Chapter 142 Femme fatale

Dumb drug?As if a biting cold wind was blowing, everyone felt chills down their backs, and the way they looked at Yun Changyi changed.

The faces of Emperor Changde and the Empress Dowager froze for a moment, but since Emperor Changde had already praised Yun Changyi himself and rewarded her the moment before, the next moment, it was discovered that all the dancers had been fooled by her. If he is dumb, what is his face?

After thinking about it, Emperor Changde coughed lightly and ordered: "Take them all down for treatment first, maybe it's because of other reasons that caused their discomfort."

Even if the imperial doctor understood what he meant, he immediately said: "I obeyed the order, just now, it is probably because my eyesight is poor. I will go to treat them again."

Everyone understood and understood Emperor Changde's intentions, so they didn't say a word.

However, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. It was clearly autumn, but it was so cold that people wanted to breathe.

Yun Changyi was dripping with cold sweat, lowered his head humbly, bit his lips and said nothing.Although Emperor Changde no longer believed in her, it was relatively beneficial to cover up the matter intentionally.

At this time, the best thing to do is to say nothing.

Emperor Changde frowned, flung his sleeves and was about to leave, but when he saw Yun Changyi's poem, he felt a love for talents in his heart.

"Let's also frame the harp quotes made by the Anle County Lord."

Several palace people immediately stepped forward, ready to roll up the ink on the rice paper after it dries up.

At this moment, Feng Xihe quietly walked up to the scholar Lin of the Imperial Academy, and sighed softly to Qian Yun, "It's a pity that the Anle County Lord is full of poetic talents."

Lin Xueshi has always been dissatisfied with Yun Changyi, and after learning that those dancers were dumbed by her, he became even more angry.After hearing this, he snorted coldly with disdain: "It's just a superficial appearance. There is a snake-like heart hidden inside. No matter how high your talent is, what's the use of it!"

His words exploded like a thunderbolt, causing everyone present to whisper.

Emperor Changde suddenly stopped when he heard the discussion behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Xueshi Lin strode up to Yun Changyi, and said sharply, "Master Anle, it's not your fault to teach your father. I suspect that your parents probably never taught you what a conscience is, and let you grow wildly." , that caused you to develop your current temperament."

"Your behavior, even people like Benbutang who have lived for so many years have lingering fears, let alone other people. No wonder the young master of the Xu family who was abandoned by you would throw out a letter of divorce and cut off your robes. Righteousness, old age and death do not communicate."

Yun Changyi's face was pale, and she raised her eyes slightly, only using the corner of her eyes to inquire about Emperor Changde's reaction.

If the crowd is outraged, there is no guarantee that Emperor Changde will not find a name to send her off in order to appease the crowd.

After thinking about it for a while, before Emperor Changde came, she knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed again and again, and admitted her mistake openly, "What Master Lin said is true, and the daughter of the people knows that the crime is serious, so for Lin Your lord's accusation cannot be refuted."

When she said this, the surrounding discussion became much quieter.Everyone did not expect that she would admit her mistake directly.

You must know that no matter which one she does, it is against the dogma of female virtue.

Feng Xihe's eyes were full of interest, as if he was looking forward to Yun Changyi's next performance.

Seeing Yun Changyi Shengxue's face stained with desolation and sadness, she said word by word: "But, you only know how to blame Chang Yi, but never ask why Chang Yi became such a woman."

"Chang Yi was born in a small county in Gusu. Her father passed away early. Although her mother married from Feng Guogong's mansion, she didn't read many books, and she didn't even know enough about the most basic female virtues. Many. What Master Lin said is not wrong, Chang Yi's parents did not teach me well."

"It wasn't until I returned to Jinling that my mother pleaded with Mrs. Feng and invited a female teacher to come over for Changyi, so that Changyi began to study poetry and art. However, her temperament was cultivated at a young age, and her foundation was not well established. She was corrected the day after tomorrow. It needs a process. This is the injustice of fate, if Changyi fully bears it, it will be unreasonable."

Every word she said was so loud that people couldn't help but sympathize with her experience.

Feng Xihe's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were cold. Yun Changyi said this, while excused himself, he also secretly demoted Feng Guogong's mansion, trying to make people mistakenly think that Feng Guogong's mansion was harsh on the concubine, even the basic No female virtue has ever taught Feng Ruolan. If Feng Ruolan wants to hire a teacher for Yun Changyi, it all depends on Mrs. Feng's face.

"I also sympathize with what happened to the Anle County Lord." After a while, Feng Xihe walked out slowly, with a piercing voice, "However, I always believe that although background is part of the reason, the real practice still depends on the individual."

"Otherwise, back then, when my grandmother asked all the young ladies in the mansion to study, regardless of the concubines, the results after they finished their studies would not be different. For what Aunt Ruolan proposed, my grandmother would invite a master of female studies to come over. The teacher agrees with us very much, but I didn’t grasp it well.”

"Furthermore, Anle County Lord can't beat everyone to death with one stick. As far as I know, many girls who are more unfortunate than you and of low status also have conscience. Conscience is more based on self-consciousness, not through indoctrination by others. .”

Yun Changyi bit his lower lip stubbornly, and said bravely: "What I just said is only one aspect of the situation, Miss Feng, please don't misunderstand that I am generalizing."

Then, she raised her eyes, looked confidently at Emperor Changde, and said: "Your Majesty, Changyi has suffered from no one to teach her for many years. The reason is that a woman like me has no master to teach her."

"In the dead of night, I would think hard about how to make other women make the same mistakes. Later, Chang Yi came up with a plan."

Emperor Changde remembered that Yun Changyi had offered a disaster relief plan before, and this time, there might be surprises, so he became interested for a while.

"Come and listen."

"We can set up women's schools, set up women's subjects in the imperial examinations, and focus on examining women's virtues in the examination subjects." Yun Changyi bit the bullet and said: "We can set up a few pilot sites in Jinling City first, and then promote it to Ningguo. elsewhere."

"Changyi's idea is to allow more women to have the opportunity to learn, to enable them to acquire knowledge, and to cultivate their morality. While writing magnificent poems, they will also be able to improve their own lives after they marry. Virtue is enough to convince the public and manage the family better."

When the words fell, Lin Xueshi asked very suspiciously: "You said earlier that you added a women's department, and then you said that you would get married. Isn't it contradictory. Adding a female department, if a woman takes the imperial examination, how many people will be ranked? Do you want to be an official in the court like a man?"

"There is no precedent for a woman to be an official in the court. If a woman is rashly allowed to become an official and interfere with the government, it will be messed up. How can they still have the intention to marry and manage the family peacefully!"

Yun Changyi replied: "Allowing women to take the imperial examination is just a way of motivation, so that they have enough motivation to study and cultivate virtue. At that time, the few who are ranked can be given false titles, which will not hinder to their marriage."

Emperor Changde listened to the arguments of several people in front, and his complexion gradually became clear, but he also had doubts.

"You just said to set up a girls' school, but the poor must not have enough money to send their daughters to the school. If it is a free school, funded by the imperial court, the national treasury may not be able to support this huge expenditure."

Yun Changyi lowered his eyes and said in detail: "The cost of building a school does not need to be funded by the national treasury. The imperial court can take the lead and appeal to wealthy businessmen to donate. In order to gain fame, wealthy businessmen are very willing to do good deeds that benefit the country and the people. "

"Master Anle County, you are really thoughtful." Emperor Changde couldn't help applauding, and the others were also surprised by Yun Changyi, who could think what ordinary people couldn't.

And Yun Changyi's heart is bleeding, this is one of the bargaining chips she has prepared for her future, and she plans to use it in the final stage of seizing the throne to bless Gu Jincheng, and at the same time, let Gu Jincheng know that she is An indispensable help for him, holding the phoenix seat firmly in his hand.

Now, due to the situation, when the time is not yet ripe, to announce the construction of the girls' school in advance, in fact, is to push her to a disadvantageous position.

Feng Xihe looked at Yun Changyi and thought to himself, if Yun Changyi carried out this idea, it would definitely cause an uproar and completely expose her edge.

All factions in the court will definitely keep a close eye on her, and her enemies will increase a lot at once. Emperor Changde doesn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, he will question her ambition and observe her secretly.

If Yun Changyi continued to work quietly for Gu Jincheng like in the past, it would naturally be impossible.Every step will be like walking on the tip of a knife.

"Xihe respects the Anle County Lord very much." After a while, Feng Xihe said with a smile, "Anle County Lord wants rich and wealthy businessmen to donate, and it must be donated to the charity hall built." .”

"Since Xihe is managing the Shantang together with the county lord, then I should also participate in this matter. Xihe is willing to do his best to help the county lord to carry out this measure that benefits the country and the people."

Yun Changyi's heart sank slightly, Feng Xi was present at the philanthropic hall, and she didn't want wealthy businessmen to donate to the philanthropic hall.

Emperor Changde was very pleased with Feng Xihe's performance, and couldn't help boasting to Ruan Zhaoming: "Ruan Aiqing, the daughter you taught is really extraordinary."

Then, he said lightly: "Then you two will be in charge of this matter. If you need manpower, you can transfer people to the court."

"The girl obeys." Yun Changyi seemed to be flattered to respond, but in fact, he seemed to be walking on thin ice.

"Your servant obeys." Feng Xihe complied calmly, with an elegant and respectful demeanor.

Gu Jincheng's eyes wandered over the two of them, and when he looked at Yun Changyi, he felt a little more disappointed.

After a long time, after Emperor Changde explained everything, everyone left here and went to the imperial garden in twos and threes to enjoy the night view of the imperial garden.

Feng Xihe also took Qian Yun to play casually in the imperial garden.

When Feng Xihe walked to a path paved with colorful stones full of flowers, he could see Gu Jinnian holding a necklace made of moonstone in a trance.
