Chapter 227: Imperial sister, we are of the same root, why are you so anxious to harm me?
When Hua Rong saw the Fourth Prince's expression, he hurried over to help him up. When the Fourth Prince saw Hua Rong, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
"Hua Rong, this life is unbearable. Father has been staring at us reading memorials all night long!"
The ministers looked at the six princes in shock. One night? Reading memorials?
Everyone started talking about it!
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Are you planning to appoint a crown prince?"
"Six princes are reading the memorial together. It seems that His Majesty has his eye on one of them!"
"It seems that we need to pay more attention to this matter."
……
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
The emperor then came to court holding Long Xianxian.
The ministers shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.
Emperor: "Everyone, please stand up!"
When everyone stood up, the little princess' laughter was heard.
[Hahaha, my six brothers, how come you all have panda eyes like father?!]
When the ministers looked up, they saw that the emperor's eyes were as black as the six princes'.
The emperor was so angry that he slammed the dragon throne!
These six troublesome people deserve to be punished.
"You are all uneducated princes, how did your teacher teach you?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Hanlin Academy knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The six princes also knelt down: "Father, please calm down!"
They are so unlucky. They don't think about competing for the throne, so why should they read the memorials? If they do, it should be the future prince.
The Emperor said: "From today on, the princes will retake their courses. Also, the six of you will go to the Prime Minister to assist him in handling official business. Prime Minister, I will leave them to you!"
When the Prime Minister heard this, he almost cursed out loud: Your Majesty, do you know that I am about to retire!
But the Prime Minister dared not say anything and still stood up: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The six princes felt like they were struck by lightning at this moment!
Not only do they have to retake courses, but they also have to follow the prime minister to review memorials. How miserable they are!
[Haha, thank goodness I'm young. My royal brothers, you must endure the hardship of studying. This way, father won't have to read to me. Yay!]
[Father, Xianxian thinks you need to regularly assess your brothers. My brothers are so talented, so if you randomly check one every day, you can keep them motivated!]
The princes looked at the emperor's sister in his arms in shock.
The princes: My sister, we are of the same root, why are you so anxious to harm me?
The emperor waved his hand and asked these rebellious sons to go back.
"What else do you want to report?"
Bai Jinxi, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Long Xianxian didn't expect that it was Miss Xi Guiren from before.
Emperor: "Speak!"
Bai Jinxi: "Your Majesty, all the female officials for this imperial examination have been appointed. I have a suggestion. What women need most right now is education. I hope the court can support this and establish a women's imperial academy in the capital."
Emperor: "I believe that since men and women are equal, there should be no girls' schools. Both boys and girls should attend school together. I will issue an edict to allow all girls in Dayong to attend school."
Bai Jinxi didn't expect His Majesty to say this, but Bai Jinxi was a little hesitant.
Bai Jinxi: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, is there anything I should say?"
Emperor: "What do you mean?"
Bai Jinxi: "Your Majesty, I think your idea is too idealistic. First, will the parents of those students send their children to school? If they do, will those female students be able to afford the tuition? Also, there are no female teachers in the school, only male students and male teachers. Can the safety of the female students be guaranteed?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials fell silent.
The Emperor said: "You have thought it through, indeed. However, I still believe that they should not be separated. Other issues need to be discussed. Please come up with a specific plan, and then we can discuss this issue."
Bai Jinxi was delighted, His Majesty agreed!
Bai Jinxi: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Why is it so complicated? Isn't it just a lack of money? That's not easy. Just find a wealthy businessman to sponsor you. Those who love to do charity, stop praying to the gods. Isn't this a ready-made charity?
If the school doesn't have separate dormitories for male and female students, wouldn't it be better if they could just separate the dormitories for male and female students? It should be easy enough to hire a few guards to ensure the students' safety!
For those whose parents disagree, we should offer them some benefits. For example, if they study well, they can become officials and receive salaries. They can also become teachers and shine in various fields. Don't let them just focus on earning the betrothal money. How much is that?
As the little princess's voice rang out, everyone present fell silent.
All the ladies-in-waiting were shocked.
What the little princess said is very right. In fact, when a woman gets married, the betrothal gift given by her husband's family is very little, and some even have to pay money out of their own pocket. Even if they don't get married, they can still earn a lot by doing embroidery work.
In remote places, a woman's life can be bought for a few cents. How miserable!
Emperor: My daughter is really amazing, much better than those sons.
The emperor looked at his daughter, his eyes full of, "My daughter is the best."
Grand Tutor: "Your Majesty, I think that capable female candidates for this imperial examination can go to the Imperial Academy to teach."
Lin Shiyin also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, after leaving the court, I will volunteer to teach at the Imperial Academy!"
The other female officials also stood up.
Including Jiang Si who said before: "Your Majesty, I can teach you how to make weapons. Weapon design requires more talent."
When Jiang Si said this, everyone remembered the cannon she made.
This cannon has been shipped to Ryukyu. I wonder if it is being used now?
[Miss, thanks to your artillery, Lin Chong has now reached the capital of Japan!]
So fast?
Everyone was shocked. Didn’t Lin Chong just arrive in Ryukyu not long ago? How could he have already reached the capital of Japan?
Everyone's ears pricked up, wanting to know how brave Dayong's army was.
At this moment, the guards outside the door came in.
"Your Majesty, urgent battle report from the Eastern Expedition Army, eight hundred miles away!"
Emperor: "Present it quickly!"
Godley went down and brought up the battle report.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Expedition Army has already attacked the Ryukyu Palace and is making great progress. The artillery Your Majesty sent is extremely powerful, and wherever it goes, it strikes fear into the enemy. We are now heading to Kyoto and will soon conquer Japan!"
The emperor was delighted when he saw this: "Good, good! Jiang Si has made a great contribution!"
Conquering Japan is just around the corner!
"The Japanese have been harassing the eastern region of Dayong for a long time. We must finally resolve this major threat!"
Taiwei: "Your Majesty, what is the current situation of the battle?"
Lin Chong and Yang Wan are preparing to attack the city. They've just arrived in Kyoto, but they're a little late. The emperor of Japan has changed!
ha?
What does substitution mean?
Emperor: "I think we will conquer Japan soon."
[Father, I think we can get it done tomorrow. Haha, Lin Chong and the others didn't expect that the Japanese would start a civil war among themselves. The Japanese Empress Dowager and Emperor were killed by the Second Imperial Uncle. He just ascended the throne today, and we didn't expect our Dayong army to reach the gates of Kyoto. Haha, the new Japanese emperor is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.]
Long Xianxian saw the scene in the scroll. Who wouldn’t be scared seeing this scene?
At the city gate, neatly arranged cannons were aimed at the gate of Kyoto, ready to fire.
If it hadn't rained today, Lin Chong would probably have ordered an attack.
But there is no other way now, we can only cover the artillery first.
The Imperial Master calculated for a moment, and was delighted at first, but then his face froze.
How could this be?
