Chapter 171: One versus a Hundred, So Cool (Part 1)
The ghost doctor suddenly looked up at Yun Zheng, his eyes full of shock. This was actually an imperial decree granting him an official position!
She became the first female official of the Great Qi Dynasty! This was a breakthrough in history, leaving her name in the history books of the Great Qi Dynasty!
He had known that Yun Zheng was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. It was beyond his imagination.
In the future, he would be satisfied if his grandson had half of her abilities.
Yun Zheng was overwhelmed with emotions and bowed deeply to the ground, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."
As soon as the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Yun Zhanpeng jumped up with joy, his face flushed. "Zheng'er, you have become the first female official in the Great Qi Dynasty. You really did it. I am so happy. With a daughter like this, what else could a husband ask for?"
"Those guys who laughed at me for dying childless must be going crazy with jealousy right now, hahahaha."
Yunmu's eyes were moist. "Zheng'er, I knew you would succeed. This is the greatest honor!"
Yun Zheng smiled, her face full of energy. "This is just the beginning. I will move up step by step, standing at the highest point, looking up at all living beings."
She wants to be the master of her own destiny.
The imperial edict caused a huge uproar, shocking everyone in the government and the country.
The imperial censors in the court submitted memorials to impeach Yun Zheng one after another, and countless civil and military officials knelt down to beg the emperor to revoke his decision, and some even died in the court.
For a moment, there was chaos.
Outside Princess Jinyun's mansion, a crowd of people gathered, shouting, "We want to see Princess Jinyun."
These are students from the Imperial College. They are dressed in the same student uniforms, full of youthful vigor and energy, like swords just out of their sheaths, full of sharpness.
They are the top students in Da Qi. Either they are extremely smart and talented, or they are the children of officials.
These people will all enter officialdom in the future, and they have families, teachers, and seniors behind them, all of whom are the most powerful people.
They made a big fuss, hundreds of people surrounded Princess Jinyun's mansion.
When Yun Zhanpeng heard the news, his head was buzzing. These students are the backbone of Da Qi's future. They cannot be beaten or scolded.
"Zheng'er, ignore them. They must be here with bad intentions."
The ghost doctor was very angry and surrounded the princess's mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. What the hell was going on?
"A group of grown men actually surrounded a little girl. How shameless! Let's drug them all."
Yun Zheng rubbed his brows and said, "We have to get through this stage eventually. Don't worry, I can handle it."
Yunmu hesitated for a moment, "How about asking the Mirror Division to come and arrest him?"
Yun Zheng waved her hand. "Force can only make people submit temporarily. As for me, I'm best at winning people over with virtue."
Conquer others with virtue? Her? Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't tell.
Outside the door, people were still clamoring, and the one leading the clamor was the most outstanding student in the Imperial College, Kang Rui. He was born in a poor family and had been extremely intelligent since childhood, but he was also very paranoid and once he made up his mind, nothing could change him.
Kang Rui rushed to the front and asked, "Is Princess Jinyun afraid to see us?"
The other students shouted, "If you've done something wrong, you naturally wouldn't dare to see anyone."
"If she dares to step out of the Princess's Mansion, don't blame us for being unreasonable."
A clear voice rang out, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Of course it is..." Kang Rui suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked up suddenly and saw a bright and beautiful face. His mind went blank. It was beautiful, so beautiful.
"Ah, it's Princess Jinyun. Why is she sitting on the wall?"
Everyone looked at the woman sitting on the wall in amazement. This princess acted so ostentatiously and was so unrefined.
Yun Zheng was wearing official uniform, with her hair tied up and no makeup on, but she still looked eye-catching.
A majestic voice sounded, "Why don't you pay your respects to the princess?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Should they kneel? Or not?
Logically speaking, she has a high rank and should kneel.
But, after this kneeling, all the momentum disappeared.
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, "Why? The Imperial College has only taught you to rebel against your superiors, to be arrogant and disrespectful, and not to know respect and inferiority?"
What are you talking about? Kang Rui gritted his teeth and bowed, "Meet the Princess."
The others followed suit and saluted.
Yun Zheng looked down at this group of young students. Someone had said that young students are full of vigor and impulsive, and are the easiest to be misled.
"Why are you besieging the Princess's Mansion?"
Kang Rui straightened his back, his expression extremely serious, "Princess, please resign from your position as Doctor of the Guangchusi Department."
The students followed suit and shouted, "Princess, please resign from your position as Doctor of the Ministry of Grain and Grain."
For a moment, the atmosphere was stiff and tense.
Faced with such power, Yun Zheng remained calm. "What a bunch of traitors! They actually forced this princess to disobey the Emperor's decree."
"What is an imperial edict? The emperor's words are golden. An imperial edict represents the emperor's power and dignity. No one can challenge it."
"You are so brave! As the emperor's most valued students, you don't think about repaying the emperor's grace, but instead you have rebellious intentions, disregarding the imperial edict, despising the emperor, and the court. You are so bold."
This was a serious accusation. The students were horrified and denied it one after another. "No, we didn't do it."
"We think that as a woman, you dared to defy the will of the world and serve as an official in the imperial court. This is truly treasonous."
"Princess, I advise you to resign immediately. It will be good for you and your family."
Yun Zheng chuckled, "My official duties are my business, what does it have to do with you? You guys are just too full and looking for trouble."
Kang Rui frowned. Princess Jinyun was more difficult and powerful than he had imagined.
"This involves etiquette and rules passed down for thousands of years. Everyone must abide by them. Anyone who dares to violate them will be doomed."
He advised earnestly, "Princess, I'm doing this for your own good."
Yun Zheng hated this sentence the most. "It's for your own good" was just moral blackmail.
"I would like to ask everyone, are you wise, or is the emperor wise? Are you smart and knowledgeable, or is the emperor smart and knowledgeable?"
How should the students answer this question? There must be only one answer, "Of course it's the emperor."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "That's right, so I only listen to the emperor. I am a good person."
"You don't listen to the emperor and you disobey his father. You are not good students, you are bad."
Everyone: ...This is too simple and crude!
For a moment, everyone was silent.
This is rigorous logic, how can one refute it?
Kang Rui was smart. He didn't prove himself, but chose another topic.
"Princess Jinyun, you are a woman, and there has never been such a precedent before you. If all women became officials, who would take care of the husbands and children? Who would manage the backyard?"
Yun Zheng opened her eyes wide, shocked. "You mean, you can't live without a woman?"
Kang Rui was overwhelmed. Didn't she understand what he was saying? "What nonsense are you talking about? Men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. We men work outside and women take care of the home. This is the right way."
Yun Zheng looked at these students who had not yet entered officialdom. She felt ambitious, proud and conceited.
"What are you doing? How much money do you make? What high position do you hold? Tell me about it."
One student glared at her and puffed out his chest proudly, "We are students of the Imperial College."
Being a student of the highest institution of learning is an honor in itself.
Yun Zheng shouted exaggeratedly, "What? You haven't become an official yet? Oh my god, how can you be so useless? I'm only seventeen years old, and I'm already a fifth-rank official."
She pointed at her official uniform and said proudly, "Look, this is a fifth-rank official uniform. Have you seen it before?"
When it comes to making people angry, she is an expert.
The students present were so angry that they were shaking all over, their faces flushed, and they were beating their chests and stamping their feet.
Kang Rui frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Don't blame him! She asked for it!
