Chapter 1035: Singing the opposite tune (1st update)
Author: Moon Meow
Yuan Suijun returned to the capital this time. He changed his low-key style in the past and put out the prince's honor guard. Anyone who is not blind can guess his identity.
His high-profile return also announced to everyone that the so-called serious illness some time ago was a joint show by him and the emperor. He is in good health and can even go to Dingnanzhou to accompany his wife on official business.
, the life was very comfortable.
Many ministers who wanted to pull him down secretly gnashed their teeth. They were happy in vain some time ago and gave the Buddha so much money for perfume. All of them were actually tricked by the emperor and this family.
No wonder the eldest princess in the palace could still sit still and even gave it to Princess Wei who was far away in Dingnan Prefecture. They thought at the time that the eldest princess wanted to please her daughter-in-law.
With the return of Yuan Suijun, the originally turbulent capital suddenly calmed down again. The big families competed with each other to be obedient, with the words "We are very peaceful" written all over their faces. You can't be restless.
The new emperor's methods were much more ruthless than those of the previous emperor. During this period, countless families were raided, and many important officials of the imperial court were thrown into prison. But the day after they were arrested and stripped of their hats, the property that originally belonged to them
The position was immediately replaced by a new official.
It can be seen that the emperor had a ledger in his heart, and he had been waiting for the liquidator to put his confidants on it. Yu Yang and other ministers just jumped into the pit dug by the emperor.
Fraud in the imperial examinations... this matter touched the hearts of the people all over the world and was the rebellion of the scholars. The ministers who personally planned this matter were all ruined and reviled by the world.
After the results of the Dingnan Prefecture County Examination came out, the ministers had nothing to say.
In the face of achievements, how can they continue to say that women are inherently less talented than men as they did before? If they continue to belittle them, they will only make others laugh.
They can all guess what those people will say.
[You men don’t have to do housework and spend more time studying than women. Why are there so many women in the county this time?]
[If you can’t even win the exam as a woman, you are so useless.]
At this time, they suddenly remembered that Princess Wei had opened a girls' school for more than ten years. Over the years, because of Princess Wei's reputation and holy status, everyone thought that she was just using girls' schools to build her reputation when she was idle, and wanted to educate people.
It was also a good thing for the people, and it was better than her interfering in political affairs, so no one objected to this matter. Only now did they realize that these female students had unknowingly nurtured the ambitions in women's hearts and paved the way for women to take the imperial examination.
Thinking of having to go to court with women in the future and having to share the power in their hands with them, they felt very aggrieved and uncomfortable.
However, if you continue to object at this time, it will be irreversible. What will happen to Yu Yang and other ministers? These ministers really do not dare to make unnecessary small moves.
They just despise it secretly in their hearts.
Whether it was Su Yueling who was the instigator, or Yuan Suijun and the emperor who were accomplices, they would all be infamy sooner or later.
They didn't even dare to express this idea in front of others and had to pretend to agree.
So after returning home, I could only vent the anger that was stuck in my chest on the younger members of my family.
"Study hard. In the future, your opponents will not only be men, but also women. If you can't even pass the exam for women, don't say you are a child of our family."
Su Yueling, who was far away in Dingnan Prefecture, couldn't help but yawn.
Her nose was slightly wrinkled, and she had been sneezing recently. Thinking of her recent county test results, many people were probably scolding her behind her back.
Su Yueling snorted. Sooner or later, those pedantic concepts will become garbage and be swept into the corner of history.
Well, she doesn't mind doing something that makes them even more unhappy. Su Yueling just likes to go against certain people and say no to them!
Well, the prefectural examination will start in April, which means that they all have to go to the examination center in the state capital. Going to the state capital also requires money, and they have to book a hotel in advance.
Su Yueling also has a house in the state capital. But her house can't accommodate so many female candidates. It doesn't matter. If the house is not enough, just buy some more and renovate it a little. For Su Yueling, this little money is not enough.
Just drizzle.
So she ordered, "We will count the female students in each county who plan to take the prefectural exam. We will gather in each county one week before the prefectural exam and send them to the state capital. I will provide them with three meals and a place to live." Well,
If she prepares all meals and accommodation, it will also reduce the chance of being manipulated. At that time, each house can also be assigned a few female doctors. If someone has a headache or fever, they can also see a doctor as soon as possible.
The people below will go take care of this immediately.
…
Qi family.
After Qi Juan's eldest aunt Wang heard the news, she couldn't help chanting Buddha there, "Princess is such a good person, she is so considerate of you."
Their family originally planned to let the head of the house accompany Juaner to Fucheng half a month in advance and rent a small yard. Although it would cost more money, it would be more stable than staying in an inn. Nowadays, princesses have arranged it like this
It's fine, and their family doesn't need to worry.
Qi Juan nodded and said to her eldest aunt: "I want to take out twenty acres of the land that the princess gave me, and use the annual income from the land to study with my younger brothers and sisters at home. No matter how good the reading is, you have to be able to read the words.
It's all right, and you can settle accounts so you won't be fooled."
In addition to the four treasures of the study, the gifts given by the princess some time ago also included fifty acres of land. Qi Juan's parents died young, and it was her uncle's family who raised her. They also supported her to study in school and ended her marriage to the Hai family.
Her younger brothers and sisters are also pretty good, and they treat her as a biological sister, so Qi Juan is naturally willing to help the family.
Mrs. Wang was stunned and said, "That's twenty acres of land." She can earn about ten taels of land every year. Her niece is really generous.
Qi Juan said: "We are originally a family."
Wang's heart was filled with excitement and joy, and she also had the urge to show off - seeing how filial Juan'er was to them, it was obvious that she regarded them as her parents in her heart. She had been treating her well all these years in vain.
It can be seen that people will be rewarded for doing good deeds. Her family members now say that she is smart and raised her niece well.
…
In the prison of the capital.
Yu Yang and other ministers were imprisoned in a cell. They have been in the cell for a month, and their punishment is said to be coming in the next few days. The only thing they can do during this time is to hope that their relatives and friends can
They would rather move around for a while, and they would rather be exiled for three thousand miles than be beheaded after the fall. If they are exiled, as long as they take good care of their homes, they can still save their lives. If the emperor is to grant amnesty to the world, maybe there will be more
A chance to come back.
What makes Yu Yang particularly depressed is that his good wife has not come to see him in the cell during this period. He eats rotten food every day and lives a life that feels like years.
"Mrs. Guan, please come this way."
Yu Yang, who was autistic, suddenly heard the voice of the jailer. Mrs. Guan? This surname is not common in the capital, could it be his wife?
He raised his head, and a familiar figure jumped into his sight.
Mr. Guan was wearing simple and elegant silk and satin, with a simple gold hairpin in his hair, and his face was rosy. It was obvious that he had a very good time during this time.
Wait? She looks even fatter than before the house raid. The clothes around her waist look a bit tight.
