Chapter 945 The Friendship Between the Two Countries

Chapter 945 The friendship between the two countries

How is it different from opposing Bai Qingyan's ascension to the throne as a woman?

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to object, but this edict set off a huge wave in the hearts of the envoys of Dayan and Xiao Rongyan, as well as the envoys of Xiliang and Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie's palms tightened. In Xiliang... the status of women is higher than that of Jin women, but despite this, the Empress of Xiliang, after ascending the throne, did not dare to risk the disgrace of the world... There is such a thing as using a woman as an official. thought.

Bai Qingyan dared to make such a move when he first came to the throne. With such a boldness, is he really sure of winning, or... is he acting on his own will, thinking that he can challenge the etiquette system by becoming the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Xiao Rongyan, who was standing behind the "Nine Princes of Great Yan", looked around calmly, and saw that almost half of the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not very good-looking, and he faintly broke into a cold sweat for Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan seemed too impatient when it came to using women as officials...

Anxious, it’s not a good thing. Xiao Rongyan’s mother, Empress Ji, once wanted to improve the status of women and let women enter the court as officials, but in the end, the students of Yan State objected, and even made the students gather at the palace gate to remonstrate with their mother. The thing about the demon queen wronging the country came.

King Hedong lowered his eyelids, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. Sure enough...Bai Qingyan still wanted to use women as officials.

In this way, the effort he has sent people to work among the students during this period of time is finally not in vain, and he can make a fuss about this matter.

After the imperial edict was read out, all the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty knelt down to thank them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Great Week!"

The enthronement ceremony came to an end in the astonishment of the envoys from all over the world.

After the grand ceremony, there was a banquet for the envoys from all over the world. The female relatives of the important ministers and their families had already entered the palace to the Xuanming Hall where the palace banquet was set up. They sat in the place where the attendants took them, smiling and greeting each other.

Some women from noble families who have read poetry and books heard that today Bai Qing issued an edict to open a women's school, allow women to take scientific examinations, and allow women to enter the court as officials. Their hands trembled with excitement. Resisting the surging emotions, he sat on the seat with a smile and imagined that he could enter the court with his father as an official and make his father proud.

All the noble ladies are well-informed. It is reasonable to know that Bai Qingyan intends to improve the status of women. After all, Bai Qingyan is a woman herself.

The entire Xuanming Hall was discussing Bai Qingyan's new policy and Xu's daughter's scientific examination to become an official.

Previously, there was an article in the New Deal that encouraged widows to remarry. If a widow has children, the family property under her husband’s name cannot be forcibly seized if the widow has not remarried. Half of the family property under the name is handed over to the parents-in-law. If the woman leaves the child to remarry alone, the dowry is not counted, and the family property under the husband’s name must be left in the hands of the children. Once this new policy comes out...how many literati scolded it for violating the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, it is also a shock among the common people There was a thousand waves.

But the officials all know that Bai Qingyan's move is to increase the country's population. After all, the countries are fighting now, and the soldiers died on the battlefield, which has increased the orphans and widows.

The woman's family has to take care of the children, and also has to take care of the farming. How many families have left their fertile land in ruins because of the lack of labor at home.

How many women's families were expelled by the clan because of the death of their husbands, causing widowed mothers and young children to starve to death on the street, and even families like the Bai family almost suffered this fate.

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

Li Mingrui personally explained to the common people that the reason for encouraging widows to remarry is to enable widows and young children to maintain their livelihoods. The reason is clear, but who among the majority of men in the world would like to remarry with their wives and their children and property after their death?

The discussions among the women in the main hall were intense, and all of them were eager to try to see if they could win the imperial examination.

There is a widowed woman in the Bai family who came to the palace banquet today as a member of the royal family. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand back and forth, her eyes were downcast and her heart was pounding.

Before the new policy came out to encourage widows to remarry, she thought it was nothing more than thunder and rain, but today Bai Qing said that as soon as she ascended the throne, she will open a girls' school, allow girls to take scientific examinations, and use girls as officials. Seriously, should she take this opportunity...to leave the Bai family, her cousin has never remarried since his wife's death, just for her, if she can marry her cousin...it can be regarded as fulfilling their marriage for many years Pity.

Mrs. Bai's hands were covered with fine sweat. She wiped it off with a handkerchief, and warned herself not to rush... This matter can only be brought up after being sure.

Not long after, the envoys and ministers from various countries entered the palace, and the noble ladies covered half of their faces with round fans, exposed their eyes, and looked curiously at the masked Lord Dayan Nine and Lord Rongdi with a ghost face.

The reason why I am interested in King Yanjiu is because I have seen the magnificent Yan Emperor Murong Yu, at least so far... These noble ladies have never seen a more beautiful man than Murong Yu. Whether the Nine Princes of Yan, who is wearing a mask, looks as good as his elder brother.

The reason why I am interested in Lord Rong Di Ghost Mask is because I heard that Lord Ghost Mask is extremely ugly. Curiosity drives these ignorant ladies to see how ugly Prince Rong Di Ghost Mask is under his mask.

As for Li Zhijie, most of the noble ladies who can come to Xuanming Palace today have already seen it, so they are not very curious.

Li Zhijie, on the other hand, took advantage of the fact that Dayan had let Xiliang read the covenant they made with Rong Di before, to show his favor to Lord Dayan Nine, and talked with Lord Dayan Nine about the new policy of Bai Qing, the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. .

"The Empress of the Great Zhou has just ascended the throne, and the new policies and regulations promulgated are all provoking the secular etiquette and the interests of the family. She is too aggressive and does not seek the overall situation. If it is not for the military power... I am afraid it will be difficult to secure a seat!" Li Zhijie Kneeling and sitting in front of the table, unfolding the Iron Fracture Fan and fanning it once and for all.

Wearing a mask, the Nine Princes of Yanyan sat upright, speaking slowly: "Which family's emperor's position is not because of the military power? At the beginning of the chaos in Yunjing... If King Yan hadn't led the troops to protect each other, I'm afraid it would be the empress of Xiliang His throne is also unstable."

Li Zhijie let out a low laugh, and looked at Xiao Rongyan who was sitting behind the Ninth Prince of Yan, "I heard that Mr. Have you thought about a good marriage alliance? If so, why...don't let Emperor Yan confer the title of Mr. Xiao, and lift up Mr. Xiao's identity, so as to form a good relationship between the two countries?"

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