The two women were crying in the room, and Lu Li hurried over, you must know that he had just received the news that Xiao Man had met the emperor in person, but he didn't expect Xiao Man to say such things to the emperor, how could this make him feel at ease.

So he hurriedly asked, "Xiaoman, did you really go to the emperor today and tell him about the opening of the women's imperial examination?" ”

Xiao Man saw that Lu Li's eyebrows were condensed together, although Lu Li was his husband, but he was also a man, Xiao Man didn't know if Lu Li would agree to do this, but even if Lu Li didn't agree to think about it, Xiao Man would still do it.

"It's Lu Li, I have gone to meet the saint today, he once owed me a wish, and I used this wish to exchange for the opening of the women's imperial examination today."

At this time, Wei Xiuyuan also came to the Lu family, he was enjoying this rare leisure time in his own house, but he heard rumors everywhere in the capital, saying that Su Xiaoman was controlled by someone, or that he had taken the wrong medicine, and he actually said such a thing to the current saint.

This made Wei Xiuyuan feel puzzled, to say that Su Xiaoman has always been a steady and mature person, in this case, she will not say nonsense, since there are these rumors in Shangjing, it means that Xiaoman does have the intention of doing this.

This kind of thought is not a good thing, so Wei Xiuyuan immediately rushed to Lu Li's house, and saw that Lu Li was standing in front of Su Xiaoman at this moment, and behind Su Xiaoman was Liniang, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen.

"Xiaoman, I just heard the news, everyone in the capital is spreading that you forced the emperor to open the women's imperial examination, is this true?"

In the face of their questioning, Su Xiaoman didn't know what to say, and he didn't have to explain his actions to them, so he said categorically,

That's right, I did this thing, I just wanted Donglan Kingdom to have a place for women in the future, so I mentioned this matter to the emperor.

To say that although Wei Xiuyuan is Su Xiaoman's friend, he is more pedantic, and Su Xiaoman's angry face is swollen and red at this time.

"Xiaoman, how can you say such a thing, I don't know that a woman's participation in the imperial examination is a group training, and a woman should teach her husband and children at home, why do you need to come out and make a lot of fun."

After listening to the maintenance man's words, Xiao Man retorted to him.

"Xiuyuan, what do you think of Wanrou's mind?"

Thinking of his gentle and lovely wife, Wei Xiuyuan naturally felt a smile on his face.

"Wanrou is naturally very smart, what are you asking for?"

"Then do you think that Wan's gentle mind can be compared to Lord Liu's son Liu An?"

Thinking of Liu An, Wei Xiuyuan felt angry, and he didn't know why that straw bag was born so stupidly, and he was instigated by his father, looking for trouble with Lu Li everywhere, and he almost let them succeed in the spring hunt last time, and Wei Xiuyuan was naturally angry when he came to him at this time.

"What do you say, how can you compare Wanrou to that straw bale? Wanrou is naturally more than 100 times stronger than straw bales. ”

"That's it, you see that women are not inferior to men at all, Wanrou is a hundred times stronger than those straw bale men as a woman. If it is an open women's imperial examination, people like Wanrou can also do something, and they can also show their ambition to serve the imperial court, isn't it good to do so. Is it destined that women can only embroider in the boudoir, but can't really go to the front of people and give advice to the court? ”

Su Xiaoman was sharp-tongued, Wei Xiuyuan didn't know how to refute what he said at this time, but Wei Xiuyuan had been a civil official for so long, and he had never heard such a risky proposal, so he just blackened his face and didn't speak, anyway, it was not so easy to get him to agree to the women's imperial examination

Lu Li sighed, he didn't expect Xiao Man to have such an idea after studying with Li Niang for a while, so he asked very seriously.

"Xiaoman, have you thought about it, after all, it's too difficult to do this, do you really want to keep going?"

Xiao Man nodded, there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, seeing such a Xiao Man, Lu Li was naturally very distressed, not to mention that Xiao Man encountered any difficulties, if the sky fell, he would also help Xiao Man bear it.

"Lu Li, I'm sure I must do this thing, whether you help me or not."

Lu Li hurriedly hugged Xiao Man into his arms.

"Xiaoman, don't cry, I will definitely help you in this matter, since you and Liniang's predecessors want to participate in the imperial examination, serve the court, and want to enter the court as a woman, I will help you, whether I am a courtier now, or as an emperor in the future, I will fulfill your wishes!"

Li Niang saw that Lu Li's heart was so broad-minded, and he didn't care about the difference between men and women at all, but just blindly chose talents, and she had a little admiration for him in her heart

At this time, the emperor was in a hurry in the upper study, to say that he had discussed with Zhang Yu and Lord Liu, the two ministers of the upper study, these two ministers naturally had opposing opinions, to say that women entering the court as officials seemed to be what words, women can go to the court as officials, wouldn't the man want to watch the children go home to do housework.

If all women are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, where will the men's face go?

Hearing the two ministers say these words, the emperor felt that it made a little sense, thinking that he had to find an excuse to refuse Su Xiaoman, and as for the wish given to Su Xiaoman, he could only return her in the future.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the eunuch came to Su Shuo to meet him, and the emperor was naturally very surprised when he heard that Su Shuo was coming, to say that this Su Shuo can always bring him many accidents, he just thought that this Su Shuo was an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to be so talented, so he made him an ordinary civil official.

It wasn't until later during the spring hunt that I saw that his kung fu was so powerful, and it was nothing more than Wu Zhuangyuan, which made the emperor trust him even more, and he always felt that he could become a pillar of the country and become his confidant.

Seeing Su Shuo coming, the emperor naturally sat on his dragon chair and watched Su Shuo kneel and salute.

"See the Emperor."

"Flat."

After hearing the emperor say this, Lu Li naturally stood up and looked at the faces of the two ministers in the study, and sure enough, both of them were not very good-looking, they were miserable and white, and they were frightened by Su Xiaoman's idea.

After all, Donglanguo has maintained this rule for hundreds of years, and it is indeed unaccustomed to a sudden change at this time, only to see Lu Li slowly said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I heard that someone wants to create a women's imperial examination, is it true?"

"Yes, there is such a thing."

The emperor nodded hurriedly, in fact, it was not only the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he even wanted to call the six Shangshu and the squire to the Jinluan Hall to ask and vote to see if women should be allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Su Shuo, you came just in time, I am already irritable about this matter, to say that it is Su Xiaoman, the widow of the Guogong of Donglan Guozhen, who raised this matter, it is not good to refute Su Xiaoman's face, after all, her husband sacrificed for the country.

Lu Li listened to the emperor's words, and thought that when he died, the crime was obviously because he killed Saria, but he didn't expect that the emperor would rehabilitate himself at this time, and said to outsiders that he died for the country.

"Your Majesty, I think what Su Xiaoman said is reasonable."

Lu Li, as the secretary of the criminal department, naturally had a place in the court, and when the emperor heard that someone in the six departments suddenly supported Su Xiaoman, he was naturally so frightened that his mouth couldn't close together. He originally thought that if all the civil and military officials were against it. Naturally, he had reason to reject Su Xiaoman's request.

But I didn't expect that the opinions of the DPRK and China were so varied, and there were still people who agreed with Su Xiaoman's idea.

"Su Shuo, can you tell you really, you must know how dangerous it is to let women participate in the imperial examination."

Lu Li hurriedly bowed his head and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is very feasible, women may not be able to enter the court as official women, women also have wisdom, the emperor should not emphasize the difference between men and women so much, and cut off the road for tens of millions of women to serve the court."

When the emperor heard Lu Li say this, he naturally felt that it made sense, but because of the two ministers in the upper study, he was just silent and didn't dare to speak at this time.

Lord Liu glanced at Su Shuo, and he didn't know why Su Shuo seemed to have no grievances with him, but secretly he was targeting himself everywhere, and Lord Liu always had a bad premonition, and he always felt that this Su Shuo's origin was not right.

However, Zhang Yu has no rivals in the court, and he is also very innocent, and when he faces Su Suo's words at this time, he naturally argues two sentences, after all, the emperor handed over the emperor to him, which is to let him know everything.

So with a disdainful look, he said to Lu Li.

"Master Su, although there is some truth in what you said, but I think that the women of Donglan Country may not be as smart as you say, they have long been accustomed to taking on family affairs behind the scenes, and obeying the education since childhood, where do they have the time to read poetry and ancient books, the same as men, even if they are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, it is just a joke for the people to see in vain, and no woman can really be admitted to the imperial examination."

Lu Li frowned and always felt that what Zhang Yu said was too arbitrary, but he saw Liniang's cleverness with his own eyes, if Liniang participated in the imperial examination, those famous words on the list would not know what to lose.

"How can you say such a negative thing without seeing the demeanor of our Donglan woman, you must know that I know a woman who will definitely be able to win."

I heard that there was a woman in Lu Li's house who could be lifted.
