After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

It was October 15th, the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.

Sunny and cloudy.

According to historical records, Liu Ji, a Jinshi from Kaiyang County, Zijing Prefecture, led 90,000 people in Kyoto to take to the streets to petition the Queen to ascend the throne.

Later, the princess of the town, envoys from various countries, and officials of the dynasty accompanied her.

More than 100,000 people from half the city of Kyoto gathered under the palace walls, led by Liu Ji, a Jinshi from Kaiyang County, and prayed in unison for the Queen to ascend to the throne.

When the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty came upon hearing the news, he humbled himself and became a virtuous king, taking the Zen position with the Heavenly Holy Mother and Empress.

The Queen of Heaven made three concessions and could not bear to go against the wishes of the people of the prosperous country.

Therefore, on the first day of the eleventh lunar month, an altar was set up to worship heaven, a yellow robe was added to his body, and he was enthroned as emperor.

He was named Emperor Ziwei and the country's name was changed to Cangxu.

In December of the first year of Cangxu.

It was the middle of winter, and Emperor Ziwei issued several new orders one after another.

One is to change the old system of succession to the throne.

From now on, if the husband dies and the wife succeeds, if the emperor has no wife, the children will inherit according to the order of eldest and youngest.

Second, open a female department.

From now on, all citizens of the Sheng Kingdom, regardless of gender, who have not committed any crime or have committed any crime, can take part in the imperial examination and become officials in the dynasty.

Thirdly, the king of Xian was given the title of 2,000 households and the residence of the king of Xian was built.

The fourth and final decree.

The eldest princess is both virtuous and virtuous, and is both civil and military. She has also made great military exploits for the Sheng Kingdom, and is a great contributor to the founding of the Sheng Kingdom.

In line with the wishes of the people, hundreds of officials have jointly requested that the eldest princess be crowned prince and the consort be crowned prince's husband.

Ziwei Diyun.

He resigned and lived in the East Palace, and named the prince and the prince's husband's second son Baili Mao as the emperor's grandson.

Emperor Ziwei's decree was spread one after another, and the people in Kyoto were all excited and excited when they heard it.

"Master, Master!"

Yin Le shouted happily and rushed into the house through the snow.

Before he entered the main hall and saw the principal, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Women can also take the imperial examination!"

Qin Yao, who was warming herself by the fire in the hall and was drowsy, opened her eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew up, and the door curtain was lifted. A blushing Yin Le ran in and picked up Si Niang, who was sleeping soundly beside her.

"Siniang, you must study hard to gain fame in the future. Senior sister will be counting on you from now on!" Yin Le said excitedly.

Si Niang was suddenly shaken awake, and she was still a little confused.

After pausing for a moment, he grinned innocently and said, "Senior Sister Le, am I dreaming? In the dream, women can take the imperial examination?"

Yin Le couldn't help but smile bitterly, and flicked the little girl's forehead, "Wake up, wake up, what I said is true, not a dream. With the new policy just promulgated, women will be able to take the imperial examination and become female officials in the court!"

Siniang finally came to her senses. She stood up with an exclamation of "Ah!" and confirmed again in disbelief: "Senior Sister Le, don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you." Yin Le raised his hand and pointed to the street outside the door, "The notice just posted is at the Fangshi archway. If you don't believe me, senior sister will take you to see it."

Siniang nodded immediately and said she wanted to go see it.

Yin Le pulled her and was about to go out.

Qin Yao coughed twice, and then the two sisters realized that the head of the family was still here, laughing sarcastically.

"Let's go together." Qin Yao lifted the thin quilt on her knees, stood up and said with a smile.

Awang, Erlang, and Sanlang, who rushed to the main hall after hearing the sound, quickly followed.

Liu Ji is not here.

He was summoned to the palace early in the morning, and he didn't know what Xu Wenqing was going to do to him.

But Qin Yao guessed that she wanted to thank the person who built the stage for Xu Wenqing's ascension to the throne.

The family came to the Fangshi archway, and there was already a circle of people on the notice board who came to join in the fun.

Ngawang Yinle cleared the way, and with three little ones, he managed to squeeze to the front.

Si Niang was short, so she stretched out her hand to let Uncle Awang pick her up.

Sanlang also acted coquettishly and wanted to hug him, but unfortunately Erlang sneered him back.

But after all, he is his biological brother, and he has to be pampered no matter how stupid he is.

Erlang propped his feet and read it out to the anxious Sanlang.

Sure enough, as Yin Le said, both men and women can take part in the imperial examination in the future.

And there is another thing that Yin Le didn't mention.

The prince changed the women's academy into an official women's academy. In the future, female students who belong to the women's academy and who perform well in school can be promoted to official positions.

"Female Academy?" Sanlang murmured, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he pulled Erlang's sleeves excitedly and asked:

"Second brother, fourth mother, is it, is it not?"

Erlang laughed: "Why are you still stuttering? Yes, the Women's Garden where Si Niang is located is the official girls' school on the notice."

Sanlang nodded repeatedly. He just wanted to say this, and his second brother understood him.

"Then Si Niang will become an official in the future?" Awang asked in surprise.

Erlang nodded, "If according to the notice, Si Niang is in the Women's Garden, as long as she performs well, she can be promoted to a female officer as an exception."

Yin Le was overjoyed and emerged from the crowd with the children, grabbed Qin Yao's hand and said happily:

"Master, that's great, that's great!"

If she were ten years younger, she would definitely study hard, take the imperial examination, and become a female official.

"A-niang." Siniang hugged Qin Yao's arm and said longingly: "I want to be a female security guard in the future! Get rid of corrupt officials in the world and plead for the people."

Qin Yao squeezed the little girl's face with relief, whether it was from the cold or excitement, "Okay, I believe that Si Niang will get what she wants."

Qin Yao raised her eyes and looked at the announcement. It was clearly written in black and white.

Xu Wenqing, you are great!

The other party seemed to hear Qin Yao's thoughts.

The family returned home happily and just stepped through the door.

On the back foot, a group of palace people came on horseback holding high the imperial edict.

Just in time, it stopped in front of Qin Yao's house.

The leading female official shouted: "The Liu family, please accept the decree!"

Qin Yao and the others looked at each other, surprised and happy.

This was the first time they had experienced such a thing in their lives, and they didn't know what to do.

Awang was still knowledgeable, and he hurriedly moved the incense table, put fresh fruits and incense burners on it, and knelt down first to demonstrate.

Yin Le hurriedly led the children to kneel down respectfully.

When it was Qin Yao's turn, the leading female official hurriedly added: "Your Majesty has spoken, Qin Yao can just stand and listen to the decree."

Qin Yao nodded, stood in front, and smiled politely at the beautiful female official.

The female official with a serious expression actually responded to her, nodded slightly, and began to read the imperial decree.

Qin Yao's ears filtered out those flowery prefixes and only listened to the key points.

".Liu Ji was appointed as the director of the Imperial City Department, in charge of the palace ban, the guards around the palace, and the intelligence, and he received the salary of the fifth rank."

"Liu Ji's wife Qin Yao was appointed as the fifth rank county lady, and was given a mansion of the Duke of Qianwei in the east of the city, four glass cups, 100 pieces of silk and satin, a set of court clothes for women, a pearl, a jade belt, and a crown. In addition, there was an imperial farm, 5,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, 500 kilograms of pearl rice, five Tuluo gems, and a bucket of white jade pearls from the North Sea."

It was obviously Liu Ji who was appointed, but all the good things were given to his wife.

And the number of rewards and their value were so generous that it was simply astonishing.

Those who didn't know would think that it was not a county lady, but a princess.

Even the princesses of this prosperous dynasty did not have so many rewards.

The female official read for two quarters of an hour in one breath before reading the last reward.

Perhaps because she took too long to breathe, after reading the series of rewards, the female official began to breathe rapidly and took several deep breaths before she recovered. (End of this chapter)
