Chapter 32: The Emperor's Temptation 2
He didn't know what was in his mind, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
At this moment, I heard Yang Ling say: "Anyway, the minister doesn't agree with this idea, the daughter I spent a lot of effort to raise is not sent to someone else's house to be rubbed, I can beat if I want to, and scold if I want to." ”
"If that's the case, I'd rather go home. ”
"So, what did your sister-in-law say?" the Emperor asked.
The reason why I asked was that the emperor felt that there were many royal children, and it would be good if someone could marry the daughter of the Yang family.
The Yang family doesn't seem to have much power, but it has a good reputation, and the dowry will not be small.
But there is a problem that the Yang family is more difficult to deal with.
The daughter of the Yang family is not easy to marry.
The tigress of the Yang family is really rectifying others, and no one else knows.
He was ready to test the bottom line of the Yang family.
I heard Yang Ling say: "My aunt said that after getting married, you should honor your in-laws, but that is based on the love of your in-laws. ”
The subtext is that if the in-laws are not loving, don't think about the filial piety of the Yang family.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, feeling that the daughter of the Yang family was only afraid that she was very strong.
The idea of wanting Yang Ling's daughter to marry into the royal family has diluted a lot all of a sudden.
If you don't have the ability, don't provoke the daughter of the Yang family.
"With your aunt here, if your daughter suffers any loss, I'm afraid that your aunt will get it back a hundredfold. The emperor said.
This speculation was guessed by him, and even he dared to calculate.
Others won't let it go.
"Huh?" Yang Ling looked at the emperor a little speechlessly.
The emperor was a little distracted at the moment.
Because I think of it, my own child who keeps saying that women are virtuous.
If it is replaced by the Yang family's aunt and grandmother, it will definitely be different.
What will it look like?
His mind ran farther and farther away like a wild horse on the loose.
I simply forgot my excuses.
Find Yang Ling to play chess.
Seeing that His Majesty began to wander, Yang Ling did not disturb.
He also recalled that he had heard his daughter talking to her sister-in-law not long ago.
He was shocked.
"Some men who blindly trample women under their feet probably pop out of the cracks in the stones, not from their mothers. ”
"Poof!" Yang Ling almost squirted.
After he listened, he had no intention of leaving again, so he stopped where he was, listening to what the two women were going to talk about?
His heart was a little helpless, and his aunt really dared to say it.
"They have repeatedly belittled the status of women, and they don't want to think about how high the status of men born by women is? ”
"Yes, indeed. Yunshuang nodded.
In Yang Ling's opinion, his sister-in-law was a little unreliable at this time.
How to look at these statements, it is a fallacy.
The Fourth Book of Women is not written by a man.
It is written by a woman.
He was going to listen to it again.
I heard Yu Ying say: "You have also read the female commandment, which is written by Cao everyone." ”
"I've seen it, Ban Zhao, everyone in the Han Dynasty. ”
"When she wrote this female commandment, her original intention was to target the women in the backyard of the Han Palace. ”
"You also know that there are many powerful queen mothers in the Han family: Lu Pheasant, Empress Dowager Dou, Queen Mother, and many princesses interfering in court politics. ”
When Ban Zhao wrote, it was more to let those noble ladies abide by the rules one by one. ”
"But it didn't work out. ”
"Probably this Cao family didn't do the same as the books she wrote herself, and those women didn't listen to them at all. ”
On the contrary, because "The Female Commandment" was written by everyone, and it was written very much in line with the hearts of men, it became popular. ”
Hearing this, Yang Ling's heart was a little touched, women have rules and regulations, men don't, only a few big goals.
"There is also the book "The Analects of Women", which was written by five sisters, and the five of them have never married in their lives, but they have written a book that instructs women on how to live in marriage. ”
"Unmarried?"
"Yes, I'm not married. ”
"I have not humbly served my in-laws or raised my children, but I have a serious attitude to guide others. ”
"They left their names behind, and they ended up pitting other women. ”
They have forgotten the saying: Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”
Yun Shuang shook his head, he really couldn't imagine what kind of life a woman would live according to the rules and regulations in the book?
"Auntie, I know, I won't be stupid to do everything. ”
"Yes, Yunshuang, I asked you to read the fourth book of women, not to let you do it, but to let you know if there is a place that can be used for you. ”
When Yang Ling heard this, he decided to find a place to digest it.
The education of his sister-in-law made him not know what to say.
There was a change in his mind that he didn't even notice about himself.
Over the years, after he was treated by his aunt, he naturally knew that women were not good at stubble.
But his education from the very beginning was that men were inferior to women.
This is a social and environmental issue.
Subconsciously, he has a little contempt for women.
Even the most basic question of women being human beings is forgotten.
It wasn't until he heard the conversation between Yun Shuang and Yu Ying again and again that he woke up a little.
When I talked to the emperor, it was revealed.
The two of them fell into deep thought, and it was not until an attendant came in that they woke up.
After taking a sip of tea, the emperor said, "Yang Qing, you have changed a lot now. ”
Yang Ling said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's okay, I finally live a little more clearly now." ”
"It seems that you have made up your mind to educate your daughter well. ”
"Yes, the minister is not as good as Your Majesty, Your Majesty's daughter is not worried about getting married, and there are people to support her. ”
"His subordinates are thin, so they have to educate their daughters harder. ”
"Why do you think that?"
Yang Ling looked at the emperor and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, if all the women become female models in Delhi, what will the whole society be like?"
“......”
The emperor did not squeak, this question is not easy to answer.
Because he didn't know what Yang Ling wanted to say, but he was basically speaking for women.
"Your Majesty, the minister recited a few words from the "Female Analects" to Your Majesty: The five chickens sang and wore clothes. It's time to rinse up, and feel free to make up. Pick up firewood and go to the kitchen early. ”
"Aunt Aweng, the head of her husband's family. Don't dare to accompany you, don't dare to talk. If there is an order, listen to it. ”
"If the husband goes out, he must remember the journey. I didn't return at dusk, looked at each other, turned off the lights to warm the meal, waited for the knock on the door, didn't learn from the lazy woman, and settled down first. ”
This is how it feels that a woman is not the master of the house at all, but a slave in marriage. ”
When the minister found out, he felt terrible. ”
"Could it be that my daughter is going to live this kind of life when she marries into her in-law's family?"
Yang Ling paused and said, "In the past few years, the minister has stayed outside for a while, and some places especially respect the husband and wife. thinks that such a woman is extremely chaste. ”
"I also deliberately set up a torii. ”
"Your Majesty, some people in order to set up the archway, after someone died, the husband's family buried the surviving people alive, saying that it was the woman's martyrdom who died. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Ling's face was very ugly.
Fortunately, the surviving mother's family is still good to her daughter.
If you don't believe it, you will find out.
Then report the crime.
Only to find out that the deceased was pregnant, and one corpse and two lives were not to be said.
And at the end, the surviving people should be struggling desperately, the coffin board is full of blood, and the fingers and toes are broken, which is miserable.
After Yang Ling said this fact, the emperor's face was not very good-looking.
Archway, chaste archway.
It seems that someone below has reported it and wants to commend it in a big way.
Commendation!
The emperor was furious.
If it were really commended, wouldn't there be more martyrs!
And it was a living martyrdom.
"Your Majesty, this is still being reported. ”
"There is also the kind of mother's family for the so-called chastity archway, longing for their daughter to die, this situation is more. ”
"After seeing so much, I finally understood what my little aunt said, women live too miserably. ”
"Hey!" the emperor sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Yang Ling continued: "In those days, I have also seen several female moral models. ”
"If the man in the family dies, then she will be almost as dead, and she will have to let the young children raise her. ”
The emperor was somewhat stunned.
In his heart, his mother still worked hard to do things after his father's death.
Don't hold back his son.
When the minister saw that kind of woman, he hated it. But the aunt said they were also victims. ”
"It's like breaking the wings of an eagle when you were a child, and when the eagle grows up, you blame the eagle for not being able to fly, and the eagle is also very aggrieved. Yang Ling said.
When he heard Yu Ying's words, Yang Ling was amused at first.
But after laughing, it is sad.
Yes, women were not given opportunities from an early age in order to allow them to grow.
When something happens, they are naturally at a loss.
The emperor looked at Yang Ling, a little speechless.
Although these words sound a little weird.
Admittedly, there is some merit in his words.
The emperor also had to admit that the status of women was low.
Even the so-called noble girl is very different from the noble girl in the past.
The kind of woman educated by the hardcore female four books is blindly weak.
For men, it's both good and bad.
The benefit is good control.
The disadvantage is that you can't be the master of everything.
That kind of weak woman who is submissive can't support the entire backhouse at all.
"Yang Qing, there is some truth in your words, I heard that your family has opened a boudoir school, so I will give an inscription. The Emperor groaned.
He didn't want to make a huge change, but there were things that could be done.
After learning the inscription for the Yang family, it can be regarded as supporting, and it will save someone from finding trouble.
After saying that, the emperor wrote down four words.
"Your Majesty, the minister must keep it well and treat it as an heirloom. "Yang Ling thanked the emperor.
With this signboard, it saved a lot of trouble, and Yang Ling was smiling.
"By the way, I had a dream during this time. ”
When the emperor said this, he hesitated for a while, should he say the scene in the dream?
He couldn't make up his mind.
When Yang Ling heard this, he looked at the emperor.
I saw a trace of hesitation on the emperor's face.
"The dream was beautiful, but then I forgot about it. The emperor did not say anything in the end.
"Dreams are like that, you wake up and forget them. Yang Ling said.
He wasn't going to ask.
As a courtier, it is natural to know each other, and if the emperor doesn't want to say it, don't ask it.
The emperor was a little confused at the moment, so he let Yang Ling go down.
He is wise and martial, and he has become a maritime merchant in his dream, and he is still beautiful.
Even after sobering up, there is still some aftertaste.
When you say it, no one should believe it,
The emperor woke up from a dream, but he couldn't prove it.
To ask or not to ask?
There will be a lot of questions.
The words came to my lips a few times, and finally chose not to ask.
He felt like she wouldn't admit anything.
After waking up from his dream, he once ordered someone to clean the entire dormitory, but nothing was gained.
The aunt and grandmother of the Yang family should be very capable, he knows this.
So I intend not to offend this person.
Does the dream have anything to do with her?
The emperor did not determine.
He didn't want to be sure.
It is necessary to make sure that the dream is related to the aunt and grandmother of the Yang family.
Wouldn't it be even more sleepless?
Afraid of having your dreams controlled every day?
Fortunately, after that dream, he didn't dream about it again when he went to sleep.
But the after-effects of that dream were severe.
His feet would hurt from time to time.
It's as if after being tied up, the scene of forced foot binding will appear again.
For foot binding, the emperor was extremely bored in his heart.
This disgust erupts in the moment of song and dance.
At this royal banquet, the new kabuki deliberately wrapped her feet small when she danced on the white drums.
Wearing red dancing shoes, like a lotus petal.
Colorful.
It can be said that as soon as this song and dance girl appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.
Looking at the little feet one by one, they were a little tempted.
But after the emperor saw it clearly, he was so angry that he couldn't do it.
Directly dropped the cup in his hand.
"Come on, pull this cheap woman down and beat her to death, and if there is such a person who ignores the words of the saint, he will also be killed. ”
"Your Majesty. ”
Kabuki was so frightened that her face was pale.
In her opinion, she is not wrong, she is just seeking novelty.
She's just trying.
Then the emperor stood up and said, "Why don't you pull it down!"
At this time, someone came up and pulled down, and the kabuki who was so scared that tears came down.
At this moment, the people at the banquet are all kneeling on the ground.
Don't dare to look up.
His Majesty the Emperor's face had turned iron-blue.
I was so angry that my nose was fluttering.
The reason why he was so angry was because Yu Ying hoped that he could stop this kind of foot-binding situation.
He didn't take it to heart at all.
also thought that it was done in a lowly place, and it was impossible to appear in the court.
As a result, it only took a long time for the royal song and dance to appear.
This is a slap in the face!
The emperor will be so angry that he can't do it, and this kind of atmosphere must not be left unchecked.
If it was him before, he would ignore it at most.
Now it's like eating dynamite.
His feet hurt a little when he saw those little feet.
It seems that in the daughter country in the dream, when she first began to bind her feet, she was also doing it by a lowly prostitute.
I don't like that kind of big family very much.
But later this atmosphere gradually spread to the people, and men from good families followed suit in order to be favored.
The feet are getting smaller and smaller.
Even small feet have become the standard for beauties.
Even the wealthy began to accept it, because women preferred the kind of small-footed men.
It is said that the posture is enchanting.
And after wrapping your little feet, it's not easy to get out.
The atmosphere was twisted like this.
So will one day the women of the whole world be wrapped in that way?
In fact, what's so nice about deformed feet?
It's just ugly!
When the emperor thought about it, he was furious.
After getting angry, he flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily.
There was no concern at all, those who were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Those concubines, princes and grandchildren all knelt on the ground one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the emperor walked away.
They walked together with some friendship and asked each other about it.
Why is my father so angry?
The outcome is unknown.
There are also people who sigh in their hearts, such a good beauty, was destroyed by her father's hot hand.
Of course, there is no shortage of that kind of smart people, who can hear the emperor's words, and they are particularly disgusted with the kind of not caring for their bodies.
I vaguely guessed that it was the dancing girl's feet that caused the trouble.
