Chapter 288 Appoint a female official?
Song Yunchu felt the warmth of his fingertips, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort of the moment.
"The technique is not very good, please don't be offended, madam."
His gentle voice sounded behind me, "There is a long way to go. I will practice more and satisfy you sooner or later."
His calling her "Madam" made Song Yunchu's eyelashes flutter slightly.
This was the first time he called her that; it had never happened before.
Madam and husband are the names of ordinary couples. She understood that this was a way for him to weaken his status as a monarch. In fact, as early as after returning from Medicine King Valley, she no longer regarded him as a dog leader.
But he still showed his cautiousness from time to time, and she would be moved when she saw it.
I have some ideas, it's time to have a good talk with him.
"The princess was injured on purpose."
Jun Liluo didn't care much when listening to Song Yunchu's words. "She protects Jun Tianyi but doesn't admit it. It's understandable that you are annoyed with her."
He knew that she was a sensible person and would not take any harsh measures against Si Lianhuan just because of Jun Tianyi.
Jun Tianyi is not worthy yet.
He is just a clown, powerless and powerless, how can he turn the world upside down? Si Lianhua may not always be stupid.
"I wanted to teach her a lesson, but I didn't really bother her. I could even say I admired her a little. In today's world, most princesses are destined to marry far away. Even if they live in a powerful country, they may be restricted. But she is different. She has practiced martial arts since she was young. She can go in and out of the military camp, kill the enemy, and is respected by the soldiers. This is extremely difficult for a woman. She can control her marriage in her own hands. How can she not be considered capable?"
As soon as Song Yunchu finished speaking, Jun Liluo echoed him, "That's true. We are both princesses. Although my sister didn't marry far away, she is not as free as she is."
He used to think that it was a good destination for the princess of Tianqi Kingdom to marry in his own country, but if compared with Si Lianhuan, the latter was more free and easy.
She can even keep a pretty boy like Jun Tianyi, so it's obvious that she doesn't care much about etiquette.
When a person's status and power are high enough, he will not want to abide by those rules and regulations.
"Because Xiling Country is a little more open-minded than us."
Song Yunchu said casually, "Although they also have many rules and etiquette, they have two female generals and three female tutors in their court."
And in the court of Tianqi Kingdom, there was no other woman except her, the fake man.
Jun Liluo thought her hair was almost washed, so she scooped up hot water with her palm and rinsed off the foam on her hair.
Song Yunchu didn't hear his response and just thought he was considering it.
Indeed, the matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration.
"A Luo, I want to discuss something with you."
"What a coincidence. I came here today to discuss something with you." Jun Liluo said, "Why don't I say it first?"
"Then you go first."
"I don't want you to face the world in men's clothing all the time." Jun Li Luo did not stop moving his hands. "If possible, I hope you can be yourself again."
"I hope you can wear women's clothes but still stand firm in the court as Prince Ning."
Song Yunchu's heart moved slightly, and then he smiled, "This is difficult, but you can say this... Do you have any ideas?"
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be implemented smoothly, so we have to be prepared."
"As you said, Tianqi's national strength is not inferior to Xiling, but it is indeed not as open-minded as them. This is something Tianqi should learn from them."
"You once said that women are confined to their boudoirs since childhood. No matter how smart they are, they cannot achieve success like men. This seems to be the unspoken rule of Tianqi Country for hundreds of years. No emperor has ever tried to let women serve the country."
Hearing Jun Liluo say this, Song Yunchu tilted his head slightly, "So you want to try it?"
"Why not?"
Jun Liluo took over the conversation, "In the past, the talented people around me were all men. Influenced by you, I realized that women can also be admired when they are strong. Let's not talk about the ones far away. Just look at the ones around you. Jiang Rumin is quite talented in addition to medical skills. The others may not have much knowledge, but they are good at fighting. If they compete with the soldiers who train all day in the martial arts field, maybe one can beat several of them."
"Those people in our court already have deep-rooted stereotypes, but it doesn't matter. We can try to overturn those rigid rules and implement new policies."
"If you want to appoint female officials, you must have a reason that can convince them and make them accept it."
"If we propose this policy directly in the court, it will surely arouse opposition. So, let's try another approach. We need to make it seem profitable to them so that they will join in."
Jun Liluo stroked Song Yunchu's hair as he spoke, "I've thought about it. I'm going to hold a talent selection meeting. It's not limited to men or women. Anyone under the age of 35 who is capable can participate. There will be a total of six competitions, both civil and martial arts. The six winners will be selected, and the winners can directly enter the government."
Song Yunchu's eyes lit up slightly.
After the joy, she raised a key question, "In today's world, women are always confined to their boudoirs and have difficulty in getting in touch with people's livelihood and politics, so they will definitely suffer when facing this kind of test questions, so..."
"I understand what you mean. This kind of test is unfair to them. That's why this election will only test the four arts of the literati. There won't be any questions about people's livelihood and politics. Because the test content is not complicated, the reward for the top winner will not be an important position, but a sinecure. In this way, the ministers won't have too many objections."
Listening to Jun Liluo's answer, Song Yunchu raised his lips and said, "Very good, take the idle position first, and if you have outstanding ability, you can be promoted later. As long as you have an official position, you will not be afraid of not having opportunities to make a breakthrough."
If the old guys in the court knew that the emperor wanted to recruit talented people and grant them official positions, they would definitely persuade their children, nephews, and cousins to join in one by one, hoping that the winner would be one of their own family members. After all, this is a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Moreover, according to the stereotype of most people, they will only think that the champion must be mostly men.
They might be unhappy about women participating in the competition, but they had no reason to object to the emperor holding such an event.
After all, there has never been such a precedent, but which precedent was not set by humans?
Perhaps some ministers with more open-minded ideas would also like to let their daughters try. If they could become the first female general or female tutor of Tianqi Kingdom, the pride would overflow from their heads just thinking about it.
Jun Liluo added: "It would be best to ensure that at least three of the six winners are women. That way, no matter what the old guys in the court say, there will always be many voices among the people praising the women's abilities, and officials can't compete with the masses of the people."
Song Yunchu's heart was filled with joy, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a moment.
I had originally wanted to discuss with him how to improve the status of women in this dynasty, but I didn't expect that he already had an idea.
It is indeed fair to use competition to prove one's strength.
"How did you come up with this idea?"
"I have listened to your voice for so long and it is not in vain. How can I not understand your wish?"
His extremely gentle words rang in my ears.
“Yun Chu, the dynasty is feudal, but that doesn’t mean I am feudal.”
"I agree with many of your ideas."
"Not only do I want to be someone who matches your strength, my thinking also needs to catch up with yours."
"Not only because I love you, but also because - your philosophy really makes sense."
