Chapter 588: Confrontation in public
Denzhi's eyes were red.
Everyone said that Emperor Beizhao had a great reputation, opened up encyclopedia, built schools extensively, and took a series of measures to benefit the people.
But all these measures have nothing to do with women.
What Chao Chao thinks in his heart is really to benefit women all over the world.
Regardless of status.
Dengzhi bowed to Chao Chao.
Lu Chaochao nodded, holding the money box given by his mother in his arms. Thirty thousand taels of silver notes!
She looked for her eldest brother and third brother again. They both managed properties privately.
Another six thousand taels were raised.
Lu Chaochao pursed his lips: "Third brother, third brother, can you take me to the richest man Lin's house?"
Lu Yuanxiao was no longer the ignorant child he was before. He touched Chaochao's head and said, "Chaochao, Lin Yanyang doesn't dare to lend you money this time. The money given by the richest family represents a political stance. They are now imperial merchants and have to rely on them. The imperial court does not dare to go against the imperial court.”
Lu Chaochao touched his chin: "I'm not looking for Lin Yanyang, I want to see the old lady of the Lin family."
Lu Yuanxiao thought for a while and found an opportunity to bring Chaochao into the Lin family.
About an hour later, the little girl came out of Lin's house.
Later, he visited the eldest princess and many old ladies from aristocratic families. Until night, I came to the Queen Mother's palace again.
This time he stayed a little longer, but before the palace door closed, Lu Chaochao walked out of the door with a smile.
Emperor Xuanping pressed his eyebrows: "Has she left the palace?"
The eunuch removed the teapot and brought the soothing soup to His Majesty.
"She has just left the palace. If you want to see her, just tell her to come and see her. I heard that she will leave for the Brahma Kingdom soon."
The emperor hurriedly raised his hand: "That's all."
"She wants to set up a girls' school, how can I agree to her request?"
"The ancestor emperor strictly prohibited the establishment of a school for women. Furthermore, I am afraid that there will be obstacles in the court." Emperor Xuanping did not have much reaction to the school for women. Perhaps, because of the court, he had been vaguely aware of the power of women. .
"That's all, the soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth. At worst, I will just call it sick. Let them make trouble..."
"If you make trouble with the courtiers, you can't make trouble with me." The emperor felt a headache.
Lu Chaochao returned home and took out the banknote he got today from the space.
Yushu's eyes widened: "Wow, are these all collected from donations today?"
Lu Chaochao smiled and lay on the bed, counting one by one.
"Where did you get this money from donations?" Yuqin and the other two also carefully counted Chaochao's belongings.
"They were given by the ladies." Among them were old ladies and young girls.
Everyone was startled.
"Although the ladies are nobles of Beizhao, they are also women. Only women can understand the difficulty of being a woman."
"They gave Chaochao money but did not want to leave their names."
I'm afraid Emperor Xuanping didn't know that even the Queen Mother opened a small treasury for Lu Chaochao.
As the Queen Mother, she also understands that only women entering the hall are the key to truly improving their status.
"A total of three hundred and eighty thousand taels." Yushu's eyes were bright and burning.
At the beginning, the court officials donated money to build the school, which cost more than 700,000 taels in total.
But Chao Chao is very satisfied with the establishment of a women's school, and I am afraid that the world will also be opposed to it. This 380,000 taels is estimated to be just right.
At night, Lu Chaochao fell asleep holding a thick stack of money.
She felt like she was dreaming about the God of Wealth.
When I woke up in the morning, I smelled like banknotes.
"Yushu Yuqin, please dress me in palace clothes today." Lu Chaochao spread his arms and Yushu brought her the palace clothes, wearing them quite seriously.
The little girl took a few mouthfuls of porridge and set off to the palace.
Xu Shiyun stood in front of the gate with a sad face, watching her go away.
Shanshan burst into tears in her arms, and Yun Niang whispered: "You are also proud of your sister, right?"
Shanshan watched his sister walk away with an expressionless expression.
No, I'm crying for the gold bracelet and the small treasury.
Inside the Jinluan Hall.
"If there is something to report, but nothing to do, leave the court..." After the courtiers finished reporting the state affairs, they left the old god in his place.
After a while, a voice was heard outside the hall.
"Princess Zhaoyang has an audience!"
All the courtiers stood there for a while, and then they saw Princess Zhaoyang in palace attire entering the palace against the light, with a solemn look on her face that they had never seen before.
"Chaoyang has something to come to see you." Lu Chaochao raised his head and looked at the emperor's father.
Emperor Xuanping...
I really want to escape.
The emperor raised his hand feebly, holding the dragon chair with his right hand and stroking his brow. Today, I'm afraid there's going to be a fight in the court.
"The Chao Dynasty intends to build a school for women all over the world, so that women can be enlightened, sensible, and wise..."
Before he finished speaking, the civil servant with white hair and beard jumped up immediately.
"It's nonsense! Princess Zhaoyang, I respect you, but you can't act nonsense!"
"I regard the king as the anchor, the son as the father, and the wife as the husband. It is right for a woman to stay at home and support her husband and educate her children. Your Majesty, I am opposed to the establishment of a girls' school!" The old minister blushed anxiously. , Such stubborn minds are the most difficult to change.
All the ministers in the court looked at each other. Although they were afraid of Lu Chaochao, the status of men in the world was at stake and they could not be allowed to retreat.
"Being the male protagonist and the female protagonist is the rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. Your Highness, please think twice."
"Read the commandments and precepts for women. What kind of school should we build for women? Otherwise, we will not develop our minds."
"Since ancient times, there have been no rules for women to enter school. Back then, our ancestors, the emperor, explicitly prohibited the establishment of schools for girls!"
"Princess Zhaoyang, establishing a women's school is of great importance and involves too many things. You should think twice."
The opposition voice in the court was stronger than Lu Chaochao imagined.
There was even an old minister who said with a determined look on his face: "If a girls' school is built, I would rather die in the Jinluan Palace."
Lu Chaochao felt ridiculous when he saw them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"You are scared!" The little girl stood opposite the entire court.
"Afraid? Afraid of women?" Upon hearing this, the ministers laughed out loud.
Women are men's appendages, and they have never thought of being afraid of them.
"If you're not afraid, why do you want to threaten me with death? Why should you be afraid of women enrolling in school?"
"Stop trying to pressure me with death! If you want to bump into the Golden Palace, bump into it. If you bump into it now, I will let you be reborn as a girl tomorrow!" Lu Chaochao put his hands on his hips, I'm sorry, I have a back-up!
"You..." The minister who was hitting the pillar was so angry that he almost couldn't lift his breath.
Several ministers behind him who wanted to die to show their determination immediately backed away with their foreheads covered.
"You're so messy!"
"It was the last wish of our ancestors that women cannot go to school."
"Your Majesty, if you agree, our ancestors will never die in peace." The courtier knelt on the ground, not daring to confront Lu Chaochao, and could only use the last wishes of his ancestors to press him.
"How many years have our ancestors been dead? Can the living people still be controlled by him? Besides, does he have any will?" Lu Chaochao looked at Emperor Xuanping.
Emperor Xuanping frowned and shook his head: "This is the last wish of our ancestors before they died, passed down from generation to generation."
Everyone knew that this was just to silence Lu Chaochao through the mouth of their ancestors.
"Okay, okay, you have to talk about your ancestors, right?" Lu Chaochao gritted his teeth in anger.
He looked at everyone with a cold face.
"Princess Zhaoyang, just be your leisurely princess. What do the women of the world have to do with you." Some ministers even advised her with sincere words.
Lu Chaochao said nothing.
Ancestor, right?
Then let’s fight among ourselves! (End of chapter)
