"Don't go to Yunxiang Building! Let them go to the palace gate. Come or not, whatever they want. Sun thought about it, and was worried that someone from Cao Rong would be mixed in and hurt him or others, so he temporarily changed his attention and brought those who were stirring up trouble to the palace gate.

The chamberlain smiled and went to give the order, but he saw the faces of those people, blue and white. If you want the waiter to say, these people also deserve it. Where did they come from? He shouted to His Majesty to see them instead of asking for His Majesty, offending His Majesty and sinning against them. No, the surrounding people's impression of Sun Nian now is mixed. But most people think that His Majesty is benevolent. After all, judging from the previous decree on the promotion of military households and merchants, he can be regarded as a king who has the people in his heart. Otherwise, if you look at the kings of the past dynasties, where will they care about the life and death of military households and merchants? In response to these two decrees, those military households and merchants, although they did not know the intention of His Majesty to abolish the female ordination, still supported him.

It's like the big shopkeeper of Yunxiang Building, who has already thought of a way to slaughter these people who don't know the height of the sky, who told them to disrespect Your Majesty? But who knows, His Majesty made a temporary move and pulled them to the palace gate?

The big shopkeeper of Yunxianglou thought about it and decided that he should go and watch it in person, wave the flag for His Majesty, and extinguish the stupidity of these people.

Not to mention those military families and merchants who respect Sun Nian from the bottom of their hearts, they go to the palace gate in twos and threes.

But he said that Sun Nian took Jiang Wei and gathered twelve people from Jinghongwei, and led the white-armored guards to wait in front of the palace gate, which was very comfortable.

At this moment, Sun Nian was still dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, while except for Bai Ti, who was dressed in silver-gray, and the rest of the eleven people in Jing Hongwei were wearing strong suits in colors that matched their names, standing on both sides of Sun Nian in two teams. It all squeezed Jiang Wei, the first guard in front of the emperor, and had no place to stand.

Jiang Wei was not annoyed, and stood directly on the right side in front of Sun Nian, like a stake, so that Jing Hongwei couldn't tease Jiang Wei if they wanted to, so they had to give up with a sneer.

The so-called descendants of Ban Zhao include both the Ban surname and the Cao family, that is, the descendants of her husband's family.

Seeing Sun Nian, these dozens of people's faces were stretched as long as donkey faces, and then saluted Sun Nian and the others.

Sun Nian looked at their old faces impatiently and said, "Say it." What do you want to do? He didn't do what they had said when they questioned him.

The leader took a step forward, bowed not very respectfully, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the contemptible person is Ban Rong, the ninth grandson of the elder brother of Cao Jia (Ban Zhao). This is the Cao family, that is, the eighth generation grandson of the Cao family, Cao Fu. ”

"Hmm." Sun Nian was indifferent, he was not interested in who they were.

When Ban Rong saw this, he felt depressed in his heart, as if he had been insulted, but he didn't dare to come forward to insult him, and only said: "Today, we brought our clansmen to see Your Majesty because we wanted to ask Your Majesty for an explanation. ”

Sun Nian didn't want to say a word, just raised his eyebrows and looked at Ban Rong playfully.

Ban Rong gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty wants to abolish the female ring of the Cao family?" Don't Your Majesty know the value of women's rings for women? ”

"Precious?" Sun Nian sneered, "Where is the precious?" All I know is that for a woman, it is just a burden, a burden as heavy as a boulder. There is only heaviness, and it is filled with blue stones like those in a pit, where is the preciousness? ”

"Your Majesty is cautious!" Ban Rong and Cao Fu roared with hatred with red ears and red eyes, "Your Majesty insulted the words of your ancestors like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

"The ancestors in your mouth used the humiliation of the women of later generations to help her walk on the high platform that everyone looks up to, aren't you afraid that there will be women who will seek revenge after she dies!"

Sun Nian is also very angry, why? Because he remembered that his aunt was also reprimanded by Sun Nian's old man with a female ring, insulted and beat her, but he couldn't fight back. Later, when he was still young, he blocked his mother, so that he would not be killed by those old women. These days, because the female ring thinks of her mother, and sees the persecution of women in the world by the female ring, there is already a fire burning in her heart, and now these people are just pretending to be on the fire, can they not be hated by Sun Nian?

When she was alive, she was worthy of the respect of others as a widow, but no one persecuted her. If she has her husband in her heart, she does it, just to follow her wishes, and the excessive praise is hard to guarantee that it is not the Cao family and the Ban family. What she does is the freedom of the Cao family, but she can't pressure the people next to her and the women of later generations to be widowed like her. And, if the widow remembers correctly, she is in and out of the palace and participates in political affairs. Let's ask, this is completely contrary to the arguments of humility, husband-orientedness, and women's labor in the women's vows she made later. How do you explain this? Let's elaborate on the widow. ”

Ban Rong and Cao Fu were dumbfounded now, they didn't expect Sun Nian to be so eloquent. Moreover, what he mentioned is indeed inappropriate. However, they can't admit that they were killed. Otherwise, they are admitting what Sun Nian said, and their Cao family is selling their reputation!

So Ban Rong, who has always been a little witty, hurriedly defended: "What Your Majesty said, no one dares to admit it." Cao everyone went in and out of the court, but it was not for the holy order, and the king had an order, so he should do his best. How can you resent her? ”

"Humph! That's funny! Cui Ze, who came in a hurry, said with a loud laugh: "Entering and leaving the palace, naturally it can't be her fault." However, she was wrong, in order to show her fame, she deliberately wrote this female ring, saying that it was a demonstration for future generations. She is so smart, doesn't she know what the consequences will be after the female ring is released? Isn't it just that she is ruthless and ignores the fate of future generations of women. Also, compared with her longevity, what are the lives of those women? Cui Ze's eloquence is not much different from Sun Nian, and he immediately made Ban and Cao so angry that smoke rose above their heads, but "you, you, you" kept going.

At this time, Cheng Ling and Xiao Yu could no longer hold back the contemptuous eyes of Ban, Cao and their clansmen running over from time to time, the two glanced at each other, and immediately flew down. Others only saw two rainbow shadows, one orange and one green, and then saw two heroic female generals standing in front of Ban and Cao! I saw that they were all holding a sword in their hands, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at the throats of Ban and Cao, as long as the two of them moved, they would die on the spot.

Ban and Cao were dumbfounded, and they only cared about trembling and wanting to go back, but they heard Cheng Ling say coldly: "Don't move!" If I move again, my sword will move! ”

Looking at them, he thought it was very funny, and said, "I listened to your words, and I see that you seem to look down on women. But why do you respect that Cao family so much? Isn't she a woman? Now that you look down on women, I want to kill you and make you regret looking down on women when you die. The tricky and eccentric Qi Xiao said a bunch of tongue-twisting words, which made Cao Fu even more anxious and ashamed. Because he seemed to be in too much of a hurry to understand her.

Before the two of them could say anything, another red figure floated over, only a few sounds were heard, and the onlookers only felt that their eyes were full of black silk fluttering, and they were all stunned to think about what this was, until someone exclaimed, "Oh, this is the hair of those two people!" Then, everyone suddenly stepped back with disgust on their faces, dodging the flying hair. Looking closely, the heads of Ban and Cao became as smooth as eggs. It turned out that Thirteen Niang came later, and when she saw Cheng Ling and Ji Ji holding Jiang Ban and Cao, she thought of her and shaved their hair.

The sound of laughter instantly resounded in the sky.

"Don't you see that women are better than you? I'll let you try my soft sword shaved head, which ordinary men can't do. For example, you guys. ”

Sun Nian saw Thirteen Niang standing there, and also got up and walked to her side, with a cold face, and said, "As for why the female ring was abolished, the widow has already made it clear. If you are illiterate, let me read to you. The widow will not change. Now you have seen the widow, and you have said what you should say, and you have done what you ought to do, and then you will return. There is no mention of Thirteen Niang shaving their hair, and Cheng Ling and Ji Yu coercing them. It's clear that it's to help relatives.

Ban and Cao thought they were humiliated, and they were easily driven away by Sun Nian, so angry that they vomited blood, but they couldn't faint, so they were driven away by the white-armored guards.

At this point, the small troubles from the outside were solved in a moment, and the people still wanted to help Sun Nian, but they didn't need it. It's not like I'm not satisfied. But in my heart, I still admire Sun Nian too much.

As for those ministers who objected, when they saw Sun Nian and Thirteen Niang treating Ban Zhao's descendants like this, they had lingering palpitations, and they hesitated, not knowing whether they should continue to dissuade them.

However, no matter what they thought, Sun Nian didn't have the heart to think about it. There's more important things to do right now. That is, the Twelve Marquis of Jinghongwei should go to the frontier to guard the country. As for who else wants to stay, Sun Nian naturally has an arrangement in his heart. Those people who thought that they were going to make trouble after Jing Hongwei left Luoyang, I am afraid that they would be disappointed.
