Li Zhi is actually referring to the matter of the Woman Protection Law, which Wu Meiniang came up with, but Li Zhi nodded early in the morning, in fact, this is also wiping his ass for Li Yifu, Li Yang committed such a big crime, but Li Yifu is still in the position of Zhongshu Ling, which is rarely seen in feudal society, if the people focus on Li Yifu, this is not good for the reputation of the imperial court.

But if we trace back to the source, we can shift the focus of this case to a deeper issue, in other words, why Li Yang broke the law is not a problem of Li Yang alone, but a widespread problem, and Li Yang is just one of them.

And once this is done, it involves the interests of the people in the world, and then who will care about Li Yang and take care of themselves.

This can reverse the negative impact of this case, which can be corrected, and it is very good!

This Han Yi had already prepared, earlier than anyone imagined, and even he didn't expect to come so soon, Zhengse said: "Back to Your Majesty, in the minister's opinion, in fact, the case of Ci'en Temple is just a microcosm, and there is a very major hidden danger hidden behind it." ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi in surprise, this was a little different from what she expected.

"Oh?" Li Zhi said curiously: "You can talk about it." ”

Han Yi said: "There are two important figures in this case, one is the son of the prime minister, and the other is a famous family, if nothing else, both of them will enter the court as officials, and the official position may not be small, the minister does not think that they will change this habit because of entering the court as an official, and the officials in the court are more jealous." In other words, in fact, the battle between Li Yang and Pei Qingfeng has already reflected that the phenomenon of officials in the court and the central government being jealous for the sake of courtesans is very serious, and it has affected the next generation. ”

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.

Han Yi turned a blind eye and continued: "And the fundamental reason is not in the folk Qinglou, but in the court, as the saying goes, there is something good at the top, and it must be very bad at the bottom, and it is the court that takes the lead in advocating the style of prostitutes." When the household department is budgeting, a statistic can prove this very well. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "From the late Zhenguan period to the present, the official prostitutes in Taichang Temple have increased fivefold, and now there are more than 2,000 people, but this is only a few years, and there are not palace prostitutes in it." The household department spends tens of thousands of dollars on these official prostitutes every year, from the prime minister to the officials, all of whom are still prostitutes, whether it is to travel in the mountains and rivers, or to attend palace banquets, or even to meet guests at home, there must be official prostitutes by their side, does Your Majesty think this is a good thing for the country? ”

In fact, he didn't say it hard enough, the real leader is the emperor, first there are palace prostitutes, there are official prostitutes, palace prostitutes are dedicated to serving the emperor, in the early days of Zhenguan, in fact, there are not many, because the country was poor at that time, and could not afford to raise, but in the late Tang Taizong period, there were as many as 3,000 maids alone, and the ministers naturally followed suit, so the official prostitutes also began to increase, especially after the Xianqing period, with the prosperity of the country, the number of official prostitutes rose by leaps and bounds, and it was not just a performance. It contains a lot of shameless deeds, because the minister is the ruling class, they want to fancy which official prostitute, and the official prostitute still runs away, especially the Wenchen, they like the official prostitute too much, because the official prostitute is talented, and they have a common topic, and the wives at home are the orders of their parents, not what they like, so they pin their love on the courtesans.

With the prosperity of the country, the wind of arrogance and lasciviousness has risen, the scale of official prostitutes is getting bigger and bigger, there are only more palace prostitutes in the Zhenguan period, and now there are more official prostitutes than palace prostitutes. What's more critical is that the imperial court did not stop it at all, but connived, and the imperial court allowed official prostitutes to sleep and serve in the officials' mansions, resulting in officials at all levels not only comparing, but also exchanging with each other.

Li Zhi was silent, he thought that this could not be described by right or wrong, this is fashion, this is the trend, and it was not formed when he was the emperor, it was formed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, everyone is good, it can only be said that this is a product of the times.

Wu Meiniang said: "Although this is not a good thing, it is not enough to say that it will harm the country." ”

Li Zhi nodded hurriedly.

When Han Yi saw it, he laughed secretly in his heart, which was obviously Wu Meiniang playing tricks with Li Zhi. Said: "Returning to the queen, the minister thinks that this is a hundred harms and no benefits for the country. First, the money that the imperial court raises official prostitutes every year is a large amount, and official prostitutes cannot generate any value except for accompanying officials to eat, drink and have fun.

Second, this is very unfair to a courtier like a minister, the minister runs around day and night, busy like a dog, and even his newborn son is rare to meet, and the following officials, with a lustful voice and horses, drink and have fun all day long, will the minister figure it out? If the minister can't think about it for a while, the minister will be like them, and as this atmosphere spreads, there will be fewer and fewer capable ministers and virtuous ministers, but there will be more and more corruption.

Third, now the country is on the rise, there are a lot of things to do, but it is not the time to enjoy, the country spends so much money, raises so many officials, and does not let them come to enjoy, and the state has given them a lot of benefits, but they are focused on fighting for the wind and jealousy, if they are not stopped now, it will be even worse in the future, and now the local government is relatively restrained, because the local government has no money, the most serious is Chang'an and Luoyang, but with the passage of time, The local government will definitely get more and more serious, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to stop it then.

Fourth, there are many unseemly deeds involved, and in terms of morality, I won't talk about the power and sex traders. Just from the point of view of supply and demand, even the prime minister pursues this aspect, so the people below will naturally do their best to find beautiful women everywhere, and then do everything possible to force good people to become prostitutes and profit from them.

There are many, many drawbacks, and the minister doesn't want to describe them all, in short, the court takes the lead in developing official prostitutes, contributes money and efforts, and encourages ministers to play with women, which the minister can't figure out. If Your Majesty wants to work hard, if you want to lead the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented prosperity, then you must stop the spread of this atmosphere, and you can relax in your spare time, but it is not good to be obsessed with it, especially the officials. ”

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, he didn't care originally, because he lived under such a trend, he also felt that it was quite fashionable, taking a girl out and talking about Fengyue, this is really a great enjoyment of life! But listening to Han Yiyi, he really didn't think it should be, but he didn't know it before, of course he also knew that it was not beneficial to the country, but this was the interest of the ruling class, being an emperor was the same as being a peasant, who still wanted to be an emperor.

He himself is also among them, if he wants to stop it, it will also damage the interests of the emperor, which makes him very contradictory, or that sentence, the loyalty is contrary to the ear, but Han Yi has a sentence, which makes him very worried, that is, this is unfair to a minister like Han Yi, if a minister like him also drinks and has fun all day long, then who will help him govern the country, and asked: "Then how do you say how to stop the spread of this atmosphere." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "It's very simple, reduce official prostitutes on a large scale and hand over this aspect to the private sector." ”

Wu Meiniang was taken aback when she heard this, and said: "Aren't you contradicting yourself, you just said that something is good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom, and part of the reason why the court made changes is to lead by example, so as to prevent the spread of this atmosphere among the people, but if this aspect is handed over to the people, what is the point." ”

Li Zhi also nodded straight.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, the queen, it is impossible to completely stop this aspect, even if the imperial court completely prohibits it, that is, to turn the Qinglou from the ground to the underground, but in this way, the people who are engaged in the Qinglou industry are already illegal, then they will be even more desperate, and make a sum of money, which will be more difficult to supervise, and the harm to the country will be greater."

But the government came forward to build it, this is definitely not possible, because the government is originally a law enforcer, the owner of power, there is nothing to restrict the government, so the growth of official prostitutes is very rapid, and there are ministers who use official prostitutes to collect money, the development of the private Qinglou for so long, but less than one thousandth of the official prostitutes, but if it is a private business, the imperial court can issue a law to restrict the Qinglou. ”

Wu Meiniang suddenly understood, if they are all banned, there is no need to introduce relevant laws, if there are official prostitutes in the government, the laws cannot be restricted, if they are all transferred to the people, the folk Qinglou industry will definitely grow, then it is necessary to introduce laws to restrict the Qinglou, which is simply perfect.

But Li Zhi was a little speechless, he just wanted to eliminate the negative impact of the Ci'en Temple case, but Han Yi made so many things for him, but Han Yi said it reasonably, the government runs the Qinglou industry, and all women in the world can be included in it, and if it continues to develop at this rate, within ten years, the scale of official prostitutes in Chang'an will reach more than six or seven thousand, and the whole country can increase by as many as 10,000 people.

Because there's no limit.

Wu Meiniang's eyes rolled and said: "But if you want to cut down official prostitutes, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they will definitely take the palace prostitutes as a matter." ”

There is really a tacit understanding! Han Yi said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should lead by example, reduce some palace prostitutes, and keep a certain number, just meet the palace banquets and the court-China ceremony." Please forgive the ministers for daring to say, Your Majesty, you already have so many concubines, and many palace prostitutes Your Majesty can't even see each other, and it is indeed a waste to raise so many. It is better to let them out of the palace, now the country's industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and the demand for manpower is getting higher and higher, but agriculture is the foundation of the country, if women are allowed to devote themselves to industry and commerce, especially the textile industry, weaving is women's labor, which will not only not have an impact on agriculture, but also can rapidly develop industry and commerce, so that the national strength increases, after all, they can not create any value if they stay in the palace. ”

"It makes sense." Wu Meiniang nodded, of course she has no opinion on cutting palace prostitutes, because palace prostitutes serve the emperor, as the emperor's wife, of course she thinks that the less the better, it is best not to even have concubines, just her queen, like Queen Dugu, she absolutely supports Han Yi at this point. He also said: "Cuts are just cuts, official prostitutes will still exist, this is a symptom but not a root cause." ”

The implication is that you don't want it at all.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang with a weak heart, he was not very quiet, in this regard, he really didn't dare to call Wu Meiniang, women want to be jealous, everyone is afraid.

Han Yi said: "Back to the queen, the government at all levels often holds some banquets, which is necessary, if the official prostitutes are abolished, it will give those opposing ministers a reason, Weichen thinks that it is appropriate to retain some official prostitutes for performing songs and dances, it is also necessary, but it is strictly forbidden for official prostitutes to stay in bed." ”

Li Zhi said: "It's hard to ban. ”

"But if you don't ban it, it's even harder."

Han Yi said: "The imperial court only prevents persecution from happening, and if you develop the idea of official compulsion, then sooner or later he will use it on the people." But with only a piece of paper from the imperial court, I am afraid that it is difficult to put an end, so the imperial court has to set up a supporting official office, which the minister has also said before, women are a vulnerable group, they are bullied, they dare not go to sue, can only swallow their anger, which instead fuels the arrogance of those officials.

Therefore, there must be an official office to make decisions for women and protect women from harm, and this official office must be decided by women, and if it is a man who is in charge, men will definitely tolerate it, because it also affects their interests, but women's words are very hateful to this kind of behavior, because official prostitutes will also destroy family harmony, and women will definitely do their best to help Your Majesty prevent the spread of this trend. ”

Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Let women be officials, this ---- I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered a few times, and she also said: "Han Yi, the imperial court just wants to prevent similar cases from happening, and if you do this, it is just a matter of extraneous and self-defeating." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's not clear what the minister expressed." Han Yidao: "In fact, the official office is just a habitual statement of the minister, in fact, the idea of the minister is a civil institution supported by the imperial court, and the members of the institution are not formal officials, but they are supported by the imperial court and have certain powers, similar to the squire." ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "That's okay." ”

Wu Meiniang said again: "Then how should the folk Deqinglou deal with it?" ”

Han Yi said: "The law is also used to restrict and increase the cost of opening a green building, for example, it is strictly forbidden to prostitute this kind of profiteering transaction." Another example, if the courtesan falls ill because of this, the Qinglou must take care of her for the rest of her life, otherwise, a huge amount of compensation will be paid, or if the courtesan is physically injured due to work, the owner of the Qinglou does not report it immediately, and once it is found, he will also face a huge fine. In short, to let the world know that it is very difficult to open a green building, then there will naturally be fewer people who open a green building, and to provide more employment for women, such as working in a workshop, which can also reduce women's drunkenness and dust. ”

"That's a good idea!" Wu Meiniang smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Zhi and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

Li Zhi was very depressed, where was he embarrassed to say no, he wanted to protect the interests of men, and the queen also wanted to protect the interests of women, not to mention that there was Han Yi, a traitor among men, who was on the side, these two sang and harmonized, where could he parry, and he was not as lustful as Tang Xuanzong, maybe his body was not as good as Tang Xuanzong, and there was a strong woman Wu Meiniang watching. In addition, he is still ambitious, and he wants to get rid of Li Shimin's shadow and prove himself.

After weighing this, I felt that it would not do much damage to his interests, there were so many palace prostitutes, what did it matter if I reduced a few, it was mainly to hurt the interests of the minister, and said: "I don't object to you doing this, but now the court is relatively stable, I don't want to set off a bigger wave because of a few women, which will lead to endless fights and delay the country's plans, if you can avoid this matter from causing disputes among the ministers of the court, I will promise you." ”

He is smart, he is unwilling to offend the minister, if the minister agrees, then he has no problem, anyway, it is the interests of the minister who is harmed, because the official prostitutes are publicly owned, more than 2,000 official prostitutes, and there are not many evenly distributed, of course, official prostitutes are generally monopolized by ministers and meritorious ministers above the fifth grade, but the palace prostitutes are private, his emperor is alone, and there are so many concubines over there, he is at most in contact with a few, and some are reduced.

Wu Meiniang frowned slightly when she heard this, this is too difficult, everyone is good, you are doing this to the detriment of the interests of all officials, and you, the emperor, still do not support it, this is simply impossible.

But who knew that Han Yi agreed in one bite, "Weichen must live up to his mission." ”
