    In the inner hall of the West Prince's Mansion, facing Xiao Yungui's somewhat unnatural expression and questions, Hong Yun'er smiled and took a sip of tea without answering. Su Sanniang said, "Your Highness, don't panic. Now that the King of the West is in charge of this country,  The atmosphere inside and outside the court was completely new. Since the Jintian Uprising, the Kingdom of Heaven has had women's camps, Jinxiu camps, women's halls and other yamen dedicated to serving women. When the king of heaven opened schools to recruit scholars, he also opened women's schools and martial arts schools.  There are also many female students within, so it can be said that it is not unusual for women to serve as generals in the Celestial Empire."

    Xiao Yungui listened calmly to Su Sanniang's story about this well-known incident, and thought to himself, usually such foreshadowing is followed by some kind of turning point.

    Sure enough, Su Sanniang changed the subject and said, "But after all, there are only a small number of women who serve as generals in Heaven. Many women in Heaven are still oppressed and their rights and interests are not protected."

    Xiao Yungui said strangely: "Where do you start talking about this? Since the Su Fu New Deal, although the West Palace protects private property, I have still ordered the abolition of the slave trade system under pressure. Now the Kingdom of Heaven still advocates monogamy and concubinage.  Heavy taxes must be paid, and half of the divorced property between husband and wife must be divided between the wife and the wife. All kinds of measures and policies are designed to protect women¡¯s rights.¡±

    Zhou Xiuying pursed her lips and snorted: "King Xi, you have so many and annoying military and political affairs, how can you care about these? It's annoying to say that although the Kingdom of Heaven has all the measures you mentioned, but when it comes down to it  The taste has changed.¡±

    Mu Yinghong also interjected: "Yes, let's take the heavy taxes on concubines as an example. Rich people still have seventeen or eighteen concubines in their homes. They don't care about the so-called heavy taxes at all."

    Xiao Yungui groaned and was about to say a few words.  Fu Shanxiang said softly: "There is also monogamy. In some families, the couple cannot have children. In order to continue the family line, the husband's family has no choice but to divorce his wife and remarry. The divorced wife has to leave home in tears and is helpless when she returns to her parents' home.  Damn, there are a lot of people who are looking for short-term goals."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "After all, these are a minority" Before he could finish his words, Han Baoying interrupted angrily: "It's not a minority. The most annoying thing is that some women asked the local government for help but could not get help. Moreover,  Even newsprint is unwilling to publish these miserable things about them.¡±

    Xiao Yungui wanted to tell the difference after hearing the words. Hu Jiumei continued: "Also, King Xi, although women like us who serve as generals in the Celestial Dynasty do not have our rights protected. Take me as an example, my husband and I  The official position of Lu Xian was the same, and the grade and title were not much different, but why the treatment was so different. Moreover, the Ministry of Civil Affairs made things difficult for female officials in the annual and political examinations. It is extremely difficult for female officials to be promoted."

    With the female voices in the room chattering around Xiao Yungui, the girls didn't give Xiao Yungui a chance to speak. For the first time, Xiao Yungui understood why it was said that there were three women in one drama.

    Xiao Yungui also admitted this. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had female officials, generals and champions, and many policies were introduced to protect women's rights after the New Deal, due to the deep-rooted concept of male superiority and female inferiority for thousands of years, many policies were still in the hands of male officials.  Hu Jiumei is right about exploiting loopholes and defending men.  Even in the honor system of official positions in the Kingdom of Heaven, the titles of women are compared with those of men of the same rank.  The remuneration is a few points lower. In other words, men and women are not paid the same amount for equal work.  This is still the case in the government of the Kingdom of Heaven, but the treatment of female workers in private factories and workshops is even worse. Many places are even discriminatory and do not recruit female workers. Some places recruit female workers, but the wages are only one-third of male workers.

    Xiao Yungui also heard about these situations, but he didn't pay too much attention to them. He had too many things to take care of, and he couldn't take care of them at all. Now facing a group of female officials and generals from the Kingdom of Heaven who were pouring out their bitter sonic skills, Xiao Yungui wanted to run away.  the meaning of.

    Finally, the girls stopped talking. Xiao Yungui looked at Hong Yun'er who had not spoken a word with a very ugly face and said: "Xuanjiao, did your women's army come to investigate today? What can I do?  Is it wrong?" Xiao Yungui knew that the person behind the scenes today must be Hong Yun'er and his wife Mo Ruofu. He knew it was her when he saw her calmly drinking tea and laughing.

    Hong Yun'er curled her lips and said angrily: "I don't dare, I don't dare. You, King Xi, are the ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven and the head of the family in this family. I have to listen to whatever you say."

    There was a thorn in the words, and Xiao Yungui knew that there was a reason for it. He didn't care about the people next to him, and said with a smile on his face, "If there is anything I did wrong, just say it."

    Hong Yun'er snorted and said: "Don't dare, how could the King of the West be wrong? The Nu family is pregnant again, so it's time to take care of the pregnancy and don't care about anything. Not even the slightest news about major military and political affairs has been heard.  , the slave family has to read the newsprint to know the battle reports of Guangdong and Guangxi. King Xi, you are so considerate and don¡¯t let me work hard, I should be satisfied."

    Xiao Yungui lamented, women are indeed fickle animals. Every month on this planet,A species that can be resurrected on the spot after losing blood is indeed very scary.  But it was impossible for Xiao Yungui to lose his prestige in front of outsiders. He immediately said with a straight face: "Speak carefully, the sinister king doesn't like to hear it!" Then he glanced at the girls, and the fierce gaze of the Western King, who was still powerful, swept across  , all the girls were a little panicked, and they followed Xiao Yungui and said calmly: "I have a few words to say to Queen Xi Wang alone, Baoying, you have lived in Xi Wang Mansion for the longest time, so I will take you to visit the garden first.  Go ahead."

    King Xi¡¯s stern face was quite scary, and Han Baoying didn¡¯t dare to say anything. After Su Sanniang waited for the woman to stand up and salute, they all left the inner hall, leaving only King Xi with a straight face and the angry Queen Xi.

    "What are you making a fuss about? Women's Rights Protection Association? You can imagine that, aren't you provoking conflicts between men and women in the Kingdom of Heaven? You still think the current situation is not chaotic enough. How many times have I told you, what kind of women are you?  When it comes to protecting the rights and interests of child laborers, it¡¯s okay for people to take the lead in making trouble about these things, but as rulers of the Kingdom of Heaven, we cannot take the lead. Once you take the lead, you will set the direction for public opinion, and there will be no room for change. You  How many times do I have to say it before I understand this truth? Society is progressing, civilization is developing, and things will naturally adjust slowly and naturally. If you suddenly raise it too high, it will be counterproductive." Xiao Yungui and others couldn't wait to go out.  When the preaching began, Xi Wang and Xi Wang Niang represented the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Heaven.  Everything they say and do today will have a profound impact, so many times you have to think twice before doing anything.

    Hong Yun'er snorted and said, "I didn't say a word from beginning to end, I just listened to you. You asked me to say it, and I said I also listened to you. What else do you want?"

    Xiao Yungui was discouraged all of a sudden. Hong Yun'er did not say anything just now, but Xiao Yungui was choked up. At that moment, Xiao Yungui could only apologize and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, are you dissatisfied that I gave you an errand in the Intelligence Department?"  It's off. Did you know that major military and political events have not been reported these days? Aren't you pregnant again? I'm worried that you are working too hard."

    Hong Yun'er's eyes turned red and she burst into tears: "Agui, it's not that I don't know that you care about me. It's just that I suddenly stopped caring about these things, and I feel empty and unsure. Moreover, Qingyun wrote to you again  After the letter came, you suddenly stopped letting me take care of things. I, I am really scared. "

    Xiao Yungui was stunned.  He didn't expect Hong Yun'er to feel this way at all. Could this be what people call a phobia of losing power?  People who hold high positions and hold power have a common problem, that is, they will feel empty and scared once they lose their power. I didn't expect Hong Yun'er to feel this way this time.  The last time Hong Yun'er was pregnant and gave birth to a child, although it was very difficult, Xiao Yungui did not reduce her power. This time, she did not expect such a big reaction.  And if a woman is suspicious, you won¡¯t let her take care of things.  There is no news from the outside, plus the letter from Song Qingyun.  This little girl must be thinking too much.

    Xiao Yungui gently held Hong Yun'er's hand and smiled slightly and said: "You little fool, you are overthinking. I'm just worried that you are working too hard. Let's do this. You can let Fu Shanxiang do the imperial edict. Secretary of Intelligence, you  Still in charge, you can know the news at any time, do less work and take care of yourself more. As for that women's rights association, we are really not suitable to come forward directly. Su Sanniang and the others are also generals of the Kingdom of Heaven, and they are not suitable to come forward. You can  Just find some suitable people among the people to establish this association and support it secretly behind the scenes. In this way, this association will have no official color and be completely a non-governmental organization. Even if there is some trouble in the end, we will have room for mediation. You say  is this okay?"

    Hong Yun'er then burst into tears and said with a smile: "You are the fool, you are overthinking it!" Xiao Yungui smiled and hugged Hong Yun'er and kissed her gently. The two lingered for a while before they separated, because Xiao Yungui was hungry  My stomach growled.

    Hong Yun'er smiled and ordered someone to serve the food again. Xiao Yungui wolfed it down. After a while, Xiao Yungui patted his belly and said, "I'm so full." Then he looked at Hong Yun'er and said, "By the way, Yun'er, yes.  Let me tell you more about the matter. The American Minister Wei Lian went to the north. I am worried that Qingyun and the others want to use the United States to mediate and end the war with Britain and France as soon as possible. But this time we can no longer send dead soldiers to carry out assassinations during the negotiations.  Come to destroy, is there any way to prevent them from peace talks? Moreover, Britain and France will definitely open their mouths in this peace talks. I am worried that Qingyun and the others will betray more sovereignty and interests. It will be very difficult for us to take back these things by then.  Troublesome thing."

    Hong Yun'er smiled slightly and said, "I have been thinking about it since I saw the news about Lie Wei Lian going north on the news a few days ago. I have an idea, but I don't know if it can work."

    Xiao Yungui said oh, and Hong Yun'er continued: "Have you noticed that Britain, France, the United States and other countries have always emphasized that we abide by a series of unequal treaties signed by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties with them, and we have abided by it now. This time  The main cause of the war was the BritishIf we want to amend the covenant, we can put forward the hypothesis that if the new covenant is made, will the old covenant be abolished? If the old covenant is abolished, then do we, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, also have to abide by the new covenant?  "

    Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said: "But we don't have to recognize the new treaty, because as a party that jointly and severally performs the contract, we have not been able to participate in the negotiation of the new treaty. We don't have to recognize the new treaty at all. At the same time,  Demand renegotiation of the new covenant?¡±

    Hong Yun'er smiled slightly and said: "Negotiating the new treaty is exactly what Britain and France want. If we want to disrupt the peace talks between Britain, France and the Qing Dynasty, we must participate in the negotiations openly. If Britain and France really accept American mediation and agree to reopen negotiations,  We can definitely issue a note and openly request to participate in the four-party talks between the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, Britain, France and the United States, and turn the negotiations into five-party talks!"
