stern wife

Chapter 407 Battle in the Temple [Part [-]]
They thought that women were born with weaker strength than men, and no matter how Pei Xiaoran taught them, they would eventually be inferior to men, and might even be inferior to men younger than her.

However, Pei Xiaoran saved Emperor Chixuan by killing the tiger at the palace banquet.

At this time, the ministers were already on alert, but the contempt for women still made them relax their vigilance.

Maybe it's just luck that Pei Xiaoran was able to rescue him smoothly.

But no matter how lucky you are, in history, there is no precedent for a woman to be an official!
Therefore, they firmly believed that their sage would never violate the rules set by their ancestors.

However, today, they were finally slapped in the face.

The prime minister was afraid that with this beginning, Pei Xiaoran would really rise all the way in the future, so he had to stand up.

Pei Xiaoran immediately sneered.

The prime minister's words sounded like it was for her own good, but he didn't want her to be an official.

She no longer gave Zhu Lianxi a chance to speak, and said in a crisp voice:

"Actually, before Xiaoran stepped into this hall for the first time, he thought that the people who could stand in this hall were the most talented and intelligent people of our Suzaku."

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help puffing out their chests proudly.

"However--"

Pei Xiaoran changed the subject, and said with disappointment:
"However, when I came here and saw the words and deeds of the adults, Xiaoran realized that Xiaoran's previous thoughts were too naive."

The raised chests of the ministers froze immediately.

Pei Xiaoran didn't give them any face, and continued:
"Rules are made by people. In other words, the ancestors who set the rules were only born a few years earlier than us. In fact, they are just like us, just humans, not gods. Therefore, the rules they set The rules are not necessarily perfect.

However, there are so many smart and talented people in the Manchu Dynasty, but they only stick to the rules and get used to the old ways!And narrow-minded, even a little girl like me can't accommodate her!May I ask, what is the difference between the adults in this court and those rigid and pedantic scholars in the world? ! "

As soon as the words of "big treason and injustice" came out, Man Chao Wenwu's eyes widened in shock.

Pei Xiaoran looked at the prime minister again, chuckled lightly, and asked:
"The prime minister's meaning is nothing more than that women should stay at home all their lives and not show their faces, otherwise they will be disobedient, chaste and unclean. My daughter dares to ask if the prime minister is a woman, she will be willing to be trapped in a small party for the rest of her life. In heaven and earth?"

Needless to say, being able to sit in the position of prime minister is a talent, how could a talented person be willing to be trapped in one place for the rest of his life?
Then she asked:
"The Prime Minister said that our Suzaku is full of talents, and this little girl admitted it, but the Prime Minister also said that the loss of a little girl would have no effect on us Suzaku. Dare I ask what the Prime Minister's basis is for this? What if there is What about the impact? Some people say that the little girl can keep the Suzaku stable for 50 years. If the prime minister’s words prevent the little girl from joining the army, causing Suzaku to go to war early, or encounter other disasters that cannot be reversed, dare to ask, at that time, the prime minister will be able to bear the burden. Big mistake?"

Seeing the prime minister's complexion changed drastically, Pei Xiaoran looked at Emperor Chixuan again, and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, my daughter thinks, compared with defending my family and defending the country, what is my reputation alone? Even if my reputation is really damaged, my daughter will not be able to get married in this life and I can only be an old girl. My daughter is willing, No complaints or regrets!"

it is good!well said!
Pei Yanhe almost jumped up to cheer for his sister.

At the same time, I feel very distressed, if my sister really takes the official path, she will definitely be gossips from others in the future, maybe she will really become an old girl.

However, he secretly made up his mind, thinking that if his sister can't get married, then he won't marry either, so what's the point of spending the rest of his life with his sister? !
Emperor Chixuan was startled, never expecting that a child would say such words.

And, if you think about it carefully, what you said actually makes a lot of sense.

That's right, the rules are made by people, so they are also human, so why can't they be changed?

And Pei Xiaoran's last sentence moved Emperor Chixuan even more.

A woman's reputation has always been more important than her life.

However, for Suzaku, this little girl can even give up her own reputation, which shows how loyal she is to Suzaku and him.

Compared with her righteousness, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty are really narrow-minded and disgusting.

Emperor Chixuan looked at the prime minister with a smile and asked:
"Prime Minister, do you have anything else to say?"

The Prime Minister, who has always been indifferent to emotions and anger, now has a rare and ugly expression on his face. He gritted his teeth, but he could only say:
"Weichen has nothing to say."

The little girl herself said that she didn't care about her reputation because of Suzaku, so how could he refute it?

Could it be that Suzaku is not as important as a woman's reputation?

In front of Emperor Chixuan, even if he had ten guts, he would never dare to say this.

Moreover, not only him, but also the faces of other ministers are not very good-looking.

Pei Xiaoran laughed secretly, and said to himself, these old foxes have been immersed in the imperial court for so many years, how come they still can't figure out the emperor's heart?

For the ministers, not allowing her to be an official is nothing more than fearing that she will set a precedent for women to be officials, and many women will follow suit in the future, making it impossible for men to dominate the government and the opposition.

However, for Emperor Chixuan, she was not alone, but just a sword in his hand. Her task was to strike wherever he pointed.

If you want this sword to kill more enemies, you must sharpen her sharper and be more able to deter others.

That's why Emperor Chixuan tried his best to overcome all opinions and insisted on entrusting her with important tasks and leading her into official career.

After all, the greater the power in her hands, the greater the role she can play.

And no matter how sharp a sword is, it cannot shake the foundation of the country.

Therefore, Emperor Chixuan didn't pay attention to the concerns of those ministers.

And the reason why Pei Xiaoran said these words was to convince Emperor Chixuan that no matter whether she was alone or with a sword, she was willing to give everything for Suzaku and was absolutely loyal.

In this way, Emperor Chixuan will give her more power and more influence.

In fact, Pei Xiaoran knew in his heart that it was impossible to turn the woman over and the courtiers to change their views on the woman just by her words.

But everything is not achieved overnight, but step by step.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, she has already taken the most difficult first step, and there will naturally be someone to take her place on the rest of the road.
