The purpose of establishing girls' academies is to enable girls to learn literacy and understand reason.

Those who excel in their studies can take the women's exam in the future. Even if they are mediocre in their studies, it is much better than being a blind person trapped at home all day. At least, they can go out of the house and see the vast world outside.

Especially for girls from ordinary families, who originally had no chance to read and write, now they have such an opportunity, which is a great opportunity to change their lives and destiny.

After several decades, there will be a large number of such women everywhere in Daliang. They will all be the most loyal subjects of Her Majesty the Empress.

Lu Zhen had no doubt that day would come. Because she was the first female official to come out of the civilian population. She knew her fanatical loyalty. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she would move forward without hesitation for the sake of Her Majesty the Empress.

Naming the academy is a small matter, but also a big matter. From the very beginning, it was completely stamped with the stamp of Her Majesty the Empress.

Jiang Shaohua looked at Lu Zhen approvingly: "Mr. Lu's suggestion makes sense. In the future, women's academies will be built one after another all over Daliang. They should have a unified name."

Then, he encouraged the students to think together: "You all think about what name the academy should be called."

Lu Zhen’s mind started working immediately.

Wang Shu and Li Fangfei were not willing to be left behind and also began to think hard.

Chen Jinyu looked at her subordinates who were working hard with satisfaction. With them, she felt much more relaxed. In the past, she had to think hard about this.

"How about calling it Jiang's School?" Li Fangfei suggested cautiously.

"Not appropriate." Wang Shu retorted bluntly: "It sounds like an academy run by the royal family. It's better to call it the Royal Girls' School, which is more majestic and domineering."

Lu Zhen also thought of one: "How about calling it Nanyang Academy?"

"The emperor was once the Princess of Nanyang, and everyone in the world knows it. Now the emperor has ascended the throne as the Emperor, ruling the world. The women's academy he founded should also have the mark of Nanyang County."

"From now on, all women's academies will be called Nanyang Academy's branch. For example, Ye County Women's College will be called Nanyang Academy's Ye County branch. In this way, all the women studying in women's academies will know that they are blessed by the emperor, and that they will be successful in their studies in the future and should serve the emperor and relieve his worries."

Her Majesty the Empress smiled slightly and nodded in approval: "Mr. Lu's suggestion is a good one, let's call it Nanyang Academy. I will write the plaque myself, and when the academy is completed, you will deliver the plaque on my behalf."

Lu Zhen's eyes sparkled and he bowed to accept the order.

Wang Shu and Li Fangfei looked at each other subconsciously.

The fact that Lu Zhen was the emperor's favorite was indeed related to her background. However, after spending the past few days with her, Lu Zhen was indeed very smart and could think through everything the emperor wanted to do.

They both need to work harder.

……

Li Fangfei moved closer to Wang Shu intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered privately: "Lu Sheren is the most favored by the emperor, and you and I are both inferior to him."

Wang Shu glanced at her and said, "Instead of being jealous, you should focus on the real work and figure out how to work hard and relieve the emperor's worries."

Li Fangfei: "..."

Li Fangfei was choked and felt very upset.

Wang Shu was also a wonderful person. He turned around and humbly asked Lu Zhen for advice.

Lu Zhen was young but very smart. He smiled and said, "You and Li Sheren are both from aristocratic families. I am a daughter of a country girl with limited knowledge. How can I know how to be a good official? I just stand on the emperor's side and think carefully about everything."

Wang Shu looked admiring: "I've learned a lot." Lu Zhen's attitude towards Wang Shu and Li Fangfei was similar. He was friendly on the surface, but cautious in his heart.

The three new servants were competing with each other secretly, but they appeared to be in harmony on the surface.

Chen Jinyu couldn't help but smile to the emperor and said, "Young people are really formidable. Look at them, they are much more powerful than when I was young. I just got here a few years earlier and have more experience and loyalty. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't suppress them."

Jiang Shaohua was amused: "Don't worry, you don't have to compete with them for favor. In my heart, no one can surpass you."

Chen Jinyu was coaxed into a happy mood.

"The three of them are right under my nose, nothing will go wrong." Jiang Shaohua said: "I wonder how the female scholars who went to the six ministries to observe government affairs are doing now."

Chen Jinyu immediately said: "I will go to the six ministries tomorrow to take a look."

As the emperor of Daliang, Jiang Shaohua had to stay in the palace and deal with complicated state affairs. It was inconvenient and he had no time to go to the six ministries, so it was appropriate for Chen Sheren to go on behalf of the emperor.

There are three new servants in the palace now. When she goes out for a day or two, the emperor will have someone to send her around.

The next day, Chen Sheren went to the Ministry of Rites first.

Dong Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites greeted him politely. There were 16 male and 3 female new Jinshi scholars assigned to the Ministry of Rites, a total of 19 people. The four departments of the Ministry of Rites were each assigned a few, and they just ran errands and did some trivial things every day.

The female Jinshi were waiting for orders just like the male Jinshi, without any special treatment. Chen Sheren looked around and got a rough idea.

Next, Chen Sheren went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. The situation was similar to that of the Ministry of Rites.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, all the female Jinshi were assigned to Tang Youyin. Minister Ji specifically ordered Tang Youyin to teach the female Jinshi well.

As for the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel, the female scholars had nothing to do.

Chen Sheren returned to the palace to report. Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Minister Dong knows what I want. I have great use for these female Jinshi candidates, so I should train them well. Minister Ding and Minister Yang are also trying to figure out my intentions and are acting in line with Minister Dong."

"Minister Ji assigned all the female Jinshi candidates to Tang Youyin. Although he was being lazy, there is nothing wrong with that. If Tang Youyin teaches them well, they may become capable officials in the future."

"Minister Zhou and Minister Zhang..."

Jiang Shaohua sneered twice: "For these two months, I will follow them. Anyway, the six ministries will rotate. After two months, the female scholars will change to another government office and learn slowly."

"They are both stubborn and recalcitrant. I will slowly deal with them in the future."

Chen Jinyu was also furious: "The emperor gave them face and promised not to change their official positions within three years. But they got excited."

"Your Majesty, please don't let them off easily in the future."

Minister Dai was a smart man who took the initiative to retire and vacate his position. Minister Zhou was ignorant and refused to leave, and Minister Zhang secretly opposed the emperor, which was simply a matter of life and death.

The emperor and his ministers were chatting when Qin Hu came in with a happy face and reported: "Your Majesty, Commander Song has brought his men back. They entered the city gate an hour ago and will soon be able to enter the palace to see the emperor."

Song Yuan is back!
He returned with the heads of the three traitors Zheng Chen, Zhao Wu and Lu Cheng.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed with joy: "Mr. Chen, please go to the palace gate to welcome me on my behalf." (End of this chapter)
