Chapter Forty-Eight: Owing the East Wind.
In the third year of Emperor Qin Wan of the Song Dynasty, the emperor personally sealed Lu Wan, the daughter of Lu Jinian, the head of the household department, as the lord of Heshun County, and Liu Lezhi, the granddaughter of Xu Ge, was the lord of Changping County, and pro-Eastern Zhou. In order to show the royal kindness, Princess Qin Yuan blessed her in the palace before leaving.
After discussing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Song Yunhe decided to take this opportunity to invite the daughters of the major magnates in the imperial city to hold a flower banquet.
This is the first time that Princess Qin Yuan has held a banquet, not only the imperial city, but also other places in the Qin country, and the powerful people who received the news also took their daughters to rush into Beijing to find a way to get a letter, and the imperial city was full of people for a while, and the liveliness was comparable to the festival.
Song Changzhen didn't like this kind of excitement, especially after Song Yunhe was sick, although there were earbuds for sound insulation, but there were too many people at the banquet for too long, and it was inevitable that Song Yunhe's body would be uncomfortable.
"I'm not made of ice, will it melt away after staying in the sun for a long time?" Song Yunhe saw that he had lost a bunch of petition folds, and only selected less than ten people, and smiled helplessly, "I'm really much better now, can't you just let me this time?"
"These people who want to come to the banquet, does my sister think that they are just here to see the excitement and eat?" Song Changzhen frowned, "Who is not here to show their faces in front of their sister, there will be no shortage of things to compete for, and it will cost my sister my mind in vain." β
"I don't care about them, if they can have more face in my husband's house after attending my banquet, my wish has been fulfilled. Song Yunhe smiled and picked up all the folds he threw out.
Song Yunhe didn't want to hold this banquet temporarily, she summoned Mama Lin and all the palace maids around her and a few girls among the students to have an in-depth discussion about the survival of women at the moment.
In the early days of the pre-Qin Dynasty, women could have equal status with their husbands in some places, such as 'the husband dies and the wife marries herself, and the one who takes it is not guilty', but also because the population flow cycle before the Xiao Qin State was limited, there were very strict restrictions on the number of people in marriage, except for the royal family, the wives and concubines of the powerful families could not exceed four, and the wives of the common people could only take concubines for four years.
Although Xiao Qin also advocates male superiority and female inferiority, the status of women is not completely low and there are no human rights, so many of Song Yunhe's earlier actions have not been shackled.
But now it is different, the small Qin country has lifted the ban, and the interior of Kyushu has interconnected, there will be many collisions in ideology and cognition, from the previous Wen Suling's attitude combined with Meng Chanyi and Gu Qing's statement, the interior of Kyushu has been indoctrinated by Confucianism for hundreds of years, and the 'three outlines and five constants, three from the four virtues' have become women's precepts.
Whether or not the Little Qin Kingdom would be influenced and assimilated by these ideas was inevitable from a historical point of view.
However, Song Yunhe didn't want the women of Xiao Qin Kingdom to sit back and wait to accept such changes, just like herself, she didn't want to lower her personality status to please men and integrate into another world.
It was because the banquet accommodated as many women as possible, and Song Yunhe personally handed over two special deer seals to Lu Wan and Liu Lezhi respectively.
"My Qin women are as kind and soft as a deer, no matter where they are, they must love and respect themselves, showing their femininity. This palace wishes you to be able to save the car together, but I also hope that you will remember that Qin Country will always be your home, and the girls who have been wronged are welcome to return to Qin Country whenever they go home. β
As soon as these words came out, the Qin State was quite shocked for a while, and there were only two reasons for women who married women from other countries to return to China, one was to be abandoned, and the other was that the two countries fled back at war, no matter what kind of official would not accept it, let alone welcome. It is rare for the officials to play this inappropriate thing in the early court.
Song Changzhen asked with a cold face: "Princess Qin Yuan is also going to marry Hou Zhou in the future, if she is bullied in the next week, can she only endure it and not be allowed to return to China?"
"The princess has a noble status and a divine metaphor, so she is different from ordinary people. β
Song Yunhe went to the early court for the first time, dressed in complicated palace clothes, sitting behind the curtain to listen, and then spoke up: "As a woman, this palace is no different from all the women of the Qin State in this matter. β
"The marriage of the two county lords to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is to promote friendly relations between the two countries, and as the beneficiaries, we should protect them, as long as they behave properly, do not harm others, and do not violate the laws of other countries, the Qin State should be their most solid backing. They are not exchanging goods, nor are they spilling water, they are women who dedicate themselves to the country, and they deserve such treatment!" Although Song Yunhe did not show up, his speech was clear, sonorous and powerful, and he was directly popular with the people.
The elder Xu Ge knelt down excitedly for a while, and the old tears were full of tears, "The old minister thanked Her Royal Highness Princess Qin Yuan for her grace." β
"My Qin country has exchanges with foreign countries, not only commodities, but also hundreds of years of cultural exchanges, and there will be more women marrying in Kyushu in the future, and there will also be women marrying into Qin. Only when we love our own girls first, will others treat them well, and the people of Qin can be regarded as truly connected to the inland and multiply. This is the national policy of the main palace that was born as a woman, and I want you to know and implement it. β
It has been three years since Princess Qin Yuan came back from the dead, and in the past three years, the Qin State has been feared and influenced by Princess Qin Yuan, but the princess has never spoken out on a formal occasion, this is the first time, which shows the importance that the princess attaches to this matter.
No one in the court dared to argue for a while.
It was because the two county lords got married not only to send the family mission, but also to the people of the imperial city to send each other to the port spontaneously, and after arriving in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they also won a high-standard wedding ceremony, which should be a later story.
At present, because of Song Yunhe's remarks, the status of women in the Qin State has been greatly stabilized and improved, but it has also led to many dirty things between families, and even some dared to run to the princess's mansion to kneel down to redress their grievances, which Song Yunhe did not expect.
"There is a yamen in the city, and there are hatreds and grievances, so they go to the yamen to complain, and what are you doing in the princess's mansion all day long? Because the princess has to bully the door inch by inch because of a few words of help, it is really too bad to know what to do!" The sparrow went out for several days in a row to drive people away, and was very worried about disturbing the princess's tranquility.
"After being suppressed for a long time, there is a life-saving straw, and it is inevitable that you will be a little impatient. Song Yunhe still understands, although she has not come forward in the past few days, she has instructed people to bring the wronged person to the yamen, spoiling the concubine and killing the wife are light, some people are forced to buy and sell the maids have become half a prostitute, and there are even concubines who have children are incestuous The dirty thing is really appalling, it is because Song Yunhe is much more tolerant of the people who make trouble in front of the door.
"But it's always like this, Your Highness doesn't rest well. The sparrow still felt aggrieved.
"Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment to draft new documents and improve the law on women, and soon there will be a special department to deal with these matters. Song Yunhe said with a smile.
Although the fuse of this incident was Song Yunhe's remarks, it was the drawbacks of the Qin State in controlling marriage and population for hundreds of years, and Song Changzhen was an emperor who was never lazy in government affairs, so he quickly found a place to start.
The new law has been supplemented and promulgated in the summer, and the activated carbon walls of Song Yunhe's main courtyard have been installed, and they will not smell the smell without wearing a mask or doing any protection.
So far, Song Yunhe's two projects have achieved good results, and after meeting her personal needs, she can be put on the market for trading. The children had already gathered together for a number of sales plans, which made Song Yunhe have to sigh 'The future is terrifying'.
However, there are also uneasy things that have been haunting Song Yunhe's heart.
Li Ziqi, who went home to visit relatives after the year, has been away without news for a few months, Song Yunhe wrote to Chai Yu several times to ask, but only said that she was still dealing with family affairs, and asked her why she only thought about students and not him. There is extraordinary resentment in the words, and it is not easy to think of being the new emperor.
Song Yunhe's heart was ready to move, and he wanted to find out.
"My sister obviously said that she would go into the mountains to hunt for treasures, and now she is going to leave me to go inland, and my sister has no place for me in her heart. Song Changzhen was already a little tired, but when he spoke at this time, his phoenix eyes were full of water, and he was even more fragile and helpless.
Song Yunhe felt guilty in his heart, "You know I'm not like this. β
"I don't want my sister to leave, I don't want to come back to my senses from government affairs, and the huge imperial city is only me. Song Changzhen continued to show weakness, and the situation in the inland was now unstable, and he didn't want her to go into danger.
"It's me who is not good. Song Yunhe decisively cut off his impulse, the little emperor worked hard alone, but she wanted to visit her lover, it was really undeserved!" I can't help you. β
"My sister is safe and secure within my reach, which is the biggest help. Song Changzhen smiled, rubbing his temples tiredly, he had only slept for two or three hours for several days in a row.
Song Yunhe's guilt became heavier, and he felt a little more distressed, "I'll give you Qiang Wu to use." β
"My sister doesn't take Qiang when she goes out, I don't worry. β
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying in the imperial city, didn't Chai Yu send several boatloads of materials?
As a result, Song Yunhe dispelled all the thoughts of going out, while entering the palace every now and then and taking the little emperor to walk the garden, while concentrating on the development of rubber supplies, and in autumn, the princess's mansion already had balls, hoses, utensils and all kinds of molds.
So Song Yunhe taught the little emperor and the palace guards around him to play basketball and football, and instructed everyone to play a ball game with the little emperor every five days.
Men were born with a love for athletics, and Song Changzhen soon introduced the sport to the children of the powerful and the military in the imperial city, and became an indispensable topic in men's communication.
Song Yunhe saw that the effect was good, so he packed two boxes and sent them to the next week.
At that time, Chai Yu, who was in the palace in the back week, was sitting high in the court hall, indifferently looking at the noisy ministers of civil and military affairs.
The former Guo's Xiling is a country near the mountains, the national economy is low, and the military generals are in power, everything depends on the regulations of the predecessors, if it is not good, it will be solved by force, Chai Yu often feels that the people of Xiling have not been stopped for many years, and the people themselves rely on their own tenacious vitality.
Since his accession to the throne, Chai Yu has purchased a large amount of grain from the Qin State, which first stabilized the people's hearts, and then began to govern the government. However, the civil officials looked down on the military attachΓ©s, and the old ministers were unwilling to transfer power, and they were often all chicken feathers in the morning, and today they quarreled for half an hour about the resumption of the autumn examination.
During Guo Wanyi's reign, Xiling banned scientific research, mostly for recommendation and appointment, and it was entangled in the entire relationship between the government and the government, and Chai Yu had to cut off these intricacies if he wanted to open up the situation, and the resumption of scientific research was the first choice. But it also touched the interests of most people in the current dynasty, so it was natural to quarrel.
Guo Ziyang's face was embarrassed and restless, it was really too shameless to throw this mess into Chai Yu's hands.
"Everyone's spirits are so vibrant, you can't finish arguing for a while, so you just go outside the Jinluan Palace, and tell me when the quarrel is out of the way. Chai Yu's voice is not very good, but everyone can hear it clearly in their ears, and the generals are frightened for a while, although they have never heard that the new emperor has strong martial arts and profound internal skills, but this is the first time to face it. Before he could react, Chai Yu had already waved his hand, and the guards in the hall in armor had already thrown all the ministers out of the Jinluan Palace.
"After half a year, you still don't understand my words, and you don't need to enter this Jinluan Hall anymore. Chai Yu sat on the dragon chair, dozens of meters away from the hundred officials outside the hall, but his voice could still be deafening, "I never need to ask for your consent to do things, the decree promulgated by Shangshu Province, you like to listen to it or not, if you don't listen, you will unload your armor and return to the field early, and I will give you a good death with the affection of my ancestors." β
The door of the Jinluan Palace slowly closed, and the ministers looked at each other, and finally fell on Guo Ziyang, "Regent, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"Isn't Lord Liu always conceited and rich and rich, ask what does this king do?" Guo Ziyang is not angry, when his father was in power, this lord of the imperial history often took the lead in taking the lead, and now the bullying of Chai Yu is even more rampant when he is young.
"When this official listens to His Majesty's words, does he mean to dismiss the hundred officials?" Lord Liu frowned, not as if he was worried, but with a sense of reproach.
"This king thinks that it is better for Lord Liu to resign by himself, so as not to lose the night of the festival. Guo Ziyang sarcastically persuaded.
Liu Da blew his beard angrily, "We are all loyal ministers, how can Your Majesty blame us for our loyalty?"
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than half a year, how many words of advice does Lord Liu have entered?" I am afraid that I can't remember it!" Guo Ziyang looked around, they were all wait-and-see, relying on the old and selling the old, with a red face and a thick neck, everyone looked like the epitome of the old father, and his heart was desolate and sighed, "Your Majesty is a generous one, but this king also wants to advise you, he has the blood of the Chai clan in his body, and he will never be weaker than the ancestors when he kills decisively, everyone, do it yourself." β
A day later, Shangshu Province promulgated a holy decree for the resumption of scientific examinations, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials were immediately dismissed after a slight delay, and the posts of the Ministry of Officials were vacant after the examination. The frightened civil officials hugged their jobs tightly, acted according to the order, and did not dare to make mistakes.
Lord Yushi Liu is a hard scum, and he went on strike, but he didn't come out of the palace at noon, and he read that he was old and wanted to be sent to Fengdu to recuperate, and Lord Liu was very angry for a while, and collapsed in bed after a stroke.
Lord Liu's subordinates still wanted to fight for him and say a few words, but Chai Yu was taken captive directly from the top to the end, and all the personnel of the Imperial History Mansion were emptied, and they were also left to be selected for the scientific examination.
The ministers who have been officials for decades have never encountered such a powerful monarch, and they all clamped their tails and asked for guilt.
Chai Yu burned a fire and didn't look at it, the door of the Jinluan Palace didn't look like it would open for a short time, the ministers entered the palace early every day and guarded outside the hall, you look at me, I look at you, have been waiting, occasionally someone is lucky enough to be summoned, can smile for a few days, and is also satisfied with everyone's sour look.
In fact, after Chai Yu issued this series of wills, it was not easy to do government affairs, the officials were in a period of scarcity, and the government affairs that they needed to deal with every day were no less than Song Changzhen, so looking at the balls and letters sent by Song Yunhe, I was really envious of Song Changzhen.
"The little girl didn't know if she had grown any taller. Chai Yu sighed slightly, since they met, this is the longest time I haven't seen her, knowing that she is fine, but she often thinks about it.
"If Your Majesty wants to know, why don't you let the people of Tianziwei send some portraits to Your Majesty?" Li Yu, who was a personal guard, really didn't understand.
"Since Tianzi Wei Zhen gave it to her, she should have full authority to appoint it. Chai Yu made up her mind from the beginning, whether it was then or later, she must have people around her who can get along and use, only the more she is delivered to this world, she will find the home of this world, and she will be at peace with this.
"Then Your Majesty can only wait a little longer, and in a few months, Her Royal Highness the Princess's filial piety period will expire, and she will always be with Your Majesty. β
"Is it true that he married her to be wronged in the coming week? Song Changzhen must not be willing. Chai Yu opened his mouth about things that he didn't want to do.
"But isn't it even more important for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be sixteen years old and unmarried?"
Song Changzhen wished that she would never leave the Qin State for the rest of her life, and the people of the Qin State loved her, and they would not embarrass her for a few years. Chai Yu sighed, why didn't he want to marry her by his side, but how could he marry such a crumbling country?
At the same time, the scientific expeditions in the world were all at the same time, because it was only a little late after the restart, but the Qin State was already over, Song Changzhen listened to Song Yunhe's suggestion, and formed his own secretary group from the students who were admitted, and Qiang Wu was trained and instilled with work functions, and when it was winter, Song Changzhen relaxed most of his work, and there was still time for Song Yunhe to go to the Beiyuan Mountains together.
Rare metal minerals are not needed in this era, and there is no point in digging them out, what makes Song Yunhe care is that there is a volcanic group at the end of the north.
It took Qiang Wu five days to scan everything on her back, but fortunately only one small volcano near the sea was active, but the reaction was not too violent.
Song Changzhen was very happy, the large area of sulfur near the volcanic group was an important raw material for gunpowder.
In a blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Festival again, followed by the birthday celebration of His Majesty and the princess, and the three-year period of filial piety had expired, and the Ministry of Rites began preparations early, Zhao Xun of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also brought Lu Wan, who was already a side concubine, to congratulate, but Song Changzhen celebrated with the country in the previous dynasty, and Song Yunhe earplugs and earmuffs were fully armed and waited for the fireworks to be a little unbearable.
The earache and headache were tormented for several days, and it was the Lantern Festival, and there were firecrackers everywhere in the imperial city, so Song Yunhe had to hide in the quilt and cry his nose and didn't want people to know.
After the first month of the first month, the second dragon raised his head, and Song Yunhe was willing to come out of the dormitory, but his spirit has been sluggish, and he is not even interested in taking care of the children's schoolwork.
"Sister Meng, did you say that His Highness was thinking about the son, why didn't the prince come to see His Highness this year?" At night, Gu Qing couldn't help but whisper to Meng Chanyi, who was in the same room.
"Childe is now His Majesty the Emperor of the next week, and he can't get out. Meng Chanyi went back to the inland, but he also knew a little about the situation in the coming week, just looking at the plum period this year and not being able to come back, it shows that the situation of the son is very difficult.
"Your Highness must be extremely sad, looking at the loss of weight. Gu Qing sighed, "His Royal Highness is sixteen, and His Majesty Emperor Qin has no explanation." β
"Gongzi has his own decisions, and His Majesty Emperor Qin is also a person with many ideas, but it is just that His Highness suffers, and both sides must be taken into account. Meng Chan also sighed.
"Sister Meng, why don't we find a way to let His Highness out?" Gu Qing suddenly sat up from the bed and proposed.
Meng Chanyi was silent for a few minutes before saying, "Childe won't be happy." β
"I think it's the opposite, Childe must want someone who knows the warmth and cold! Your Highness is so good, Childe misses it very much. Sister Meng, this is what the book says'two love each other'!" Gu Qing said that he was excited, "Let's help His Highness and Gongzi!"
So early the next morning, Meng Chanyi and Gu Qing waited outside Song Yunhe's main courtyard, and Song Yunhe was still lying on the bed looking at the top of the tent in a daze near noon, until the cicada came in to remind the two little girls to come to her, she didn't get up lazily.
"But what don't you understand in the course?" Song Yunhe asked listlessly.
The two girls shook their heads, then knelt down in front of Song Yunhe and said, "The student is brave, I hope His Royal Highness can save the life of Senior Brother Ziji." β
Song Yunhe was stunned for a few breaths before reacting, asked them to get up, cheered up, and asked, "Is there any news from the child?"
Gu Qing looked at Meng Chanyi, and Meng Chanyi saluted and said, "Senior Brother Ziqi has no news coming, so I beg His Highness to save him." β
"Let's be clear!"
Li Ziqi's family is a family of organs, Chai Dynasty has been serving in the Chai army, creating and improving military battles and formations, after Chai sacrificed his life, the whole family withdrew from the political arena on the bright side, until Chai Yu began to take over the old department and slowly began to have new contact.
And Li Ziqi is the most talented child in the Li family's generation, one of the candidates for the head of the Li family, Chai Yu said before he took him back earlier, only by persuading his family can he re-enter the school of the princess's mansion, it stands to reason that he has the best grades among the students, and his skills have reached a higher level, there is no reason why he can't convince the family.
But he hasn't returned for a year, and there is no news from him, so there is only one possibility, and he must have encountered trouble in the family that he can't get out of.
A large family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and gifted children survive more hardships.
"Why didn't you say it earlier! It's been a year, if there really is a three long and two short, do you want me to collect his body?" Song Yunhe was full of anger, such a matter of life and death was actually hidden from her for a year!
"Childe won't let us speak. Gu Qing replied carefully.
"'A teacher for one day, a father for life'! This palace has taught you for several years, but you are still as heartless as your master!" Song Yunhe heard the mention of Chai Yu, and the anger in his heart was even more uplifting.
Last year, people came to Eli Lilly and proposed marriage, but this year there is not even a word! When he was the emperor, he didn't think about it!
The two girls lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, hiding their smiles, without any grievances from being trained.
"This palace will enter the palace now, let everyone pack up their things and save people!"
