Sima Hongyan didn't expect that after talking for such a long time, his mouth was dry, and he still had such a result. These big men talk and do, even if they agree with what you say, they still can't accept the reality of women as officials. It can be seen that the prejudice against women has been deeply rooted, and it cannot be reversed in a few words.

Emperor Yanzhen didn't expect that no one would dare to break the convention, and he persuaded him twice, but the ministers were indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. I secretly wondered if I was simply assigning it directly, but I was afraid of causing the ministers to rebel, but it backfired!

Just in the dilemma, Sima Hongyan suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The courtiers have an idea and want to ask the emperor to decide? ”

Emperor Yanzhen said, "What do you think?" Speak! ”

Sima Hongyan paused for a moment before saying, "The courtiers are brave, may I ask if the emperor is willing to accept female students?" ”

"Oh!?" Everyone in the hall was taken aback by the idea.

Immediately, someone jumped out and shouted: "Bold Sima Hongyan! The emperor is the king of a country, how can he deign to accept any student, or, or a female student? It's just gibberish, it's ridiculous. This statement is really disrespectful to the emperor! It's an unforgivable sin! ”

"yes!" Another humanitarian: "The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, and every day he deals with it is military aircraft and state politics." If you want to be the emperor's student, can't you have bad intentions? ”

As soon as you say a word, the quiet court hall suddenly turns into a chaotic bazaar.

The ministers, who were still silent just now, seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood at this time, and they were full of anger one by one, and they made accusations and complaints one after another. To put it mildly, you are rebellious, and to say that you are simply a sinister villain with bad intentions. What's more, he directly asked the emperor to immediately execute Sima Hongyan, a traitor who was "bold and reckless, and had ill intentions".

Sima Hongyan knelt on the ground without saying a word, and Emperor Yanzhen was silent with a smile, allowing these ministers to shout and shout. The eunuchs beside Emperor Yanzhen saw the anger of the ministers, and they were so frightened that they retreated, they had never seen such a scene, and they were at a loss for a while.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and more than half of the civil and military officials were shouting. The guards in the palace were afraid that the ministers were startled, and all of them were like facing a great enemy, and they stepped forward with a "bang". The face is solemn and the eyes are not good!

At this time, those who were still chattering noticed that the atmosphere in the hall did not seem to be quite right!

The emperor and Sima Hongyan were calm and indifferent. The guards, on the other hand, were tense and ready to attack.

Suddenly, they found that they had gotten carried away and dared to shout in front of the emperor in such a gaffe. Sima Hongyan just asked the emperor, but he shouted in front of the emperor I don't know how many. Speaking of great disrespect, he is not much lighter than Sima Hongyan.

The ministers who were originally noisy and excited calmed down for a moment, replaced by nervousness and panic, and they didn't know how the emperor would deal with this behavior that completely violated etiquette for a while.

Sima Hongyan's extraordinary thoughts also surprised Emperor Yanzhen, but what he didn't expect was that this would make the civil and military officials react so much, and even a little out of control. It's really hard to make a decision for a while!

And more than a dozen women standing in the middle of the hall suddenly knelt down together and bowed.

The first poet said: "The courtiers and others implore the emperor!" Forgive Sima Hongyan for his rude sin! The other women followed and said, "The courtiers and others implore the emperor!" Forgive Sima Hongyan for his rude sin! ”

Ban Lingruo, who was kneeling below, was already stunned at this moment, and she categorically did not expect Sima Hongyan to dare to make such a request to the emperor, and the moment the ministers broke out, she was almost stunned. She even wondered if she was dreaming, that everything in front of her was not real!

Looking at Sima Hongyan, who was still kneeling there, Emperor Yanzhen hesitated.

After thinking about it, I suddenly saw Liao Ziling and Li Mingzhong, who had not participated in any opinions from beginning to end, and my heart moved. opened his mouth and asked, "General Liao, Li Xiangguo, what do you two think about this matter?" ”

This Liao and Li are both first-class ministers, and they can be described as the heads of the hundred officials and the representatives of the ministers. The emperor suddenly asked these two questions, and all the officials looked at these two adults, guessing how they would answer.

Li Mingzhong was a little older, so he spoke first and said, "I think! Miss Sima's proposal was inappropriate. The emperor is the son of heaven, and the prime minister has no time to be idle for a moment in major national affairs, and he really has no time and energy to do the work of accepting female students. And what the Son of Heaven did is related to the face of my Yanling country, and those who don't know the details will inevitably be truthful. ”

Emperor Yanzhen nodded, what Lord Li said was the truth, the emperor inexplicably accepted a female disciple, it was indeed nondescript, and it was easy to make people reverie.

Emperor Yanzhen looked at Liao Ziling again and asked, "What did General Liao say?" ”

Liao Ziling bowed down and said, "Go back to the emperor!" The minister agreed with Lord Lee's statement. The politics and law of the court are related to the national system, and they cannot be hastily acted. However, Miss Sima and the others are also sincere, just for Yanling to contribute. Please don't blame the emperor! ”

Seeing that the two adults also disagreed with Sima Hongyan's suggestion, the rest of the hundred officials felt a little wider in their hearts, and their faces softened slightly.

Emperor Yanzhen said to Sima Hongyan: "Sima Hongyan! What the officials said just now is very right, and I can't agree to your idea. However, you are also thinking about the country, this matter will not be investigated, and no one else will mention it again! ”

All the officials knelt and professed to obey the order.

After everyone got up, Emperor Yanzhen said to Sima Hongyan again: "Last time, I ordered you to prepare for the establishment of a women's army, and since I have said this, we can't delay it." For your convenience, I have temporarily appointed you as the commander of the reserve army, and I am in charge of all matters of the women's army. But don't forget that if you can't do any of them, I will still punish you severely! ”

Sima Hongyan was unexpected, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Emperor Yanzhen continued: "I am afraid that the other talented women have no hope of entering the court as officials for the time being this year, and I will not let you learn your skills in vain!" ”

Except for Sima Hongyan, the rest of the women all bowed down and thanked him.

The result can be said to be a happy outcome. Although today the emperor made an exception to make a woman an official, but she is also a six-rank petty military attaché. When the ministers heard that the emperor had given such an insignificant official position, they secretly laughed that the emperor must have been perfunctory. I can accept it in my heart, even if I have different opinions, I don't dare to mention it again at this time.

Everyone thought that the matter was over, and that was the end of the temple examination.

Sima Hongyan suddenly bowed again and said, "Your Majesty! The courtiers have another request! ”

At this moment, Emperor Yanzhen also had a headache at Sima Hongyan's request, this woman had too many strange thoughts in her head, and she couldn't say anything shocking.

Emperor Yanzhen frowned slightly, and said, "Speak!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Your Majesty! Since the courtiers have been given official positions by the emperor and ordered to prepare for the establishment of a women's army, the courtiers will definitely not be able to do it alone. The courtier's request was, if the emperor did not object, could I choose an assistant from among these women who had entered the palace to assist me in establishing the Yanling Women's Army? ”

Emperor Yanzhen was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said that this was a good way. I couldn't help but praise this Sima Hongyan in my heart for turning his brain quickly. So without hesitation, he said: "Yes!" ”

The rest of the women had happy faces on their faces, but only Shi Jinyan was still expressionless.

All the women fell to their knees and thanked them again!

This temple exam is finally over! The first female official in Yanling in hundreds of years was also produced today!

When the women left the palace, Sima Hongyan could feel the ridicule or disdain on the faces of the ministers around him, looking at him like a clown. Her face was calm, she sneered in her heart, and walked out with her head held high.

As soon as she left the palace gate, Sima Hongyan was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen women and praised her. Ban Lingruo couldn't bear it anymore, her heart was wide, and tears came out of her eyes.

Sima Hongyan wiped Ban Lingruo's tears and comforted: "Silly sister, what are you crying about." Didn't we get what we wanted! ”

Ban Lingruo wiped her tears and said angrily: "You are too bold, you are simply dead." I don't think this kind of result is necessary. ”

Sima Hongyan smiled: "Okay, okay, next time I won't be so reckless." In fact, I thought about it at the time and said it, and I didn't think about the consequences, and now that I think about it, I was a little afraid! ”

Shi Jinyan on the side suddenly said: "Miss Sima, I don't know what you plan to do later?" ”
