After saying what needed to be said to Ye Jingyu, it was Ye Jingyu's turn.
Unlike the Ministry of Justice, the cases collected by the Court of Judicial Review either involve officials, are major cases in the capital, or are unusual cases that the Ministry of Justice could not solve within the prescribed time limit.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Justice are both of the third rank, but because the cases handled by the Court of Judicial Review mostly involve dealing with court officials, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review often has a more special status.
The current Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is also surnamed Ye, and comes from the royal family. In terms of seniority, he is the emperor's cousin.
However, he is now old and his body has been weakened by wine and women. Although he holds the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he rarely manages affairs. All matters of the Court of Judicial Review are handled by the two junior ministers.
These two junior officials, one from a prestigious family and the other from a noble family, were colleagues as well as rivals.
Ever since he learned that Ye Jingyu might go to the Dali Temple, Ye Jingchen had already instructed Xie Chang'an to thoroughly investigate all the officials in the Dali Temple, especially the two junior officials.
They were somewhat capable, and although their actions were rather extreme, they had not yet crossed the line of the law, so Ye Jingchen did not take any action against them.
As for the other officials of the Dali Temple, Ye Jingchen will reveal their information to Ye Jingyu after she enters the Dali Temple.
“Jingyu, you will start as a clerk in the Dali Temple. The clerk’s duties are to record, organize, and assist in the trial of cases. This position will allow you to access most of the case files in the Dali Temple. In your spare time, you can try to find out which case files are problematic.”
"The files collected by the Dali Temple involve serious and major cases. Such cases often involve the interests of many people and are very dangerous. If you really find a problematic file, do not act rashly. Tell Father Emperor what you think is wrong, and Father Emperor will have the Imperial Guards investigate."
"There has never been a precedent of a woman holding an official position in Daeyu. As a pioneer, if you want to gain a foothold in the court, you will need to put in more effort than men and achieve better results than them. But once you succeed, the benefits will be obvious! People's preconceived notions will be broken, women will have more choices for the future, and more women will rise to high positions and speak up for all women."
"Since you've chosen this path, walk it bravely. Your elder sister and I will always be your strongest support!"
"Crown Prince, I'm here too! I'll support Third Princess as well!" Ye Jingyu quickly said.
"Third Princess, you're amazing! I want to learn from you in the future, become an official in the court, and become the most powerful official!" Ye Jingyan said, clenching her fist.
“I will support what my brother supports!” Ye Jinghe, who had never gotten involved in these matters before, actually spoke up.
Ye Jingchen looked at Ye Jinghe and smiled. His child had grown up and knew how to share his burdens.
"Third Imperial Sister, I will support you too!" Ye Jingyu followed suit, echoing Ye Jinghe's sentiment.
"Third Princess, if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future and are too embarrassed to trouble Father, you can come to me," Ye Jingming said.
"I can support you financially! If I'm not in the capital, you can ask my elder sister, anyway, I have nowhere to spend the money I earn," Ye Jingyan said finally.
She has decided to go to Yongzhou, right after Ye Jingshu's birthday, and will set off with Ye Jingchen and the others.
Yongzhou and Beijiang are in the same direction, so they can reach Yongzhou together and then separate.
"Then I'll strive for the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?" Seeing so many people supporting her, Ye Jingyu made a rare joke.
"Third Princess, you are so smart, you are definitely destined to be the future Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!" Ye Jingshu said without hesitation.
"A mere young girl, yet she dares to aspire to be the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?" The emperor was somewhat dismissive of this.
However, Ye Jingyu was the first of these children to be engaged, and her fiancé was Gu Beichen, who had achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations. The emperor was very pleased with this.
Therefore, when Ye Jingchen suggested that Ye Jingyu serve as a minor clerk at the Dali Temple, the emperor agreed, even though it was against the rules and there was no precedent for it.
After all, Ye Jingyu is not an ordinary woman. Ye Jingyu is his daughter, a princess. A princess cannot be equated with an ordinary woman from the common people!
As for Ye Jingyu's arrangements, the emperor naturally had no objections. He was counting on Ye Jingyu to use the Ji family to make more money for him!
"He is a prince, isn't the position of chief official too low? How about a physician? Or an assistant minister?" the emperor suggested.
He needs to show the Ji family his sincerity!
“Father, Jingming and Jingyu both started as clerks, and a clerk is only a sixth-rank official. Jingyu’s recorder is only a ninth-rank official, and Jinghe has worked his way up from an ordinary soldier. You can’t favor one over the other!” Ye Jingchen said hurriedly.
As the sage said, "It is not scarcity that is to be feared, but inequality!"
In families with many siblings, the biggest fear is unfairness, as unfairness can easily destroy unity!
"How can these be the same?!" the emperor muttered, but ultimately said nothing more.
When he was still the crown prince, he was most afraid that the late emperor would favor other princes, which would make him doubt whether his position as crown prince was secure.
He was a good father, and he wouldn't let his crown prince fall into the same anxiety he had experienced back then!
The next day, the emperor announced Ye Jingyu's entry into the court.
The other two princes entered the Six Ministries as principal officers, and no one objected at the time. However, when it came to Ye Jingyu, some people, like the emperor, felt that the position of 'principal officer' was too low and not worthy of the third prince's status.
In their hearts, the one who was unworthy of the Third Prince was clearly the grandson of the Ji family!
Ye Jingchen wrote down the names of these people.
As for Ye Jingyu's appointment, the emperor did not announce it in court, but instead summoned the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and two vice ministers separately.
After all, it was unprecedented for a woman to serve as an official in Dayuan. The emperor could foresee that if he announced it in front of his court officials, even if it was just a ninth-rank clerk, the court would be in an uproar and he would be drowned in the spittle of the censors and officials.
However, once Ye Jingyu achieves merit in the Dali Temple, although the censors will still be dissatisfied, the emperor will have already accomplished enough to silence them.
Ye Jingyu initially entered the Dali Temple disguised herself as a man, because it would be too conspicuous for her to enter and leave the Dali Temple in women's clothing, and it would definitely cause a great uproar and eventually be discovered by the censors.
Ye Jingyu took the initiative to wear men's clothing. She also asked the Minister and Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to keep it a secret. She only wanted to organize the case files properly, find those with doubts, overturn wrongful convictions, and prove her abilities.
She will not reveal her identity as a princess until she proves herself.
She didn't want any day when she achieved something, for incompetent people to whisper behind her back, saying that she only got all this glory because of her status as a princess.
She wanted people to see her abilities, not her status as a princess!
