Section 187: The Revolution of Society

"Number of Heroes...... On success or failure...... a one-armed old man riding on a horse holding the reins with only one hand, but his eyes did not look at the road ahead, and he was muttering the song he had just heard, as if he had entered an indescribable state.

Riding alongside the horses were several carriages that were not luxurious, and Jiang Tian, who was sitting in the car, listened to Jiang Hu's broken gong voice with incomplete tones, and sang these few lines over and over again. I have the heart to remind the lyrics behind, but I am afraid that the old man will not be able to hang on his face. As when they came, there was still a group of women in the car, but now their moods were completely different. Not long ago, at the birthday banquet, His Majesty the Emperor unsurprisingly granted Lord Jiang's request to eliminate the slavery status of these music girls, and not only that, but also authorized them to be promoted to royal female officials, and taught the royal children to learn the rhythm of the royal family! It can be said that it is a step to the sky.

Originally, this matter was discussed by Jiang Tian and Zhang Tao, and it was not easy for them to reach out for a while, just because Lord Jiang wanted to find a way out for these women, Zhang Tao took the opportunity to promote the concept of equality, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't know that nerve was wrong, and he directly made them become court officials, but they could not live in the palace, and they had a certain degree of personal freedom, and they married themselves. It's just that if there is a summons, you need to enter the palace to explain the music to the royal family and some noble children, and the funny thing is that there is only one prince now, and this prince almost grows up in the Jiang Mansion as long as he has leisure, so even if they need to work, they don't need to enter the palace at all.

There is no need to mention the excitement in the hearts of the women, if it weren't for the sake of remaining reserved, I'm afraid I would have to learn from the old lady Jiang to hum a little song. Only Linglong still had that cold expression, and she did not get rid of the joy of the sea of suffering, but looked at the sky outside the car window with a trace of miserable eyes. Because it was not long ago, because of the huge change in their identities, these music girls were summoned by the queen to the banquet on the side of the officials, Linglong saw the queen so close for the first time, and it was also the first time to see a person who could really rehabilitate Zhaoxue for her father, so when these women knelt on the ground to see the driver, she couldn't stop trembling because of the tension in her heart, fortunately, everyone was the first time to ask the queen for peace, and no one knew how to tremble and feared that the etiquette was not careful, so no one felt that she had anything abnormal. It's just that when everyone else has already gotten up, only this beauty in the front row is still prostrate on the ground, which makes everyone's eyes focus on her.

"Look, look at ......" Before Linglong had a chance to state her grievances, Princess Lanxin, who was sitting next to the queen, took the lead and said: "It is said that our Lord Jiang is young and romantic, and today I know that the rumors are true, look at the women in this mansion are all beautiful and beautiful, isn't it that the beautiful sisters in Beijing have been accepted into the Jiang Mansion?" I'm going to see how this frightened look looks ......."

After speaking, she walked in front of Linglong regardless of the reserve of the princess, and the surrounding music girls all automatically backed down, and then she asked the maids around her to help Linglong up, and Linglong, who didn't know what Princess Lanxin had planned, had to stand up first, and then the princess who had her back to the queen pretended to squint her eyes and look at it, and then whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "You don't want to trap the Jiang family and never recover!" ”

After speaking, regardless of Linglong's stunned expression, he turned his head and put on a smiling face and said to the queen: "Imperial sister-in-law, no wonder Lord Jiang wants to ask for the divorce of these women, this is obviously to make the beauty smile!" ”

Because the atmosphere at this time is still relatively harmonious, and there are only some female dependents here, so Princess Lanxin uses praise to compare Linglong, Jiang Tian is compared to the king of Zhou You, the princes of the beacon opera, and no one will have any political views on this statement, but after seeing the delicate face, many people still agree with this statement, not to mention Jiang Tian, who is strong in blood, is the court bigwigs who are usually dignified and not confused, seeing such a stunning woman with a cold and resentful expression, I have to do whatever it takes to make a beauty laugh.

Originally, the queen still had some guilt about Zhang Tao for these women, and the instinct of jealousy made her think that Zhang Tao might be a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, otherwise she would be out of the country, and what did she do with these women as female officials? Isn't it for the convenience of trysts in the future! But after listening to Princess Lanxin's metaphor, I felt that it might not be what I thought, just with Jiang Tian's fairly passable appearance and the status of a very young minister, all these women in the mansion were not included in the house early. Now it seems that this kid wants to please the girl, maybe how to bargain with the emperor behind his back, this courtier is not afraid of some problems, and lust is not a big problem, what I am afraid of is that you have no problem at all, which is a headache. The queen, who let go of the burden in her heart, no longer investigates the reason why Linglong refused to get up just now, Xu is this girl didn't expect that she would have such a big change, she was stupid.

This is the reason for Linglong's melancholy, she never said a word again during the whole banquet, Princess Lanxin's intimidation really scared her, although she didn't have any deep affection with Jiang Tian, but she didn't want to be involved with the Jiang family because of herself, even if she knew in her heart that she might never have this opportunity again, but the entanglement in her heart still made her unable to speak. What's more, the princess stared at herself, as long as she had any changes, she would be disturbed by this shrewd princess. Xi Yun, who was still curled up behind Jiang Tian, had the same gloomy expression, her eyes always glanced at Linglong from time to time, she was sitting not far from Princess Lanxin, but she saw the whole process clearly, and knew Linglong's inner plan, at that time, her heart jumped to her throat, for fear that her hard-won brother would be affected by Linglong, but fortunately, she was prevented in time and no irreparable mistakes occurred.

So when the banquet was over, Xi Yun found a gap where no one was beside her, and told Jiang Tian everything she had seen and heard, and Master Jiang really showed a wry smile after hearing it, but did not comment on it. Linglong didn't know what her brother thought, how could she be indifferent to such a big thing, even if she was a little girl who had never seen the world, she knew what the consequences would be if she sued the emperor on such an occasion, but her brother could laugh at it, so the eyes she looked at Linglong now no longer had the original fear, but more of a hatred. As for this kind of careful thinking in the girl's heart, Jiang Tian has no time to pay attention to it now, this time on the emperor's birthday banquet, he Jiang inevitably became the focus of everyone's attention again, for no other reason, Jiang Tian, who has long been famous all over the country, once again let people see art and play like this!

Unlike many people think, Jiang Tian didn't let any of the women in the mansion come out to sing, because this time it was to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and Zhang Tao was born in the military, although he copied a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions", but you can't think that he necessarily likes poignant sadness, maybe the majestic and golden iron horse will meet his appetite. This group of women who have long been famous in the capital are very competent to sing some concubines, so that they show that it is difficult for a strong man to worry about the country and the people, and the world is difficult, so this time it is just a band and choir, the real lead singer is Jiang Tian selected from a Hui class, and made his debut after closed training, the rich baritone with the singing voice with the style of opera, the magnetic singing voice echoed in the hall, just listening carefully to the lyrics, many people instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Qianqiu Gong Crime Ren commented that the sea and rain and the wind come and go alone" Is this an allusion to the current emperor'......s rebellion against the Ming Dynasty?

"I want to go down in history, and it's hard to say that the infamy is rolling behind me......" This is obviously alluding to today's reforms, we all know that although Jiang Tian and the emperor are both reformers, the opinions of these two people are not unanimous!

"There is a way to win the hearts of the people, look at who will dominate the country...... "What do you mean by Jiang Tian?" You can make it clear who these reforms are unpopular with!

After singing a song, the originally chaotic and noisy hall was so quiet that only a few overseas envoys who could not understand the lyrics took the lead in applauding, but even the imbecile Fernando saw the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and froze to the side after two applause. Everyone was staring at Jiang Tian and Zhang Tao, even if they were as calm as King Ji, they secretly glanced at it, as for Jiang Hu, he was already scared out of his white hair, but he saw his troubled son pick up the wine glass and take a sip casually, and he was even more angry that the old man's seven orifices could smoke.

Zhang Tao never watched "Yongzheng Dynasty" when he crossed over, and he never heard this theme song, but it did not prevent him from immersing himself in the lyrics, because this song describing Yongzheng sounds like talking about himself, which is the most difficult, self-made or revolutionary? Neither of these is easy, but if you do both at the same time, it's definitely epic. There are only two statements in the history books of kings who encounter this kind of difficulty, either they are famous in history and recited through the ages, such as Han Wu and Tang Zong. Either it is a stench that will not be able to turn over forever, such as Emperor Qin, **** ...... In fact, the first two completely take advantage of the last two, and their reforms can only be regarded as supplements and corrections to the former.

Zhang Tao, who was empathetic, smacked the taste and reminisced for a long time, and then noticed that he didn't say anything, so he was cold: "Alas......"

His sigh made everyone nervous, and many people were already thinking in their hearts about whether to intercede for Jiang Tian or fall into the trap for a while. However, I saw Zhang Tao close his eyes and said slowly: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the only one who knows me is the ear ......of the virtuous brother."

"Huh......" This is almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and then everyone guessed that they still didn't want Jiang Tian to be unlucky because of this, as a moderate reformist and the only minister who could influence the emperor's decision, whether it was a revolutionary conservative or a radical imperial party, they all needed such a person who could buffer and reconcile contradictions, assuming that Jiang Tian was dismissed from office today, they absolutely believed that it would not be long before a large number of heads fell outside the noon gate. Now that the emperor has expressed his position, all kinds of voices of praise naturally come and go. Anyway, no matter which faction it is, they have all reached a consensus at this moment, as long as Emperor Zhang's authority does not fall, if they want to live a stable life, they cannot let Jiang Tian fall.

"Brother Xian, you are known for your talent, and today you will put the artist in your house at the end, won't it be the only one song?" Zhang Tao, who was in a good mood, planned to embarrass Jiang Tian: "If you can sing another song, the virtuous brother will not allow me to ask for something!" ”

This is different from what he said, Jiang Tian pretended to take out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, but in fact, he was scolding @Niang in his heart, it turned out that he only said that the song was good, and then staged a drama that raised the value of the artist. Are you deliberately making things difficult, do I want to change my hexagram or do you want to see my excitement? Jiang Tian, who didn't get up, raised his eyes to look at Zhang Tao, and found that the other party's eyes were full of smiles, so he was relieved, it turned out that he wanted to make me ugly temporarily, but fortunately, I didn't plan to believe you completely.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tian sat in his position and clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Your Majesty, this band really has a new song, but it is not long before the practice is afraid that the monarch will lose his manners." ”

"It's okay, act!"

So the band, which was scared enough just now, finally came to their senses and began to play hard. Although the lyrics of this time still contain the content of the people, but the sensitivity is completely different, many court bigwigs are secretly scolded in their hearts, you Jiang Tian is a disgusting guy, since there is this song, why do you still arrange that scary thing.

The theme song of "The Granary of the World" is sung by Liu Huan ...... the previous song, but the rhythm and content are completely different, in fact, this is used to praise the emperor, but Jiang Tian knows Zhang Tao better than others, if he focuses on this song from the beginning, he may not be able to impress this Emperor Zhang.

After singing a song, there is no need to look at the emperor's face, the civil and military officials are not slapping their palms, with the comparison of the two songs before and after, whether they are on the same front as Jiang Tian or not, they have already understood the intention of such an arrangement, it is not that he Jiang Tian is condescending, but disdainful of slapping horses, if the emperor wants to listen to the music, he must first listen to the anti-ear advice that questions the merits, if you have the heart to think, I might as well let you listen to the ear again. It is difficult to find the courage to directly denounce Jun Fei in this Chinese Dynasty, and there are many ministers who dare to admonish in the Ming Dynasty, but how many people can do this tactfulness? At this point, no matter who you are, you have to admire him Jiang Tian.

So the plot behind is that Zhang Tao, who is long-faced and happy, asked Jiang Tian what he wanted, so Lord Jiang once again froze the time in the hall for a few seconds, and he implored His Majesty to issue a decree to cancel the world's cheap status!

This kind of thing is a continuation of Zhu Yuanzhang's system, anyone who has offended this Huaiyou cloth has been beaten into the cheap and children and grandchildren are not allowed to turn over, the harsh household registration system has reduced the metabolic capacity of the Ming Dynasty society to the lowest point in history, which is also one of the important reasons why the Ming and Qing dynasties have not been able to restore the Han and Tang dynasties, Jiang Tian's request seems to be seeking a social status for the women in the house, but in fact, it is a major stumbling block that hinders reform.

Jiang Tian has found through his own practice that the inertia and inertia of traditional society will not be changed because of a word from the superior, he Jiang Tian has long returned the deed of sale of these people, in principle, they are also free, but the society does not see it that way, unless they can go away, otherwise people still regard these people as slaves who are only a little better than the lowly status, even they themselves think so, and they are also proud of being the slaves of the first-class members. How can this kind of society, which is dependent on the powerful and has no space to realize self-worth, become a thriving and energetic new society? Therefore, Jiang Tian and Zhang Tao both believe that if they do not completely transform them spiritually, the social atmosphere will not change in any way because of Jiang Tian's own behavior. So how can we reverse this outdated idea of superiority and inferiority? Two big words popped up in the minds of the two of them - Wen@Revolution!

So the two of them, who were also frightened, muttered for a long time, thinking that the lessons of history should be learned, don't smash all the brains of the four @ old and good and bad, but the four @ new ones have not been established, but when the time comes, it really becomes the merits and demerits to be commented on by future generations...... Therefore, these two people plan to use relatively mild means to start from the lowest level of society, so those lowly people who have never been able to turn over come into their eyes, especially the family members of a group of criminals who were investigated and prosecuted for obstructing reform some time ago. Correspondingly, the subordinates of various wealthy families have really become the most inferior people, what should those who were still complacent and sold into slavery think? And with the restoration of order and the gradual improvement of productivity, it is definitely better to be a commoner than to be a slave, so will anyone be willing to be a slave? At this time, if the state enacts laws such as the equality of individuals and people, is it afraid that there will be no mass base?

In other words, in the original time and space, the absolutely insurmountable relationship between the elder and the young in Japanese and Korean society and enterprises is the most direct successor of the Confucian system of respect and inferiority, and this order of respect and inferiority in Chinese society that no longer has imprisoned thoughts is all thanks to WG, but it has not been completely Westernized into the individualism of Europe and the United States that flaunts freedom @, in addition to the failure of the establishment of four @, but also because this is different from the social genes engraved in the bones of Chinese, and it is also inconsistent with the national conditions of China at that time. But in this time and space, neither Jiang Tian nor Zhang Tao need to go all out to catch up with the developed countries, they have enough time to study and formulate a system that allows society to evolve itself, and gradually improve China's social structure, just like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set up the Jinshi Department, and then influenced the world because of the first civil service examination system.

In the end, Emperor Zhang Tao reluctantly granted amnesty to the world because the king did not joke, and since then there have been no registered untouchables in China, but there is a premise for this, that is, those who have been cut must migrate to the designated area to settle down. This incident is considered to be the earliest slave liberation movement in later generations, regardless of political stance, and Jiang Tian is also recognized as a person @ Quan @ Dou @ Shi, but everyone's motives for Zhang Tao cannot be unified, but this is not important, the important thing is that through this incident, it is indeed that the land of China suddenly has a group of civilians who are willing to migrate to the terra nullius in the north, and voluntarily accept the new education represented by Jiang Tian, these people have gradually become the cornerstone of promoting social progress, Since then, Emperor Zhang's vision of changing the law and trying to be strong is not a mirror that is maintained by imperial power.

Of course, what Jiang Tian didn't expect was that there was a by-product of this birthday banquet, that is, a certain opera actor who was commended, combined with the pronunciation of military words and the singing of Hui Opera, finally studied China's national opera - Peking Opera with a group of peers!
