Chapter 68 You Idiots

Ji Jin's hand holding the armrest tightened, tightened and loosened again. After a long time, she slowly turned her head and said, "Uncle, honor is very important to a woman. Some things should be let go. Every time you mention it, This is another harm to a woman who has lost her integrity. I hope your uncle will learn from this."

Ji Yucang said coldly: "A woman's integrity is damaged, and it is indeed very harmful. If this happened to some weak women, given the shameful attitude of the Qin family's breakup of the engagement and the shameful attitude of the Zhenguo government, the woman would only die."

Duke Zhenguo stood silently, feeling uneasy about the regent's pointed words, but feeling that he had done nothing wrong.

Nowadays, the requirements for women's reputation are indeed strict. This is not something he can decide alone. He knows that Shen Ning is innocent, but he has to consider the interests of the entire family.

"After the incident, everyone was talking about Shen Ning's innocence being lost, but no one has ever accused the bandits of being cold and cruel." Ji Yucang's eyes fell on the face of the Duke of Zhen, "Shen Yunlin, as the Duke of Zhen, have you ever Have you ever thought about seeking justice for your daughter?”

The Duke of Zhen Guo choked and was speechless.

Although the attack on Shen Ning caused a lot of fuss, the victim's family never reported it to the authorities. Naturally, the authorities would not seriously investigate the case. In addition, there were people who were obstructing it. These days, the issue of Shen Ning's innocence has been the most discussed issue. But few people care about who the perpetrators are and what punishment they received.

Before Shen Ning married the regent, he thought that the family's ugliness should not be publicized, and just wanted Shen Ning to marry Qin Yanshu in a low profile as his concubine. After marrying the regent, he didn't want things to continue to escalate, but just wanted to calm the criticism from outside as soon as possible.

As for investigating the murderer... Although he did not report it to the official in a big way, he secretly sent people to investigate, but no definite information has been found so far.

I didn't expect that the regent would talk about this kind of thing in the court.

"The princess I married has a strong heart, is not afraid of worldly criticism, and does not punish herself for the faults of others, but this does not mean that this matter has not harmed her." Ji Yucang looked around the hall coldly, "In the world, men are superior to women, and women are treated as inferior. The requirements for chastity are strict, and I have no intention of changing your ideas for the time being. However, those who can stand in the court today are all familiar with the books of sages. Have the sages taught you to bully the weak and put all the faults of those who have committed crimes on you? On women?"

"Report to the Regent." Yan Qingchen stood up, bowed and spoke, "I thought that everyone was responsible for what they did. What those bandits and bandits did was because they were extremely sinful and cruel in nature, and they regarded the laws of the Yong Kingdom as nothing! I believe that they should be arrested as soon as possible and sentenced to death, so that the people of the world can believe in the justice of the law and justice can be given to the women of the world."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the rules and regulations have always been very strict on women. If a woman loses her reputation, even if it is not her fault, there will be a lot of discussion outside. I think this aspect cannot be eliminated for the time being. If you really want to To stop it, we can only suppress it with iron and blood, and appropriately relax the restrictions on women in terms of dogma.”

Although who knows that the suppression is only temporary and will not have much effect, and the scale of relaxing the restrictions is not easy to grasp, and it is very difficult to implement it in a short period of time, and people say it is scary.

However, the court's decrees are clearly issued, which will have some effect.

What's more, what really makes life worse than death is far from the rumors outside, but the strange vision and attitude from family members. As long as some restrictions are relaxed, powerful men will at least not dare to blatantly force women to "sacrifice their innocence."

"In the past, women were humiliated. In order to show their strength and earn honor for their families, most of them would die to apologize, but I don't understand what the woman's crime was." Xie Tinglan stood up and spoke righteously, "I thought, If men and women from aristocratic families do not abide by the rules and guard themselves, give and receive privately, and regard ethics and education as nothing, then severe punishment is understandable. However, excessive harsh punishment, and even forming a pathological "martial girl standard" is really undesirable. This will only deepen the world's harsh requirements for women. They don't allow women to have any stains on their bodies, and they don't even allow any mistakes in their words and deeds. However, if you are not a saint, how can you make no mistakes? "

Uncle Qin said coldly: "Master Xie, you mean that the requests made by the ancient sages are all wrong?"

Xie Tinglan retorted: "The ancient sages may not be wrong, but it has been passed down for thousands of years. For the so-called family honor, some stupid people have compressed the living space of women more and more narrowly. This is not compliance." The attitude of the ancient sages is to use the words of the ancient sages as a broadsword to slash weak and innocent women wantonly. They have no room for resistance. Under these suppressions, they will only become more and more helpless and humble. This is not us. Want to see results.”

Yan Qingchen nodded: "Your right minister is right, and this is what I mean."

Ji Yucang sat on the king's chair without saying a word, with a cold and distant face, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.

"Uncle Emperor." Ji Jin frowned, "Women are vassals. They only exist to reproduce children——"

"Fart!" A cold shout rang out, and the eldest princess of Pingyao walked quickly into the hall in a red dress, with cold and beautiful eyes, "The emperor is the king of a country, but he has always regarded women as a tool to reproduce heirs? This is why you, as the emperor, are the emperor. Absurd and ignorant? I feel really sad that the royal family has a heir like you!"

Ji Jin's face was ashen and she said angrily: "This is the court hall, not the eldest princess's palace. Who allowed the imperial sister to come in without permission?"

"I have been ordered to bring Qin Yanshu here for questioning." Princess Pingyao raised her hand, and several imperial guards came up behind her escorting Qin Yanshu.

Qin Yanshu's face was still a little pale from a serious illness, and he looked much more haggard.

Qin Guojiu's face was livid: "Princess Pingyao, you have no room to speak here!"

Princess Pingyao looked directly at Ji Jin: "Men are noble, women are humble, which is the result of repeated suppression by you despicable and shameless men!"

"Women can only reproduce? In this case, does the emperor dare to issue an order to allow women to participate in the imperial examinations, to lead troops in the army, and to show their faces in public?"

"You dare not, because you are afraid that women will steal your limelight, power and status!"

"You suppress women at all costs, but you devalue the status of women from a high position. You are a group of superficial and ignorant fools! This palace should really let you taste the taste of being stepped on!"
