Chapter 216 The courtier has closed himself

Fu Jiuxiao is autistic.

Not even a day after I said those cruel words, I was twitching my butt and head and letting others jump on me.

Fu Jiuxiao felt the trick of fate at this moment.

Suisui grinned and said happily: "Don't lower your head, your skirt will fall off." Then, she laughed like a goose.

All the bad breath was released.

Fu Jiuxiao was about to leave, but Suisui immediately jumped down from the chair and grabbed the corner of his skirt, trying to look cute.

Who knows how strong it is...

Tear...

One sound.

Fu Jiuxiao's skirt was so thin that she tore off a large piece of it.

The atmosphere was even more solidified than before.

The two looked at each other, Suisui looked innocent?!

Suisui didn't react until Fu Jiuxiao ran away with the tips of her ears red.

Suisui felt much happier after watching Fu Jiuxiao's impromptu performance.

Not long after, Fu Jiuxiao came back after changing her clothes, but her face was still smelly and black.

He should have known!!

Wangshan Mansion has been poor for so many years, and suddenly it can come up with such incredible grains. Who else but Xiaosuisui can do it?

Thinking that after saying harsh words yesterday, and now coming to slap her in the face in person, Fu Jiuxiao wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

"Don't worry, I don't remember how you danced in women's clothes just now." Suisui said with a sincere face.

"You don't have to say anything." Fu Jiuxiao looked at the sky silently.

Suisui said honestly.

"I didn't mean to quarrel with you. On the day I entered Beijing, I met many sisters... them..." Suisui paused.

"They were dressed in silk and satin, with red hairpins on their heads. They were obviously women in their prime, but they were tied up like animals."

"They were crying and howling, begging for mercy and kowtowing, but no one paid any attention to them."

That day, the whole city knelt on both sides of the streets to see the late emperor off to the funeral. The funeral procession stretched from the palace to ten miles away.

Suisui followed far behind.

Watching the late emperor being buried and sealing the mausoleum, all the women were pushed into the imperial mausoleum.

Most of the women are still in their twenties and eighties. They are as beautiful as flowers, but still have a little childishness that doesn't understand human affairs.

They were all buried alive.

She later heard that some of the concubines were given poisonous wine and white silk in the palace, and only some of the concubines with children were left to take care of themselves in the palace.

At the moment of burial, the overwhelming resentment in the imperial mausoleum was extremely frightening.

If Suisui were an ordinary person, she would be invisible.

But she is not, she is a woman and a goddess, and she is favored by the emperor.

One word from her can change the tragic fate of women for thousands of years to come. How could Suisui pretend to be blind?

Fu Jiuxiao said nothing, only patted her head gently.

"Brother knows."

Suisui was once thrown away like a commodity, and was exchanged for food by the old Wang family. It was just because women were too contemptuous and no one took women seriously.

She has felt the same way, so she can be empathetic.

There are many women in the world who have reached high positions, but no one has thought about improving their status.

Return to the palace on the second day.

Fu Jiuxiao issued three imperial edicts in a row.

First, after the emperor dies, concubines with children can stay in the palace, and concubines without children can freely choose to leave the palace or go home. Living burials are cancelled.

The second way is to allow women to reconcile and divorce, share the family property equally, and encourage remarriage.

The third way is to allow the establishment of women's academies. If women are willing to enroll, their families cannot stop them.

As soon as these three imperial edicts came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, it is a virtue for women not to have talent. How can they go to academies? Women are mostly literate. Sichen, Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" In the court, an old minister was full of indignation.

Fu Jiuxiao sat high in the court hall and glanced at Mr. Zhou lightly.

"Master Zhou, I remember that your legitimate daughter and granddaughter were all enlightened at the age of three. Moreover, I have never seen you marry an illiterate wife?" Master Zhou's breath was stagnant.

Fu Jiuxiao sneered, it was nothing more than a woman who would threaten the noble status of a man after she became educated and sensible.

Fu Jiuxiao is a man, but he understands the mentality of men.

They just hope that women can depend on them and exist.

"Your Majesty, it is the blessing of future generations if a woman honors her deceased husband!!" Mr. Wu was heartbroken.

Fu Jiuxiao looked calm: "What? Your family's descendants are not going to live up to expectations, so I need to be alone for the rest of my life and earn a chastity memorial memorial?"

"If my children and grandchildren don't live up to expectations, I blame my mother for not being a widow."

Mr. Wu was blocked and his face turned red. His mother got married at the age of sixteen.

After giving birth to him at the age of eighteen, his father passed away.

His mother has been widowed since he was 18 years old. She raised him up. In order to provide for his education, her mother went to do laundry every day before dawn. In the middle of winter, her hands were swollen from soaking.

One of her hands was twisted and unable to move freely.

I still have to embroider at night. My hands are swollen and it is difficult to even thread a needle. I have been doing embroidery for many years and my eyesight is not good.

The year he got second place in the exam, his mother was so happy that she burst into tears.

Later, my mother was silent for a long time, and then she said that she was tired these years and wanted to get married.

That year, my mother was thirty-nine years old.

What were his original words at that time? He still vaguely remembered: Mother, my son only got second place in the rankings and will have a hard time in the court in the future. The son has no help. If the mother can earn a chastity memorial tablet and come back, it will be beneficial to the son's reputation in the future.

He still remembers that day when the light in his mother's eyes went out.

From then on, my mother never mentioned this matter again, and until she came back from Chastity Arch, my mother's smile could not reach her eyes.

"It is a bad habit to honor women with chastity arches and burials." Fu Jiuxiao couldn't help showing disgust.

"In the Chastity Arch, I didn't see any commendation. I only saw the unfilial piety of future generations. They constrained their mother's life for their own reputation. Sacrificing their mother's future to fulfill their own glory is really unfilial." Fu Jiuxiao glanced at it.

Master Wu glanced at him, and Master Wu shrank his head and refused to say another word.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to canceling the chastity arch."

"As for women studying, I have no objection." What if I agree to women running academies?

Who is willing to do it for them? Then they must have books to read!

No matter who takes charge of it, he will be ostracized by the courtiers and even all men.

"But the burial of emperors' concubines has been passed down for thousands of years. It has been a rule since ancient times. This is the unparalleled honor of the family and their glory. This matter must not be abolished!"

"It is their blessing to be buried with the emperor."

Most of the courtiers are staunch defenders of the royal family. The imperial power must not be violated in the slightest, and they will never give in.

Fu Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows.

Suisui is really a clever little girl. She calculated that the courtiers would firmly oppose this.

After all, this is the only one that involves the vital interests of the courtiers.

Fu Jiuxiao coughed dryly, "In that case..."

"Master Xu, I heard that your family is not having many heirs. It seems that you only have your legitimate daughter in your family, right? Send her portrait to the palace and let me take a look."

"Master Wang, I heard that your granddaughter is exactly like you and you like her very much. Send her to the palace and let me see if she looks like her."

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have a younger sister. She was born like Chen Yu Luo Yan, and she was raised by you personally, and you raised her more carefully than your own daughter."

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you got a daughter in old age, and you got a sweetheart. She is only twelve years old this year, so I won't let you have her for the next few years." Fu Jiuxiao smiled and specifically asked them which child they doted on the most.

People all have preferences.

Specialized in poaching sweethearts!

"As for me, I don't plan to consummate our marriage in the next few years. I want to stay with the late emperor for a few more years."

"If something happens to me unfortunately in the future, please trouble some of my beloved concubines to bury me for me." Fu Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and pointed at the child who was most favored in the hearts of the courtiers.

The ministers took a breath and looked at him almost tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection."

"Your Majesty, I have no objection."

A crowd of thorns lowered their noble heads.

Damn, Suisui is indeed a clever little kid.

Whoever disagrees will be allowed to enter the palace and be buried!
