Chapter 100 Missing a Master
In the court
The atmosphere was solemn, with the ministers either whispering to each other or looking embarrassed.
At this time, memorials carrying the voices of the people flew to Emperor Kang Ren's desk like snowflakes. Every word and sentence was a recognition of Qin Zhichu's talent and a desire for women's rights.
Emperor Kang Ren frowned. He had never expected that the fate of a woman could affect the hearts of so many people.
Emperor Kang Ren spoke slowly, his tone gentle but with a dignity that could not be ignored: "My dear ministers, what are your opinions on this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Zhou took a step forward, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, a woman's first responsibility is to manage the household and raise children, and serve her parents-in-law. This is natural and has been the case since ancient times."
Prime Minister Wei was not willing to be left behind. He stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, throughout history, there has been no precedent for women to enter the political arena. This is stipulated by etiquette and law, and is what people want."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers echoed it. For a moment, the entire court was filled with voices of approval.
Emperor Kang Ren looked at Yuan Ying with a sharp gaze, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "My dear Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"
Yuan Ying stepped forward calmly and said, "Your Majesty, in my hometown, in ancient times women joined the army to replace their fathers, and now women go into battle to kill the enemy. Women's bravery and wisdom are no less than men. Why can't women serve as officials in the court?" Yuan Ying said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Court affairs concern the country and the people, how can we allow women to interfere at will?" Taifu Zhou retorted.
"Women's talents are just as good as men's. If they are rejected just because of their gender, wouldn't it be a waste of a lot of talent?" Yuan Ying argued.
Wei Ruchi said calmly, "I heard that a nursery rhyme appeared in the capital recently. I wonder if you adults have heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"The nursery rhyme goes: 'The Qin family has a daughter who is talented and ambitious. If she were not in the way, she would surely be able to keep the country safe and protect the people.'"
Murong Xuanyi said slowly. This is exactly what Yuan Ying did.
Yuan Ying then took over the conversation and praised: "Your Majesty, this is exactly her excellence, and that is why she is deeply loved and respected by the people."
Emperor Kang Ren fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighing every subtle thought.
Grand Tutor Zhou: "No matter how talented or outstanding that woman is, the crime of deceiving the emperor is irrefutable and proven as clear as a mountain."
Yuan Ying looked at Grand Tutor Zhou and said slowly, "Grand Tutor, throughout history, many heroes have been forced to do what they did because of circumstances. This woman has a sincere heart and seeks the welfare of the people. Her mistakes may be forgivable.
Furthermore, the wisdom and talent she has demonstrated are a blessing to the country and the people. Your Majesty, why don't you give her a chance to comfort the people and show your kindness and generosity?" Yuan Ying said earnestly.
The prince walked forward slowly, questioning in his tone, "Master Yuan, do you think that if the emperor does not forgive this woman, it will show that the emperor is unkind?"
When Emperor Kang Ren heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he was obviously unhappy.
Murong Xuanyi stepped forward and said, "Brother, Lord Yuan did not mean that. Father is wise and brave, and his benevolence is known to the world.
However, both forgiveness and severe punishment are ways to govern a country. The key lies in timing and target. This woman is very talented. If we can get her help, she will surely bring prosperity to the country. "
At this moment, Emperor Kang Ren was deeply confused and didn't know whose advice to follow.
At this time, Prince Rui walked out slowly, bowed and said: "Father, I dare to make a suggestion. In my opinion, you can spare her life to show your grace, but you must not let her enter the court and enter the official career.
This move can not only appease the people, but also demonstrate the inviolability and majesty of the imperial power."
When Emperor Kang Ren heard this, he was very pleased and nodded repeatedly, secretly approving in his heart: This is a very good plan, very much to my liking.
Emperor Kang Ren looked at everyone and slowly said, "Prince Rui is right. I am now passing on my will. Although Qin Zhichu, the former chief of the Dali Temple, has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, I have decided to be magnanimous and pardon him for his past meritorious service.
However, the law cannot be abolished, the official position must be removed, and from today on, he will never be employed as an official again as a punishment. "After saying this, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
Seeing this, Yuan Ying wanted to say something else, but Murong Xuanyi shook his head gently at her, indicating that there was no need to say more.
After leaving the palace, Yuan Ying sighed helplessly and said to Murong Xuanyi: "It's a pity that such a talented person cannot be used by the court."
Murong Xuanyi patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You are lucky to be able to save your life."
The two fell into deep contemplation. Yuan Ying was also a woman. Murong Xuanyi had originally had the vision of being honest with Emperor Kang Ren and asking for marriage, but at this moment, all this seemed out of reach.
Outside Yuan’s house.
A heroic woman stood outside the gate of the mansion, with a dignified temperament and steady steps. She walked slowly forward, her voice clear and powerful: "Please inform the Prime Minister that Qin Zhichu came to ask for an audience. I hope you can grant me a meeting."
Upon hearing this, the guards sent one of them hurriedly into the mansion, leaving the others to examine the uninvited guest.
Not long after, the guard hurried back, his expression showing a bit of awe and haste: "Miss Qin, Lord Yuan wants to see you, please follow me."
Qin Zhi first entered Yuan's house, and every step she took seemed steady and resolute. She had mixed feelings in her heart, both uneasiness about her unknown fate and deep gratitude towards Yuan Ying. After passing through the winding corridor, she came to the hall.
When Yuan Ying saw Qin Zhichu coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him.
Qin Zhichu stepped forward, bowed, and spoke sincerely: "Qin Zhichu thanks the Prime Minister for saving her life!" Her heart was filled with gratitude.
She learned from Lord Wei that she was able to regain her freedom thanks to the help of Lord Prime Minister. Lord Prime Minister was truly both wise and brave, and he was able to skillfully use the people's hearts to rescue her from danger. His wisdom and strategy really made her admire him.
Yuan Ying quickly helped Qin Zhichu up and said gently, "Miss Qin, there is no need to be so polite. I just did my best."
Yuan Ying asked casually, "Miss Qin, what are your plans for the future?"
Qin Zhichu's words revealed a hint of homesickness and relief. She sighed softly, as if saying goodbye to her past self: "Maybe it's time to embark on the journey back home. That's good! I'll have a chance to accompany my parents in the future."
Yuan Ying looked at Qin Zhichu and said, "Although Miss Qin cannot be an official, she can still plead for the people."
Qin Zhichu was stunned for a moment: "I wonder what the Prime Minister means?"
Yuan Ying smiled slightly, his eyes full of expectation and trust: "I want to establish an academy so that women can learn to read and write, so that they can touch the light of knowledge and rewrite their own destiny. But I lack a teacher with both virtue and talent. I wonder if Miss Qin is willing to take on this important task?"
Qin Zhichu was surprised when she heard this. She wondered what the deep meaning behind Mr. Yuan's action was. But this confusion was soon replaced by deep emotion.
She stared at Yuan Ying with bright eyes and said sincerely: "The Prime Minister has a broad mind and foresight, and is truly a role model for us. Although I am not talented, I am willing to become a beacon of knowledge and do my best to illuminate the hearts of those who are thirsty for knowledge.
Let women fly freely in the vast sea of books, using wisdom as wings, and win a broad sky for themselves in the world. "
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying smiled approvingly: "Miss Qin has such an ambition, which is a blessing for the country and the people. I'll leave the affairs of the academy to Miss Qin."
The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen those thirsty girls in the future academy, using their wisdom and courage to write their own glorious chapters.
