Chapter 236 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 39
The middle-aged man came back from a daze for a while, bowed his hands to Yan Ying, and then said: "Your Majesty's words are true. It is indeed the work of women in the world to reproduce hundreds of millions of people for the country, but even though women are good at procreating, it does not prove that they Do you have the talent to stabilize the country?"
Yan Ying straightened her back: "Ding Guo An Bang, can't I prove it?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you are the only intelligent person in the world. How can ordinary women in the world compare with you?"
Yan Ying looked directly at him with sharp eyes: "Before becoming emperor, I was also a boudoir girl, and I was not allowed to be free. I was also an embroiderer, and I was one of the ordinary women you said, but now, I am sitting on the throne of the empress." Wanli Jiangshan, let me tell you, let me tell you, women can do what men can accomplish in this world, and they can even do better than you men.”
The middle-aged man frowned: "You are just a special one, not representative of all women"
Yan Ying: "True knowledge comes from practice, so we might as well wait and see, let's see, if we are both students, study on the same day, and take the imperial examination at the same time, after a few years, can women be on the imperial examination list?"
After Yan Ying finished speaking, she saw some women in the crowd who were wearing veiled hats and were protected by servants and maidservants waved off their hats resolutely, straightened their backs, strode forward, and walked up to Yan Ying one by one. In front of her, she bowed her knees and saluted: "Li Wei, the daughter of the imperial censor, thanked His Majesty for opening up a broad avenue for thousands of women in the world."
"Lu Shu, the younger sister of the governor of Youzhou, thanks His Majesty for your kindness"
"Fan Shang, the daughter of Nanyang prefect, thanked His Majesty for your kindness"
"Minister Ning Ge thanked Her Majesty the Empress for her grace"
I don't know when the weak but powerful voices came from the crowd one after another in the corner, slowly merging together, the female voice became louder and louder, as if no voice could be suppressed anymore , hundreds, thousands of female voices said at the same time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."
The face of the middle-aged man changed color slightly. Although the voice was not as loud as the man's, it was still deafening!
Standing at the gate of the palace, Yan Ying bowed her head to the women who stood up, her eyes were moved, but the smile on her face was so gentle: "Today, you all stood up, I am very pleased and forgiving, In the future, I hope you can stand in the court hall."
"I'm waiting for you at the Golden Luan Hall, I hope you will encourage each other!"
After Yan Ying finished speaking, she turned around and left. The moment her back disappeared, many boudoir girls' eyes turned red. They swore in their hearts that they would study hard, take the imperial examination, and live up to His Majesty's expectations.
There is a saying that has been handed down from ancient times: A woman who has no talent is a virtue!
But in fact, in a rich family, it is a joke that the woman can't read. In the capital, the girls of the fanxun noble family followed the boy's three hundred thousand enlightenment since they were young, and read the four books and five classics, but there is no way out at the end of the reading. All of them have learned etiquette and rules and the head of the house and other things.
How many women in boudoirs are praised as intelligent, known as Zhuge among women, but they just suffer from studying and have not made it to the top. Now that Yan Ying has personally opened up a way to reach the sky for them, how can it not make people ecstatic.
After Li Wei returned home, her mother sat in front of the hall and looked at her, frowning: "Where have you gone to play like crazy again? How can the eldest girl be so unsteady and dignified? You are not allowed to go out for two days, and learn the etiquette rules from the mother. In the future, mother will find you a good family..."
I have heard it countless times before, and Li Wei has never refuted it, but now she can't stand it anymore: "I don't want to study etiquette and women's rings. I want to study, and I want to take the imperial examination."
Mother Li walked over angrily and patted her daughter on the back: "You child, where did you learn this nonsense? How can there be a woman's imperial examination?"
Li Wei retorted: "With the permission of the empress, women can pass the imperial examination and become officials in the court."
Li's mother didn't have a good impression of this empress, so she couldn't help saying: "It's a man's job to be an official in the imperial examination, you just stay at home and learn the rules for me."
Li Wei broke free from his mother's hand, and shouted angrily with red eyes: "Why, didn't you say that I was the smartest one in the family before? Father can be an official? Elder brother can be an official, younger brother can be an official, but I can't ?”
Li's mother was so contradicted by her that she was speechless: "What does my daughter's family look like in public? Just because you are my daughter, you should listen to me."
Two lines of tears flowed down Li Wei's face, and she returned to the room silently. In the afternoon, a girl pretending to be a maid left Li's residence silently with a bundle.
Yan Ying set up the women's college in an abandoned library. For a whole winter, she took in more than 30 female students.
No one knows that such an abandoned study building will produce several famous female officials from here in the next few years, and it will become a holy place in the hearts of countless women in the future, and it will be called the female monarch's building by later generations!
In the imperial study, Yan Liang had just left with his official business, and Yan Ying yawned, internal affairs had to be dealt with, salt and iron could not be thrown away, and salt making, smelting weapons and military training had to be added to the schedule.
After writing for an hour, Yan Ying realized that it was a bit quiet today. When she looked up, Jing Ming's expression was a little bit wrong, it seemed sad and happy, and it looked a little distorted.
Yan Ying asked, "What happened?"
Jing Ming lowered his head so that people could not see his face clearly: "I have found my family."
Yan Ying raised her eyebrows, looked at Jing Ming's obscure expression, and waited for his follow-up.
Jingming let out a foul breath: "When I returned to the mansion that day, they were the ones who came to recognize my relatives, and my childhood memories can be vaguely matched. I don't know what to do. They want me to go home to recognize my relatives, me, me..."
He used to hate it so much, why did the parents who had lost their conscience sell him to be a eunuch?He even thought of countless vicious ways to make them regret having betrayed him, but now that they are here, they don't know whether to hate or miss him more?
Yan Ying sighed silently. Since the family was able to find Dongchang accurately, it meant that the family knew Jingming. But since they could find someone now, why didn't they look for him before?
Yan Ying put down the brush in her hand: "If you want to go back, then I will accompany you to have a look."
Jing Ming looked up at the encouragement and support Yan Ying gave him, and the weeds crawling wantonly on the edge of the barrenness deep in his heart seemed to have stopped growing.
The next day, Yan Ying was wearing regular clothes, followed by several guards, Jing Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The Jing family lives in a courtyard house in the city. His parents and brothers barely make ends meet by working for others. After he entered the house, the whole family knew his identity, and they were obedient and respectful in front of him. , but when he turned around, they all looked at him with strange eyes.
The old man lying on the bed was babbling about the old things when he was a child, Jing Ming didn’t remember whether what he said was true or not, and the old man said as he said: “Xiao Liu, you have become a high-ranking official now, and you are rich and honorable.” Enjoy it endlessly, but don’t forget your brothers.”
"You have no roots, your eldest brother has four sons, father decides to adopt one for you, and when you get old in the future, he will take care of you until the end of your life..."
There was a bunch of agreeable people next to him, who stayed in this room for three hours. They tried to please him in every possible way in order to extract money and benefits from his nails. Jing Ming suddenly felt that this group of people was worse than those in the palace. The eunuchs at the root are annoying.
With a straight face, he said coldly: "You have admitted the wrong person. Although my name is Jingming, my name was given by the master, and it has nothing to do with you. If you dare to use my name to go outside to eat If you mess around, I'll put you all in prison. Come to think of it, you should have heard of Dongchang's style."
The Jing family was used to being slaves and bowing their knees, and they were suddenly frightened stupid by Jingming, the evil star, and remembered the bad things Dongchang had done, and now they dare not move.
After Jingming came out of the room, his heart was so cold that he murmured to himself: "Maybe he is right. I am a person without roots. I have lost all kinship, so why force it?"
Yan Ying patted him on the shoulder: "Father, second uncle, after the death of the eldest brother, my mother has not forgiven me until now, and the second brother and I are not as close as before. Although I am sad, there is nothing I can do. Probably, we They're all homeless."
"Let's go, go back to the palace—"
