Chapter 248 Concubine 31

"What am I going to do?" General Zhao grinned, "Of course I have to reason with you!"

"People like you are useless when you are in danger, but you come out to make noises when nothing happens."

"I have seen this kind of thing when I was a child. Do you know what it is?" "

A palm-sized, ignorant bastard!"

General Zhao was not like Gu Li who reasoned with these people. He was born a rough man, so he said whatever he wanted.

"You didn't fart when General Gu led the charge into the capital, and you didn't fart when the rebels of Wu'an Hou captured it. Now that they are going to reward you, you start to fart?"

"Why? Military merits of women are not military merits?" He sneered, "Which law of our Great Xia does not allow women to make merits?"

"People like you don't want women to serve as officials in the court because you are afraid that they will take away your opportunities."

"Only incompetent wastes would think so!"

"When I think about how hard we fight at the border to protect wastes like you, I want to retire!"

As he spoke, his big hands like a palm-leaf fan swung, making the scholar's head dizzy: "You...you let me go!"

"Waste, you can't even take a slap from me, how are you going to the battlefield like a woman?"

"There is a division of labor between civil and military affairs. I can make contributions to the country without going to the battlefield!"

Gu Li looked at this scene leisurely and said faintly: "Have you written any famous books that will be passed down through the ages?" As

soon as he said this, the scholar shut up again.

He had just entered the court for less than five years, so how could he have the time to be passed down through the ages.

"Oh, so you are not good at civil affairs or martial arts, and your only ability is to attack women?"

Gu Li narrowed his eyes and smiled like a mouse that stole oil: "Look at this sir, he is so masculine and strong, he must be born by a man."

"Women are born blunt, how could they give birth to someone as talented as you?"

"Pfft, you were born by a man, no wonder you are so foul-mouthed!"

General Zhao followed Gu Li and stabbed him again, making the scholar's face turn blue.

Being despised like this in the court, how can he survive in the officialdom in the future?

Thinking of the ridicule of his colleagues in the future, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

The guy in his hand completely softened, and General Zhao said boredly: "That's all you can do."

He thought that this guy had no backbone, and he was just a coward.

"Your Highness," he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "I and Gu Li are generals in the same robe, and I admire him very much."

"I think that if such people are not worthy of being generals, all the generals in the court can go home and farm."

The generals who were shocked by this passionate debate said, "You are a Zhao, just debate with others, why do you bring us along?

However, since he said so, everyone can't remain silent.

Led by the generals who entered the capital yesterday, the military officers knelt on the ground regardless of whether they were willing or not: "I second the proposal."

Yin Shi frowned: "So, you all agree to confer her a title?"

There were also military officers who frowned, but were pressed down on the shoulders by their colleagues.

Looking at the guy with bared teeth and sneered intimidation, he silently shut up.

This guy's uncle is the Minister of War, and he can't afford to offend him.

"We agree."

At this moment, the military officers' loud voices took the upper hand.

The civil officials looked at this scene and couldn't help stamping their feet.

These reckless men, these mediocre people!

"I agree." Suddenly, a civil official also knelt on the ground, making everyone glare at him.

But the man seemed not to feel the angry eyes of his colleagues, and just stared at the floor.

He thought of his daughter who was sad at home. His daughter was a gifted woman, much better than he was when he was young.

But because of her identity as a woman, she had to stay in the back house every day and was not allowed to see the light of day.

How could he accept this?

Now, he saw that His Highness was just intending to use women, so why not... just give in.

Maybe, his daughter will be better than him in the future?

"I agree..." With him taking the lead, the civil officials who had not spoken at first also knelt on the ground one after another.

General Zhao on the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and poked Gu Li with his hand: "I didn't expect that those old-fashioned people would also be so kind?"

He thought those people would never agree even if they were beaten to death.

Gu Li said lightly: "They are all people with families and daughters."

After all, people always have soft spots.

However, Gu Li was not so naive as to think that after today, women could appear in the court.

On the contrary, she believed that after today, women would face unprecedented difficulties.

Perhaps some would die in this struggle, and perhaps some would not be able to become officials in their lifetime due to their lack of talent.

But none of this mattered.

"Since all of you think so," Yin Shi sighed deeply on the high platform, "I have no choice but to agree." "

From today on, Gu Li will be granted the title of Yong'an Earl's Prince, and will be granted the title of Walking in Front of the Imperial Guard, and the title of Deputy Commander of the Third Rank of the Imperial Guard." Yin Shi

said that he had to agree, but there was no hesitation in his actions to confer the award.

Such an award would not be excessive for a loyal minister, but for a woman...

Someone's lips moved a little, but was met with Gu Li's dim eyes.

Forget it.

We'll talk about it later.

Two people have fainted, and they don't want to be the third one.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Li rested his head on the cold ground, a smile rising from the corners of his lips.

It doesn't matter how many people die, what matters is the overall situation.

With this small opening, the momentum of women walking out of the house will be like a flood, surging and unstoppable, until all the previous shackles are washed away.

In the meantime, some people are destined to sacrifice, and some people are destined to never see the light of day in their lives.

Success always requires sacrifice.

Gu Li curled his lips slightly, and his smile became more brilliant.

Why not start with him?

"My dear Gu, are you happy?" Yin Shi looked at the smile on her lips and felt that his mood had improved a lot.

Gu Li narrowed his eyes: "When I think of being able to devote my entire life to Daxia, I... am so happy!"

Some stubborn Confucian scholars: "!!!"

This guy must be showing off to them.

With this huge wave, all the subsequent discussions seemed to be calm.

Even after the court meeting was over, the crowd had not yet recovered from the shocking scene.

Seeing Gu Li boarding the carriage back to the Yong'an Marquis's residence, someone finally pulled out a beard in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, wait and see!"

"This lord, you are threatening an official of the court, aren't you afraid that I will report you to His Highness?"

General Zhao and his comrades walked out in a swagger, bumped into the old man who was speaking, and had a ferocious and threatening look on his face.
