Chapter 411 Gender Discrimination

The palace was peaceful and quiet, but the Jiang family outside the palace was experiencing a storm.

Several major families found Jiang Yankun and asked him to come to the palace to ask the emperor to abolish the new law or use the original one.

And, he also had to reprimand his daughter.

Her ambition was too big. She was not satisfied with being a noble and a queen. She even wanted to be on an equal footing with the emperor. What kind of queen was she?

Men were not allowed to do this or that, but women were allowed to do whatever they wanted.

What was this?

Gender discrimination?

If she really took power, would there be a place for men in the Great Yan Dynasty?

The emperor was more than ten years older than her, and the prince was her son. It was terrifying to think about it.

Jiang Yankun sent off the sixth wave of noble families that visited the Jiang family that day, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Originally, she just thought that sending a daughter to the palace would get her some favor, and it would be great

if she could bring good fortune to the family. When Sister Yue was favored, he thought that if he worked hard, he might be able to plan a better future for himself.

Unexpectedly, Sister Yue not only planned a future for him, but also brought benefits to the entire Jiang family, so the family used all their strength to help her consolidate her position.

Now, his daughter is the queen, his grandson is the prince, and the emperor is going to issue new laws for Sister Yue to greatly improve the status of women.

All the major families came to trouble him, but he was not afraid. He was just worried that after being favored, if the emperor came to his senses one day, Sister Yue would be doomed.

This era could not tolerate ambitious and powerful women.

Ruan stood up straight: "I don't care, as long as Sister Yue wants to do it, we must support her. Think about it carefully. Since she has been favored, everything she asked you to do is beneficial to the Jiang family. I believe in my daughter unconditionally. She must have her reasons for doing this." Even

Aunt Lin, who has always been timid, cowardly and obedient, helped Ruan to speak: "Master, the madam is right. The Queen Mother is a wise person. We can't look at her with the eyes of ordinary people. She must have her reasons for doing this. "She is right. Master, you can't waver and join outsiders in suppressing the Queen Mother."

As if she was still a little worried, she muttered in a low voice: "If the Queen Mother gets angry, Master will lose his current wealth. How much better will the Jiang family be than now?"

Jiang Yankun stared at her and exhaled heavily from his nose: "I haven't said anything yet, but you have said all the bad words by yourself."

What Aunt Lin is planning, Ruan Niang, who is simple-minded, doesn't know, but he knows it very well.

The more powerful Sister Yue is, the higher the status of the Jiang family will be, and there will be countless lackeys stuffed with beauties in his backyard.

It's not uncommon for him to have any peerless beauties, after all, he is the biological father of the Queen Mother.

This is a huge crisis for Aunt Lin.

She was old and had no son, so the lady was kind enough to keep her by her side to be the accountant. She could gain face in front of the lady, and maybe the Queen Mother would be able to take care of Wu Niang's marriage and arrange it for her.

She and the lady were in the same boat, and she didn't want any more seductress to seduce the old man.

Jiang Yankun waved his hands irritably: "I know what to do, you women..." He

stopped talking halfway and remembered the emperor's promulgation of a new decree. He quickly swallowed his disparaging words: "Don't worry about these things."

Aunt Lin wanted to say something, but Ruan held her back with a slight smile on her face: "It's good that my husband knows what's going on. Our family will naturally stand on the side of one family. I won't bother my husband then."

"Madam, why didn't you let me scold him just now?"

The emperor has promulgated a new law allowing women to serve as officials in the court, but there are still so many useless men in the world who look down on women.

"Why scold him?"

Ruan snorted and laughed: "If he supports Sister Yue, we will be a harmonious and beautiful family. If he turns his elbow outward and listens to the instigation of those noble families and opposes Sister Yue in public, I will let him know that although I am called Ruan Niang, I am not a soft-hearted person." A

mother must be strong, and she will know it after trying it.

The new decree is not only a war between the officials of the noble families and the Jiang family, but also a confrontation of status between all men and women in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Jiang Xinyue never thought of becoming a big fat man in one bite, and she expected the voices of both support and opposition from the people.

She even guessed that the majority of people were against and only a few were in favor.

Men are against it because they have been in a patriarchal society for too long, and have formed the inherent mindset that women are inferior to men. This mindset is difficult to change, and they are unwilling to change it.

Because it infringes on their interests.

Some women are also against it because they are confined by feudal dogma. They believe that women should stay in the back house to take care of their husbands and children, and should follow the rules passed down from ancient times.

The three obediences and four virtues, and the chaste and heroic women are what they pursue.

Such people are not the most excessive. The most excessive are those women with dark minds who want to tear up everyone's umbrellas after they have been caught in the rain.

As women, because they have suffered such hardships, they hope that all married women will be trapped in the back house like them, scheming and fighting against each other, and spend their entire poor lives revolving around a man who is not worthy at all.

But after three months, Jiang Xinyue, under the emperor's instruction, was already able to review memorials.

The emperor was exhausted from dealing with the court in the past few months. After the court, it was much easier to have Jiang Xinyue help him review memorials.

This man was busy all day, going back and forth between the court, the harem, and the study. He lit the lights and read memorials late at night. He didn't feel tired at all, but once someone helped him share the burden, half of the burden on his shoulders was removed, and it was difficult for him to carry it again.

People are lazy, and the emperor is also a person, and he is no exception.

Although he is diligent, after the age of 30, his body is no longer as strong as when he was young.

Just like this time, he was busy for only half a month, and he actually fainted.

This has never happened before.

Doctor Hu has retired and returned to his hometown. The new director of the Imperial Hospital is Doctor Yan, who is good at acupuncture.

When he woke up from fainting that day, Doctor Yan said that he had many old illnesses, all of which were caused by overwork, and he had also been infected by the Miaojiang poisonous snake before, which led to his fainting.

If he wants to live longer, he must not neglect his health to take care of state affairs in the future.

Why doesn't he want to live longer and spend more time with Yue'er and the children?

It's already September, and the baby in Jiang Xinyue's belly will be born in another month. Seeing that she is energetic every day and doesn't feel tired when reviewing memorials, the emperor can't help but sigh that young people are still in good health!
