Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 460: Going to the Court to Participate in Government
"According to Lord Lu, the princess is no longer the heir to the throne? The eldest prince has gone to Shu to guard the northwestern border. The other princes and princesses are sitting in the capital, receiving support from the people, and not doing anything for the people. Isn't this a joke?"

Minister Lu gnashed his teeth and said, "What do they know as women? Since ancient times, the court has been dominated by men. Women are involved in state affairs. Does that mean there is no one in the court?"

Qi Lang spoke loudly, not afraid of the warning look from Lu Shangshu: "Your Excellency means that women are stupid, right? Then the person who manages the affairs of the entire mansion in Lu Shangshu's family should not be Madam Lu, right? After all, women know nothing, and the affairs of the family are troublesome, so naturally the eldest son of the family should manage them."

Minister Lu choked, and his hatred for Qi Lang increased. He was mocking his unlearned and dissolute eldest son, and was slapping him in the face!
"Princesses are not completely useless. If a small country on the border asks for a marriage alliance, the princess can go! If a noble family wants to marry, the princess can also marry one! The court is not their world, the harem is. The ladies of noble families are all the face of the noble families who take care of their husbands and children and abide by the rules. Princesses naturally represent the face of the royal family."

Fan Zizheng stood up and refuted, "This lord's point of view is biased. Our Beifeng Kingdom is a great country. Why should we sacrifice the princess for a small border country? Besides, who has stipulated that the one who marries a princess must be a princess? There was a precedent of the marriage of princes during the reign of Empress Wu. It is their common mission and responsibility to bring peace to the country."

"Besides, Beifeng Kingdom has a million soldiers and the surrounding countries are just small countries. Why should we marry them? Sending a concubine to protect the country is not enough. I don't know where to use the general. Beifeng Kingdom has had more than one empress since its founding, and the empresses have been in office during unprecedented prosperity. This is enough to prove that the princess' participation in politics will not bring any harm to the court."

"The only downside is that it will offend some old conservatives. After all, he is not good at doing things, and he is not a very good person. The court is not run by his family, so this is not allowed and that is not allowed. In the end, he has never made any useful suggestions. I don't know if he participated in the imperial examinations, or whether he got his official position by relying on connections and bribes."

"you!"

Minister Lu was so angry that he was speechless. His supporters came out to say a few words, but were retorted by the two big mouths in minutes. Some of them were Prime Minister He's followers, but unfortunately Prime Minister He was not there, so they did not dare to act rashly and remained neutral.

The two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and their singing of the same tune pushed the atmosphere in the court to a climax. Seeing that the emperor's expression had relaxed a little, the ministers stamped their feet anxiously. They had never seen a man who would actively think of letting a woman share a piece of the pie. They didn't know what was wrong with them!

If women enter the court again, it will fuel their ambitions. In the future, all the women in the family will want to get ahead and be restless in the inner house, which will definitely cause unrest in the family!

"Household affairs always need someone to take care of them. Women are naturally careful and thoughtful, so they should stay in the back house to take care of their husbands and children, and should not come to the front house to cause trouble. Men should also have a hot meal to eat and a close friend by their side when they return home."

Qi Lang smiled brightly, still in that light tone: "Since women are born with so many advantages, they should participate in politics, rather than being trapped in the inner house and burying their talents. As for the family affairs that you mentioned, they will naturally be undertaken by other capable brothers and sisters in the family. In the court, we should be the best of the best, not a bunch of idiots who can't even think of a solution to the flood in Jizhou."

"Master Qi, watch your words!"

Minister Lu was furious. He was not so arrogant when he was young. Who gave him the confidence?

The method of controlling the flood in Jizhou was thought up by the eldest princess, and he didn't participate in it. How could someone be so cruel as to scold even himself?

Minister Lu didn't understand, but Qi Lang secretly observed Emperor Jingde's expression. He was not impatient, but watched their verbal battle with interest, which showed that he highly recognized the eldest princess's talents.

His task today was to cooperate with Lord Fan and other lords to bring the Sixth Prince to the court. "Lord Lu is in the wrong, but he doesn't allow others to say anything. He is also a coward, but he doesn't allow others to go to the court to participate in politics. Minister Lu, do you really care about the people and the emperor? This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If a woman sets a precedent for entering the court, then Beifeng Country will not have to worry about the lack of talent selection in the future."

"Women make up almost one-third of the population of Beifeng Country. If they can all use this as an incentive and work hard to improve themselves, wouldn't Beifeng Country have so many more talented people?"

Minister Lu was dissatisfied: "Even so, the princess and the prince are the heirs of the throne, and it is understandable for them to attend the court. This country belongs to the Feng family. What about the eldest princess? The eldest princess is just a country girl, a person of an outsider family. It is not her turn to participate in politics, right? Do you still want her to enter the court, Qi Lang, what are you thinking?"

"Lord Lu, your words are too serious. I did not say that I wanted the princess to come to the court. It was Lord Lu who spoke first. Although Lord Lu agrees, this matter still needs to be decided by the emperor. I have no right to interfere!"

Lord Fan stopped the situation in time and threw away the problem and the option, so their mission was accomplished.

Emperor Jingde watched everything coldly, and seeing the obvious difference in attitude between the two parties, he remained silent for a long time.

After all, isn't it because he's attracted to the fact that he's sitting on the throne?
He is not dead yet, and everyone is thinking about him.

He knew what Qi Lang and Fan Zizheng were thinking. They wanted to muddy the waters, drag the woman into the court, use the other party's power to distract attention, and catch all the followers of the He and Lu families in one fell swoop.

He knew exactly what Mr. Lu was thinking.

His daughter Huifei gave birth to a son and a daughter. Their entire family and her mother's family all support the second son Feng Yizhou. So what?
"I agree with your proposal. The heirs can also enter the court to participate in politics. After all, the eldest prince has also been trained in the court for many years. If other princes are not given the opportunity to gain experience, there will always be people who say that I am unfair."

"As for the eldest princess, she is already qualified to participate in politics. It was clearly written in the imperial edict I issued at the time that the eldest princess has the same status as the prince. Since the prince can attend court, the eldest princess can certainly do so."

"Besides, the eldest princess's talent is superior to yours. What qualifications do you have to deny her? Just because she is not of royal blood? You are not of royal blood either, and your contributions to the people are not that great, but you are still living well?"

"Okay, it's settled. From tomorrow on, all the princes and princesses, including the eldest princess, will come to court to express their opinions."

There was complete silence in the hall, and it took a long time before someone realized that the emperor actually agreed!

Fan Zizheng and Qi Lang took the lead in expressing their gratitude, and the smile on their lips could not be suppressed.
