Chapter 10 Who said that women are inferior to men?
When Tang Taizong saw Fang Ziyan's gushing mouth when he talked about tea, he heard him say that he was really a little professional, and I didn't know some out-of-the-way knowledge, but this little teacher still had some skills.
"Fang Ziyan, why do you know so much about tea, and can clearly understand this level, I'm afraid you didn't learn it from books." Tang Taizong tasted another sip of tea, and when he tasted tea, he sounded like tea culture, but he was also happy.
"Back to the emperor, the grandfather of the grass people is specially for the tea merchants to grow tea, to the grandfather's generation, the grandfather himself built a simple tea shed on the side of the road, for the people passing by to make a bowl of tea to drink, the father's generation was fortunate to be blessed by the emperor, opened a small tea house in Chang'an City." Fang Ziyan replied that his ancestors have been engaged in the tea business for generations, and he has grown up in the tea pile since he was a child.
Tang Taizong nodded, and threw a few more questions to Fang Ziyan, seeing that although this Fang Ziyan looked like a weak scholar, he was quite knowledgeable, and he could say a thing or two about history, poetry and songs.
Tang Taizong checked the prince's homework again, the prince does not grow up on weekdays, and it is strange today, the prince can also say the truth about the questions he throws, so Tang Taizong was happy, waved his hand, and rewarded Fang Ziyan with a position of Taifu.
Many civil and military officials in the side hall noticed General Li Tong's pig-liver-colored face, and smelled the subtle atmosphere between him, Wen Xiangyu and Fang Ziyan, one by one, you look at me, I will leave you, I don't know how to speak.
These three of them can't afford to offend anyone, so all the officials lowered their heads, drank tea and chewed pastries and dried fruits, and no one made a sound, and suddenly there was only the sound of white porcelain bowls hitting the mouth of teacups, blowing tea, drinking tea, and chewing pastries and dried fruits.
Everyone in the side hall was silent for a long time, but Wei Xian, the secretary of the ministry, opened his mouth to break such an embarrassing atmosphere, he looked at General Mo Lin and said: "General Mo Lin, I heard that the third lady Ling Zheng is about to give birth recently, General Mo Lin is really gratifying, I wish General Mo a young general here."
"Thank you, Lord Wei, for borrowing your kind words." General Mo Lin hugged his fist towards Lord Wei, and the expectant wife Ye Wanqiu appeared in his mind, the curvature of his mouth slowly rose, and a doting smile hung from the corner of his mouth to the corner of his eyes, this was the first child he and Ye Wanqiu had had since they got married, and he naturally valued it very much in his heart.
"I heard that General Mo has mentioned three daughters, it seems that General Mo is very fond of your daughter, however, this general's mansion can not lack a young general, you look at General Li, there are three young generals in his general's mansion, in the future, you can inherit his father's business, for the emperor to make great contributions, women, embroidery at home, to be a female red, in the future out of the cabinet to marry, after all, it is not as good as a man."
Zheng Miao, the governor of the capital, continued Wei Xian's words and said, Zheng Miao was originally under Li Tong, and he was also rewarded with the rank of governor of the capital by taking advantage of Li Tong's promotion.
"General Mo, there is a very effective Chinese medicine for children in the old man's doctor's office, and the old man is not spread by ordinary people, as long as the general and his wife follow the prescription prescribed by the old man, the two of them drink at the same time for seven seven and forty-nine days, that is a hundred shots, if the general needs it, although he sends someone to find the old man, the old man will give you the secret recipe, to ensure that you get a big fat boy in one fell swoop, and add a brave major general to the general's mansion."
Mr. Hong Miaochun, the head of the Imperial Medical Department, had reached the age of sixties, and he touched his beard, which was already snow-white, and then patted his chest and assured General Mo Lin.
"Hey, Mr. Hong, you are really salty and eat radishes and worry about it, maybe General Mo's third lady Ling Zheng can give birth to a young general this time, I, I still prefer a daughter, but my three ladies, a daughter is reluctant to give me, it's a pity!"
Li Tong pretended to be sorry and shook his head, in fact, he was proud in his heart, he turned his head and looked at Li Mang, Li Fu, Li Hu The three dogs, although these three dogs are not manufacturable, they are reckless and stupid, but they are also men, men and men, they are better than women.
Mo Lin, who was sitting, listened to their words, and the words in the open and secret really made him a little crying and laughing, he was in this era of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was in the palace or in the homes of ordinary people, ninety-nine out of a hundred were patriarchal people, and they all regarded men as treasures and women as grassy people, but he must be one in a hundred people.
Although he was a male military general since he was a child, he also accepted the teaching of Mr. Private School since he was a child, learned the culture of foreign Hu people, followed his father to fight in the east and west, galloped on the battlefield for many years, he has seen how many lives and deaths, and he has already looked down on everything.
"Thank you Mr. Hong for your kindness, I don't need it for the time being, I am destined to give birth to a boy and a girl, and I will not be able to disobey God's will, besides, there was an ancient Mulan who served in the army on behalf of my father, who said that women are not as good as men, if Mrs. is Ben, she will give birth to a daughter, and when she grows up in the future, teach her to ride a horse-drawn bow and shoot arrows, put on armor, wrap herself in a windbreaker, and be heroic, not necessarily lose to a man!"
Mo Lin is actually very disgusted with the gossip between these civil and military officials, since the eldest lady Su Mengli and the second lady Liu Yiyi gave birth to three daughters for him successively, the stomach of the third lady Ye Wanqiu is stared at every day and is speculated and predicted.
If Ye Wanqiu gave birth to a daughter, those opposing factions who were eyeing each other would be greatly relieved, if he gave birth to a son, if he became a major general in the future, those thieves were frightened, afraid of stealing their limelight and official positions, and sometimes, when he saw these intrigues in the palace, he felt tired for them.
Since Tang Taizong ascended the throne, the imperial court has now been divided into three major factions, one faction is headed by Li Tong, uniting those disgruntled old ministers who have not been named big officials, and the other faction is naturally headed by him.
Although he didn't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, naturally there were some people who stood under his door in his name in order to confront Li Tong. There is also a faction led by Situ Wen Xiangyu, and some literati and scholars maintain a neutral faction, but he feels that these neutral factions live more freely and chicly.
Thinking that he began to put on heavy armor at the age of eighteen and fight on the battlefield with his father, how many bloody battlefields he has seen with his own eyes over the years, the soul of the sword, the horse leather shroud, the mourning is all over the field, although those are invading the Hu people, but they are also iron-clad men, tens of thousands of lives died in an instant, sad and lamentable.
Ever since Tang Taizong ascended the throne and served the imperial court, he had nightmares every night, full of corpses and bones all over the mountains, or rivers full of blood, slashing his head and covering his face, surging towards him, engulfing him in an instant.
At night, when he was resting in bed, the sword was naturally placed beside him, and one hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, although the general's mansion was heavily guarded inside and out, but for so many years, he had not slept well, and he did not dare to sleep well.
When Tang Taizong ascended the throne, he asked him to personally go to the opposing faction before the emperor ascended the throne in the name of his confidant, and he had to accept the order of the tragic case of the destruction of those rebellious ministers and thieves.
Inside, there are the enemies who absconded from the chaotic ministers and thieves who were wiped out in the court, and the remaining forces such as the Turkic Liu Heimin who was temporarily defeated by him, as well as all kinds of fine works sent by the Hu people, how could these wolf dogs staring at him make him feel at ease.
It is said that his head is in those remnants of the Hu Kingdom, which can reach a huge city, and if he is not careful, thousands of people up and down the mansion of General Mo will have to be washed in blood, and he must not take it lightly.
Although Tang Taizong has been on the throne for a long time, the emperor has a way to govern the country, and now the country is peaceful and peaceful, all countries are worshipped, and although the surrounding Liu Heimin, Turkic, Turpan and other places have surrendered and surrendered, there have been many fewer wars in recent years, but I don't know when a bloody storm will suddenly set off.
He hoped that it would always be so calm and quiet, and that there would never be another war, and once the war happened, it would be a time when the horse leather shrouded and the bones were full of bones.
When Gonggong Zhang, who was carrying the dust in the crook of his arm, arrived at the side hall, it was already the beginning of the unitary time, and Gonggong Zhang walked into the side hall and announced to everyone with a sharp voice: "Masters, the miscellaneous family is ordered by the emperor, please move to the Taihe Palace."
Father-in-law Zhang caught a glimpse of Li Tong and his three sons, they looked giggling, as if nothing had happened, although Father-in-law Zhang was angry in his heart, his face was silent, pretending that nothing had happened, and still grinning lightly.
When the civil and military officials heard Zhang's words, they all got up from their chairs, patted the official uniforms that had been slightly wrinkled due to sitting for a long time, and paced out of the side hall with their hands in their hands.
Mo Lin led the green dragon and the red tiger out of the threshold of the side hall, and looked up at the sunset in the sky, the sunset was so beautiful, the sun had changed color, fiery red, without the mania and heat of noon. Looking at it from a distance, the slanting sun sprinkled on its face, and it immediately turned reddish-brown.
The twilight of the setting sun always carries a kind of poetic romance, the sky under the twilight is so beautiful, the distant sky is dotted with clouds, and the afterglow of the slanting sun reflects the color of the mountains and waters, intertwined with each other into a fluttering picture, which is magnificent.
