Looking at the mobile reading, someone urged me to update, and the four levels are also very anxious! Unfortunately, I have been busy during the Chinese New Year since the beginning of the year. In addition, after the new year, my old father was hospitalized and had to go to work, so I really didn’t have much time to write.
I feel sorry for everyone to keep one update. Fortunately, my old father was discharged from the hospital a few days ago and everything is safe. During this period, Siguan calmed down and worked hard to write and accumulate some manuscripts. I will resume two updates from next month. Please continue to support me. Thank you very much.

No matter how good Nagato's poem is, it is nothing more than a poem. Even if someone has read it, he will run home crying and shouting, dig out the women he has forgotten in the corner, and live a beautiful life as a couple. Or let loose.
Rufei rushed home from the Jiaofangsi, knelt down in front of the old lady and cried bitterly and confessed. After all, it is still a poem and is for entertainment purposes. Compared with the age-old anecdote about a woman becoming an official, it is simply unworthy of mention.
mesa.
The appointment of Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman from Shu, as the deputy editor-in-chief of Dahan Newspaper was an edict issued by the emperor himself. Prime Minister Dou Ying went to talk to Zhuo Wenjun and immediately stamped the emperor's edict. Thus, the first female official in the world became
The announcement is out.
Since the beginning of Pangu, passed down from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, women have always been men's ornaments, or tools for human reproduction. Those who can become officials cannot be described as rare, because there are none. The female generals of the Yang family in Ming and Qing novels are not included.
In this list, they are a group of made-up people. Whether they exist or not requires careful research. Of course, some people will name Liang Hongyu, Fan Lihua, and Hua Mulan, who are among the most heroic women among women, but none of them have been officially appointed by the imperial court.
Even in the Zhou Dynasty under the empress Wu Zetian, there were no women as officials. Shangguan Wan'er was just a palace official and was not included in the official list.
Generally speaking, there are two ways for women to become officials in ancient times. One is the so-called imperial wife. This kind of people are recognized by the emperor because their husbands or descendants are capable, so they can get a false title to satisfy the men in their family.
The second type is the palace officials. Their scope of authority lies within the palace. Although the male officials from outside the court also respect them very much, they do not recognize their status in their hearts.
Zhuo Wenjun's official position is recorded in the official list of the Prime Minister's Office, with salary and powers. In terms of rank, it is almost the same as the deputy editor of a newspaper in later generations. This is definitely explosive news in a patriarchal society, and it is unprecedented in history.
The first one. Maybe a noble family can be found in Sima Qian's historical records.
Since it is such a good thing, naturally some people are envious, jealous and hateful, especially those who are struggling on the edge of becoming officials and have never been able to take a step forward. Unfortunately, these people are the most lacking in Chang'an.
Bian Tong was so drunk that he lay on the table and kept talking: "A woman can actually be an official? Is our Emperor dizzy? I thought that I have been waiting to learn and become rich, but I have waited so long and achieved nothing.
Why should a woman be treated with such courtesy?"
"Why else? Because I have a good backer!" Chao Chao also drank a lot and took over Bian Tong's words and continued: "Who makes Sima Xiangru's woman the one Su Ren likes? A
How can a slut be an official if she is not at home to care for her husband and raise children?"
Zhu Maichen chuckled, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass: "Hey! If I had known now, I really shouldn't have listened to you two. If I went to Lingnan, I would still be a county magistrate. It would be better than being such a useless person now.
hundred times."
"Teacher is also incompetent!" Bian Tong slapped the table hard: "Why are the good-looking Taiwei and Xuchang so close? Presiding over the funeral of the Empress Dowager? Not only did it harm him, but also our brothers."
Zhu Maichen waved his hand: "You can't blame the teacher for this. He can't do anything about it. As an old minister of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, it's not surprising that he will be kicked out of the court by the emperor sooner or later."
"What's wrong, old minister? The current Prime Minister Dou Ying is still the nephew of the Empress Dowager! Just because people saw it right, he first befriended Su Ren, then flattered the emperor, and paid homage to the prime minister three times. Who in the world has such an honor? No, I
If we want to be on the list, we must not let a woman step on our heads!" Bian Tong burped and vomited into a mess.
Chao Chao chuckled twice: "Apply to the watch? In what capacity? You and I are just retainers of the former Taiwei's Mansion. How can our watch and seals be delivered to the emperor?"
Zhu Maichen also burped: "We can't do it, but the teacher can! Although he is no longer a lieutenant, he still has the weight of an old minister."
"Yes, let the teacher show up! There is no precedent for women to be officials since ancient times!" Bian Tong said only one sentence while holding back his vomiting, and then started vomiting again.
While drunk, the three of them planned to persuade the former Taiwei Zhuang Qingzhai to come forward. The plan was very good. They cited scriptures and analyzed the disadvantages of having a woman become an official from all aspects, and also boasted about their knowledge.
The sky was full of excitement. The more he talked, the happier he became, and the more he drank. When the last Zhu Maichen lay on the table and talked nonsense, the banquet for three people was declared over.
The next day, several people had severe headaches. After drinking a lot of sobering soup, they slept until noon, and then got up from the bed with difficulty. When Zhu Maichen woke up, Bian Tong and Chao Chao were among several servants.
With the help of others, I stumbled into the yard.
"Brother Zhu, do what you said last night still count?" Chao Chao asked tentatively before Bian Tong could speak. Although the three of them were friends, they respected Zhu Maichen and looked at Zhu Maichen's face in everything. This kind of question
Naturally, Zhu Maichen had to make up his mind on the matter. Bian Tong and Chao Chao were worried that if they said something wrong, they would not be willing to bear too much responsibility.
"What did you say yesterday?"
"That woman!" Bian Tong reminded loudly when he heard that Zhu Maichen didn't remember.
Zhu Maichen touched his head, with an expression on his face that looked like he was constipated: "Which woman?"
"Which one else? Of course..., Brother Zhu won't change his mind, right?" Bian Tong looked at Zhu Maichen: "No matter what happens to you two today, I must contact everyone to go to the table together, and I must not let one person
Women step on our heads, women should behave like women, and it is their duty to look after their husbands and teach their children."
Chao Chao glanced at Bian Tong: "Have you already contacted someone?"
Bian Tong shook his head: "There is no need to contact us for this matter. Who would like a woman sitting on their head?"
Wang Chao thought for a while and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this! Since Zhuo Wenjun is personally appointed by the emperor, if we contact everyone to submit a letter together, it will only make His Majesty think that we are making trouble, and maybe he will hate us even more. Wouldn't it be the same in the future?
No chance again?"
"So what, I just..."
Before Bian Tong finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhu Maichen: "This matter should be discussed in the long run. Even if we want to jointly sign the report, we have to tell the teacher."
"Hmph! I'm afraid our teacher is no longer the teacher he was before!" Bian Tong said frivolously, and you could tell from the expression on his face that he didn't take teacher Zhuang Qingzhai seriously at all.
Zhu Maichen was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Bian Tong didn't say anything, and Chao Chao sighed: "Hey! Strange to say, I went to visit the teacher this morning and found him packing his luggage."
"What? Teacher wants to go back to Wuqiang?"
"Just go back to Wuqiang. He wants to go to Louguantai."
"What? Lou Guantai? Su Ren's Lou Guantai?" Zhu Maichen grabbed Wang Chao's collar, frightening the two servants and let them go in a hurry.
"Then what should we do?" Bian Tong was also surprised and asked quickly: "Should we find another family, or should we simply leave Chang'an?"
Chao Chao forcefully opened Zhu Maichen's hand and smiled coldly: "What should we do? According to Su Ren's words, everyone should go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers!"
Zhu Maichen gasped and glared at Bian Tong: "Leave Chang'an? Do you want to die? As long as you leave Chang'an, Su Ren has ten thousand ways to kill us!"
Bian Tong quickly shut up and said nothing. Zhu Maichen snorted coldly and turned to ask Wang Chao: "Why did the teacher suddenly want to go to Louguantai? When did you decide?"
Wang Chao said: "I don't know. I only heard from the housekeeper that Su Ren came when we were drinking yesterday. He talked with the teacher all afternoon and had a great time. After Su Ren left, the teacher started to prepare with a smile. Everyone in the family was waiting
Send them all back to Wu Qiang, taking only the child and all the letters in the study."
"It's over, you didn't even think about us!"
Although Zhu Maichen, Bian Tong, and Chao Chao were nominal disciples of Zhuang Qingzhai, they were actually his disciples. According to common sense, they should have left since Zhuang Qingzhai was dismissed from office, because in
There is no other good thing about Zhuang Qingzhai. I don’t know why, everyone else has left, but the three of them have stayed here until now. Three more people are not as simple as three more mouths. They have nothing to do and drink every day.
If they eat meat, maybe Zhuang Qingzhai had already intended to drive them away, but he just couldn't save his face.
When Bian Tong and Chao Chao saw that Zhu Maichen didn't speak, they became a little anxious: "Brother Zhu, please speak, what should we do?"
Zhu Maichen pondered for a long time, looking at the servants left and right. Bian Tong and Chao Chao agreed, and immediately ordered everyone to go down. He had already woken up from the drunkenness, and was completely awakened. When he entered the room, Bian Tong even looked outside the door.
No one was there, so he quickly closed the door.
Wang Chao poured water for several people and took a sip first: "Brother Zhu, can you tell me what your plans are now? Zhuang Qingzhai has been bribed by Su Ren. We must be careful in case he attacks Su Ren."
Say something, let's just...! With Su Ren's methods, we can't afford it."
Bian Tong let out a long breath: "Fortunately, there are many things that Zhuang Qingzhai doesn't know."
"What else is there? That one thing is enough for Su Ren to kill someone, how dare you do anything else?"
The three of them entered a period of silence. Occasionally they looked up and looked at each other without saying a word. They were probably guessing what the other person was thinking. After about a quarter of an hour, Bian Tong still couldn't hold it back: "How about we go
How about Princess Guantao's mansion? You can't hang yourself from a tree when you go to another honorable noble's house."
Zhu Maichen smiled and shook his head: "No, it's inappropriate to go anywhere. Not only will others look down on us, but it will only increase Su Ren's anger towards us. It would be better..."
"Go to Lou Guantai!" Wang Chao's eyes lit up.
Zhu Maichen and Wang Chao looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Biantong asked doubtfully: "Go to Louguantai? Are you not asking for death by being sent to Su Ren's hands? Are you crazy?"
Wang Chao smiled: "This is called..."
"Bang, bang, bang..." A knock on the door suddenly sounded, frightening several people and shutting up quickly. A person outside the door said: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Bian, Mr. Wang, the master asked the three of you to go there. If you need something,
