The Goryeo envoys came here with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, they knew in their hearts that the so-called tribute they offered every year was not as much as the rewards given by the Zhou Dynasty.

After learning that the Zhou Dynasty was willing to bring [-] literati and [-] cavalry for support, the Goryeo envoy was grateful and wished to set off immediately.

"My ministers will report to the king of Ming Dynasty, and let the king post the king's list to announce the territory of Goryeo." After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's request, the envoy agreed without thinking. It's dangerous!

"That's very good. I will lend you these 3000 people first, so that the Dongying people will not be able to return to their carbine in a few days." Zhou Xingzhi said, feeling a little bored after seeing the respectful Korean envoy.

If she were the king of Goryeo, she would definitely not agree to these demands. She would rather bring her soldiers into battle to kill the enemy. As long as she guards for long enough, the Japanese will naturally retreat due to lack of supplies.

After dealing with the matter of the Korean envoy, Zhou Xingzhi will continue to pinch his nose and go to court.After all, she was the one who asked Ye Ningxuan to replace her for three days. Now that the time is up, she has to go back, otherwise those ministers will continue to make trouble.

After seeing that the person who came to court was Zhou Xingzhi, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not." After Zhou Xingzhi announced the relevant rewards, the Minister of Rites stood up with a serious face, and directly raised his head to meet Zhou Xingzhi's eyes.

If you don't know, then don't tell me.Zhou Xingzhi complained in his heart, with a warm smile still on his face, "Just say what Shangshu wants to say."

"Although your majesty is still young, more than a year has passed since your majesty's wedding. It's time to consider the issue of heirs." The Minister of Rites said sternly, "It is reasonable to say that heirs should be your majesty's private affairs, but your majesty is For the king of a country, the family affairs of the king can be regarded as state affairs.”

Minister of the Ministry of Rites came here with full preparations this time, and after a start, he began to cite scriptures to persuade Zhou Xingzhi to consider the issue of heirs earlier.He even hinted that Zhou Xingzhi could draft the draft early. If she doesn't like those people in the harem, the Ministry of Rites can completely decide to start the draft at the beginning of next year.

"I understand the meaning of Master Shangshu, but I always follow the fate of children and so on. If there is one, there will be one, and if there is one, there will be none." Zhou Xingzhi said, this time her response was more gentle.

After all, the attitude of the Minister of Rites this time is considered very good, and he said everything that should be said and should not be said.He alone took up all the good and bad words, and Zhou Xingzhi couldn't find any reason to get angry.

"I don't have any plans to go on a personal conquest recently, so Lord Shangshu doesn't have to worry about any accidents for me." Zhou Xingzhi smiled as he spoke, "However, Lord Shangshu, I have encountered a troublesome thing recently and need Lord Shangshu's help."

"Your Majesty, please say that I will do my best to solve your majesty's worries." The Minister of Rites also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Xingzhi's answer. He was ready to be punished when he spoke. The attitude is much better than what I thought. It must be that after the imperial conquest, His Majesty himself realized the importance of heirs.

"I have met many outstanding people on the road, and I have also seen people who supported a family with their own strength at the border." Zhou Xingzhi said and paused, "Half of these people are men, and the rest are men. Women. Sometimes I wonder if women are allowed to take part in the imperial examinations and serve as officials, will I have twice the number of talents in my hands."

After Zhou Xingzhi finished speaking, he only stayed for a short breath, and then he continued, "So I plan to hold an examination similar to the imperial examination for women, starting from various townships and counties, passing the examination again and again to recruit talented women who are willing to become officials. Choose □□.”

"I don't plan to set any conditions for the exam this time. As long as you are in good health and have no criminal record, you can take the exam. As for the exam questions, I plan to write the questions myself, and the guards will escort you to the place when the time comes."

Zhou Xingzhi said that she needed the Minister of Rites to help her solve this problem, but before the Minister of Rites spoke, she had already stated most of her arrangements.

"Master Shangshu, I wonder if you have any good method to make my idea a reality earlier." After Zhou Xingzhi finished what she had to say, she smiled and looked at the Minister of Rites.

Minister of Rites: ... If God gives him another chance, he will definitely not pick today to make a statement, nor will he exaggerate and agree without thinking.

"Your Majesty, I have a small idea. I wonder if I can help His Majesty and Lord Shangshu." After all the officials fell silent due to shock, Liu Qi stood up and said.

"Liu Aiqing, just say what you think." Seeing Liu Qi stand up, the smile on Zhou Xingzhi's face grew wider. The promotion of Liu Qi can be said to be one of the most correct decisions she has ever made.

Although his talent was not as good as Han Shuo and Luo Zhishang's, he couldn't hold back Liu Qi's eloquence, and he could understand his own meaning, and he could point and hit.

Of course, although Zhou Xingzhi likes to use Liu Qi now, she has not forgotten that Han Shuo and Luo Zhishang, who she selected, are the number one and the second. After staying in Hanlin for three months, they were arranged by Zhou Xingzhi to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites Go, just wait to do something to get promoted.

"I believe that this selection method can be based on the imperial examination, so that the occasion of the examination and the candidates for the local examiner do not need to bother to choose." Liu Qi said, "Of course, the difference between women and men needs to be considered. The government wants to give them some preferential treatment, and I suggest that His Majesty can set up a special organization to manage matters related to the selection of women's exams."

Liu Qi didn't seem to say anything useful, but he unconsciously regarded the women's selection examination as an established fact, and had no intention of further questioning the courtiers.

"What Liu Aiqing said makes some sense. I think some wives who have imperial orders can come forward." Zhou Xingzhi also answered quickly, and looked at the Minister of Rites, "Aiqing, I remember that your wife is a first-rank imperial order, right? How about letting your lady and the empress dowager take the lead in this matter?"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites: ...Your Majesty, you didn't say anything, why did you jump on the candidate?Did you ever give me a chance to say no?

"Your Majesty, whether it is the Imperial College or the local colleges, there are many aspiring men who want to serve the country and serve His Majesty. I feel that there is no need to specifically select women." react to.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are still many unemployed Juren in the country. If Your Majesty lacks talents, you can choose from them."

"My minister seconded that if we want to conduct examinations and select women, it will be a big project, and if unmarried women show up in public, their reputation will be hindered."

"The minister also agrees, if it is a woman who has already married, it will be even more inappropriate. If they take the exam, who will take care of the family..."
