Acquired in civil and martial arts and the royal family, this is talking about a man.
As for women, even if we trace the long history and search through the pages of history books, we can only find a handful of female generals when we catch up with the turbulence of the times.
As for female civil servants... Sheng Yuan felt that maybe her knowledge was shallow, because she really had never heard of any woman who could stand upright in the court and discuss political affairs before the birth of New China.
Therefore, when her father happily described the beautiful vision, not only her mother couldn't help but laugh at herself, but she also felt it was unrealistic.
Of course, mentioning the women's imperial examination is still a bit far away. After all, the Imperial College has not yet mentioned the establishment of a female school.
But even so, this wave of information also caused a ripple effect in the capital.
People in the capital, men, women, old and young, different classes and different groups of people reacted differently.
But the one with the most unstable mood was Emperor Chengyuan who threw the stone that caused a thousand waves.
He was currently sitting on the couch in the side hall of Lanzheng Hall and sighing.
It has been five or six years since Chu conquered Qi. He originally thought that after unifying the Central Plains, he would be able to point his sword at the grassland, but he did not expect that there would be a problem with the integration of Chu and Qi.
The folk customs of Da Chu are strong and strong, and the social atmosphere from top to bottom imitates the Han and Tang Dynasties. Women are whipping their whips and men are cheerful. Even visitors from outside the vassal state can't help but yearn for it when they see the grand scene of the capital. Although aristocratic families still exist in the territory of Da Chu, they can pass through the imperial examination for hundreds of generations. , the trend of decline of the family is unstoppable, and it should be a trend of prosperity no matter how you look at it.
But he never imagined that even if the Daqi royal family could not find a single person, it could still use its incompetence to drag Dachu down.
Thinking of the troubles, Emperor Chengyuan couldn't sit still and wanted to go to the harem to find someone close to talk to.
It is a pity that in the past few years, because of the previous grievances, there were only ten old people in the palace. The queen who could talk to him was like a stranger to the former prince because of him.
At this moment, when he looked back at the harem, he suddenly discovered that behind the luxury of the bright tiles, red walls, and the singing of orioles, there was desolation everywhere.
After counting carefully with his fingers, Emperor Chengyuan walked slowly towards Concubine Wen's Ning'an Palace.
When Concubine Wen heard that the emperor was coming, she couldn't help but be surprised: ever since the crown prince changed his position and the dust-laden palace secrets were revealed, the emperor only liked to talk and laugh with the young concubines. It was difficult for them, the concubines who gave birth to princes and princesses, to see him. .
Unexpectedly, he would set foot in Ning'an Palace today, which made Concubine Wen unhappy but worried.
Probably sensing Concubine Wen's alienation, Emperor Chengyuan put down the teacup and sighed slightly: "The concubine is like a counselor to me. When the Empress Yuan was there, she once said that the concubine has the talents of a royal assistant. I thought that you wasted your time in the palace because of my mistake. I think you blame me for coming." It’s excusable.”
Emperor Chengyuan spoke sincerely, but Concubine Wen felt a shiver run down her spine when she heard it. Thinking of the fact that she still had two ungrown daughters under her knees, even though she was sneering in her heart, she also expressed panic and apology on her face, saying that she would have the opportunity to accompany you. You are already a great blessing. You are so kind and it is too late to cherish the blessing. How can you blame me?
What she said was also extremely sincere, and the unfamiliarity in her conversation gradually disappeared, which actually made Emperor Chengyuan want to talk.
Concubine Wen had an idea in the blink of an eye, and an idea in every breath, but after thinking for a moment, all her thoughts were temporarily suppressed.
She listened to the end with a blank expression. Emperor Chengyuan sighed and complained: "Daqi is closed and closed-minded, like a puddle in a garden. Without running water to wash it, duckweeds and beetles are already overgrown. It is supposed to be destroyed and then established, but we don't want to Qi Qi. The situation is so powerful that the big names in Da Chu are also ready to move, with hidden intentions of joining forces."
Concubine Wen looked at the emperor who kept sighing, and couldn't stop laughing in her heart.
She was told that when he swallowed Qi, he should have taken advantage of the chaos to break up the Daqi family and wipe it out. If the emperor could use half the harsh methods on Daqi as he did on the princes and concubines, he wouldn't be so troubled.
Emperor Chengyuan naturally didn't know what Concubine Wen was thinking, and was still complaining endlessly: "The trend of women with small feet in Daqi has spread to Dachu. If I hadn't repeatedly issued orders to put an end to it, and issued strict laws and increased taxes on this kind of behavior, I'm afraid it would have happened." Swallow the entire land, and all the Chu will be destroyed."
Concubine Wen was quite touched by what she said, and her leisurely enjoyment of watching the excitement was somewhat reduced.
Emperor Chengyuan rubbed his head and sighed: "I have the intention to unite and bring the style of Chu to Daqi, but King Jing is so stupid that he ignores the inheritance of the country for his own selfish reasons and wants to use the public family of Sheng to cause trouble. Fortunately, the three members of the Sheng family Son, be careful, otherwise my inspection tour to Qi will be carried out by secret hands! At that time, the queen and the prince were only slightly affected, and I was afraid that the great Chu Kingdom Zuo would not be able to continue, and my descendants would go to the royal family of Great Qi and become puppets of the aristocratic family. "
The more Emperor Chengyuan talked, the angrier he became, and in the end he called the eunuch in charge of the imperial edict to draw up a decree to move the surrounded King Jing to the outskirts of the capital.
Only then did he take a breath.
Of course, he has nothing to say at this moment.
The original depression was gone, and he happily rewarded Concubine Zuwen and walked away.
The emperor came and left suddenly, and Concubine Wen's mood was quite disturbed.
"Send this wax pill to Manfu Palace." Concubine Wen was in an excited mood. She wrote a note with her left hand, sealed it with wax, called her confidants to explain, and then sent off to deliver the letter.
Empress Qin of Manfu Palace burned the note and then sat on the couch in front of the window, leaning her cheek and thinking.
After a long time, he called his confidant Nanny: "Please arrange for two copies of the great Confucian's handwriting that I collected in the past to be copied out. After His Majesty's imperial edict is clear, send it to Xun'er and give it to his two precious daughters."
Sheng Yuan didn't know yet that the heavy reward was coming. She was eating the melon with relish at the moment.
Her father said that the emperor planned to correct the bad habits brought by the Daqi family and curb the aristocratic families that were about to move. The specific method was to use the women of Qi as a breakthrough, and wanted to achieve the purpose of destroying the Qi culture by completely breaking the rules of Daqi.
Her father also said that in order to seize the throne, King Jing, who had been deposed as a commoner not long ago, teamed up with the Qin family and used the Liang family of the Chang family to induce her father to set off firecrackers during the curfew, thus giving them time to take action against the governor of Qi. In this way, the governor and censor who had a strong alliance could be eliminated, and the queen and prince could be framed. This plan of killing two birds with one stone was simply not a good idea.
Her father finally lamented, saying that when the emperor opened a school for women, he would inevitably use female officials. If the difficulties could be overcome to open the imperial examination for women, the number of female officials must not be small. After all, this is the power reserved by the emperor for himself.
At the end, she was probably so happy that her father was about to dance for joy and said with excitement: "Xin'er's strength alone is weak after all. If there is hope for women to take the imperial examination, all three of our children will have hope to gain a foothold in the court. By then, we will Then you can enjoy your happiness even more!"
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan suddenly realized: Her father was so happy probably because of those last words!
She slightly spurned Mr. Sheng's idea that he didn't seek to improve himself, but wanted to stop his children from salting fish.
Perhaps because the thoughts active in her cerebral cortex at the moment were inconsistent with the purpose of the system, the system that was originally dormant and upgraded actually popped up in Shengyuan's mind like fireworks.
[I advise the host to do this: when the rooster crows at midnight, read until dawn. 】
Shengyuan:? ? ?
What? Is it because she can't count, or has the system just finished filling in the rooster's crow in the middle of the night?
It's obvious that he doesn't want her to sleep!
