Chapter 247 Bei Qin's Good Mouth

He was not qualified to attend the court and did not know that Princess Tianzhen had made a big move at today's court meeting.

First, I would like to submit a petition to Your Majesty, requesting that women be allowed to take the imperial examination and enter the government.

Secondly, the chastity arches and awards for heroic and virtuous women were abolished, and widows were encouraged to remarry.

This unorthodox request naturally caused a lot of opposition.

One person stepped out and said: "How can women take the same imperial examinations as men? They are not suitable to be officials."

Bei Jingchu was about to retort when Bei Qin stepped out of the line and said, "From the founding princess of the Xuan Dynasty to the current Zhou Jiancheng and others, more than a dozen women have made contributions to Dai Viet to varying degrees and have served in the court."

"It's not like all women are allowed to be officials. The imperial examination is to select people to be officials."

"It's fine as long as you pass the test, but the impact of gender is not considered. Is it important?"

"Since he was able to pass, it means he has the ability to be an official."

One kill.

"If the woman is pregnant, what will happen if it interferes with government affairs?"

Bei Qin: "Whose parents died? There is no six years of worry."

"Who is the one who will stop the court from functioning? The court will only stop functioning without Your Majesty."

Second kill.

"Women are emotional and soft-hearted..."

Bei Qin: "Everyone is emotional. If a man is heartless and doesn't love anyone, how can he use the honey trap?"

Three kills.

"Women are naturally weak and lack energy..."

Bei Qin: "Compared with the military commanders, you civil officials are also lacking in energy. If you really want to kill them all at once, then those who have never practiced martial arts should not come."

Four kills.

"Women should not have contact with men outside their family. If they are colleagues, there is a possibility of collusion."

Bei Qin: "Isn't that a good opportunity for intermarriage? We are all colleagues, so we are a good match."

Five kills.

"How can we encourage widows to remarry? This is disloyal to their deceased husbands."

Bei Qin: "Have you ever calculated how many more people a widow of prime age can add to her family if she remarries?"

"The enemy is eyeing us covetously, and it is time to prepare for war. Which is more important, population or chastity and discipline?"

Six kills.

The young man held a tablet in his hand and stood in the center of the hall like a standing monument, blocking and killing gods.

A good mouth can debate with all the ministers.

The rest of the people who supported Bei Jingchu, including Bei Jingchu himself, did not find a chance to speak.

It was a hearty debate, and Bei Qin was very happy with the scolding.

When the emperor made the decision, no one dared to say no.

Because if they said it, they would definitely be retorted by this young marquis, which would make them look stupid and ignorant.

The Minister of the Chancellery returned home feeling upset and told his wife about the incident.

"Tell me, this is ridiculous!"

"It's child's play!"

"Letting women take the imperial examination is ridiculous!"

"Madam, isn't that right? It would be much more comfortable if you could just stay at home and take care of the household and socialize."

"If men like us didn't have such heavy responsibilities, who would be willing to become an official?"

Unexpectedly, his most gentle and sensible wife did not agree with him this time.

Her eyes gradually became strange, and she asked, "My husband, what you mean is that Princess Tianzhen proposed that women be allowed to participate in the next round of the Spring Examination?"

"And, His Majesty agreed?"

"yes."

Mrs. Yu stood up immediately and rushed into her daughter's yard.

He also ordered his servants: "Go pack up Sanniang's things and take them to the academy together."

"Tell her to stop being so mad. If she misses this opportunity, she may never see the store again!"

Shang Shu Ling, who was watching the empty building, stretched out his hand but failed to stop anything.

But not everyone wants this opportunity.

Lei Naner became even more complacent when she heard this.

"Let's make some noise."

"The more they are out of step with the world, the more they highlight the nobleness and virtue of girls like me."

And the result was just as she expected.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Gui did not care about her own marriage and was the one who reviewed all the marriage proposals.

She touched the post and was very happy.

"The people who have proposed marriages recently have higher family backgrounds."

"It's probably those women who are just like Lei Nian'er, who have an unrealistic desire to compete with men and are clamoring to take the imperial examination."

"I got a bargain for nothing."

She was very interested in one of them.

"This Zhu family is quite good."

After closing the wedding invitation, Lei Naner suppressed her smile and stood up.

"Let's go and see my good brother."

"Although, I can't get close to him."

Originally, she thought that Aye starting to value Lei Nian'er was the worst thing.

As a result, the second wife gave birth to a son!

He is Aye's only son.

Ever since that little bastard was born, Aye has treated him like the apple of his eye.

He even said that she had a precedent of harming her sister and did not allow her to get close to her younger brother.

He actually guessed it right.

She wished she could kill that little bastard.

But every day I can only smile and pretend that I love my brother very much.

When she went to the main courtyard, Lei Nian'er was also in the room.

Lei Nian'er guessed that her mother must have talked about Lei Nan'er before, and she kept calling her a bad woman.

But the father, who always wanted his sons and daughters to be loved by their friends, never corrected his younger brother.

She lowered her eyes to hide her mocking look.

As expected, in front of his son, no matter how spoiled Lei Nan'er was in the past, she was not even as good as a toe of his beloved son.

Although she should be happy, Lei Nian'er felt as if she was mourning the death of a rabbit and the loss of a tooth.

While I was lost in thought, my sleeve was pulled.

The child bit his finger, looked at her with his big eyes, and called out incoherently: "Sister...sister..."

She smiled. The child was still very cute.

I don’t know if boys of this age are particularly naughty or if her younger brother is just more energetic.

He didn't like being hugged by his eldest sister, but liked to pull her skirt, climb on her, and then be hugged.

Lei Nian'er was used to it, but there was a small incident this time.

The child slipped and fell, and grabbed the table next to him for leverage, but was knocked down with the table.

Lei Nian'er was shocked and reached out to pick him up in her arms, but she lost her balance and could only support herself on the ground with her other hand. The broken porcelain pieces penetrated deeply into her palm.

The mother immediately took the frightened and crying little brother back to comfort him, "How are you? Are you okay? Is it hurting anywhere?"

He then asked her, "Can't you protect him with your hands?"

Lei Nian'er felt tired, as if she didn't recognize her.

"I don't know. You didn't tell me."

"I've never taken care of a child, so I don't understand."

"And mother, I hurt my hand trying to catch him just now."

Only then did the mother's eyes move to the wound on her body that was pierced by broken porcelain pieces and was bleeding profusely.

She exclaimed, "Hey, Nian'er, are you okay?"

Lei Nian'er:... Nonsense, do you think I look okay?

Not wanting to argue any further, she said, "Mother, I'm going to go get the court doctor to bandage it."

"Okay, go quickly and don't delay."

After quickly explaining everything, she focused all her energy on coaxing the younger child.

After Lei Nian'er bandaged the wound, she got through it as if nothing had happened.

She didn't stop until she went to the palace to report on her duties.

"Your Highness, I seem to be an abnormal person."

[Hmm?] Bei Jingchu realized that something was wrong with her mood.

[How come you made your child doubt his life? 】

Lei Nian'er pulled her in a disorderly manner and buried his heavy head on her shoulder.

After burying it, I adjusted it and found a comfortable position.

The voice over my shoulder was muffled: "I think I just want a clean relationship."

"I want someone who is solid and pure and who stands by me."

"If you are not firm enough, it seems, you are not precious."
