The ministers held their breath, their eyes darting back and forth between the two remonstrating officials and the emperor.
No one dared to speak up and break the deadlock, fearing that they might inadvertently become the next center of this storm.
Upon hearing Li Jianyi's urgent pleas for mercy, the young official turned slightly to the side, his gaze sharp as a blade, piercing diagonally at the kneeling man.
At this moment, Li Jianyi had lost all his previous high spirits.
He collapsed to the ground, his hands on the floor, his body trembling slightly with fear and anxiety.
Her hair was also somewhat disheveled, with a few strands falling in front of her forehead, making her look extremely disheveled.
The young official looked at the scene with undisguised disdain in his eyes.
His gaze was as if he were looking at a ridiculous and pathetic clown. He snorted softly, his lips curled down slightly, and his face was full of disgust.
Then, he turned around slowly, raised his head slightly, his demeanor dignified, and his expression serious and solemn.
He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if suppressing his inner anger.
With his hands clasped together and raised firmly, he respectfully addressed the emperor, who sat high on the dragon throne, saying, "Your Majesty, just now, Li Jianyi completely disregarded the solemnity of the court."
He spouted wild and absurd nonsense.
He held onto outdated ideas, stubbornly insisted that women could not achieve meritorious deeds.
They turn a blind eye to the great achievements of many heroines in our dynasty. Some of these women were brave warriors who charged into battle, fearless of death, and died on the battlefield.
To expand the territory of Tianxuan and defend against foreign enemies.
Some offered advice and strategies in the imperial court, using their extraordinary wisdom and tactics to devise plans for the stability and prosperity of Tianxuan and to solve its problems.
Their remarkable military achievements and outstanding contributions to Tianxuan and its people are an indispensable part of Tianxuan.
Li Jianyi's remarks are not only a slander against many outstanding women, but also a desecration of the illustrious military achievements of our dynasty's women, which is truly outrageous!
The young official's words, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, exploded in the solemn and dignified court.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and the entire Golden Palace was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunned by this sudden remark.
Mu Yunxi, the female general with illustrious military achievements, suddenly turned icy cold on her previously calm face, her eyes flashing with a chilling light, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath in the cold night.
He unconsciously exuded a chilling aura, as if he would freeze the air in the hall at any moment.
She fought on the battlefield for many years, risking her life for Tianxuan, and her numerous scars are a testament to her illustrious achievements.
But now she was being slandered by this trivial suggestion, and the anger in her heart was like a surging tide, almost drowning her.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her pearly teeth almost digging into her delicate skin, her slender fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, clearly trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
The officials were shocked by Li Jianyi's remarks and immediately erupted into a commotion.
The civil officials, who were usually very refined, disregarded their manners and began whispering amongst themselves.
His face was full of disbelief. He shook his head and sighed, shocked by Li Jianyi's ignorance and arrogance.
Some civil officials cursed under their breath, their words filled with dissatisfaction with Li Jianyi, while others frowned and whispered about how to deal with this person who showed no respect for the court.
The military officers were even more furious, their eyes wide and their faces flushed red, like angry lions.
They clenched their fists so tightly that their knuckles turned white and made a cracking sound.
He wished he could rush forward immediately, grab Li Jianyi by the collar, and question him about why he would slander the heroine who had made great contributions to Tianxuan.
Their eyes burned with fury, as if they wanted to devour Li Jianyi alive.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's previously peaceful face instantly darkened like the sky before a storm, and he flew into a rage.
He sat on the dragon throne, leaning slightly forward, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
His eyes revealed anger, like a volcano about to erupt, and his aura of majesty was so terrifying that it froze the air in the hall.
Under his rule, Tianxuan recruited talented individuals from all walks of life, regardless of gender, resulting in a clear and just court and a prosperous nation.
Now that he is being slandered like this by Li Jianyi, how could he not be furious? This is not only a blatant provocation against the order of the court, but also a denial of his governing philosophy.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel stood aside, witnessing all of this, and pondered to himself.
There is probably more to this story than meets the eye. Li Jianyi's unbridled behavior suggests that there may be something unknown behind it.
With these doubts in mind, he hurriedly and quietly opened Li Jianyi's resume file to take a look.
The archive paper was yellowed and smelled of ink; it contained a detailed record of Li Jianyi's life.
When his gaze fell on the words "born in Yongning County," a look of realization flashed in his eyes, and the conservative and outdated folk customs of Yongning County instantly came to mind.
The people there are conservative in their thinking, and they impose extremely strict restrictions on women, adhering to ancient and outdated ideas.
"So that's how it is," he nodded to himself, finally understanding why Li Jianyi had made such absurd remarks.
Immediately, he stepped forward, bowed slightly, and reported the discovery to the Emperor in a low voice.
