Xiao Yuchen and his son had just finished the morning court and had a small meeting with the cabinet.
Their expressions were lighthearted.
Seeing Wen Jin full of energy and radiant, the father and son couldn't help but feel even more happy.
Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and held Wen Jin's hand, "Have you had enough sleep? Have you rested?"
Yu'er stepped forward and bowed, "We won the first battle against this plague, and my mother has done a great job. I will thank my mother on behalf of my father, the officials, and the people of Kyoto!"
Xiao Yuchen's face was embarrassed, "Wouldn't I be grateful myself? Why should I use you on my behalf?"
Yu'er chuckled, "I'm afraid that my father has something in mind, but he's too embarrassed to speak out."
Xiao Yuchen's face became even more embarrassed when his son said the central voice, "I and your mother are one husband and wife, what is there to be ashamed of? It's just that you are here..."
"Father is the role model for his subjects. In front of his subjects, father should not be ashamed to speak out!" Yu'er looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
Xiao Yuchen unknowingly was "fighted" by his son.
Oh, what a rush to say, if he doesn't thank you solemnly, why don't you get off the stage?
Xiao Yuchen cleared his throat, held Wen Jin's hand and said, "Thank you very much, Queen... regardless of past grievances, you stepped forward in this crisis, weathered the difficulties with me, Kyoto, and Daliang, turned the tide, and made outstanding contributions!" "
Wen Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw the father and son competing.
"Are you kidding me?" Wen Jin said with a smile, "I am a pragmatist, and mere verbal praise is not enough."
Yu'er nodded repeatedly, looking at his father with burning eyes.
Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "Whatever the queen wants, just ask!"
Wen Jin said, "I want the emperor to order the restoration of female education, encourage women to be independent and self-reliant, and oppose discrimination against women."
After Wen Jin finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Xiao Yuchen pursed his lips tightly, his expression a little embarrassed.
Wen Jin frowned, "Isn't this our consensus? The emperor promised me when he was in Qingcheng Mountain?"
What does his expression mean? Do you want to regret it?
Xiao Yuchen sighed softly, "I am not a person who goes back on my word, but... the mosquito problem has just been eliminated. The situation in Kyoto has just stabilized...
"Now the situation has calmed down. Immediately issue an order that is completely opposite to the previous one... I'm afraid it will cause another uproar.
"It makes it even more obvious that the government's decrees are like child's play, and the emperor's orders are like child's play."
Yu'er frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his father's statement.
Wen Jin lowered his eyes, "Is the Emperor worried about the disaster prophecies in "Apocalypse"?"
Xiao Yuchen nodded slightly, "There are also reasons for this."
Wen Jin smiled and said, "In this fight against the plague, the role played by female doctors, female officials, and even female 'volunteers' among ordinary people must have been seen by the emperor. The female doctors kicked out by the medical school , after receiving the recall order, no one refused to come without excuses.
"Don't they deserve to be seen, recognized and praised for their sacrifices regardless of life and death?
"At this time, isn't it the best time to overturn the previous judgment that excluded them and denied that they are also 'independent individuals'?"
Yu'er's eyes lit up, and he looked at his mother with admiration.
Xiao Yuchen pursed his lips and said nothing, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
Wen Jin kept up his efforts and said, "If we don't change the previous decree at this time, won't it make all women feel cold?"
Xiao Yuchen looked at Wen Jin with a deep look, "Jin'er, I understand everything you said. But the warning in "Apocalypse" is still in my ears. If you are so radical, I'm afraid a greater disaster will come."
Yu'er tilted her head and looked at his mother, his father...
He also felt that both of them seemed to make sense.
Mother, it is for this world. My father's consideration is also for the sake of this world.
Wen Jin was silent for a moment and laughed, "What if "Apocalypse" was a mistake from beginning to end?
"What if the author of "Apocalypse" is a male author who is patriarchal and does not consider the living space of women at all?
"Then are we not going to be led into the abyss by his prejudice? When the imperial court ordered to recall female doctors and use female officials, we had already declared war on "Apocalypse".
"When the emperor leads the troops, will he take the initiative to make peace now and cede territory and withdraw his troops?"
Xiao Yuchen was shocked.
Wen Jin's last comparison greatly shocked him, who had already made great achievements in the military at a young age.
Let him cede territory and withdraw his troops when he wins the first battle? It would be better to kill him.
But "Apocalypse" states, "The order of time and space is destroyed, starting with disaster...this time and space will eventually be destroyed."
From an overall perspective, it seems that temporarily "ceding territory and withdrawing troops" is a wiser approach.
Before Xiao Yuchen finally expressed his stance, Wen Jin's female official suddenly came quickly.
The female officer handed a booklet to Fengchun outside the palace, looking nervous.
Fengchun also changed his expression slightly.
Based on Wen Jin's understanding of the female officers under his command... something might have happened!
Could it be that the plague in Kyoto has changed again?
Wen Jin's heart sank, "Fengchun, come in and answer."
In the spring, he bowed into the palace, holding the booklet in his hand, "Information to the Emperor, the Empress, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Eagles from all over the country are passing the message. Now, in the military camps coming from Qi, as well as in the nine counties, there are people similar to Kyoto. plague."
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Present the booklet to Wen Jin in every spring.
Wen Jin opened it and saw that the female officer had compiled letters from flying eagles from various places. The rolled-up notes had been flattened and pasted on the booklet.
After Wen Jin looked through it once, he handed it to Xiao Yuchen.
Then it was handed to Yu'er's hand.
"Does the Emperor still think that disaster can be avoided as long as women's social status is not recognized and they are not allowed to leave the house?" Wen Jin asked.
Xiao Yuchen's face looked ugly.
However, Yu'er took a step forward and said, "I would like to inform my father, the emperor and my mother, that Kyoto has accumulated a lot of experience in treating this plague.
"Officials in various localities may lack experience. I am willing to personally lead Kyoto officials to go to the plague counties to jointly guide local officials and jointly respond to the crisis."
Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen, who had their own opinions, did not expect that their son would be willing to personally take people to the most dangerous place at this time.
Wen Jin frowned and said, "Yu'er, you are still young."
"Yes, for this matter, I will send experienced ministers from among the Beijing officials, so you don't have to go!" Xiao Yuchen also said.
The couple, who had differences just now, are now very united.
Yu'er cupped her hands and raised her head slightly, her gaze extremely firm.
"When my father was a teenager, he had already gone to the army. Where my son is going now, there is no danger of fighting on the battlefield.
"My son has been exposed to medicine and poisonous insects, snakes and ants since he was a child. I am not afraid of these.
"This time, my father, the emperor, and my empress were not in Kyoto, and when I took charge of the overall situation, I discovered that... although my father, the emperor, and my empress, they had laid a vast empire for me.
"But I have done nothing for myself. It would be better if there was peace and prosperity. If you want to hold on to this position and protect this country in the turmoil, it is very difficult!
"Instead of being in trouble in the future, it is better to do it now, when the father, the emperor, and the queen are still young and strong and can help my sons and ministers, so that my sons and ministers can make contributions and lay a solid foundation for the future!"
