Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 240 Queen Establishment

In order to better publicize the new policy, the library has specially launched "Dayan Newspaper", which will become an important channel for ordinary people to understand national affairs and policy trends.

In this way, information can be conveyed to the people more widely and deeply, enhancing their understanding and support for the new policies.

The first issue of Dayan newspapers and periodicals announced the revised laws, which greatly improved and enhanced the status of women.

Compared to granting women the right to divorce, allowing same-sex marriage has not caused much stir.

After all, according to the previous laws, if a wife sued her husband, she would be sentenced to two years in prison regardless of whether the accusation was true or not and whether the husband confirmed the crime.

For those who want to sue the government office and ask for a divorce, the county office will also consider the man's attitude. Even if the divorce is successful, the wife will at least be skinned alive.

Therefore, no matter how much injustice women suffered at home in ancient times, they rarely wanted to divorce.

After a divorce, women will be taken over by their original family. They have to obey their husbands after marriage and at home. It has always been like this. They never have a moment that truly belongs to themselves.

Now the new law stipulates that if a woman has good reasons and evidence, she can take the initiative to propose a divorce. Even if the man disagrees, she will be sentenced to divorce by the government.

If a divorced woman does not want to return to her mother's home, she can apply to set up her own household.

As soon as this new policy came out, many women in various government offices requested divorces. They were grateful to the empress, but the men who were asked to divorce hated this policy.

Lu Youqing even considered that there would be pedantic and old-fashioned officials who would still secretly embarrass women, so he specially set up an inspection department to allow them to appeal to higher levels.

As soon as the new policy was released, it caused quite a stir among the people.

Moreover, since the last imperial examination was over, Lu Youqing presided over the imperial examination, and nine women passed the examination and became Jinshi, it became popular among the upper class for women to study.

There are many women who thought they could only marry according to their parents' orders, but now they see the possibility of another life. With living role models right before their eyes, how could they accept their fate again?

Therefore, these are the topics discussed in restaurants, markets and other places all over the capital in recent days.

"Will women have more and more say in the future? My sister is now immersed in the sea of ​​books and even threatens to take part in the imperial examination three years later. Instead of staying at home honestly and waiting to get married and have children, she has to come out and compete with me!" The person who spoke frowned and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"That's right. Having children is their duty. Now they are putting the cart before the horse. It's absolutely ridiculous!"

"Shh!" A person next to him pulled his sleeve and reminded him in a low voice: "Keep your voice down. If this gets out, be careful that others will report you for being dissatisfied with the new policy."

The person who was speaking had an angry expression on his face, and even if he was dissatisfied inside, he didn't dare to say anything else.

Such conversations were very common among Confucian scholars.

In the gatherings of ladies in the boudoir, the atmosphere seems more warm and leisurely.

These women who usually get together to talk about life and family matters can now also talk about policies.

However, after today's discussion, several people suddenly started chatting.

"Have you read the storybook that's been very popular recently?"

"Are you talking about the book 'Red Makeup'? I heard that my little sister seems to be reading it. I heard that the story is quite novel."

"I have read it. It is said that the prototype of the story is the current emperor?"

"Ah, really?" Someone opened his mouth in surprise, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice: "Is it really about your Majesty? Is that Miss Mo in the storybook referring to?"

"Why ask? Think about it, who is the richest businessman in Dayan? And did he appear in the capital at the same time as Your Majesty?"

Everyone here is smart and will understand it immediately.

"Is it true that His Majesty and the Gu family master are together?"

Apparently gossiping is a human trait, and as soon as they heard the question, they all came over.

"You only pay attention to other new policies. Didn't you notice that there is a provision that allows same-sex marriages in Dayan?"

"You mean... wow, doesn't that mean..."

"Shh! Don't say anything. We'll just wait patiently!"

……

Qin Ke sent people to guide public opinion, and the response was good. When the fermentation was almost complete, His Majesty finally issued an imperial decree to officially announce the establishment of the queen.

'The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

I respectfully accept your precious destiny.

To carry on the great plan, to bestow grace upon the lord, and to bestow celebration and gifts.

Gu Lanxi is a man of both virtue and talent, born with pure beauty, with a graceful and elegant demeanor. He has a gentle and bright appearance, a virtuous and virtuous character, and is respectful and cautious. He has noble character and a smart and intelligent nature. He is well-trained and polite, and has a quiet and leisurely temperament.

She was canonized as the Empress of the Central Palace and granted residence in the Yongshou Palace.

When the edict to establish the empress was issued, the whole court was in uproar. Even though some ministers immediately wrote a letter of opposition, half of the court officials insisted that His Majesty withdraw the edict.

Not to mention that Gu Lanxi was just the daughter of a merchant of lowly status. Making a merchant's daughter the queen was obviously against the royal etiquette and traditional concepts.

Since the founding of the country, the status of the queen has been extremely noble, and they all come from prominent families or aristocratic families.

What's more, as an empress, she made a woman her queen, which would not be beneficial to the inheritance of her offspring.

You know, the issue of offspring is of vital importance to the royal family, and it is related to the future and stability of Dayan. Without an orthodox heir, the throne will not be able to continue, which will cause great turmoil and unrest.

Looking at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and asking her to take back her decision, Jinyang's face was extremely gloomy.

"I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more."

Jinyang stood up angrily and left.

The group of officials standing in the court headed by Lu Youqing formed a sharp contrast with the group of officials kneeling on the ground to oppose the queen, just like two camps.

Lu Youqing silently lowered his eyes to look at them, then turned and left without hesitation.

That group of ministers was more stubborn than Jinyang had imagined. They had been waiting outside the imperial study, trying to force her to change her mind.

This is their usual trick.

Unfortunately, Jinyang, who led the army from a remote and cold land to the capital step by step, would never be coerced by this group of people.

If an emperor were always constrained by his ministers, he would be too weak and incompetent.

"Those people are still standing outside?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

There was a hint of coldness in Jinyang's eyes. This could be seen as a test from their group of conservatives. The new policy a while ago had already affected their interests.

They would not sit still and wait for death, so they would unite and resist her immediately. At this moment, Jin Yang suddenly recalled a sentence Qin Ke had said unintentionally.

'The truth is always within the range of guns.'
