Chapter 306 Doomsday Training Class - An Lingrong + Huanbi (7)
This move also won over many Han people. No one objected to the order prohibiting women from binding their feet. Since they already had hair, they might as well unbind their feet.
Being freed from the constraints of foot binding was only the first step. After Shiyi expanded the large stage in front of his door, more and more women dared to go on stage, and he also took this opportunity to discover many talents.
They were collected and placed in the newly established women's colleges, and once they had completed their studies, they would be allowed to take the imperial examinations.
If the imperial examination was open to women from the beginning, it would be fine if no one signed up, but those who did apply would be suppressed by men due to their lack of strength, which would discourage many people and would also become a reason for those men to attack them.
Five years later, the first batch of students graduated from the Women's College and the imperial examination for women was officially opened. Even with the influence of An Lingrong's ability, there were still many stubborn people, the first of whom was Prince Yong.
"Is Your Majesty going to follow the path of King Wu of Zhou again?" Prince Yong has always looked down on women.
The fact that he casually looked for a so-called substitute for his beloved wife and turned a blind eye to Longkodo's abuse of his wife shows that he doesn't care about these things.
"Zhou Wu?" An Lingrong looked at Prince Yong and chuckled, "You mean, I'm a woman?"
"I dare not." Prince Yong knelt on the ground, sweating profusely. However, this was not exciting enough, because the next second, An Lingrong admitted it.
“Yes, I am a woman.”
Prince Yong was so shocked that he jumped up, but because of his size he fell to the ground and got up using his hands and feet. Fortunately, no one cared about his embarrassment.
Everyone present raised their heads and looked at An Lingrong, who was calm and composed: "The late emperor saw early on that none of you are worthy of this throne. He would rather pass the throne to me, a woman, than to you."
These words were indeed spoken in anger, but An Lingrong began to take off her robe in public, one piece at a time, until only her inner garment was left. Anyone could see that this was a woman's body.
"I am a woman." The dragon robe on the ground was stepped on mercilessly. An Lingrong sat on the dragon chair wearing only her inner clothes. "In this case, women are really not allowed to participate in the imperial examination?"
Huanbi immediately knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the goddess of heaven. Your Majesty's words are the will of heaven. The imperial examination for women is unstoppable!"
Afterwards, several ministers dressed as men also knelt down and shouted "Goddess of Heaven". Thinking that the herd mentality could be easily aroused, everyone knelt down one by one and shouted "Goddess of Heaven".
In the end, only Prince Yong was still standing. He was really shocked. At first, he felt that the late emperor intended to pass the throne to him, but later he suddenly made An Lingrong the crown prince.
Then began the indiscriminate killing of the princes, and no one escaped. He originally thought that the late emperor was crazy, but now it seems that he was really crazy.
"How can a woman become an emperor?!" Prince Yong couldn't believe it.
"Didn't Fourth Brother just say something about the spirit of King Wu of Zhou? Now there is a spirit of celebration. Do you want me to change the country's name to Zhou to celebrate for Fourth Brother's dream coming true?" As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Prince Yong fainted from anger.
There were no more opponents, and the imperial examination for women went on smoothly. No one paid attention to this matter anymore. Whether the emperor was a man or a woman, there was no change in the job assigned to him.
Besides, everyone has accepted that the next emperor is a woman, so why would they care whether the current emperor is a woman? Only the Queen Mother is doubting her life.
