Chapter 516: A Woman in Troubled Times

Zhao Chaozong summarized a large number of reasons, such as the situation that forces people, such things that concern the overall situation, and long-term considerations, and finally accepted Yan Yun's appointment as the prefect of Jingtai. In short, he was all public and had no personal feelings.

Unexpectedly, Li Hanyao asked Yan Zuo for his opinion again.

After Zhao Chaozong and Li Hanyao had a meeting in the capital, they thought they had seen through her essence, and were respectful, fearful and disdainful of her, and despised her, and were also wary of her. When they heard her asking for Yan Jun's opinions, they were full of doubts: Why did this girl just ask General Yan? Is there any conspiracy? He couldn't help but prick up his ears vigilantly, swallowing what he was going to say, and see how Yan Jun answered.

General Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, finally attracted attention from all over the world. Even Li Hanyao turned sideways, and faced various gazes, his expression was stiff.

He knew very well why Li Hanyao asked him because he lost to Yan Yun. No one knew Yan Yun's ability better than him. If he admitted it, he could refute Zhao Chaozong better than all his words; if he refused, he would remain silent... Then again, could he be able to refuse? Li Hanyao was eyeing him.

He doesn't say it, Li Hanyao must say it!

Yan Yun will not remain silent either.

Yan Qian couldn't help looking at Yan Yun.

Yan Yun was very calm.

Just now, Li Hanyao appointed her as the prefect of Jingtai. She was not secretly happy and was not angry when everyone strongly opposed it, as if everything was expected.

Yan Qian couldn't help but remember the conversation between the two at the bow of the boat.

Yan Yun said that although she learned the way of becoming an official from Liang Xinming, she never thought of becoming an official. However, her family was destroyed and her family was destroyed, and she gave her this "opportunity". In order to inherit her father's will, she wanted to become a general and a prime minister to shine on the family. He asked her why she didn't help Wang He but Li Hanyao. She said that Wang He could not help her become an official, but Li Hanyao could.

At that time, he understood her.

He believed that her ability was better than many men here, and he would be able to manage Jingtai Mansion well. For the sake of stability in Jiangnan, he should nod.

Yan Jun immediately made a decision. As a man, he was arrogant. He dared to admit it even if he was defeated by Yan Yun. Besides, he could not hide it for a while but for a lifetime. Sooner or later, this matter would spread. It would be better to admit it yourself.

He looked up at everyone and said solemnly: "Miss Yan has this ability!"

Zhao Chaozong jumped up and asked, "Have you defected to Li Hanyao too?"

Yan Qian shook her head and said, "No."

Zhao Chaozong said: "Then why did you help her?"

Yan Jun said, "Because--" He paused, and then said resolutely--"Just yesterday, the general led 20,000 naval troops to Jingtai Mansion, hoping to take advantage of the fact that Fan Dayong's deputy general Song Ping attacked the Li family's Taiping Workshop, the fisherman benefited, but was defeated by Miss Yan. Song Ping was also defeated and was introduced to the Tianqing Mountain Tiangui Peak by Miss Yan and killed him. Below was captured by Miss Yan and came to Xiazhao."

Dead silence, dead silence!

Officials such as Duan Cunrui were dumbfounded.

Huo Huangying and others were surprised.

Yan Yun nodded to Yan Xu, praising him for being open and honest. Facing everyone's eyes, she calmly responded and pressed the joy in her heart.

Zhao Chaozong looked incredible and asked Yan Chong: "Where are those imperial guards of Fan Dayong? Where are your navy troops?" Could it be that they were killed by Yan Yun and Hu Qiya? Zhao Chaozong felt a chill in his heart and a chill on his body.

Yan Jun said: "All were captured."

Zhao Chaozong said: "How do you capture so many people?"

Yan Qian looked at Yan Yun silently.

He also wanted to know why.

Unfortunately, Yan Yun didn't tell him.

Zhao Chaozong gritted his teeth and asked again: "Where is Hu Qiya?" When he thought of Yan Yun's design and Hu Qiya's execution, he created an unknown fire.

Yan Qian said: "It's still in Jingtai Mansion."

Li Hanyao's eyes turned, and everyone's reaction was all in sight. She smiled softly, interrupted the conversation between Hu Qiya and Yan Jun, pulled back the topic of deviation, and asked, "Miss Yan became the prefect of Jingtai, is anyone unwilling to accept it?"

Duan Cunrui and others were silent.

Obviously, Jingtai Mansion has been occupied by Yan Yun and Hu Qiya and has become Li Hanyao's territory. They will not accept it, but this does not mean that they support women as officials. If they can resist, they will never give in!

Duan Cunrui wanted to speak but stopped. He was cautious in his words and actions for things that he was not sure about, otherwise it would be annoying. He looked at Zhao Chaozong with hope. - Zhao Chaozong was not an official in Jiangnan, had a transcendent status, and was impulsive in his youth. Even if he spoke recklessly, it was reasonable. Li Hanyao would not blame him for Wang He.

Zhao Chaozong was about to agree, but Yan Jun inserted this section into the stanza. Seeing that the favor was disappointed, he hurriedly remedy: "Miss Yan is a master of Lord Liang, and his talent is extremely talented and we are convinced." The implication is that it would be impossible to replace someone else.

Duan Cunrui closed his eyes in despair.

What else does he have to say?

Accept your fate!

Yan Yun stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and said, "Thank you for your trust. Yan Yun will not let down Sister Li and you all trust."

Zhao Chaozong hurriedly said, "Sister Yan Er, don't thank you. This is what the second sister has won with her own abilities." He reminded Li Hanyao again: Yan Yun can be an official, but others can't think of it, don't make any trouble anymore.

Li Hanyao seemed to understand Zhao Chaozong's thoughts - no one else can do it? No, the only women she wants to appoint today is Yan Yun.

Women in troubled times should rise!

She first appointed Yan Yun, and there was a deep meaning in it: She calculated that Zhao Chaozong was helpless, and for the sake of Liang Xinming and Yan Ling, she would agree to sell Yan Yun with a favor and plan to instigate Yan Yun in the future; and Yan Jun, who lost to Yan Yun, wanted to hide it? He was a witness to Yan Yun's ability. Therefore, it was natural for Yan Yun to become the prefect of Jingtai. Yan Yun was recognized and got a good start. Can women such as Huo Huangying still stop him from becoming an official?

Today, she is going to set a precedent in history.

Today, it will surely be recorded in history!

She coughed lightly and then said, "Duan Lie is the magistrate of Jingtai County." After that, she looked at Duan Cunrui, as if asking for his consent.

Duan Cunrui and his son were both dumbfounded.

This is so unexpected!

Zhao Chaozong had just met Duan Lie, and knew that he was Duan Cunrui's son and was asking to marry Ouyang Weiwei. He was keenly aware of Li Hanyao's intention to win over the Duan family's father and son, and comforted the officials present, saying that she did not appoint anyone to be nepotist.

Zhao Chaozong first agreed.

Duan Cunrui nodded as he was busy.

Everyone else agreed.

Although Li Hanyao was in charge of the situation, they were not comfortable at this time. They had just dealt with so many officials and had a group of job vacancies. Both sides rushed to install their own people, and one could be installed.

They thought: Yan Yun had already been appointed as the prefect of Jingtai and Duan Lie was the county magistrate, so he would have put a chess piece next to Yan Yun, so that all the movements of Jingtai Prefecture could be passed on to Duan Cunrui, so as not to Yan Yun monopolize the power. Furthermore, compared with Yan Yun, who defeated General Jinghai, Duan Lie was indeed a little inferior. If it weren't for the troubled times, even the county magistrate would not be able to sit on it. Therefore, everyone recognized Li Hanyao's appointment.

If Li Hanyao had known this result, everything would be under her control. She smiled and glanced at everyone and immediately turned to the next issue.

She said: "Miss Liu is the chief weaving officer of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and Miss Ouyang is the chief historian of the Weaving Bureau..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

Unsurprisingly, it aroused a lot of opposition.
