Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run.

Meng Huaijin ascended the throne, Cheng Qing did have a backer, but will this backer be stable forever?

Not necessarily.

The emperor has a lot of power, but the emperor cannot be the enemy of the world.

If Cheng Qing's secret is revealed now, Meng Huaijin must give an explanation to the people of the world, Cheng Qing can save a life, but he will forever abandon the identity of "Cheng Qing", and he can only live incognito for the rest of his life.

Of course, this is not what Cheng Qing wants.

She didn't want Senior Brother Meng to be embarrassed, and she didn't want anyone around her to suffer because of this secret.

"The best thing to do is for me to become an irreplaceable being."

Cheng Qing doesn't mind dressing up as a man for the rest of her life, but in this way, the initiative is always in the hands of others, not to mention that one day Xiao Yunting is in a bad mood and wants to drag her into the abyss, even if Xiao Yunting doesn't expose her, this secret may be revealed by others.

Tao Buyan is dead, Cheng Zhiyuan will never see anyone alive or dead, and Cheng Qing will never be truly at ease.

Cheng Qing has an ambition.

One day she will become a weightless existence for Da Wei, her contribution to Da Wei, the authority she represents, so that others must pretend to be deaf and dumb even if they know that she is a daughter!

Because revealing her secret is not good for everyone.

She wants to stage a "Emperor's New Clothes" in Dawei, so that everyone will lie with their eyes open, and cooperate with her disguise.

At that time, her true gender would be a semi-open secret.

You don't have to hype it up, but you don't have to cover it up.

He Wan was stunned by the future described by Cheng Qing.

"Can this come true?"

"It's hard."

Cheng Qing said with a smile, "But I have to work hard in this direction, since I returned to my hometown, the predicament in front of me, which is not difficult, isn't it still over?" ”

He Wan asked Cheng Qing what she could do and how she could help Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing said that He Wan was already helping.

"Wan Niang, you are helping now, you are teaching women the skills to make a living, when more and more women have the ability to make a living, they can not rely on men to gain a foothold in the world, women's status will naturally improve, but only this is not enough, when Da Wei can accept women as officials, more and more women do not rely on their fathers and husbands to grasp the power, then the prosperous era that you and I have imagined will come."

Encourage independence of thought and spirit first.

Grants skills to make a living.

Fight for them to read and write on the same footing as men.

Creating jobs for women, and becoming mentally and financially independent, the next step is naturally to chase power. There is no shame in chasing fame and fortune, everyone is a hermit, learn that set of shit rules of three obedience and four virtues, and naturally have to be at the mercy of others if they have no power in their hands!

He Wan understood.

Cheng Qing's safety is actually closely related to the prosperous era they want, and when Cheng Qing's authority is at its peak, the prosperous era will follow. Similarly, once the prosperous era they imagined came, it was no longer an exception for someone like Cheng Qing to enter the government as a woman, and they would no longer have to deal with who Cheng Qing would confess to.

The law does not hold the public accountable.

He Wan secretly encouraged herself, the influence of the weaving workshop was not big enough, she had to do something for Cheng Qing, not only for Cheng Qing, but also for herself, for thousands of women in the world.

……

He Wan was afraid that Cheng Qing's secret would be exposed.

Meng Huaijin was also afraid.

Meng Huaijin can protect Cheng Qing's life, but she doesn't let Cheng Qing do what she wants, even if her life is fine, Cheng Qing's life will be very painful.

Meng Huai's level of consideration is already different from He Wan, he is the master of the empire, there are some things that He Wan and Cheng Qing want to do, but it is easy for him to do it.

Meng Huaijin soon found the right opportunity.

In March this year, the anniversary of the first emperor, Meng Huaijin had already released the rumor that he had not established for three years, and there were still ministers who wanted to fill the harem for him: after not standing up, he could choose a concubine, which did not conflict with His Majesty's filial piety.

In March, the government and the opposition are paying attention to the spring festival, waiting for the spring festival to be released, the palace examination is held, and now the new science and technology scholars have completed the examination of the Hanlin Academy, and the war in the northwest has been temporarily suspended, and it is the best time to worry about the new emperor's harem.

The courtiers who raised this matter had very good reasons, and several palace people in the harem, the concubines of the former emperor, and the underage princes and princesses under the knees of the former emperor all needed someone to manage and take care of them.

Originally, the Queen Mother could take care of the affairs of the harem instead of the future queen, but since the Queen Mother was injured last year, she has been sick and can only recuperate now, how can she worry about the trivial matters of the harem?

The queen mother doesn't care, none of the emperor's concubines are qualified to care.

The harem managed by the concubine has never had a precedent in Dawei.

If Meng Huaijin's harem is full and he sets up two or three high-ranking concubines, he can choose talented people to help the queen mother assist in the harem.

The reason is too strong.

The Queen Mother didn't know how to refute it for a while.

What's more, the Queen Mother didn't want to bother to refute.

Why not give it a try.

The person who is unwilling to establish the queen is Meng Huaijin, but not the queen mother. If the courtiers want to find trouble, they should have let Meng Huai deal with it!

"Niangniang, why are you so troubled?"

Concubine Xian persuaded, "Your Majesty is not a person who will compromise easily, what the King of Shu wants to do before leaving, His Majesty has no permission, and the King of Shu can only go to the fief." ”

Qiao Yingzhen, the side concubine of the four princes, was very knowledgeable, and took the initiative to write a letter to the four princes to refrain from the request of the king of Shu.

Concubine Xian thought about it later, even if she didn't have Qiao Ying's true interest, Meng Huaijin would still not be led by the nose by the king of Shu.

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, "It is about the succession to the throne and the society of the country, and the mourning family will not compromise easily." ”

If Meng Huaijin had no son, the throne would have to return to Xiao Yuzhong's descendants, and the Queen Mother had paid so much, but she didn't want to see such a result.

Whenever there is a chance, the Queen Mother wants to try.

The Queen Mother never expected that in response to the questions raised by the courtiers, Meng Huaijin had already had a countermeasure.

Meng Huaijin didn't take the initiative to mention it, he was waiting for the right time, now is the right time, since the courtiers care about the order of the harem, how can a wise monarch disappoint the courtiers?

"Queen Mother, I am going to discuss with you to select female officials across the country, choose women with innocent family backgrounds as female officials, give them the same rank and rank as the ministers of the previous dynasty, and let them ensure the order of the harem as female officials, and everything is done in accordance with the rules, with these female officials in charge, the queen mother does not have to work hard, and the ministers and clan relatives of the previous dynasty do not always have to worry about me!"

Electing a female officer?

There were female officials in the palace, and they also had different ranks.

Meng Huaijin compared the female official with the ministers of the previous dynasty, and wanted to select it throughout the country, the queen mother felt that the "female official" she understood was probably not the same thing as the female official in Meng Huaijin's mouth!

The female officials in the palace are only higher than the palace people, and they can't control the concubines of the palaces, the princes, and the princesses.

Meng Huai's female officials are not concubine reserves, but real "female officials" with both ability and political integrity, even if they can only show their strength in the palace for the time being, their existence will still make the ministers of the previous dynasty jealous and afraid.

The Queen Mother muttered: "There is a simple way you don't choose, but you choose the most difficult one, why are you so stubborn?" ”
