Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The emperor inspected everyone's wine, and it was already half an hour after returning to the apse. Most of the students were carried out by people, and Man Bao and the others could hear some people's shouts in the apse.

The emperor came in without changing his face and said, "There were two or three students who were drinking too much, so I sent them back."

The queen looked at him angrily, thinking that the emperor was too rambunctious.

The emperor looked at Zhou Man, changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here?"

Man Bao was worried that Bai Cheng would lose his manners while drinking, and replied, "I'll come to see Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu, but it's not too early, so I will retire first."

The emperor was about to change the subject, of course he couldn't let her go, so he didn't take her salute, he sat down next to the queen and asked, "Is there a difference between Ming Da's and Chang Yu's pulse?"

Man Bao could only stand up straight and answer, "Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu have the same pulse."

By the way, she had to go to the Tai Hospital to record her pulse and almost forgot about it.

The emperor nodded, but still didn't let her go, but remembered one thing, "Is Bai Cheng your junior brother?"

Man Bao immediately did not intend to leave, nodded, then looked up at the emperor, "Yes, he is my third junior brother."

The emperor asked: "He said that husband and wife are one, the ruler and the minister have respect and inferiority, but the husband and wife are not. What do you think?"

Man Bao said without thinking: "I think he is right."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the etiquette in the world determined by honor or inferiority? Husbands are superior to wives, not only in etiquette, but also written in the "Women's Commandments"?"

"Your Majesty, the Women's Commandments were written by Ban Zhao for the harem of the Han Dynasty, in order to teach them to have no position but to be righteous, so as to make the political situation stable," Man Bao said: "All women in the world envy the pursuit of Ban Zhao's talent and character. Ban Zhao himself also mentioned it early in the "Advice for Women", 'But teaching men and not teaching women, it is not to cover each other's numbers! "Li", a book that was taught at the age of eight, and learned at fifteen. Don't take it for granted!'"

She paused for a while and continued, "Don't the royal family always invite famous teachers to teach the princesses? Obviously, they don't want the princesses to just follow the words of their husbands after they get married. Both men and women should have their own opinions and dignity. Then there is no so-called honor and inferiority between husband and wife."

The emperor opened his mouth, turned his head and said to the queen after a while, "Why do I think I saw a female Wei Zhi?"

Man Bao:  …

Mingda and Changyu:  …

The emperor asked, "Have you also read the Female Commandments?"

"Of course I have read it, and I have copied it," Man Bao said as a matter of course: "My husband taught me."

The emperor asked, "You're not from that time. How do you know that Ban Zhao's "The Commandments for Women" was for the Han Dynasty's harem? Didn't it say that it was used for teaching her daughter?"

"She doesn't have a daughter," Man Bao said, "this is what my husband said."

She said, "Sir said that the Han family had the exclusive power of relatives, and it was at the time..."

"Okay, okay," the emperor didn't need Zhou Manlai to take a history class. He now knew the downside of asking a gentleman like Mr. Zhuang to teach students. Women's Commandments" is just, it is something to teach women De Jong language skills, how to say and talk about the political affairs?

He said: "I understand what you mean, but the respect of husband and wife is an eternal truth, just like the respect of rulers and subjects..."

Man Bao slandered in his heart, isn't this kind of honor and inferiority determined by people?

According to the later research records of the Encyclopedia, further forward, human society is still the matriarchal clan. At that time, women dominated, but what did they say?

However, she only dared to think about this kind of treason in her heart. After all, if she said this, she would have a very treacherous idea of ​​overthrowing the monarch and ministers.

But she didn't speak, and the emperor was not stupid. Seeing her bowing her head and nodding her toes, she knew she didn't agree, so she asked: "You don't agree, then I ask you, you don't respect etiquette, but you think about the world. The end of the collapse?"

Man Bao sighed and said, "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were sages who sighed that people's hearts are not ancient, and the order of the world has collapsed. Your Majesty, the world has long since collapsed. The current rules are not all the rules set by the ancestors. Some people add rules that go along with their own interests into the etiquette, and some people do not have enough influence, so they distort the words of the ancestors and use the words of the ancestors to explain the rules that suit their own interests.”

"Not only now, future generations will do the same in the future, and the rules they will follow by then will definitely not be the rules we have to follow now."

Chang Yu's face was ignorant, indicating that she understood every word she said, but she didn't understand it when combined into one sentence.

When Ming Da thought about it, the emperor and the queen looked at Zhou Man in shock. They didn't expect her to have such a rebellious idea.

But the main thing is that they thought about it carefully and found that what she said was actually right.

The emperor and the queen didn't speak for a long time, but Mingda couldn't help but ask her, "What should I do? Leave a message and don't allow them to change the rules?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "Why don't you change it?"

"The current rules are suitable for us, but they may not be suitable for them at that time. If His Majesty summons his ministers, will he also ask them to wait three times and nine knocks all the way to kneel from the gate of the palace to the main hall?" Man Bao said: "Then the daily light is passed on. How many times have you gone to the time of the audience? The times are different, and the rules will naturally be different."

Mingda: "Then..."

Man Bao seemed to know what she was going to say, and said, "Bai Shan said that people in the present are in charge of things in the present, and people in the future are in charge of things in the future. They will also drag their descendants to bury them together."

emperor:……

The Empress coughed lightly, and Man Bao reacted, and immediately bowed his head and saluted, "I have nothing to do with you, Your Majesty forgive me."

The emperor waved his hand wordlessly, and at this moment he forgot what he wanted to ask.

But the queen didn't forget Bai Cheng mentioned by the emperor. Knowing that he mentioned it at this time, she might be more satisfied with him. She felt complicated for a while, and she felt that the emperor could take Bai Cheng even more without her reminder. His ability; he also felt that Bai Cheng matched Mingda, and he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she turned her head to look at her well-behaved daughter, and asked Man Baodao, "What kind of people are in your junior brother's family?"

The emperor then remembered, yes, he wanted to ask about Bai Cheng's situation.

Man Bao then said in detail, "We have a grandmother, his parents, an elder brother, and a sister-in-law. Master Bai is very famous in our village."

The only landowner, can he not be famous?

Man Bao copied all the nice things that the villagers said when they flattered Master Bai, "Master Bai is famous for being a good person. In the past, the road from our village to the county town was difficult. The master paid for it to be repaired."

"Most of the roads and bridges in our eight townships were built by him at his expense," he said.

"His family never owes wages. As long as he hires someone, he can get what he earns according to his labor," Man Bao said. "Mrs. Bai is also easy to get along with. She is gentle and gentle, and often brings us snacks."
