Chapter 28 Women's rights cannot be opened

When the conditions for sealing the king came out, the queen and the princess naturally broke their hearts for their son.

For the children, this is still too far away. After all, you have to be crowned to consider whether to be crowned king or marquis, excluding Li Chong, the oldest child is only thirteen years old, and there are still seven years to prepare slowly.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter of the emperor, Li Mei, complained all over her stomach, and even directly found Li Ming and complained: "The father is unfair, why can the royal brothers choose to be crowned king or marquis, and we women can only be crowned princesses." ”

"What, Mei'er still plans to become an official, or a general?" Li Ming was immediately interested when he heard this. It's not that I haven't thought about emancipating women, but it's a minefield, and whoever touches it is unlucky. The key has been suppressed by the patriarchal society for so long, and it can be liberated suddenly, God knows how far it will be liberated?

In later generations, one or two only wanted to enjoy rights under the pretext of equality between men and women, but did not intend to fulfill their obligations 'equally'. Even in the name of emancipating women, Li Ming has no less contact with women who plan to change society back into a matriarchal society.

The concept of equality between men and women, even if it is a civilized society in later generations, a humanistic and humane society cannot be solved, why should I be mixed in in ancient times, let alone if I really want to be liberated, those men will be the first to tear themselves apart.

"Mei'er has followed her mother since she was a child, learned a lot of swordsmanship, and learned a lot of strategies for governing the country, but there has never been a place to show it. If you become an official, or enlist in the army, you can do it, but why can't your daughter? Li Mei stuck her waist and pouted and said.

She is also eighteen years old this year, and according to the general situation, she can already get married. It's just that Li Ming didn't want his daughter to get married too early, so he said that the princess had to be twenty years old before he could get married. The candidate for the husband was actually determined three years ago, it was Zhu Jun's son Zhu Hao, for which Zhu Hao is 30 years old this year, but he is not married, but the two parties already have a marriage contract.

"I'm going to get married in two years, and I'm still so strong. Then the father asked you, if you are crowned king, will you still be married? Li Ming asked with a smile, "After being crowned king, but you have to hand over the military power, you let Zhu Hao abandon Wu Congwen, is he willing?" Furthermore, the child you gave birth to, is the surname Li or Zhu? If it's the latter, then who will inherit your feudal kingdom in the future? If the surname is Li, but it is equivalent to Zhu Hao joining our Li family, will he be willing? ”

Yes, no matter what, the princess has no possibility of becoming a king. Not to mention anything else, in an era where great emphasis is placed on family inheritance, it is very despised to be rich. Without the support of absolute love, Zhu Hao can't ignore the eyes of everyone around him. But can the love between Zhu Hao and Li Mei really reach that height?

At least not at this stage, they just look at each other for now and don't hate each other, and love is not even counted.

Li Mei has never considered the issue of her feelings, and this time she is examining her emotions for the first time. However, she has not been in contact with many men, and she doesn't even know what 'love' is, but she at least knows what 'responsibility' is.

Indeed, there is no need to harm Zhu Hao. The king is indeed very beautiful, but in order to develop the fiefdom, the husband and wife will inevitably get together less and more, and a couple who gathers less and divides more, how much is left in the relationship? Besides, if Zhu Hao wants to lose his military power, will he blame himself for this? The key point is one more point, what should be the surname of the child born?!

"Father, I ......" Li Mei found that what was originally just a question of 'whether to be crowned king' has become such a deep problem. For a while, I didn't know how to answer.

"You're going to think about that and prove that you're a good kid. In fact, your talent will not be buried, get married, use your talent and learning, help the Zhu family get one step closer, give birth to a few more grandchildren in the future, and further develop the Zhu family. At the same time, maintaining the relationship between the Zhu family of the Li family, so that the friendship between the two families can continue from generation to generation, this is a great achievement. I can't say, when the time comes, your achievements may not be much worse than your crowning of kings. Li Ming touched Li Mei's head and said lovingly.

"The child understands!" When Li Mei heard this, she nodded obediently, she was still a little frustrated that she failed to become the king.

"Daughter is the king......" watched Li Mei leave, but Li Ming really thought about this problem, but the women's *** movement has not been done, and women's work options are very limited, there is no income, and naturally there is no right to speak at home, and in the end they still become a vassal of men.

"Forget it, I can't change it...... Leave a thought for future generations to give their own headaches! Li Ming didn't bother to waste his brainpower, and said that there was no eternal dynasty. Since the survival of the dynasty is in question, who has to worry about the problem of feminist liberation. Besides, there are some things that come naturally and naturally, so why force them.

However, the status of women can be slightly improved, and in the final analysis, it is still the status of concubines. As with goods, this situation is indeed a bit ...... At least I, a Chinese woman, shouldn't be treated like this.

It was another big court meeting, and of course Li Ming also talked about this issue. The ministers of civil and military affairs couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and they only felt that Li Ming had been a little idle recently, and he even had to intervene in the affairs of other people's private houses.

The human brain replenishment ability is very terrifying, and many people think that Li Ming should not be so painful to consider such trivial things, so he naturally thinks deeply and analyzes and understands it deeply.

Then he came to a conclusion: Li Ming intends to further win over small and medium-sized families! After all, the children of wealthy families, there are many concubines from these small families, and even women from poor families! Of course, the wife must be the right person, and the concubine only needs to be good-looking!

But if the status of the concubine is improved, then the most beneficial families are naturally small and medium-sized families, even those from poor families. Of course, they will be grateful to Li Ming, and although they have no impact on the overall situation, they will compromise with the imperial court in some small matters.

"Your Majesty, how do you think you should improve better?" Zhang Zhao stood up.

"I can't think of anything else, I just hoped that Huaxia women would not be included in the family like goods. Fresh three days to throw aside, even once the wife is not pleasing to the eye, she can be killed directly, and she does not have to bear any serious responsibility.

Not to mention that there are many Yue people nowadays, and even Japanese women have also married as concubines, and the difference in culture and customs makes them easy to be disgusted by their wives. Li Ming said slowly, and the more he talked, the clearer his thoughts became.

"And what does Your Majesty think?" Zhang Zhao continued to ask.

"I don't plan to change too much, for example, if the eldest woman abuses the concubine for a long time, the concubine has the right to propose reconciliation and divorce, and the husband's family must provide some property to the concubine, and we should also help them remarry as soon as possible. Women who are widowed or divorced should be encouraged to remarry, and moral shame should not be allowed. If the concubine dies violently and it is found to be related to the husband's family, the murderer and accomplices will also bear a certain amount of responsibility. In the final analysis, since you didn't like others at the beginning and didn't give and leave, why did you accept others in the first place? Three days fresh? I'll ask you Aiqing, what kind of person would be if he could say such a thing?! Li Ming raised his eyebrows.

When the courtiers heard this, they immediately whispered, Li Ming's words would obviously raise the threshold for taking concubines. In fact, it may not be a good thing for large families, at least it can prevent many small families from climbing the dragon and the phoenix.

As a result, in the end, in fact, the most disadvantaged are the small and medium-sized families who plan to strive for the top. It is the common people who earn the most, and they don't have to worry about their daughters being robbed as concubines. In addition, the benefit is that these big families, with this decree, can push off many marriage requirements, and at the same time, it can also prevent some unscrupulous children from indulging in women.

As for the loss of some connections, they are all wealthy families, and those who can really enter the door know the rules. As long as the concubines obey the rules, then the eldest woman will naturally not embarrass them. can't talk about separation, after all, they are already enlightened when they marry in. At most, it is just to protect them from being abused by their husbands, which actually has no impact on the overall situation.

"Your Majesty is benevolent!" Xun Biao took the lead, and Zhang Zhao and others followed. Li Ming is the emperor, as long as it does not affect their fundamental interests, then they can compromise and make concessions, especially this is not even a fur thing.

"It's just that a widow lives at home, or a woman who has been divorced, she can't survive without a livelihood, so she can't let the court raise her, right? I plan to open an academy in each county so that they can learn some means of earning a living......" Li Ming said a second thought, after all, there are already tens of thousands of military widows, waiting for the imperial court to receive help.

Many of them have the ability to make a living, plus pensions and military family treatment, life is good. But it is not only these military families who live at home, most of them have no means of livelihood, or have failed in business, so they can only rely on doing rough work to make ends meet, and many of them have to hang an embroidered shoe on the door.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhao finally jumped out, "Now that Dachu is prosperous, all walks of life can have food and clothing as long as they are willing to contribute." The bereavement pension for military dependents is set by His Majesty, and it is not easy to change it. As for the average widowed woman, the key is to find a good family to marry, and those who show up will inevitably miss a marriage. ”

"yes...... Yes...... "Many civil officials also responded one after another, and they all knew what Li Ming was going to do. First of all, there will be technical colleges, and there may not be formal colleges in the future, and then will women be allowed to go out of office?

Obviously, it is impossible for Li Ming to continue to 'make a fresh move', and he has obviously touched the bottom line that cannot be touched.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but for those who are willing to fall, mercy is obviously too extravagant." Xun Biao sighed.

"Ahem, well, I didn't say anything about the rest of the story...... Didn't you hear a few days ago that the royal palace was marching towards the place where the sweat tent of Kebineng was? What's going on now?! Li Ming coughed lightly, and then changed the subject.

"This is also what my subordinates plan to report!" Since Li Ming ascended the throne, Zhu Jun was named the Minister of the Military Department and entered the cabinet, and he was responsible for the affairs of the military. By the way, the first assistant to the cabinet was ultimately served by Zhang Zhao, after all, his resume and age were there. Relatively speaking, Xun Biao and Gu Yan are still a little younger.

Even Zhang Hong is now pressing them down, not only in terms of age and resume, but also in ability. Among the rising stars, Gu Yong and Lu Su are still too young, and their first goal is to become ministers after the age of forty, and then enter the cabinet.

"Ten days ago, the main force of Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan had already entered the grassland. At present, the sweat tent of Kebineng is being searched, and there is no news in the short term. Wu Huan wants to be a vassal to Da Chu, I don't know what His Majesty thinks? Zhu Jun said slowly, although he has gone up, his central qi is getting stronger and stronger, especially after Li Ming handed over the "Rakshasa Heart Sutra" to him, many of the sequelae caused by the cultivation of the "Blood Heart Sutra" have disappeared.

"Not accepted! Since they dare to beat us with Xianbei, then before this breath, Da Chu will not accept their vassals! Li Ming said slowly.

"Then the minister will give a reply." Zhu Jun nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to the queue.
