"No need for formalities!"
"As a woman, I'm afraid others won't accept you as an official. It's not convenient for you to be the county magistrate of Zhaoge.”
"With this jade pendant, you can take advantage of it. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing me in person!”
After Zi Shou finished speaking.
A temple attendant presented a jade pendant.
"I thank the king for his kindness!"
Shang Qingjun bowed, her expression filled with excitement.
Your Majesty...
The Great King was truly too wise!
"Alright, go now. I will immediately issue my decree!”
Zi Shou said with a smile. He leaned back and the smile on his lips became more obvious.
This time…
If everything went well, he would be able to continue harvesting fatuous points around Chaoge!
Zishou's abacus was making crackling sounds.
First of all, hiring a woman as an official with real power was an unprecedented move, so it might not be accepted by others.
Furthermore, he had appointed Shang Qingjun as the Magistrate of Zhaoge, and she was responsible for maintaining order and patrolling.
In this way, there would be some conflicts with the nobles in Zhaoge City.
And with the jade pendant he gave them, the nobles would not be able to do anything.
He was humiliated.
Naturally, it would be transferred to other aspects.
For example…
Rumors?
Your Shang King said that in order to maintain fairness, you will personally select and promote officials.
then...
Then, he promoted a woman who didn't know anything. This woman...
And the daughter of the current prime minister.
It's hard for me to believe in your so-called fairness.
Could it be that the so-called fairness was to select the daughters of important officials in the court as officials?
Once this news spread, it would cause the people to be indignant.
That's right.
You said that it was everyone's responsibility to choose officials among the people.
But the one you chose…
She's the daughter of an important minister.
Aren't you trying to regulate us?
In this way, he could reap a wave of fatuous points from the people.
Furthermore, with Shang Qingjun as the county magistrate…
It could also pave the way for the future reform of the official system.
There were still too few officials.
Zishou was preparing to reform the entire three provinces and six departments.
This way, if there were too many empty seats, more treacherous officials would emerge.
For a moment, Zi Shou's thoughts flew.
However, he did not know…
Shang Qing Jun was like her father, a woman who knew how to overthink things.
On the way back to the residence.
Shang Qingjun calmed down the excitement in her heart, unable to hold it in any longer as she started to ponder.
His Majesty had never seen him before, so why would he entrust him with such an important task?
In order to prevent himself from encountering obstacles, he gave him the Mystic Bird Jade Pendant.
Your Majesty...
How did he know that he would encounter obstacles?
Could it be…
His actions during this period of time had been seen by the king?
This thought suddenly appeared in Shang Qingjun's mind, and then…She couldn't get rid of it. Some details that she didn't notice in the past also surfaced in her mind.
For example, the king ordered Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, to hide outside the city and expose Wuzu's evil deeds.
After the incident, with the king's wisdom and power, why would he ignore those sisters who had suffered so miserably?
Now, Shang Qingjun had thought it through!
So it was for this moment!
With the king's wisdom and divine power, he must have known that there were crafty sycophants in the court.
He was afraid that others would criticize him and it would not be convenient for his plan.
Therefore…
He let it go first.
Now that Chaoge was safe and the traitor had been killed, the king began to act immediately.
Rescuing Chaoge's miserable sisters was nothing but a temporary solution.
The king directly abolished all rituals of human sacrifice. It could be considered that this matter had been resolved at the root!
Shang Qingjun's mind was in turmoil. All the doubts in her heart these past few days had been easily resolved!
I must have accidentally saved those sisters during this period of time and was noticed by the king.
Therefore…
That's why the king entrusted me with such an important task!
And the King's motive for doing so…
It was all for the aftermath of the abolition of the ritual of sacrificing living people!
When Shang Qingjun thought of this, the corners of her lips curled up into a mesmerizing arc.
He looked in the direction of the palace and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I…I won't let you down!"
....
The next morning.
Shang Rong watched his daughter leave the mansion with a group of soldiers. He had a grudge in his heart but couldn't say it out!
This was…
It was simply ridiculous!
Appoint women as officials with real power
That was terrifying!
He was directly responsible for the security and patrol around Chaoge.
Shang Rong was shocked when he heard this news yesterday.
What was in this Great King's gourd…
What kind of medicine was he selling?
Shang Rong, who claimed to be able to guess the King's intentions, was also dumbfounded.
What was this?
....
The people of Zhaoge Land also knew that they had a new county magistrate.
Patrol and public security!
It was a woman.
It was said that she was the current Prime Minister, the daughter of Shang Rong, Shang Qingjun.
...
As soon as this county magistrate took office, he led the army to forcefully break into the homes of the people in the villages and towns outside the city and forcefully kidnapped the newlyweds of their sons.
Moreover, there was more than one!
Almost all the villages and towns around Zhaoge had been disturbed by the county magistrate. In every village, the newlyweds of the sons of the common people had been taken away.
For a moment…
There were complaints around Chaoge.
The commoners felt that it was very embarrassing!
The beautiful wife we bought for our son was kidnapped by the new county magistrate. What's going on?
艹!
Chaoge soon heard about it.
This news reached the ears of many officials.
Naturally...
It also entered Zishou's ears.
A thick smile appeared on Zishou's face.
Shang Qingjun…
As expected of me entrusting you with such a heavy responsibility.
Well done!
Don't worry and do it boldly!
If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you!
As for why Shang Qingjun kidnapped those beautiful women, Zi Shou didn't want to ask, nor did he want to care.
He could just take the blame himself.
You just have to be at ease and do it boldly. I'll take the blame!
That's why.
In Zhaoge City, there was news.
It was said that the new county magistrate Shang Qingjun had barged into a commoner's house and kidnapped his beautiful newlywed wife at the behest of the king.
You want to ask why?
Isn't this simple?
Our king…
How lecherous!
Don't you know that some time ago, the king ordered the dukes of the four towns to send 100 beautiful women to fill the palace?
Now, the beauties of the various dukes have yet to arrive, and the king can't wait any longer…
That was why he had hired a county magistrate to help him choose beautiful women to serve in the royal court under the guise of maintaining law and order in Zhaoge.
This news spread quickly and widely.
In just one afternoon, everyone in Zhaoge City knew about it!
People were very convinced by this news.
There was nothing else…
The King was lustful. That was something that had been foreshadowed before.
When Shang Qingjun heard these comments, she was even more moved!
For the sake of these miserable sisters, the king had to bear a lot of infamy!
He…
He definitely wouldn't disappoint His Majesty!
Shang Qingjun looked in the direction of Zhaoge Palace and bowed.
