After personally seeing off the three legends of the Chen Kingdom, Emperor Chen returned to the imperial study, sat back in his seat, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In terms of qualifications and military exploits, although these three are women, they are not inferior to any of the old generals in the general sect. The three of them are one of the few remaining people who have made great achievements in the previous era.
In order to keep the enemy out of the pass, all the loyal members of the Yang family died on the battlefield, leaving them alone, unmarried and loyal to the family. For people like this, no matter how great the honor given to them by the court is, they will not be too much.
They are real heroines. Even if he is the emperor, he will not ignore the feelings of these people unless he wants to be poked in the back by the world.
However, this was contrary to his original intention. Emperor Chen picked up a memorial and said a little depressed: "These women, if they don't embroider at home, they have to go to the battlefield to do something. The sword has no eyes. They think the battlefield is fun."
?"
Wei Jian stood behind him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty should be happy. The men in the generals are not afraid of death, and the women are not afraid of women. The people send their strong men into the army. Chen Guo is united, no matter how strong it is."
Isn’t it a good thing that even enemies can be defeated?”
"What you said makes sense." Emperor Chen nodded and said with some relief: "If the whole country can unite as one, why should we be afraid of the grasslands and the Western Regions?"
He looked at Wei Jian and said: "In this case, we might as well set up a separate martial arts competition for women. The candidates are not limited to generals. Anyone with a clean family can take the exam. In this way, no one will say that I am biased towards generals."
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise..."
…
"True fragrance" is indeed one of the three major essences of human beings. Yesterday, Emperor Chen also stated firmly that women in the Chen Kingdom would not be allowed to go to the battlefield until men die. Today, he ordered King Huai to set up a separate martial arts competition for women and supervise it as soon as possible.
.
It may be rare in other places for women to serve as generals on the battlefield, but there is a precedent for this in Chen State.
Decades ago, when the Chen Kingdom was invaded by foreign enemies and almost destroyed, these heroines stood up and dedicated their youth and blood to save the situation. Since then, the status of women in the capital, especially those in generals, has greatly improved.
Amplitude increase.
This is also the reason why there are still witches like Tang Shui and Lu Ya in the capital when the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is still the mainstream.
Who dares to look down on a female general will be stabbed in the spine by everyone. Without the female generals of the previous generation who shed their blood, how could they have the stability they enjoy now?
To this day, folk dramas about "female generals" still exist, and the image of the heroine frequently appears in popular literary and artistic works in the market. This is a unique feature of Chen Guo.
Although Chen Huang had character flaws, he was still qualified and open-minded to be an emperor.
The State of Chen had female generals before, but this was the first time that women were allowed to compete in martial arts. This matter would definitely be criticized by the corrupt people among the people. It is impossible for him not to have considered this issue when he made this decree.
However, no matter how many people criticize it, it is impossible to take back this kind of imperial edict that is announced to the world. In other words, Lu Ya can fight side by side with Xiao Jue in at most half a year, which can be regarded as achieving her wish.
Tang Ning mourned for King Huai for a moment in her heart. Women's martial arts examinations had never happened before. There was no precedent to follow or learn from. Everything had to be started from scratch. He had to be responsible for the martial arts examinations and supervise the literary examinations. Suddenly, something happened again.
After this extra errand - after this incident, he will probably have a deep understanding that it is better to just be a salted fish who doesn't have to worry about anything and doesn't have to do anything.
The first round of the martial arts examination is almost over. In this round alone, most of the candidates will be eliminated. In each subsequent round, the time will be greatly shortened.
Fortunately, Emperor Chen didn't let him take responsibility for the martial arts examination. Tang Ning only had to come over every day, brush her face, and clock in on time to go home.
"Lord Tang, stay." On the last day of the martial arts competition, Tang Ning had just walked out of the Xiaoqi camp when a voice came from behind.
Tangning turned around, looked at King Huai who was walking over, and asked, "What else does your Highness have to do?"
King Huai looked at him and asked with a smile: "Master Tang, are you busy lately?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "It's okay, not too busy."
"It's good if you're not busy." King Huai smiled and said, "I have to be responsible for both the martial arts and civil examinations. Yesterday, my father was in charge of organizing the women's martial arts exam. However, I only have two hands and I am too busy.
Why don't we leave this matter of this woman's martial arts to Mr. Tang?"
Tangning rubbed her ears and asked, "What did Your Highness just say?"
King Huai repeated: "About women's martial arts..."
Tangning shook her head and said, "It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence."
King Huai thought for a while and said, "Master Tang has been busy recently..."
"Busy, very busy." Before King Huai could finish, Tang Ning waved her hands and said, "Things with the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Xiaoqi Camp, plus the martial arts exams, I'm so busy that I even have dinner with my wife.
There is no time, His Highness should find someone else..."
He was about to leave when King Huai grabbed his sleeve. King Huai looked at him and said, "Master Tang, I don't want to think about it anymore. There are many beautiful women among the generals..."
Tangning asked in surprise: "Your Highness, what does this mean?"
King Huai said: "Master Tang, aren't you planning to find the fifth and sixth ladies among them?"
What King Huai said is too much. Is he, the dignified General Zuo Xiaowei, such a casual person?
Tangning looked at him and counterattacked: "So it's the best thing for Your Highness to do. Your Highness has been married for so long and doesn't have a son or a half. Why don't you consider having some concubines?"
King Huai looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Tang has four wives, right?"
"------"
The reason Tang Ning doesn't have children is because he won't be able to stay in Chen Country for long, and Xiao Ru Xiaoyi and the others are too young, so he has no plans to do so until they settle down.
King Huai was different. He had been married for so many years and still had no children. Maybe it was just because he was not good enough.
"My father has given me the full authority to take charge of military affairs." King Huai looked at him and said, "This is an order."
This salted fish actually used power to suppress others. Tangning looked at him and said angrily: "You..."
King Huai raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
Tang Ning took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness really has something to hide, you might as well tell him straight away. I can cure Young Master Xiao even if he can't harden himself. If His Highness Prince Huai can't give birth to a son, maybe there is a way..."
A passing captain stopped and asked in surprise: "His Royal Highness, King Huai, can't give birth to a son?"
…
At the same time, the news that Tang Ning was responsible for the women's martial arts competition and that King Huai could not give birth to a son spread in the Xiaoqi camp.
Tang Ning was naturally depressed because she had a troublesome thing that didn't belong to her for no reason. When she walked home, Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Xiao came over. Tang Yaojing looked at him and asked, "I heard that women can also take martial arts exams."
No. 1?"
Tangning looked at her expectant look and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Tang Yaoyao said: "I want to play!"
Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, I want to go too."
Tang Ning was worried about this matter. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Martial arts is not for you to play, so don't make trouble."
Tang Yaoyao frowned, looked at him, and said, "If you don't let us play, don't sleep with me in the future."
…
Tang Yaoyao had already threatened her with this, so Tang Ning had no choice but to agree.
I don’t know which unscrupulous guy made the suggestion to Emperor Chen. He was clearly worried that the world would not be in chaos...
Princess Anyang, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared in front of him and asked: "How about it? I have more ideas than you, right?"
Tangning glanced at her and asked, "What can I do?"
Princess Anyang said with some pride: "It was only after I asked several old generals to go to the palace to persuade Your Majesty that Your Majesty agreed to establish a women's martial arts competition..."
Tangning looked at her and said suddenly, "So you are the one who is lacking..."
Princess Anyang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is missing?"
