After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed
Chapter 56 What Men Can't Do, Women Can Still Do?
Chapter 56 What Men Can't Do, Women Can Still Do?
The emperor sat upright, and didn't mean to help Jiang Zhao. He wanted to see how Jiang Zhao would respond to these attacks.
If she can't even handle these, she is not qualified to be his courtier.
After all, to be his courtier means to fight against these powerful ministers.
"May I ask my lords, what is the purpose of the imperial examination?"
Jiang Zhao remained calm and did not answer their question, but instead asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, it is for the sake of the country."
Zhao Dang, Guozijian's sacrificial wine, replied.
"Since it is for the national examination, and there is no law that women cannot take the imperial examination, why can't students take the imperial examination and why can't they enter the court as an official?"
Jiang Zhao continued to ask back.
"How can a woman take part in the imperial examination? What is discussed in the imperial court are all state affairs. As a woman, what qualifications do you have to discuss?"
"Letting you step into the court now is an insult to the court."
Among the ministers present, except for Taifu Jiang Ding, everyone looked down on women, and Guozijian Jijiu Zhao Dang looked down on women even more.
When Jiang Zhao stepped into the court and stood on the same ground as him, he felt it was an insult to himself and the court.
Sure enough, he is a stubborn old man, Jiang Zhao thought in his heart.
"Students rely on their own talents to win the first prize, but standing on top of the court, dare to ask this lord, why insult the court?"
If she didn't have some real talent and learning, the emperor wouldn't let her stand here today to argue with this group of stubborn old people, but yesterday he sent someone to arrest her and put her in prison.
But these ministers would not listen to her.
It's good that the No. [-] scholar was not mentioned, but as soon as it was mentioned, Lao Zhen Guogong thought of the military merit system she wrote.
"It's nonsense. You say you have talent, but the military merit system you wrote is just like yours. It's nonsense."
"How can a slave join the army? How can a woman enter the court?"
"Your Majesty, I beseech you, deprive this woman of her fame, put her in jail, and beheaded after autumn!"
In their view, letting slaves join the army is like a woman entering the court, and it is an insult to them.
Prime Minister Du Yuan also stood up to add fuel to the fire, saying: "Your Majesty, women's participation in the imperial examination is against Ganglun and against the rules of etiquette. If Jiang Zhao is not severely punished, our Tianyu Dynasty will soon collapse... Your Majesty!"
The prime minister's words were sincere, as if Jiang Zhao entered the court, and the Tianyu Dynasty was about to collapse.
Jiang Zhao stood in the center of the hall, and every word from the group of ministers was that she was a woman who insulted the imperial examination and the court.
Men have talents, and she does not refute them, but women also have talents. In her previous life, women could also hold up half the sky.
She has backed down repeatedly, but in the end, each of these people still wished that she would be beheaded for public display.
Jiang Zhao had accumulated anger in her heart for a long time, she said angrily.
"Why can't slaves be able to join the army and serve their country if they are capable, and why can't women be able to enter the court to stabilize the court if they are capable?"
"During the time of the first emperor, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the soldiers of foreign races pointed directly at the capital. If the queen mother did not come out to command, I am afraid that the fairy, the Tianyu Dynasty, would have fallen under the horseshoe of the foreign race."
"The queen mother is also a woman. Why can the queen mother command thousands of troops? Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to command an army."
"This shows that what a man can do, a woman can do. What a man can't do, a woman can still do!"
"Imperial examination, fair competition."
"You guys, if you can't pass me in the exam, you want to take away my fame?"
Jiang Zhao glared at the princes above the temple.
She took the Empress Dowager as an example, why the Empress Dowager was asked to command the army in the capital at that time, it was because the princes above the temple did not have this ability, they were all greedy for life and afraid of death.
The foreign races had already reached their doorstep, but they only wanted to surrender to save themselves.
In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who stood up and turned the tide with her own strength, and only then did the current Tianyu Dynasty come into being.
This passage angered all the ministers above the court.
Just as they were about to say something, a strong and honest girl sounded from inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "Well said!"
Then, everyone saw a majestic figure walking in slowly.
After seeing this figure clearly, everyone saluted one after another.
"See Empress Dowager—"
The Empress Dowager walked under the dragon chair, glanced at the group of ministers bent over darkly, but didn't let them get up.
"Is it disrespectful for women to participate in the imperial examination?"
"Is it said in the etiquette system that women cannot take the imperial examination?"
"Is it disrespectful for a woman to take part in the imperial examination?"
"Did the ancestors ever say that women cannot take the imperial examination?"
The empress dowager's majestic voice sounded in the hall.
After asking four times in a row, the group of ministers couldn't even speak.
It is subconsciously believed by everyone that women cannot take part in the imperial examinations. Women's status is inferior to that of slaves, so how can they take part in the imperial examinations?
The prime minister said: "Empress Dowager, although the ancestral etiquette is not stated, but since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is virtue."
"Women should abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, obey their father at home, obey their husband when they get married, and obey their son when their husband dies. How can they go above the court and defile the court?"
Jiang Zhao sneered and said, "My lord, the students are just disguised as men to take part in the imperial examinations, and I deceived you into admitting it."
"But the adults say that the imperial examinations are tarnished and the imperial court is tarnished, and the students absolutely dare not admit it."
"Students disguise themselves as men to participate in the imperial examination. It is not a helpless act, but the students just want to contribute their own power to the country."
Jiang Zhao has already given in very much. She admits that it is wrong for her to disguise herself as a man, and she is willing to accept punishment, but these ministers don't want to let her go.
"Women should take care of their husbands and teach their children at home. How can they add imperial examinations?"
"Not to mention becoming an official in the court, is there no one in my Tianyu Dynasty? It's like a rooster!"
The emperor and empress dowager sitting above frowned when they heard what the ministers said, and they even said such things as Ji Sichen.
Especially the Empress Dowager, could it be that when she put on armor and went into battle, she was also the hen of the morning?
"Master Du, Ai's family has little talent and learning, dare to ask Mr. Du, what is a rooster sitting in the morning?"
Du Yuan, the prime minister, replied with a righteous face for the country: "The sun, the moon, the stars, and the five elements all have their own laws. The rooster Si Chenyi is not in his position or in charge of his duties."
"Then what does it have to do with hens?" asked the Queen Mother.
The prime minister bowed his head and replied, "This is just a metaphor."
"What metaphor? The Ai family would like to hear more about it!" The queen mother asked step by step.
The Prime Minister was already sweating on his brow, he shouldn't have called the Chicken Sichen just now, and even scolded the Queen Mother.
The rooster calls the morning, but through the hen's announcement, it is said that women exceed their powers and make decisions.
It was also impolite for the queen mother to lead the army.
The prime minister cupped his hands and said, "Queen Mother, please forgive me for my lack of talent and learning."
The Queen Mother sneered: "Shallow? Mr. Du is a great Confucian of the fifth rank, so how can he be so ignorant of his knowledge?"
