Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"I-I'm official..." Mr. Yan felt Prince Rui's gaze on the back of his head, his spine felt chilly and his head broke out in cold sweat.

He is indeed more selfish and does not want women to enter the officialdom, but...

Master Yan lowered his upper body lower, "Your Majesty, although the lower officials have selfish motives, they do also think about the overall situation. If a woman enters the officialdom, Liangzhou's literati will definitely criticize her with words and writing, which will be a great disadvantage to the Prince's recruitment of talents, Your Majesty!"

"How does Mr. Yan know that I am not the talent that the prince needs?"

Master Yan raised his head slightly and glared at Cheng Wan who had just spoken. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard Prince Rui's low chuckle.

He closed his eyes, knowing in his heart that no matter how much he objected today, with this person supporting him, Cheng Wan's entry into the officialdom was almost certain.

After all, who dares to stand up to this guy?

The skirmishing threat just doesn't work here.

"Sima, when everyone is here, please don't let me down."

Lord Yan kowtowed and said in a harsh voice, "I'll take your orders!"

"Get up, it's time for them to arrive."

After saying that, King Rui returned to the main seat and sat down.

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Yan got up from the ground and sat down to drink a cup of tea to calm down his shock, there were rapid footsteps outside the hall.

The heads of the Sixth Division came together. After they came in, they greeted Prince Rui and Mu Yao respectfully, and then at Chang Fu's signal, they each tasted a piece of sweet potato.

King Rui glanced at Lord Yan, who coughed and acted like King Rui just now. He first asked the six bosses how the sweet potatoes tasted, and then told them the yield per mu of sweet potatoes. Finally, the six bosses With an almost crazy look in his eyes, the manager pointed out Cheng Wan's contribution.

"The king has decided that, in view of Cheng Wan's two great contributions to the Quyuan plow and sweet potato, I will grant Cheng Wan the rank of Ninth Grade Conggong of Xingnong Yamen."

The head of the Sixth Division, who had been smiling brightly just now, praising Cheng Wan for his great kindness and Prince Rui's help from heaven, suddenly seemed to have his soul sucked out, and he froze in place and forgot to react.

Sihu tugged on his gray beard, "Ouch!"

The next moment, all the heads of the six divisions bowed their heads and raised their hands, saying in a sincere tone: "Please take back your life, Your Majesty!"

Master Yan took a deep breath, it was time for him to show off.

"Everyone, is it possible that the merits of Quyuanli and Sweet Potato are not enough to be replaced by a ninth-grade Sesame Officer?"

The clerk glared at Master Yan and said loudly: "Master Yan, Cheng Wan is a woman, how can a woman be an official?!"

"What's wrong with the woman? Is it possible that Master Si Li was born by a man?"

"You...you! Yan Mu! You are simply arrogant!"

"Ha." Yan Mu smiled sarcastically, "What's the problem with what I said? When I had nothing to say, I said that I was arrogant, and I even said you were being unreasonable! Also, I am your superior, you use By pointing your finger at me, could it be that you want to commit the following crime?!"

"You!" Si Li put down his arms angrily and turned to Prince Rui, "Your Majesty, only men have been officials in the past, and women have never been officials!"

Yan Mu: "Since Cheng Wan became an official, wouldn't it be possible for women to become officials?"

Si Bing: "Your Majesty, if a woman becomes an official, it will definitely cause turmoil. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Yan Mu: "Your Majesty has the plow and sweet potatoes in hand, so the people can return to their homes and there will be no trouble!"

After saying that, Yan Mu looked at Prince Rui's expression carefully, feeling a little panicked after using what Prince Rui said.

King Rui turned his finger and gave Yan Mu an affirmative look.

Yan Mu straightened his chest and felt full of strength.

Several bosses listed the reasons why women cannot be officials one by one, such as: "It is not appropriate for women to appear in public", "Women will eventually get married, and being an official will affect women's marriage", "It is inconvenient for women to be officials. "Can't be gregarious", "Let the world laugh at you"...

Yan Mu seemed to have been beaten to death, and his words to refute the head of the Sixth Division became more and more smooth. One against six, he was not at a disadvantage at all.

"Women can also walk out of the courtyard! Enter the officialdom! Women can also be officials! Please serve the people! Everyone, you are too narrow-minded!"

Listening to this, if Cheng Wan had been here watching and listening from beginning to end, she would have almost thought that Yan Mu had been taken over by modern people.

Cheng Wan silently poured a cup of tea and leaned close to Yan Mu, who had his hands on his hips. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan. Let's drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

The old man started to fight with his colleagues because of her. She had unilaterally stopped arguing with the old man because of the unexpected unpleasantness.

Yan Mu glanced at Cheng Wan, who was smiling like a flower. In fact, he just said the words without thinking.

He didn't know if he had convinced the other six colleagues, but he was almost convinced by himself anyway.

"Hmph." Yan Mu took the tea cup handed to him by Cheng Wan and drank it all in one gulp.

He was really thirsty.

Gu Yan came over with the teapot and silently refilled the tea for Yan Mu.

The six principals opposite looked at the harmonious scene in front of them and became even more angry.

They are thirsty too!

How come no one offers them a cup of tea? !

Prince Rui, who was sitting on the throne, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his eyes full of smiles.

Sihu took a deep breath to calm down, then faced Prince Rui and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Guan Cheng is only fourteen or fifteen years old. She has not passed the scientific examination before. Excluding the identity of the woman, she is a man of fourteen." It is absolutely impossible for someone who is five years old and has no fame to enter the officialdom." Sihu took a step forward, bowed and continued: "An official needs to have real talent and practical knowledge to be a good official. Miss Cheng... ..."

Sihu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please think again."

Yan Mu was about to start complaining, but Cheng Wan stopped him.

Cheng Wan walked to Si Hu, also faced Prince Rui and cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, please say a few words to Rong Min's daughter."

King Rui nodded.

Cheng Wan looked around at the six principals with a calm voice and sincere eyes.

"My lords, if I am not qualified for the official position assigned to me by the prince in the future, I will resign on my own initiative and will never remain in my position. You can all supervise me."

"To take a step back, I donated the Quyuan plow before, and now I have donated the sweet potatoes. How do you know that I can't donate other good things in the future?"

Just a few words, Cheng Wan said nothing more.

Yan Mu had already explained the other points in her rebuttal, and there was no need for her to repeat them.

Cheng Wan will use facts to prove to them that she, Cheng Wan, can be a good official.

Prince Rui stood up and said with finality: "This matter is settled. From now on, Cheng Wan will serve as the ninth-rank minister of Xingnong Yamen."

Prince Rui's voice was cold and calm, without any emotion, but Cheng Wan's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely not let you down!"

Cheng Wan knelt down to Prince Rui neatly and kowtowed to him.

"Get up."

Cheng Wan got up from the ground, a bright and confident smile blooming on her flawless face.

The corners of Gu Yan's lips curled up. He was sincerely happy for Cheng Wan.

Yan Mu sighed and thought to himself: "I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

The heads of the Sixth Division lowered their heads. They were still unwilling to give up, but it was hard to explain that they could not force King Rui to take back his life at the cost of death. King Rui would really let them die. They had not lived enough.

The six people advised themselves to be content. At least King Rui did not give the order directly and gave them the opportunity to express their objections.

"Secretary, please immediately order someone to make Cheng Wan's letter of appointment and dental plaque."

"Master of Ceremony, please immediately send someone to deliver two sets of official uniforms."

"Sihu, please notify the Xingnong Yamen Office that Cheng Wan will be on duty on the 20th of this month."

"Okay, you seven, please step back."

Yan Mu and the head of the Sixth Division bowed and retreated.

Only King Rui, Mu Yao, Gu Yan, Cheng Wan and Chang Fu were left in the hall.

Prince Rui looked at Cheng Wan's happy expression and said with unclear meaning: "You are happy too soon."

"Cheng Wan, I have blocked the apparent resistance for you, but if someone tries to trick you, I will not interfere. Whether you can withstand the pressure and achieve what you want depends on you. Own."
