Happy Little Scholar

"Let's bring fried rice with eggs next time..."

Her Royal Highness the Princess was not satisfied with the combination of beggar's chicken and spirits. She raised her head and took another sip, tilting her head and said to Li Yi.

"no more chance……"

Li Yixin said, "What kind of flavor are these fried rice with wine?" He wiped the grease on his hands and said, "Han Daru fell ill. He was not frightened by you, but because of his popularity..." Yesterday afternoon, there were nearly a hundred women. They blocked the entrance of the Han family. The old woman in charge said that Han Daru had killed her daughter. She sat on the threshold of the Han family and cried for an hour. This made everyone in Kyoto know about what happened in the court. After opening, someone poured excrement on the front door of the Han family, and the words "Old Thief Han" and "The Great Traitor of the Country" were written on the wall... Regardless of the woman's life, this one thing can make his reputation plummet, and even his The students have all distanced themselves from him. If the government hadn’t intervened, the Han family’s front door would have been torn down..."

"Han Daru fell ill last night. I heard that he almost couldn't breathe. Han Daru's reputation as an old thief has been confirmed. Now the women in Kyoto are trying to find ways to ask His Majesty to pardon you."

Li Yi told Li Mingzhu all the developments from yesterday to today.

The entire Kyoto, from the government to the people, saw the power of women for the first time.

It turns out that they are not as weak and weak as they appear on the surface, and they also have the ability to stir up troubles.

Li Yi didn't expect that this matter would develop in such a dramatic way. In fact, Goulan just told the people the facts truthfully, without any embellishment or artistic processing. The biggest effect was just the shortest. It’s just a matter of time to let the people know the truth.

Splashing feces on the door and spraying paint on the wall. I don’t know who came up with this method. They don’t even need to be taught!

Women have always been a vulnerable group, bound by women's ethics. Let alone marriage, many people do not even have freedom. Of course, the existence of some fierce women is not ruled out, but in general, it is a fact that women are weak.

And this is also a tradition that has been going on for thousands of years. It is determined by productivity. If a man is noble, a woman must be lowered. Being married to a husband and raising children is a lifetime. I am afraid that even most women think so.

This concept has not been completely reversed in later generations when men and women are equal.

However, when there is oppression, there is resistance, especially if one has been oppressed for a long time. When resistance comes, it will be particularly violent.

Finally, someone was willing to stand up and speak out for women. All the women were thinking that Her Highness the Princess could really do something for their women. When Han Daru interfered with this, everyone was angry, and hundreds of thousands of years of suppression burst out. , something called feminist consciousness began to awaken.

When things have developed here, it is no longer just an issue of early marriage.

Li Mingzhu put down the wine jar and wiped her mouth angrily: "Having such a stubborn old man in the court is harmful rather than helpful."

"At this moment, the court has probably exploded. Not only ordinary women, but also women from the families of powerful officials are complaining deeply. They have gone to the Empress to ask for advice. Several concubines, She even brought the matter to the Queen Mother. Even the Queen Mother, who was devoted to cultivating Buddhism and had stopped asking about court affairs, issued a special edict to ask Your Majesty..." Li Yi looked at her and said, "If this matter continues, I'm afraid it will be impossible. end."

This is what Li Yi heard on the way here. The attack on a minister in the court and the eldest princess were involved. This is already a big deal. In addition to the chaos in the Han family yesterday, it is strange that there is peace in the court today. .

"Are you really not responsible for what happened to the Han family?" Her Royal Highness the Princess said as she glanced at him.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment and became so angry: "Am I like that kind of person?"

"It's okay, I didn't blame you..." Her Royal Highness the Princess patted his shoulder and said, "It's all Han's fault. Thank you..."

…

…

Li Yi's guess was correct, there was indeed no peace in the court today.

It wasn't just Emperor Jing who had a headache. When things got to this point, all the officials also felt like their heads were as big as a bucket.

In just one day, the entire Kyoto was in chaos. Rumors spread and public complaints continued. How His Majesty punished the eldest princess was no longer the point. The point was that if things continued like this, something big would happen!

An old man held the wat board and said righteously: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is lawless. In the court, in front of all the civil and military officials and Your Majesty, she openly commits murder and assassinates the ministers. This act is so bad. Severe punishment is not enough to appease the people!”

All the officials shook their heads, and they are still holding on to this matter. Is this old man still unclear about the situation?

Han Daru has been scolded as a sieve among the people. The problem now is not how to punish the princess, but how to calm the people's resentment. Han Daru's words yesterday completely pushed the court to the opposition of the people.

The purpose of women's existence is to give birth? A woman’s life doesn’t matter? Otherwise, why did the court insist on early marriage and early childbirth even though it knew that women who married early were more likely to die in childbirth? Did the court really not regard women as human beings?

No one can take the blame for this, not them, not even His Majesty. It’s just Kyoto now. When the news spreads to other states and counties in a while, the impact will be greater. Then, there will really be chaos!

Didn't you see that even the censors calmed down and never mentioned the eldest princess again? At this delicate moment, if this old man still can't distinguish the current situation, Master Han will be a lesson to him!

Ma Zhongcheng stood in the crowd, bowed his head and said nothing. Not only him, but all the censors in the Censorate were ordered by him to never mention the princess again in the court today.

He knew the situation in the capital better than anyone else. After this incident, Han Daru's reputation was ruined. The princess's status in the hearts of the people of Kyoto, especially women, had already reached a new high. Anyone who kept holding on to this matter would be nailed to the pillar of shame by the people of Kyoto like Han Daru. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being hated by the people again.

When the court officials were all unusually quiet, a figure came out.

"Your Majesty, the only way now is to appease the people first and then discuss other things." Qin Xiang raised his head and spoke slowly.

"Qin Xiang's words make sense!"

"I second the motion!"

The old man who had just spoken had long been forgotten. After Qin Xiang took the lead, the court officials stood up one after another, avoiding the matter of the princess and bringing the topic back to the focus they should pay attention to.

Emperor Jing took a deep breath, "My dear ministers, do you have any suggestions on this matter?"

"I think the princess's advice yesterday is very reasonable." Prime Minister Qin said, "Although increasing the population is important, we cannot ignore the lives of women. What's more, Her Royal Highness has given a method to achieve both... The people in Kyoto are already dissatisfied, and the implementation of this system is urgent."

Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Shen are the heads of all officials. Prime Minister Shen is low-key and rarely speaks out unless it is a major event. Most officials follow Prime Minister Qin's lead. Following the prime minister, they will never make a big political mistake, right?

When Prime Minister Qin said this, countless people agreed.

Seeing that everyone seemed to tacitly avoid the princess, it was indeed inappropriate to bring it up again at this time. Emperor Jing, who originally wanted to easily expose this matter, had to suppress this idea...
