Chapter 641: Emperor, Concubine

Pei Yao's life is actually very fast.

He ascended the throne in his twenties, and in ten years, he opened up territory for Daqi and doubled its territory.

In the history of Daqi, it is definitely a merit that will go down through the ages.

Especially although Pei Yao fought, he was not warlike, and after taking the Shangyang Kingdom in the north, he worked hard and devoted his mind to development.

It's not like there are so many kings who like to fight, take pleasure in victory, and only care about fighting wars and don't care about the construction of the rear.

Therefore, after the annexation of Shangyang Kingdom, at the beginning, the people of Shangyang Kingdom and the officials of the old dynasty still had national hatred and family hatred, but after a long time, they saw and experienced with their own eyes that life was getting better and better, and no one mentioned the old things anymore.

Speaking of which, Pei Yao is a wise gentleman and is good at governing the country, which is one thing, and then he relies on his peers to set off.

When the Lin royal family was there, Lin Chen, a faint monarch, was a villain and a virtuous minister, which made the people unhappy, and naturally the people would soon find out that the new monarch was good.

Especially Pei Yao is not a cautious person, he also uses the capable and virtuous people of Shangyang Kingdom, and among the old ministers, those who have the ability and really want to do things for the people are given opportunities.

And the ordinary people and traders of Shangyang Kingdom are also treated the same as the people of Daqi, and there is no difference in the situation of forced labor and taxation.

In this way, it is naturally deeply popular.

Not only Pei Yao, but also in the harem, Fang Yu was also silently doing things on the side.

After the dust settled, Fang Yu felt that since Pei Yao wanted to open up a new era, it was better to put some effort into women.

It is naturally impossible to make all the rights of women and men equal, and it is not so easy to liberate the fixed thinking for many years, besides, Fang Yu, as a native of this era, can't think of this.

But all she could think of was giving women the opportunity to study.

Opened a girls' academy for women to study.

Originally, the ladies of large families were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they would not teach them the same political, historical and national policies as men.

But as long as you are literate, you can read the books you want to read, and you can understand reason.

When the world praises sensible and excellent women, don't they also use the word knowledgeable?

Pei Yao has lived in the circle since he was a child, except for the maids, almost all the women around him are literate and hyphenated, especially his own three daughters, all of whom are the same as the princes, enlightened at the age of three, reading and literacy, and not bad, so for Pei Yao, it is not an unacceptable thing to let women study.

So after Fang Yu mentioned this matter to him, Pei Yao expressed his support.

Therefore, Fang Yu asked his younger sister Qu Jingruo outside the palace to help and opened the first women's academy in Daqi.

Needless to say, the people who come to study are all the ladies of Kyoto's official eunuchs.

Fang Yu is not in a hurry, this is just the beginning.

If this women's academy can be opened, it will be able to let more people see that it is beneficial for women to study.

Even if the girls from poor families can't afford to read, these girls who have read books have changed their thinking, and there will always be people who stand up one by one and slowly change the world.

Fang Yu knew that even if she became a concubine, it would be impossible for her to make earth-shaking changes on her own.

Solidified cognition needs to be melted from generation to generation.

In fact, even she couldn't imagine that the women of later generations could hold up half the sky.

She wants the girls to study now, but she doesn't want the girls to be confined to a house, no matter how smart and excellent, they will be trapped for the rest of their lives.

Over the years, standing by Pei Yao's side, Fang Yu has more opportunities than other women to get in touch with the government, Shi Ce, and other things that these women have no chance to learn.

Fang Yu felt that if he could understand, learn, and occasionally put forward some good opinions for Pei Yao, then other women in the world would definitely be able to, or even do better.

It's just that first of all, these smart girls should have the opportunity to read.

Therefore, even if those officials send their daughters to study, just to tie up with her, the noble concubine, and cheer her up, even if the husband only teaches poetry and songs, as long as the girls are literate, you can no longer frame her, and they are not allowed to read other books and learn other truths on their own.

And those women who didn't have the opportunity to study, Fang Yu thought about it and chose to pay for the embroidery workshop.

As long as the girls are willing to come, willing to learn the craft, willing to work hard, then there will be an income.

Nowadays, ordinary people still farm for a living, and women are naturally weaker than men in the work they do, but they can have other ways to make a living.

In fact, what Fang Yu did was indeed useful.

Originally, many girls who would have been bound by marriage early, because they could enter the embroidery workshop, they could create a value for the family that was not inferior to that of men, and they were no longer casually like objects, and their lives were arranged by the family at will.

Seeing all these in his eyes, Pei Yao occasionally laughed and said that it was quite a shame to give Fang Yu a heroine.

This is not a sarcasm, Pei Yao is indeed admired.

He never liked incompetent and stupid women.

However, the female prime minister can't seal it, but Pei Yao really wants to seal Fang Yu as the imperial concubine.

In fact, after the fourth prince was made the crown prince, and after the queen went out of the palace to pray for blessings in the national temple, there was a secret voice in the palace, guessing that Concubine Zhao was probably going to be crowned the imperial concubine.

Seven or eight years later, this sound has evolved into something else.

Probably, although Concubine Zhao is the biological mother of the prince, but she is a little worse than her, there is a queen of the main palace who was born in the Lu family, even if the queen is in the national temple and does not return to the palace, the emperor will not crown Concubine Zhao as the imperial concubine.

After all, the imperial concubine is in the same position.

However, this kind of speculation, at the root of it, is actually Fang Yu's feeling that now is not the time.

Originally, in Fang Yu's eyes, the concubine and the imperial concubine were similar, and others said that it was someone else's business, but Fang Yu felt that when the prince got married, it would not be too late to add the seal.

It's not a good thing to seal it too early.

When the crown prince was first established, the queen went out of the palace to pray for blessings, which was under the banner of serving the country and the people, and at that time some people felt that the queen was forced out of the palace.

Although it doesn't matter if the name is false, there is no need to ask the court to talk about the emperor's hypocrisy because of a position, and feel that the prince's biological mother is vicious and cunning.

Of course, the most important thing is the previous reason, Fang Yu is thinking about Pei Yao, isn't it?

It is precisely because of this that Pei Yao kept this matter firmly in mind and never forgot it.

After the news of the wedding of the four princes came out, he ordered Jin Fangyu to be the imperial concubine.

Fang Yu thought that when he came here, his life would be completely relaxed, and he was just waiting to send his youngest daughter to get married, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince had just got married, and the first restless person turned out to be Pei Yao.

"I'm going to patrol the north!"

"If you don't sleep, where will you have the strength to tour the north, and the emperor will sleep."

Fang Yu turned over and prevaricated.

But I didn't expect Pei Yao not only not to sleep, but also reached out to break her over, and said with great interest.

"No, I'm going south, I'm going to sea!"

"Okay, good, the emperor goes to fish for pearls." Fang Yu turned his back again and wrapped the quilt, "Remember to bring the biggest back to the concubine." ”

"You don't need to bring it back, you go with me!"

Pei Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes lit up like a lamp.

"Okay, good, go and go."

Fang Yu was so sleepy that he was perfunctory, and suddenly reacted and sat up.

"Huh?!" (End of chapter)
