Chapter 214 Continue
The emperor had no reaction after hearing this.
Just uttered a few words lightly:
"go on."
Shen Wei took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and continued in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Second, women can also enter government, business, and the military, and can be elected to participate in literary and martial arts competitions. They should not be confined to the harem, taking care of their husbands and children just because they are women."
"Third, I hope my daughter can also have the right of inheritance! Whether it is land, shops, or other inheritances, my daughter will have a share. Sons and daughters have equal inheritance rights!"
The above regulations are not easy to implement, and even in this era, they are almost unrealistic.
This is not something that can be changed by one person alone.
But Shen Wei is willing to be the first woman to apply for her rights!
Someone has to do this, someone has to pay with blood and life, and give everything, before things will change.
Only by changing can they realize that women can also have it, only then will their consciousness be awakened, and only then will there be a steady stream of people who will continue to fight for power and everything that belongs to them.
"Children are equal?!"
"Enter the government or engage in business?"
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
The emperor frowned, and the overwhelming majesty tried to drown Shen Wei like a tide. There was not even a sound of breathing in the entire hall.
Shen Wei could even hear his own heart pounding.
She knows what she's talking about.
Facing the emperor's oppression, Shen Wei suppressed his fear and raised his head calmly. The emperor's changeable face was reflected in his clear eyes.
"I understand what I am talking about more than ever before."
"If women are really so fragile and incompetent, so cowardly, then why did His Majesty put the words 'great benevolence and great righteousness' on my head when he summoned me? Why did he think that we could put an end to the war?"
"When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, men are in power, serving as officials outside and heads of households inside. Women are like golden sparrows, confined to the backyard and can only rely on their husbands to survive."
"How come when the country is in turmoil, women are given courage and strength, crowned with the words benevolence and righteousness, and can use their weak bodies to settle the feud between the two countries?"
"Since women have to bear the consequences of the court's ruin, why can't we treat everyone equally when we enjoy happiness and power, Your Majesty, can you tell me?"
The emperor was shocked by Shen Wei's earth-shaking words.
He felt as if someone had hit him hard on the back of the head, awakening the memory that he had deliberately forgotten.
At this moment, the aggressive Shen Wei standing in front of him with a calm and cold tone seemed to have turned into another person, becoming the elder sister who had protected him and taught him martial arts since he was a child.
The eldest sister’s mother was of humble origin, and she was never loved by the late emperor since childhood.
The late emperor then casually assigned his eldest sister to be raised by the then Concubine De, who was also his biological mother.
他与长姐的感情极好，他受欺负了，长姐会去替他出头，即使那个人是当时先皇最宠爱的皇子，长姐也会将他揍到跪地求饶。
Since he was young, his eldest sister has always been ahead of him in everything and blocked countless arrows for him.
But when my eldest sister was sixteen years old, the late emperor ordered her to marry the Huns.
Before leaving, the eldest sister said: "She is a member of the royal family, but she has never enjoyed half of the royal dignity. Why is she the first to sacrifice when the country is in turmoil?"
'If the court belongs only to men, why should women bear the consequences?'
'If the court is divided between men and women, why don't women have any say?'
