Upon hearing Xu Xunnan say ‘but,’ the Emperor of Jinwei Land’s initially eager and hopeful countenance immediately stiffened and dimmed.
He had believed there might be a straightforward resolution, that Xu Xunnan understood the challenges he faced and was willing to uphold Jinwei Land’s age-old traditions.
But it appeared she still had her own terms.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land remained silent, his gaze resting reluctantly upon her.
Gu Chaoyan continued, “However, this tradition is rooted in the belief that women lack the aptitude for cultivation, hence the prohibition. Today, many women clearly possess the talent for cultivation. So why restrict them?”
“The current rule is not the essence of Jinwei Land’s traditions; it is an overcorrection. ”
“Thus, my requests are not numerous. I merely seek the freedom for Jinwei
Land’s women to choose whether they wish to cultivate or not, without being arbitrarily stifled. At best, I will facilitate their marriages; at worst, they will be confined to domestic life. As for cultivation, as long as they display the
necessary talent, they should have the opportunity to receive guidance and
training within the pagoda.”
“As for other matters, Emperor of Jinwei Land, I do not seek riches, precious metals, jewelry, or wealth. Although if you are willing to offer these women positions within the intermediate court, I have no objections. Of course, I do not compel you to do so,” Gu Chaoyan remarked.
In essence, her aim was not to drastically transform Jinwei Land’s way of life on her own. Her primary objective was to secure the right for Jinwei Land’s women to cultivate, as stipulated in her mission. Once they stood on equal ground with men, they could pursue cultivation freely.
They could reserve the rest of their concerns for future endeavors. After all, it was wiser to teach people how to fish than to merely provide the fish.
Gu Chaoyan understood that she couldn’t arrange every detail herself; they should be able to take the reins directly. In that case, they might end up being more self-reliant.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land’s countenance twitched, growing increasingly unattractive. He was taken aback by the extent of her demands.
These were numerous and substantial requests.
Throughout history, the women of Jinwei Land had been barred from cultivation. If the country suddenly permitted them to cultivate, the repercussions down the line could be immense. Addressing the grievances of the citizens would be a formidable challenge. Furthermore, this was an age-old rule; how long would it take for people to embrace such a shift?
While it might be palatable now, what about the future? Would his descendants not revile him if the outcomes took an unfavorable turn?
Offering wealth, gold, silver, and jewelry was straightforward, but the complexity of this request weighed heavily on him.
The Emperor of Jinwei Land was troubled, evident in the weariness etched across his face. He looked up at Xu Xunnan and proposed, “Let’s deliberate on this matter thoroughly. It’s quite challenging. How about we consider an alternative approach? For instance, I can appoint some women to official positions and grant them power. They could oversee the affairs of women across the world. In doing so, their interests would be safeguarded, whether they choose to cultivate or not. Additionally, women primarily play a crucial role in supporting their husbands and educating their children. Is cultivation truly a top priority?”
The Emperor of Jinwei Land proposed.
Gu Chaoyan cast a glance at the King of Jinwei Land.
Honestly…
While this Emperor might be as timid as a mouse and held a fear of death,
After years of reigning as Emperor, he still possessed a degree of intelligence.
The ongoing negotiations were a testament to this. In a brief span, he had swiftly devised a solution that favored his own interests..
