Chapter 140: It's hard to ride a tiger
The deep male voice poured into his ears, Xie Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, then made a big salute and raised his voice, "The courtiers have no intention of offending, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”
Empress Zhu opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only roll her eyes at the emperor when others couldn't see her.
The emperor took a sip of soup, and his voice was low and slow, "You openly resist marriage and interfere with political affairs, I only punish you for copying the female commandment five times, are you dissatisfied?" ”
Xie Wanzhou shook his head, his expression was as usual, "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are not dissatisfied, they are willing to accept the punishment." ”
The emperor snorted lightly, swept his gaze to the palace door, and said in a low voice, "If the method you propose is useful, I will naturally not be stingy." ”
Xie Wanzhou's eyebrows frowned, and she said slowly, "The courtiers are brave, and after the matter is completed, ask the emperor for a reward." ”
Zhu Empress's mind moved, and she lowered her eyes to look at the girl kneeling in the center of the hall.
When the emperor heard this, he became a little interested, and said in a low voice, "What reward do you want?" ”
Xie Wanzhou narrowed her eyes and said quite positively, "Ask the emperor to open a women's school and allow women to rush to the science field!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
Queen Zhu's fingertips trembled, and she looked at the little girl in front of her in disbelief.
The emperor was slightly stunned, and then he was furious, and his face became iron-blue, "Presumptuous! Do you know what you're talking about? ”
Xie Wanzhou had a cold little face, and she couldn't see the emotions on the side, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are very sober now." ”
"Good Xie Wanzhou, good Yongcheng Houfu!" The emperor sneered, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "I thought that you would beg to marry the Lian family, but I didn't think that a little girl, her ambition is so big!" ”
Xie Wanzhou raised her eyes and looked at the man seat, calmly, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are not just for themselves. ”
"Throughout the ages, the world has confined women to their inner houses and taught them to be filial to their fathers, husbands, and children, as if women were born to do these things."
"But Your Majesty, there are no absolutes in this world."
"Yun Qinghe, the daughter of Taifu, knows 1,000 words at the age of five and memorizes 100 poems at the age of seven; General Song's daughter, Song Huixin, has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is only seventeen this year, and she can already tie with her father......" Xie Wanzhou raised his eyes and said with a straight face, "Just ask the emperor, how many sons in the world can compare to them?" ”
When the words fell, Xie Wanzhou slowly looked sideways, looked at Queen Zhu, who had already listened to the stupidity, and said softly, "My aunt once told her courtiers that the queen was the top of the list of talented women in Beijing before entering the palace, and a painting of Danqing in her hand can be worth a fortune. ”
"Are they amazingly talented and can only live in the inner house?"
I wish the queen a stagnation of breath, her heart shook, and she looked at the thin and thin girl in the center of her stupidity.
The emperor's eyes moved slightly, and his face became more and more terrifying, "I see that you are dizzy!" ”
Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip when she heard this, leaned down, and maintained a saluting posture, "I beg the emperor to give the girls in the world a chance!" ”
"Even if it's ......" Xie Wanzhou's tone was stained with a hint of grievance, and said softly, "Even if it's just to build a female school......"
The emperor sneered, smashed the spoon in his hand on the table, and before he could speak, he saw the queen beside him slowly kneeling down.
The Emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, and he muttered, "Empress, what are you doing?" ”
Empress Zhu's face was slightly pale, and her tone was soft and firm, "Your Majesty, if Wanzhou's method is feasible, let alone ten years without war, the concubine begs you to consider this matter as appropriate for her sake." ”
The emperor gritted his teeth and remained silent.
In front of his eyes, he is difficult to ride a tiger, this reward is not right, and it is not right not to be rewarded!
"The Emperor's ......"
Just when he was anxious, Zhang De lifted the heavy curtain and walked in.
When the emperor heard the voice, he raised his eyes impatiently and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter!" ”
Zhang De timidly entered the house, his eyes swept over Queen Zhu and Xie Wanzhou who were kneeling on the ground, and he clamped his tail tightly, not daring to anger the one above, "Back to the emperor, Mrs. Yongcheng is here." ”
When the emperor heard this, he sneered, raised his eyebrows, and raised his voice, "When did the palace become a place where others could come?" ”
Zhang De was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "The emperor is angry, Mrs. Yongcheng is a thoughtful girl, seeing that Miss Xie has not returned for a long time, and there is a message from the queen's mother, I entered the palace to look for it... Other than that...... Mrs. Hou also brought a message. ”
The emperor held his forehead, his face was extremely bad, and slowly spit out a word, "Say." ”
Zhang De swallowed his saliva and whispered, "The Shao family, who is married to the ninth princess, insists on retiring from the marriage, and it has been spread all over the palace, and the people know that the ninth princess is free, and now those ministers who have daughters are ......."
With a snap, the fine blue glazed porcelain cup fell beside Xie Wanzhou.
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Empress was shocked and stretched out her hand to stop her, "Wanzhou is just a child, why does the emperor bother with her?" ”
Xie Wanzhou seemed to be stupid, and froze and didn't dare to move.
"What a Yongcheng Waiting House!" The emperor stood up suddenly, with an angry face, "You mother and daughter have calculated and calculated, and you dare to count on my head!" ”
Xie Wanzhou came back to her senses and hurriedly responded, "This matter has nothing to do with the courtier's mother, please ask the emperor to find out!" ”
The emperor stood in front of the throne, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "She brought this news just to tell me that she would either let her daughter go, or marry Yuan Mi!" ”
"Your family dares to threaten me, do you think I can't do anything to you?"
"The emperor thinks twice!" I wish the queen's heart was beating fast, and her tone was a little more impatient, "Yongcheng is waiting to die for the country, thinking of this love, the emperor will spare them once!" ”
"Mrs. Yongcheng Hou also loves her daughter, and there is really no way to make this decision!"
Zhang De also knelt down and shouted in a sharp voice, "The emperor is angry!" This matter is really not Mrs. Hou's obstruction, it is the Shao family's lack of greed, secretly sent their son to the science field, and now that the East Window incident has happened, they can no longer escape from prison, for fear of involving the ninth princess and another disaster, they will be determined to withdraw from the marriage! ”
The emperor closed his eyes, held back his anger, and whispered, "Get out." ”
When Empress Zhu heard this, she got up in a hurry and glanced at Xie Wanzhou.
Xie Wanzhou was unwilling, but had to follow out of the hall.
Seeing her frustrated, Queen Zhu couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, gently raised her hand and patted her shoulder, and said quietly, "Don't take this matter to heart, the emperor didn't mention the matter of women's studies again, which means that he will consider it." ”
"It's not a foregone conclusion, don't be discouraged." Queen Zhu pinned a strand of broken hair from her sideburns behind her ear for her, and coaxed softly.
Xie Wanzhou didn't seem to come back to her senses, her face was still pale, and she nodded silently.
Queen Zhu looked at her and couldn't help laughing, "There is an old saying that a companion is like a tiger, if you can't even survive these storms, how can you gain a foothold in the court?" ”
Xie Wanzhou looked at her stunned, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
Zhu Empress lowered her head and chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Jun's heart is the most difficult to figure out, he still talked and laughed with you one moment, and the next moment he can send you to prison." ”
After that, Queen Zhu pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and whispered, "The face-changing trick is not as fast as him!" ”
Xie Wanzhou was a little stunned and muttered, "Queen Mother...... Don't you think the words of the courtiers are a fantasy? ”
Empress Zhu stopped, looked at her sideways, hooked her lips and smiled, "I am also a woman, and I expect women to gain a foothold in this world more than anyone else." ”
"My only wish is to see all kinds of flowers bloom in Yanjing in my lifetime."
Empress Zhu stretched out her index finger and tapped the tip of Xie Wanzhou's nose, smiling gently, "And you are the one I am looking forward to the most." ”
