Sometimes the palace is sunny

The breeze blows the Confucian Temple, and the female voice shakes Qiongxiao.

Wang Cunshu and Qi Xiaoxing asked each other questions and answers from the Four Books and Five Classics all the way, and gradually became a classic debate.

One said "honesty and truth-seeking", the other said "restrain oneself and guard the heart"*, the other talked about the truth, and the other cultivated the heart.

Through the gate, you can see the statue of Confucius in the Confucian Temple. He holds the scriptures in his hand and looks down, watching the two women explain the schools of Confucianism for thousands of years.

Mi Xinlan sat at the side, gently shaking the paper fan in her hand, and described the scene in front of her in her heart.

A female official stood beside her and said with a smile, "Master Mi, Jin Yiwei has invited the prefect Lu down."

Mi Xinlan nodded slightly, and said slowly:
"It's common to catch a villain with rampant selfishness. It's really unheard of in the ages that Wang and Qi debated in front of the Confucian Temple. Zhang Dian learns from you and put those trivial matters in peace to see this scene."

Hearing Mi Xinlan say that arresting Lu Zhongqi was just a trivial matter, a routine matter, Zhang Wu, the Secretary of the Bureau of Shangwen, smiled.

"What your lord said is that I thought Qi Xiaoxing was already a rare talented woman in the world. I didn't expect that Wang Cunshu could be equal to her? It was really eye-opening to see these two fighting each other today. There is no other woman in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with these two in Confucian classics."

The fan in Mi Xinlan's hand paused slightly.

"Zhang Dianxue, there are so many talented women in this world, if you say they are amazingly talented..."

Zhang Wu looked at Mi Xinlan, only to see her drooping eyes and smiling.

"If you want to say that you are amazing, Zhang Dianxue, you should go out and walk around more to find out."

"Master Mi means that you actually know a woman who is far better than the two in front of you? Who is that? Your natal niece? Or a lady from a famous family in Hunan and Jiangxi?"

Zhang Wu once again looked at the two women who were talking eloquently, and couldn't figure out what the woman who was far superior to them looked like.

"If Mr. Mi knows such a woman, no matter what, please recommend her to Beijing."

Mi Xinlan smiled lightly again and shook her head:
"She has a doomed body, and she is trapped in the world of mortals. When she breaks out of the cocoon, she will definitely shock the world."

After finishing speaking, Mi Xinlan stopped talking and looked at those Confucian scholars again.

When the Confucian scholars in Qingzhou were defeated by Qi Xiaoxing one after another, many of them had already left. At this moment, there are only a few people who are listening to their debates carefully, and the rest...

There are also those traffickers who listen to these scriptures impatiently, and their eyes are only on the ladies.

"Zhang Dianxue, look at those people, we have to remember their demeanor carefully."

Zhang Wu looked over, frowning slightly.

Mi Xinlan said softly: "Since His Majesty made a woman an official, the orders of the imperial court prohibit it, and the internal affairs of Yanjing City are harmonious. Occasionally, there are people who make noise, but they can be deterred by His Majesty. After staying in Duanji Palace for a long time, we are occasionally in a trance. I think it is not difficult for a woman to be an official."

"After leaving Yanjing, these people, will they believe in female officials? They don't believe it, so they will lock their daughters at home, lock their wives in the kitchen, and interrupt those who can read and write. legs, just like Wang Cunshu, they will blind her eyes, and then tell the world that she doesn't want to."

Mi Xinlan's tone was faint, and Zhang Wu slowly clenched his hands.

"As long as Lu Zhongqi and his like are still in charge of these state capitals, these yamen, these clans, these... families, this kind of thing will never stop. Do you think there are only a few people in the court who oppose female officials? Nope , no."

The golden fan was shining brightly under the winter sun, Mi Xinlan looked at the words on the fan and said with a smile:
"More people, they know that as long as they stand on the sidelines, the heads of the family, the heads of the clan, and the parents of the same place can easily kill the female officials. There is no need for them to do anything, as long as someone keeps telling His Majesty, the woman We can't, women can't do it, women don't want to do it, and some things will naturally subside."

In a very short moment, Zhang Wu felt a deep chill.

She is no stranger to this kind of chill. Back then, she was tricked by the eunuch Zhang into the palace to become a female official, and was also forced to be "counter food" with him. Her father entrusted someone to send her a letter, telling her to kill herself. Zhang's face.

At that time, she had suffered such cold and cold.

When looking at Qi Xiaoxing and Wang Cunshu again, Zhang Wu had a new understanding.

She finally understood what Mi Xinlan said was rare.

Because the appearance of two women debating scriptures in front of the Confucian Temple is not only unprecedented.

There may also be no one behind at any time.

It will be wiped out in the history books and dissipated in the mouths of the people.

How to do it?

How to do it?

Zhang Wu was terrified, how can the road they have finally walked out not collapse into ruins?
-

"Mishi! Mi Xinlan! Your Majesty sent you to Qingzhou, but you want to take down my fourth-rank court official without any evidence. You clearly regard the court's laws as nothing. Is this why you women are officials? Do you know?"

Standing in the lobby of the Qingzhou government office, Lu Zhongquan looked fearless, looking at the female officials in official robes in front of him, he sneered:
"That's right, you women will hold power one day, so you will naturally show some abilities that you didn't have before. Use my head to let His Majesty know that the officials are against women as officials, and you can also have more grace! It's a pity, the skynet will be sparse. Not to mention, how wise your majesty is, one day he will know about the shady deeds of you women!"

Mi Xinlan nodded, and said to Lian Moniang beside her:

"Hurry up and write down what Lu Zhifu said. If someone in the court impeaches us like this in a few days, then it is likely to be Lu Zhifu's accomplice."

"Sister? Mi Xinlan, you are bloody! You have disregarded human life and framed courtiers, so everyone can be punished!"

Mi Xinlan nodded again:
"Continue to record the matter, and then write down another one. The prefect Lu became angry and threatened the life of the imperial envoy."

Lu Zhongqi was furious: "Mi Xinlan, you have turned black and white so far, are you not afraid of death?"

Mi Xinlan smiled.

"Prefect Lu, when you turned black and white and said that Wang Cunshu didn't want to choose a female official and even hurt herself, didn't you think that such things would be used on you?"

Seeing that Lu Zhongqi glared at her and said no more, she opened the fan in her hand.

"Prefect Lu, to tell you the truth, before I came, His Majesty had said a word to me."

A woman in her fifties is wearing a blue official gown, a red horse-face skirt underneath, and a leather belt around her waist. The official hat on her head is slightly less than the hairpin flowers on the head of ordinary female officials, but it is extraordinarily delicate and unique. She was wearing a black black fox cloak, which set off her face like a gentle jade, with a charming charm.

Such a woman, no matter how you look at it, should be doing housework in the back house, and going around her husband and son-in-law every day. Even if she has some cleverness, it is only used for intrigue with some concubines.

But it was also such a woman, she was looking at the fourth-rank official of the imperial court who was bound under the hall with a smile in her eyes.

"Your Majesty said that he has heard of a woman who hurt herself for not being an official, but he has never heard of a man who hurt himself for not being an official. A man has been an official for thousands of years, and a woman has been an official for a few months. Such a bizarre thing can happen. His Majesty said that he does not want to explain, nor does he want to be true or false. If the prefect Lu wants to prove his innocence, he will find a man who hurt himself in order not to be an official. Be comparable to Wang Cunshu."

On the golden fan, the eight characters of "Punish traitors according to the law and promote Gangji" calm the soul. Lu Zhongqi looked at the eight characters and suddenly burst out laughing.

After laughing, his head hit the ground heavily.

"It turns out that His Majesty has convicted me long ago!"

Seeing him like this, Mi Xinlan slowly shook her head:

"It's you yourself. Since you made this plan, you have already been condemned."

* It is the dispute between "practical learning" and "heart learning" of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty.

Non-responsible small episode three:
Guaranteed to protect the tire?
Before Zhao Surui could figure out what these two words meant, he had already been driven back to the bed by A Chi and a few maidservants.

Looking at the red quilt on his body, the wise and mighty Emperor Zhaode panicked even more.

"I want to go back to Beijing!"

"Miss, what the doctor means is that if you are in a hurry to return to Beijing now, this child will be lost."

Can't keep it?

Zhao Surui froze.

A Chi's movements were very neat, and he had already brought the decoction for miscarriage.

Taking advantage of no one else, A Chi smiled and said:
"Uncle, don't worry, even if Tunan is not here, and my girl is not here, I will take good care of you and let you give birth to your and my girl's child safely."

Zhao Surui: "..."

Why was I born? ? ! !
It’s a difficult chapter to write. I saw a comment before saying why it was so easy for female officials to implement it, because it was pushed down by the emperor. As a bureaucratic system, if you want to kill something, you don’t need to fight against the emperor. As long as there are some moths in the execution, it will be fine.

Shen Shiqing is very aware of this, so she must quickly summon more female officials, the essence is to ensure the implementation.
