After hearing this, Shen Shixing arched his hand and said yes, and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! It is indeed not advisable to do it in the old way. ”

"Therefore, since women's education is very important, then set up an official office for women's education and guidance, and women's affairs cannot be separated from children, so there should be an official office for women's and children's affairs."

"Since this official office is set up for women and children, it is set up as an internal education prison!"

"The queen is responsible for the affairs of the internal education in the world, setting up officials at all levels under the name of the internal education supervisor and appointing officials at all levels, and these officials are all female officials."

"The development of this dynasty to the present, the queen is the mother of the world, can no longer only persuade the women of the world to pick mulberry textiles and teach husbands and children, but also in the name of motherhood, teach the mother of the world, not only to lead the harem, but also to do a good job in the education and guidance of women and children in the world;"

"What's more, I and Zhuqing are both men, and they don't understand the hearts of women and children in the world better than the queen, and the queen is the first wise person in the world, so she should take on this ministry."

After Zhu Yijun said this, he turned back to the queen behind the screen and said:

"Empress, after returning to Beijing, you can prepare for this."

The queen said yes through the screen.

The ancients called the education of women's boudoirs internal education, but Zhu Yijun used this word here as the name of the official in charge of women's and children's work.

In other words, since the Ming Dynasty has developed to the present, since the old etiquette has been abolished and the development of industry and commerce is still attached, it is naturally impossible to simply imprison women's thoughts and intellect as before in order to avoid various political risks.

This is the same thing that in essence, you can no longer fool the people.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be officials and officials who are specifically responsible for women and children.

After Zhu Yijun proposed such an arrangement, Li Chengliang chimed in and said: "Your Majesty, the light of the candle, the women of the New Rite era cannot only be judged as sluts and sluts, so it is easy for people to slander the New Rite, saying that the New Rite makes women bad!" It should be based on the actual situation, a clear screening, and then make appropriate modifications in the etiquette law, and can not be generalized, all of them are characterized by sluts, otherwise, the Duchess of Jiguo Wang, who cultivated the five sons of the Qi family, and the three ladies of Zhongshun who have meritorious service in the world, are difficult to call virtuous. ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"When the minister stated the current situation of the women in Wudi, he was indeed not rigorous, and as His Majesty and the cardinal said, it is indeed difficult to define the women of the new era with the old rites, and it is not necessary to use the old rites to characterize some women under the new customs as sluts and sluts.

Shen Shixing confessed at this time.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Master Shen is just stating the facts, he is saying that Wu Di's own people think that there are too many sluts and sluts in the hometown, and the people think so, what does it have to do with the master?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Shixing replied.

It didn't take long for Zhu Yijun to arrive at the Shen Mansion.

In order to welcome the driver, the Shen family built a new garden, and also invited many famous artists to build this new garden.

Therefore, when Zhu Yijun came, he was moved by the scenery in the new garden of the Shen family, and he was busy asking Shen Shixing to introduce him.

And until the evening, Zhu Yijun did not visit the garden again, and only summoned Shen Shixing alone in the study room that Shen Shixing built for him.

Zhu Yijun asked Shen Shixing: "As far as I know, there are not only many gardens in Suzhou, but also many literati and scholars, and these literati and scholars, if there are any new things recently, Master Shen must know a lot, and he said that he knows a lot with me." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Shixing responded, pointed to the pile of documents that had been placed in front of the imperial case, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, please take a look at these poems, they are all recent works of local literati. ”

After listening to it, Zhu Yijun really looked at these poems.

Zhu Yijun said while looking at it: "These poems are not badly written, and the writing is flying, but why are most of these poems mainly praising the first emperor?" ”

"The first emperor is famous for his natural saintliness!"

"But the literati Yashi praised the first emperor, and the meaning of this is naturally that he would rather attribute the great achievements of many people to the virtue of the first emperor and praise the first emperor, and blame the first emperor, saying that the first emperor is virtuous, rather than praising His Majesty!"

"Moreover, in order to be able to create an established fact, that is, it is better to say that all the current favorable policies are only the foundation laid by the first emperor."

After Shen Shixing said this, Zhu Yijun nodded.

Shen Shixing continued: "Their purpose is to make the people of the world think that His Majesty can create a prosperous era, but he has inherited the legacy of the previous emperor, and at best he is just a qualified monarch of the shoucheng. ”

"In this way, in the future, after thousands of generations, Your Majesty will only give Your Majesty an ordinary temple number."

Shen Shixing said it very clearly, which means that many literati in Suzhou are actually very dissatisfied with him Zhu Yijun in their hearts, so they only praise Emperor Longqing in secret, although they can't completely cover up many of the current cultural and martial arts, but they can also blow on Emperor Longqing, saying that Emperor Longqing has laid a good foundation, so as long as the emperor who succeeds to the throne is not too stupid and lazy, he can create such a great cause now.

To put it bluntly, these people are alluding to Zhu Yijun's lack of praise, but they are just lucky, even if they let a dog in this position, with the foundation laid by Emperor Longqing, they can create such a prosperous era.

Zhu Yijun felt a little disgusted after hearing this, but he still smiled and said: "They cover their ears and steal the bell like this, they are quite self-anesthetized, and they are mentally aware of their great meaning!" ”

Then, Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing: "It's just that why do they have to deceive themselves so much, what's the point of deceiving themselves like this?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"As soon as the local morale began to advocate conscience from their own inner understanding, they admired themselves, despised those who flattered the powerful, and were ashamed to praise those in power, and even thought that they should also praise the father of the dynasty, and gradually many literati and scholars thought that people were dirty people as long as they were in power, and most of them thought very highly of themselves, thinking that as long as I thought so, the world would be as I wished."

"The second reason is that although His Majesty has implemented many policies to benefit the people, he has not let the literati feel that they are high-quality people, such as exempting the whole people from military service, not only doctors, which makes them even more disliked;"

"The third is because although His Majesty recognizes that the people have human dignity, but also divides the people of the world into two classes with military and non-military status, so that the literati are also equal, so that the difference between the noble and the low becomes the difference between the noble and the low, and the people of the world believe that what the martial arts can do well, the literati can also do better, but now the noble and the low do not distinguish between civil and military, only the military and the civilian, so I am only willing to admit that Your Majesty can have the prosperity of today, but the first emperor has left a legacy of virtue and blessing the monarch, not Your Majesty's own virtue, and even if Your Majesty still insists on being noble and martial, it will only make the world more prosperous immediately! It's just that Your Majesty didn't do this, so I don't think Your Majesty is so holy! ”

"In addition, in addition to the many literati and scholars in Hongxiang who praised the first emperor, there are even many who praise the filial piety temple, and even think that the prosperous era is the legacy of the filial piety temple."

Syllable!

As soon as Shen Shixing finished speaking, Zhu Yijun slapped his palm on the table and stood up with a grim face.

Shen Shixing stood solemnly.

Zhu Yijun then sat back and asked, "Is there anything else besides this?" ”

"And!"

"If you say that you praise the first emperor and even the filial piety temple, you are simply affirming the previous kings, and you don't say anything about Your Majesty, and you are not disloyal to the country and the monarch."

"Those who miss Meng Yuan, and even advocate Hu Feng and Japanese customs, and pretend to be Tartars and Japanese ronin, and feel that they are extraordinary, are purely to trample on the new rites in this way of worshipping and degrading China! The more Your Majesty attaches importance to the consciousness of the nation and the expansion of their own civilization, the more they will do the opposite and destroy their own culture! ”

"Your Majesty can see these paintings and the inscriptions on the paintings, all of which are painted by many literati or invited others to paint themselves in Hufu, and some of them have been obtained."

"If Your Majesty makes an unannounced visit, you can also see that many literati and scholars like to wear Hu clothes and Japanese clothes to swagger through the market, and they are proud of themselves!"

Shen Shixing said at this time and hugged the paintings in a large bundle of painting jars in front of Zhu Yijun, and unfolded them one by one to show Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun said while looking at it: "I am unique to China, but as Chinese people, why should they despise themselves? ”

"Your Majesty has the right to see this as someone who has the heart to restore the old rites and not die, and he does not dare to oppose it openly, so he simply despises himself! After all, if a person despises himself and does not force others to do so, who can say anything? ”

"If the imperial court wants to take care of it, they will ask where is the freedom that Your Majesty has given to its people, and how can they even be controlled by what clothes they wear?"

After Shen Shixing said at this time, Zhu Yijun held his forehead and waved his hand: "Don't say it again!" ”

Shen Shixing said yes.

"Go out for a walk with me."

Zhu Yijun said a word at this time, and really walked outside.

Shen Shixing also followed.

At that time, the moon was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and the sky was full of stars.

Zhu Yijun climbed a tall building, looked at the bright lights around him, and then said, "Go on, is there anything else that makes me angry." ”

"Your Majesty, don't listen to it, there is a saying, don't be confused, don't be a master, some things are not good if you know too clearly."

Shen Shixing persuaded at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "Do you think you don't know if you don't say it?" ”

Shen Shixing suddenly realized after hearing this, and then said yes, and said: "In this case, the minister will ask Your Majesty to go to the Humble Administrator's Garden." ”

"I don't know what's new in this Humble Administrator's Garden."

And Zhu Yijun said a word, and went to the Humble Administrator's Garden overnight, and for a while, the army also surrounded the Humble Administrator's Garden in advance, and controlled the Xu family, the current owner of the Humble Administrator's Garden.

"I don't know that Your Majesty has suddenly arrived, and the ministers have missed the distance, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"

And when the gentleman Xu Jia came to Zhu Yijun, he hurriedly brought people to greet him with a panicked face, and said: "Your Majesty, there is evil in the family at present, so I can't invite Your Majesty to come to the house, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins!" (End of chapter)
