The happy life of a prodigal

But......

This is helpless.

Especially for the imperial power, the existence of the Jinshi Department consolidated the interests of the gentry, so it also consolidated the interests of the imperial power.

He understood everything Fang Xiu said, but if he really wanted to put it into practice, it would not only affect the gentry, but also the authority of the royal family.

Fang Xiu obviously understood this too.

When he saw some changes in Emperor Chu's expression, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I just made a small suggestion. If Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, I will never mention it again!"

"Hey......"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he sighed, and said slowly: "I don't have a few days left to live, if you want to do the women's imperial examination, go ahead.

As for the division of the imperial examination... I will talk about it later. "

This statement is neither completely vetoed nor affirmed.

Fang Xiu understood what this meant.

Even Chu Huang himself was not sure what the reform of the imperial examination would bring.

Do the pros outweigh the cons, or the cons outweigh the pros...

These are all things that are still unknown.

That's why Emperor Chu assumed such an ambiguous attitude.

The Emperor of Chu sighed leisurely, looked at Fang Xiu, and said: "Fang Xiu, I will not ask about this matter. How to implement it, how to implement it, you can discuss it with the three elders of the cabinet and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he took a deep breath, and instantly felt a lot of burden on his shoulders.

He bowed deeply and said: "The minister accepts the decree!"

"I'm tired, you go down..."

Chu Huang rubbed his brows, looking a little tired.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu didn't bother the Emperor of Chu any more, but cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, leave!"

After he left the Nuan Pavilion, he stood in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking at the blue sky outside.

He took a deep breath.

He had just solved the problem of the combination of land and Ding, but he found himself in a big trouble again.

I really don't know if it's good or bad.

Hey......

In fact, at the beginning, he really just wanted to live a life of eating and waiting to die, but the more he saw, the more he thought about it, and he couldn't turn a blind eye anyway.

not to mention......

This is the case in Chu State, he has played everything he can play, and watched everything he can see.

The next thing I can do is to travel around the world.

It would be better to do more for the state of Chu, or the emperor of Chu and the people of the state of Chu, before that.

This imperial examination reform is the most important part.

The reform of the imperial examination was successful, and Chu State would naturally go on the right track without his intervention in the future.

If the reform of the imperial examination fails...

That just shows that the gentry, common people, scholars, and emperor have reached a balance, which cannot be easily destroyed in a short period of time.

That being the case, there is no need for him to stay here anymore.

In other words, he has a clear conscience.

At that time, maybe I will leave here, go find that adventurer Charlie, stroll around, and take a look at the scenery.

After all, he has been a man for two lives, and he has never left this land.

Fang Xiu sighed, a firm look reappeared in his eyes, and walked towards the cabinet.

In the main hall of the cabinet, the three cabinet elders are all in the same room.

The house is naturally heated.

Other than that, it is no different from the Snappers.

After all, it is the place where the three elders handle the memorials, so it is not a big deal if the specifications are higher.

"Guard elders, Xin'an is here."

Fang Xiu stood outside the main hall, so someone would naturally inform him.

"Honor Xin'an? Please come in."

"Yes, my lord!"

Fang Xiu walked into the main hall, looked at the three gray-haired elders, stood upright, and saluted.

"This junior has met the three elders."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing what he said and seeing his performance, the three of Yan and Zhuang panicked.

Who is this Xin Anhou?

Where do they not know?

To be able to call himself a junior, and to be so polite, and to have met three elders.

If it is said that there is nothing, it is impossible for them to believe it no matter what!

"Cough cough..."

Yan Zhuang's expression was serious, he looked at Fang Xiu, thought for a while, and said tactfully, "What happened to Marquis Xin'an?"

Chapter 664 Depressed elders

Fang Xiu: "..."

What do these old guys think of themselves?

Feelings have not caused trouble, so you can't come to them?

What does this mean?

"Cough cough..."

Fang Xiu coughed twice, looked at the three old guys, frowned, and asked, "Isn't there even a cup of tea and a chair in Nuo Da's place?"

Seeing this arrogant and domineering appearance, the three elders all heaved a sigh of relief.

Is this the Marquis of Xin'an?

"There are, there are, and I'll get them now."

Naturally, someone next to him brought chairs and tea.

After Fang Xiu sat down, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "This time, I have two matters to discuss with the three elders."

When the three elders heard this, they looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. After thinking about it, they said, "I don't know what Marquis Xin'an wants to discuss?"

In the past, everything was discussed in the Nuan Pavilion in the presence of His Majesty, but this was the first time to discuss matters with Marquis Xin An alone.

Several people seemed a little inexplicable, not knowing what happened.

Fang Xiu coughed, put down his teacup, and said slowly: "Your Majesty and I have talked for a long time before, and I think it is possible to set up a women's imperial examination. I don't know the three elders. What do you think?"

Women's imperial examination! ?

When the three elders heard this, they were startled for a moment, and then their expressions became very shocked.

It's fine for women to stay at home with their husbands and children, and it's fine to study. No one will care about them.

But... take the imperial examination! ?

This...how is this possible! ?

Yan Zhuang showed a serious expression, and wanted to directly veto it, but he thought that this was not just Xin Anhou's opinion, and His Majesty also put forward some opinions in it.

He thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty came up with the women's imperial examination?"

"No."

Fang Xiu told the truth.

These are all Ge elders, even if he lied, they can still go to the emperor to verify it, which is meaningless.

Hearing that the emperor didn't come up with it, the three elders were visibly relieved.

As long as it's not His Majesty's opinion.

If His Majesty is determined to set up this women's imperial examination, then these old fellows will really have a hard time riding a tiger.

Since His Majesty didn't come up with it, there is only one answer.

This is the meaning of Xin'anhou.

Although they didn't know why Xin'an Hou suddenly thought of taking the "imperial examination" part, they still answered.

"Marquis Xin'an, this imperial examination is no small matter, it can't be changed if you want to."

Just as Yan Zhuang opened his mouth, Fang Xiu interrupted him.

"Of course I know about this, but could it be that the strategy of combining the two together is a trivial matter, so it can be changed at will?"

"This......"

When the elders of the pavilion heard this, their hearts 'thumped'.

Listening to Xin'anhou's tone, it seems that women's imperial examinations must be set up?

The elders looked at each other again.

It was Yan Zhuang who had a better relationship with Fang Xiu and said: "Marquis Xin'an, I know what you mean, but throughout the ages, where is the reason for women to study and women to participate in the imperial examination?"

Fang Xiu looked at him with a serious expression, and said what he had said to Zhao Yan before.

"It's always been like this, right?"

"..."

The elders didn't know what to say.

But Fang Xiu seemed to continue: "Let's talk about this strategy of Ding Heyi, I would like to ask some elders, if there is no such a strategy of Ding Heyi before, is he wrong?

Is it not good?

This land tax strategy has been implemented for so long, so it is right and good?

That being the case, why is it necessary to implement this policy of combining land and land? "

"This......"

Another elder at the pavilion frowned when he heard this, and retorted: "Marquis Xin'an's words are wrong. It is not up to the imperial court to decide whether a woman should help her husband and raise her children at home. Which parent in the world does not want their children How are you?

It is precisely because of this that the daughter is allowed to teach her husband and son at home, and the son is allowed to study and take the imperial examination, because this is their best destination.

Could it be that the experience that the common people have summed up over thousands of years is not as good as Xin'an Hou thought at the moment? "

"Ah......"

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little disdainful, he looked at him, and said: "What you said is nonsense, it is precisely because the parents of the world think so, that's why there are no girls who study.

But what if the parents of the world change their minds and let their girls study?

Are those women better off?

What's more, women's imperial examinations do not necessarily have to be the same as men's.

And, most importantly, you said that women should be husbands and children. There are so many female generals in the history books, are they not as good as men?

In addition, there are many, many more, even in today's palace, there are many female officials, without them, can the palace be maintained so well?
