Chapter 322 Security and Law Enforcement Envoy
Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little sad.
Chu Yian doesn't care how many bad peach blossoms he has. In her heart, his position has always been very clear.
Family, friends...
Before Qin Sheng could finish feeling sad, Chu Yian came back with the buns and handed them to him.
Qin Sheng took it and entered the palace with Duke Qin.
Just as the two of them left, someone came to the palace to pick up Chu Yian and Tao.
Today's process is a bit complicated, but also clear.
Duke Qin and Qin Sheng made great contributions this time.
According to his merits, Duke Qin should have been promoted to the first-rank king long ago, instead of remaining in the first-rank duke position.
The emperor had been wary and suppressed the matter before, but when he returned to Beijing this time, his attitude had obviously changed.
In addition, the Qin family will be used next time, so this time not only did they not suppress them, but they also directly appointed Qin Xinghuai as the King of Zhenbei.
Qin Huaishu, who was far away at the border, conferred the title of Prince of Zhenbei on Qin Sheng. Although Qin Sheng's title did not change, his rank was suddenly raised to the fourth rank.
Qin Xinghuai was crowned king for his military achievements, so his first wife, Tao, naturally would not be left with nothing.
Tao Wanyu of the Tao family was conferred the title of Lady of the State, and Chu Yian did not receive any title based on the Qin family's military achievements. However, thanks to his ruthlessness in dealing with that group of playboys over the past month, he was able to get a legitimate official position.
There is no rank for security and law enforcement officers.
There was no such official position before. When the decree came out, not to mention Chu Yian, who among the senior officials was not shocked? Some people were so shocked that they dropped the tablets in their hands.
Before, Chu Yian relied on the emperor's decree to enforce the law and had the emperor's support behind him.
Now that the decree has been issued, she is even more legitimate.
This is interesting because it has no levels.
The level of the title is too high, and Chu Yian’s current achievements are obviously not commensurate with it, and he cannot convince others.
Because of his low rank, he cannot punish those who have nepotism with those important officials.
The emperor actually came up with no levels.
As soon as the decree was issued, someone immediately knelt down and asked the emperor to revoke the order. How could a woman become an official?
This is against etiquette.
Although what he did was no different from before, except for the addition of an official position, he was now stepping on the tails of many people.
They were screaming really happily.
Chu Yian looked at the emperor sitting on top, his eyes shining frighteningly.
She swore that in all the time she had known the emperor, this was definitely the most handsome he had ever looked.
Really, no lie.
Seeing her admiring eyes, the emperor couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but then tried hard to suppress it. Looking at the censor who was hugging the pillar and about to hit it, he asked softly: "My dear minister, you said it is against etiquette. I wonder which etiquette is it against?"
Although it is a common convention in many people's minds that women cannot serve as officials, there has never been a clear rule stating that women are not allowed to serve as officials.
The censor was obviously choked. He thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. He began to act like a rogue: "Your Majesty, in all these years, no woman has ever entered the officialdom. Although there is no clear record, this is the rule passed down by our ancestors."
"Rules cannot be broken. Madam Qin Sanshao had already violated the rules before, and we did not say anything."
"She wants to continue to uphold justice for the people, and I support her. However, Your Majesty, please reconsider the matter of appointing her as an official."
"If the Emperor insists on doing so, I can only plead with my life..."
Before he could finish, the emperor said, "Then go ahead and hit it."
He was often threatened with this matter in the past, but now the emperor has come to terms with it. If he wants to die, he'd rather die sooner. With this group of people in the court, he will be stopped from doing anything he wants.
They often give warnings by hitting the pillars.
Future generations will judge one's merits and demerits. An imperial censor who died by hitting his head against a pillar, with no other merits, really thought he could go down in history just by hitting his head against the pillar?
It's a nice idea. If it were that simple, he would have become a saint by now.
Everyone: ...
Chu Yian: “Puff!”
Chu Yian couldn't hold back his laughter, so he quickly covered his mouth and quietly hid behind Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng raised the corner of his lips, blocked her tightly, and lowered his voice very low: "Don't laugh first, laugh when you get back."
Chu Yian nodded, held back his laughter, and came out from behind Qin Sheng. His eyes became brighter when he looked at the emperor.
Although this decree caught everyone off guard, the decree had already been issued, and Chu Yian did not enter the court, which was considered to be a reluctant way for those officials who did not want women to serve as officials to give some room to compromise.
But now that the Qin family has rewarded everyone except Qin Rang, who would dare to offend the Qin family in the future?
Chu Yian is already arrogant, and he will become even more arrogant in the future.
Thinking of her intolerant attitude towards those lawbreakers, all the ministers couldn't help but close their eyes. They would have to discipline their family members more strictly in the future.
There are also those relatives who are not related to you at all and are separated by many generations. People do bad things in their names. Why don’t you solve it yourself first.
Although Chu Yian can deal with those people, it is his own reputation that will be damaged.
Now that she holds an official position, she is qualified to write a letter to the emperor. It would be really embarrassing if she did so.
Everyone started to make plans in their minds, and the rewards from above had not stopped yet.
This time it is a reward for the generals below.
The shouting of rewards lasted for a long time, until noon. Chu Yian hadn't eaten breakfast and was starving.
After finally bestowing all the rewards, the emperor gave his last decree to Qi Ze.
Princess Wuyou entered the Fourth Prince's mansion and became his concubine.
Qi Ze accepted the order expressionlessly without even looking at Qin Sheng.
After the awarding ceremony ended, Qin Sheng and Chu Yian left the palace first after saying goodbye to Duke Qin... no, the King of Zhenbei and his wife.
I couldn't wait to get home, so I found a restaurant to have a meal first.
Qin Sheng wanted to laugh: "You bought me buns, why didn't you think of buying some for yourself?"
Chu Yian ate without even looking up: "The imperial edict came in a hurry, and I haven't washed up yet. I have to finish it quickly and go to the palace. I can't let so many people wait for me alone."
Qin Sheng hummed and gave her a piece of meat with his chopsticks: "Come on, I'm afraid the law enforcement officer will have a hard time in the future, so eat more."
Chu Yian paused while eating, looked up, and said this with such joy that he wanted to spin around: "This is such a huge surprise, I thought it had nothing to do with me."
This time, King Qin Xinghuai of Zhenbei is the chief general, and Qin Sheng is the vanguard. The official rank she can be given will not be too high, and it will not be enough to compete for her with an imperial edict.
She thought she was entering the palace to witness the highlights of other members of the Qin family's lives, but she didn't expect that she would be included.
Moreover, she was appointed as an official on her own initiative, and she was the first female official in Dashun in so many years. How could Chu Yian not be happy?
This is just the beginning. Chu Yian believes that many women will compete for the opportunity to show themselves after seeing her being given an official title.
Although they cannot enter the court for the time being, this is a good start. How far they can go in the future depends on their efforts.
