Zhao Qingrui had met her several times. Although she was old now, she was a gentle and generous woman, worthy of being the mother of the country.
Zhao Qingrui was too lazy to care about her father's thoughts, but she was still prepared to have someone help her take care of the affairs of the harem, otherwise she would be exhausted to death.
And in Zhao Qingrui's opinion, Mrs. Zheng is the most suitable candidate.
Of course, if she can't manage it well, she can just replace her with someone else. There are definitely many people in the harem who are willing to take care of it.
But how to manage these people?
Allow them to enter the imperial court? Zhao Qingrui touched his chin and thought it was feasible. These people certainly couldn't all be fools.
Zhao Qingrui was a little hesitant, not knowing whether his father would agree.
This matter needs to be made clear to her father in advance. She doesn't want any rift in the relationship between her and her father.
There seems to be no other choice except to enter the court.
After the court meeting the next day, Zhao Qingrui invited Madam Zheng over.
Looking at the gentle Mrs. Zheng in front of her, with such beauty coming from her bones, it’s no wonder that her father likes her. Even she likes to look at beautiful women.
"Your Highness asked me to come here, I wonder why?" Madam Zheng bowed.
She still had complicated feelings towards Zhao Qingrui. If Zhao Qingrui had not come back, the crown prince would definitely be her son Fusu.
"Madam Zheng, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down. I invited you here today to discuss matters concerning the harem." Zhao Qingrui looked at Madam Zheng with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Now that I am the regent, there are too many affairs in the court and I can't take care of the harem. Madam Zheng is my eldest brother's mother and the head of the harem, so she has enough qualifications." Zhao Qingrui looked at Madam Zheng.
Madam Zheng was so frightened that she quickly stood up, her face pale with fear, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. I am only your Majesty's concubine and cannot be the head of the harem."
"Mrs. Zheng, you've got it wrong. That's not what I meant. I'm not qualified to be the master of my father's harem. I just think there are too many things going on in the harem. Mrs. Zheng has the right qualifications and a high enough status. I would like to ask Mrs. Zheng to help me manage the affairs of the harem." Zhao Qingrui said hurriedly.
Mrs. Zheng blushed when she heard what Zhao Qingrui said, knowing that she had misunderstood.
"Oh, I'm willing." After thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng agreed to it.
There was nothing to do in the palace, so she occasionally asked Fusu and Wang Xia to bring her grandchildren to her palace to visit.
She is old now, and His Majesty will no longer let her sleep with him, so her life is still a bit lonely.
Seeing that Mrs. Zheng agreed, Zhao Qingrui showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Afterwards, he talked to Mrs. Zheng about things in the harem.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng was very familiar with everything in the harem. Zhao Qingrui just told her about it, and she knew how to deal with it.
"I didn't expect Madam Zheng to have such talent. It's a waste for her to stay in the harem." Looking at Madam Zheng, Zhao Qingrui sighed. Madam Zheng has extraordinary conversation and it is said that she seems to be a princess of some country. Not only does she have extraordinary conversation, but her knowledge is also extraordinary.
"Your Highness is joking." Madam Zheng smiled gently.
Even those in the harem knew what Zhao Qingrui did after she came back, especially that she set a precedent by allowing women to enter the court.
Her existence greatly improved the status of women. Although all this had nothing to do with the women in the harem, they still admired Zhao Qingrui very much.
Now, the status of His Majesty's daughters, except for her and Yin Man, has been greatly improved, and some have even embarked on official careers.
As the daughters of the First Emperor, they did not have to worry about starving for the rest of their lives, but if they wanted to live a better life, they had to work hard on their own.
Zhao Qingrui provided countless women with opportunities to climb up the social ladder, which has also made Zhao Qingrui's reputation in the Qin Dynasty almost surpass that of the First Emperor.
After handing over the pile of troubles in the harem to Madam Zheng, Zhao Qingrui immediately felt relieved.
She made an appointment with Mrs. Zheng that she would review the matters arranged by Mrs. Zheng once a month, and Mrs. Zheng would handle the rest.
Even though the affairs of the harem were handed over, Zhao Qingrui still had a lot of things to do every day, and the whole day was fully scheduled.
After persisting for a few days, Zhao Qingrui really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Everyone, please stand up." Zhao Qingrui sat at the top, looking at the group of people standing below.
"Today, I want to set up a new department to serve the emperor. Now that my father is away, I will be in charge of this department." Zhao Qingrui said with a serious expression.
After becoming regent, according to her father's wishes, she had to be serious and not show any emotion, as state affairs concerned the entire country and could not be treated as a joke.
There are still many old foxes in the court, and we cannot let these people know what we are thinking.
There are many requirements to be a good emperor.
Zhao Qingrui was wearing the black robe of the crown prince, and his eyes were coldly scanning the submissive people below.
"A ruler ruling the world alone cannot do without ministers to assist him. I am now preparing to establish a cabinet. The cabinet ministers' preparatory work will begin from this point. However, at that time, those who enter the cabinet will be officials in charge of compilation, review, and reading. They will not have subordinates, and they will not be allowed to monopolize the affairs of other departments. When the departments report on their affairs, they will not be allowed to make comments."
"Your Highness, I wonder what Your Highness wants to do with this cabinet?" Li Si stood up.
"I assist in handling miscellaneous government affairs in various parts of Daqin, draft and review government affairs, and I make the final decision." Zhao Qingrui said lightly. She was really tired. She had no private time of her own. The emergence of the cabinet was too necessary.
"The cabinet shall have ten regents, whose official positions shall be below those of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and they shall serve the emperor. They shall not interfere with other powers in the court, and they shall not hold other official positions in the court concurrently..." Zhao Qingrui briefly stated his requirements.
