[General Zhengxi was able to win many battles, and his wife played an indispensable role. In most of the battles, it was his wife who gave him advice and strategies, and it was she who went deep into the enemy many times to rescue the soldiers. If you don't support the emperor in establishing the National Academy for Women and the Women's Imperial Examination to help your wife get a military officer, you will be too sorry for your wife.]
Everyone looked at General Zhengxi in surprise.
When the General of the Western Expedition met the emperor's inquiring gaze, he nodded guiltily to indicate that what Mu Nanjin said was true.
If it weren't for his wife, he would probably only hold a fifth or sixth rank official position now, and would never have the chance to get the third rank position of General of the Western Expedition in this life.
The emperor couldn't wait to meet this heroic woman. If she was really as good as Mu Nanjin described, he was willing to eliminate dissidents for her and promote her to the rank of female general.
"My dear Zheng, please come to the imperial study after the court session."
The General of the Western Expedition nodded.
The emperor asked the other ministers: "What about the others? Is there anyone who supports my proposal?"
Without waiting for others to speak, Mu Nanjin's thoughts came out again.
【Those who do not support the emperor's decision are a bunch of old men who think they are smarter and more capable than women. If you are really capable, go live in the harem for a few days and see how the ladies fight in the palace. I guarantee that you will doubt your own IQ. If you join the palace fight, I dare to guarantee with my head that you will not survive more than three days in the harem.】
These words made the ministers shudder as they thought of the concubines who died tragically in the harem and the princes who did not live past their first birthday.
The methods used by the harem were beyond their imagination. For example, Concubine Song who cuckolded the emperor, she might not know until her death that she was deliberately dragged into this situation by Xu Zhaorong, and in the end her entire family was implicated by the two of them.
Although everything seems calm today, the Song and Xu families have actually been secretly executed.
[Facts have proven that when women become ruthless, even you men will find them scary, but when they become smart, you men will have no chance at all.]
Mu Nanjin became angrier and angrier as he spoke.
[Fuck, I can only curse these stinky old guys in my heart. It's really aggrieved. I really want to rush to the court and scold them. I will feel satisfied only if I scold them to death.]
Ministers: “…”
There is no need to rush in. There is no need to rush in at all. He has already scolded us to the point where we cannot refute.
Mu Nanjin took a few deep breaths.
[The emperor is wise and does not look down on women. The women of Daqian are blessed. Long live the emperor... uh... the emperor is just an ordinary person and it is impossible for him to live more than ten thousand years. It is better to let the emperor live five hundred years. As long as the imperial master can refine the longevity pill, the emperor can live longer. ]
Longevity Pill...
The emperor and his ministers' pupils also shrank, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
Can the national teacher refine the elixir of longevity?
Mu Nanjin had no idea what terrible news his inner voice revealed.
[Hey, why is the palace quiet again? It's obviously a good thing to teach women to read and write, why do you think about it for so long as if it's an unforgivable offense? Don't you think about the fact that you also have daughters, especially the ministers who don't have sons. If your daughters can pass the imperial examination, can they also replace the sons to bring honor to the family? If you are worried that they will get married, then come and recruit sons-in-law. I believe many people are willing to marry into your family. ]
The Minister of Justice, who had only ten daughters in his family, suddenly brightened up and walked out excitedly and said, "I agree with the emperor to open a women's college, and I also agree with the emperor to create a special examination for women."
Then, many ministers stood up to support, and even the left and right prime ministers who had opposed it at the beginning stood up hesitantly.
What else could they do if they didn't stand up? Would they wait for Mu Nanjin to dig out all the secrets of their ancestors? The emperor was so happy to see that all the ministers agreed with his proposal, and he waved his hand and said, "Dismiss the court."
The ministers had no intention of making further reports, and left Taijin Palace one after another.
[It's rare that I get off court before the hour of Chen, I want to go home and sleep till the sun goes down. ]
Mu Nanjin hadn't taken two steps when she heard Captain Liu calling her.
"Mu Nanjin."
[Damn it, he must be up to no good when he calls me. He must want me to do something else. I won't go.]
[I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you, I’m going to pretend I can’t hear you to the end.]
Captain Liu's forehead was crisscrossed with black lines. He stepped forward and pressed her shoulders: "Mu Nanjin, I have something to talk to you about."
[You always say you need me for something, are you really that dependent on me? If you leave me, there will be no one left in the Jinyiwei? ]
"No matter what you need from me, I have to tell you first. I am a weak man. I don't know anything except where to get my monthly salary."
Veins on Captain Liu's forehead were throbbing.
Who is it?
Who assigned her to him in the first place?
He knew that the person who assigned her to his work must have a grudge against him.
If you can't kill him, then find someone to piss him off to death.
Mu Nanjin was puzzled: "Why aren't you talking? Is everything alright again? If everything is alright, I'll go back."
"Something's up." Captain Liu squeezed out two words from his teeth: "If you do this well, your reward will be even greater than yesterday."
When Mu Nanjin heard that there was money, his eyes sparkled: "How much is it?"
Captain Liu said meaningfully: "It depends on how obedient you are."
"Smooth?" Mu Nanjin didn't quite understand what he meant.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."
Her thoughts would become known to everyone, and Captain Liu did not dare to speak them out in public.
"So mysterious? Where are you going to tell it?"
"Come with me."
Captain Liu turned around and saw Eunuch Shou coming towards him. He was the chief eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace.
"Meet the Shougong."
"Greetings, Lord Liu." Eunuch Shou returned the greeting with a smile, then turned his gaze to Mu Nanjin: "Lord Liu, the Queen Mother wants to see Guard Mu."
When Captain Liu heard that the Queen Mother was looking for Mu Nanjin, he quickly stuffed a silver ingot into the hands of Eunuch Shou and asked, "Excuse me, Eunuch Shou, what is the Queen Mother's purpose in seeing Mu Nanjin?"
Eunuch Shou took the silver with a smile and said, "It's because of Princess Xueyu's matter. Guard Mu should know what's going on."
Captain Liu looked at Mu Nanjin.
Mu Nanjin didn't say anything.
[Tsk, you couldn't win the argument yesterday so I asked my elders to back me up. This is all a princess can do.]
Captain Liu didn't know the whole story and was extremely anxious. He lowered his voice and asked, "What on earth did you do to Princess Xueyu?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Mu Nanjin patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
[I am so sleepy, someone sent me a pillow. Last night I was still thinking about how to make money, and today someone sent it to my door. That’s great, I can go make money. ]
Captain Liu: “…”
