Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss
Chapter 16 The Real Gold Heroine Who Was Counterattacked 16
The Queen Mother was somewhat tempted by Su Xing's proposal, but after thinking it over carefully, she shook her head: "It is as difficult for women to serve as officials as it is for me to become emperor. They simply don't have the opportunity to enter the court."
Su Xing smiled and said, "This is not difficult. We don't need to take a leap of faith and directly allow female officials to enter the court. First, select a group of talented women to enter the palace in the name of selecting female officials around the Queen Mother.
Then, let these female officials be responsible for some small matters and do some work in front of the emperor, so as to show the influence of the female officials on you in front of the officials, and let the officials who want to guess your thoughts, the Empress Dowager, take the initiative to please and contact these female officials.
In this way, female officials will be allowed to enter the court little by little and participate in political affairs. Then, Queen Dowager, you can come up with some good policies to enhance your prestige among the people and officials.
When the time is right, the Queen Mother will naturally take the next step, and the female officials will be able to follow you and officially enter the court."
The Queen Mother stared at Su Xing for a long while, then suddenly smiled: "Oh, then how can I improve my prestige among the people and officials?"
Su Xing immediately said, "Repair the river embankment. Since the previous dynasty, floods in the south have never stopped. This dynasty has been controlling floods and has ministers who are capable of doing so. Unfortunately, the treasury is short of money, so we have never been able to really let go and control the floods."
The Queen Mother thought of the floods that happened every year in the south and sighed: "Yes, this flood is indeed a major problem for our dynasty. Unfortunately, the national treasury has always been tight and we cannot let go of the flood control."
Su Xing: "I know of an island country that is rich in silver and gold mines. If we can conquer this island country, we will no longer have to worry about an empty treasury."
The Queen Mother stood up excitedly: "What you said is true!"
Su Xing said confidently, "Of course it's true." She took out a map from her sleeve and said, "I have a map of this island country, and it has the locations of the gold and silver mines on it."
Lingshi appeared, and the little kitten rolled over beside Suxing's hand adorably, meowing and boasting, "It's me. I found the map of the little life, and I also marked the location of the gold and silver mines."
The cute little appearance made Su Xing feel itchy and he wanted to touch it. With a thought, a bunch of snacks and toys fell into the system space.
Lingshi jumped up with an excited roar, rushed over, kissed Suxing's face, and then rushed back to the system space excitedly.
The Queen Mother, who could not see Ling Shi, was completely focused on the map of the island country. In particular, when she saw the gold and silver mines with huge output marked on them, her face turned red with excitement.
She slapped the table in front of her and laughed, "Great! God is blessing our Great Xia, sending us such a timely relief. I will send people to attack this island right away!"
Su Xing immediately bowed and said, "Queen Mother, to reach this island country, we need someone to lead the way. I beg you to be the guide."
In fact, Su Xing wanted to lead the troops to fight directly. Before she became a tasker, she was a flower grower. As a flower grower, there is no one who doesn't want the Little Rizi Kingdom to disappear from the world.
However, Su Xing knew that it was unrealistic for her to lead the troops directly. After all, it was an ancient time where men were superior to women. Men naturally looked down on women because of their flesh, let alone obeying women's management.
But it doesn’t matter. Su Xing will take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with the military camp and subdue these soldiers.
The military camp is a place where the strong are respected. Soldiers all want to leave the battlefield alive. A general who can bring them back alive is more likely to be recognized by them than a male general.
When it comes to life and death, the difference between men and women is no longer important. Everyone wants to survive. This is human nature.
In ancient times, most famous women were generals, poets and queen mothers.
Poets are judged by their talent, generals by their ability, and queen mothers by their convenient status; these are the easiest places to break through the restrictions between men and women.
Although a poet can become famous, he is just a poet. It is almost impossible for a female poet to touch power. Becoming a queen dowager is obviously not feasible. Although serving as a staff member for the queen dowager can also gain power, it is too slow.
Su Xing didn't want to take it slow, she wanted Mu Beixiao to get off the throne as soon as possible.
So at the beginning, Su Xing's idea was to gain the greatest power as quickly as possible by joining the army and making military achievements, and by giving advice to the empress dowager and assisting her in becoming emperor.
The Queen Mother had no objection to Su Xing's decision to lead the way. She had long known Su Xing's abilities and hoped that Su Xing could take this opportunity to seize military power.
The Queen Mother does not have many trusted generals, and none of them are top-level generals. She now urgently hopes to have a powerful general who can be used as a general.
The Queen Mother carefully considered for Su Xing: "Since you are going, you can't let others hinder you.
I am going to send General Wuwei to attack this island country. General Wuwei is good at naval warfare and is a third-rank official. I will appoint you as a second-rank female official and allow you to act at your discretion. "
General Wuwei Chang Ninghai was one of the few trusted military generals of the Queen Mother.
This man is not very good at fighting, but he knows how to obey people who are stronger than himself. The Queen Mother sent Chang Ninghai with the intention of making him listen to Su Xing.
Of course, the Queen Mother would not take the initiative to make Chang Ninghai obedient. She wanted Su Xing to subdue Chang Ninghai himself.
If she can't even subdue Chang Ninghai, then the Queen Mother will start to doubt whether her memories of her past life are true.
Su Xing bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you very much, Queen Mother."
The word "subject" meant that Su Xing had completely given up her identity as the empress dowager's daughter-in-law and would from then on be loyal to the empress dowager as a subject.
The Queen Mother did not mind Su Xing's dislike for her sons. After recalling her past life, the Queen Mother had no good feelings towards either of her sons. Now, these two sons combined could not compare to the importance of Su Xing in her heart.
The Queen Mother stood up and helped Su Xing up with her own hands: "I know your loyalty. I hope you can live up to my expectations and bring back good news."
Su Xing said solemnly: "I will not let down the Queen Mother's trust."
The Queen Mother held Su Xing's hand, pulled her to sit down, and said, "If we want to attack this island country, there must be a reason. I wonder if you have any ideas."
The word "My dear" meant that the Queen Mother acknowledged Su Xing's identity as a minister and no longer regarded her as her daughter-in-law.
Su Xing smiled and said, "This is simple. A merchant ship from Daxia went out to sea but disappeared on an island country. We suspected that they were harmed by the island people, so we sent troops to attack the island country to get an explanation."
This reason is frivolous and ridiculous, but it is enough to be used as a reason to start a war. After all, the invasion of the past was started with similar ridiculous reasons.
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement. Since they were already preparing for the invasion, all they had to do was find a reasonable excuse. Whether the excuse was reasonable or not was not important.
The Queen Mother said: "We need to inform several important officials in the court about this matter. Only with their support can we start the war."
The Queen Mother was not worried that the court officials would not agree, because that was all real gold and silver. Although the gold and silver brought back after winning the battle would definitely be turned into the national treasury, how much they could take in the process depended on their abilities.
After all, a big fat sheep was brought back, and it was tacitly agreed that everyone should share the benefits and eat the meat. As long as it was not excessive, the Queen Mother would turn a blind eye and not make a fuss.
