What's the difference between opposing women's admission to school and taking part in the scientific examination as an official and opposing Bai Qingyan's accession to the throne as a woman?

The officials of the Zhou Dynasty dared not object, but this imperial edict caused a huge wave in the hearts of envoys Dayan, Xiao Rongyan, Xiliang and Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie's palm tightened. In Xiliang... Women's status is higher than that of Jin women. But even so, they did not dare to risk universal condemnation after they became emperor of Xiliang... They had the idea of using women as officials.

Bai Qingyan dared to have such a move and such a spirit when he first ascended the position. Is it true that he has the chance to win, or... He is motivated to think that he can challenge the ritual system when he becomes the female emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty?

Xiao Rongyan, standing behind the "nine lords of Dayan", looked around quietly and saw that almost half of the courtiers of the Zhou Dynasty didn't look very good. He faintly pinched a cold sweat for Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan is too impatient in using women as officials

Hurry is not a good thing. Empress Ji, once Xiao Rongyan's mother, also wanted to improve the status of women and let women become officials in the dynasty, but in the end, she got the students of Yan state against it and made the students gather at the palace gate to admonish and scold her mother and the demon for harming the country.

Hedong Wang lowered his eyelids and the corners of his lips were shallow. Sure enough... Bai Qingyan still moved his mind to use a woman as an official.

In this way, his efforts in sending people to study among students have not been in vain. He can make an article on this matter.

After the imperial edict was read out, all the officials of Dazhou knelt down to thank him.

"Thank you, your majesty! Long live your majesty! Long live Da Zhou!"

The enthronement ceremony came to an end in the shock of envoys of various countries.

After the ceremony, there was a banquet for envoys from various countries. The women's families of important officials had entered the palace and arrived at the xuanming hall where the Palace Banquet was arranged. They sat in the position where the attendants took them, smiling and greeting from left to right.

Some women from noble families who have read a lot of poems and books heard that Bai Qingyan issued an edict today to open a women's school. Xu women took part in the scientific examination. Xu women became an official in the DPRK. Her excited hands trembled. Years of good tutoring and reserve made them restrain their surging emotions, sit in their positions with a smile, and imagine that they could become an official in the DPRK with their father and make their father proud.

All noble ladies are knowledgeable. They know that Bai Qingyan intends to improve women's status, which is reasonable. After all, Bai Qingyan is a woman herself.

The whole xuanming hall is discussing Bai Qingyan's new deal and Xu women's scientific examination as officials.

Previously, there was a provision in the new deal to encourage widows to remarry. If a woman has children and has not remarried, the clan shall not forcibly seize the family property under her husband's name. If the widower's father-in-law is alive and the woman remarries with her children, half of the family property under her husband's name shall be handed over to her in-law without dowry. If a woman leaves her children to remarry alone, without dowry, the family property under her husband's name shall be kept in the hands of her children, As soon as this new deal came out... It was denounced by many scholars for violating the three cardinal principles and five standing orders, which also aroused thousands of waves among the people.

But officials all know that Bai Qingyan's move is to increase the country's population. After all, now that countries are fighting, soldiers and soldiers die on the battlefield, adding how many orphans and widows.

A woman's family has to take care of children and farm crops. Many families have no labor at home, resulting in the waste of good farmland.

How many women's families were robbed of their property by the clan because of the death of their husband, resulting in the widowed mother and young son starving to death in the streets. Even Bai's Zanying aristocratic family was almost doomed.

Every imperial edict issued by Bai Qingyan is a provocation to the old secular world, which can be described as vigorous.

Li Mingrui personally explained to the common people that encouraging widows to remarry is to enable widows and young children to make a living. The truth is clear, but who in most men in the world is willing to remarry with their children and family property after their own death?

The discussion among the women in the hall was intense, and everyone was eager to try. They wanted to try whether they could win the ranking in the imperial examination.

Among the Bai clan, a widowed woman came to the Palace Banquet as a royal today. She twisted her handkerchief back and forth, drooping her eyes and beating her heart.

Before the new deal came out to encourage widows to remarry, she thought it was just thunder and rain. Today, Bai Qingyan said that she would open a women's school as soon as she ascended the throne. She would allow women to take part in the scientific examination and use women as officials. It seems that she is serious. Should she take this opportunity... To leave the Bai family? Her cousin has never remarried since she lost his wife, just for her, If you can marry your cousin... It will be a round of their regrets for many years.

The white woman's hands were full of fine sweat. She wiped them with her handkerchief and warned herself not to be in a hurry... This matter can't be raised until she is sure.

After a while, when envoys and ministers of various countries entered the hall, the noble women covered half of their faces with round fans, showed their eyes and looked curiously at the masked King Dayan IX and the ghost face King Rong di.

I'm interested in the ninth Lord of Dayan because I've seen the magnificent Yan Emperor Murong Yu, at least so far... These noble women have never seen a more beautiful man than Murong Yu. They want to know whether the masked ninth Lord of Dayan looks as good as his brother.

I'm interested in Rong Di's ghost face because I heard that the ghost face is extremely ugly. Curiosity drives these noble women who are not familiar with the world to see how ugly Rong Di's ghost face is under his mask.

As for Li Zhijie, most of the noble women who can come to the xuanming hall today have met and are not very curious.

Instead, Li Zhijie showed his kindness to the ninth Lord of Dayan and talked with the ninth Lord of Dayan about the new deal proposed by Bai Qing, the female emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

"The female emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty has just ascended the throne, and the new policies and regulations promulgated are all provocative to the secular etiquette and the interests of the aristocratic family. They are too aggressive and do not seek the overall situation. If it were not for the military power in hand... It would be difficult to hold a seat!" Li Zhijie knelt down a few days before the case, unfolded the iron bone folding fan, and there were a few fans.

The masked King Dayan nine sat in a precarious position and said slowly: "whose throne is not stable because of the military power? At the beginning of the Yunjing rebellion... If the king Yan had not led the troops to protect him, I'm afraid the throne of the female emperor of Xiliang would not be stable."

Li Zhijie gave a low smile and looked at Xiao Rongyan sitting behind the ninth Lord of Yan: "I heard... This Mr. Xiao has an engagement with the female emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty. Today, the ninth Lord brought Mr. Xiao. Do you have the idea of marriage and alliance? If so, why... Don't the emperor of Yan grant Mr. Xiao the title and lift Mr. Xiao's identity to make the relationship between the two countries better?"

Li Zhijie intended to sell well in front of Xiao Rongyan and nodded to Xiao Rongyan with a smile.
