Chapter 25 I am sick. I am going to court.



The old emperor took a deep breath and kept telling himself in his heart: Be patient.

Su's ability can benefit the people of the world and save the people of the world. Just her superb arithmetic alone would be a great achievement if her methods could be passed on.

The surroundings were strangely quiet. Su Juan watched the Minister of Personnel being carried away and looked cautiously at the old emperor above her, "Your Majesty, am I right?"

【Why are you all silent? 】

[Did I calculate too long? ]

[It seems that I was still too hasty. I should delay it for a while and recalculate it again...]

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Central Secretariat raised his voice and shouted, "The Crown Prince's wife is so fast in arithmetic that we cannot compare with her!"

If this goes on any longer, his old bones won't be able to bear it any longer, so the Minister of the Central Secretariat signaled to the old emperor to issue an imperial decree as soon as possible.

The old emperor suppressed his anger and said, "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince's wife is so proficient in arithmetic!"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat immediately agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty! Such a talented person is a blessing to our Great Jin, and we should make use of him."

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, "What Mr. Liu said is exactly what I have in mind."

Su Juan: “???”

【? 】

[Could it be that the old emperor himself did not know the answer to the question he had asked? ]

[What's wrong with this Lord Liu? He's blindfolded and trying to praise me? ]

Su Juan was completely confused. [No way, these two people must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, right? ]

The eunuch standing by looked at the piece of rice paper on the old emperor's desk with "person seven, price fifty-three" written on it with a look of suspicion. But after all, he had experienced many ups and downs, so he still had some vision.

Your Majesty is intending to promote the Crown Prince's Consort Jing.

It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to Prince Jing's Mansion. Prince Jing has a great chance of winning the selection of the crown prince.

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Liu, I vaguely remember that the position of Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue and Finance is still vacant?"

Zhongshu Ling: "Your Majesty, it is still empty."

Su Juan blinked, [What? ]

The emperor asked again, "Do you think Su is suitable to be the official?"

Zhongshu Ling: "I think it's perfect."

Su Juan: [What the hell? ]

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, I will issue an order immediately."

Su Juan was completely confused, [No???]

[What the hell are you talking about? Don't you want to ask for my opinion? ]

[Is my opinion no longer an opinion?! ]

The emperor then gave her a perfunctory look, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Crown Princess, you should have no objection, right?"

Su Juan: "...Your Majesty, I have no objection."

Su Juan cursed: [Do I have the right to object? ! ]

[The pie in the sky gave me a headache. 】

The emperor was quite satisfied with Su Juan's reaction, "Very good."

[I didn't do anything, but I got a sixth-rank official position for nothing? 】

Su Juan sighed, "Is the old emperor so careless in doing things? No wonder he chose a crown prince with a violent personality in the end. It turns out there are clues!"

After hearing what Su Juan thought, the old emperor did not bother with her. He immediately drafted the imperial edict, stamped it with the imperial seal, and then handed it to the eunuch to go to Prince Jing's Mansion before leaving the palace. It could no longer be changed.

Su Juan had a subtle feeling, as if she had fallen into a trap dug by the old emperor.

[It's not a bad thing to get a job for free, but why do I feel like I've been cheated? ]

The old emperor and the minister of the central secretariat suddenly looked at her, and only realized what was happening now, but it was too late.

[What good would it do for the old emperor to force a sixth-rank official onto me? ]

Su Juan couldn't understand.

The old emperor had an unfathomable smile in his eyes. It was best not to figure it out. "Su Qing, starting tomorrow, you will come to court with all the civil and military officials. But don't oversleep."

The old emperor even changed his title and waited for tomorrow's morning court.

When Su Juan heard this, her eyes widened. How could this be possible!

【Go to court! ? 】

[I am sick, why should I go to court? 】

Su Juan immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, I... I vaguely remember that only officials of the fourth rank and above need to attend the morning court. I am just a small official of the sixth rank."

The old emperor played dumb and said, "Really?"

He looked at the Minister of the Central Secretariat and said, "Mr. Liu, why do I remember that officials above the sixth rank are required to attend the morning court?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat responded, "Your Majesty, I also remember that it was from the sixth rank and above."

The old emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Juan, "Su Qing, did you hear clearly?"

[Shit, these two are deliberately targeting me, right?! ]

The old emperor cleared his throat, his eyes darkened, "Could it be that Su Qing is unwilling to attend the morning court?"

Su Juan laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to do so. It is my honor to be able to attend the court meeting with all the officials and listen to your Majesty's words."

The old emperor pricked up his ears suspiciously...

[I definitely don’t want to! ]

[Who would give up the good life of sleeping till the sun rises to come to court with an old man like you to suffer! ? ]

[This is so unfair. You have so many idle people but you don't need them. Why do you want to mess with a woman like me? ]

[The old emperor lacks great virtue! ]

The Minister of the Central Secretariat coughed twice, trying to drown out Su Juan's voice.

The old emperor had resolved a major worry in his heart and was in a very good mood. He waved his hand and asked the two men to leave.

...

At this time, the appointment edict had already been sent to Prince Jing's Mansion, appointing Su Juan as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue and Revenue, a sixth-rank official, and was required to attend court meetings on time every day.

Princess Jing was stunned and looked at Prince Jing, "This..."

Prince Jing was also a little surprised. He had only guessed that His Majesty would keep Su Juan by his side, but he didn't expect it to be this way. There hadn't been a female official in the Great Jin Dynasty for decades. Now, there would probably be a lot of discussion in the capital.

Song Qianfan was so angry that he overturned the table!

"What a good official!"

"What does Mei He do for a living? Didn't I ask him to recommend someone from his own side?"

Li An was silent for a moment, "My Lord, Minister Mei fainted in the palace and was carried back to the mansion."

"According to people in the palace, Minister Mei said something wrong that displeased the emperor, so he was punished to kneel in the imperial study for several hours before he fainted and was sent back to the palace."

Song Qianfan was furious at this moment. Such a good opportunity was ruined by Su Juan again.

"What on earth is your majesty thinking of a woman who doesn't stay in the inner house to take care of her husband and children but goes out to show her face in public?"

First he forced this woman on him, and now he did this, is he trying to make the whole capital laugh at him! ?

On the same day, the news spread throughout the capital. Princess Su, the Crown Prince of Jing, had received a personal decree from His Majesty to be appointed as Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue, a sixth-rank official, effective immediately.

This is the first time in decades that a woman has served as an official, and she is a married woman!

This immediately caused a huge uproar in the capital.

Those who knew guessed that the emperor wanted to keep Su Juanan by his side and watch over her every day.

For those who don’t know, there will soon be some new changes in the capital. This happened during the reign of the Empress Dowager in the previous dynasty.

The most surprised among them was Liu Miaoqing.

She didn't expect that her father would actually recommend Su Juan.

She clenched the pen in her hand, her thoughts in a mess.

In this way, will I have the opportunity to earn a position in the future, serve His Majesty in the court, and do things for the people of the world...
