This little princess has gathered so many talented people that it's hard not to think too much.
Moreover, they did not believe that His Majesty was unaware of these matters.
His Majesty knew everything, but still indulged her. The two looked at each other and continued to have a headache.
Zhao Qingrui didn't know what was happening here. With her father's words, she was completely emboldened. She sent someone directly to the court newspaper to publicize the matter of the woman's participation in the court, so as to have more women in the court.
As for those who oppose, we will send them to revise the book when the time comes, which will make more space.
Within two days, the news that women could also take the exam spread completely.
The Confucian scholars were naturally irritated again. They gathered together one by one, and a large group of people knelt outside the Qilin Hall, asking the First Emperor to revoke his order. If His Majesty did not agree, they would kneel for a long time.
"You are the one who caused this trouble, you go and deal with it." Ying Zheng was so troubled that he just threw the matter to his daughter.
"Okay, father, you take a rest, I'll do it." Zhao Qingrui pinched his father and saw the fatigue in his eyes. His father was also annoyed by these people.
"Are you going to just take it over like that? If so many people resign at the same time, many institutions in the court will not be able to function." Ying Zheng rubbed his brows in pain. Is this girl so careless or does she know nothing?
"Let others take over first. We will have to select new talents in a month. If there are not enough people in the court, I still have a lot of people. We can ask them to take over when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
Ying Zheng: ...So they're blatantly trying to plant a hand in the government? And right in front of him?
Forget it, there’s nothing big happening recently anyway, so just let her do it.
"Mr. Zhao, please go and tell them that if they are willing to continue kneeling, they can kneel. Those who do not leave before tomorrow will be regarded as contemptuous of the imperial power and will be dismissed from their posts. This will just free up more positions, and there will be plenty of people to fill them. The court will not be able to function without them." Zhao Qingrui said coldly.
Most of those kneeling people were Confucian scholars, and some were old Qin nobles. This was what gave my father such a headache.
Zhao Gao widened his eyes and looked at the First Emperor cautiously.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and go." Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him.
He looked at the girl who was trying to please him by massaging his shoulders and back. This girl was here to collect the debt.
"Thank you, father." Zhao Qingrui smiled brightly. Her father still supported her, and she was very happy in her heart.
"Hmph, this matter is not over yet. Those people will not give up so easily. When the time comes, there will surely be a lot of memorials criticizing you." Ying Zheng gave her a displeased look. This girl felt happy to do this now, but there were still a lot of things to come.
This incident is just a good lesson for her so that she can be more cautious next time.
"I know. They just say I'm meddling in other people's business. It's you, father, who asked me to do this." Zhao Qingrui shamelessly poured a glass of water for her father. As long as her father stood on her side, that was enough.
"You knew you were still doing this? Those imperial censors are all sharp-tongued. You are a little girl, don't let them make you cry and then ask me to cheer you up." Ying Zheng wanted to pry open the girl's head to see if her brain was different from others.
"You look down on people." Zhao Qingrui pouted. Well, she was thick-skinned. Even if those people said something unpleasant, she would just ignore it.

Outside the Qilin Hall, dozens of people were kneeling, most of them were Confucian scholars.
When Zhao Gao came over, many people became nervous and uneasy, not knowing whether the emperor would revoke his order.
"Mr. Zhao, does His Majesty have an imperial edict?" an official asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty has not issued an imperial edict, but His Highness has issued an order. Everyone, please go back. Those who stay before the court tomorrow will be regarded as contemptuous of the imperial power and will be dismissed. There will be an assessment next month, and new talents will enter the court. It's a good opportunity for you gentlemen to make room for the newcomers." Zhao Gao said lightly.
He was also very unsure in his heart. He agreed with the actions of these Confucian scholars. It was inappropriate to allow women to enter the court.
However, His Majesty stood behind Zhao Qingrui in this matter.
Moreover, haven’t you seen that the two prime ministers have shut up? These people are still so active. If you don’t get punished, who will?
"This, this, isn't this against the rules?" The leading Confucian scholar Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Gao in disbelief.
"That's right, she is just a princess. Even the crown prince does not have the right to directly dismiss so many officials from the court. We want to see His Majesty." Another person quickly echoed.
"His Majesty will not see you. His Majesty said that this matter will be handled by the little princess. Everyone, those who are willing to kneel, please continue. I have something else to do here, so I won't chat with you adults anymore." Zhao Gao put the whisk in his arm and turned around after speaking.
The people who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment, having never expected such a result.
"Sir Zhou, what should we do?" The others looked at Zhou Yan.
How could they possibly want to be dismissed? Their positions may not be high, but their official positions have brought them a lot of things. After enjoying these things, who would want to continue to be an ordinary person?
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. His Majesty doted on this little princess too much. State affairs were no joke. He just let a little girl do whatever she wanted.
"Let's leave the palace first and go to Doctor Chunyu's house." Zhou Yan said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.
It's not that they didn't want to meet Li Si and Feng Quji, and they even went to see the Imperial Censor Feng Jie, but these people kept their doors closed and didn't see anyone.
At this moment, they had no other choice but to go to Chunyu Yue for help.
——————
I learned from the palace people that those people had left and were preparing to look for Chunyu Yue.
"Father, what do you think they want to do by going to find Chunyu Yue?" Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, without stopping the movements of his hands. His father is really getting better and better at ordering people around.
"Just massage your legs for a while. What else can you do? Of course, I will report to the emperor tomorrow that you have exceeded your authority." Ying Zheng directed his daughter to massage his legs while drinking tea. He felt more comfortable after being massaged by his daughter for a while.
"Then what are you going to do, father? Are you going to take back my official position? I won't have to review these memorials anymore?" Zhao Qingrui became excited as he pounded his legs.
The speed of processing memorials has increased now, but she doesn't really want to do these things. She would rather take care of her own little piece of land every day. There are really too many things to do in the court.
If she didn't care about the affairs of the Qin Dynasty, since she had money and connections, she would have wanted to find a way to get Zheng He's treasure ship out on her own.
