As soon as the news came out, although everyone had expected it, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still quite dissatisfied, and there were constant objections. However, these voices were suppressed by Emperor Jing'an, who said that he had informed the four ancestors of the matter. Not only did Liezong receive permission, but he also received the approval of Emperor Zhenwu. It’s not your turn to object.
Immediately afterwards, he ignored the objections of hundreds of officials.
A ceremony for the canonization of the Crown Princess was held.
Of course, Qu Jie had to help at this time. Qu Jie used holographic projection to play various auspicious signs during the canonization ceremony, and appeared in person to express his approval. Then the imperial mausoleums of the four late emperors suddenly became bright, although the four late emperors did not appear. , but each one was given one thing.
At the same time, the Ziwei star shines, reflecting the Beidou.
Under the influence of such visionary blessings, ancestors' approval, and gods' approval, most people, no matter how dissatisfied they are, can only temporarily press down. It has long been known to everyone that Emperor Zhenwu is efficacious. The four ancestors It wasn't the first time that a spirit had appeared, and they didn't think that quacks and sorcerers could fake such a magnificent scene.
So since everything is true, how can they object and what can they use to object? They can only admit it!
At least the people in the capital and the civil and military ministers.
Basically no one is bothering to object.
But as the news spread, some people in remote areas, who had been gearing up for a long time and secretly prepared, said that they had not seen it with their own eyes and did not believe it at all, and then launched their troops without hesitation.
And was quickly suppressed and killed.
With Qu Jie's full help, their every move could not be hidden from Emperor Jing'an. Therefore, Emperor Jing'an had been prepared many years ago and even sent many people to lurk in the feudal king's premeditated rebellion.
The custody told them that there would be no return if they resisted.
Then, of course, we would take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive cleansing of the lawless lords across the country.
Qujue was beheaded, and more than a thousand people were imprisoned.
At this point, the issue of establishing the emperor's daughter was finally finalized. Although there was not no opposition from all over the country, at least the voices were much less. At the same time, no one used this as an excuse to start a large-scale rebellion.
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, many ministers immediately changed their thoughts and directions. Instead of urging Emperor Jing'an to adopt an heir, they began to urge the crown princess to marry her husband.
It is true that ordinary people only need to be urged by their parents and relatives to get married and have children. The emperor, princes and daughters, in addition to being urged by their parents and relatives to get married and have children, also have to be urged by the civil and military officials of the dynasty, which fully proves what it means for an emperor to have no family affairs.
But this time, Emperor Jing'an had nothing to resist. He even enthusiastically helped his daughter collect information and made an order to select handsome men from all over the country.
The Crown Princess was too shy to have a harem, so in the end the matter was cancelled.
He just carefully selected and married an imperial husband.
As well as two ladies and noble husbands.
The imperial concubine's position is equal to that of the head wife. The imperial concubine is comparable to the crown princess before she ascends the throne, and is comparable to the empress after ascending the throne. The noble husband is similar to the concubine and wife of the common people. After ascending the throne, she can basically be equal to the fourth concubine of the past emperor.
With the official wedding of the Crown Princess, Emperor Jing'an soon began to care about when she would give birth to a child, and specially dispatched an entire team of imperial doctors to serve, for fear that the Crown Princess would be plotted or have an accident when she gave birth.
This was also an important factor that prevented many ministers from establishing a daughter-in-law for Emperor Jing'an. After all, there is no risk of childbirth for men. But with today's medical level, it is a bit exaggerated to say that women have a near-death life after childbirth, but the high mortality rate is not a problem at all. Think about it, what if the empress died in childbirth two years after she ascended the throne?
Then the emperor will hang up the curtain, isn't that going to cause trouble?
Even the emperor's husband usurping the throne is very possible, and the probability is definitely much higher than the probability of the queen usurping the throne.
Emperor Jing'an made his second daughter Princess Ping'an of Zhenguo. In fact, he was also worried about this, thinking that if something happened to his eldest daughter, or even if there was no accident, she would need to be confinement after giving birth.
Princess Pingyang of Zhenguo can at least serve as the regent in the past and help manage the government affairs a little bit.
So as not to let the imperial power fall by the wayside.
There is basically no solution to this problem. After all, there is no technology to make the imperial husband pregnant. The most we can do is order the imperial doctors to study more medical skills in maternal fertility.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess herself did not want to have more children and stopped having children after giving birth to two daughters. Secondly, she had Qu Jie to protect her, so the birth process was not dangerous and she recovered well after the birth. If there were only two daughters in the past, ministers would definitely continue to press for it, but after all, now that the crown princess has appeared, having only two daughters can still be the crown daughter-in-law.
What happened so far is basically over.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial concubine actively participated in politics and encouraged women to study. Although the imperial examination for women has not been officially launched for the time being, some talented women have been promoted through the imperial examination and other systems. In addition, if you feel you have the ability, you can go directly to the imperial concubine's residence and participate. Assessment accordingly.
If you pass the assessment, you can also be appointed.
All in all, the power of the crown princess gradually began to expand, and a large number of talented women participated in politics. However, in reality, the beneficiaries are mainly aristocratic families. After all, ordinary people are unable to provide for their sons to study, so how can they afford another daughter? Only the daughters of aristocratic families may be qualified to study and become talented women.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The gap in education can only come about slowly.
Many men become sad and complain about the unfairness of the world. They were born in the wrong era and did not catch up with the good times of the past. In the past, they only had to compete with their brothers in the family. If there were no other brothers in the family and only a single child, they could be more comfortable and at ease. , don’t worry at all.
As a result, I still have to compete with my sisters now. It's good that I can win, but it will undoubtedly be even worse and embarrassing if I can't.
This is still an internal competition for their own resources.
Externally, although only some talented women currently occupy a few official positions, it does not take much to think about it. It is inevitable for women to take the imperial examination. The difference is just a matter of sooner or later. Therefore, in the future, they will undoubtedly have to compete with all the women in the world who are capable of studying. .
It is basically equivalent to doubling the number of competitors. Even if it is less than twice as many, there are still 70% to 80% more competitors.
How difficult the days ahead are.
One can imagine how fierce the competition is.
Of course, these do not affect the passage of time, nor do they affect the fact that capable and ambitious women have risen to the top one after another, made achievements that are not inferior to or even surpassed some men, and gradually obtained titles, not only limited to county heads or Female titles such as County Lord.
As long as there is meritorious service, he will be conferred the title of viscount or earl.
In the 40th year of Jing'an's reign, Emperor Jing'an felt that his body was getting weaker. In addition, considering that his daughter was almost forty, he could not let her be the princess all the time. Moreover, he was also worried that he would do something stupid as he got older. matter, so he finally decided to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.
In the same year, the imperial concubine ascended the throne and was promoted to Shansheng.
He appointed his eldest daughter as the Crown Princess, his second sister as Princess Pingyang, the regent of the Zhenguo, and the other sisters were all Princesses of the Zhenguo. The Zhenguo here mainly means that they can open a mansion like the princes in the past and enjoy all the prince's privileges.
You can even control the military, participate in political power, etc.
Immediately following these awards was the first decree issued by the Good Saint Empress after she proclaimed herself emperor, launching the imperial examination for women.
A new era has begun.
