: Dali Temple Minister - Song Yunshuo.

After listening to Minglan's reading, the ministers fell into deep thought.

Shangguan Wanjun frowned and said, "After reading this memorial last night, I couldn't get it out of my mind for a long time. I tossed and turned until the latter part of the night before I finally fell asleep."

Suddenly Shangguan Wanjun stood up from her chair and continued to look at the silent ministers.

"My dear ministers, how can we truly put an end to the corruption and bribery among officials? In our great nation, there are hypocrites who read the books of sages and talk about morality, but secretly commit countless crimes that harm the world.

Do these bastards think that I will be stupid for three years if I get pregnant once, and six years if I get pregnant twice? So they come one by one to challenge my bottom line."

The ministers dared not say a word, and the ladies of the imperial court and the princesses of the counties dared not even breathe, for fear of angering the emperor.

The Right Prime Minister observed the man's expression for a long time, then swallowed and spoke.

"Your Majesty, since the Supreme Court Minister wants the court to send someone to manage the county magistrate, I wonder how Your Majesty decided?"

Let's get back to the main topic, otherwise the emperor will be furious and will scold them for a long time.

"What does the Right Prime Minister think?"

"This..." He suddenly had to send someone, but he didn't know who was suitable.

Gong Huifang watched for a long time, then hurriedly bowed and stepped out.

"Your Majesty, I would like to try my hand at managing a county magistrate. I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance to realize my ambitions."

Xuan Xuanjun was surprised to hear his wife's words. He never knew that his wife had such ambitions.

Not only him, but all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked on the spot. Even Shangguan Wanjun, who was always calm and composed, was a little uneasy.

"Are you serious?"

Gong Huifang nodded solemnly: "Yes, I also want to share more of the burden for the emperor and the empire, so that I can display my talents."

She would not have dared to think about it in the past, but the emperor gave her courage and she wanted to give it a try.

Shangguan Wanjun suddenly laughed, and everyone was puzzled.

"Well done, you are worthy of being a Yuan Dynasty girl."

Hearing this, many women were very excited.

Gong Huifang, a princess, did this, and Murong Xuelan, a female official, also stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to be sent abroad as an official to benefit the people."

Hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun looked at her with admiration and even walked towards her.

"I am very pleased with your words, my dear minister. In that case, Lord Jiahe and you will select the officials to be sent abroad for this incident. As for Nanning County, I intend to pair both men and women. I wonder which male minister is willing to serve as the county magistrate."

Duke Anguo - Zhang Yufei realized that his chance had come and quickly bowed and stepped out.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the county magistrate."

Shangguan Wanjun didn't expect that he would be the first male official to come out.

"Very good. In that case, Anguo Palace will go to Nanning County with Lord Murong to govern. I hope you will support each other and change the appearance of Nanning County."

The two men bowed solemnly and said, "Yes, I obey your command."

Seeing that Murong Xuelan had been assigned to a foreign place, Gong Huifang looked at the empress with anticipation.

"No hurries."

Gong Huifang sighed in disappointment: Of course she should be anxious. She also wanted to govern an area like a civil servant and benefit the people.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at the crowd, scanned everyone's face, and finally her gaze fell on the propaganda army.

"Why don't you, young general, try your hand at a civilian position?"

The propaganda officer was shocked: "Ah, I can't do that."

Shangguan Wanjun rolled her eyes without hesitation: "You said I was born to govern the country and be the emperor."

The Propaganda Army lowered its head in shame after being confronted by Shangguan Wanjun, but General Xuanwei's eyes lit up and his mind changed.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a great idea. Let this boy go to the county to experience the local customs and people, and then become a general protecting the people. The couple can still be together. It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled at him with satisfaction: "General Xuanwei still understands me. This matter is settled."

The propaganda team was stunned: "Is it decided just like that? Isn't that too lax?"

"But Your Majesty, where shall we, my wife and I, take our posts?"

Everyone also looked at Shangguan Wanjun, only to see her curl her lips and smile.

"Everyone's busy in the coming days, and there's a fear that there won't be a place to display their ambitions and talents. How about this? You should head towards the Dali Temple and its officials. Who knows, your next stop might also be a corrupt official."

Everyone swallowed their saliva when they heard this: Your Majesty is so bold.

Minglan almost laughed out loud: I have to say, her master is really powerful.

Thinking of Liuli, who liked the runner-up, Lord Liu, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but smile, and everyone became even more confused when they saw this.

What is the emperor laughing at? He is just entertaining himself.

"Liuli, I want you to go to the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yuan Dynasty, take a look at the local customs and practices."

Liuli, who was waiting at the door, was stunned: "Ah, Your Majesty, you won't let me manage the county magistrate as well, right?"

She doesn't have such ambition. She just wants to stay by her master's side and serve her wise and powerful emperor for the rest of her life.

Shangguan Wanjun smiled brightly and nodded, and Liuli immediately looked sad.

"Your Majesty, have I done anything wrong recently? Please give me twenty lashes of the board." Please don't exile me.

Seeing her sad face, Shangguan Wanjun shook her head and sighed.

"I didn't say you'll stay as a county magistrate forever. If you work hard, you might be promoted back. Be good and don't cry."

Liuli held back the tears that were about to fall in grievance. She must have done something wrong, which was why the emperor disliked her and wanted to exile her.

Wu Huang Guifu, Xuan Zhuanfeng and other concubines were all stunned by Shangguan Wanjun's actions.

Shangguan Wanjun then looked at the talented Liu Qingshu and gave him instructions.

"Second-place winner, you must take good care of our Liuli."

Hanlin Academy - Liu Qingshu looked up in shock: Could it be that he was also chosen by the emperor to be sent as an official?
