The emperor's expression also became extremely solemn.
This set of reforms may make the Great Zhou stronger and more powerful, and enable it to defeat the enemy countries with confidence.
But this also affects the interests of countless people.
The emperor is now too old and lacks energy to carry out major reforms.
Even if he wanted to reform, it would affect the interests of so many people, and there was no guarantee that someone would take the opportunity to rebel and force him to step down completely.
Staring at Qin Yinnuan, the emperor didn't know what her intention was in proposing such a shocking reform proposal.
Does he want to harm him, or does Prime Minister Qin have other plans and want to rebel?
Qin Xiang's face suddenly changed in shock. Although the method she said could benefit the people, it was not good for them. She was crazy. How could she come up with such a treasonous suggestion that went against the interests of everyone?
Not only did the emperor not blame them, but those who cooperated with them became dissatisfied with him and rebelled against him!
The relationships among people in the imperial court are complicated, and the reason why he can have such great power is that everyone has the leverage and interests over others.
...
...
If he affects the other party's interests, how can he not stop?
Before Qin Yinnuan could finish her words, Qin Xiang interrupted her with a stern voice, "Shut up Yinnuan, national affairs are not for a little girl like you to comment on! What a ridiculous suggestion you made!"
"Harvest the property of the gentry and redistribute it, let the common people go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, reward them according to the number of enemy heads, promote them to higher positions, and abolish the previous inheritance system of barons and marquises. How did you come up with such a shameless statement?"
"If the people hold power, they will act recklessly and overthrow the Great Zhou!"
The word "rebellion" was too heavy, so Prime Minister Qin did not dare to curse it out loud.
"Why don't you kneel down? Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"My suggestion..."
Qin Yinnuan also wanted to argue that her method was practiced by Qin Shihuang, and that the Qin State unified the world and made great achievements, which would be remembered forever.
How could she be so arrogant?
As long as we practice what she said, the Great Zhou will become powerful.
What's more, she hasn't even finished her words yet, so why are you opposing her?
She wanted to explain herself, but was met with Prime Minister Qin's cold and murderous eyes.
Even if Qin Yinnuan wanted to be in the spotlight, she also knew her current situation and she still had to rely on the power of the Qin family.
She couldn't offend Prime Minister Qin and couldn't make him angry or disappointed.
She immediately knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am so bold and reckless. Please forgive me."
Prime Minister Qin also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is because I have not taught my daughter well that I said such nonsense. She does not understand the politics of the court at all. How can a woman like her make sense of such an important matter for the country and the people?"
"Princess Lingsi always says something unexpectedly constructive." The emperor's tone was inexplicable, and it was hard to guess whether he was angry or furious.
But everyone present was on edge.
“Your Majesty, some of Princess Lingsi’s ideas are indeed out of the ordinary, but this method of reform cannot be adopted.
After all, changes in past dynasties have always been bloody. Now that the Great Zhou is in turmoil, the people's survival issues have not been resolved. The emperor allows the ministers to think of a better way to make the Great Zhou strong and prosperous. ”
"Your Majesty, this woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children, and should not interfere in the affairs of the court." The censor's intention was to tell the emperor not to let Qin Yinnuan or other women give suggestions in the future.
If this were to hit Qin Yinnuan, Yang Zhanying would definitely applaud.
But Yang Zhanying was dissatisfied with the fact that women were supposed to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children and were not allowed to make any suggestions.
She immediately stood up from the table, walked to the middle and knelt, "Your Majesty, I also have a worry that I want to solve for the people and Your Majesty."
"Miss Yang, the Great Zhou is not without men. There is no need for a woman like you to go to the battlefield. So stop making trouble and talking nonsense here." The censor spoke with contempt and disdain.
It's not just Qin Yinnuan and Yang Zhanying, the censors simply look down on women.
I don't think women have any abilities at all.
"I didn't ask the emperor to appoint me as a soldier and let me serve on the battlefield." Yang Zhanying was not used to censors. "Others haven't even finished speaking yet, but you've already made a judgment. Are you the imperial master? Did you predict what I was going to say in advance?"
"You are still a censor? Do you understand the rules?"
"Or is it that we women can't even say a few words in front of the emperor? Then Concubine Yun will have to serve the emperor like a mute?"
The censor was stunned by Yang Zhanying's retort.
Concubine Yun never expected to be used as a shield by Yang Zhanying. Her nails were almost embedded in her palms. She was so angry that she scratched Yang Zhanying fiercely, wishing she could cut out her flesh.
Is Yang Zhanying deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Besides, she is about to become the prince's consort, why doesn't she pay more attention to her words and actions?
If she had the ability to be as smart as Qin Yinnuan and get the title of princess, she would not look down on her vulgarity and unruliness.
Just thinking about fighting and killing the enemies on the battlefield?
Does she really think that with her mediocre skills she can become a female general? That's ridiculous.
"Well, today is the banquet for all families. I just said that anyone can give advice freely."
After all, the emperor had just asked Qin Yinnuan to speak up and make suggestions, so there was no reason for him to tell Yang Zhanying to shut up and not say anything.
But if she still said she wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he would not agree.
After all, she has been betrothed to the second prince.
It's no wonder that everyone thought that what Yang Zhanying wanted to say was to let women join the army and become generals to fight on the battlefield, because several people including Duke Yang had mentioned it several times in the court.
I have also had several arguments with civil servants.
If the Great Zhou wants to expand its military strength, allowing women to join the army can indeed double the military strength.
Of course, letting women serve as soldiers and fight on the battlefield is not only a matter of women not having the same advantages as men, but also a matter of worrying about disrupting the morale of the army.
Emperors generally would not allow reforms that allow women to join the army.
Qin Yinnuan, who was kneeling beside him, glanced coldly at Yang Zhanying who was also trying to show off, and snorted with disdain.
Let's see what she, a person with a simple mind but strong limbs, can say.
Yang Zhanying cleared her throat and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I heard that the embankment of the Chu River collapsed, causing tens of thousands of people to be displaced and thousands of people to die."
"If the problem of the Chu River embankment is not solved, the Chu River will flood again in two years, and the people in the cities on the other side of the Chu River will suffer a huge disaster."
"I have a way to solve the problem of the collapse of the Chu River dam. I beg the emperor to give me a chance and let me go to Chu River to handle the reconstruction of the Chu River dam."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stared at Yang Zhanying with wide eyes.
I originally thought that she was asking to be allowed to serve as a female general on the battlefield.
As it turned out, it was because of the collapse of the Chu River dam.
The Chu River embankment issue is a mess now. Whoever handles it will be in trouble!
The issue of Chu He has been a big problem since the emperor took office. I don’t know how much money has been allocated to deal with Chu He.
The Chu River burst its banks this time due to geographical reasons, but also because someone was corrupt and forged information and used inferior materials to build the Chu River.
The dam of the Chu River had originally been built, and the emperor was relieved about this. But now this incident happened, all the previous efforts were ruined, and the emperor ordered the killing of many people.
Qin Sujin paid three million taels in compensation and was fined to go to Chuhe to clean up the mess, which saved his life.
No one dared to mention this matter, let alone take responsibility for it. If they didn't do it well, they would lose their heads.
Yang Zhanying actually dared to say that and take charge of this matter. Is she crazy?
