12. Chapter 12 Women can hold up half the sky



They are not considered precious, but they carry an aura that ordinary people cannot detect. That is why they were not stored in Madam Tang and her family's warehouse.

Mu Nanjin looked at the herbs and walked towards the bedroom, but when he thought about making a lot of money from it in the future and no longer having to live a penniless life, he turned back.

She picked up several different herbs and placed them on her palm, then concentrated her spiritual power in her palm. Driven by the spiritual power, the herbs slowly flew up and spun rapidly. One by one, the herbs slowly condensed into three beauty pills.

"It's inconvenient without a furnace."

Fortunately, there are also cultivators in this world.

Although I have only met one immortal cultivator, the Imperial Master, so far, it is still possible for him to find a furnace to refine medicine.

Mu Nanjin refined several kinds of pills before going to bed.

I had slept for less than three hours when I was woken up by the servants in the mansion to have breakfast.

Mu Nanjin's face was full of resentment.

She really wanted to quit her job at Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei's job was likely related to the tasks mentioned by the system, so she had to bear it.

Mu Qinyi announced to everyone after breakfast that he would leave the capital for a mission elsewhere.

Tang Liuzhao remained silent.

Seeing that she had no objection, Emperor Wenzong of Tang did not say much. He stood up and went with Tang Liuzhao and others to see Mu Qinyi out.

The servants had already led the horses and carriage to the gate.

Mu Qinyi saw the black horse and asked Mu Nanjin, "Have you thought of a name for the black horse?"

Mu Nanjin said a name without thinking: "Heitan."

Tang Wenzong and Tang Jingrui: "..."

This name sounds like a dog's name and is not at all worthy of the tall and handsome black horse.

"Charcoal? What a good name." Mu Qinyi smiled cheerfully: "It is indeed as black as charcoal."

He always had a stern face in front of other people, and only laughed heartily in front of Mu Nanjin. He even gave her a black horse worth more than 50,000 gold. No wonder Tang Liuzhao felt jealous.

Mu Qinyi turned over and sat on his horse, looking ahead and said, "Protect her well."

Heitan hissed.

Tang Jingrui nodded: "I will."

Mu Qinyi looked back at him, then rode away on his horse.

Tang Liuzhao turned around silently and went back into the house.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang wanted to say a few words of comfort, but as the time for the morning court session was almost up, he had to give up.

Mu Nanjin turned over and lay on Heitan, patting its neck: "Let's go to the palace."

“Oh—”

The black horse ran towards the palace.

"Hey, Mu Nanjin can actually ride a horse? That's bad." Tang Wenzong's carriage was chasing after him: "Mu Nanjin, listen to me, your horse is too eye-catching. You'd better not ride this horse to the palace. It may bring you trouble."

Mu Nanjin ignored his words and fell asleep, and her horse ran so fast that she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tang Wenzong was so angry that he hammered the chair and said: "The Tang family will fall into her hands sooner or later."

As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, the emperor and his ministers went to court on time.

The emperor did not beat around the bush and asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think of my opening a national school for girls?"

The left prime minister took the lead and walked to the middle of the ministers, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is an old saying that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Since ancient times, women have only been responsible for being dignified, chaste, kind and virtuous, obeying their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage, knowing how to support their husbands and educate their children, and respecting their parents-in-law. Only with such a virtuous wife can the family be harmonious and happy."

The Right Prime Minister followed and said, "Your Majesty, we in Daqian don't have a special examination for women, so opening a national school for women is a meaningless thing. Why should we let women show their faces in public and violate morals?"

The other ministers discussed in low voices.

"Apart from what the Left and Right Prime Minister said, the only girls who can study in the academy are the children of wealthy families. Children from ordinary families cannot afford the tuition, nor do they have the time to study in the academy."

"Powerful families value their daughters so much that they can hire teachers to teach them at home. Why bother sending them to study in schools? Besides, girls only need to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting and needlework. Anything more is useless to them and they won't need it."

"Yeah yeah."

The emperor saw that no minister agreed with him, and his face became more and more unsightly. He said in a deep voice: "What if I not only want to open a national school for women, but also hold a special examination for women? In this way, opening a national school for women will not be meaningless."

The ministers knelt down hurriedly to persuade him: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"You..." The emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne and stood up, almost walking away in anger.

[Fuck you, a bunch of old-fashioned old men. ]

The ministers' faces changed drastically.

The emperor's anger faded slightly and he raised his eyebrows.

【Have you read so many books but never heard the sayings like 'women are as good as men', 'slender shoulders can also bear heavy responsibilities', 'women can also hold up half the sky'? If you haven't heard them, then the books you have read are useless. 】

The ministers' faces turned red.

She really wanted to refute Mu Nanjin's words, but she couldn't let her know that they could hear her.

[You just can't stand losing. You're afraid that women are stronger than you, so you say that women without talent are virtuous. Take the tigress in the left prime minister's house for example. Last night, she made him kneel on an abacus because he was drunk. Humph, this punishment is really light. If I were him, I would make him kneel on a nail board and see if he dares to say that women without talent are virtuous.]

The ministers looked towards the left prime minister while trying not to laugh.

"I suddenly remembered that Zuo Xiang's body was always covered with bruises. He said he bumped into them, but now it seems he was beaten by the tigress at home. He even boasted that he had a virtuous wife at home."

"No wonder he rarely invites us to his house. Is he afraid that we'll know that there's a tigress in his family?"

Zuo Xiang's face looked extremely ugly, and he wished he could bury his head in the ground and never see anyone again.

The emperor was delighted and waited to see if he would object.

[With a tigress in the family, it is no wonder that the left prime minister opposes the opening of a girls' school. An illiterate tigress is already extremely ferocious. If she reads and gains knowledge, she will definitely be able to ride on his head.]

[Although there is no tigress in the right prime minister's family, he is a man who loves his mother. He obeys his mother's words in everything. He wants to resist but dares not to, and he feels very frustrated. When he heard that the emperor was going to open a girls' school, he resisted in his heart, fearing that the women in this world would become like his mother and control men. Alas, I really don't know how such a person became the right prime minister? ]

[There is also the General of the Western Expedition. Although he is tall and strong, the civil officials are afraid of him. But in fact, when facing his wife...]

"emperor--"

General Zhengxi, who was originally watching the show, shouted hurriedly when he heard Mu Nanjin mentioned himself in his heart. The ministers and the emperor who were listening with great interest were startled by him.

Mu Nanjin's thoughts were interrupted. She looked out the window at the court and saw the General of the Western Expedition rushing to the left prime minister and kneeling down: "I have something to say."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"I think the left and right prime ministers are wrong. Women may seem weak and cannot match men in strength, but they are brave and careful. Their perseverance and wit are on par with men. If they are allowed to go to the battlefield one day, I dare say that their bravery is no less than that of men."

The emperor suppressed his laughter and said, "Go on..."

"I think it is a wise decision for the emperor to open a girls' school. I also think that they should not only learn literature, but also martial arts. One day, women will be able to fight and kill enemies, and strengthen our army. Our Daqian country will become stronger and stronger, surpassing other countries."
