Body 950 slaves
I couldn't believe what I heard, the emperor and the princess, like brothers and sisters in ordinary people, would quarrel over some trivial things! will also be like the sister of ordinary people's families, and he will be cold to his brother!
And the emperor turned out to be like the elder brother of the ordinary family, who would look at his grinning sister and smile, and then just look at her lightly without giving any explanation.
Don't...... Could it be that we are encountering a fake emperor and a fake princess? It seems that the two people in the dream world invariably have such a thought in their hearts.
After a while, just when the two girls thought that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was eaten to death by his sister and would not make any excuses, the emperor actually spoke, and what he said almost made the two of them fall off their jaws in shock.
"Are you bothered? Do you want to be beaten again? It's all over there, don't you just think I'm dragging you out? If the queen mother knows that you shook off my affairs that day, let's see who the queen mother will speak for? Don't get cheap and sell well. "The emperor spoke like a scoundrel in the market, and he used both intimidation and threats.
"Hmph, let's not talk about that for now, but what about today? You let Pei Wanying and your son deal with it, do you understand that you want to release water Pei Qing? He is corrupt, a traitor, an official in Suizhou, and now except for Guo Jingzhi, the other officials are Pei Qing's henchmen, and they all gave Pei Qing silver. I see, Guo Jingzhi, who you have high hopes for, is afraid that it is also because there is no silver to give, so he exposed Pei Qing's acceptance of bribes, if he has money to give, heh...... I don't know ...... yet. ”
"Can you not live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Do you think there are no clean officials in this world? Aren't Chen Jingzhi and Pei Xingjian counted? How can people not be greedy and not collect in their lives? Why did he, Pei Qing, shake his cleverness and use Li Ye? I am the emperor, he is the emperor? I still worry about my family affairs, and I am thinking about the establishment of the reserve for me! ”
"Yes, even if Pei Qing is wrong, but you, the emperor, are doing the right thing? Let your queen dispose of ....... ”
"Shut up, you." Li Hong picked up an orange on the table, stuffed it into Li Lingyue's mouth without peeling the skin, and then looked at Li Lingyue's desperate posture, pressed the hands that pinched the soft flesh on his waist, sighed and said, "Isn't this also a helpless thing......." ”
"Come on, you're an excuse, there's still something in this world that you can't do? Oh, it's so fresh. ”
"Will you give me another one?"
"I didn't have it, okay?" Li Lingyue softened, and she didn't know why he was so sensitive to hehe, and it wasn't a scolding word, inexplicable.
Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang kept their heads down, never believing that sitting opposite them were the current emperor and princess, such scenes and dialogues completely subverted their cognition, and they were not at all in line with the emperor they imagined.
Didn't you say that the emperors were the most powerful people in the world? Whoever sees it has to be afraid, and they all have to be cautious and cautious, why does the princess dare to quarrel and quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor? And His Majesty the Emperor even beats people?
The two women trembled and lowered their heads, afraid that the emperor and princess opposite would find out the doubts in their eyes.
"I also have no way to let Pei Wanying deal with it. By the way, Hua Meng, first go to the place where Da Shi and the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom stayed. Li Hong knocked on the car window, and then after saying it outside, he turned his head and continued to look at the bulging cheeks, and said to Li Lingyue, who was unhappy and disdainful: "Da Shi and the Wa Kingdom, and other envoys have just arrived in Chang'an, if Pei Qing and others are known about such ugly things, maybe how these goods will be used to make a fuss, I don't know what moths they will come up with, not to mention that I set up Li Chengjiling King and Li Nan Donghai King first, in case Da Shi and Wa Guo seize the opportunity to take the prince, At that time, they may not know what they will take advantage of, so leaving this matter to Pei Wanying or you to assist Li Ye is the most appropriate way at the moment. ”
"Then why don't you give it to me? Seeing that I don't spit out all the bitter juice that the surname Pei has cleaned up, everything in Suizhou has been fine on the surface since he took office, but since Guo Jingzhi exposed his bribery, he found that even the people of Suizhou hate him to the core, not to mention those officials in Suizhou, Pei Wanliang's name is unknown to no one in Suizhou, no one knows it! Right, do you know the nickname Pei Wanliang? Li Lingyue said in the end, she looked at the red sleeves who had been lowering her head and said to Tian Xiang.
The two women had been nervous, and what they heard in the carriage seemed to be something from another world, and compared with what they heard on weekdays, the trivial things in the building, which they thought were already huge, and which were all for them, were completely different from the things they heard on weekdays.
And even if they serve some dignitaries and wealthy families in the building on weekdays, even if it is a banquet between officialdom officials, they are not like the emperor and princess in front of them, all the officials who were originally high in their eyes are like them in the eyes of those officials at the moment, they are so small and worthless.
As for Pei Qing, for the red-sleeved Tianxiang, that is the person who can control the life and death of the two of them, and now the two of them have jumped up, if they can see Pei Qing again one day, the status and situation between each other, I am afraid that they will have to be adjusted one by one, not that they are afraid of Pei Qing, but that Pei Qing should nod to them and try his best to curry favor.
"The concubine has been in the building, so ...... So haven't heard of it. Tian Xiang was a little bolder, and had the courage to reply to Li Lingyue's words.
"Then what about you on weekdays, don't you go out for a walk? Don't you go to places such as Chang'an City for outings or Qujiang Pond? When Li Lingyue faced the red sleeves and added incense, her tone was much gentler than that of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"On weekdays...... On weekdays, Master Pei won't let us go out at will, and that Wang Shishi won't either, even if he goes in and out occasionally, he just follows Master Pei to some adults' mansions to help the fun. The answer is still Tian Xiang.
"Then you are in Chang'an, but have you been to the homes of many officials? The other girls in the building are also gone, right? This time, it was Li Hong who asked.
"Yes. The girls in the building will go, and those few Oiran who are applauded in Chang'an City will ...... Sometimes...... It will also be left behind, and it will be sent back in a few days, and it may be sent back the next day. And sometimes, even the cooks and others in the building will follow, for example, if there is a happy event in the official's family, Master Pei will ask Wang Shishi to take us over. Tim Xiang continued, and the red sleeves on the side also helped to fill in some leaks from time to time.
"Tut, the pomp is really big, this is the official family, the house slaves are people, and they are not human beings at all in their eyes. The girl in the building, has there been no news since she left, and she has not returned? Li Hong glanced at Li Lingyue, who obviously didn't quite understand Li Hong's sigh.
The existence of the class of domestic slaves has always existed, not only in this dynasty, but also in the previous dynasty, even if it is a big Han, it will only be more intensified than this dynasty, and the buying and selling of slaves, life and death are like dead dogs.
And not to mention the house slave, that is, the status gap between the wife and the concubine is also extremely disparity, the main room has an absolute, indisobedient right in a family, although the wife and the wife are serving a person, but the wife can completely decide the life and death of the concubine, and even the government has no way to pursue it, after all, these people are not in the household registration of the Tang Dynasty, but only as a commodity, or like livestock, attached to the master's family.
In history, Wang Bo of Tang Sijie killed concubines, and even at banquets between some officials, it was common for some of the main family's concubines to take turns to exchange, and the guests fell in love with the domestic concubines, as long as the main family was willing, they could give them away.
As for the life and death of the concubine in the back, the main family will not pay attention to it anymore, the guest is tired of playing for a while, and then gives it away, after changing hands a few times, the identity of this concubine is like a beast, no one will care anymore, and finally she was thrown naked in a mass grave, which is not unexpected.
Therefore, Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang can be taken by the royal family from the Shengyun Building, and then they were taken away by the royal family as soon as possible, for them, there is no doubt that they will be reborn and reincarnated in a great opportunity to be human beings, and it is also the reason why the two girls can't believe that all this is true until now.
"Yes." Red Sleeves lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Hong, but he still nodded quietly and replied.
"Is it much?" Li Hong asked again, the little hands of the two women were secretly twisting their cuffs, obviously the two girls were still extremely nervous at the moment.
"At the beginning, there would be two or three times a month, but then it gradually decreased, and some of the girls in the building also recognized it, and then this is ...... I got used to it. Redsleeves spoke quieter, but fortunately it was quiet in the carriage, and the four of them could still hear it.
"You don't want to ban ......." Li Lingyue's eyes widened and she asked with some concern.
"Why not? Class should not exist in the first place, people should be born equal, no one should be nobler than others, and no one should be inferior, right? They are all born to their parents and raised by their parents, which one is not the meat of their hearts in the eyes of their parents? If the house slave is not banned, no matter how rich and powerful my Datang is, it is only a powerful ...... appearance. ”
"Yes...... This is not a trivial matter, if you want to ban these, you are not only fighting with the wealthy nobles led by the five surnames and Qiwang, but with the ...... Follow....... Li Lingyue was short of words for a while, if the imperial brother really made up his mind to do this, it would be against the whole world!
Just imagine, the slaves who originally had no household registration and could be bought and sold suddenly became civilians, and they could also have land and household registration, and became real Tang people.
In this way, the ultimate benefit is to lose the owner of a few domestic slaves, or a family with thousands or hundreds of domestic slaves.
More importantly, even the landlords and wealthy households in the rural villages have a large number of domestic slaves in their hands, although they are different from the domestic slaves in the city, but the nature is exactly the same.
