Chapter 317 You are their light
After the queen finished speaking, she was still not satisfied and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know that those girls who went to the government office to seek justice were all imprisoned by Zhang Yushi?"
The emperor did not feel wronged. He said, "Zhang Yushi explained to them with emotion and reason, but they were still stubborn. If extraordinary measures were not taken, I am afraid that the government offices in the capital would still be paralyzed now!"
The queen's heart sank. She had always hoped that the emperor was kept in the dark. Now it seems that the emperor knows everything. He is just like Zhang Yushi and does not regard those girls as human beings.
The queen just thought she was funny. What exactly was she expecting? He knew best what kind of person the emperor was.
She adjusted her skirt and said mockingly, "Now that there is such a commotion, even the entire capital is paralyzed. This is what the emperor wants!"
The emperor pretended to be confused and asked, "What does the queen mean? Girls' schools are misleading people, making every girl want to pursue a career like a man. If this continues, who will be willing to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children? I heard that many girls in girls' schools are already fifteen or sixteen years old and have no plans to get married.
If all the girls in the world follow their example, the country will be ruined! I just ordered the closure of girls' schools and did not embarrass them, but they dared to challenge me openly. What else can they not do?"
"It turns out that in the emperor's mind, women are just tools to give birth to children and continue the bloodline. Has the emperor ever thought that in this era, only the principal wife can stay at home to take care of the husband and children. Those concubines, even if they give birth to children, are not even worthy of being called mothers.
If it were not for this girls' school, how many of them would have been slaves for others all their lives, how many would have starved to death or frozen to death on the streets, and how many would have been sold to brothels and left a bad reputation for thousands of years.
Your Majesty, your sister just wants women to live like human beings. Not everyone covets your throne!"
The queen made it clear directly. She wanted the emperor to know how ridiculous her suspicions and speculations were.
After hearing what the Queen said, Yang Shun felt that something was wrong. The Queen had never given the Emperor face in these years, but what she said today was really too much. Could she just say it directly? The Queen was going to suffer this time. Sure
enough, the Emperor did not hold back this time. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He paused for a long time before saying, "The Queen is worried about the Queen Mother, and she is so angry that she has hysteria and is talking nonsense. Someone, send the Queen back to Fengyi Palace to recuperate. No one is allowed to disturb her. During the Queen's recuperation, Huiping will manage the affairs of the six palaces!"
The Emperor was angry, so Yang Shun had to arrange for someone to send the Queen back to the palace. The
Queen waved her sleeves and scolded, "I will leave by myself!" After that, she walked out of the Qinzheng Palace with her head held high.
This time, she broke off completely with the emperor. Although the emperor had done things that were not upright in the past, he had his own frustrations.
But regarding the girls' school, the emperor was a little too nervous.
With the development of girls' schools today, it is understandable that women want to serve as officials in the court, and it is understandable that the emperor is worried about the decline of his husband's career.
In this era, it is not so easy for women to break free from the shackles.
If the emperor had only rejected this proposal and put some constraints on the girls' school, the queen could have tolerated it.
But he directly ordered the school to be closed, and did not make any arrangements for the students in the school. He allowed Zhang Yushi to suppress the people with violence, and even killed people, and he was unmoved.
The emperor is no longer the emperor she knew at the beginning, or perhaps she has never really understood the emperor.
Such a person who is always suspicious, full of suspicion, and who regards human life as worthless can only become a tyrant.
This incident is indeed not that simple, but the emperor's recklessness will only chill those who are loyal to him.
Your Majesty, Dashuo should be able to create an unprecedented prosperous dynasty with Xiaoxiao, and peace and prosperity will no longer be a luxury. But he has disappointed people time and time again, and his ancestors' coffins can't even cover their bodies.
Thinking of Xiaoxiao, the smile on the queen's face spread. Xiaoxiao would not let him continue to be absurd, would she?
"A-choo!" Su Xiaoxiao, who was writing, sneezed loudly.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately dropped her pen and ran to Su Lingxi to act coquettishly: "Sister, Xiaoxiao is sick and can't write!"
Su Lingxi, who was worried, rubbed Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Let's go out and play!"
Su Xiaoxiao was very happy: [Sister is so easy to deceive today, she let me go so easily. ]
Just then, Zhao Wanyue walked in, and Bai Zhi behind her was holding a tray.
"There are delicious foods!" Su Xiaoxiao jumped to the table, sat down obediently, and waited for Bai Zhi to bring her snacks.
If she didn't cook well, her mother would not let her eat.
Soon, Su Xiaoxiao started to eat heartily, and Su Lingxi was still full of worries.
Zhao Wanyue walked up to her and said softly, "Don't think about it. The old lady's death was not your fault. You haven't eaten for a whole day. Eat something. Otherwise, your body won't be able to bear it!"
Su Lingxi's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She said guiltily, "Mom, it's my fault. I killed Granny Qiu!"
She felt extremely guilty. If she hadn't ordered the school manager to organize everyone to petition the government, Granny Qiu wouldn't have died, and those girls wouldn't have been arrested and imprisoned.
Although the uncle said that he had already told Xie Yicheng that he wouldn't make things difficult for those who were arrested, they had already killed people. What else could they believe?
And Granny Qiu, she listened to what she said and thought that her life could allow the girls' school to reopen. She killed her!
Su Lingxi blamed herself and felt guilty. She even doubted whether it was right or wrong for her to run a girls' school.
She let those girls open their eyes and ears, but before they had a good look at the world, they were blinded and their ears were pierced.
The fleeting light is more torturous than living in darkness all the time.
The eldest princess said that the girls' school will definitely see the light of day again, but she didn't want to pave this road with innocent blood.
Su Xiaoxiao vaguely understood why her sister was sad. She sighed and thought: "Sister is really blaming herself for that old woman. In fact, the old woman's life span is over. Even if she is saved, she will not live for more than three days. The old woman has a premonition. She actually wants to use her life to make the administrator of the girls' school treat her granddaughter well!" Su Xiaoxiao thought about it
, picked up a snack and handed it to Su Lingxi: "Sister, it was the officials who killed people. If you really feel sorry for the old woman, take good care of her granddaughter for her. Not only will the old woman not blame you, but she will be grateful to you. Others will also be grateful to you. You are their light. If you fall, they will really be helpless!"
"I am their light!" Su Lingxi murmured to herself. Xiaoxiao was right. She had given those women hope. How could she abandon them in the darkness again? She must save them!
