My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Ning Bu Si admitted it too readily, and the problem moved to the next stage.

——How to deal with her.

This matter was also first brought up by Rong Ping.

"Your Majesty, although Captain Ning is a woman, she has sacrificed her life for our Zhou country and has beheaded countless enemy soldiers on the battlefield. She has made contributions to both the country and the people."

"Besides, I got my position with my own life, which is better than any other man's."

"I believe that in the hundred years since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, no law has been issued that prohibits women from serving as soldiers or generals."

"As for Captain Ning, the court should not let her and her soldiers feel cold just because she is a woman."

Rong Ping looked at Ning Bu Si, who didn't understand why he was pleading for her, and smiled.

"Captain Ning has a noble character, is not afraid of power, and has the demeanor of a gentleman. He is a blessing to the court and the people of Zhou."

"If we call for her to be killed just because she is a woman, where is the spirit of a real man?"

Some ministers disagreed and stood up.

"Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for women serving as officials. We do not deny Captain Ning's achievements over the past three years, but since ancient times, men have been in charge of external affairs, while women have been in charge of internal affairs."

"Ning Bu Si is so unorthodox. If the women in the backyard follow his example, won't the world be in chaos?"

"If this matter is not dealt with seriously, the news will spread to other countries, and they will think that there is no one available in our Zhou country, and they will even send the women in the harem to the battlefield."

"Moreover, for the soldiers, letting a woman from the harem lead them really undermines the morale of the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom."

The Minister of Rites, Lord Chang Zunli, was a stern old man who was very respectful of etiquette and brought up the younger generation in his family in a very strict manner.

The daughter's words and deeds are more standardized than those of the princesses in the palace. She is a perfect example of a daughter of a noble family.

This also means that the marriages they arrange are naturally excellent.

Even the youngest daughter, who was only nine years old, was betrothed early on.

He has always been satisfied with this.

Therefore, after knowing that Ning Bu Si was a woman, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to this polite old man.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chang is right. Captain Ning is a heretic. We can look at her past achievements and not mind her entering the military camp as a woman."

"But continuing to serve as a lieutenant is absolutely not allowed."

"The rites and laws of our Zhou state cannot be violated, and the traditions left by our ancestors cannot be abolished."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to abolish the post of Captain Ning Bu Si."

General Meng Daming, the first general to stand up, bowed deeply.

Two people took the lead, and several ministers came out to agree.

The words were so fierce that Ye Shengxin frowned.

She looked at the fifth-rank official uniform that she was still holding in her hand, and then at Ning Bushi, who was kneeling in the hall with his eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

The same people who are wandering in the world complain about the system:

[It's just that a woman is in office. System, look at the faces of these people. They are so ugly.]

The adult who was still making an impassioned speech paused.

He snorted coldly, pretending not to hear, and continued speaking.

Emperor Jingming looked at Ye Shengxin, and his throbbing eyebrows seemed to be comforted.

There was also a hint of expectation in those quiet eyes.

System: [In the history of our country, there are many examples of women serving as officials and generals and accomplishing great things. ]

[Although Empress Wu Zetian had a hard time ascending to the throne, her achievements are recognized by future generations.]

[In this world, most men are too petty and can't tolerate such things. ]

A certain adult couldn't help but add one more sentence after finishing his statement, gritting his teeth:

"Women cannot be officials. This is the etiquette and law."

Emperor Jingming frowned, unable to believe it.

Queen?

Is she the empress?

The place where Ye Xingxin originally lived actually allowed women to become emperors?

Prime Minister Shangguan, the Crown Prince and others were also extremely shocked when they heard this.

It was already shocking for women to serve as officials, but there was actually a woman who became an emperor?

Her achievements were even recognized by later generations?

This is this...

Everyone looked at each other and saw surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.

At the top, Emperor Jingming moved his fingers and looked at Ye Shengxin with burning eyes.

I wonder what kind of experiences this empress had and what she did to be recognized by later generations?

In the audience, after the initial blow, some of the ministers with relatively open minds, like the emperor, became curious about the empress's experience.

Unfortunately, Ye Shengxin didn’t continue talking, but instead brought up something else.

[These people talk about etiquette and rites, but not about the traditions of their ancestors. They even drag this matter into a national event. They are really good at making a big deal out of it.]

The system was helpless: [In fact, this is not their fault. Who made them not record it in history books? They didn’t know that the matriarchal society existed at the beginning of human birth. ]

[In this kind of society, because of women's inventions and creations, the social system is dominated by women, and women also hold important positions in the community. ]

[The ancestors who made the rules in the mouths of the old men had to obey the women at that time. ]

[Newly born children in the tribe only know their mother but not their father.]

Speaking of this, Ye Xingxin had a playful expression:

[System, if these old guys who stick to etiquette knew that their female ancestors thousands of years ago had many husbands and went out to have sex every day, would they be mad to death? ]

[Will she eat the etiquette and laws that bind women herself, so that she won't be beaten up by her female ancestors a thousand years ago a hundred years later?]

System: [It’s a pity that no one in this era has studied the history before this, so we don’t know anything about it.]

[Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, or the Rules and Disciplines for Women. ]

[I personally think that these things happened because men rebelled against their female ancestors, but later generations have forgotten.]

[Of course, it is also possible that they felt humiliated, so they did not record it. ]

Ye Xingxin felt very sorry: [It would be nice if there was a chance to let these stubborn old men have a chat with their female ancestors. ]

【Let the female ancestor teach them what the true meaning of "since ancient times" is. 】

[How dare they use their names to enslave and restrict today's women? Bah, they won't know how to write the word "ancestor" unless they are beaten a few times.]

Ye Shengxin and the system were making a lot of noise.

The news revealed was more shocking than a woman becoming an emperor.

The prince was the first to come back to his senses. He raised his fingers and closed his chin.

Then he looked upwards.

He saw that his wise and intelligent father's eyes could not move and he looked stupid.

It seems that the worldview has been completely shattered.

The ministers were not much better.

Especially those old men who asked the emperor to punish Ning Bu Si, their expressions were red and green, so exciting.

While enjoying the show with evil eyes, the prince suddenly realized that Ye Shengxin seemed... seemed... to be a jinx!

He took a breath.

These pedantic old men, don’t they really want to meet the female ancestor who lived thousands of years ago?

[Hey, why is no one talking again? ]

Ye Shengxin came back to his senses and looked at Ning Bushi, who was kneeling on the ground and a little confused about the situation.

She quite admires this guy, so why not step out and help him.

He did it as he thought and casually stuffed the thing in his hand into the hands of Xu Changyu next to him.

"Brother Xu, please help me hold it for a while."
