Zhou Xingzhi didn't say anything, but kept a faint smile on his face, watching more and more officials who opposed it, and more and more people were discussing it.

After observing for a while, Zhou Xingzhi discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Among those who quarreled the most, there were no officials of the third rank or above, but basically people of the fifth rank or so who were doing practical things.

Could it be that I have recently cultivated my body and mind, so I have an illusion that as long as they push these people out, I won't be able to handle it all at once?

"Is there anyone who wants to oppose my policy?" Zhou Xingzhi said, her voice was not heavy, but when she spoke, the hall suddenly fell silent, so quiet that only her voice was left.

"Your Majesty, I think..." After a brief silence, a fifth-rank rite doctor stepped forward.

"Come on, drag it down." Zhou Xingzhi didn't say anything to him, and directly called the guards, took off his hat, gagged his mouth, and dragged him down.

After the guards left, the courtiers became quieter, and even the sound of breathing became much lighter.

If it is now when Zhou Xingzhi is just in charge, the ministers may not accept her tricks. Even if one person is pulled down, more people will stand up and say that they are sure that Zhou Xingzhi does not have the courage to drag everyone who speaks out. go down.

But now there is no such thing, all the officials in the hall know that Zhou Xingzhi is not soft-tempered, knowing that after she has made up her mind, she will not be easily swayed by the courtiers.

Since the first censor was dragged out and beheaded, Zhou Xingzhi has been deliberately creating his own external image.She would not have any objection to the advice that really started from the people's livelihood and from the common people, even if it sounded a little harsh.

But if she stands up against her for her own or the interests of some people, she will never be soft on her hands. When she is in a good mood, the punishment will be lighter. If she is in a bad mood, some people will lose their official positions Those who die will die.

"Do you have any comments on my decision?" Zhou Xingzhi still had a faint smile on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.

None of the officials in the main hall dared to meet Zhou Xingzhi's gaze, and they all lowered their heads in silence, not wanting to be a chicken that was killed to warn others.

Zhou Xingzhi chuckled, "Since you love ministers have no objections, let's make arrangements as I just said. Minister of the Ministry of Rites, I will leave this matter to you, okay?"

The minister of the Ministry of Rites who was named came out silently, "I obey the order." Regret, the person concerned regretted it very much, he knew this would be the result, so he didn't say a word this morning.

After Zhou Xingzhi arranged things in the morning, Ye Ningxuan also received the news almost simultaneously.

"Now we don't have many people who can use it. If the decree is promulgated in the local area, will there be people who will obey it?" When Zhou Xingzhi came back from the court, Ye Ningxuan was still helping Zhou Xingzhi with the memorial in the imperial study.

"It's not urgent, let the guards supervise and implement it." Zhou Xingzhi said, "It can be regarded as a paid vacation in disguise, and they should be quite happy."

Ye Ningxuan seriously considered this method, "If this is the case, the leader must have no prejudice against women."

"If it's with our personal guards, I guess they don't have any prejudice against women." Zhou Xingzhi touched his chin and said, after all, when he was out, he directly handed over many things to Ye Ningxuan.In the eyes of the guards, Ye Ningxuan has long been another master who needs to serve.

"This matter is not in a hurry. If I guess correctly, although the Minister of Rites has agreed, it will definitely take a lot of time to draw up some not very important regulations." Ye Ningxuan couldn't help sighing, "Xing Zhi , once this decree is released to the public, there must be many scholars who have opinions on you."

"So what if you have opinions, and they don't dare to say anything about me." Zhou Xingzhi didn't care about this. If he wanted to take part in the imperial examination, he needed a clean identity. up.

After all, she is also an emperor, there is no need for an ordinary person who has no fame to care about her.

"I think it's Ning Xuan who needs to be worried. Many ministers think that it's your idea to choose women to be officials." Zhou Xingzhi said, "If I'm not wrong, Prime Minister Ye is probably going to be very busy today. There will definitely be a bunch of people wanting to meet him."

Zhou Xingzhi's guess was correct, as soon as she left, Prime Minister Ye was surrounded by officials.

"Prime Minister, you have to persuade Your Majesty, if this kind of thing starts, Dazhou will be messed up." Among the six ministries, the people in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are the most anxious. Once a woman is agreed to serve as an official , the first to receive the impact must be these two places.

Prime Minister Ye also sighed, "Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind, it's not like I'll change his mind after a few words of persuasion."

"Why don't the prime minister pay a visit to the Empress Dowager, and let the Empress Empress persuade Her Majesty?" An official from the Ministry of Officials came up with a bad idea.

"Prime Minister, is this matter really His Majesty's idea? Could it be that the Empress has it..." An official who didn't deal with Ye Cheng very much said, with a suspicious tone, "During the court today, Ye Chengxiang They seldom express their opinions, the prime minister must have known about this a long time ago, right?"

"I don't know about this matter." After hearing this, Ye Chengxiang's face was not very good-looking, "Your Majesty has decreed that there is no possibility of changing this matter. Instead of complaining here, it is better to advance Turn your eyes to your own home."

Prime Minister Ye said sternly, "When it comes to talent and learning, ordinary people don't have the talent and learning of the sons and daughters we raise. Since sons can be promising, then daughters can also be promising, right?"

After hearing Prime Minister Ye's words, several ministers with daughters at home couldn't help but feel moved. In this way, it seems that they can also benefit from it.

Of course, such emotions only lasted for a short moment, and the idea of ​​letting their daughter go out to show their faces flashed through their minds.
