Regarding the Women's Club, Cui Mingde didn't talk to me about many specific details, and I didn't have the heart to ask her what she was going to do at this moment. The Women's Club should not just be a small group for warmth, and I have already thought about this matter very clearly at the beginning of its establishment. Cui Mingde also sees this very clearly.

But we don't have a very clear idea of how to do it—or rather, we all have a general idea, but whether it's right or wrong, and whether it's going to be realized, is a big problem.

I was determined to leave this matter to Choi Myung-deok. She is a smart person, not only sensitive to words and deeds like Huan or Wan'er, but really aware of the overall situation and sensitive to her heart, the affairs of the women's society are complex, and the interests of all parties need to be balanced, but there is no effect in the short term - even if she sees the effect, it is not in the court, in the current society There is no significant benefit, and people like her are needed to do it. What's more, her own career also needs such help.

Unlike Ashao, Cui Mingde's career path was destined to be difficult from the beginning. A daughter has a weak constitution, and is naturally inferior to a man's family in the matter of fighting, even if a woman is allowed to be a military general without hindrance, there are very few people who are really competent. What's more, it is the civil officials in the localities and palaces and provinces who really govern the world and exercise the right to speak and political authority, not the generals who lead troops to fight. The second is that Dugu Shao has the talent to lead the army, but he has no ability to plan the situation, even if he makes an exception and gives a false name, it is only a threat to one side and a moment, but Cui Mingde is a man of the time, if he can really entrust him with a heavy responsibility, the achievements he can make - or threat - are by no means comparable to one handsome. Although the Qinghe Cui clan is a famous family, Qingliu's fame falls on the daughter of a family who is famous for her adherence to etiquette, but it will only be an obstacle rather than a help.

But because of this, I just want to help Cui Mingde and help her achieve the limit of being a minister, not only when I have my support, but even behind me, I can also hold the bull's ear of the world's women and plan for it.

Ever since Feng Yongchang's guilt was confirmed, I have often been thinking about where my so-called "ideals" should go. I already know Feng Yongchang's personality quite well, and I often beat it when I think about it. I thought that he was just a petty embezzlement, or a power to do some prestige, but the fact is that he not only swallowed up a large amount of money from the charity hall, opened up the whole channel up and down, but also did such things as forcibly marrying people's daughters as eunuchs—these things are completely contrary to my original intention.

I dare not imagine that in places where I can't see, so many undertakings that I have handled can really fall on my "ideals", or even just those that are truly beneficial to the people and the country.

I thought carefully about the people involved in what I wanted to do. I believe that most of them have more morals and bottom lines than Feng Yongchang, but even so, there is always a big gap between their own interests and my ideals.

At the top, there was a group of people around me, and everyone was planning for it, but what they focused on was not the same thing that I focused on. For example, Cui Mingde, if I didn't bring up the reform of the women's society, she would never take the initiative to do this, but would give me all kinds of power tricks and teach me how to eliminate political enemies. If I bring it up, she will be willing to take it, and maybe she will be closer to me because of it, but in the end, these things will not be her main business.

In the lower strata, thousands of people have long been accustomed to the customs that have been formed over thousands of years, and their main goal is not the so-called human rights, equality, or even studying or becoming an official, but only the word food and clothing. The results of the household came out, more than ninety percent of the people in my Great Zhou Dynasty lived by farming, these farmers can make a wish, or this year to collect an extra three or five buckets of rice, or the Ming Dynasty weaving a few more feet, to make a decent clothes, if the tax is less, you can eat a few more bowls of corn, add an extra dish, or every New Year's Festival, the government gives some wine and meat, the Hu people in the bazaar perform a good-looking play, the temple monks tell a wonderful half-story and half-edifying text, that is the most commendable good thing, as for whether the current emperor is a woman or a man, whether the officials are elected by them or appointed by them, it is the same for themFor them, topics like "equality between men and women" are like the tips of distant mountains and mountains seen through thick fog, which are both ignorant and distant.

In the upper and lower floors, let alone the people who actually do these things for me. Feng Yongchang is a perfect example of how these people who are caught in the middle and have been given authority from above are exerted to their subordinates. How to make what I want to do is really do what I want to do, without going in the opposite direction, without cutting corners, is really a big problem.

In addition to this incident, there is another thing that gradually began to bother me - I am only a person after all, even if I put forward such an ideal and practice it all my life, it will only be a few decades, and the progress of society and the improvement of women's status will not be achieved in a few decades. When I was there, there were people pushing for these things, and if I were gone, who would continue these things?

With my shallow intellect, I can't think of a foolproof plan so far. But I know that the key to this is not people, but institutions.

My subordinates should not be mere "princess members", but people who work diligently and wholeheartedly under the supervision of the system, and my ideals should not prosper because of my glory and decline because of my failure, but should be passed down from generation to generation under the guarantee of the system - or amended, but their purpose for the welfare of others should not be changed.

What I have done alone may be a small effort, but if there are thousands of small efforts like me, this world may be a little better than before. It would be even better if these small efforts of mine could provide a step for future generations, so that future generations could stand in the place where my predecessors had paved the way, see higher and do more.

Throughout the early spring, I was thinking about these things that I could not tell anyone—the only person I could say to them was far away in Ruzhou, and all the pen and ink I knew would be reviewed by my mother to a greater or lesser extent—while looking forward to the return of the Holy Driver and my Ah Huan.

February rushed by in my chaotic thoughts. At the beginning of March, when the weather warmed up, the holy car returned to Luang, and Shou Li and I went out of the city to greet him, and I took the whip and rode the horse, and displayed honor guards on both sides of the avenue, waiting for me.

The holy car was far more casual than ours, and my mother was dressed in civilian clothes, riding on a horse, and letting people take the reins, and walking slowly all the way, behind her, both men and women, riding on horses, or in regular clothes, or in civilian clothes, colorful, very gorgeous.

One of the brightest men in the crowd, dressed in purple clothes, rode a green horse, and slowly approached me, looking at me from afar and smiling. On the way parallel to the East Palace, Fang Kuan removed his outer robe, revealing a narrow-sleeved garment inside, and winked at me: "Look at this garment, it doesn't look like the thing you described to me before, which is called 'substitute floc'?
