Chapter 668: Women Participate in the Imperial Examination

I also think that what Mrs. said makes sense, it is better to push this matter to the emperor now than to push it to my own lord in the future, but I always feel that Xiaoman is too risky to do this.

"Madam, if you want to assist the master, you can also become his virtuous helper, why bother to become an official in the court."

Xiao Man smiled slightly. I want to come to Pearl to accept some traditional ideas from a young age. His avant-garde thoughts really scared him = her, so he didn't talk to Pearl anymore, and looked at the scenery outside the car window intently, Pearl saw that Xiaoman ignored him, and he also shut up, thinking that Mrs. was going, and he couldn't stop it.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiao Man went directly into the emperor's study, at this time the emperor was still very happy to see Xiao Man, since the last time he talked to Xiao Man, he felt that Xiao Man was a person who could be trusted, anyway, Lu Li is dead now, if he has anything to talk to Xiao Man, he can comfort one or two.

"Xiaoman, did you come to look for me today?"

Xiao Man immediately asked the emperor for peace, after all, what she said next about these things might scare the emperor a lot.

"When the emperor was hunting in the spring that day, you once made a wish to Xiaoman, I wonder if Xiaoman can fulfill this wish today?"

The emperor laughed, thinking that it was just a wish, why did Su Xiaoman wear so ceremoniously in front of him, looking at Su Xiaoman's blue official uniform, the emperor felt that Su Xiaoman was too serious.

"Of course, I actually said this, and it will naturally satisfy you, what kind of wish do you say?"

I only heard Su Xiaoman say slowly.

"Your Majesty, in this year's imperial examination, please allow women to participate in the imperial examination."

When the emperor heard this, the brush in his hand fell to the ground at once, and the eunuch next to him heard Su Xiaoman actually say such a thing, and immediately knelt on the ground, for fear that the emperor would be thundered and angry in a second.

But the emperor obviously didn't understand what Su Xiaoman meant, and he didn't get angry for a while, just looked at Su Xiaoman in a daze, and then took another sip of tea, so that his heart was calm and calm, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

After a few moments, he asked slowly.

"Su Xiaoman, what did you just say, you tell me again?"

I only saw Su Xiaoman repeating it very respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Man just said that in this year's imperial examination, please allow women to participate."

The emperor plucked out his ears and made sure that he had not misheard Su Xiaoman's words, so he took an incredible look at the weather outside, and made sure that the sun did not come out of the west today, and then the whole person smiled stunned at the door of the upper study, came back to his senses, and turned his head to look at Su Xiaoman, she was still kneeling solemnly in place, as if nothing had happened.

"Su Xiaoman, did you take the wrong medicine, why did you become so demonic today, and actually told me such a thing, don't you know that only men in Donglan Kingdom can participate in the imperial examination, this is a rule that has been created since the founding of the country!"

Su Xiaoman naturally knew the rules of Donglan Kingdom, but didn't he come today to break this rule.

"Your Majesty, the rules are all set by people, and you are now a holy monarch, so why can't you change this unreasonable rule?"

"Unreasonable, what rules are you talking about are unreasonable, it is natural for men to participate in the imperial examination, women should have a good husband and children at home, what kind of excitement is there, I see if you have left Lu Li for too long, you have nothing to do, if you feel that you are too idle, I will find a good husband for you now, let you remarry."

Su Xiaoman didn't expect the emperor to misunderstand what she meant, thinking that he was lonely, so he thought that he had nothing to do, so he hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Man definitely doesn't mean that, Xiao Man is determined to marry only one Lu Li in this life, there are many talented women in this world, you can't directly break their hearts to serve the court, you must know that their talent and wisdom are not lower than men, why deny them."

The emperor was angry with Su Xiaoman at this time and didn't know what to say, so he could only walk around in the upper study, and it happened that at this time, Zhang Yu, who was in charge of the imperial examination, came to see him, and the emperor immediately recruited him, thinking that Zhang Yu was at least a veteran of the three dynasties, and asked him to persuade Su Xiaoman, maybe Su Xiaoman would listen.

I saw that the old man slowly walked to the upper study, and the emperor gave him a seat without saying a word, Zhang Yu was also very surprised, to know that he hadn't said anything, why did the emperor find a chair and press himself.

The emperor was afraid that after Zhang Yu heard what Su Xiaoman said, he would suddenly get angry, and if he died, how would he face this civil and military official.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, the minister doesn't look very good at you."

The emperor shook his head, it didn't matter if his face was good or not, after all, Zhang Yu's face was probably worse than him for a while.

"Lord Zhang, this Mrs. Lu has a few suggestions for the imperial court, and I want you to hear them."

Hearing that Mrs. Lu had a suggestion to the imperial court, Zhang Yu frowned suddenly, how could this woman participate in politics, if it was him, he would drive Su Xiaoman out now, and let her talk more here, it seems that the emperor is indeed a good-tempered person, and he actually allowed Su Xiaoman to mess around here.

However, seeing that Su Xiaoman's husband was the late Lu Li, Zhang Yu was still reluctantly ready to listen to her words.

"Xiaoman, then you repeat what you just said."

Su Xiaoman bowed slightly, and said to Zhang Yu.

Mr. Zhang and Xiaoman proposed that women should be allowed to participate in the imperial examination this year.

Sure enough, as the emperor expected, Zhang Yu, the old man, heard Su Xiaoman say this, and suddenly turned his back on him, and the emperor hurriedly found the imperial doctor, who came to do acupuncture for Zhang Yu, and pinched people, and finally rescued Zhang Yu.

Su Xiaoman saw that Master Zhang was actually angry with himself like this, and he also felt a little blamed in his heart, but thinking of Liniang's lonely expression, he felt that he wanted to fight for a status for women in the world.

I only saw Master Zhang pointing at Su Xiaoman in a trembling old voice and said,

"Mrs. Lu, you are too much to say this, this is simply against the ancestral teachings, how dare you say such a thing?"

I only saw that Su Xiaoman did not have a trace of panic on his face, so he said to Zhang Yu.

"Lord Zhang, the emperor made a wish to Xiaoman on the day of the spring hunt, and today Xiaoman is here to fulfill this wish, thinking that the emperor is the king of a country, since he said this, he will definitely do it, so I implore the emperor to issue a decree to allow women to participate in the imperial examination."

The emperor didn't expect that he had made Su Xiaoman a wish at will, but today he dug a big hole for himself, and at this moment, the whole person was paralyzed on the dragon chair and felt very powerless.

"Su Xiaoman, I gave you a wish, I didn't let you use it like this."

Su Xiaoman sighed.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Man naturally knows that you gave Xiao Man this wish, but you just want to give Xiao Man some rewards, but Xiao Man is so arrogant that you make such an embarrassing decision, but you have to think about it, this precedent you set, thousands of women will get your favor because of this, and have the opportunity to reimburse the court, Donglan Kingdom will be more prosperous in the future, you will definitely be a Ming Jun in the history books, so Xiao Man also implore the emperor to issue a decree."

I didn't expect Su Xiaoman to force himself like this, the emperor couldn't speak, so he could only stabilize Su Xiaoman first and let him think about it again, so he waved his hand and said to Su Xiaoman.

"In this case, you go back to the Lu Mansion first, and I will discuss this matter with the ministers again, and when there is an answer, I will tell you."

Su Xiaoman naturally wouldn't give the emperor time to think about it, so he retreated at this time, not long after Su Xiaoman left, the troubled eunuchs and palace maids spread the word, Su Xiaoman had just returned to the Lu mansion, and Su Xiaoman proposed that women participate in the imperial examination. It is known to everyone in the capital.

I only saw that Li Niang rushed to Su Xiaoman's room in a hurry.

"Xiaoman, what are you doing here?"

Xiaoman saw Liniang like this, so he pulled Liniang to sit opposite him.

"Liniang, don't worry, I've thought about it, anyway, the emperor owes me a wish, if I fulfill this wish with him, he has to agree like this, I can fulfill your wish to participate in the imperial examination."

Li Niang doesn't know what to say, you must know that her life experience has been very miserable since she was a child, and no one has really cared for her, when she was in the Qinglou before, those prostitutes talked about love all day long, but in fact, they were just greedy for her body, and when she grew up, the rivers and lakes were strife, which made her feel indifferent.

But I didn't expect that I would mention it like this today, and actually let Su Xiaoman speak for herself in front of the emperor, how could she not be moved.

Just look at Su Xiaoman's blue fateful costume, dressed very gorgeously, you must know that Xiaoman hates such a gorgeous costume the most, but today she is wearing it, confronting the emperor head-on, thinking of this, Li Niang's tears flowed down suddenly.

Su Xiaoman looked at Liniang like this, naturally she was very distressed, Liniang has always been a sister among them, accompanying them and giving them for everyone, but at this time, Liniang showed a fragile side.

So Su Xiaoman immediately stretched out his hand and wiped away Liniang's tears with his fingertips, only to hear Liniang choked up.

"Xiaoman, in fact, you don't have to do this for me, if I help Lu Li ascend to the throne in the future, he is not willing to help me, I naturally will not force you, after all, the ancestral training of the past hundred years is not something that can be reversed by a woman, it is really difficult for you to do this for me."

Li Niang, I am not only here to help you, but also to help myself, in order to help thousands of women in the world.
