All the ministers in the hall began to think about the story Jiang Qiao told today, and some also discussed it for a while.
Everyone present came from a prominent family. They did not understand the hardships of the people's lives, but were just curious about what could be done to help the village survive the cold winter.
But as Jiang Qiao uttered the last word, the hall fell silent.
Jiang Qiao had already said this, and they had some idea of what the woman wanted to ask.
"Your Majesty, this incident has benefited me greatly. I've witnessed the hardships faced by many women. They are often criticized. While women from wealthy families can learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age, women from poor families are often sold into brothels just to survive..."
"My only wish today is that the Northern Kingdom of Han establish a position for female officials. There are so many women in this world who are well-educated, yet can only live in the backyard and bear children for their husbands. I find this pathetic! I beg Your Majesty to give them a bright future!"
Jiang Qiao choked up at the end of her speech. This extra bright path was not only for those ambitious women, but also what she had requested on behalf of the original owner.
In her previous life, although the original owner was deeply in love with Shi Yechen, she was also a rare woman. She was obviously a master of martial arts, and she was kind-hearted and willing to help the poor...
If Shi Yechen hadn't deceived her, she wouldn't be living in the backyard, wouldn't be enduring for the sake of those women's three obediences and four virtues, and wouldn't be trapped in a dry well by a villain...
But she was ultimately blinded and missed her entire life. Otherwise, she would have been the most dazzling and powerful female general in the Northern Han Kingdom...
silence.
Everyone stared at the woman in the center of the hall. Although her body was so weak, her eyes were as dazzling as stars, making people involuntarily feel a sense of submission.
The ladies at the women's table were also surprised. They had never thought of becoming female officials. This was too unorthodox.
Yan Qingli clenched her fists in dissatisfaction, but a smile spread across her face. "It's really not good for a woman to show up in public. Miss Jiang really does what she wants."
But no one answered her.
What's the difference between women and men? Women were young once, and ladies are in their prime. People always want to try new things.
Even if they feel it is unorthodox, they still yearn for it.
Ji Yan looked at Ji Muhe with envy, "Ahe, you gave birth to a good daughter."
Ji Muhe looked at Jiang Qiao with a distressed expression. She didn't know how much grievance her daughter had suffered, which made her truly feel the difficulties of being a woman.
How much pressure does it take to stand here and say these words...
Fu Yanci looked at her with a glimmer in his eyes. It turned out that she was never a piece of rotten wood, but a treasure... No wonder she could change his fate.
He found that she had a unique charm that always attracted people to her.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 19% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
Shi Yechen, who was not far away, had an ugly look on his face, veins bulged on his forehead, and the wound on his right arm was very painful, but he didn't care.
Jiang Qiao lied to him!
She had clearly said that she would talk to her father about the arranged marriage today, but she made such a trivial request for the wish she had obtained with her life!
Is she crazy?!
Maybe she had always been lying to him, and those words were just talk...
Jiang Qiao actually dared to play tricks on him!
Shi Yechen was very angry. He had never cared so much before. Even when Shi Chuan's articles were better than his, he was not so sad.
"Fourth brother, it seems that your wish cannot be fulfilled." Shi Chuan's voice sounded in his ears.
To Shi Yechen, it sounded like naked ridicule. He raised his chin, his eyes full of coldness.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Shi Chuan slowly put down his wine glass, with a faint smile on his lips, and his gaze returned to the woman in the center of the crowd.
Unexpectedly, his cheap cousin had such a broad mind.
Appoint female officials?
Will the emperor agree? Will the ministers agree?
…
Jiang Qiao was waiting for the emperor's answer. She knew that this was not an easy matter and involved many things, but she wanted to fight for it once.
The emperor's eyes were sharp, carrying the pressure of a superior. He looked at Jiang Qiao, "Appoint a female official? Jiang Qiao, do you have any selfish motives?"
Jiang Qiao's eyes were calm. "Your Majesty, I may have had selfish motives in the past, but I don't have any now."
There was silence again.
The golden seal in Jiang Qiao's hand reflected a sharp light.
The emperor thought about it for a long time and finally agreed. He had heard what Jiang Qiao had just said, and he was the one who sent the golden seal.
As the king of a country, how could he joke about it?
"Okay, I agree. I'll leave this matter to the Third Prince."
"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Please reconsider!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, an old man ran up.
This old man was a notorious old-fashioned person, so naturally he would not agree.
The emperor's face showed no emotion. "Master Zhang, if you have any other opinions, please share them."
Master Zhang knelt on the ground, pointing at Jiang Qiao beside him with one hand, and covering his heart with the other hand, as if he was very angry.
"Your Majesty, I have never heard of any country having female officials. This matter is of no small importance and requires further discussion!"
"Also, it is unethical for a woman to serve as an official. I find it inappropriate."
Jiang Qiao retorted, "Master Zhang keeps saying it's unethical. I want to know exactly where it's unethical. Can't women have ambitions?"
"Your Majesty, I think Jiang Qiao is right." Shi Yunyue came to Jiang Qiao's back and knelt down without him noticing.
Shi Yun had never been so happy as today. It turned out that someone had the same idea as her.
