Chapter 261: Fresh Duties

Since it is to manage the harem, it must be famous.

"Then ask the little emperor to recognize Baomei as his righteous sister, and then crown Baomei as the regent princess, and take charge of the palace seal instead of the queen." Zhu Yonghong said calmly, obviously this idea was not what he had just come up with.

But in fact, Zhu Yonghong is the son-in-law of Emperor Shaowen. If the little emperor recognizes Wang Jibao as his righteous sister, this generation will be chaotic.

But royal affairs have never been so serious. Moreover, Zhu Yonghong never regarded Xu Yanrong as his own woman, and naturally did not regard himself as the son-in-law of Emperor Shaowen. Therefore, in his opinion, there is no pressure to do so.

Wang Jibao was still waiting at home for the news that she was going to enter the palace to cry for Emperor Shaowen, but she first waited for the holy decree to make her the eldest princess regent.

This new status is the highest among the ladies under the queen.

Wang Jibao took the order completely in a state of confusion.

In this way, she will enter the palace at any time to take charge of the harem for the nominal emperor's younger brother. In addition to this, it is necessary to manage the foreign wife. That's a lot of thinking about her.

After this father-in-law is completely in power, he is willful!

However, there is an advantage of being the eldest princess that Wang Jibao prefers. That is, no matter who you see in the future, you don't have to kneel. When you see your father-in-law, you can bow and salute.

Wang Jibao is really unfamiliar with this freshly baked position.

Not to mention that she is not familiar with it, even in all dynasties and dynasties, there has never been such a position that she can use as a reference.

It's a bit of a nonsense in it. I've never heard of a princess regent to manage the harem.

However, it is really determined by this special period and the current special situation.

The harem must be completely in our hands, otherwise, we don't know what chaos is going to happen. This is the words that Zhu Linxi sent to Wang Jibao, which can be regarded as an explanation for why she received such a strange holy decree.

There is no way, since the holy decree has been issued, and now there is enough chaos inside and outside the court, she has no choice but to accept this will and stabilize the harem first.

But how?

Wang Jibao raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky speechlessly.

Although this position is new, isn't there a part of it that needs to be in charge of the palace seal for the queen and handle palace affairs? Let's start with the queen's duties.

But if she is only a princess from a foreign country, and she is not familiar with these ladies of Shaoguo now, it is really difficult for her to start business immediately.

So Wang Jibao decided to set up the eldest princess's mansion yamen first, which is his Zhan Shi Mansion.

There are some positions in the foreign affairs department of the Zhan Mansion that can be filled by men, but she decided to use all women to handle the duties of the palace and manage foreign women.

The man's side is now in short supply for the court, so she won't follow the robbery here. But there is no problem on the woman's side. It just depends on whether the women she wants to recruit have this ability.

So Wang Jibao's first report to his father-in-law was: after keeping filial piety for Emperor Shaowen for a month, he would hold an examination similar to the imperial examination in Shaojing. The person who participated in the assessment was a woman with a certain degree of independence. It's a woman who won't be confined in the backyard. She also noted that especially older palace maids, older unmarried women, and widowed women are preferred.

The appearance of this twist and turn immediately caused an uproar in the court, is this to let women come over to participate in politics?

Fortunately, Wang Jibao wrote very clearly on the remarks, although she is now the eldest princess regent, please rest assured that she will not participate in the court politics, she is only responsible for managing the harem and foreign women.

In Wang Jibao's opinion, if she has any good advice, she just needs to talk to her father-in-law and husband, so why take it to the court to talk about things.

When the ministers heard this, as long as they did not have to be officials in the same dynasty as the women, as long as they did not let their women participate in the affairs of the state, everything was easy to say.

The princesses themselves also have their own Zhan Shi Mansion. It's just that except for a very small number of palace maids who will be canonized, the rest of the configuration must also be replaced by men.

Now the eldest princess regent just wants to set up her own Zhan Mansion, and she needs to use women as officials, in fact, it is also said in the past. Especially now that the whole country is employing people, there are not so many idlers sent to fill the Zhan Mansion for her.

In this way, if there was such a big event as a woman being an official that would normally cause controversy, it was finally accepted by everyone.

This is also an opportunity, which is a good start for more women to participate in some things in the country in this way.

Wang Jibao respects the people's feelings in this period very much, and she will not introduce women into the court, let alone now, even in the future.

She herself will not openly appear in the court to demand any equality between men and women.

But in her own way, she will let the people of the world see the power of women.

For Emperor Shaowen's filial piety, the women of the harem must participate in it. Regardless of the things to be examined later, Wang Jibao must first solve this matter in the harem, and he can't let the harem concubines mess up the order and lose everyone's face.

The first person she can think of to help her now is Mama Lanxiang next to her mother-in-law.

She is an old man in the palace, and she also helps her mother-in-law solve many things in the harem.

Although it is now claimed that Lu Guifei was burned to death by a fire, Mama Lanxiang can find a reason to escape.

Therefore, she was requisitioned.

In this way, even if Mama Lanxiang takes care of her mother-in-law in the future, it can be said that Wang Xibao prepared for her mother-in-law. This can be regarded as an excuse for the future.

The second person she wants to requisition is her now titular sister-in-law, Liu.

Liu was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has been familiar with the female dependents of the Shaojing aristocratic family since he was a child. Besides, Wang Jibao is really unfamiliar with Shaojing, and the only one who can be regarded as familiar is this person.

In order to win this person, Wang Jibao had to go to the regent's palace.

With the appearance of Wang Jibao this time, the Liu family can no longer and no longer dare to call herself a sister-in-law.

She already knew that Zhu Linjiang had an accident, but she didn't know what it was. At the same time, she also had a vague understanding: that is, her husband could not figure out whether he was the regent's biological flesh and blood.

If her guess is proven to be true, then she and Wang'er may not live long.

In this way, she spent a month in trepidation.

"Courtiers, see the princess regent!" After Liu saw Wang Jibao, he immediately stepped forward to pay homage.

"Excuse me!" In less than four months, there was no equality between the two men. Wang Jibao will not be hypocritical and engage in anything on an equal footing with others.

What should be identity is identity. This is called hierarchy. If you don't comply, then you will not only be disrespectful to yourself, but you will also harm others.

In this era, there is a profession that can be compared to the paparazzi, and that is Goshi.

They will keep an eye on each house, every house, and every person, and if they find out who is wrong in their words and deeds, they will join them all day long.

"Eldest Princess Xie!" Liu prostrated again and got up.

There was a moment of awkwardness between the two. Wang Jibao suddenly felt that if she didn't call Liu her sister-in-law, she didn't know what to call her.

So he asked, "Your girl's name is Xiuyun, right?" ”

"Yes, the courtier's maid's name is Xiuyun." Liu replied in a proper manner.

"Then I'll teach you Sister Xiuyun now." Wang Jibao said very casually.

Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The courtiers don't dare to let you call you sister, you can call the courtiers Liu." ”

Wang Jibao smiled and said, "In private, I called it like this first, and it seems that we are closer." You can also call me Baomei in private. ”

Liu shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, no, no, you can torture the courtiers." ”

Wang Jibao is also very helpless, this is the most intuitive impact of the gap in status.

This is not to say that she has changed, she has become condescending and looks down on people. It's her identity that determines a lot of things.

Wang Jibao also deeply experienced the loneliness of a lonely person.

"Sister Xiuyun, I came to you today to negotiate with you on something important." After Wang Jibao finished speaking, he walked to the main seat and sat down. Then he raised his hand and motioned for Liu to sit.

After Liu found a place to sit down, he still looked very restrained.

Wang Jibao smiled and said, "Sister Xiuyun, although there is not much contact between the two of us, since I came to Shaoguo, you are the first person who does not care about helping me." Especially at the beginning, you know that the husband of the two of us has always been on the opposite side. ”

Hearing Wang Jibao say this, Liu also remembered that she should have stood on her husband's side, but she constantly released kindness to the little girl in front of her.

But fate is such a wonderful thing sometimes. She didn't know why she did it in the first place.

Seeing that Liu was no longer so restrained, Wang Jibao felt that it was better for the two to talk openly and honestly. This can also help Liu get rid of the current predicament.

If Wang Jibao doesn't stretch out his hand, I don't know what the result will be for Liu's waiting? Even if she reconciles with Zhu Linjiang, what will the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion do to her after she goes back?

What's more, Prime Minister Liu himself actually belongs to the prince's party.

Zhu Yonghong has not yet found a suitable candidate to replace the post of prime minister, and considering that Prime Minister Liu is old, most of the reasons for his participation are to maintain orthodoxy, and there is also the fact that Prime Minister Liu usually does not overly suppress Zhu Yonghong's lineage, nor does he participate in this rebellion.

Therefore, Zhu Yonghong decided to wait for everyone to finish their filial piety for Emperor Shaowen, and let him propose to return to his hometown, which can be regarded as a decent ending for him.
