Tang's dining table

"Your Majesty doesn't like women to participate in political affairs?" Yun Jin asked carefully.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "I really don't like women to become officials in the court, but I will allow women to achieve their wish to become officials in the court through continuous efforts for self-improvement."

Yun Jin asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Li Zhidao: "After a person reaches a certain level of excellence, whether he is a boy or a girl is not that important."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said, "After all, you are still not as good as your father."

Yun Jin nodded and said: "This is natural."

Li Zhi said: "It is common for our clans to be inferior to each other from generation to generation. It seems that your Yun clan is not immune to this."

Yun Jin said: "The only thing is to work hard to become stronger."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Working hard can only reach a certain height. If you want to reach the peak, you will have such ability if you are born with it. If you are not born with such ability, you will not have it.

You Aye is this kind of person, you are far from him. "

Yun Jin said unconvinced: "Is it related to Wei Chen's young age?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "No, you and your Aye are far apart..."

While the emperor was chatting with Yun Jin, Shangguan Wan'er was also led to Shangyang Palace by Taiping.

Shangguan Wan'er, who had left the Yun family, took off her gorgeous clothes and appeared in front of Wu Mei. She was just a very ordinary little girl. When Wu Mei saw her staring at her, she smiled and said, "You will hate me until you die." ?”

Shangguan Wan'er kowtowed on the ground and said, "No."

Wu Mei smiled and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Your ancestor died at my hands, your Aye died at my hands, your entire Shangguan clan died at my hands, even if you hate me, It’s also human nature.”

Shangguan Wan'er kowtowed and said: "My ancestor died in the struggle for power, my Aye died in having too high expectations, and my whole family died in greed. Each of them died in their own right, so there is nothing to be resentful about."

Wu Mei said: "I have heard that crows have the kindness to feed back, and lambs have the ability to kneel down to breastfeed. Why would you give up hatred so easily for your father and ancestors? Are you filial?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The main road reaches the sky and is so close to us that we naturally have no time to pay attention to the small roads."

Wu Mei laughed and said: "Our Tang Dynasty was founded on benevolence and filial piety, but you say that benevolence and filial piety are a small way?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "There are different levels of filial piety, and those who practice great filial piety do not stick to trivial matters."

Wu Mei asked in surprise: "What is your great filial piety?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "What our ancestors failed to accomplish, we show off our family style that our father failed to show off."

"Just you?"

Shangguan Wan'er prostrated again and whispered: "As long as Her Royal Highness the Queen is willing to use me, it will not be difficult to fulfill this great filial piety."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "That's true, but what can you do to thank me? In other words, what do you have that can make me favor you?"

Shangguan Wan'er knelt down straight, looked into the queen's eyes and said, "The little lady will naturally come up with something that satisfies the queen. However, the words the prince said made the little lady feel that she can satisfy the queen and give her a A place to live and settle down.”

Wu Mei smiled silently.

"It seems that Yunchu didn't expel you from the house, but you left the Yun family voluntarily."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The Yun family is a beautiful box for the little girl. In this box, the little girl will live a stable, wealthy and happy life. Even in the future, the prince and his wife will definitely give her A woman is looking for a good husband to spend her life with.

Of course, such a life is not what a little girl wants. "

Wu Mei looked at Taiping, Ying Wang Xian and Yu Wang Dan who were whispering not far away, and then said: "What did Yun Chu say that caused you to have such an illusion."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The prince said that the reason why the queen was at a disadvantage in the struggle for power with the prince was that the queen, as a woman, could only seize the imperial palace offices such as the Shaofu Prison, where the real power over the herdsmen was held. Even if the official can be partially recruited by the queen, it will only be a temporary measure and will not be loyal.

The prince also said that the army does not belong to the queen, and the local officials do not belong to the queen. Therefore, no matter how powerful the queen is, she cannot attack it with a single blow. The queen's powerful strength cannot be truly implemented. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, , those people gathered by the queen will definitely take refuge under the new emperor's door. The queen becomes the queen mother, and the best result is to live alone in the palace..."

After hearing what Shangguan Wan'er said, Wu Mei not only wasn't angry, but instead smiled and said, "Didn't Yun Chu say how to deal with it?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The prince said that the queen is the mother of the world, and half of the world is women. These ladies and girls should be born to belong to the queen.

The prince also said that if the queen cannot bring the most intelligent women in the world into the imperial court, then no matter how strong the queen is, she will eventually end up living in a secluded palace. "

Wu Mei laughed and said, "A woman is an official? You just listened to a few jokes from Yun Chu and hurriedly left the Yun family to join me?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "When my eldest brother Yun Jin defeated the barbarians in the southwest, he turned all the barbarian men from the southwest into bandits and led them to cause harm from the east to the end of the southwest. In the battle in the southwest, although the Tang Dynasty did not expend much troops, however, the southwest Thousands of villages across the land now have only groups of healthy women and children left.

The imperial court is about to send officials to the southwest to rule these villages full of women and children. The little girl thinks this is a very good opportunity. If the queen can send female officials to rule the villages full of women and children in the southwest, Her Royal Highness the Queen will The first batch of female local officials with practical experience as herders will be harvested.

The little girl is not talented, but she is willing to become the first batch of female officials to enter the southwest land of Her Majesty the Queen. "

Wu Mei looked at Shangguan Wan'er in surprise and said: "This is what you rely on to leave the Yun family, isn't it? However, I heard that the southwest is full of mist. As a little girl, you go to the southwest to become an official. You are not afraid of dying there." There?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The little girl desires great things, so naturally she is not afraid of danger."

Wu Mei waved her hand and said: "Go ahead and let me think about it."

When Shangguan Wan'er left, she once again said with hope: "This is the most important thing a little girl can do for the queen."

Wu Mei didn't answer, but Taiping held Wu Mei's arm and said, "Mother, a woman is so majestic as an official."

Wu Mei just smiled and did not respond to Taiping.

It wasn't until her two sons and one daughter left Shangyang Palace that Wu Mei whispered to the female official serving beside her: "Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi went to Chang'an, and the Yun family brought a little girl who had a feud with me. Give it to me and go check it out to see what Yun Chu's purpose is."

Yun Chu stood in the yard and raised his hand to catch a piece of burnt black flying dust from the air. He could vaguely tell that it was a leaf. This leaf was not burnt, but was burnt. Then he followed The wind fell to Luoyang City.

It stands to reason that after a large-scale wildfire breaks out, the local climate will change, and the dust in the air will increase, which will trigger a rainfall.

It's a pity that Beimang Mountain has been burned very badly, and the rain still hasn't fallen.

It can be seen that the moisture content in the air is very low.

When it gets dark, the watchmen shout over and over again, "It's dry and everything is dry, be careful about the candle." Their voices are dry and devoid of moisture at all.

Yunchu said to Yu Xiurong: "The weather this year is too abnormal."

Yu Xiurong said: "After six months, not a drop of rain has fallen. Husband, is God going to roast the people to death?"

Yun Chu said: "The drought in the north is also severe this year. The Juyan Sea flowed back into the Heihe River and dried up half of it. There was a drought in Dunhuang, the Shule River dried up, and the pastures were less than in previous years. Large areas of Populus euphratica forests in Ganzhou died. , the last shepherd in Loulan also left.

I'm worried that if this continues, war will break out again in the Western Regions because of pastures and oases. "

Yu Xiurong poured a cup of tea for Yun Chu, leaned against him and said, "The chaos in the world is caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. Nowadays, man-made disasters have decreased, but natural disasters have increased. God does not intend for people to live a good life." ?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "It's not up to anyone at all."

Yu Xiurong added: "Husband, Southwest seems to be pretty good."

Yun Chu said: "The reason why the southwest is not bad is that it just lost a population of 300,000 people. With the vast land and sparse population, life will be easier no matter what."

"Can the shepherd's goal be achieved?"

"If it can be achieved, the queen is now sitting in Sleepy City. She has a breakthrough point and will definitely go all out. Although the hundreds of North Gate bachelors don't have many talents, they still have the ability to get involved in the southwest."

"Emperor, the prince will not leave the position of herdsman officer to the queen."

"So, the Queen can only send out some female officials to conduct an experiment first."

"My husband has paved the way for the shepherd, but I don't know if this child can come out like this."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's definitely possible. If a woman can't do something that she can't do well, other women can't even do it. If Guangsi goes to the southwest with her, her success rate will be very high."

"Eleven years old, Gan Luo is only this age when he becomes prime minister."

"There is no way. Ever since I took her off the horns, she is destined to be different from the other women. She can only earn her own life and future."

"Do you want to get engaged to this child?" Yu Xiurong suddenly became energetic and asked Yun Chu.

"With the little bird?"

"Yes, husband, you have also seen that Xiaoniao is lazy. Although he is smart, he may not have a good life in the future if he is not willing to work hard. I think Guoguo is a capable man. After marrying him, I will treat Xiaoniao It’s a good helper.”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Don't, marriage really depends on fate. They will like each other in the future and we won't stop them if they want to be together. If there is no fate, then let's just go their separate ways. If they have to go If we work together, God knows what the result will be."

Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "My husband should have arranged all the things he should arrange in Luoyang. When will we return to Chang'an?"

Yun Chu said: "We can go back to Chang'an after the emperor has finished reviewing the things I have done recently. Speaking of which, we can use some conspiracies and tricks in Luoyang. After all, this is at the feet of the emperor, and everything will fall into the eyes of the emperor. .

Back in Chang'an, there would be no such good opportunity to use intrigues.

It’s too tiring to do things openly. "
