After two days, Qin Zheng not only prepared to go to the court to announce the appointment of Lu Pheasant as an official, but also prepared to take her to the palace in person. Lu Pheasant was arranged by Qin Zheng to wear a special small official uniform with black silk and red moire patterns, and asked her to change into it.

She didn't expect Qin Zheng to even prepare official clothes for herself, no wonder she was summoned to the palace early in the morning. It's just that the color of this dress is really not very aesthetic with her, but in order to have a place in the previous dynasty, Ren Ren still changed her clothes in the side hall by the palace maid.

Qin Zheng and the others were in the hall, and when they saw Lu Pheasant's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Pheasant who had changed his clothes, his hair was simply tied behind his head, and there were no ornaments on his head before he was even older. Revealing a full heavenly court, bright eyes, a small but erect nose, and cherry-red lips. It's really a complete beauty embryo, I've been listening to her advice before, and occasionally changing clothes makes him amazed.

When he came out, he found that Qin Zheng was staring at his eyes, and Lu Pheasant pulled his robe and asked a little uneasily, "But what's wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's a perfect match for you in this garment. It's not too early, just go with me. Qin Zheng saw Lu Pheasant's nervous appearance, smiled and comforted her.

The two of them walked around the front hall from the apse of the court hall one after the other, and the courtiers who knelt under them were still a little puzzled when they saw Qin Zheng personally taking a girl to the palace. The girl was dressed in a black silk robe embroidered with red auspicious clouds, simple and elegant. She did not flinch under the gaze of the minister, and sat down on the seat next to Lang Zhongling.

Qin Zheng didn't wait for his subordinates to ask questions, and preemptively opened his mouth to introduce them: "This is what the widow said before, the biggest hero of the two countries, the pheasant, will be the speaker in the future." Do you have any opinions? ”

Wang Xuan, who was sitting in the forefront, frowned tightly, he was the master that Lü Buwei gave to Qin Zheng, and he quickly turned to King Qin before Lü Buwei lost power, so at this time, he was also a high power, only one step away from the phase. He stroked his beard and stared at the little girl opposite, took a breath, pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what merit this woman has to deserve such a reward from the king?" ”

"Weichen once said that Longyang, Wei Wangzeng, and Neishi Teng descended to Qin, I don't know if this is enough?" Lu Pheasant smiled slightly, and told the suspicious courtiers what he had said.

As early as when King Qin brought Lu Pheasant in, Ne Shi Teng probably realized what was going to happen today, and originally this matter should not have been judged by him, after all, he was just a subordinate. It's just that Lu Pheasant is a benefactor who helped him avoid the suffering of the war in Nanyang, and helped him introduce himself to the King of Qin, so he can't sit idly by and ignore it.

"Your Majesty can testify for Lu Yilang, who once personally said that I surrendered to Qin when I was in Han, and I surrendered to the king after careful consideration. Lu Yilang contributed a lot. Ne Shi Teng not only spoke uprightly, but also bowed to Lu Pheasant.

She smiled and replied to Nei Shi Teng, thinking that there were several ministers in the court who were recommended by themselves and stared at Wang Juan and said: "Weichen has recommended talents for the king, Nei Shi, Guowei, and Gongzi are not all recommended by me." Dare to ask if Wang Qing's merits are enough to be a speaker? ”

Wang Juan's face was already very ugly, he thought he was just a nobody, but he didn't want to be really meritorious. He has been an official for nearly ten years, and he has seen many young and frivolous people, and the current person is not arrogant or impatient, it is really a material to be made, except for her......

"Your Majesty! If women ask the king for official positions, can the women of the country still work in the farm with peace of mind? Can you still give birth to children for your husband and host the middle feed? Can you still honor your parents and serve your in-laws? Wang Juan directly nailed the focus to Lu Pheasant's woman, and some courtiers around Wang Juan also echoed.

"Your Majesty! Since ancient times, I have never heard that women can participate in politics in the court, and I hope that the king will think twice? An official at the end of the line righteously opposed Lu Pheasant.

Qin Zheng glanced at Lu Pheasant, who was sitting unmoved, and was about to speak, when he found that Lu Pheasant shook his head lightly at him, and the words on his lips changed: "If anyone else has an opinion, just put it forward together!" ”

It seemed that Lu Pheasant was confident and didn't need Qin Zheng's help at all, and his hand on the table was clenched into a fist, looking forward to what kind of words she would use to refute these old ministers.

Another person opened his mouth and said: "The previous dynasty was all men, and a woman in the palace is easy to distract the ministers, which is not conducive to the progress of the court." ”

"Your Majesty! Wechen was very pleased. Lu Pheasant didn't seem to be disturbed by the sound of reproach at all, and said to Qin Zheng with a chuckle.

"I don't know what happy things Aiqing has? Could it be that Aiqing has never heard the widow and courtier reproach you? Qin Zheng took over the topic at this time and asked Lu Pheasant to calmly play his eloquence.

"The ministers are irrefutable about the merits of Wechen, and they have to target the body of Wechen's woman, and they all admire Wechen's little credit." Lu Pheasant smiled and glanced at the people who had spoken out against her appointment, and then said, "There are so many voices of opposition, but it is difficult for me to figure it out for a while. Let's first solve Wang Qing's doubts:

Most of the men in the world plough the acres, and there are not many peasant children above the court, since the peasant children have never been on the court, I don't know why Wang Qing is so worried about the peasant women on the court?

Giving birth to children and presiding over the middle feed, not to mention men, but where there is a wife, there must be a concubine, who has no children in the palace? The power of stewardship has always been presided over by the head of the family, when is it the wife's turn to work? Weichen got the king to pull out the countryside, and the rank was more than 600 stones. With this income, how many subordinate concubines can be rented and redeemed to serve relatives?

As for what another courtier said, if he said that he could not concentrate on the court, he would not have no self-control? I'm afraid that I can go down and often go in and out of the women's house? ”

Taking advantage of Lu Pheasant's time to breathe a sigh of relief, the courtier who had opened his mouth was criticized: "This has never heard of a woman entering the court, since there has been no one since ancient times, why do you still forcibly compete with men?" ”

"Wait! All the courtiers here, don't you know the origin of Qin when you serve the king of Qin? The ancestors of the Qin people are the descendants of the grandson of the Yellow Emperor after the Yellow Emperor, and there is a Shang generation after the son of the king of the Shang Dynasty, and the women enter and leave the court, lead the troops to fight, and sacrifice for the country, which is not difficult. Why is it that in your mouth it has not been since ancient times?

Moreover, since Shang Jun said, 'If the world is not ruled together, the country will be lawless', and now Weichen is among the palace with a small body, why not? Weichen made merit for Qin, recommended talents, and the king rewarded the merit and allowed Weichen to occupy a place, I don't know what else you have to say? ”

When the man heard that Lu Pheasant had to refute and didn't dare to speak again, he looked at Wang Juan and didn't know if he still had a place to refute her.

"The king may not know about the old affairs of the Empress Dowager Xuan? In the past, the Empress Dowager Xuan came to the court as the Empress Dowager, and the country only knew the Empress Dowager but not King Zhaoxiang. The names of the four nobles are well known to everyone in the country. King Zhaoxiang forbade the Queen Mother to be in the harem, and the four were more expensive than the fief, and the court was placed as the honor of King Zhaoxiang. Please think twice? Wang Wan brought up the old story of Qin's mother's and son's struggle for power with a straight face, thinking that this could alert the King of Qin, who was bent on going his own way.

The courtiers discussed a lot, and some of the elderly courtiers still remembered the heroic posture when the Empress Dowager Xuan was in power, but unfortunately the court was a man after all, and even the mother and son could not avoid fighting for power. It's just that Wang Juan's trick to confuse the key point may not make a contribution.

Lu Pheasant heard that such an assertion was really ridiculous, she laughed a few times and then asked Wang Juan: "Now that the king's mother is still there, and the Queen Mother of Huayang is also here, how can I compare with the Queen Mother Xuan?" Besides, how does the Weichen District Council control the government? There are loyal ministers who think about the king so much, why are you afraid of me as a child? ”

Wang Xuan's face changed drastically, he didn't want to be a mere child who was well versed in the skills of famous artists, and his arguments followed closely and the arguments were clear and organized. This was another defeat in the court since the last time he spoke for the nobles in Guannei and suggested the expulsion of guests, and Qin Zheng's face became more and more uncertain. He knew that he had to be soft this time, and he had just said something to Zhang Kou, but he was caught by Li Si, who had been secretly observing for a long time.

"Your Majesty! Zi Yilang once went on an envoy with me, and his outstanding ability to make contributions to the country must be rewarded, but now the position of Yilang has wronged her, and the king will show justice if he has the opportunity to promote him again. Meritorious service is not rewarded, and there is no punishment for fear of losing the hearts of the subjects, and there is also the root of illegal governance. Li Si's words were conclusive, and he was completely thinking about the rule of law for the sake of King Qin, which attracted the approval of many young ministers.

After all, it is these young Zhuang factions who are most worried about not being able to reward their merits, they are the future pillars of the DPRK and China, and sooner or later they will sit in the front positions with their merits.

Li Si jumped out to support Lu Pheasant before the general trend was decided, but in fact, he just figured out Qin Zheng's thoughts. If Qin Zheng hadn't made a decision, where would Lu Pheasant go to get a set of official uniforms? Before he spoke up, he also weighed the pros and cons to suppress his unhappiness when he saw Lu Pheasant going to the palace, and planned to continue to befriend each other in the future.

"Why doesn't the lieutenant speak?" Qin Zheng looked at Wei Yi, who was silent on the side, frowned lightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Back to the king, the ministers recommended Zi Yilang for a short time, and they didn't understand the ministers in the court, so it was inconvenient to speak. Besides, it is inevitable that a courtier will be blamed, and now that Ziyilang is being blamed by the ministers, it is still commendable to be polite and courteous. Her Majesty thought she was fit for the job. Wei Yu's face was indifferent, but his words were full of appreciation for Lu Pheasant.

Qin Zheng smiled at Wei Yu with satisfaction, and then looked at the ministers under the court: "Zi Yilang is worthy of use, and in the future, he must not be blamed for the difference between men and women, can there be something to play today?"

Lu Pheasant, who returned from a big victory, gave his new official robe to Lezi, as well as his sister who was tinkering with wood at home, and won their praise. Chang Ji also stepped forward to take a closer look, and admired with a glint in her eyes: "Ah Mei's official uniform is really good-looking, and the engineer's clothes are ugly to death." ”

"Okay, Changji, the pheasant is also tired for a day, hurry up and go back to change clothes and prepare for dinner, I think it won't be a few days, and the pheasant's reputation will spread to the streets and alleys." Le Zi stretched the concubine, lest she damage Lu Pheasant's official robe. Thinking that his daughters are all so capable, I don't know whether they are happy or worried.

Things turned out as expected by Lezi, Lu Pheasant had to be made an official, and the good deeds in Xianyang City made up a song and sang: "Don't be happy to give birth to a man, don't worry about giving birth to a girl." The girl of the Lu family is better than the man. "What's more" The man fights for rations in the field, and the girl earns the whole family's food in the court. ”

From Xianyang to the border of the Qin Kingdom, how many women have been inspired by these songs. All they need in this troubled world is a chance, and this day won't keep them waiting.
