When the scholars saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt on the ground together, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is angry, but the grass people don't dare!" ”

Looking at this group of scholars kneeling in front of him, Yang Gao was still angry, his face was low, and he said coldly: "This imperial examination is absolutely open, fair and fair, as for why you can't compare to a woman, it can only show that you yourself are not capable." To this day, he dares to gather around here to make trouble, which is really a shame on the face of the reader! What are you still doing here? Why don't you get through it and go back to study hard? ”

Qian Yiqian, who was the leader of the group of scholars, hurriedly stood up, took two steps forward, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! The imperial examination is unfair, such a thing is indeed that we are angry for a while, and I hope that Your Majesty will calm his anger. It's just that the grass people and others hope that His Majesty can cancel the results of Fu Xiang who disguised himself as a woman to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise, the grass people and others will never go back! ”

When Yang Gao heard this, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he stared at Qian Yiqian and said, "You dare to threaten me? ”

"The grass people don't dare!"

Qian Yiqian hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that the grass people don't want the imperial examination system, which was originally beneficial to the country and the people, and was respected and praised by thousands of students, to be trampled by a woman!" ”

Yang Gao glanced at Qian Yiqian coldly, and said: "I remember that there is no article in the imperial examination system that prohibits women from participating, so Fu Xiang also relied on his own ability to get excellent results, and there was no fraud, why did I cancel her results." ”

Qian Yiqian's face changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty plans to keep this woman?" As far as the minister knows, this woman's grades are indeed excellent, if there is no accident, she will definitely be one of the top three, and when the time comes, according to the rules set by His Majesty, won't this woman be able to enter the court as an official? ”

Yang Gao snorted coldly disdainfully: "Why not?" ”

"Your Majesty, by all means?"

Hou Fangyu, another leading scholar, also stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to enter the court as an official since ancient times, and this move is very different from the etiquette system!" I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Yang Gao said lightly: "There has never been a precedent, and it was initiated by me." Although the ritual system was created by the great sages of the ancestors, there must be a mistake in the wise man's thousand thoughts, and there will inevitably be mistakes in it. ”

"Your Majesty, how can the rules of the ancestors be modified without authorization?"

Qian Yiqian and Hou Fangyu shouted together to dissuade: "If Your Majesty really changes the rules of the ancestors, the country will not be a country!" ”

"Ancestors are also human beings! It's inevitable that people make mistakes. ”

Yang Gao ignored Qian Yiqian's persuasion at all, and said in a deep voice: "All things in the world, living beings in the world, the sun, moon and stars, everything is changing all the time, why can't the rules of the ancestors change?" King Wuling of Zhao modified the old customs of the Central Plains, and rode and shot in Hufu, which was one of the seven heroes of the Warring States period later. ”

Hou Fangyu argued: "At the beginning, King Zhao Wuling changed the ancestral system to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but what is the purpose of His Majesty's change of the ancestral system today? What role can a group of women do to the court? ”

"Who said that women can't serve the court and contribute to the country?"

Yang Miaozhen was immediately furious when she heard this, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide, and she grinned: "Although I, Yang Miaozhen, am also a woman, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, practicing marksmanship hard, and thirty or fifty guards don't want to get close on weekdays. Besides, this Miss Fu in it, don't you also compare all of you with a female stream? ”

Yang Gao bowed his head and said: "What the imperial sister said is very reasonable. Don't underestimate women! Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that in this dynasty, there is a chivalrous girl Mu Guiying in Qingzhou, who is strong in martial arts, and once saved the name of Princess Yicheng. Besides, Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning, although she is the daughter of a traitor, she can fight well and make great achievements for Li Yuan! ”

Qian Yiqian raised his head and said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, if a woman can also study and become an official, where will we scholars be placed?" If Your Majesty really insists on going his own way and forcibly revises the ancestral etiquette law, the grass people are worried that Your Majesty will lose the hearts of the world's scholars! ”

Yang Gao smiled slightly and said, "I thought that the world's scholars would not be so narrow-minded. As the saying goes, my fair lady is a gentleman! Do you hope that in the future, there will be a lady who is knowledgeable, dignified and beautiful and can fight against your poetry and raise your eyebrows? Or a lady who doesn't understand anything and can't talk to you all day? ”

Qian Yiqian was silent, but Hou Fangyu still quibbled with a tough attitude: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that women are just men's subordinates, how can they be compared with men... ”

Syllable!

Before Hou Fangyu's words fell, Yang Miaozhen had already rushed forward, slapped Hou Fangyu's white and clean handsome face, and shouted angrily with his lips: "Dare to talk nonsense to your aunt and grandma again, and your aunt's big-eared melon seeds will be sucked to death!" ”

Yang Gao's face was also gloomy, he had said so much, but Hou Fangyu was still stubborn in his old principles, it seemed that it would not work at all to reason with a scholar like Hou Fangyu.

Thinking of this, Yang Gao no longer hesitated, waved his hand to the guards behind him, and said: "These scholars gathered in the Hanlin Courtyard to make trouble, blatantly violating the laws of the imperial court, and it is understandable that they are excited for a while, so I will not investigate their crimes. Blow it all away for me. ”

"Yes!"

Several guards responded, and they all stepped forward to drive Qian Yiqian, Hou Fangyu and the others away.

Qian Yiqian and Hou Fangyu were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, we are all scholars, how can you treat us like this?" ”

After Yang Gao ascended the throne, he revised the method of selecting guards. The palace guards are no longer the children of the family who embroider their fists and legs, but the elite selected from the army.

The guards who came out of the army always had a ruthless energy, and when they saw a few soldiers shouting frantically and refusing to leave, they immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths and said viciously: "Get out of here, if you don't roll, I will chop you with a knife!" ”

Seeing that a few guards actually drew their swords and faced each other, Qian Yiqian and a few scholars from Fangyu were so frightened that they didn't even need to urge at this time, and they all ran away in the blink of an eye.

After a few scholars were driven away, Yang Gao looked back at Yu Yunwen and said with a smile: "Yu Aiqing, let's go with me to meet this strange woman!" ”
