Chapter 466: Be a Filial Son
As the saying goes, if something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom.
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military saw that the crown prince was going farther and farther on the road of reform with Emperor Tai'an, and the opposition voice in the court was already very weak, and under the influence of Shao Zhiqiu, many nobles, such as the Zhenguo Mansion, the Yong'an Hou Mansion, the Prince Lian's Mansion and other families also followed Shao Zhiqiu's standards when choosing their daughters-in-law, so that no one would mention the remarks that women were talentless, for Shao Zhiqiu, this is also a little effect that she has imperceptibly achieved over the years.
As for more, after reading books, literacy, and reasoning, no matter how much you have, you have to fight for it on your own.
As for the equal rights of men and women in later generations, it is too far away for Shao Zhiqiu, and in her opinion, no matter what kind of social form, as long as the people live a safe and prosperous life, it is good, of course, the word "people" naturally includes women.
After Qi Heng was born, Qi Wu had no reason to be lazy, and Emperor Tai'an, who had been in court for more than a year, finally began to go to court again.
It's just that the crown prince is still in charge of the state council.
In July of the twenty-fourth year of Xuanhe, the crown prince, who had been in charge of the country for more than five years, finally became the emperor, changed the name of the country to Xuantong, and called Emperor Huixian. Emperor Tai'an abdicated and became Emperor Taishang.
In September of the same year, the new law of Da Zhou was promulgated, handed over to the supervision of the Inspectorate, and completed the nationwide promotion and popularization within five years.
The new law has greatly narrowed the human rights gap between the elite and the common people, and it took years of arguing with many powerful people to reach a consensus.
At the same time, slavery was abolished, and those who sold themselves were not enslaved, but were instead put into service, and were called workers. The master no longer has the right to control life and death, and if there is a dispute, he will be sent to the official immediately, and the crime of abusing the lynching will be increased by one degree. Of course, in order to appease the powerful, if a person sells himself as a laborer, if he turns his back on the Lord's family, the crime will be increased by one degree at the time of sentencing.
Although Shao Zhiqiu has clearly told Qi Ying that this law cannot be legislated to be effective, after all, any law may be found by users to find loopholes, but this is a good start after all, and for the first time in official education, respect for life is included in the curriculum.
I believe that if it continues to be implemented for a long time, sooner or later this law will be able to truly play its role, even if only one person earns, it will not cost the hard work of many people who have worked hard for it.
Such reforms have become stable, and Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the third year of Xuantong, as soon as Shao Zhiqiu's fortieth birthday passed, no matter how Qi Ying and Qi Zhan persuaded him, Qi Wu was determined to take Qi Run and Qi Heng to leave Beijing and go to the former border of Wei, and now the important place of the Great Zhou, Luzhou.
Looking at Qi Ying's helpless appearance, Qi Wu said with a straight face.
"This is your father's greatest wish in my life, if you are a filial son, you shouldn't stop me!"
"But, but... Father, mother, you, this rash sea, it's too dangerous! ”
"Hmph, if you go out and say that it is dangerous, we are really worried, but your mother and I are in the prime of life, and our martial arts are strong, and I have to say a word when it comes to this, you talk about you, your kung fu practice is not as good as Run'er." When Qi Wu said this, he turned his head and looked at Qi Zhan, and said with the same disdain.
"And you, you two dignified men, it's better for Run'er to suffer! Father and Emperor are ashamed of you! ”
。。。
The two of them were really broken in their hearts, and what they wanted to say was not this question at all!
"But Heng'er is still young! How can you bear to let him follow the bumps on the road... ”
"It's because he's small, is it possible to stay in Jingli and let you take care of it? Or let your imperial grandmother take care of it? Okay, okay, leave us alone, now the great Great Zhou Dynasty will be handed over to you, boy, don't wait for us to come back and find that our home is gone. ”
"Father..."
In short, no matter what Qi Ying said, he couldn't stop Qi Wu's heart that had already flown away, and when he turned his head to look at Shao Zhiqiu, he had already prepared his luggage, and he could set off after leaving.
"The Queen Mother! You should always bring some guards with you! ”
"You don't have to worry about this, do your own thing with peace of mind, rest assured, the queen mother and your father will not be in danger."
After all, it can't be stopped, and in the end, Qi Ying can only go up and down every day as if nothing happened, and deal with political affairs without revealing the news, and when someone thinks of the emperor and the queen mother, hehe, Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu have long disappeared.
Several ministers were detained by Qi Ying in the imperial study, staring at each other with big eyes, recalling the few words left by Qi Ying before he went out.
"Now I know that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are not in the palace, only the people in front of you, once the news leaks, the Emperor and the Queen Mother are in danger, everyone, guess, who am I looking for?"
In this way, yes, several ministers had to conscientiously help Qi Ying keep the secret, and also support Qi Ying's decree, but anyone who wanted to invite the emperor because of political disagreement would be suppressed by them, which invisibly became Qi Ying's help.
At this time, Shao Zhiqiu and Qi Wu had already taken Qi Run and Qi Heng on the merchant ships of the imperial merchants and foreign maritime trade.
"Mother! This is the biggest treasure ship of our Great Zhou? ”
"Now it's natural, but my mother sent new drawings to the shipyard, and as for whether it can make a bigger transmission, it's not necessarily."
"Mother is amazing!" Qi Run patted his ass.
Shao Zhiqiu couldn't help but have a headache, and said in her heart that this girl was only afraid that she had a plan again, otherwise she would never be so well-behaved.
Sure enough, I heard Qi Run turn his head and say.
"Mother, let's come back this time, you let the eldest brother send me to Luzhou to clear the bandits! Erchen heard that with the development of maritime trade, the bandits here are extremely rampant! ”
Shao Zhiqiu was stunned, how could she remember this stubble?
Seeing that Shao Zhiqiu didn't respond, Qi Run hurriedly continued, "At the beginning, my father promised Erchen to make Erchen a general in the future!" You and your father can't talk! Now that the government and the opposition are up and down, there is only a war on the sea, and you can't break your word! ”
The corners of Shao Zhiqiu's mouth twitched, she didn't know what to do with this daughter for a while, when she went to war, it was really not because of her hobby, even when she first said that she was determined to become a female general, it was also to hide people's eyes, who really loves to fight! We love peace!
Peace, you know?
Poor kid, I don't know who fooled me.
Shao Zhiqiu herself can't help this, there are many people who write books and biographies for her outside, they are all singing praises, she can't help it, but this fact is always cruel and not known.
It's not a bad thing after all, Shao Zhiqiu said to write it.
But now that even his own daughter has been fooled, I'm afraid it's not good.
So Shao Zhiqiu streamlined the story and told it to Qi Run, of course, Qi Wu and Qi Heng were also listening to the story on the side.
When Shao Zhiqiu was a child, she really didn't tell Qi Wu, and Qi Wu was also very curious.
Now I listen to it with relish.
