On the second day of the court session, Xia Jinxian repeated what Yuan Junyao had said yesterday. As expected, all the civil and military officials reacted strongly and voiced opposition.
But today Shen Shaoyu and Yuan Junyao still did not come to court.
How could Xia Jinxian, an emperor who had just ascended the throne for a few days, withstand the constant barrage of arguments from these old ministers?
They are always talking about rules and regulations, saying that it has been this way since ancient times.
"The Regent has arrived—"
"The Princess Regent has arrived—"
The ministers who had just been excitedly opposing suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to speak anymore.
"Greetings to the Regent, greetings to the Princess. Long live the Prince, long live the Princess."
The couple walked side by side, slowly walked to their own seats and sat down.
After Shen Shaoyu sat down, he did not ask for permission to bow, so all the civil and military officials had to kneel.
Yuan Junyao said calmly, "I heard everyone's excited voices outside the palace. What the emperor said was my suggestion. If anyone has any objections, please tell me."
The entire Golden Palace was silent without a sound.
Yuan Junyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. It seems that everyone is satisfied with my proposal. It can be said that your mother deserved the credit for giving birth to you."
She glanced at Shen Shaoyu, and Shen Shaoyu said, "No need to be polite."
Only then did all the civil and military officials stand up one after another.
Civil and military officials were obviously more afraid of this couple. Xia Jinxian, the newly appointed emperor, had no deterrent power at all.
But he now has to rely on this couple, so he has nothing to say.
He was able to ascend to the throne thanks to the support of this couple.
"If you have any objections to the Emperor's proposal, please raise them. Otherwise, it will be too late when it is implemented later."
The court was still silent.
Seeing this, Xia Jinxian said, "In that case, I will issue an order."
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.
"Your Majesty, I think this is unreasonable."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
When someone brings it up, someone else cautiously agrees.
Yuan Junyao curled her lips slightly and said in a cold voice, "Very good, Your Majesty, I propose that these unfilial people be caned."
Xia Jinxian looked at her doubtfully. He didn't understand what this had to do with being unfilial.
The officials also didn't understand.
Yuan Junyao said calmly, "No one present here should have come out of a crack in the rock. Born under a woman's crotch, yet looking down on women, exploiting women, and belittling women, isn't this unfilial? Isn't this also looking down on yourself?
A useful person shouldn't gain status by degrading women. Don't you have a mother at home? Don't you have a wife?
You also have a daughter, so wouldn't this also be beneficial to your daughter? It would provide her with more security when she gets married in the future."
Among those present were filial men, men who loved their wives, and men who doted on their daughters.
Of course, there are also those who stick to their own opinions and are stubborn.
But no one dared to speak now.
Because speaking is unfilial, and filial piety is the most important thing, and this will never change.
The crime of being unfilial is a serious one.
Yuan Junyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, it seems everyone really has no objections now."
However, although no one in the court opposed it for the time being, there would definitely be officials who would submit memorials of opposition in private.
Without cooperation, it will be difficult to implement.
Therefore, Yuan Junyao asked the emperor to post a notice first to announce it to the world.
This is to let all women know about this matter so that they can control their own men. And more importantly, they must support her decision.
But many men could not sit still, especially those scholars, and countless words and poems criticizing Yuan Junyao were flying around.
Yuan Junyao did not ignore it, but just said, let all those men die, and if you have the guts, don't eat from next year onwards.
Because she was the one who made sure everyone had enough to eat, how could they have the nerve to eat?
Yuan Junyao was also not idle. She opened the first girls' college, which accepted girls under the age of thirteen and over the age of five to attend school free of charge.
He also asked Xia Jinxian to order every local official to cooperate in opening a women's college.
Considering that many families would not let their girls go to school even if it was free.
So Yuan Junyao made another rule.
Families who send their daughters to college can enjoy a 30% discount on rice seeds that will increase rice production next year.
Her proposal was supported by many ladies from prominent families, and Nukangtang did bring convenience to many women.
This includes all the noble ladies and daughters. The medical skills of Yaowang Valley are of course impeccable.
Leng Qinghe rested for half a month, and then he couldn't sit still and went to Nukangtang.
During the half month of recuperation, she devoted herself to studying medical books and researching the research on penicillin that Yuan Junyao gave her.
If you have something to do, you will naturally forget the sadness.
She didn't say she wanted to go home again, but just wrote a letter back to Jiangnan to explain the matter.
She and Yuan Junyao are both working hard to create a better living environment for women.
After the women's college opened, many poor families sent their daughters there first because of Yuan Junyao's later provision.
The lack of a teacher is not enough. Yuan Junyao hopes that a literate daughter will take the initiative to step forward.
This matter also requires Xia Jinxian's cooperation. As long as she becomes a female teacher in a women's college, she will be given a certain title, which represents honor.
You can be independent, receive a salary, and don't have to rely on your parents' or husband's family for the rest of your life.
So many daughters of famous families stood up.
In the future, these women who graduate from women's colleges will be assigned to teach in women's colleges in various places.
They can also receive salaries and honors from the court.
After the Women's College, Leng Qinghe opened a Women's Medical College.
She researched for four or five years before developing penicillin, which was another major breakthrough that would save countless lives.
Of course, these are all things to follow.
Leng Qinghe and Yuan Junyao have long become role models for all women.
The achievements and contributions they have made are beyond the reach of many men.
The regent Shen Shaoyu was also not idle. Handling state affairs was secondary. Most of the time he had to teach the emperor.
Because of Gu Kui's incident and the exposure of Prince Huai's wife's affair, Southern Xinjiang sent troops to invade without caring about Gu Kui's life or death. Shen Shaoyu had to lead his troops to fight again before he could even take the imperial examination.
It doesn’t matter whether he takes part in the scientific examination or not now.
The couple are busy with their own things.
Yuan Junyao stayed in Wanku Mountain all day.
Occasionally fly to see Shen Shaoyu and bring them some supplies.
Nanjiang is simply overestimating its own capabilities and is no match for Shen Shaoyu at all, not to mention the existence of Yuan Junyao, who is so powerful.
Yuan Junyao had nothing to do, so she would occasionally harass the national treasury and granaries in southern Xinjiang.
This war was naturally won easily.
But time also passed quickly, and the couple had no time to spend together for years.
Yuan Junyao remembered the date of Yuan Junling and Hu Changgeng's wedding, so she should be able to rush back by now.
My family would naturally be unhappy if I didn't go back for the New Year, but fortunately Yuan Junyao sent several letters back home, and they understood.
With fewer people coveting their wealth, the family naturally lived a prosperous life.
The emperor also knew how to take care of her, after all, she had suffered a lot of grievances before.
The entire prefecture, town, and village were all taken care of.
Everyone knows that Yuan Junyao is a court official, the regent princess, and a princess.
