The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 643 Female Officials

Not long after, everyone came to the meeting hall of the Duke's Mansion.

Without further ado, Lin Yifan handed over the admonition form jointly signed by the gentry for everyone to read.

When it was passed to Pei Yan, he quickly glanced at it, and his face immediately became gloomy.How dare these reckless Patriarchs do this?A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in his heart. It seemed that he had been excluded by the gentry, otherwise, they would not have been ignorant of such an important matter.

With a heavy heart, Pei Yan handed the admonition form to the next person, lamenting in her heart, she must have done something wrong.

After everyone finished watching, Lin Yifan's eyes quickly fell on Pei Yan, and he said with a strange smile: "Master Pei, what do you think about this matter?"

Pei Yan quickly stood up and said, "My lord, this time the gentry conspired, and I don't know anything about it. I have nothing to say."

"Hehe, everyone, these gentry have written a letter at this time, complaining about the shortcomings of the Women's Administration." Lin Yifan looked at the crowd with a sneer, "Do you know what their intentions are?"

Everyone frowned, secretly scolding these gentry for being troublesome.The Women's Administration is an official office set up by adults. After so many years, everyone has become accustomed to its existence.More importantly, the scope of jurisdiction of the Women's Administration is limited to the education and protection of women, which does not conflict with the current system.But now the gentry are moving the Women's Government Office at this time, this adult's heart is really courting death.

"My lord, this matter must be related to the case of Mr. Shi's family." Chen Dengke snorted coldly, "These gentry must take this opportunity to take revenge on your lord. I think that we can find out the person who conspired to make an example to others."

"Hmph, how to kill?" Lin Yifan said in a deep voice, "These people have not revealed any flaws in their remonstrance. Even if I want to deal with it according to law, there is nothing I can rely on."

"My lord, I feel that the purpose of these gentry to attack the Women's Administration at this time may not be as simple as revenge." Ye Hongyu stroked his long beard and said slowly, "Now I, Hengshan, will establish a country, and the people under my rule However, they have never been able to occupy a place under our Hengshan system. It can be said that the gentry under my rule is the period with the least power in history. If it goes on for a long time, they will gradually disappear. Therefore, at this time, If the nobles don’t hold back, they will have no chance. However, our system in Hengshan has been gradually perfected, and they have no room to attack. Only the Women’s Government Office is their weakness that they can attack.”

"Well, what Minister Ye said is reasonable." Lin Yifan nodded slightly, "Since this is the case, how should we deal with it? This time the gentry submitted the letter, there is no overstepping, and it is completely in line with my Hengshan rules. If I want to stay within the rules There are not many means available to win them. What do you think, how should we convince them?"

This?Everyone couldn't help but fell silent.It is not an easy task to convince the gentry.The Women's Administration is already very strange, and it has never been done since ancient times.The various loopholes in it, as well as the ethics contrary to the world, gave the gentry many excuses to attack.In order to stop the crimes of the gentry, it is necessary to make the existence of the Women's Government Office meaningful, and at the same time make its existence widely accepted by the people.

"My lord, the biggest question of the gentry about the Women's Administration is the female official system." Han Song stood up and said, "The female officials are the system of the inner court, and the outer court has never existed. Now the Women's Administration is the official office of the outer court." , the director receives a five-rank salary, and the female officials at all levels are included in the official system, no different from other officials. If you want to convince the public, you need to go back to the source and trace the beginning of the female official system in order to rectify it. name."

"This?" Lin Yifan couldn't help frowning. Although he had read a lot of history books in this world in the past ten years, he had never seen a precedent of a woman serving as an official in the past.On the contrary, in his world, although there are women who claim to be emperor, it doesn't apply here.

At this moment, Mr. Bian Ji, who was sitting at the back, suddenly said, "My lord, if you talk about the origin of the female official system, there is actually a source."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but looked at him together, with curiosity in their eyes.Could it be that in ancient times, there really were female officials?

Lin Yifan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly said, "Please tell me clearly, sir."

Mr. Bian Ji said slowly: "In ancient times, the Huaxu clan was born here. After hundreds of years, it slowly expanded to the hinterland of the Central Plains. During this period, the Huaxu clan gradually evolved into the Huaxu Kingdom and became the co-lord of the world. However After a hundred years, Huaxu's national power was weakened, and the barbarians from all directions invaded wantonly, and a large area of ​​the country and its subjects and tribes were plundered and killed. When Huaxu's No. 13 monarch, Qi Lin, succeeded to the throne, after ten years of hard work, he finally launched a big war against the barbarians in all directions. The large-scale attack wiped out all directions in one fell swoop, allowing the Huaxu Kingdom to rejuvenate and continue for hundreds of years. Do you know who guarded the territory for King Qilin while he was accumulating strength?"

Everyone couldn't help showing confusion on their faces. They knew about Lin Zhongxing's story.King Qilin was also one of the ancient sage kings highly respected by sages, but he knew nothing about it other than that.

Mr. Bian Ji sighed slightly, and said with admiration: "The one who held the military power and guarded the gate of the country was the Queen Yu of the King of Lin. The world only knows that Yu is the Queen of the King of Lin, who is brave and resourceful, and often follows the king. Going out to fight, has been known as a virtuous person throughout the ages. But I don’t know that the general in charge of the army recorded in the history books is actually the queen.”

"This, is this true?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.Lin Yifan was even more skeptical, "I don't know where the master knows it?"

"Hehe, this is what I saw at Han Tong's mansion back then. Han Tong is a keen collector of ancient books, and I was lucky enough to read them, so I learned." Bian Ji said with a smile.

Only then did everyone realize that this Han Tong is one of the three great masters of Confucianism in the world, and it is not surprising that he can get the secrets of ancient times.

"Although Mr. knows the secret, Mr. Han Tong also has evidence, but." Lin Yifan smiled wryly, "But now we have no proof, how can we convince everyone?"

Mr. Bian Ji was slightly taken aback, and then said with a light smile: "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. Han Tong and this old man have known each other for many years. He only needs to write a letter in hand, and he will be able to borrow that ancient book. What's more, as an adult, it is actually more persuasive."

"My identity?" Lin Yifan couldn't help but wonder, if his identity as the Duke was useful, how could those gentry still make trouble here?

Mr. Bian Ji smiled slightly, "Don't you know, my lord? Your bloodline can actually be traced back to the lineage of King Qilin."

"What? Sir, are you joking?" Lin Yifan was taken aback. He suddenly remembered that when his uncle passed on the title of Patriarch to him, he had indeed said that their Lin family was from the lineage of the ancient kings.But it is unclear who the former king was.At that time, he didn't care about it. Since ancient times, there have been many acts of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, which is not surprising.

"No." Mr. Bian Ji said seriously, "My lord's Lin family is actually descended from the lineage of Changlin, the second son of King Qilin. And this Changlin is the son of King Qilin and Queen Yu. Although he did not inherit the throne, he is still a descendant of the royal family. Later, he was given the surname Lin by the King of Lin, and he was granted the title of Duke in the ancestral land. That is why the Ancient Hua Kingdom existed."
