Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Xiao Yao came back to her senses and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After getting up, Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Chen. The two siblings looked at each other, and Xiao Yao looked at Zuo Ruiyang and Xie Yanheng.

Zuo Ruiyang stepped out holding the imperial tablet, "Your Majesty, the case of Tao Wenjun at Jinzhou Yunshou Academy has been progressing slowly so far. I'm afraid we have to send someone to work better with Xie Fengjun."

Xiao Yao asked knowingly, "Tao Wenjun, who won first place in the imperial examination, is the only woman who has made it in the more than ten years since the emperor issued the decree that women can enter school. It is not easy for them to enter school, so they should be given special attention." After a pause, Xiao Yao asked, "Who does the Left Prime Minister think should be sent to what task?"

Zuo Ruiyang continued to hold the imperial hu tablet and said, "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Chaozong is the most suitable person to be sent as the Imperial Envoy."

Xiao Yao frowned slightly, then looked at Xie Yanheng, "I second the motion."

"I second the proposal."

Zuo Ruiyang was a very good person. After she ascended the throne, most of the ministers agreed with her on government affairs.

However, she was a little disappointed with Zuo Ruiyang. How could he really help Tao Wenjun with her affairs when he promoted such a taciturn boy and even secretly pulled back his own daughter's schooling?

Zhang Chaozong stepped out and knelt in the hall, "Your Highness Zhang Chaozong is willing to go to Jinzhou to assist Lord Xie Fengjun."

"Master Zhang, do you know the whole story of Tao Wenjun's case?"

"This morning, the left prime minister said something. As the emperor said, since Tao Wenjun is the only woman who has won the first place in the imperial examination in the past ten years, she should be treated fairly and justly."

Xiao Yao nodded, "Indeed, but she is trapped in a second marriage and seduced a scholar from the same academy. What do you think should be done about it, Lord Zhang?"

"This..." Zhang Chaozong looked at Zuo Ruiyang.

I only remember that the left prime minister said that the emperor was determined to improve the social status of women, "I will definitely do it myself, and will never wrong anyone, and will not let such a talented woman suffer!"

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Qing Chengshi considered it for a while, and stepped out, holding up the imperial tablet, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty values ​​talent, but in the case of Tao Wenjun, let alone her second marriage, if her character is tainted - do you still want to save her despite the public's complaints?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chaozong also had an expression of yes, this was not an easy task.

It’s fine for girls to go to school, but do they really want to pass the exam and serve in the imperial court?

"How did Lord Qing know that she must have bad character?" Xiao Yao asked calmly.

It was obvious that the emperor was unhappy.

The court was in complete silence.

Qing Chengshi pondered for a while and said gently: "There is no smoke without fire. I am just assuming..." If a woman enters the government or goes into business, who will take care of all the household chores in the backyard?

“Suppose!”

Xiao Yao only said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about hypothetical things." She stood up and pointed at the civil and military officials in the court, "Do you think that women should take care of their husbands and children and be confined to the harem?"

"We dare not." They all knelt down.

"I see that you all think the same way. I am afraid you will be unwilling to accept my sitting on this throne!"

"I dare not wait."

"Without women, how could there be millions of human beings? How could you stand in this court and give orders?"

"Today, I will tell you clearly that in Cangyun Country, my people, regardless of gender, should be equal!"

equality?

Does the emperor know what he is saying?

Qing Chengshi and other court officials thought they had heard wrongly.

Gender equality is as ridiculous as not distinguishing people from different classes. Qing Chengshi looked at Zuo Ruiyang, only to see him folding his hands, looking very calm. Xie Yanheng was the same.

It seems that the emperor summoned them yesterday and told them about this matter in advance.

Qing Chengshi lowered his head, and he would not stop her. After the emperor hit his head and broke his blood, and the social order was disrupted, she would turn back!

"Who has any objection?" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.

It is an unprecedented dragon power.

"I have no objection."

"I have no objection."

Xie Yanheng and Zuo Ruiyang bowed deeply and expressed their opinions loudly. The court officials who were related to their skills also bowed one after another, "We have no objection."

Qing Chengshi and others quickly followed suit, "We have no objection."

Xiao Yao looked at the kneeling court officials and did not let them stand up. Thinking of what Master Ding had taught her over the years, she thought that these people might be treating her like a good little cat!

She paced back and forth in front of the dragon throne, while the ministers in the hall remained kneeling.

For the first time, Tang An felt that he had to speak softly when he vented his anger. He glanced at Queen Sang, whose dark face and eyes looked murderous.

He had served the retired emperor at the morning court on behalf of Jian Shun, and he instantly became nervous.

"Your Highness."

"I'm here." Xiao Chen looked up in response, but did not look directly at his imperial sister.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Chen said: "Buddhism says that all living beings are equal, and Bodhisattvas do not distinguish between men and women. Taoism emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, and there are also female immortals such as the Queen Mother of the West, Dou Mu Yuanjun, and Mazu.

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it can be seen that it is in accordance with the will of heaven for women to go to school, enter the government, or enter business. "

"Well said!" Xiao Yao said loudly.

The ministers gritted their teeth secretly, their knees feeling a little unbearable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I think that if girls go to school and learn more, it will only benefit every family."

"Oh?"

"Compared to men, women spend more time educating their children. I believe that all the adults and the children of the noble families are well aware that women with insight and sensible minds can bring prosperity to three generations of descendants..."

"well said."

Xiao Yao smiled, and then let all the ministers stand up. At this moment, she understood why her father had placed all the military power in her hands before leaving the capital.

If she did not have absolute power, what she said to her brother today would probably cause a greater shock.

"What Your Highness said is exactly what I wish. Please go to Jinzhou and have a go."

"I will do my best."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yao sat down again, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The ministers looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Tang An looked at the emperor: Then adjourn the court?

Xiao Yao nodded.

"Retreat—towards the end."

"Long live my emperor."

It was not until Xiao Yao left that Qing Chengshi adjusted his official hat and looked at Zuo Ruiyang. "Your Majesty's idea is too——"

"Right Prime Minister, since the emperor has made up his mind to do something, we, as ministers, should do our best. If we fail to do it well or cannot do it, then it is because we, as ministers, are incapable."

Qing Chengshi: “…” No, if all these women became officials and went to school, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

"The Left Prime Minister is right. If you lack the ability, you can retire and resign." Xiao Chen said lightly as he passed by.

Qing Chengshi was stunned, and quickly bowed to Xiao Chen, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."

However, all Xiao Chen left him was his back.

Zuo Ruiyang, Xie Yanheng and others had already left. Qing Chengshi took a deep breath and walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with a few colleagues with whom he had a good relationship.

"Your Majesty, are you more powerful than the Emperor Emeritus?" Someone whispered in Qing Chengshi's ear.
