Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

A tall eunuch stood respectfully in the center. He took a deep breath, then tightly grasped a long whip in both hands and swung it hard.

The crisp and loud sound of a whip instantly broke the silence and echoed in the air.

Then he swung the whip again, and two sharp sounds rang out in succession, shaking people's hearts like thunder.

These three consecutive whip sounds seemed like a mysterious signal to start the court meeting, announcing the official start of a new day of government affairs.

At this time, the eunuch Su Peisheng, who was standing next to the emperor's throne, took a step forward and shouted at the top of his voice:

"If you have something to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court. Ministers, please submit your memorials!"

The voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the empty hall.

As he finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the originally silent court, and all the ministers straightened their clothes and prepared to report to the emperor.

Shen Meimei was sitting in the back, ruling from behind the curtain, but she wasn't very sure about the situation.

In the past, the emperor made all the decisions, but now that he was asked to take charge of government affairs, he felt somewhat scared.

Zhang Tingyu stepped forward and said loudly:

"I have a petition to impeach Henan Governor Tian Wenjing. Last year, when Henan suffered a flood, he did not report it to the court, but instead imposed heavy taxes on the people, causing public outrage in Henan. I demand that the main culprit, Tian Wenjing, be severely punished."

Although the fifth prince Hong Zhou had served as regent, he only helped ministers read memorials. This was the first time he actually sat in the Golden Palace and listened to ministers' discussions.

After Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Hong Zhou was a little undecided and turned back to look at Shen Meimei.

Shen Meimei knew in her heart that Tian Wenjing in history had indeed done such a ridiculous thing. She looked at the court and said behind her:

"In that case, please ask Mr. Tian to come out and defend himself. Is there a flood in Henan?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Tian had a leg illness today and asked for leave, so he did not come to court." Su Peisheng explained.

Shen Meimei nodded, "In that case, let's wait until Tian Wenjing's leg disease recovers before we discuss it. Zhang Tingyu, since this is an impeachment of Tian Wenjing, you should list a plan for handling it according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty and submit it to the emperor. Wait until the emperor wakes up before making a decision."

"Yes, I obey your order!" Zhang Tingyu bowed and saluted.

This time, someone muttered quietly, "What kind of world is this? It's not right to let women attend court."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Shen Meimei knew in her heart that as a woman in power, it would definitely cause an uproar in a patriarchal feudal society.

She was not in a hurry, but lifted the curtain, walked into the hall, stood beside the dragon throne, and stared at the people below with her sharp eyes.

For a long time, the hall was very quiet. Although they were not convinced, they did not dare to look up.

"I know that you are against me being the regent! You are worried that I am the Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Today, in front of all the civil and military officials, I tell you that I am staying here for the emperor.

You are tall and strong men, but you still discriminate against women. Without women, how can human beings be passed down from generation to generation? Before the emperor fell into a coma, he arranged for Zhang Tingyu, a university scholar, to promote new education and establish girls' schools across the country.

If women can also go to school and take the imperial examinations, those of you standing here may not be able to pass the examinations better than women. Zhang Tingyu, how are the rules for this matter being drafted?"

Zhang Tingyu blushed and knelt down to plead guilty. "I am guilty. I have not yet started to deal with this matter!"
