The emperor has selfish intentions, and his daughter is also eager to participate, and now some people want to break the rules, and maybe they can help the court improve talents, and he is naturally happy to see it as an emperor.

But this decision cannot be made by him, otherwise he will summon the criticism of the Manchu court. Therefore, Li Er was very clever in throwing out the problem and letting the courtiers discuss it, no matter what the final result of the discussion was, it would be a good result.

If the courtiers vetoed it, then they could give an explanation to the people with a court decree and block the people's mouth.

If the courtiers negotiate and pass the women's imperial examination, then they will push the boat down the river, opening a precedent for the past and the present, and they can add a fire to the situation, and they will not write more in the history books.

The first to stand up against it was the people from the Ministry of Rites, "Never! Since ancient times, men have been engaged in politics, how can there be a reason to be a chicken? What kind of system should a woman be at home and teach her husband and children, and come out and show her face? ”

"Yes, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"Yes, the minister seconded the proposal!"

……

One after another, people stood up, and more than seventy percent of the people in the Taiji Hall expressed their opposition. Most of the rest were watching, and a few remained silent, seemingly not intending to participate in the discussion.

Li Er gradually became worried, if everyone objected, then the matter would not be passed.

At this time, Xiao Rui's father Xiao Yu stood up, although Xiao Yu was old-fashioned, but he was coerced by his son Xiao Rui's limelight over the years, and had to keep pace with the times, together with the emperor Li Er, standing in the team of constant reform, he saw through the emperor's mind, so he came out to help get started.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's okay. Throughout the ages, there have been many talented women, and after being reused by the imperial court, all of them are famous figures in the world. ”

"The wife of the Shang king Wu Ding two thousand years ago is good, and she is a famous female general! He has fought countless battles in his life, defending his family and defending the country and expanding his territory, even if there are few men in later generations. ”

"During the Warring States Period, the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin, presided over the Qin State for more than 20 years, greatly expanding the strength of the Qin State, and his achievements in his life were no less than that of Prime Minister Zhang Yi."

"There are even more outstanding women in the history of the Han Dynasty, not counting Dou Yifang, Wang Zhengjun, Zhao Feiyan, Yin Lihua, Deng Sui...... and so on, these queens from the court, just say that other commoners: Chun Yu Tiying, my model of filial piety in China; Wang Zhaojun, there is no need to say the allusion of Zhaojun out of the plug, right? Diao Chan, Cai Wenji ......"

"Oh yes, and Ban Zhao! This female historian is not from the palace, and the examples of her predecessors are well known, who dares to say that women can't be officials? ”

Hiss......

Many people all looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, and said that this person's words are sharp enough, you don't look like you're expressing your opinion, it's more like you're fighting with the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Li Er breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded with satisfaction, but did not express his opinion, and waited for the hundred officials below to tear up.

No, after a few breaths of silence, someone stood up to refute Xiao Yu, "Xiao Xiang's words are wrong!" Ban Zhao entered the dynasty to revise the history books, not really breaking the rules, but really had to do it. The inheritance of the Ban family fell on her head, and Emperor Han He could only allow her to enter the palace to continue to repair the history books. But this example alone is not enough to illustrate anything. ”

Xiao Yu sneered: "Liu Shilang, it's better to go back and read more history books." According to historical records, after the Empress Dowager Deng came to the dynasty, Ban Zhao participated in the governor's affairs, worked diligently for the government, and was named the Marquis of Guannei, and the official was the minister of Qi. How is it a special case? ”

You......

"But so what? After Ban Zhao, is there anyone else who has won this award? Liu Shilang blushed and retorted, "If not, it means that Emperor Han He doesn't want to break the rules, and Ban Zhao is just an example." ”

Well? You......

Xiao Yu was choked, but she could look for it in the future, and there really didn't seem to be a civilian woman who could be treated the same as Ban Zhao.

You can't just be defeated, can you? So he gave Wei Zheng, an old in-law not far away, a look, which means that you old boy don't hide, you can talk about the Confucianism, hurry up and say a few words.

I saw Wei Zheng slowly walk out, saluted the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you agree to a woman to participate in the imperial examination, it is equivalent to agreeing to a woman to enter the court as an official." You can be a historian today, and you can be a prime minister tomorrow. Throughout the ages, women have entered the court unheard of! It is not advisable to have a chicken in the morning. ”

Burst...... You......

Xiao Yu wanted to vomit blood, I called you to help, you are good, stand opposite? Old Wei, you old boy, don't you want to see your grandson?

Li Er didn't expect Wei Zheng to be opposed.

Feeling Xiao Yu's eyes that wanted to eat people, Wei Zheng said with a serious face: "Personal friendship is personal friendship, but political opinions are official affairs, and they should not be abandoned." I admit that there are many strange women in the world, but women should have women's rules and responsibilities, if they all pour into the court to compete to be officials, then who will have children? There are no descendants, how can we talk about Datang Wannian? ”

Burst......

Xiao Yu felt that he had been mended, and it was a fatal knife.

Even Emperor Li Er's face darkened.

Many ministers shouted, "Good! What Wei Xiang said is extremely true, this is the truth! Those who govern benevolently in the world will have no heirs! Women are not fit to be officials. ”

Alas......

In that case, then ......

Emperor Li Er had already given up and was about to announce the result, but a loud shout outside the Taiji Hall interrupted the court meeting.

"Wait! I don't think it's wrong for a woman to be an official, why can't a woman be an official? Princess Changle rode a tiger slowly, and the sense of oppression of the colorful tiger instantly permeated the entire Taiji Palace.

Countless civil officials were so frightened that they retreated to hide, and the emperor smiled, saying in his heart that Changle had come just in time.

Wei Zheng stubbornly spoke: "Your Royal Highness the little princess, this matter ......"

Changle waved his hand and interrupted Wei Zheng: "Dare to ask Wei Xiang, is Changle a man or a daughter?" ”

This one...... Daughter, of course.

"Can Changle be an official?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "As a royal family, the princess does not need to be an official, but the royal family has the authority herself. ”

Changle smiled slightly, then reached out and took out a black token, "What about it?" ”

Hiss......

The moment they saw this token, everyone was silent.

What is this? A token of the Women's Scout?

"Yes, this princess was ordered to take charge of the Women's Army, and it is not Princess Changle who is here today, but the general of the Zhengsanpin Women's Army-Li Lizhen! Dare to ask Wei Xianghe and you, the position of the general of the Lady Army, but it is an official position? ”

This......

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to reply, Changle said loudly: "Changle is young and has never taken on a big responsibility, just in the Northern Expedition to the Turks, he killed a few enemy chieftains, and he talked about his military exploits, but he was only a general who guarded from the fourth grade. But today I want to ask you about it, the eldest princess who created the strong force of the Women's Army - Princess Pingyang Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, is she considered an official? And has she ever delayed the inheritance of having children? ”

Xiao Yu took the opportunity to laugh and said: "Of course, Princess Pingyang Zhao has made great achievements, and one-third of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was fought down by her with the women's army, who dares to say that she is famous by relying on the royal family?" The general of the women's army can be the first woman to lead the army in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Wei Zheng didn't speak anymore and retreated silently.

Xiao Changle saw that no one dared to come forward to debate with him, so he turned over, saluted Emperor Yingying, and said loudly: "Father, Changle asks for the life of the women of the world, we are willing to emulate Aunt Pingyang's feminine demeanor, try our civil and military talents, and serve the country in the future." ”

Li Er's eyes were full of praise and pride, look, at the critical moment, it has to be my daughter who can be relied on.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Can Changle be invited? ”

Everyone didn't answer, Changle kicked directly at the yawning big cat, only to see the big cat look up to the sky and roar, shaking the tiles of the entire Taiji Hall were shaking. Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to doze off or play tricks anymore. For fear of making this aunt angry, if one is not good, she will let the tiger eat people.

"Bastard big cat, it's good for you to come to the Taiji Hall to see the world, and dare to roar the hall? Get the hell out of here! Xiao Changle pretended to be angry and scolded the big cat. Where is this scolding the big cat? It clearly refers to the Liwei of Sang scolding Huai.

Xiao Yu was about to laugh out loud, and secretly gave Changle a thumbs up, saying in her heart that this girl is good, reasonable, and courageous and strategic, good! She will definitely be a heroine again in the future.

I saw Fang Xuanling walk out, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Princess Changle has invited you to benefit the country!" Nowadays, only men are talented in the world, but there are the same number of women in the world as men. If talents can be selected from among the women to serve the country, wouldn't that mean that they can double the talents of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"The minister is for the Tang Dynasty, and for Your Majesty!"

Hiss...... So, so, it seems to be true? But in this way, it is not a matter of one or two women participating in the imperial examination, but that all women in the world have the right to enter the court as officials? How does this work? What if it really develops into a chicken in the future, yin and yang?

Li Er hesitated, so he pondered for a moment, and he said loudly: "This matter is a precedent for ancient and modern times, don't be hasty!" In this way, this year, we will start with an exceptional registration, try it once, see how many wizards can be selected, and then look at the ability of these people to do things, if it is really beneficial to the country and the people, it may be discussed in detail at that time. ”

As soon as they heard it, everyone stood up and seconded it, "The ministers seconded it!" Your Majesty is wise! ”

Xiao Changle pursed his lips and secretly said that his father was stingy. But instead of messing around, she bowed and retired, she wanted to see who was so bold, and a girl blatantly signed up for the imperial examination.
