[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

Xue Baochai lightly touched the gauze wrapped around her head, her plump and round face was pale, and there was still a bit of fear in her heart that could not be suppressed.

Starting from the capital, no matter where you go, the scolding has never stopped at all. It is also common for people to smash shops, workshops and houses with rotten eggs and rotten leaves. out of expectation.

Recalling the scene of blood on the head and face that day, how can we not be afraid?But no matter how big the stone is and how hard it hits, it may be impossible to save the head without opening a big hole on the spot.

Baoyu, who had always supported her and followed her around, also expressed hesitation for the first time, and there were letters from her mother and brother in the capital, every word and every word was worried and heartbroken, all trying to persuade her to give up.

To be honest, in the face of such a difficult and dangerous situation and the desperate persuasion of my family members, it is impossible to say that I have not wavered at all.

too difficult.

In this world that is used to being controlled by men, it is really too difficult to do something against a man's will.

They didn't want to compete with men for anything, they just hoped that the women in this world could live a decent life, but in the eyes of those men, it would undoubtedly damage their interests and shake their superiority. control.

No matter how high-sounding the words of those acid scholars are, in fact, the bottom line is that they are only motivated by interests. This has been the case since ancient times. Those scholars are used to using these high-sounding principles to cover up their hypocritical and selfish nature.

There are too many things that seem beautiful, but they can't stand to be smashed and smashed.

The corner of Xue Baochai's mouth couldn't help but twitched a sneer, and the fear just now was gone in his eyes, only contempt remained.

"Your Majesty is very worried about your safety. It's okay to retreat to the capital to avoid the limelight if it's really not possible. The most important thing is to protect yourself no matter what."

Jia Lian, who was rushing all the way, was already looking ashamed, looking at the gauze with red blood stains on her head, and sighed sadly, "It is said that poor mountains and evil waters make troublesome people, why is this rich place in the south of the Yangtze River?" How could he be so brutal and fierce?"

Jia Baoyu poured him a cup of tea, and said in a muffled voice, "This is unusual. The poorer the place, the smaller the obstacles."

A place that is too poor does not have so many sordid Confucianism, only a few children from rich families can study for a few years, and there is no trouble.

The second is that they are so poor that they can’t even afford to eat. Suddenly having such a well-paid job is like a pie in the sky. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a battle of hungry wolves, who dares to jump Come out and say "no"?If that's not smashing people's jobs, what is it?

The reason why the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is so serious is that there are too many scholars; secondly, this matter has been simmering in the hearts of these people for too long after several years of fermentation; thirdly, the footbinding issue has been completely exposed Come out... Such a combination of all kinds will naturally explode.

After such an explanation, Jia Lian finally understood the whole story, and inevitably he frowned more tightly, "It seems that the situation is really not optimistic, why don't you go back to Beijing first according to your mother's advice? Ten thousand people's blood books have been submitted It's the Imperial Palace, they even dare to bite the imperial concubine, it can be seen that they are going crazy now."

"This time I smashed my head, and next time I get crazy, maybe I should be stabbed with a knife. Some scholars are stubborn and stubborn, and they will not let themselves go when they get anxious. It is hard to guarantee that they will go all the way." 'Woolen cloth."

Xue Baochai frowned, and asked, "How is your majesty doing now? What's the emperor's reaction?"

"The empress is still stable for the time being, but the atmosphere in the hall is really tense. Before I set off, the emperor hadn't made up his mind yet." After a pause, he sighed again: "I'm afraid it's confusing when I look at the situation, these people are too noisy In such a big battle, the emperor may inevitably have to compromise, otherwise how can it end?"

Is this really the end of it?

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable.

The days of running around in the past few years have been very hard, but every time I see so many women successfully walk out of the house, and see the spirits on their faces slowly changing... There is no doubt that this road is feasible, as long as you stick to it , after more than ten years or decades, it will definitely be very different from what it is today.

But if it ends here, everything will be reduced to ashes, including everything that has been done before will return to its original position, and the next time I want to start this road again, I don’t know when it will be, at least she and the imperial concubine I'm afraid I won't be able to wait in this lifetime.

Not reconciled, how can you be reconciled?

After being silent for a long time, Xue Baochai finally gritted his teeth, "Don't be in a hurry to withdraw it. Since the emperor has not made a clear statement, it proves that there is still room for change. If the emperor really prohibits... It’s not too late to consider withdrawing at that time.”

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, a servant woman hurried in.

"Another group of scholars came to make trouble outside, yelling for us to go back to the capital, and the gate that was just cleaned up was smashed again..."

"They're scared." Xue Baochai sneered, "I'm so impatient and jumping around to put pressure, I just want to force this to end as soon as possible and everyone returns."

Jia Lian jumped up and said angrily, "Where do these people have the courage to act so recklessly? What about the government? Just ignore them and let them make trouble?"

"What should we do? With so many scholars, can they all be arrested one by one? Then something serious will happen." Jia Baoyu shook his head with a look of helplessness on his face.

There is a saying that the law does not blame the public.

It would be useful to directly arrest individual troublemakers as a deterrent, but with such a large number of people, it is absolutely unfeasible to use iron and blood methods to suppress them. If one fails to cause riots, the government is also afraid.

Xue Baochai also became angry, and said with a sneer, "I'm short of everything except money! How many bodyguards and martial arts schools in the city invite me back to serve as guards, and if they dare to make trouble, they will be served with sticks! The thugs will come to the door There is no reason not to make people resist, I want to see what the government can do!"

Isn't it because of the large number of people?She doesn't have so many people, but she is worth as much as silver!Unfortunately, there has always been money in this world that can turn ghosts around, and she can afford as many people as she wants!

It's nothing more than a group of sour scholars who have no power to restrain their chickens. It's really lawless if they don't give them a little bit of trouble!

Before Jia Lian returned to the capital, the letter had already arrived in Lin Daiyu's hands.

The two sisters looked at each other in blank dismay, with complicated emotions.

For this courage and unyielding energy, many so-called seven-foot men would feel ashamed.

"This matter is too noisy. I'm afraid it won't be long before a decision is made. Did my sister have any countermeasures? Or..."

Lin Shiyu thought about it: "I have some ideas, but I still need some help from my brother-in-law."

The two sisters bit their ears and muttered to each other. After half an hour, Lin Daiyu left in a hurry.

"Lianyi, go to the front and say something, please come here when the emperor is free."

What should I do if I encounter a group of obstacles in the middle of the road?Nothing less than four words - intimidation and temptation.

Either forcefully repel them with thunder, or use lures to make them submit obediently.

Regarding this matter, one is that there are thousands of literati in the world, and the base is too large, and the other is that the relationship between Manchu and Han is already tense, and they need to be more careful, so intimidation is obviously absolutely not advisable.

Then there is only temptation left.

Scholars have always been arrogant and disdainful of yellow and white things. If you give money to others, you will be smashed back, and you will have to be spurned, but then there is really no way to lure them?

I'm afraid not.

In the past, no matter which dynasty or generation, anyone with a little ability must send his son to study, and the young and old of the family who are not capable have to send their son to study even if they tighten their belts. What is the plan?Is it possible to achieve a picture of "reading makes people understand"?After all, are you still looking forward to the day when the fish jumps into the sky?

For ordinary people, this is the only way for the whole family to cross classes.

It can be seen from this that self-confidence is not really lofty, and even compared with many people, the desires of these scholars are more profound and persistent, which means that it is easier to be tempted.

"Among the huge group of scholars, the majority are the children of ordinary civilians. Not to mention [-]% or [-]%, at least [-]% to [-]% are sufficient, but why has there been a saying from ancient times to the present that 'a poor family is hard to come by a noble son'?"

"The concubine's younger brother was in high school when he was a teenager. Even if he directly participated in Chunwei at that time, his ranking would not be far behind. My brother-in-law was the number one scholar at that time. Nalan was selected as a tribute at the age of 19 among the great talents, and there are others. There are countless young talents from big families... Looking at the students from poor families, how many of such a huge group can reach the stage of becoming young talents?"

Say people are stupid?Of course not, but where is the difference?Poor educational resources.

The children of these big families have had countless collections of ancient books for them to read since they were young. With the guidance of this great Confucian or that famous teacher, even the same "Four Books and Five Classics" are actually very different.

Ordinary people spend huge sums of money to buy ordinary books, while the children of these big families read the editions annotated by famous officials and scholars in the past dynasties. The gap between the two is more than a gap. as huge.

It does seem unfair, but that is the reality, and it is not uncommon to say that "it is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son".

Hearing such a remark, Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and then secretly picked up the people who were nominated for the annual gold list... This is really the case, almost most of the people who came from really poor families have passed middle age, and even There are people whose hair has started to turn white, and those who have grown up at a young age like Cui Xiuneng and Rong Ruo are really rare.

The gap in talent must be an aspect that cannot be ignored, but the impact of the lack of acquired resources is indeed huge.

"What do you mean?" Kangxi frowned slightly.

Lin Shiyu said: "We can afford what they want. Colleges, famous teachers, and books that ordinary people can't touch in their lifetimes are nothing to us, but they are nothing to them. It is a priceless treasure, and no scholar can resist such a temptation."

"After all, the common people are the vast majority. As long as this part is settled, the remaining small part will not be a problem at all. In this way, not only the blocked road can continue to move forward, but it will also be a good thing for the court and the emperor." It's a great thing, after a few years or more, there will definitely be more students from poor families climbing up to share the emperor's worries."

Kangxi's eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Shiyu knew there was something to be said for this matter, and hurriedly continued: "The concubine has just confessed to my sister, and told her to go back and ask her brother-in-law if he can try to persuade the family to take out some ancient books and copy and print them. ...The depth of their family background is unimaginable to ordinary people, and some good things would be tempted by the great Confucians of the dynasty."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Kangxi shook his head and said with regret: "Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, and these big families are used to cherishing themselves. They treat them as family treasures and refuse to show them easily, so how can they be willing to give them to others?" People of the world?"

"Just give it a try. If you are willing, it will be the best. If you are not, it will not be a problem. The collections of the royal family and ordinary scholarly families like us are enough. The concubine also knows that this matter may be difficult, so I will not hide it." The emperor said, in fact, the original intention of the concubines is really not in this regard, but to invite the descendants of these aristocratic families to come out of the mountain as teachers."

"Is it because you are a drunkard that you don't want to drink?" Kangxi looked at her in surprise, and after careful consideration, he felt that this might really work.

Make a very difficult request first, and those people will reject it in all likelihood, so that's okay, and then the next best thing... After all, it is the royal family who opened the mouth. If you refuse again and again, you will not give any face up?Not necessarily have the guts.

Furthermore, "being good at being a teacher" is actually a common problem of many people who are conceited about their talents and learning. How beautiful are the peaches and plums all over the world?If you teach a few more champions, Tanhualang, it will be even more glorious for a lifetime.

Judging from Cui Xiuneng's move to become an official through the imperial examination, these once glorious and prominent families may not necessarily be willing to be lonely without desires and desires. Can they really refuse the opportunity to regain their fame and respect?

The Kong family in Qufu, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Lu family in Fanyang...these former famous families are inextricably linked to each other, and their status among scholars is by no means ordinary. If you really can, please come out , that is definitely going to be crowded by people, who still cares about other things?

"You can really pinch the weaknesses of those scholars to death." Kangxi couldn't help feeling, "Everyone in the world can't escape the word desire." Even if you are a monk, isn't it a desire to become a Buddha immediately?

Anyone who seeks something can't escape the drive of profit, it depends on how to "prescribe the right medicine".

After pondering for a while, Kangxi nodded, "This plan is feasible."

Lin Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and a faint smile finally appeared on his face.

It doesn't matter if you work hard, as long as you can continue what you want to do, no matter how much effort you spend, it's worth it.

"One more thing... When the men's academy is established, can the concubine be allowed to also run a women's academy?"

"Women's College?" Kangxi looked at her puzzled, and the finger wrench in his hand began to turn unconsciously again, obviously thinking about something.

Lin Shiyu was not in a hurry, and explained: "Judging from the situation in the past few years, it is extremely difficult to abolish footbinding. After thinking about it, I still feel that the heart disease needs to be cured. Afraid of corruption, it is still necessary to start with the mind, so as to achieve the goal of radical cure, not just a superficial compromise. If the invisible knife on the neck disappears one day in the future, will everything be revived again? "

"I have to admit that, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, when they first came into contact with this world, they were almost always accompanied by their mothers, and they were greatly influenced by their mothers..."

An excuse that is not entirely an excuse, in fact, it is to elevate the status of women, but different classes need to use different methods.

Most of the women from common people’s homes don’t know a few big characters, and it’s based on practical reasons. Opening up the path of economic income is extremely effective. They don’t understand the sour etiquette. Often, whoever earns money to support the family will have a hard waist. It's that simple and rude.

However, these women in the middle and upper classes are different, and they are also the most difficult existence, because what they heard and saw when they were young has already penetrated into their bones, and "Four Books for Women" is an enlightenment reading, and it can be said that they have suffered the most.

If you want such a group to have the consciousness of "standing up", you have to tear it down from the root. Since the ideas are rotten, you should dig them out and instill them with new and correct ideas.

In this era, girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old should marry and have children, and those who can be sent to the academy will not be more than thirteen or fourteen years old at most. There is hope for nothing.

If a smelly man doesn't give a woman a serious chance to study, then she will give it to her.

The "Four Books for Women" should not be held as a treasure, it should be thrown in the faces of those stinky men.

Kangxi was silent for a long time without responding, neither saying good nor bad, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Faced with this situation, Lin Shiyu's heart began to drop uncontrollably. Just when she thought that this matter might not be possible, unexpectedly, this master clicked his nobility. head.

Now Lin Shiyu was startled.

"You can do it if you want to do it. Just one thing. In any case, don't act too hastily. It's right to moisten things carefully and silently." Kangxi stood up, dusted the unnecessary dust on his sleeves, and said lightly: "I'll go back and deal with Jiangnan first. I'll see you and Guoguo some other day."

Of course he knew that the woman hadn't said the whole thing and was hiding something, but...he really wanted to see what waves this woman could make.

Judging from his understanding of this woman over the years, she doesn't seem to be ambitious, and her desire for power is very low. It is precisely because of this that he is even more curious, what is the purpose of all this trouble?He waited and saw, after all, they were nothing more than a group of weak women, if there was something really wrong, it would be nothing more than a word from him, and it could be crushed with a single finger.

He is not afraid that this woman has some thoughts, the sooner it is exposed, the better, so it is impossible to stop her, let her do it.

It wasn't until the others disappeared for a long time that Lin Shiyu came back to his senses, with a dazed and suspicious look on his face.

The mouth loosened too quickly, and I always felt hairy in my heart.

Lin Shiyu couldn't help muttering, but put it down in an instant.

In short, she has a clear conscience, one doesn't want to participate in politics, and the other doesn't want to seize the throne, she just has her eyes on female compatriots, no matter what he doubts, it's up to him.

"Rianyi, quickly bring the pen and ink."

……

As expected, it is delusional to want to take out some good things from those aristocratic families, but fortunately, it is not a problem to be a teacher and teach students. Several big families have given affirmative answers one after another, just waiting for the academy to be completed , each of them will send people there.

At the same time, a lot of books in the palace and the books in the ministers' homes were taken out, and the Hanlin Academy had another job-copying one by one, and then printing them in batches.

All preparations are in full swing.

At that time, a group of scholars were still dancing outside Xue Baochai's house.

The nursing home that was hired with a lot of money is extremely deterrent. When hundreds of big men with sticks stand there, a group of scholars are vulnerable like weak chickens. I will really fall down mercilessly, without fooling people in the slightest.

After trying it a few times, many people were injured, so no one dared to do anything wrong again. How can I drive people away if things can't be smashed?Then stand outside and curse at people.

It's not really a bad word, but it's really mean for a scholar to scold someone. The meanness that pierces directly to the heart, not only scolding Xue Baochai, but also Lin Shiyu, is really daring.

When he was furious and cursing vigorously, he suddenly saw a few scholars running over from a distance, their faces flushed and trembling, and they shouted loudly: "The royal family is about to open an academy, and there are all kinds of books in the royal collection and the collections of dignitaries and dignitaries. We have invited the children of Kong, Cui and other aristocratic families to be our husbands! Our humble children have a bright future!"

All the noise stopped abruptly in an instant, and after a strange silence, there was a "boom" and there was an uproar again. Everyone rushed up and dragged the scholars to ask whether it was true or not.

Just at this time, the clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the huge rumbling thunder continued to be heard from the top of the head, and the terrifying coercion instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.

While everyone was in a daze, amidst the sound of "crackling", it seemed that countless bolts of lightning fell across the city in an instant, followed by screams one after another, which made people feel creepy.

"It's scourge! It must be scourge!"

"They targeted the imperial concubine, God is angry!"

"God, have mercy! It's none of my business, I have never disrespected the imperial concubine!"

"Why are you still standing there? Stay away from them, don't be implicated!"

At this time, the closed door suddenly opened.

Xue Baochai looked up at the dark clouds and crackling lightning in the sky, then at the scorched black area lying on the ground, a cheerful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to make these desperate people feel better. Into the endless abyss.

"The Imperial Concubine specifically asked me to come here to see who will be punished by the heavens. Anyone who has been punished by the heavens will be counted as one, and the academy will not accept them!"
