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

Kangxi is a man, so it is naturally impossible for him to empathize with a woman's situation and even feel pity, sorrow, anger and other emotions because of it, but the cruel situation she pointed out right now still made him hesitate.

Just as the imperial concubine Cai said - the king regards the people as his heaven.

The foundation of a country is the people. If the country is to prosper, the first thing that must be solved is the population problem. More lives can bring more vitality and more possibilities to the country. Otherwise, all plans and all ambitions will be in vain. It's empty talk, and it's the same as "a clever woman can't cook without rice".

But because the traditional concept of patriarchal patriarchy has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow since ancient times, many poor people often choose to abandon and kill their daughters after giving birth. This has been developed from generation to generation. So far, the number of men in the entire Qing Dynasty has far exceeded that of women. .

It is self-evident what the consequences of such a situation will be.

What's more, ministers and wealthy businessmen are full of beauties in their backyards, and even landlords with a little surplus can get a few concubines, which undoubtedly makes the already extremely unbalanced status quo more skewed and excessive, resulting in the marriage of ordinary people at the bottom. It's getting harder.

Prosperous places such as the capital and the south of the Yangtze River are still doing well, and it is not difficult to find out how severe the situation is when you walk to other remote and barren places, and the consequences of such a situation are not just the appearance of a sharp drop in population .

It is undeniable that women are an indispensable existence in the development of a country.

Naturally, he had already noticed this, but just like what the imperial concubine said, how easy is it to change all this on his own?Even his explicit prohibition of abandoning and strangling female infants is unlikely to have much effect.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not uncommon for the people below to be obedient and obedient. To take a step back, even if the local government can take it seriously, you must know that most of the people living in a village are people from the same clan, and it is almost unlikely that there will be people Report to the official, even if the official government has the heart, there is no way to catch it.

Just like the ban on foot binding, forcing it won't work, it's just thankless.

For this matter, he has discussed with the ministers more than once, but he failed to negotiate a good solution after all. Any incentive policy will not determine whether the country can live, and if the burden is too large, it will cause other problems. A series of problems. Second, even if there is some effect, it is only temporary and will not have a long-term effect. Unless the country can continue to implement incentive policies... then it is purely a fantasy.

Right now, when the imperial concubine said this, it instantly brightened his eyes.

This method sounds absurd at first glance, but it is not impossible when you think about it carefully. It is conceivable that the effect is minimal and slow, but the impact is long-term. If it continues to develop well, it may really form a virtuous circle.

There was a deathly silence in the hall, and I don't know how long the time has passed. Lin Shiyu could only feel that "Gulu Gulu" was already singing the empty city plan in her belly.

"Hungry?" Kangxi suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "I was absorbed in thinking about it for a while." Then he ordered Li Dequan to get some food.

Lin Shiyu covered her protruding abdomen with both hands, and when she heard the "gurgling" sound, she blushed with embarrassment, and muttered: "This child is a petite child, and I can't bear the slightest grievance."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, "Baocheng is always talking about wanting the Queen Mother to give birth to a beautiful little sister. It seems that this time, maybe he will really get his wish."

"It must be a cute little princess." Lin Shiyu nodded repeatedly to express her approval, and suddenly thought of something, and smiled again, "It's fine if it's a little princess, if not... I'm afraid this child won't be able to please, his second brother The fourth brother has already gritted his teeth and geared up to deal with him."

"It should be cleaned up, I have never seen such a tossing person."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Li Dequan had already walked in with a food box, which contained a bowl of bird's nest porridge and two plates of snacks, which were always kept in the imperial dining room to meet the needs of the masters at any time, simply to fill their stomachs first.

"Does the emperor want to eat some?"

Lin Shiyu was just asking casually to be polite, but the man didn't speak, just looked at her with a half-smile, and she was stunned for a while.

What does this mean?

Holding the pastry in his hand, he didn't want to eat it or not, so he was awkward in the same place, and suddenly caught his eyes as if he was looking at the piece of pastry in his hand. Mouth...

Seeing that the old man gave her a "satisfied" look, he opened his mouth and swallowed the pastry in one bite, and his soft lips touched her fingertips intentionally or unintentionally.

"..." Spit, big pig's trotter.

Lin Shiyu secretly rolled her eyes, and immediately lowered her head to pretend to be shy when she met his ambiguous eyes, and focused all her attention on the bird's nest porridge.

"cough……"

"Cough cough..."

Helpless, Lin Shiyu had no choice but to raise his head, resigned to his fate, took another piece of pastry and put it into his mouth.

After finally eradicating all those things, Lin Shiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that the master still had something to say.

"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Whether it's good or bad, I can give you an accurate answer, isn't there anyone who is so obsessed?

Kangxi held the booklet in his hand, and when he heard the words, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and said, "Although no one in the court would dare to use this incident against you after what happened today, but the literati in the world There are tens of thousands of people, and there are countless stubborn people, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop people's verbal criticism, you can think clearly."

Lin Shiyu's eyes lit up, "Does the emperor agree?"

"Is it important to disagree with me?" Kangxi sneered, half-truthfully said: "Behead first and play later, at least you will play again. You are lucky, if you didn't make too much trouble today, you were directly stabbed in front of me by the minister. Do you still want to hide it and keep silent?"

"The concubine knows his mistake." Lin Shiyu bowed his head obediently and admitted his mistake very wisely, grabbed his sleeve with two fingers and shook it, shaking it, and said angrily: "The concubine is afraid that the emperor will think too much and that the emperor will not agree. That's why I didn't dare to make a sound, if I knew the emperor supported my concubine in this way, how could my concubine be so worried day and night, I can't sleep at ease."

Day and night in fear?Can't sleep well?

Oh, I really didn't see it.

Kangxi snorted coldly and remained silent.

"Your majesty...the concubine will never dare to do things without telling the emperor in the future, so the emperor will spare the concubine this time."

He had brought out all his acting skills in his life, and it took him half an hour to finally let this master loose his mouth. The moment he stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, he couldn't stop gnashing his teeth and cursing in his heart.

Fortunately, in any case, this hurdle has been successfully passed, and there are still a few things to do next?

The series of actions inevitably made people mutter in their hearts, why don't they delay for two years?

Lin Shiyu felt worried again.

The sedan chair returned to Chengqian Palace without any rush, but unexpectedly received a warm welcome from all the people, including all the sisters.

"Why are they all gathered all of a sudden? Can't wait for me to play mahjong?" Lin Shiyu joked with a smile.

Concubine Yi stepped forward to push Ripples away, supported her personally and said with a smile: "Looking at your mother's expression, you know that nothing is wrong, right? The emperor never punished you, did he?"

On the other side, nobleman Wei also took the place of Nanny Yu, and said angrily, "Suddenly I heard that those ministers got into trouble with your majesty, it scared me to death. Is your majesty okay? Have you ever been scared?"

"Emother..."

Lin Shiyu stroked his fat son's head, and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Speaking of scaring, those ministers are probably quite scared."

Hearing this, Tong Zhilan also pursed her lips, with a relieved expression on her face, "I heard that several of them were carried out sideways, they deserve it!"

A group of old men bullying a pregnant woman together when they have nothing to do is really stinky and shameless!

When everyone returned to the hall, they sat down, and Concubine Yi couldn't wait to say: "Just now I heard that the empress won a complete victory in the battle against the Confucians in the Qianqing Palace, but I'm so curious, tell us quickly?"

Although the other people didn't speak, their eyes were full of eagerness when they looked at her, and even Yin Xiaosi had an expression of curiosity and anticipation eagerly.

After all, there was nothing to do when he was free, so Lin Shiyu took a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and told the story one by one like a storyteller. ...The expression on his face changed back and forth, not to mention how exciting it was.

After listening to the whole process, Concubine Yi immediately slapped the table and burst out laughing, "I really want to see those sour and embarrassed expressions, your empress is too good!" Yes, she looks like a little girl.

"Isn't it stupid for you to read Confucianism? You have never done many practical things for the common people. Instead, you have a bunch of dogma when you are facing women. I don't know what kind of sage book you are reading!"

Concubine Rong couldn't help sneering, and the corners of her eyes and brows revealed her contempt and disgust for the screwdriver, "What kind of women's virtues and women's words are unethical and immoral, after all, is it because they are afraid that women will get out of control? That's why they put on the shackles and chains desperately. I can't wait to tie up the woman's hands and feet so that she can't move a step, it's really disgusting!"

"Isn't that the truth? When it comes to women, they keep their mouths open and shut, and the most ridiculous thing is that 'starving to death is a small matter of injustice is a big thing'." Concubine Yi curled her lips in disdain and sneered. : "If you really think that integrity is more important than anything else, you should not shave your head at the beginning. It is admirable to hold their integrity and die rather than surrender."

"What are you talking about? Your mouth is getting more and more inept." Lin Shiyu glared at her, but... so long ago, she couldn't help but slap those sour scholars with those words Yes, you are right, if you are so honest, why shave your head?

The most ridiculous thing is that I was afraid of losing my head and shaved my head, but I refused to let go of a woman's little feet. It is called "male surrender and female do not surrender", which is called "integrity"!But go to his uncle's bullshit integrity!

Co-authored for a long time, "Starvation is a small injustice, but a big one" is only applicable to women?

It's a pity that talking about shaving your head is too sensitive for Daqing, and it would be a thunderstorm if you pull it out.

Still not scolding enough.

The more I think about Lin Shiyu, the more regretful I feel. If only I could speak freely?She had to take off the faces of those sour scholars and step on them.

Concubine Yi shrank her neck obediently, and muttered with a smirk: "I really don't like those sour literati. I use all the big principles to strictly restrain others, and it's another set of 'consciousness' when it falls on me. Those who deal with current affairs are the best, they have the final say on everything."

"Your Majesty is the most powerful, she has reason and evidence to silence those people." Wei Guiren also had a look of admiration on his face, and said with a smile: "Those people look down on women the most in their bones, but now they are being used by a woman. The reason I am most proud of has been beaten, I'm afraid it's because I'm so angry."

"However, every woman who has never read any serious books will be stunned by those sour spittle stars. How can she relieve her anger like this? It's no wonder that people in the world rarely ask women to read sage books. If they are wise, it will be difficult." I have tamed and controlled it." Concubine Rong felt as if she had grasped a fatal point, and thoughtfully said: "I never cared much about what books my daughter reads, and now I have to hurry up while it is still too late."

Lin Shiyu agreed very much, "That's the point. If the books of sages are really useless, why are those men reading them? It's just nonsense to say that women's reading is useless. Read it yourself. The more books you read, the more truths you will understand, so that you will not be led by the nose everywhere, and you will be able to deal with things with a clear order and a clear mind instead of being led by others Words make me dizzy."

While the sisters were chatting about this matter, the streets and alleys outside were full of gossip.

In such a big capital city, only the imperial palace is shrouded in dark clouds and protected by thunder and lightning. No matter how you look at it, this is very unusual. It inevitably makes people think of the goddess, empress, noble concubine, and wildly guess who is bullying God. His own daughter has been punished by God.

It wasn't until those ministers were sent out of the palace sideways that the people who were scratching their hearts finally understood the cause and effect.

The concubine and concubine of the imperial concubine, who is so high above her, actually fought against the Confucian scholars for the sake of the poor people!Even if he was besieged by a group of old men with a big belly, he would not retreat a bit, but he gritted his teeth even under the tremendous pressure and criticism and insisted on making profits for the poor people!

The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as their heaven!

These words are too good, the imperial concubine and empress really take these grassroots people into her heart.

Most of the people are simple and honest people, whoever takes them to heart is a good person, not to mention that she is a weak pregnant woman... Just think about that scene, a weak young woman with a big belly was thrown A group of tall and burly old men surrounded and bullied, and they tried their best to refuse to let go and fight resolutely to the end... Just thinking about it makes people feel extremely worried and moved.

There was that emotional woman who couldn't help wiping away her tears, and dared not say some words, but in fact, at this moment, what countless people were thinking in their hearts was that they could be regarded as witnessing the legend of the mother in the world. wind.

Of course, the more you approve and support Lin Shiyu's actions, the more you will hate those who oppose it, especially when you hear the phrase "starving to death is a small injustice but a big one"... It doesn't matter if you don't know what it means, it doesn't hinder Someone who understands can explain.

After listening to the explanation, the people's noses were all crooked.

Don't you just want to make a living?How could there be any immorality or lack of integrity involved?Isn't there something wrong with this?

When they knew that there were still people who wanted to use this matter to force the emperor to abolish the position of imperial concubine, the common people would be even more furious.

"These imperial court officials who are full of selfishness don't pay attention to the suffering of us ordinary people at all!"

"That is to say, it's rare that the imperial concubine saw our troubles and wanted to help, but in the end she was almost bullied to death by them. This is too much!"

"If God hadn't opened his eyes to protect the imperial concubine, the empress would definitely be in trouble this time."

"What kind of bullshit ministers are these? No, I can't swallow this breath. Whether it's for my poor life today or to vent my anger on my mother, I have to tell those dog officials to know how powerful they are!" Said He rolled up his sleeves and turned around to go home, not knowing what he was doing.

Surrounded by a crowd filled with righteous indignation, the people seemed to understand something, and went back to their homes without saying a word.

As a result, the families of the important court officials headed by Suo'etu Mingzhu were very lively on this day.

People with baskets and buckets kept coming to the door, with rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, stones, swill, and all kinds of things, and what's more, they even brought two buckets of dung directly!

Ordinary common people are most afraid of these officials, and often want to walk around these streets when passing by, but now the angry common people don't care about anything anymore, facing the gates, plaques, and stone lions of each house. After smashing and splashing, the majestic mansion was turned into a mess in an instant. All kinds of smells mixed in one place gave off a strong stench, which made people sick from afar.

At first those gatekeepers wanted to stop them, but before they opened their mouths, they suffered disaster together with them, so they had to hide in a hurry to call for people, but the result was good, when they came out after calling out a bunch of people, the people were already winking. They scattered and ran away, leaving them with a stench and mess, but they didn't even leave a corner of their clothes.

Run away after fighting, not at all fond of fighting.

"Damn these untouchables!" The servant with a fierce face held a stick and gritted his teeth bitterly, "The dignified Suoxiang's mansion dares to be so presumptuous, I really don't know how to write the word dead! Think you'll be fine if you run away? Report to the official! One counts as one and all of them are arrested and sent to prison!"

"This... There is no way to catch this, and there are too many people." Isn't there another saying that the law does not blame the public?

"Why is there no way to catch them? It's better to catch them by mistake. In short, we must give these untouchables a little color. I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a big man with a big arm and a round waist and a sultry face coming in from the corner of the street with a wooden bucket, and he poured it on them without saying a word.

A bucket full of foul-smelling feces was splashed on the face, and everyone was so disgusted that they vomited on the spot. When they came back to their senses, the big man had already disappeared, and it was useless to let them jump around and scold their mothers.

That's all right, but the ones who are really uncomfortable are those high-minded and arrogant scholars, who are the most shameless people, and now they are very angry, ashamed and annoyed at this fate.

Those who were "attacked" were all officials ordered by the imperial court, not to mention Suo'etu and Mingzhu, who had power over the government and the public, and Shuntian Fu Yin was so worried that his hair was going bald when he received the letter.

It's fine if it's just a few or a dozen people making trouble, but there are at least a hundred people in this battle, can he catch them all?The common people had to smash his mansion as well.

Unable to do so, Shuntian Mansion Yin simply reported the situation directly.

In the end, Lin Shiyu still heard the farce from Kangxi's mouth, and for a moment her mouth was so surprised that she couldn't close it.

"Now your image in the eyes of the people is even taller and more glorious."

This sentence, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, immediately made Lin Shiyu's heart skip a beat.

There were many thoughts in my heart, but in the end, only a bright and bright smile bloomed on my face, "The reason why the people are so angry is in the final analysis only because of the attitude of those ministers who are superior and don't know the sufferings of the people. What I have done is correct, and it will definitely develop smoothly in the direction my concubine expects in the future!"

As if he didn't know the meaning of his words at all, he just showed no political sensitivity.

I don't know whether Kangxi believed it or not, but he never struggled with this issue any more. He smiled and brought up the subject, saying, "I'm going to the Mulan paddock in a few days... For the first time, I wanted to take you with me, but it's a pity that this child came too coincidentally."

It's a pity in his mouth, but in fact, no matter how he sounds, there is a hint of gloating.

Lin Shiyu's small face collapsed visibly to the naked eye, and he rubbed his belly with frustration and aggrieved, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "The emperor can go by himself, why bother to say that he is greedy for his concubines? Can I make my concubine forget in a daze?"

Kangxi was immediately amused and couldn't stop laughing, his face full of complacency and he was quite relieved, "In the first month, Xiaotangshan." Don't you want to play with me?Still tell me to shut the door?This time it's your turn to feel frustrated, right?As expected of my own flesh and blood, it was just right to come not too early or too late!

However, the big pig's hoof soon stopped laughing.

Originally thought it would be reasonable for the women in the harem to go to the Mulan paddock to let the wind go, so they would have to do all kinds of tricks and desperately beg to go together, but who knows that he just mentioned it, and one of those women counted as the other without even thinking about it. Just refused!

All rejected!

Concubine Yi excused that Xiaojiu was too young to go far away, and noblemen Wei and nobleman Dai said that the imperial concubine was too bored to be alone in the palace, so they stayed to make a play for him...even the one who gave birth to six children Concubine Rong doesn't care about him anymore, she said that the imperial concubine's energy is low and she has to help manage the harem!

What is this all about?

All of them are talking about imperial concubines, do you still remember whose concubine you are?
