next day
When Chen Jue arrived at Zichen Palace, he looked down and took a breath of surprise.
"What are you—" Where did you get all this coal from?
Are they too dark?
Not only is he darkened, he is also noticeably thinner. No, it should be two or three times thinner.
After a day's rest from work, the ministers got up early the next day to go to court. At this moment, they weakly said, "Meet Your Majesty."
"Everyone loves you," Chen Jue said calmly as he faced a golden dragon chair.
All the ministers thanked him and stood up straight.
Then, many eyes turned to His Majesty's face. They wanted to see how His Majesty was feeling today through their own observations.
Otherwise, I might accidentally offend His Majesty with my words later and be thrown to work in the fields.
It was said that the imperial court felt sorry for the people who were too busy in autumn and asked them to help, but in fact it was punishing them.
Forget it, after they finished their work, it was His Majesty who received the thanks from the people!
Absolutely abominable!
Your Majesty did nothing and just gained the love of those people!
Some ministers were so angry that they wanted to give up their job, but Wei Wei, who was in charge of Jinwu, was simply a devil. He used the imperial edict to dominate and bless them, and he stared at them all.
well!
Thinking of those days of working in the fields, many ministers sighed directly and said to themselves: I hope your majesty will be in a better mood today, and by the way, talk less.
it is a pity.
They didn't see it.
An excellent emperor must be an excellent actor and not easily express his emotions, anger, sorrows and joys on his face.
Even if it appears, it may not be true.
Although Chen Jue is still not a very good emperor, his expression clearly expresses the "madness" of his original self.
Chen Jue sat on the dragon chair and leaned back leisurely as usual.
His face looked the same as usual, neither happy nor sad. After observing the officials, they couldn't find any flaws, so they had no choice but to give up.
Adhering to the principle of "talk less today, don't make His Majesty angry", the court was extremely quiet today.
It was so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the ministers.
"Um?"
After waiting for a while, there was still no word. Chen Jue looked down and asked, "Why are you so quiet today?"
"..." Don't dare to speak! We don’t want to help people farm anymore!
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." The first person to stand up was Liu Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, who was the new number one scholar. "I have a lot to say about the third question of the imperial examination. This is my excerpt. Please, Your Majesty." Read it once.”
Liu Zhong was also observing the ministers beside Chen Jue. When he heard this, he immediately bowed down and took Liu Yi's memorial and handed it to Chen Jue.
When Chen Jue took the memorial, he glanced at Liu Yi from the corner of his eye, then opened his memorial and read it carefully, while saying: "Tell me what you think."
"Your Majesty, I have a classmate who is also a friend, and he happens to know something about the case of a son-in-law in Yuezhou Prefecture."
That classmate happened to be childhood sweethearts with the merchant girl, and my classmate had been fond of the merchant girl for many years.
It's a pity that the fallen flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. The merchant girl doesn't like her classmates and friends. Later, when she learned about the merchant girl's experience, she always wanted to reverse their case.
Only then did he find Liu Yi, who had come to Beijing to take the exam.
Regarding this case, everyone has different opinions. Some people say that the adopted son-in-law was dishonest and ungrateful.
Others say that the merchant's daughter was at fault for being jealous, not allowing her husband to take concubines, and dominating her husband. If not for this, there would be no case like this.
However, Liu Yi didn't think so.
"Your Majesty, I think the biggest fault in this case is the fault of the merchant girl's parents. If the merchant girl's parents don't pamper her, telling her to be educated, literate, and sensible will not lead the wolf into the house."
Liu Yi paused for a moment and continued the topic just now, "The laws of our dynasty did not prevent women from being able to read, read and understand. What's more, during the period of Emperor Wen, Empress Wende also proposed to build a women's school so that women can read and write like men."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to restore the female education proposed by Queen Wende, so that all women in the world can read, write, and reason." Liu Yi finished in a cadence.
Regarding the matter of allowing women to read and write, other courtiers did not have any objections at the moment.
After listening to Liu Yi's words, the courtier who had a girl at home thought about it again and felt that this was indeed the truth.
Generally, aristocratic families have a husband, and those with girls in the family will also ask them to read and write.
Of course, in official families, women are more likely to be married for profit, so they must be well cultivated.
Otherwise, if something happens, it will not be a marriage but an enemy!
There are still many benefits to women's education and literacy. They will not refute this point, and even support the resumption of female education.
"What Liu Qing said makes sense." Chen Jue finished reading the memorial and put it on the table in front of him.
"As for the resumption of female education, it is somewhat similar to another idea I have."
He said: "I decide"
