Emperor Yanchang smiled.

Princess Zhending raised her glass and said hello to Emperor Yanchang, "Father, my sons wish you a happy grandson." "Drink it all.

Princess Zhending has been married, relying on Concubine Yuxian, the dowry allocated by the palace to the princess is very rich, and the princess's mansion has also been built.

Emperor Yanchang happily accepted Princess Zhending's blessing and asked her how she was doing.

Not to mention, before the princess got married, she was also the pearl of thousands of favors, and the relationship between the princess and the Son of Heaven will also change after marriage.

Emperor Yanchang is very fond of Princess Zhending, this daughter is the most like him, and she is the eldest daughter, so there is no shortage of care.

The concubine Yu Mengting is also the pillar of the imperial court, and has a close relationship with Emperor Yanchang, for Emperor Yanchang, Yu Mengting is not only a concubine, but also his assistant.

In this regard, he also said to Princess Zhending that he must have a good relationship with the Yu family. General Yu's father and son serve the country, and his surrender to the princess is a favor to the Yu family, so don't mess up the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Princess Zhending knows the general situation, takes into account the overall situation, and also knows the key points, when getting along with the concubine Yu Mengting, she understands and gives in to each other, never oppresses people with power, and is generous, which is deeply admired by the concubine Yu Mengting and General Yu.

Princess Zhending replied with a smile: "The son is very good, and the concubine treats her daughter very well." "For the sake of the princess, how dare the horse bully the princess?

"That'll do."

The marriages of princesses are generally political, and Emperor Yanchang lowered the princess to give the minister dignity, and also to make the princess feel happy to the greatest extent.

Some princesses were not favored before they got married, and their status rose after they got married, relying on their husband's family. There are also some princesses who are very popular with the emperor before and after marriage, and can help the emperor a lot.

"Father, my sister and brother-in-law are so sweet and happy, and my sons are happy for my sister."

Princess Jiashan also spoke. Wang Ronghua is not a reliable mother, Emperor Yanchang pities her very much, and the kidnapping turmoil a few days ago has also made Princess Jiashan gain a lot of attention.

Wang Ronghua was so confused that he would rather sacrifice his daughter than keep his mother's family, which angered Emperor Yanchang.

The reward given to Princess Jiashan has never been broken, and Princess Jiashan was also exchanged for a better food town by Emperor Yanchang to avoid losses.

has money, and can rely on Emperor Yanchang to do more practical things in the capital, not to mention how good Princess Jiashan's mood is.

"With Jiashan here, how can your sister not be happy?" Emperor Yanchang joked with a smile.

Princess Zhending blushed for a while, and then said calmly: "The sons rely on the favor of their father and the emperor, and they will not abandon their horses, so that they can have today's happiness." ”

Without Emperor Yanchang, these princesses are no different from ordinary girls, they are all girls who are not taken seriously.

Born in the royal family, the treatment of the princess and the prince is very different, the prince is not favored by the fief is naturally much more than the princess, and the princess is favored, and the reward is much less than that of the prince.

This phenomenon has always existed, and it is not something that can be changed by anyone.

Princess Zhending has a wide heart and a fat body, she can see it, and she doesn't care, she gave everything she wanted to Emperor Yanchang.

Princess Zhending thinks so, it doesn't mean that other princesses are willing to be inferior.

Princess Yicheng was not convinced, Wang Ronghua kept mocking her, making her heart distorted, and the differential treatment of the princess and prince in the palace, Princess Yicheng became more and more indignant.

They are all nobles, who is lower than whom?

Princess Yicheng is not happy, so she has to make trouble.

"Father, my son thinks you are not good to my sister."

Princess Yicheng's words can be described as thunder on the ground.

When Emperor Yanchang heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why did Yicheng say this?" ”

He asked himself that he was very good to several princesses, and all the ones that should be given were given, and the food was all rich and prosperous and close to the capital, and more was to choose better horses, including but not limited to the horses whose parents held great power, or the horses had a good future, and they could be married to princesses.

So the question is, where does the bad in Princess Yicheng's mouth come from?

Princess Yicheng talked eloquently, "Father, when you named the second prince as Prince Shen in the past, you received much more fief rewards than our princesses, even my younger brother, although the fifth prince has not been crowned king, but there is a high probability that he will also be a king in the future, and there is no doubt that the reward is more than us." So, Father, do you think this is reasonable? ”

Prince Shen is in the past, but his treatment has always made Princess Yicheng angry.

When will they be princesses and get so many rewards?

"This ......"

Emperor Yanchang was stunned.

Since ancient times, the treatment of princesses and princes has been different, the prince wants to inherit the throne, the princesses want to marry, and those who feel sorry for the princess will be given a few more good land, and they can choose a good family when they get married.

Where is it said that the princess and the prince should be equal in terms of food and eup?

"Father, although we are all princesses, not princes, but we are all close relatives, so we don't want our princess to be a dwarf."

Princess Yicheng said, "Our princess was born to bathe in heaven's grace, what a magnificence, it was God's instruction to make us princesses, father, if you really feel sorry for your sister, then you have to compare the prince's food and give your sister more good." ”

Speaking of this, Princess Yicheng looked at the stunned Princess Zhending, "Sister, do you think I'm right?" Do you get more than one-third of the princes' annual income from the fiefdoms? ”

“……”

There was silence all around.

Princess Yicheng is right, the favored princesses eat far less than the princes, and the unfavored princes are treated more nourished and richer than the princesses.

Princess Yicheng's mentality is unbalanced, why?

Are they worse than the prince? Just because they're men, is everything better than them?

Princess Yicheng's words are equivalent to throwing a stone in everyone's hearts, and the water is rippling.

Emperor Yanchang was thoughtful, "What? Do you want fiefdoms in a dozen states? ”

Generally, if the princess is favored, it will be rewarded by a county, at most dozens of households, and the prince who is not favored will be different The population of a state must be a county, and it is clear which is higher and which is lower.

"If my father dares to give it, we will dare to ask for it."

Princess Yicheng is neither humble nor arrogant.

These words had been held in her heart for a long time, and when she saw that those princes had a lot of money, her heart was blocked.

"Your Majesty, that's all Yicheng said casually, you can't take it seriously."

Wang Ronghua was taken aback, Princess Yicheng said such things silently, and she was not afraid that Emperor Yanchang would offend their mother and daughter.

Emperor Yanchang didn't say good or bad.

At this time, the eldest princess of Changping, who was present, spoke, "I think Yicheng is right, even when this princess is the most beautiful, the food she gets is far less than that of the prince and the king, less than half." That's not fair. ”

The eldest princess of Changping did not give herself many benefits in the first imperial dynasty, including but not limited to the replacement of good fiefs. Changping is already a very good place, developed and close to the capital, but the eldest princess of Changping does not have as much food as the prince and the prince, and this inequality between men and women is really doomed from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that what Princess Yicheng and the eldest princess said is not unreasonable."

Queen Lu earns 200,000 yuan a year, which is much more than ordinary concubines. In terms of treatment, the queen's treatment is definitely better than that of the eldest princess.

There is not much difference in the treatment of princesses and princesses, princesses rely on their husbands, and princesses rely more on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that Princess Yicheng is right." Princess Zhending also looked at Princess Yicheng's words in this way.

Is there anything Princess Yicheng said that is wrong? The princes and princesses are too far apart from their fiefdoms.

"You guys, let's talk about this for the New Year." Emperor Yanchang couldn't cry or laugh, "These things are not in a hurry, what you want, I will slowly consider it." ”

It is impossible to ask for the fiefdom of the princess and prince to be equal all of a sudden, but the matter is man-made, Emperor Yanchang thought about it seriously, if he established that the princess and prince's food were equal in his dynasty, would there be a little change in the future?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yanchang shook his head, no matter what, the princess bathes in grace and nourishes the people, and she should always be treated like a pearl in her hand.

After this banquet, Emperor Yanchang specially summoned He Zhishang to discuss it seriously, and felt that something could be done.

"If it weren't for Yicheng's proposal, I wouldn't have found this."

It is impossible for Emperor Yanchang to treat his daughter and son as the same at once, because since ancient times, the prince inherits the throne and the princess marries.

Emperor Yanchang was willing to listen to the princess's opinion, put it on the tyrannical emperor, and killed it directly, regardless of whether you were right or not.

"Your Majesty, this matter is about etiquette and humility, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

He Zhishang has no objection to giving the princess good treatment, after all, the princess has no chance to cause trouble to the government and the opposition.

If the real princess and the prince are equal, will those rotten Confucians be willing?

"It's okay, the rules are said to be broken, and some rules are out of date and should be abolished."

Emperor Yanchang was unimpressed. There is no ancestral family law that says that a princess cannot be equal to a prince and cannot inherit the throne, or even a clear rule.

"Wei Fu, you and Ling Chao should have no objection to this issue."

Yuan Lingchao is very popular and very protective of women, according to her opinion, it is estimated that she agrees with Princess Yicheng's statement.

He Zhishang smiled, "She agrees with Princess Yicheng's opinion." ”

The gap between the princess and the prince is visible to the naked eye, and Yuan Lingchao is not blind and has a clear position to support Princess Yicheng.

"In that case, it's really worth considering."

Emperor Yanchang thought about it for a few days and had an answer.

He replaced all the princesses' food estates with states and counties equal to those of the prince, and the exclusive subordinate officials of several princesses were also equal to the prince's subordinate official grades, and their salaries were equal.

Such a decree has aroused a lot of criticism.

Many people said that the favorite daughter of the Son of Heaven should also be poisonous, and the etiquette law should not be exceeded, and the ancestral etiquette law should not be abolished.

Emperor Yanchang did not press and did not reply.

There was a lot of talk in the previous dynasty, and only a few remained silent.

The emperor has made up his mind, and it is useless to say it.

Anyway, those princesses were very happy, they really looked forward to the princess's food equivalent to the prince's food.

Princess Yicheng is regarded as a great hero, which can be described as a great contribution.

Princess Yicheng treated this indifferently, and others raised it without her.
