Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

It's not that she looked down on Shen Yuantang, it's that she simply didn't dare!

When she was in Dongchuan, she had someone to protect her. When she returned to the capital, she also had someone to protect her. What had she been through?

In Shen Yuanxin's opinion, Shen Yuantang's thoughts were not worth mentioning at all.

Ignoring Shen Yuantang's dark face, Shen Yuanxin quickly walked towards the main hall.

Things are different now than before. She doesn't want to promise her marriage to others casually again.

……

The last incident in the southwest delayed the implementation of many government affairs, which was not as good as the women's martial arts and imperial examinations.

Without Shen Lanxi's support, no official in the court dared to implement it.

This time, Shen Lanxi took advantage of the beginning of his accession to the throne, recruited talented people in the name of benefiting the world, and re-proposed the imperial examination for women.

"My dear friends, do you have any objections?"

"If you have any objections, please feel free to speak up. I am willing to discuss this with you, my dear ministers!"

Who dares to discuss?

The last death of the censor is still an unsolved case.

Che Mingyuan took the lead: "Your Majesty, I agree."

Liu Mingxin: "I agree!"

Mei Nanhua: "I, the old minister, agree too!"

Wu Yanzhi: "I agree, too!"

The three leading ministers all nodded, and the rest of the officials could only respond.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Our court is united, and with the cooperation between me and the border guards, we will surely be able to usher in a bright and prosperous era!"

All the officials were placed on high pedestals. Some forced themselves to smile, some looked relaxed, and some had changing minds.

After the court session was adjourned, Shen Lanxi invited the old man and three or five close ministers to go incognito among the people.

After the morning court session, the news that women could participate in the civil and military examinations had quickly spread among the people.

The reason she left the palace this time was to see the public's reaction to this matter.

"Can women really pass the imperial examinations?"

"After passing the imperial examination, will you become an official?"

"How can a woman be an official? This is simply nonsense."

"Even if women were allowed to take the imperial examinations, they would not be able to compete with men. It would simply be a waste of time."

"It's difficult. I guess there won't be many women who would sign up. It's OK in the capital, where women can go to school. Women in other places are as lowly as grass, and they can't even get enough food. How can their families afford to send them to school?"

"In many places, girls have to help with housework when they are a little older. Even if there are free schools, they will not let girls go."

"Our capital has an open-minded atmosphere, and the status of women has risen because of Your Majesty. It's different in other places."

"Our Majesty is a good person, but it is difficult for her to make all women in the world sensible and wise!"

Shen Lanxi and others sat at the tea stall and listened to every word of these people.

Mr. Ruohua and Ji Xiuran walked over side by side.

The two were also surprised to see Shen Lanxi and her group. Just as they were about to salute, they were stopped by Shen Lanxi.

"No need to be polite, just sit down and have some tea!"

Ji Xiuran asked cautiously, "Why would Your Majesty appear among the common people? Do you have any guards?"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "To manage a family well, you must first listen to the opinions of your family members and know what they are thinking."

Ji Xiuran suddenly realized something and said bluntly: "Mr. Ruohua and I also want to hear these voices."

Mr. Ruohua smiled and said, "No one in the capital opposed this, and they all praised this move as enlightened."

It was lunchtime, and groups of girls and women were walking around the streets.

They either carried school bags or held pens and ink in their hands, walking side by side with the men. In the past, women with strict rules at home would either wear tent hats when going out, or simply stay at home.

Compared to the past, there are huge changes now.

Ji Xiuran: "Many girls in the academy have already signed up for the imperial examination. There are only a few who are hesitant. In my opinion, their families will accompany them to register within two days."

Shen Lanxi nodded and asked with a smile, "Has Master Ji's daughter signed up?"

Ji Xiuran was stunned, then said embarrassedly: "I have registered. My daughter is the first one to register."

Shen Lanxi: "I heard that the daughter of Lord Ji is quite famous in the capital, and is recognized as a talented woman by the people of the capital."

"There are also Lord Liu, Lord Wu, and the daughter of the old master's family. They are all as talented as the top scholar!"

Although the term "number one scholar" is a bit exaggerated, many parents like to hear it.

"It's over, Your Majesty. My daughter is too straightforward. She studies the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty every day. I am really worried to death." Liu Mingxin said this with a smile on his face, as if he was doting on his daughter.

Ji Xiuran: "My daughters are the same. They like the Great Zhou Law the most, especially the part about concubine tax. They study it several times a day."

Shen Lanxi praised generously: "If they can serve as officials in the court, they will definitely contribute to the criminal law of our Great Zhou."

Some smiled bitterly, while others seemed to be thinking about something.

For a woman to be able to serve as a lady-in-waiting in the palace was the highest honor she could achieve.

Things like criminal law are all handled by men. There are hundreds of thousands of rules and regulations, and all the legal books put together are as big as a house.

Women's minds are delicate and cannot be as tolerant as men's. Asking them to memorize so many laws is harder than climbing to the sky.

Anyone who comes into contact with criminal law must be a ruthless person. Only men have hearts as hard as iron, while women are only soft-hearted. If a heavy sentence is turned into a light one, wouldn't it disrupt the order of the Zhou Dynasty?

Shen Lanxi noticed the reactions of each of them. After returning, she immediately called together her think tank to discuss the matter. After the decision was finalized, she announced it publicly at the morning court the next day.

"I have decided to set up the Criminal Law Department. Officials who join the Criminal Law Department must have meritorious service and be familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou."

"The main responsibility of the Criminal Law Department is to correct legal loopholes. If there are cases that cannot be adjudicated, they can also be handed over to the Criminal Law Department for handling."

"The Criminal Law Department needs to do a final review of the files from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. If you have any questions, please raise them."

The end is the point

"The Criminal Law Department is under my direct jurisdiction. If there are any unjust, false or wrong cases, they can be reported directly to the emperor."

The officials were confused and some of them could not understand the emperor's intentions?

Could it be that Your Majesty wants to learn from the previous dynasty, cultivate confidants, and monitor all officials?

Many officials began to feel cold all over, and after the court session ended, they immediately called their disciples to give them repeated warnings.

"Clean up everything that has happened before and make sure no one can catch you!"

"Yes!"

When the women's imperial examination was in full swing, Shen Lanxi once again received a secret letter from Tianjin.

"Zhou Ruyuan and Wang Xiangyi got married."

"Your Majesty, the opportunity has arrived!"

Shen Lanxi sneered and said, "On the front page of tomorrow's Express, it will be reported that Zhou Ruyuan married a vicious woman for the second time in order to gain power in Tianjin."

Che Mingyuan was shocked when he heard such a shocking expression.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to write it like this?"

They were express newspapers supervised by the imperial court, serious express newspapers, not erotic newspapers printed by small workshops to attract customers.

"Yes, write it like this. Zhou Ruyuan has done this, and we are not lying!"

That's true!

It’s just that Wang Xiangyi had a bad reputation when he was in the capital, and it was even worse in Tianjin.
