Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Shen Xingxi and Mo Hongyun returned to the bedroom and took a bath first to remove the smell of blood on their bodies.

But the smell can be removed, but the scene in my mind cannot be removed. Shen Xingxi was silent for a moment and said, "In the imperial examination class of the Women's College, a female student gave me a book she wrote in ten days. There are several ideas in it that I agree with, all about how to make women rise.

She said she would definitely pass the imperial examination and meet me again, but her father and brother were on the death list this time, so she would never be able to take the imperial examination again.

For the country, her absence is of no consequence. I cannot risk letting her serve in the court, nor can I break the rules, but I still feel sad in my heart."

Mo Hongyun sighed and put Xingxi's hand on his chest muscle: "If you feel uncomfortable, just vent to me, okay? I like you to be violent to me, just don't think about these troubles.

If you want to help women rise up, the imperial examination is one way, but it is not the only way. If you teach them to love themselves, you should believe that they can figure it out. "

Shen Xingxi pinched his chest muscles, leaned over and took a sip, and smiled faintly, "Forget it, I have no regrets anyway."

She left a circle of teeth marks, looked at the gorgeous color on her fair skin, and said with a sigh: "I suddenly envy your father a little bit, he is obsessed with beauty and doesn't have to worry about anything."

Mo Hongyun chuckled softly, "It's my honor to hear Xingxi say this."

His ears flushed as he thrust his chest forward, and he said jokingly, "So tempting?"

Shen Xingxi took another bite and smacked her lips. "Next time, I'll pour some milk on it. It should taste different."

The blush on Mo Hongyun's ears spread to his neck. He pretended to be calm and said, "Wouldn't it be better to use a whip soaked in milk?"

Shen Xingxi raised her eyebrows in surprise, looking at his shy expression, finding it hard to believe that it was Mo Hongyun who said this.

He chuckled, "I'll grant your wish next time. Now, follow me to a place."

There was a dungeon in the palace with several rooms where prisoners were held in solitary confinement.

When Shen Xingxi opened the door, he saw the envoy from Dongliang Kingdom sitting inside, looking listless.

Mo Hongyun was surprised, "Your Majesty, why are they here?"

At first, Dongliang Kingdom did not agree to Fengchao Kingdom's conditions, and the envoy promised to return to the country to personally persuade the emperor, but he failed.

Half a year ago, Dongliang and Fengchao were at war. This is one of the reasons why these ministers dared to enter the palace and kill the king today. They knew that General Shen Shuang was sent to the front line to defend against the enemy.

"Back then, I let them go and had Shen Shuang secretly capture them in the border of Dongliang State and sent someone to bring them back. I said I needed this battle."

Mo Hongyun pursed his lips and could only give a thumbs up.

When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys, and each country maintains superficial rules.

He heard that these envoys fell seriously ill after returning to their country, resigned from their official positions, and lived in seclusion from then on. He thought that Xingxi must have sent people to impersonate them.

"Then why did you save their lives?" Mo Hongyun asked.

Shen Xingxi smiled and said, "It's time for them to return home. The war should be over."

The Dongliang envoys in the room heard the conversation between the two and bowed, saying: "We will live up to the expectations of the king of Feng Dynasty and make Dongliang a vassal state of Feng Dynasty."

They had been hearing reports of battles these days, where cannons broke through the city gates in an instant, leaving the civilians unharmed, but countless soldiers were killed or wounded.

They also heard that their generals used Dongliang women as bait and had them stand at the city gate to block the Feng Dynasty army.

The generals of Fengchao were concerned and did not want to harm innocent women, but their soldiers fired rockets without hesitation, regardless of the life or death of the women of Dongliang.

Thinking about the fact that Feng Dynasty was becoming rich and powerful because of the rise of women, they made an agreement with the Emperor of Feng Dynasty.

The Emperor of Feng Dynasty protected their families and allowed women to engage in business and take the imperial examinations in Feng Dynasty. They made their country a vassal state of Feng Dynasty.

Of course, the premise of their help is that they will confirm the authenticity of the battle report as soon as possible after returning home.

Mo Hongyun learned the whole story from the envoy and asked in surprise, "Can you accept the rise of women?"

The leading envoy smiled and said, "I was raised by my mother alone. She only slept two hours a day to support my studies. Also, because women could not do business alone, my mother suffered a lot.

Lord Zhengjun, do you think that if I had not had this experience, your emperor would let me go?"

Mo Hongyun tilted his head and looked at Xingxi, "If I hadn't been raised by my mother with so much hardship, would you have let me go?"

Shen Xingxi took his hand and walked out, telling him: "Most mothers in this world are great, but their minds, shaped by the environment, may be more biased towards men. The key lies in whether they know how to be grateful."

Mo Hongyun curled his lips: "Xingxi is saying that she likes me because of my good character?"

Shen Xingxi held his hand tightly: "Well, I want to have that kind of thing after I see it."

System: [Host, let me tell you quietly, fireworks are blooming in Mo Hongyun's heart. ]

【Ha ha ha ha……】

Mo Hongyun muttered in his heart: "Can't you just tell Xingxi quietly?"

The system burst into laughter.

News of victory came from the front, and Dongliang State volunteered to become a vassal state of Feng Dynasty.

Shen Xingxi sent Master Zhao and Shen Shuang to Dongliang to take charge.

Scholar Zhao personally trained the envoy's daughter, and within five years the envoy's daughter became the queen. She followed Shen Xingxi's path and killed her husband to ascend the throne.

The Dongliang Kingdom also allowed women to engage in business, take the imperial examinations, and set up women's colleges.

And Shen Xingxi also waited for the first time to express students' dissatisfaction with the imperial power.

Previously, Shen Xingxi followed the agreement with the students of the Women's College and promulgated a law prohibiting parents from arranging marriages without their children's consent. This has caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Over the years, she has issued:

Maintenance obligations: Sons must support their elderly parents and a minimum maintenance payment is stipulated.

It also stipulates that if parents designate their daughter to support them, a certain amount of property must be allocated to the daughter.

Change the imperial examination system: Students with certain special talents or who have made contributions to the country, if they rank in the top ten in the provincial examination, can take part in the metropolitan examination, and the top 130 in the metropolitan examination can enter the court and become officials.

Establish a women's mutual aid organization: put an end to domestic violence, reject appearance shame, body shame, menstrual shame...

The leader of the riot was a young man who was sued by his parents for not paying alimony. He gathered a group of people like him to resist the imperial power.

The Prime Minister looked at the Emperor with a sad face, "Your Majesty, the students have been incited, and they recite every day: the so-called uniform punishment means there is no hierarchy in punishment. People of equal status do not speak, and the level does not flow. Justice and equality are the foundation of the country."

"Then abolish slavery and replace it with a mercenary system. I will not have the right to decide a person's life or death. Everything must be done according to the law.

Those who have signed a contract to sell themselves can regain their freedom by returning the money they earned from selling themselves to the owner. "

She looked at the Prime Minister and wanted to say something, then smiled and said, "Prime Minister, I have finally waited for this day."

The prime minister did not dissuade him anymore. In fact, the emperor had always obeyed the law and considered the people over the years. Even the palace maids had long since returned their indentures and the eunuchs no longer existed.

Therefore, the Inspectorate became the Supervisory Bureau, which monitored whether all officials were pleading for the people and whether all officials were abusing their power for personal gain. The people had the right to go to the streets, but no one had the right to deprive their lives at will.

The world is developing rapidly and people are getting older day by day.

Before his death, Lord Zhao returned to his homeland, his old face full of worry: "Your Majesty, I have always been worried, I hope you can solve my doubts?"

"You say." Shen Xingxi lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his eyes.

Lord Zhao: "Your Majesty, the population is gradually decreasing. I am worried that women will be less and less willing to have children. If the enemy country also develops cannons in the future, our country will not be able to stop it."

Shen Xingxi held her hand tightly, "Master Zhao, do you believe it or not, if I send a letter of plea, many women will not hesitate to find a man to give birth to their children?

Women are always as patriotic as men.

When the country needs them, they will stand up!

Of course, the country will not let their efforts go to waste.

Isn’t it because women today don’t want to have children that they haven’t found someone who knows how to respect them?

At present, the country's population is not in great crisis, so I hope to see them shine in their respective fields, unrestrained and free. I will continue to let the Ministry of Industry develop weapons. Don't worry, our Feng Dynasty will not lose another battle. "

Lord Zhao closed his eyes with relief, while Zhao Da beside him cried heart-wrenchingly.

Shen Xingxi left the room and looked at Mo Hongyun, "Yunyun, I will be fifty next year, it's time to find a successor."

"Who does Xingxi want to find?"

"The local inspection bureaus will collect opinions from the people and select the 20 with the highest votes. Then officials above the seventh rank will vote. I can only take the lead. The rest of the story in this world will be written by future generations!"

Mo Hongyun hugged Xingxi and asked, "What do you want to do by handing over your power?"

Shen Xingxi curled her lips, "Standing on every mountain with you, I will tell girls in golden letters: Gender should be defined by us, and loving yourself is the way to go!"
