Chapter 198 Sympathy
"It is said that when the people of the capital learned of the defeat, it was this group of women who stepped forward to maintain peace among the people."
"When it comes to chivalry, these women are truly worthy of it."
"If they knew the Xiongnu's demands, I believe they would take the initiative to stand up and go to the Beijing area on behalf of all the women in the world to dedicate themselves to the country."
The emperor's hand that was knocking on the dragon throne suddenly stopped.
He looked deeply at the minister who had spoken.
Is this happening?
Immediately, the emperor showed interest and asked:
"Oh? I didn't know there were such a group of loyal women in the capital?"
When the others heard that the emperor was interested in this, they all stood up to answer.
"Your Majesty, this is true. I have also heard about the heroic deeds of these women, and they rescued vulnerable groups such as women and children."
"Your Majesty, I heard that this group of women founded a women's martial arts school. Most of the civilian women in the capital are apprentices in this martial arts school. I think there should be quite a few people."
"I believe that such a loyal woman, upon learning that the court is in a dilemma, will take the initiative to ask to join Beijing..."
All civil and military officials have daughters.
Although most of them would not be elected given their power, everyone wants to show their loyalty at this time, and they still have to stand up and set an example when necessary.
At this time, when I heard someone recommend a group of women from the public, and the number of women in the martial arts hall and the number of rescuers implied in the words, it was estimated that they would not be less than the three thousand people mentioned by the Huns.
Doesn’t this just solve the urgent problem?
As a result, all the ministers were unusually united.
They tacitly pushed Shen Wei and other women from the martial arts school to the front.
Under the compliments, the emperor's weighing of the pros and cons and the instigation of the ministers, the fate of the women who were sent to the Huns was decided by the men in the palace.
When the imperial edict arrived at the martial arts hall.
Shen Wei, Xiaoying and others were confused.
Listening to the eunuch's sharp voice, Shen Wei had a hundred thousand question marks in his head.
This imperial edict came in a very strange way.
Why did the emperor want to summon her and Xiaoying to the palace at this time?
She didn't believe that the emperor, as the supreme ruler, would be interested in the two of them. Just based on what they had done, the emperor could just wave his hand and give them something as a reward.
Why do they need to enter the palace to meet the emperor?
Shen Wei couldn't figure it out. After receiving the imperial edict, he took out some silver from his pocket and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here, eunuch. I'll use this little money to buy you some tea in your spare time."
"I wonder why the emperor summoned us?"
"We are all country girls. If we accidentally offend the emperor, we will die. Please give us some advice, so that we can feel at ease."
Seeing that Shen Wei was sensible, the eunuch smiled and took the silver.
After a moment of silence, he whispered:
"When the ministers in the court learned about the heroic deeds of the young lady and the women of the martial arts hall, they realized that the young lady had great righteousness in her heart. During this period, she not only provided food for the court, but also calmed down many public opinions."
"The ministers all believed that after the young lady learned about the dispute between the Xiongnu and the imperial court, she would definitely come forward and ask to enter the country. After hearing about the young lady's actions, the emperor allowed the young lady and all the female students of the martial arts school to marry off in the Beijing area."
That’s all I have to say.
Seeing Shen Wei's face full of shock and astonishment, the eunuch paused, sighed slightly, with a bit of pity and sympathy in his eyes.
It's really a pity to see such a huge compliment put on their heads.
