There was not even a maid in the side hall who served tea and water, and if she wanted to drink, she would do it herself, including Qin Mu himself.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Meng couldn't help but ask again: "King Qin, what is your will, you better say it first, the minister is not happy to drink this wine." ”

Qin Mu put down the cup and said calmly: "Usually I rarely invite you old people to drink, do you know what the Tao is for?" ”

Liu Meng and Han Gang glanced at each other, and Liu Meng replied: "Because the ministers drank blood with the King of Qin." ”

Qin Mu nodded and said: "It is said that fighting tiger brothers, fathers and sons, this king has no blood brothers, so I have always regarded you old brothers who have been born and died together as the most dependent ones." As the head of a country, this king wants to govern the whole country, and he usually doesn't want to highlight our relationship, let alone let you become the target of the public, I hope you can understand. ”

After Liu Meng and Han Gang listened, they got up at the same time and bowed down: "The minister is frightened, the king of Qin has an order, and the minister goes to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”

"Get up, it's not as serious as you think. It's just that the house always has to be swept from time to time to keep it clean. Qin Mu said and picked up his wine glass and gestured to him, and after drinking a glass, he continued, "It seems that it is not difficult to clean the house, but if you don't make some preparations, it is easy to be blinded by dust." ”

"Please send an edict to the King of Qin, and the ministers will immediately go and help the King of Qin clean up."

Qin Mu smiled and said: "It's not as serious as you think, you don't need to do it, you just need to strengthen the vigilance of the Beijing camp, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, if you have a will, you can dispatch at any time." ”

"Please rest assured that as soon as King Qin's will arrives, the 100,000 strong troops in the Beijing camp will definitely be able to enter the battle immediately."

"Well, that's fine. Come, let's keep drinking. ”

Liu Meng and Han Gang's hearts itched. I really want to know what happened to Lu Dao to make Qin Mu react like this;

It's just that Qin Mu has always strictly separated the military from the government, and the civilian officials rarely interfere in the military, and the military generals are even more strictly forbidden to interfere in political affairs.

Qin Mu continued: "In order not to attract suspicion, you should strengthen your vigilance in the name of preparing for hunting. And before the king, he sent messengers to the nations, and when they arrived. This king is going to hold a grand hunt, and then you will show the military might of my Great Qin, so that you can teach the four Yi to submit. The specific charter of the caracal hunt has not yet been finalized by this king, and after it is drafted, you will prepare it according to the charter. ”

"Yes, King Qin."

The three of them drank for a while, and the banquet dispersed.

***

At the court meeting the next day, the atmosphere was a little strange at first. Except for Huang Zhenlin of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, who came out to play the progress of the construction of Miyagi, the few other people who came out to report were trivial things.

There was some depression in the hall, as if no one wanted to speak, Qin Mu glanced at Shoufu Sima An. Sima An's eyes were half-closed, like an old monk in meditation.

Looking at Zhuge Min again, he also lowered his eyelids, but his eyebrows occasionally moved slightly.

Qin Mu was about to ask Han Zanzhou to shout and retreat. The imperial official Ma Weizhong stood up and said loudly: "Qi Qin Wang, since ancient times. Men are inferior to women, and there is a difference between inside and outside. The woman has three righteousness, and there is no special way. Therefore, if you do not marry your father, you will marry your husband, and your husband will die from your son. There are also four virtues, women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's work, all of which are indispensable. ”

Qin Mu said secretly, and said quietly: "It seems that Ma Yushi still has a following. ”

"Exactly, King Qin, during the reign of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the demons danced wildly, the rites and music collapsed, the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers was gone, and there were slaves who poisoned the world, ruined my clothes, and even bloody everywhere; Now that my king is holding high the banner of righteousness and restoring my clothes, it is appropriate to reset the rites and music, and then reshape the outline of morality, so that the people of the world can have their own place, the family is sufficient, the people have no bitterness, the four Yi come together, and the sea is feasting. ”

After Ma Weizhong's generous speech, he changed his words and said to the point: "However, there are Gu beauties in the palace today, who have lost the virtue of women, and have shown up to hold painting and embroidery exhibitions in the market, which has attracted public opinion and slander, greatly damaged the royal reputation, and lost the great Qin national body. ”

As soon as Ma Weizhong's words fell, there was a buzzing sound in the hall, and the ministers exchanged their heads and whispered.

Everyone knows what kind of painting and embroidery exhibition Gu Meiren held, if it weren't for the support of King Qin behind his back, or his approval, it would never have happened like this.

Ma Weizhong's words were ostensibly aimed at a low-status beauty in the harem, but in fact, he was accusing King Qin of negligence, and combined with the faint undercurrent between the heavens and the wilderness, a feeling of mountain rain coming and wind full of buildings suddenly enveloped everyone's hearts.

Immediately after Ma Weizhong, Shen Qingyang also stood up in the matter of Like, and said loudly: "Qi Qin Wang, looking at the world, women are literate, and those who can understand righteousness are solid and virtuous, but they are rare; Others like to read novels, stir up evil hearts, and even dance and write the law, and do shameless things, but it is better to be illiterate, and to be clumsy and peaceful. ”

Shen Qingyang's words can be summed up in one meaning: a woman is virtuous if she is not talented.

This notion has long been deeply rooted. The traditional concept of talent and virtue is its soil. "Virtue is more important than talent" is originally a Confucian belief, regardless of gender. In addition, men have always been advocated to be based on "virtue", and would rather give up "talent" and have "virtue", so it is said that "men are virtuous and talented".

As for women, people have never attached importance to their talents, but to their "women's morality", and they are deeply afraid that "talent can hinder morality", so there is a saying that "women are virtuous if they are not talented", and it has been widely recognized by the whole society.

After Shen Qingyang finished speaking, nearly half of the courtiers immediately came out to echo him, and the momentum was huge and the crowd was raging.

Those who did not echo were also silent, this attitude was equivalent to acquiescing in the words of Ma Weizhong and Shen Qingyang.

Qin Mu actually knew very well why he would be opposed by so many people.

Confucianism pursues the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, just imagine, if women's talents are better than men, and the role they play is better than that of men, then how can these old men enjoy three wives and four concubines with peace of mind, and how can they still stand up and call three and four? Where does the so-called Compendium often exist?

People are of the same mind, and they are of the same mind, so many people will stand up against it this time, of course, if it is only because of Gu Hanyan's painting and embroidery exhibition, it will definitely not attract so many people to condemn it, it is obvious that Qin Mu's series of plans to release women's productivity have been leaked.

Seeing that Qin Mu didn't speak, the ministers of the palace took turns to go into battle, spitting saliva, trying their best to nip Qin Mu's plan in the bud.

In fact, Qin Mu does not intend to promote the idea of equality between men and women, in his opinion, men and women can never be truly equal, either men press on women, or women ride on men's heads to.

Power is such a thing, it's never possible to say that I get as much as you, okay, I'm satisfied, let's leave it at that. No, both men and women, once they get a little bit of power, they will want to get more and more power!

What Qin Muxiang has to do is only to give full play to the most basic role of women in order to solve the problem of insufficient productivity caused by the serious imbalance between men and women faced by Great Qin.

But he knew that if you want to explain to these ministers in the palace, you will never be able to explain clearly.

He didn't want to listen to the buzz of the hall. Gently stretched out the black royal robe, and said lightly: "The advice of the ministers, this king will carefully consider it, if there is nothing else to report, let's stop here today." ”

"Retreat!" Han Zanzhou shouted in tacit understanding.

Qin Mu immediately got up and retreated into the apse, and the ministers looked at each other, looking at Qin Mu's back and choking.

Sima An glanced at Zhuge Min meaningfully, then turned around and left the hall.

Zhuge Min's expression gradually became solemn, and then he left the hall without a sound.

Li Yuan, Gu Junen, Yang Tinglin, Yang Shen, Shao Hua, Yu Dayou, Song Xiance, Bai Tie, Song Yingxing, Du Yinli, Liu Boquan, He Liang, Gu Yanwu, etc., had different expressions and dispersed one after another.

After Qin Mu returned to the imperial study, he immediately made two orders:

The first way is to summon the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu into Beijing.

The second way is to summon Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Dongge University, back to Beijing.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Yan Gaofei, the deputy commander of the night non-collection, and after a cup of tea, Yan Gaofei hurriedly left the imperial study.

Next, Qin Mu summoned Liu Boquan, the secretary of the household department, Xu Yingjie, the left waiter, Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Shen, the secretary of Dali Temple
