Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces
Chapter 105: The "Cannon Fodder" General Disguised as a Man (End)
Concubine Hu turned to look at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Everyone understood that Concubine Hu was also favoring Sui Ning!
At this time, Song Jin took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Father, I think we should take this opportunity to lift the restrictions on women serving as officials."
"Half of the people in Daxia are women, and there are many talented people among them. If we can find a virtuous one among them, we can recruit a lot of talents for Daxia!"
In fact, he had made such suggestions a long time ago.
Women are no less talented than men.
Sometimes, men are not as meticulous as women, and they often consider things more comprehensively than men.
However, most of the court officials were pedantic. Although Song Mu wanted to support his approach, the policy was extremely difficult to implement, so he had to give up.
Maybe today can be an opportunity!
After hearing Song Jin's suggestion, Sui Ning immediately followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. I beg Your Majesty to give the women of Daxia a chance to showcase their talents and realize their ambitions!"
The focus of the issue shifted, and the ministers began to discuss it in a tense manner again.
A dozen people led by Song Jin and Qin Zheng thought it was feasible, while most others remained opposed.
At this time, a lady from a famous family suddenly walked up from her seat and knelt behind Sui Ning.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!" the prime minister immediately scolded.
She ignored the Prime Minister and looked at Song Mu and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I am Lin Yingnuo, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I dare to speak up!"
The prime minister was immediately furious, but his daughter would not listen to him, so he could only apologize to Song Mu repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I have been taught by my parents since I was young. I have learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, singing and dancing at home, but I don't like it at all."
"This humble servant enjoys martial arts, wielding swords and spears, and longs to achieve great things like my brother, but my parents won't allow it."
"Besides, I am no worse than my brother, so I have never understood why men can do what women cannot, even though we are both human beings?!"
Hearing this, some people looked at Lin Yingnuo's brother, and sure enough, they saw that his face was flushed with shame and he looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Yingnuo kowtowed heavily and spoke out her request in a loud voice, "Today, I beg Your Majesty, please give us a chance. We will not let you down!"
The Prime Minister was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't show it because of the situation. However, Lin Yingnuo pretended not to see it.
Just as the censor was about to speak, another cold female voice rang out in the hall, "Your Majesty, I am Jiang Wan, the daughter of Grand Tutor Jiang. Please listen to what I have to say!"
Jiang Wan knelt beside Lin Yingnuo, with a straight posture, neither humble nor arrogant, and elaborated on her views and suggestions on women serving as officials.
His words, deeds, conversation and cultural background not only won the emperor's praise, but also made the great scholars who had been immersed in the court for many years begin to look at him with admiration.
The dispute, which was originally at a stalemate, became clearer after Lin Yingnuo and Jiang Wan joined in.
Finally, after both sides argued, Song Mu decided on the spot to set up an arena in the palace three days later for a competition between men and women.
It covers various fields such as etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, mathematics, etc. All young daughters of noble families, sons of rich families and officials can participate.
Just like that, a small celebration banquet caused a huge uproar and directly changed the future development direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After this banquet, the women in the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty became more united than ever before.
In just three days, the news spread and the women's group led by Sui Ning gathered all the talented women they could think of, waiting for the competition to begin.
The three-day deadline arrived as promised.
The duel between men and women is a novel competition system that has never been seen before.
Moreover, this competition was of great importance, so all the nobles including the emperor came and the seats were packed.
The first competition to begin was the horse-riding and archery competition.
There were very few women in the team who were good at riding and shooting, and they were usually trapped in the inner chambers and had little contact with each other, so they were defeated.
The men's team was very proud of winning the first competition, and some people even said things like "women are not as good as men".
This also made the women's team very annoyed, so that everyone worked hard in the subsequent competitions as if they had been injected with chicken blood to prove their strength.
Next is the martial arts competition arena.
There are indeed several talented martial artists in the women's team, and they have given many surprises in the competition.
Among them, Lin Yingnuo even waved a big sword in his hand and directly eliminated the six generals of the men's group!
At the end of the competition, Sui Ning and Qin Zheng had a final showdown, and there was no doubt that the women's team won.
Compared with the martial arts arena, the next poetry and calligraphy arena was a different way of fighting each other.
The two sides engaged in a heated debate, citing classics and neither side gave in.
The most exciting part was that this year's new top scholar was finally pressed step by step by Jiang Wan, his face turned red and he could not utter a word.
Women's team wins!
After two consecutive victories, the minds of all the women on and off the court were aroused, and an unprecedented passion and sense of honor arose spontaneously.
What was unexpected was that in the subsequent mathematics competition, the women's team won in the end!
At one point, the men's team began to doubt their lives.
But what they don’t know is that all the ladies from noble families will be taught how to manage household chores by their families before they get married.
This includes math!
After a day, the intense competition finally came to an end.
After statistics, in the ring competition, the women's team won by a narrow margin by only winning one more game than the men's team!
As soon as the news came out, the women's team cheered and some even cried with joy.
At this moment, they all threw off the constraints of their status as noble ladies and expressed their true feelings.
A duel between a man and a woman that was enough to be recorded in history came to an end, and what followed was that the Great Xia Dynasty lifted the restrictions on women holding official positions.
In the first year after the restrictions were lifted, Lin Yingnuo and Jiang Wan did exactly what they said.
The two became the first female champions in both civil and military examinations since the founding of Daxia, and were once nicknamed "the two beauties of civil and military affairs" by the common people in the capital.
In this year's imperial examination, the number of women who passed the top three positions accounted for more than half of the total list!
After that, the customs of the people in the Great Xia Dynasty gradually became more open, and many women came out of their homes and started small businesses.
The quality of life of the people of Daxia has been further improved, and everyone's face is full of vitality, which shows their expectation and yearning for the future.

Yanmen Pass.
Looking at the innocent children laughing and playing on the hillside, Sui Ning looked at Qin Zheng beside her and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Qin Zheng put his arms around Sui Ning's waist from behind and rubbed her neck with his cheek.
His hot breath sprayed on her face, and he said with great satisfaction: "Never."
He seemed very satisfied that they had come this far.
Although sometimes he also thought that if he and Sui Ning had a child of their own, they would be very happy.
But it was just a hope, and he never regretted it.
If he had not stuck to his original intention, he would still be very miserable even if he had many children now.
It’s true that he likes children, but the prerequisite for liking him is that the child is his and Sui Ning’s.
Sui Ning leaned in Qin Zheng's arms, and the breeze blew past, bringing up an itchy feeling in her heart.
Over the years, she and Qin Zheng have worked together to guard Yanmen, and foreign enemies no longer dare to invade. Now, after training, both of them are quietly enjoying this rare warm moment.
At this moment, a clear and tender voice broke the silence.
“Brother, sister-in-law!”
A tiny kid in a moon-white tight-sleeved robe was struggling to move his short legs, running towards the two of them with a puff of panting.
Sui Ning pushed Qin Zheng away, stood up and took the little girl into her arms.
As soon as he jumped into Sui Ning's arms, Qin Yue's face turned red and he couldn't wait to sniff Sui Ning's arms carefully.
At the end, he didn't forget to give Sui Ning a kiss on the face.
"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much~"
Qin Zheng, who was standing by, had a dark face. He pulled him out of Sui Ning's arms and said, "You little bastard, this is my wife. If you want to hug your own wife, go hug your own wife."
Although Sui Ning and Qin Zheng have not married or had children in these years, everyone has tacitly accepted their relationship.
Qin Yue pouted and clung to Sui Ning, "Then when I grow up, I will marry my sister-in-law."
Qin Zheng only felt a blue vein on his forehead throbbing.
Fortunately, he and Sui Ning don’t have a son. If all his sons were like this, he would be angry to death sooner or later!
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into the pigpen to feed the pigs!"
Qin Yue was still young, so he immediately started howling like a ghost, "Ahhhhhh, big brother, you are so bad! I will tell Daddy and Mommy later that you bullied me!"
Sure enough, they saw Qin Ke and his wife not far away.
But Qin Zheng didn't tolerate him. He simply grabbed his collar and stuffed him back into Mrs. Qin's hands, then took Sui Ning and left without looking back.
Sui Ning saw this and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "He's only a four-year-old child."
"Four years old is not young anymore." Qin Zheng said as he domineeringly held Sui Ning's waist and said a little aggrievedly, "A Ning, I am your husband, you should look at me more."
Sui Ning smiled helplessly, put her arms around Qin Zheng's neck, and gently kissed him on the face.
Feeling the soft touch on his cheek, Qin Zheng's handsome face smiled again.
He quickly turned his head, gently held Sui Ning's face, and covered her with the soft lips in his memory.
