He could only say vaguely: "Your Majesty, there seems to be no precedent for women to be officials in all dynasties, right?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that the emperor would understand.
Sure enough, Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows: "There is no precedent in the past dynasties, but we can set a precedent here! Why shouldn't a woman be an official? Who said that only men can be officials in this world? In my heart, she is better than the elders Most men are more qualified to be officials. If she wants it, I will give it to her!”
He spoke with great energy and decisiveness.
Obviously, before he called Xiaosi in, he had read the letter several times and had already made up his mind.
It is treason for a woman to be an official!
If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would be furious again.
Xiao Si secretly complained in his heart and advised: "Your Majesty, you should think twice before you act. I think it is unbelievable for a woman to be an official. I have never heard of or seen a servant grow up to such a big age..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Well said, it is indeed unheard of and unheard of for a woman to be an official, so I will let you see it with your own eyes."
"Plop" sound.
Xiaosi's knees weakened and he knelt in front of Mo Chuan, kowtowing "dong dong dong".
"What are you doing?" Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"Xiaosi begs the emperor to spare my slave's life." Xiaosi kowtowed and said.
"Spare my life? Where do you start talking about this?"
Xiao Si said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, if you issue this decree, the Emperor will be happy for you, but the Queen Mother will find the slave's head right away. The Queen Mother will definitely blame the slave for not doing his duty to the best of his ability, so that the Emperor did what he did. Such a ridiculous thing, the Queen Mother will definitely beat the slave to death this time, please forgive the slave for the sake of serving the emperor for so many years. "
As he spoke, he felt sad, and his face was covered with tears and runny nose.
Although the stick wound on his buttocks last time did not hurt any vital points, it was just a flesh wound. It still left him lying on the bed, unable to get off the ground for three days, and it was difficult to even turn over.
He never wanted to suffer such a sin again.
"Xiao Si, you worthless guy, stand up for me! How are you crying! What does it have to do with you if I appoint her as an official? How can the Queen Mother blame you! You think the Queen Mother and you are Are you a fool who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong? My mother is reasonable, kind and wise, and will never let this happen. "
As soon as Mo Chuan finished speaking, he heard a voice outside the study door.
"Before the Aijia arrived, I heard the emperor praising the Aijia. What happened?"
There was a hint of softness in that majestic voice, and a faint smile could be heard.
It was Queen Mother Zhou.
It turned out that Queen Mother Zhou had arrived outside the door at some unknown time, and she might have heard their conversation clearly.
Xiaosi couldn't help but trembled all over, his face suddenly turned pale, and he lay on the ground unable to get up.
"Why don't you open the door for your mother?"
Mo Chuan gave Xiaosi a weak kick on the butt, and Xiaosi woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly got up and went over to open the door.
Empress Dowager Zhou held Su Jin's hand and stood outside the door with a smile on her face. She looked at Mo Chuan with a smile and did not notice Xiaosi's pale face.
She specifically asked the guard guarding the door not to make any announcements, so as not to disturb Mo Chuan.
