The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 517
The next day when he went to court, Nan Gongyan issued two new decrees.

The first is that from next year, women can also take part in scientific examinations like men, and those with outstanding talents can enter the court as officials.

The second is to order the establishment of a women's medical office to assist the imperial hospital.The medical officers of the Women's Medical Office are selected from the private sector and must go through multiple assessments, and Ji Qingxue is the direct person in charge of the Women's Medical Office.

As soon as the two decrees came out, there was an uproar in the court, especially because these two decrees had not been discussed with the ministers of Qinzheng Palace in advance, and Nan Gongyan made his own decision, so the reaction of the officials was even more intense.

"How can a woman be an official in the court like a man?"

"That's all for the women's medical office, but if you take part in the scientific examination and become an official in the court, you should ask the emperor to think about it."

……

Nan Gongyan didn't feel annoyed when he saw that the officials below were chattering. He had already expected this in advance. If these ministers accepted it immediately, there would be a problem.

"Silent!" Fu'an stood up under the instruction of Nan Gongyan's eyes, "If the officials have any questions, they can ask them one by one, and there is no need to discuss it privately with His Highness."

As soon as these words came out, the officials suddenly fell silent, and then they all turned their attention to Xiang Qingtian, the chief minister standing in the front. It was obvious that they hoped that Xiang Qingtian could stand up and stop Nangongyan's crazy idea.

Xiang Qingtian bowed his hands to Nan Gongyan, and then said: "Your Majesty, this old minister has the courage to ask, why does your Majesty suddenly have such an idea?"

Xiang Qingtian is Nan Gongyan's mentor, and Nan Gongyan always has some respect for him, besides, he is also Dayan's humerus, and he has a high prestige among the officials.

Nan Gongyan looked at him indifferently: "I don't know what Shoufu's opinion is on the excavation and construction channel plan that I discussed with the engineering department a few days ago?"

The officials were waiting for Nan Gongyan to explain, but he changed the subject to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiang Qingtian said without hesitation: "The veteran thinks this method is very good. Although it won't see the effect in the short term, but in the long run, it can be done once and for all, and prevent the people from suffering from floods again."

Nan Gongyan smiled lightly, waved his sleeves, and said with deep meaning: "It seems that the chief assistant is quite satisfied with the method of digging and building branches to drain traffic, but this method is not my idea, but the empress's suggestion. "

There was a sound of astonishment among all the officials, no one expected that the demon queen they were talking about was so intelligent.

"Since that incident, I have often been thinking about it. There is no absolute thing in this world. Who can guarantee that men must be smarter than women? Why can't we let go of prejudice and let women also participate in national affairs?"

You Huaizhu was the first to stand up and support Nan Gongyan: "I feel that the emperor's words are reasonable. Those who are capable in the middle and high officials live there. It is not surprising that women take part in scientific examinations."

All the officials protested silently without speaking. They still felt that this matter was too nonsense. Didn't this overthrow all the rules set by the ancestors?
A loud roar came from outside the hall: "The empress is here!"

This sound really shocked all the officials. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, but everyone in the harem can't avoid it, but she, Ji Qingxue, dared to come here. It seems that the emperor has spoiled this woman so much.

Ji Qingxue walked slowly, and finally stood in front of all the officials. Although she had opinions in her heart, she still had to be courteous.

"Your Majesty, wait for the Queen's Empress." Everyone shouted.

Ji Qingxue's eyebrows and eyes were as clear as distant mountains, and she glanced at the kneeling officials, but she had no intention of getting them up.

"I've been outside the palace just now, and I've heard what the ministers said. I don't know if I should ask a few questions."

Everyone bowed their heads: "But listen to the empress's teachings."

Ji Qingxue walked lightly, shuttled around the officials: "General Cai You said just now that no matter the size of the official position, there are capable people in the court. If women can successfully pass the imperial examination, why not let them enter the court as officials? "

A courageous official said disdainfully: "There is no precedent for a woman to be an official in the court. This is the rule set by the ancestors. Is it possible that the empress wants to violate the ancestral system?"

Ji Qingxue frowned, and said coldly: "The rules set by the ancestors? I'm afraid they are the rules set by you men."

"Why did the empress make such a statement?"

"In your hearts, you have long been used to the days when your wives and concubines regard you as heaven. To put it bluntly, they are your attachments, a means for you to show off. Although you are the closest people in the world, you are from the bottom of your heart. They were never given true equality."

Ji Qingxue caused waves in Baiguan's heart, and everyone started whispering again, talking a lot.

Someone popped up, as if wanting to justify himself: "The empress's words are wrong, I have never thought of this before."

Ji Qingxue had a mocking smile on her face: "No? There are people in this hall who count as one, who can stand upright and pat his chest and tell me that in your eyes there is no distinction between male superiority and female inferiority?"

As a result, all the officials buried their heads even lower.

"The reason why you are angry is because what I said is true. You think that women only need to be at home with their husbands and children, and wash their hands to make soup. The reason why you are so fiercely opposed to women being officials in the court is because you are afraid One day the woman you despise will surpass you in your favorite place."

Ji Qingxue's eyes became more and more fierce, these stubborn people really need to be educated, "There are so many talented and talented women in my big swallow, why do they have to live at home and waste their lives with their husbands and children , sometimes you have to suffer from your white eyes and cowardice, have you ever given women the equal respect they deserve? Don't look down on women, is there anyone here who didn't come out of a woman's belly?"

"Besides, gold shouldn't be buried. Women and men take part in the scientific examination at the same time. The system is as strict, and there is no special treatment just because they are women. So what are you afraid of? You are so small, I feel ashamed for you!"

Ji Qingxue stood among the officials, her voice was like a bell, and every word and every word came to their ears very clearly.

And Nan Gongyan had been sitting on the dragon chair, and he winked quietly at Ji Qingxue, which meant that he did a good job.

His Axue is so different and unique.
