Qin Yuanhao shook his head in disappointment when he heard this.
"Yuan Sian, I have always respected you for your devotion to the country and your unwavering commitment to not taking sides in the court. Today, you actually said such words for your son. I was wrong in my judgment."
"As a result, you can't even handle your household affairs properly. You allow your wife to abuse your daughter-in-law and your son to have a mistress."
"I would like to ask all the ministers, if you can't even handle your own family affairs, how can you do practical things for the country and the people?"
Qin Yuanhao rebuked him loudly, "Since that's the case, I allow you to return home and take care of your family affairs. Return the Yang family's daughter's dowry in full within five days, and take Yuan Chengli to the Yang family to apologize."
"And Censor Fang, your concubine's daughter has been a mistress to someone else for eight years, and you said you didn't know?"
"Who believes it?"
"If the little princess feels unwell in any way, I will be extremely worried."
"How do you become a father?"
"So many children are abducted and sold in our country every year because of the irresponsible behavior of your parents. Just like Minister Yuan, you should return home!"
"Your Majesty, I obey your command." The two finally stopped arguing and spoke in unison.
Who could have imagined that we would get such a result today?
"The Censorate was originally meant to monitor all officials, but now many people are openly giving gifts to the Censors. Does this mean the Censorate is just a nominal position?"
When Qin Yuanhao said this, his eyes were glancing at the Deputy Minister of Personnel below.
"I dare not." All the officials knelt on the ground. They regretted it so much now. They felt that they had been drawn into the show today.
"I dare not. I think you are very brave."
Qin Yuanhao thought that he had been feeling aggrieved for so long, and today he finally had the chance to settle the score.
The former Shangshu did not openly take sides, so how many years has his son been having a mistress?
That grandson is already eight years old, and you say you haven’t seen him?
Who believes it?
It's just to leave a way out for myself.
Once the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will naturally be the eldest prince's man.
The eldest prince failed, but he was innocent because of ignorance!
Let’s look at Censor Fang. As a censor, he does not supervise the officials, but uses his official position to win over people to submit to the eldest prince.
He's not dead yet, why are you so anxious?
It was just a bait deliberately put out by the Prime Minister, and this stupid guy took the bait.
His impatient look was extremely ugly.
"There are so many officials in our dynasty, and each of them performs their duties. Is this how they act?"
"Why can't you be like General Yang, who can lead troops to the border and then return to the court to serve me?"
"Your Majesty, this is impossible! General Yang holds the Tiger Tally and cannot hold such an important position again."
This time it was the Minister of Personnel who stood up. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Qin Yuanhao for a long time.
In fact, I felt extremely regretful in my heart. Why did I have to talk so much?
Seeing that no one spoke below, Qin Yuanhao nodded and continued.
"I have a few things to say today. First, the Tiger Talisman has been handed over to General Yang. Therefore, General Yang will be appointed Right Censor."
All the officials looked at Yang Yongsheng beside them in surprise.
They never imagined that the other party would hand over the tiger talisman so easily.
Yang Yongsheng lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Only the little princess in the dark was dancing with joy in her heart.
What's the use of the Tiger Talisman? Those soldiers went through fire and water with my grandfather. How could they be controlled by a Tiger Talisman?
【For a long time, the easiest thing to change is the public's heart.】
[Whoever wins the hearts of the people will be the king of this country.]
When Qin Yuanhao heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He had never heard these words before. They were completely different from what the doctor and the previous emperor taught him.
But he had a hunch that what Zhenzhen said was true.
Some things can no longer be done the same way as before.
"Where is the Hanlin scholar?"
"I'm here." The Hanlin scholar was a little confused. Why did this person come to him?
"The second thing I want to say is that I want to rewrite the laws of the Qin Dynasty."
All the officials were already kneeling on the ground. When they heard that Qin Yuanhao had done something wrong again, some of them collapsed to the ground.
Could it be that His Majesty is possessed by a demon?
It’s a pity that they dare not say this.
"Your Majesty, the laws of the Great Qin cannot be changed! I hope Your Majesty will revoke your order." The voice of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice was particularly loud.
"The laws of the Great Qin were originally compiled for the people of the Great Qin, but the women of the Great Qin are also my people. Why are they not protected by the laws of the Great Qin?"
"Your Majesty, how can women be the same as men? Since ancient times, women have been vassals of men."
[Bah! Women are no worse than men, but because you're afraid women will be better than you, you've designed these rules, which confine all women and, by extension, the country's development.]
"Yesterday, I reviewed the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty overnight. Women cannot divorce their husbands, cannot divorce, and cannot even return to their parents' home for more than three days a year."
"If a woman disobeys her husband's family, she will be punished with family discipline at the very least, or even thrown into a pig cage at the worst."
[That's right, the chief clerk of the Dali Temple below. He married more than a dozen concubines, but he tricked them into returning home and treated them badly. Eventually, the women ran away and he caught them. He then put them in a pig cage, but the poor woman left behind a son.]
The boy endured the humiliation and finally had the chief clerk tragically killed in the brothel girl's bed. This was revenge for his mother, and I couldn't help but applaud him.
Now that Qin Zhenzhen has seen the people in the court, she can naturally see the plot related to these people.
She had just woken up and was looking around with great interest.
Qin Yuanhao deliberately glanced at the chief clerk of the Dali Temple that Qin Zhenzhen mentioned. Seeing that the other party was not good-looking, he was really confused.
The chief clerk of the Marble Temple felt Qin Yuanhao's gaze and his body softened, thinking that the emperor might be calling on him.
He had just recently disposed of a concubine.
"But there are no restrictions on men. They can marry as many wives as they want and even keep concubines, while women are required to be faithful. It's really unfair."
"Your Majesty, how can women be compared with men? They are just a group of women in the house. How can they take the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court?" The Minister of Personnel dared to speak out again at this time, because he felt that if he didn't speak up, the country would be destroyed by the emperor.
This time Qin Yuanhao gave him a look.
"Well said. The third thing I want to say is that I will change the imperial examinations. The autumn examination will be held this year. I want both men and women to participate. And all my officials, you must also participate."
"I hope you won't let me down!"
For a moment, all the officials were stunned. What did it mean to see men and women participating together? What did it mean that they also had to participate?
"The Autumn Examination is divided into the Preliminary Examination and the Palace Examination. We are searching for talented people from across the country." Qin Yuanhao said, standing up from the dragon throne and pointing at the officials. "And those of you who have served in the court for many years, if you cannot perform as well as those students, please resign and go home!"
All the officials had suffered too much today, and were stunned when they heard this.
What happened to Your Majesty?
Is this still our blind Majesty?
The ministers don’t understand, the ministers can’t see it.
It’s fine for women to take the imperial examination, but they have been officials in the court for so many years, and yet they have to take the exam again.
