Chapter 323 The Southern Envoy Visits
Yan Yun hesitated: "Of course not. But having three wives and four concubines is their right. Isn't it unfair for the imperial sister to deprive them of their rights so easily?"
"Rights?" Yan Li's smile became more and more mocking, "For first-class officials, aren't their prominent status and generous salary a reward for them? Isn't it enough to have one wife, three concubines, and five houses? Brother Eight Emperors thinks it must be Only with three palaces and six courtyards can I be worthy of the status of all men? "
Yan Yun's face changed drastically: "That's not what I meant!"
"If anyone thinks it's unfair, you can take off your official uniform and get out today!" Yan Li looked sternly, "Brother Eight Emperors, why don't you ask the ministers present, who studied hard for ten years in a cold window, which one was for raising eighteen Are you studying for the sake of having a concubine? You want to tell me, being romantic is the way for a man to appease his ancestors?
Yan Yun's face turned red: "Imperial sister, these are strong words!"
"I have no interest in talking to you." Yan Li was as cold as ice. "The system of the Jin State has been suffering for a long time. It is time for the laws and regulations to be revised to restrain the arrogance of the men. Otherwise, if things continue like this, they will not even be able to see their own mothers. neither knows!"
"As the eldest princess just said, a woman's womb can accommodate both men and women in the world, but women have a humble status and mediocre abilities. They have no other use except to be attached to men." General Rong said coldly, "It is men who fight on the battlefield. It is men who govern the country and the world, and it is men who make suggestions. Even among the people, men are responsible for cultivating the fields and doing hard labor. Women are born to be vassals. Their duty is to care for their husbands, educate their children, and please men. These systems and rules have been passed down for hundreds of years. Why does the eldest princess change things just because she wants to?"
"Because women's mediocrity is all the result of men's suppression!" Yan Li turned to look at him, her voice colder than his, "As a woman, General Rong thinks that my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, or that my strategy is not as good as yours? Or, is it? I’m not as good at messing around as you are?”
General Rong couldn't help but said: "The eldest princess is an exception."
"Wrong!" Yan Li narrowed his eyes and said with a cold and threatening aura, "If a man can manage the house and bear children, a woman can still fight and rule the world!"
As soon as the words fell, the civil and military officials in the court were as quiet as chickens.
Women fight and govern the world, while men give birth to children?
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
General Rong's face turned red: "What the eldest princess said is completely unreasonable! It's nonsense and nonsense!"
"General Rong is not as good as me in terms of force, strategy, and reasoning skills." Yan Li smiled calmly, "So he can only get angry out of shame?"
"I……"
"If General Rong really believes that he is right and believes that women are inferior to men, why rush to refute my point of view? You can just let women have a try and see if there are any female generals in the world who can go to the battlefield and enter the court. female counselor?"
"What the eldest princess said is absolutely true." Prime Minister Ji once again supported Yan Li without hesitation, "The only thing that makes men stronger than women is physical strength, and it is not necessarily true in other aspects. After all, there are ready-made examples, the strongest in all nine states in the world A country is ruled by a female emperor. If a woman can manage the country in an orderly manner, how many men in the world can compare with her? "
General Rong's face turned green and white: "The Empress of the Southern Kingdom has been on the throne for less than three years. Is it appropriate for Prime Minister Ji to attribute the merits to her in such a grand manner?"
Prime Minister Ji said coldly: "General Rong has three mistakes in what he said. First, what the prime minister said was not to attribute all the prosperity of the Southern Kingdom to the empress, but to say that the Southern Kingdom's system is like this. Under the system of relative equality between men and women, the Southern Kingdom can The creation of prosperity is enough to prove that the emperors of all ages were wise and wise, and they definitely did not rely on suppressing women. "
"Secondly, although the Empress of the Southern Kingdom has been on the throne for less than three years, before she ascended the throne, she had led troops, suppressed rebellions, supervised the country, and served as regent. Her achievements praised by nine states in the world are not even half of the truth."
"Third, the true meaning of the truth is that men are stronger than women, but it does not mean that they are better than women in everything. There are countless men in the world who are stupid, stupid, lazy, selfish, and greedy, while women in the world are smart, decisive, brave, kind, There are countless hard-working people. If such stupid men think they are superior to women, it will be an eternal joke! "
General Rong was speechless by his words, his face turned red and his expression was embarrassed. He tried to refute several times but couldn't find a word to refute.
At this moment, a high-pitched announcement suddenly sounded outside: "Report! The disciple of the high priest of the South Kingdom has sent a document!"
Footsteps sounded, and a royal guard hurriedly came to the palace, holding a document and presenting it with both hands: "Your Majesty, Queen, and Chief Disciple of the High Priest of the Southern Kingdom, King Yu, presented the document, saying that he was sent as an envoy to the Jin Kingdom on the orders of the Empress and the High Priest of the Southern Kingdom. , now we are driving outside the imperial city, asking the emperor and the empress to make a decision!"
After the words fell, the civil and military officials in the court were all surprised.
"The chief disciple of the Southern Kingdom High Priest?"
"We have no contact with the Southern Kingdom. Why would the high priest's disciples go as envoys to the Jin Kingdom?"
Emperor Wen immediately said: "Send it up."
The imperial steward quickly walked down the palace steps, took the document and turned around to present it to the emperor for review.
Jiang Yi felt the same surprise. When he looked at Yan Li, he saw that she looked calm and calm. She was not surprised at all by the arrival of the envoy from the Southern Kingdom.
Yan Zheng and Yan Jin looked at Yan Li in unison, thinking of Yan Li's three thousand elite private soldiers for no reason.
One thousand of them were arranged by General Nan Guorong.
So Yan Li has been involved with Nanguo for a long time?
So the envoy from the Southern Kingdom came here for Yan Li?
"Prime Minister." The emperor immediately ordered after reading the document, "You and the officials from the Ministry of Rites will go out of the palace immediately to greet the envoys from the Southern Kingdom. There must be no mistake."
Prime Minister Ji received the order: "I obey the order."
"Xuan Nanfeng!"
Xuan Nanfeng hurriedly entered the hall and knelt down on one knee: "I'm here to do my job."
"When you lead someone to escort the Prime Minister, you must treat the envoys who come from afar with courtesy and protection, and ensure that nothing goes wrong on the way into the palace."
"I humble my duty and obey the decree."
Xuan Nanfeng took the order and left, starting to mobilize elite guards.
Prime Minister Ji and the Minister of Rites went to make arrangements to welcome the distinguished guests.
The ministers who stayed had different expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but guess in their hearts the reason why the envoys from the Southern Kingdom visited Jin.
"The high priest of the Southern Kingdom said in the document that the Jin Kingdom has auspicious signs." Emperor Wen spoke slowly, his voice calm and full of imperial coercion, "So they sent people here to make good relations with the Jin Kingdom."
