"Support?" Wei Ziyao felt that this support was very ironic. "From what you all are saying, it seems that under my father's threat, you all agreed to his daughter's unreasonable proposal?"
Wasn't that exactly what she meant?
"I was the one who proposed the idea of women entering the academy in front of His Majesty in the imperial court. If all of you think that I am making trouble for no reason, then I have nothing to say. Your horizons are limited to this."
Wei Ziyao's words were clearly mocking the officials who opposed her.
When the officials heard this, they immediately objected.
"Lord Wei, how are you not being unreasonable? You suggested that the national treasury should invest in private schools to lower the tuition fees so that the children of humble families can study. You also suggested that the academy be divided into different levels. We all agree with all of these. However, Lord Wei … you suggested that women enter private schools. Isn't this a bit … "
"Oh? Sir, what do you think is the problem? "Wei Ziyao looked at him doubtfully.
"There is nothing wrong with women of noble families studying. However, women of humble families do nothing more than buy groceries and cook at home and farm. What's the point of these women not studying?"
"Hahaha …" When she heard this, Wei Ziyao couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord Wei, what do you mean by that laugh? Am I wrong? "
"I'm laughing at your stupidity. I'm laughing at your stupidity. According to what you've said, what's the point of establishing an academy? Will everyone be able to enter the Imperial College after they enter the academy? If not even ten percent of the people can enter the Imperial College, then these people don't need to study? Or is it because they are men and are different from women? For some people, studying is to stand out and obtain scholarly honors. However, for most people, it is just a process of learning to read and understand. Women and men are no different. We are all humans. Why should we stand on opposite sides? "
Studying won't get in the way of these people.
"Lord Wei, it's easy for you to say that we are not on opposite sides. Then what if a woman's results are excellent and she is admitted to the Imperial College, or even the top scorer?"
Wei Ziyao almost burst out laughing at his question.
"Sir, don't you think there's something wrong with your words? If she really passed, it meant that the woman was also capable. What was wrong with such a capable woman being an official? Isn't relaxing the system to allow women to study and work outside the country a form of development? "
"How can that be? As a woman, how could she show her face in public? Women should … "
Fine!
Wei Ziyao rolled her eyes. They were back to square one again!
However, after what Wei Ziyao said today, some of the officials who were previously indecisive began to slowly stand on Wei Ziyao's side.
"Your Majesty, this subject thinks that Lord Wei's suggestion is feasible. She is right, men and women are not antagonistic. There are many jobs that are suitable for women in the outside world. Why don't we do as she said and relax the system so that women can also learn and be qualified for some positions that they are qualified for?"
"I concur."
After all, these were people who had read the sage books. Although they were pedantic, they were not unreasonable.
Wei Ziyao's words had already gained the support of most of the people.
However, Wei Ziyao couldn't see through this small group of people.
She felt that a few of them were purely against her. The others were really too pedantic and looked down on women. They felt that women could only be accessories to men forever.
"Since there are people who oppose and people who support, then just like what we said before, let's have a competition. However, something happened to Wang Jiacai, who was in charge of choosing the poor men. One of you will be in charge of the poor men."
Northern Wen Emperor sat on the high platform and ordered the people below to choose another man.
It was originally quite simple. As long as one of the people who opposed this matter stood out, it would be fine.
However, the people who opposed this immediately fell silent.
At this moment, Lord Qian stood out.
