Qin Ming put down the paperwork in his hand and said, "Zixuan, if you have anything, if you say anything, if I can help, I will try my best to help you!" ”

Hearing this, Zixuan seemed to be very happy, and then spoke: "Mrs. Zhou's son likes me, and he went to my house today to propose marriage." Mrs. Zhou is a high-ranking and powerful person, and he is the emperor's teacher, and my father does not dare to offend, so he has to agree.

But I don't want to marry Mrs. Zhou's son, I have heard that Mrs. Zhou's son looks for flowers and willows all day long, as if he is still sick, I ...... Never marry him. ”

Qin Ming suddenly felt that his head was big when he heard this, it didn't seem that it was his turn to take care of this kind of thing, right?

He is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he is in charge of official affairs, and this kind of family affairs is really difficult to interfere in.

So he was embarrassed and said, "This ...... Zixuan, this is your family affair, I seem to be ...... It's not easy to meddle......"

Zi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But...... I...... Lord Qin, can you help me? I really don't want to get married. ”

"Why don't you go back and tell your parents with a resolute attitude that you don't want to marry, and talk to them about it." Qin Ming said.

Zi Xuan shook his head: "It's useless, I quarreled with my parents for a few words before I ran out, if I go back, they will definitely force me." If I marry the son of Mrs. Zhou, I might as well die......"

Qin Ming took a deep breath, it was a little difficult, and after thinking about it, he said, "Don't die or live at every turn, but what about you go home now...... It's stressful indeed.

In this way, you go to the Houya first, the little princess is also there, you accompany a few of them together, and when your parents or the son of the Zhou family come to you, they don't dare to make a mistake! ”

Zi Xuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Ming smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, I still have to work!" ”

Zi Xuan nodded slightly, and was about to retreat.

And at this moment, Qin Ming suddenly thought of something, and said, "Wait a minute, I remember that you didn't get the results of the last palace exam, and you became a female jinshi, right?" ”

Zi Xuan bit his lip when he heard this, and said, "That's right, there are twelve jinshi, and I am one of them!" ”

"If you are a jinshi, you can be arranged as an official, it stands to reason that you should study in the official department, and when there is a vacancy for an official, you can arrange an official position, and then you will not be arranged by your parents to marry."

Jinshi can be officials, such as the Mozhou prefect and Tongzhi and Tongzhi last time, after being arrested by Qin Ming, it was the Jinshi in the last examination who was sent to serve.

And Qin Ming decided that in the imperial examination, women can also take the exam, and they can even be officials.

Zixuan is the best in the women's imperial examination, and naturally she can also be an official.

Who knew that Zixuan listened to Qin Ming's words, but he was silent for a long time.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Ming frowned.

Zi Xuan sighed when he heard this, and said, "There is no precedent for a woman to be an official after all, so ...... Therefore, the ministry has no intention of arranging women as officials at all......"

Qin Ming snorted: "The imperial examination system has been realized, since a woman has become a jinshi, it means that she is still capable, why can't she be an official?" Isn't that looking down on women? ”

But thinking about it again, in such an ancient world, the status of women is indeed not too high.

However, this does not mean that women cannot be talented.

In terms of physical structure, men are indeed stronger than women, and many things can only be done by men, such as various construction and fighting.

Therefore, there is a division of labor, men and women weave, each taking their own strengths!

However, as far as the brain is concerned, although there are differences, they are not as obvious as the body.

As long as the knowledge is mastered, a woman's mind will not be bad.

Therefore, since you have been admitted to the Jinshi, it means that you have the ability in this area, so you can be an official!

"My lord, a woman is an official, and it's not a realistic ......," Zixuan said.

Qin Ming snorted: "This official, what do you think of me as a rule?" Trifling? Since this imperial examination system allows women to take scientific examinations, they can be officials. ”

As he spoke, he got up, closed the paperwork, and said to Zixuan: "You go to the Houya first, and I'll go to the ministry!" ”

"My lord, you are going to the Ministry of Officials to ......" Zi Xuan was a little excited, but also a little worried!

Qin Ming took two steps, turned around and said with a calm face: "I'll go and see who is so bold and doesn't take the imperial examination seriously!" ”

With that, Qin Ming waved his sleeves and turned to leave!

When the imperial examination and official selection system was first customized, Qin Ming told the emperor that women could also be officials, and even in some very detailed matters, they might be better handled than male officials.

At that time, the emperor also agreed, and determined this regulation with Qin Ming.

However, now that the officials don't implement it, can Qin Ming not look for them?

Driving the carriage, after arriving at the official department, the little official guarding the door saw that it was Qin Ming, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed down!

Qin Ming didn't stop, quickly entered the official department, and went directly to the hall.

At this moment, in the hall, the official department Shangshu and the two attendants were saying something to the officials of the other four divisions.

As he was talking about it, Qin Ming walked into the hall with a cold face.

As soon as they saw Qin Ming coming, the officials of the ministry got up one after another, and they still respected Qin Ming more.

After all, Qin Ming has been a supervisor in the Ministry of Officials for a period of time, implementing the system of selecting officials through the imperial examination, and has also been in contact with these officials.

It's just that at this moment, when they saw that Qin Ming's face was not good-looking, their hearts were all drumming.

The official department Shangshu smiled and said, "Lord Qin, why do you have time to come to the official department today?" ”

Qin Ming snorted: "If I don't come, how can I know that you and others despise the official election system so much?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the official secretary and the two attendants changed, and then the official secretary said:

"Why did Lord Qin say this? The officials and their colleagues in the Ministry of Officials are all in full accordance with the rigorous process, from the strictly trained jinshi, and strictly screen out the most suitable jinshi to serve in official positions, where do they dare to defy the official selection system? ”

Zuo Shilang also said: "Yes, Lord Qin, you have wronged us, we are now discussing which Jinshi should be appointed to your Shuntian Mansion to govern next." ”

"That's right, although Zhizhong is only a fifth-grade official, we are also discussing together, which Jinshi should be chosen to serve, isn't this enough to be dutiful?" The right attendant also spoke.

Qin Ming exhaled: "Then let me ask you, the woman of the Zhongjin Shi, has there ever been an arrangement to be an official?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three chief officials of the Ministry were stunned.

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed: "I remember that those who passed the Jinshi in the palace examination included the daughter of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Palace, that is, the girl I accepted to teach in the mansion at the beginning, and the talented girl Zixuan." Wait, have you ever arranged for them to be officials? ”

The official Shangshu took a deep breath: "No, but Lord Qin, what Your Majesty said is that women should not be important officials." ”

Qin Ming snorted: "You can't be an important official, and you can't be an official, are two meanings, do you still need me to explain the difference?" ”

The official Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's the official who is confused, Lord Qin, the governance of this Shuntian Mansion is to handle money and grain, household registration, land and other things, do you think it is suitable for women?" ”

Qin Ming nodded: "Just give it to Zixuan!" ”

"Since Lord Qin said so, then okay, I'll write down the appointment paperwork!" The official secretary nodded, so he took up the pen and wrote down the paperwork.
