The next day, when he went to the court, nangongyan issued two new decrees.
The first is that from next year, women can also take the scientific examination like men, and those with outstanding talents can enter the DPRK as officials.
The second is to order the establishment of a women's medical department to assist the Royal Hospital. The medical officers of the women's medical department are selected from the private sector and must be assessed at all levels, while Ji Qingxue is the direct person in charge of the women's medical department.
The two decrees caused an uproar in the imperial court. In particular, the two decrees had not been discussed with the ministers of the diligent hall in advance. It was entirely nangongyan's own opinion, so the reaction of the ministers was more intense.
"How can a woman be an official in the dynasty like a man?"
"It's just the women's medical department, but if you participate in the scientific examination and become an official in the dynasty, please consider it again."
â¦â¦
Nangong Yan didn't feel angry when he looked at the gossip of the ministers below. He had expected this in advance. If these ministers accepted it at once, it would be a problem.
"Be quiet!" Fu'an stood up under the inspiration of Nangong Yan's eyes, "if there are problems among all officials, you can put them forward one by one. You don't have to discuss them privately with your highness."
As soon as these words came out, all officials suddenly quieted down, and then turned their eyes to Xiang Qingtian, the first and second minister standing in the front. Obviously, they wanted Xiang Qingtian to stand up and stop nangongyan's crazy idea.
He bowed to Qingtian and said, "emperor Rong, old minister, dare to ask, why does the emperor suddenly have this idea?"
Xiang Qingtian is nangongyan's mentor. Nangongyan always respects him. Moreover, he is also Dayan's humerus and has a high prestige among all officials.
Nangong Yan looked at him faintly: "I don't know what opinion Shoufu has on the channel excavation scheme I discussed with the engineering department a few days ago?"
All officials are waiting for Nangong Yan to explain. Unexpectedly, he turned the topic to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.
He asked Qingtian: "I think this method is very good. Although there is no effect in the short term, in the long run, this can be done once and for all to prevent people from suffering from floods again."
Nangong Yan chuckled and waved his broad sleeve, as if with deep meaning: "it seems that the first auxiliary is also quite satisfied with the method of digging and building channel branch drainage, but this method is not my idea, but the Queen's suggestion."
There was a sound of surprise among the officials. No one expected that the demon queen in their mouth should have such wisdom.
"Since that incident, I have often been thinking. There is no absolute thing in the world. Who can guarantee that men will be smarter than women? Why can't we put aside our prejudices and let women participate in national affairs?"
You huaizhu was the first to stand up and support Nangong Yan: "Weichen thinks what the emperor said is reasonable. People with ability in all official positions in the court live there, and it's no surprise that women take part in the scientific examination."
All the officials protested in silence when they didn't speak. They still felt that this matter was too mischievous. Didn't it overturn the rules set by our ancestors?
There was a loud roar outside the hall: "the queen is coming!"
This sound really surprised all officials. Since ancient times, the harem has been forbidden to do politics. Everyone in the harem can't avoid it, but Ji Qingxue dared to come here. It seems that the emperor has really spoiled this woman.
Ji Qingxue walked slowly. Finally, Kan Kan stood in front of all the officials. Although he had some opinions in his heart, he still had to be polite.
"I'm waiting for the queen," they shouted.
Ji Qingxue's eyebrows and eyes were as clear as a distant mountain. She glanced at the kneeling ministers, but she didn't mean to let them get up at all.
"The palace has just been outside the palace. The palace has heard what the ministers said. I don't know whether to ask or not."
The people bowed their heads: "but listen to the instruction of the queen."
Ji Qing Xuelian moved gently and shuttled around all the officials: "general you just said that people with ability in the court, regardless of the size of the official position, live there. If women can successfully pass the imperial examination, why not let them become officials in the court?"
The brave official disdained to say, "there is no precedent for a woman to become an official in the DPRK. This is the rule set by her ancestors. Does the queen want to violate the ancestral system?"
Ji Qingxue frowned and said coldly, "the rules set by your ancestors? I'm afraid it's the rules set by your men."
"Why did the queen say that?"
"In your heart, you have long been used to the days when wives and concubines regard you as heaven. Frankly, they are your attachments and a means for you to show off. Although you are the closest person in the world, you have never given them real equality from the bottom of your heart."
Ji Qingxue made waves in the hearts of all officials, and everyone began to talk and talk again.
Someone came out as if he wanted to correct his name: "the Queen's words are bad. Ministers have never thought so."
Ji Qingxue had a mocking smile on her face: "no? One of the people in this hall is one. Who can stand up and pat his chest and tell the palace that there is no inferiority between men and women in your eyes?"
As a result, all officials buried their heads lower.
"The reason why you feel angry is that this palace is telling the truth. You think women only need to teach their husband and children at home and wash their hands as soup. The reason why you are so strongly opposed to women being officials in Korea is that you are afraid that one day the women you despise will surpass you in your most proud place."
Ji Qingxue's eyes become more and more sharp. These stubborn people really need to be educated, "There are many talented women in my great Yan. Why do they have to live at home and spend their life with their husband and children? Sometimes they have to suffer from your white eyes and cowardice. Have you ever given women equal respect? Don't look down on women. Which of them didn't come out of a woman's stomach?"
"Moreover, gold should not be buried. Women and men take part in the scientific examination at the same time. The system is the same harsh. There is no special preferential treatment because they are women. So what are you afraid of? The dignified seven foot man is so small bellied and chicken hearted. This palace is ashamed of you!"
Ji Qingxue stood among the ministers, the sound was like a bell, and every word came into their ears very clearly.
Nangong Yan has been sitting on the Dragon chair. He quietly squeezed Ji Qingxue's eyes. That means he did a good job.
His ah Xue is so different and unique.
