The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 664

[Chapter 664 Depressed Pavilion Elders]

Fang Xiu: “”

What do these old guys think of themselves?

If your relationship doesn’t cause any trouble, why don’t you come to them?

What does this mean?

“Ahem!”

Fang Xiu coughed twice, looked at the three old guys, raised his eyebrows, and asked: “Isn’t there even a cup of tea or a chair in this big place?”

With such arrogant and domineering appearance, the three When the elders saw each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this Xin’anhou!

“Yes, yes, I’ll go and get it now.”

Someone next to him naturally brought chairs and tea.

After Fang Xiu sat down, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said leisurely: “This time, I have two things to discuss with the three pavilion elders.” When

the three pavilion elders heard this, they started talking to each other. They looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other’s eyes. After thinking about it, they still said: “I wonder what the Marquis Xin’an wants to discuss?”

In the past, everything happened in Nuan Pavilion with His Majesty present. Next, let’s discuss it. This is the first time that I discuss things with Xin’an Hou alone.

Several people seemed a little confused and didn’t know what was happening.

Fang Xiu coughed, put down his tea cup, and spoke slowly: “Your Majesty and I have been chatting for a long time, and we think we can set up a separate imperial examination for women. I wonder what the three cabinet ministers think?”

Female imperial examination! ?

When the three pavilion elders heard this, they were startled at first, and then their expressions became very shocked.

Women can just stay at home, look after their husbands and raise their children, and just study. No one will care about them.

But take the imperial examination! ?

How is this possible! ?

Yan Zhuang had a serious look on his face and wanted to veto it directly, but then he realized that this was not just the opinion of Xin’an Hou, but His Majesty also put forward some opinions.

He thought for a moment and then said, “Did His Majesty come up with the idea of the women’s imperial examination?”

“No.”

Fang Xiu told the truth.

These are all Pavilion elders. Even if he lies, they can still go to the emperor for verification, which makes no sense.

The three pavilion elders were visibly relieved when they heard that it was not the emperor’s idea.

As long as it’s not His Majesty’s opinion, that’s fine.

If His Majesty is determined to set up this women’s imperial examination, then these old guys are really in trouble.

Since His Majesty did not come up with it, there is only one answer.

This is the meaning of Xin’anhou.

Although they didn’t know why the Marquis of Xin’an suddenly thought of doing the ‘imperial examination’, they still answered.

“Marquis Xin’an, this imperial examination matter is no small matter. It cannot be changed just because you want to.”

Yan Zhuang was interrupted by Fang Xiu just as he spoke.

“Of course I know about this, but can it be that the strategy of integrating Diding and Ding can be changed at will, just for small things?”

“This”

When several pavilion elders heard this, their hearts trembled.

From the tone of Marquis Xin’an, it seems that the women’s imperial examination must be established?

Several pavilion elders looked at each other again. Yan Zhuang,

who had a better relationship with Fang Xiu, spoke up: “Marquis of Xin’an, I know what you mean, but throughout the ages, how can there be any reason for women to study or take part in the imperial examination?”

Fang Xiu looked at him with a serious expression and said He said what he said to Zhao Yan before.

“It’s always been like this, right?”

“”

The elders didn’t know what to say.

Fang Xiu seemed to continue: “Let’s talk about the policy of integrating land and Ding into one. I want to ask some of the elders. This policy of integrating land and Ding has not been used before. Is it wrong?

Isn’t it wrong?

This Tian Fu The policy has been implemented for so long. Is it right or good?

If so, why should we continue to implement the policy of integrating land and Ding? “

” This”

another Pavilion elder frowned when he heard this. Said: “What the Marquis of Xin’an said is wrong. It is not decided by the court for a woman to take care of her husband and raise her children at home. Which parent in the world does not want their children to live well?

It is precisely for this reason that they let their daughters stay at home. The husband teaches his son to study and take the imperial examination, because this is the best destination for them.

Could it be that the experience accumulated by the common people over thousands of years is not as good as what the Marquis of Xin’an thought for a moment? “

“Ha”

Fang Xiu heard this. Her expression became a little disdainful, she looked at him and said: “What you are saying is nonsense. It is precisely because parents in the world think so that no women will study.

But if parents in the world change their minds and let women study

Will those women have a better life

?

What’s more, the content of the subjects in women’s imperial examinations does not necessarily have to be the same as that of men.

And, most importantly, you said that women should take care of their husbands and raise their children. There are so many female generals leading troops in the history books, are they not as good as men?

In addition, there are many, many more. Even the palace today has many female officials. Without them, how could the palace maintain so well?

If they are like you said, they should only stay at home to support their husbands and raise children, then will things still be like this? “

“This”

the elder was speechless. For a moment, he was speechless.

Because it is indeed recorded more than once in the history books that female generals led troops and defeated the enemy. It can be seen that whether this was successful or not has nothing to do with it. It didn’t matter whether he was a man or a woman.

Seeing that he was speechless, Fang Xiu said in pursuit of victory: “Besides, I have said from the beginning that the women’s imperial examination must be the same as the normal imperial examination.

Some things, such as the statistics of money and food, the calculations of the Ministry of Works, and the appointment of people in the Ministry of Personnel. Men can do these things, but women can’t?

But in other things, such as going into battle to kill enemies, etc., women are indeed inferior to men and can be cancelled.

The elders of the cabinet, you are all important officials. You should not limit your view of things to the immediate situation, but should look at it more broadly.

If you think about it, women can answer the same test questions, or even answer them better, so why can’t women be used?

If women were appointed, wouldn’t the court have many more talents?

I remember that the most common complaint of several cabinet ministers in the past was that there was no talent, right?

I thought that the most indispensable thing in the world is talent, but the elders didn’t notice it.”

“”

When the elders heard this, they looked at each other again.

They actually didn’t agree with what Fang Xiu said.

Woman Imperial examination?

Women as officials?

What

a mess!

But on the other hand, they had to admit that Fang Xiu’s words had some truth to them

. They can’t find a suitable reason to refute

this matter, but they will never agree to it easily.

“Xin’an Marquis, the women’s imperial examination is of great importance. I still need to discuss it. I will give you an answer in a few days. what do you think? ” The person

who spoke was Yan Zhuang, who was perfunctory.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu frowned and realized that the matter was not simple. He rejected it very bluntly: “I think it’s not good! ”
