Body 956 Slavery
Wu Mei did not immediately agree to Li Hong's reform, but she also did not oppose Li Hong's reform, for Wu Mei, Li Hong, who had been the emperor for nearly ten years, only now put it forward, and the meaning of being white and pure is obviously not the main thing.
And it is very likely, as Li Hong said, that it has nothing to do with Bai Chun at all.
Red sleeves for a splash? Wu Mei muttered these two names, and the blind could see that the identities of these two women were obviously not as simple as private slaves, and it was very likely that they were related to the official family or Li Hong's good courtiers.
As for why these two women were able to enter Li Hong's eyes, and even gave them to Li Ye, it was obvious that he wanted to use these two women as the fuse for him to reform his slave status.
Pei Qing is obviously the most unlucky, looking forward to Li Ye being made the crown prince for so many years, and then he will soar and live in the East Palace. But he didn't want to, when Li Hong had already intended to make Li Ye the crown prince, the first thing he did was to make Li Ye clear about the imperial courtiers around him.
Wu Mei also has a layer of worry that the impact of this reform of slavery is too great, and the whole world is included in him, although the timing he chose is not bad, after the noble family headed by the five surnames and Qiwang was completely disintegrated.
But it's not that there are no other wealthy nobles in the world except for the five surnames and seven wangs, it's just that the influence of these five surnames and seven wangs is particularly eye-catching in the Tang Dynasty.
However, Wu Mei also knows that whether it is a private slave or an official slave, the meaning of existence is compared with the previous dynasty, or even the earlier Jin and other dynasties, but according to Li Hong, their value no longer exists, and they are no longer a kind of productive force.
With the reform of the land, as well as the reform and improvement of taxes, both the common people and the nobility no longer have such an urgent need for slave servitude, and now it is more as a status symbol and an asset.
But Wu Mei didn't understand that the existence of slaves was a regression of society and history, and a stain on the prosperity and civilization of the Tang Dynasty, which must be removed in order to make people born equal.
"Your Majesty will return to Zichen Hall tonight?" The two came out of the Penglai Hall and walked on the dusk stone road that was still a little cool.
He was followed by Hua Meng and Mangzhong, as well as Chen Qinghan's two palace maids.
"What do you say?" Li Hong smiled, looked at Chen Qinghan, who had just finished speaking, shrunk his neck and spit out the incense house, and asked with an embarrassed expression.
"Concubine...... The concubine is just asking casually. Chen Qinghan's face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was because the night was as cold as water, or he was looking forward to the sultry moment of spring.
"Go to your palace, I have something to tell you." Li Hong grabbed Chen Qinghan's slender waist with one hand, stroked the smooth satin-like skin inside the clothes and said.
"Hmm." Chen Qinghan did not break free, but let someone's hand on his waist and caress it.
This is the first time that Chen Qinghan has taken the initiative to ask about Li Hong, so after entering her palace, Chen Qinghan has to bow down to everything, and even the two palace maids who like her the most on weekdays have to stand by and watch Chen Qinghan personally busy with everything.
In addition to Li Hong watching the concert in the study, Chen Qinghan personally bathed him, although he didn't know how many times he had personally bathed Li Hong, but every time he looked at the scars on Li Hong's body, he still suppressed the throbbing and trembling in his heart, as if she gently touched it with her fingertips, and she would feel the pain to the bone.
"Don't you feel scared that you're so interested in these scars on my body?" Li Hong patted Chen Qinghan's crotch behind him, and then took the petite and delicate Chen Qinghan into his arms, looking at the red cheeks, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and under the long eyelashes, it looked more delicate and well-behaved.
"I'm not afraid, but every time the concubine touches these scars, her heart hurts, even if it's a light touch, an indescribable painful feeling will rise from the bottom of her heart." Chen Qinghan's charming appearance allowed Li Hong's hand to caress her cheek, and then slowly walked downstream along her slender snow-white neck.
As Li Hong's hands roamed freely on her body, Chen Qinghan's originally slender neck began to lean back vigorously with the flush rising from the snow-white neck, and a faint moan began to come out between her throats, as if she was in great pain.
Chen Qinghan, who was as gentle and graceful as a hibiscus out of the water, let her proud body nakedly bear the fullness and desire brought to her by Li Hong's fingertips, a pair of slender jade legs were tightly clamped together, and a moan seemed to be even more painful in her throat.
Ellipsis...... Interjection...... Add adjectives and go for yourselves.
Not long after Li Hong ascended the throne, the time of the last dynasty was changed beyond recognition by Li Hong, completely departing from the original tradition, but this reform of the time of the court meeting was not opposed by the ministers as expected, on the contrary, it was warmly welcomed by the ministers.
Postponing the time of the court meeting, according to Li Hong's words, at least the lack of a breakfast for these ministers saved a sum of silver in the palace, and the court meeting ended at noon, and it could also save a sum of silver for lunch.
The time of the court meeting was delayed, the process was simplified and shortened, and the two immediate effects made Wu Mei speechless, but the courtiers were obviously not affected by this, after all, as a courtier who is qualified to go to the court, no one cares about the royal breakfast and lunch, right?
What's more, the most important thing is that they no longer have to be like what His Majesty said: You courtiers are the same as me, you are all hard-working people, you get up earlier than the chickens every day, and sleep later than the chickens.
"The ministers didn't understand what it meant at first." Li Hong stood in front of Chen Qinghan, watched her help him take care of his court clothes, and said with a satisfied smile on his face.
After a night of spring breeze and rain, Chen Qinghan's appearance looked more watery and graceful, while smiling and sorting out the court clothes with the two palace maids Wei Li Hong, while chatting with the same ease, he asked, "What does that mean?" The concubine didn't understand either. ”
"That's because you don't have a life, so you don't understand. But it only took a few breaths for some of the courtiers to understand, and then some people said that I shouldn't be so analogic, alas...... In this court, no matter what time it is, there are always courtiers who love to be more serious with the emperor. Li Hong sat at the table, looked at the sumptuous breakfast, and motioned for Chen Qinghan to sit down and eat together.
Chen Qinghan naturally sat down next to Li Hong and personally served Li Hong a bowl of porridge, but His Majesty said that she got up earlier than the chicken and slept later than the chicken, and she still didn't understand.
"Chicken, prostitute, isn't it homophonic? Wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the chickens, you see. Li Hong smiled and began to eat breakfast.
Chen Qinghan, who was stunned for a moment, was stunned, and instantly understood what Li Hong meant, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "You are an emperor, how can you still have time to ponder these fallacies and heresies, no wonder the courtiers oppose such a metaphor, you are the Supreme ...... of the Ninth Five-Year Plan." ”
"Identity and status do not affect pondering some folk things, this is called down-to-earth, if you keep being high, what the emperor does will be meaningless." After Li Hong finished eating, he picked up Chen Qinghan's Jinpa and wiped his mouth casually.
"This is embroidered by Gentle Himself, how can you use it to wipe your mouth." Chen Qinghan couldn't grab it, so he could only watch someone wipe his mouth with a brocade hand, and then walked out.
"I said why the embroidery is so ugly, when it comes to embroidery, I'm afraid none of them can compare to you." Li Hong turned his head and smiled, and then continued: "By the way, you can invite your father into the palace today, and then let him come to me." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qinghan got up from the table at this time, and then said with a smile: "Ling Bin's embroidery skills are not bad compared to me, you can see it one day." ”
"I haven't seen her recently, didn't the queen mother say that she wouldn't let me disturb her, and said that she was making some trouble, let's talk about it." Li Hong waved his hand, and then walked towards the Zichen Hall in front.
The sun outside had risen very high, and as he was about to enter the Zichen Palace, the shrill voice of the eunuchs also sounded outside the Zichen Hall at the same time, and the courtiers began to rush into the Zichen Palace.
I've said it eight hundred times, there's no need to wait outside the hall, just wait in the main hall when you come, and if it's windy, rainy, or snowy in winter and summer, you will freeze into popsicles when you stand outside.
But no matter how many times Li Hong said it, the courtiers still adhered to this etiquette tradition, the etiquette system above the court could not be messed up, the court meeting time was changed and shortened, and the courtiers already felt that it was Long'en and that they would never dare to ask for anything else.
Li Hongshangshu Provincial Shangshu Ling's position is still hanging, and this is also his other position now, in addition to the position of emperor, the left and right servants have returned to their original appearance, each in charge of three departments.
For Li Hong, in this period, no matter what kind of system it is, it is already in line with the requirements and development of the current era, too many changes, or pulling out seedlings to help grow, is not good for the stability of the court society, everything needs a gradual process.
There are not many people who can participate in the small court meeting, compared to the court meeting held in the Xuanzheng Hall in front of it every month, the court meeting of this Zichen Hall is more like a meeting of monarchs and ministers every seven days, but there are not too many political matters that need to be solved immediately.
Wang Xiaojie, the secretary of the criminal department, and Hengyan Fan, the secretary of the household department, were left behind after the small court meeting, and the others went down to the court, and hurried back to their own offices to eat, and now the meal of His Majesty the Emperor, for the ministers, it is becoming more and more difficult to eat with His Majesty.
And in this way, it also makes it an honor for a courtier to be able to have a meal with His Majesty, although there is not much practical benefit, but in this era, people pay more attention to the honor that cannot be seen or touched.
In the hall, the decoration is not considered extravagant, and even when the first emperor was in power, what was this palace like, and what it is still like today, it retains too much of everything when the first emperor was alive, which also makes the officials who are fortunate enough to discuss with Li Hong in this palace admire Li Hong's self-discipline from the bottom of their hearts.
It did not appear after the death of the first emperor, and he began to squander, build and repair the palace and other extravagant things.
(ps: I'm late to come back today, the second chapter is a little late, I'll go, I shouldn't have asked for a monthly pass yesterday, I almost slapped my face, cry for a while.) )
