Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 692
Blue bricks and black tiles, red pillars and red gates are the main colors of the Tang Palace.

Walking on the corridor leading to the Lizheng Hall, Ding Yi was absent-minded all the time, following the little eunuch in front with floating steps.

He was thinking about a problem, a problem of cognitive level, social cognition, personal autonomy.

Just as he and Empress Changsun said, a person's growth cannot be separated from the influence of the whole society. However, at this moment in Datang, this kind of statement and understanding is not accepted by people.

human rights!Whether there are human rights in Datang, this is a question worth thinking about!

Feudal society has its disadvantages.Even so, despite being separated from tribal society for thousands of years, slavery still exists.

Although Confucians and rulers expressed distaste for this, they still condoned the system.

In Datang society, women are men's accessories. This is not a slander to women's rights, but this is the case in this centralized and imperially supreme Datang.

For example, officials broke the law, ransacked their families and exterminated their families, and female family members acted as officials, and there were even departments such as the Jiaofang Division who trained dancers and singers for the imperial court and the royal family.

How can such a society demand extravagant human rights?
If Ding Yi wanted to change this point, it would be wishful thinking!The rules of the world will never change because of a certain person, even if this person is the supreme ruler!
Even Li Er didn't dare to change the rules of the world lightly, he could only influence it slowly and let it change by itself.

Ding Yi figured it out, he couldn't change this point, he could only plant the seeds and let it germinate, take root, and grow slowly.

Today in Ganlu Palace, although he had a heated argument with Empress Changsun, this kind of talk was limited to Ganlu Palace, and he will never say such things again in the future!

Feeling as if he had stopped, Ding Yi recovered and looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar face, excitedly said: "Yo! Isn't this Eunuch Chen! What's the matter?"

Chen Hong's face was stiff and he looked a little embarrassed.It turned out that this guy didn't hear what he said just now.To tidy up his emotions, he didn't dare to throw face at this one.

"Grandpa, Your Majesty is busy. Please wait!"

This is just his white lie, because the emperor is not busy at all right now, but he wants to keep Ding Yi cold in this way, just to repay the depression of being released from pigeons before!
Ding Yi followed the door of the Lizheng Palace and looked inside. He didn't see anything, but he also guessed something, knowing that today's visit must not be easy.He smiled, put his arms around Chen Hong's shoulders, and said, "Eunuch Chen, you are a busy person. I always say that I want to entertain you, but I can't find a chance. When will you retire?"

Chen Hong felt extremely uncomfortable when the other party hugged his shoulders. He was an eunuch, and to put it bluntly, he was a servant of the palace.But his position, those masters in the palace, are more or less polite to him.As for the other eunuchs and maids in the palace, whoever saw him had to make sacrifices like their ancestors.Besides, those ministers, no matter how familiar they are, they wouldn't hook up with him like this!
Moreover, he was really afraid of the person next to him.

"Grandpa... I've made you worry! It's just that retirement... what do you mean?"

Ding Yi woke up and said, "Oh! Retirement means reaching the age, stepping down from the seat and entering the old age's leisure. When will Eunuch Chen retire?"

Chen Hong trembled all over, looked at Ding Yi in shock, hurriedly interrupted his nonsense, and said nervously: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, this old slave has served His Majesty for half his life. Although he is old now, as long as this old slave If you can move, you have to stay by His Majesty's side. Although this old slave has no skills, it can also make His Majesty less troubled!"

Ding Yi gave him a funny look, sighed in his heart, but said: "Eunuch Chen, don't you ever think about living for yourself?"

"Ouch!" Chen Hong screamed, shook off Ding Yi's arm, bent down, and begged: "Grandpa, please don't make fun of this old slave, this old slave has lived for His Majesty all his life." , how can you think about those illusory and absurd things! Please spare this old slave!"

Ding Yi was shocked by his actions, and even more shocked when he heard his words.He didn't think about this before, and he didn't pay attention to it, so when he heard these words, he was shocked while feeling the shock of the imperial power on people's hearts!

This is not brainwashing, but all-round crushing from the psychological, physical, spiritual, and physical to make people obey!
"Okay, okay, why are you so nervous! I like to joke the most, and you don't know it!" Ding Yi wanted to help him up, but he stretched his hand halfway, thinking of his words, he stopped his movements and changed his mind. Do pat him on the shoulder.

Only then did Chen Hong straighten up a little, stretched out his right hand and wiped his forehead twice, wiping away the cold sweat that didn't exist.

"Eunuch Chen, you have stayed in the palace for most of your life, have you ever thought about your family?" Ding Yi knew Chen Hong's background, even though he was an eunuch, there were still people in his family.Although his parents are no longer there, his younger brother is also doing business in Chang'an, and has adopted a son for Chen Hong to take care of him.Chen Hong was also good to his brother. Although he seldom did anything publicly, his brother's business was successful because of Chen Hong's face. It was precisely because of this that his brother always treated this brother Remain respectful.

Chen Hong glanced at Ding Yi's face, saw that his expression was serious, and he was faintly heavy, he sighed and said: "The old servant's home is safe and sound, and he has been with His Majesty all these years. Although he seldom takes care of the family, but The family is also counted by my side. Grandpa, I don’t know..."

Ding Yi's life experience was a mystery in Datang, except for Li Er, no one else knew about it.Therefore, Chen Hong guessed that the young father-in-law must be homesick.

"Hey! You are much better than me! Although my family and I are near Chang'an, we are separated by a long distance and cannot see each other! This life... Hey! Why am I telling you this!" Ding Yi fell into deep thought, it was ridiculous , in the same place, but thousands of years later, it is impossible to see them!What's more... His meow's timeline has been skewed!
"The father-in-law is young and promising, and now he is deeply favored by His Majesty. I am very happy to want to come to Lingzuntang! I heard from Your Majesty that this year you and Princess Changle will be married. Lingzuntang..." Chen Hong wanted to ask Lingzuntang if he would Will participate, but just thinking of what the other party said before, shut up in embarrassment.

Ding Yi glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Although I have parents, I am no different from an orphan now. You don't have to do this, I won't mind!"

The two chatted very happily, and they had never had such a deep heart-to-heart conversation like this time in the four or five years of their acquaintance.Chen Hong wanted to ask something else, a young eunuch came out of the main hall, and said respectfully: "My lord, Mr. Chen, Your Majesty let Mr. Shi Ping in!"
