Everyone is attacking me

Chapter 160 Changes

It has been eight years since Emperor Yuan and Qing acquired the art of listening to the heart, and Princess Changle has grown from an ignorant little girl to the Great Wei Princess who is now praised by the whole country and even the whole Asia.

In eight years, she has learned a lot from her own system and the queens, and she knows far more than the students who graduated from Zishantang.

She chose the five items of clothing, food, painting, music, and medicine from her own system. Among them, clothing, food, and medicine are just finished products for her to exchange, and painting and music are what she chooses to learn. All the modern surviving painting methods, as well as musical scores and various singing songs, etc., are waiting for her to use points to unlock and learn.

Even relevant painting tools and musical instruments were exchanged. After eight years of study, Changle has achieved high attainments in these two items, especially her favorite painting. She has tried to learn almost all kinds of painting methods.

In recent years, she has also gradually spread new painting methods that have never appeared in Dawei. Except for some that require specific painting tools and cannot be produced at present, other new painting methods have blossomed everywhere in Dawei, and have gradually formed various paintings. What kind of school.

There have also been great changes in music. Musical instruments, such as guitars, violins, and even pianos, have all been made. Although they are not as good as modern workmanship, they are qualified as musical instruments, adding to the lives of ordinary people. Some new musical sounds.

Moreover, Changle cooperated with Xia Chan and exchanged a lot of music scores for the disciples of Liyuan to use. The soundtrack of the stage play is also wonderful and fascinating.

Other aspects related to music were also gradually unlocked by Changle exchange, such as various singing styles and various operas, which surprised Xia Chan. The two cooperated to teach the disciples of Liyuan. All kinds of dramas were gradually born in the following hundreds of years.

Except for the queen mother who had heard opera from the Republic of China, almost none of the queens and others have listened to a complete opera. At most, they only know some familiar fragments, but they are limited to knowing the lyrics. I heard it as an entertainment, but she was too busy helping the cook, so she had no time to learn opera, not to mention that in that era, opera would not be spread casually.

So these operas unlocked by Changle are very important.

However, it is probably due to the fact that stage plays were born first, as well as the singing and language of operas. The common people still like stage plays the most, and they regard opera as a kind of gorgeous performance, including the later bel canto opera.

After all, many people are illiterate. To them, the so-called elegant and so-called ostentatious things are nothing more than a sigh. If they want to make them like it, it should be as simple and understandable as possible. These require a certain level of appreciation Things, at least have to wait until everyone can read and write.

On the contrary, sketch cross talk is very popular among the people, and those easy-to-understand songs will be spread by word of mouth almost the next day after the Liyuan singer finishes singing, spread throughout Chang'an, and soon spread to the whole country, even entertainment newspapers are not needed spread.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that today’s Times is no longer the original Times, the original Great Wei Times has long since ceased to exist, and the original sections were separated. Newspapers, gossip entertainment, entertainment tabloids, etc., all kinds of development are in full swing, and the reporters are gradually divided into types, and each is responsible for interviewing in the field that each person is good at.

The common people can also buy the newspapers they like according to their interests. Among the common people, the most popular ones are not commercial newspapers or entertainment tabloids, but pictorial newspapers, or cartoon newspapers. After all, for them, full-length newspapers Newspapers are like heavenly books, far inferior to these pictorials, especially those with no text and all pictures, they like it the most.

As a result, picture booklets have also been produced, and the fewer characters, the better the sales.

The Yuan and Qing emperors agreed to promote Xiaorenshu, hoping to subtly improve the literacy rate of the people. Even if it’s just some onomatopoeia, it’s better than those who don’t know big characters. College lays the groundwork.

With the reform of newspapers, the newspaper delivery industry has also developed. In the early morning and evening, you will see newsboys riding bicycles with large bags passing by. These newsboys are all orphans of the Salesian Bureau.

Although the orphans of the Salesian Bureau are supported by the royal family for free, especially the orphans in Chang'an City, who have one more benefit than ordinary people and can enter Chang'an College for free, but this does not mean that Emperor Yuan and Qing are willing to support them for nothing. I hope that these children will be lucky and lazy. The children of ordinary families have to help the family from the moment they walk on the ground, especially in rural areas, where all kinds of farm work are constantly going on, so that these orphans will not enjoy themselves comfortably.

In this way, he deviated from his original intention of founding the Salesian Bureau.

Therefore, the Yuan and Qing emperors specially ordered the children in the Salesian Bureau to be divided according to age, and they had to complete the assigned work, and the income from the work would become their pocket money, which could be used to buy what they needed, or they could not work. , but the Salesian Bureau will not give them extra money apart from being responsible for their daily life.

In a word, I want to make money by myself.

Of course, orphans who suffer from diseases that cannot take care of themselves or are born with disabilities will be treated according to their circumstances.

Having said that, with the development of stage plays and singing, the first opera house funded by Princess Changle was built, and the performances of Liyuan disciples finally separated from the park, and there was a place for formal performances.

The first opera house in Chang'an City was built next to Nanshi. In order to promote the prosperity of the south of the city, the Yuan and Qing emperors also spent a lot of effort. The first park, the first club, the first hotel... Almost all of them were placed in the south of the city. , finally made the originally deserted south of the city lively. The people who came to Chang'an a few years ago no longer crowded the squares near the imperial palace, and chose to stay in the south of the city.

On the first day of the opera house's opening, Emperor Yuan and Qing went out of the palace with the queen to attend the opening premiere in order to show their support for Changle.

All kinds of new performances have attracted the novelty of the people. Nowadays, going to the opera house to listen to songs or watch a play after dinner has become a major daily pastime for the people, and it is also a must-see attraction for foreigners who come to Chang'an for tourism.

Up to now, Weiyang Opera House has opened branches in more than half of the provinces in the country. Although most of the shares belong to the Yuan and Qing emperors, Princess Changle still holds a lot of shares.

With the addition of Fuchun, the former Fuchun has developed into a well-known brand in Asia. Almost every Fanbangyi who comes to Chang’an City will buy a set, either for their own use or as a gift. The annual sales volume of this consumable amazing.

Under the name of Changle, there are also various industries rewarded to him by Emperor Yuan and Qing. Eight years later, she seems to be the richest woman in the whole Wei Dynasty, even the queen and queen mother are not as good as her.

Three years ago, Changle followed Xia Chan on a friendly visit to surrounding countries on behalf of Wei. The beautiful and elegant Princess Wei immediately won the unanimous favor of the people of all countries, and Princess Changle's reputation spread far and wide.

Emperor Yuan and Qing were happy to see the success of this. In recent years, he has seen the remarkable effect of cultural invasion, so he does not exclude Changle from making an appearance for a visit. Being a princess is different.

However, he never expected that after going to Changle, he would not want to get married.

Chang Le and Cui Zhao were engaged three years ago, and they agreed to get married when she came back from the visit, but Chang Le didn’t know what she had said to Cui Zhao when she came back, and they both came to tell him that they planned to postpone the wedding to five years back.

Emperor Yuan Qing was very unhappy.

When he knew that Cui Zhao had abducted Changle, he spent a lot of effort to convince himself that in his opinion, his royal sister was so noble and outstanding, how could a poor boy with a low status be worthy of her, although Cui Zhao Zhao has proven himself over the years, researched various inventions, published various discourses, and even became the leader of a new school of thought, gaining fame, but in his opinion, it is far from enough.

However, when he managed to convince himself to accept, admit, and agree to their engagement, the two of them turned around and told him they couldn't get it together?

Emperor Yuan and Qing have the urge to throw the table, is this to tease him?

Of course, the most important thing is that according to Dawei's age, Changle is already twenty.

The laws of the Wei Dynasty clearly stipulate that unmarried women over the age of [-] will be forced to marry by the government. This is not set by the Yuan and Qing emperors, but a rule that has existed since the previous dynasty. After all, their era is not the modern era that the traversers live in. There is no population of hundreds of millions, and the people must be encouraged to have more children, but if the population is to be increased, women must be allowed to marry and have children.

This is also the reason why Wei did not reject women's remarriage, and even supported it from the government to the people.

The Yuan and Qing emperors knew what the empresses said about the rights of women in modern times, but that was the modern age, not the present. For the current Great Wei, what is needed is a large population, and women are needed to marry and have children. Otherwise, even if he conquers a huge territory in the future, there will not be enough. What's the point of having so many common people in Wei Dynasty.

So in recent years, he has strongly supported Liang Ping'an's promotion of obstetrics and childbirth, encouraged and rewarded births, and unabashedly encouraged men in the frontier to intermarry with women from neighboring countries. It is the people of Wei.

Even the detailed regulations on the concubine law were re-established. Anyone who is not qualified to take a concubine is not allowed to take a concubine. It's not that easy anymore.

He also specially asked Xia Chan to arrange for Liyuan a stage play of wives and concubines fighting in the house, which will be performed in various provincial capitals and even distributed to villages and towns, just to let people see what kind of tragedy will happen if there are too many wives and concubines. Many people.

Coupled with the law, the rate of civil concubinage has plummeted in the past two years.

Although the original intention of the Yuan and Qing emperors was to reduce the ratio of men to women and try to ensure that all men can marry wives, thereby increasing the fertility rate, it has to be said that it did indirectly promote monogamy.

Emperor Yuan and Qing could allow the queens to open up a way out for women and improve their status, but they would never allow his plan to be broken.

He thinks he is enlightened enough, but there is absolutely no possibility of negotiation on this matter.

So what Changle did undoubtedly challenged the law and challenged him.

He has the ability to listen to the heart, and understands why Changle did this. She has indeed learned a lot of knowledge from the empresses, and at the same time, she has been influenced by their thoughts, and she has gradually tended to modern women's thinking. Emperor Yuan and Qing originally thought it was this. It's a good thing, after all, he also appreciates women like the queen and Liang Cairen who have left long ago. Even Xia Chan now makes him look differently, but now it seems that it is not all good things.

Changle is a princess of a country, and also the only orthodox eldest princess of the Great Wei Dynasty. Especially her current reputation and fame have attracted many women in the world to follow suit. Her postponement of marriage will naturally affect other people, and it may not be seen in a short time. Nothing will happen, but it will definitely have an impact in the long run.

So he has a headache.

It is also contradictory.

Changle is the younger sister he watched growing up, almost equivalent to half a daughter, in the past he would give her whatever she wanted, and Changle was very sensible since childhood, even if there was a system, he would immediately expose it and exchange it for his safety The good things he bought were immediately brought to him for use, and the portraits painted for him alone filled the whole room.

He loves Chang Le, and wants to agree to her request.

In fact, it is only a five-year delay. Besides, Changle is a princess with a different status. Even if outsiders want to follow suit, it depends on whether their parents and the law agree.

However, he knew in his heart that Changle's proposal to postpone the marriage was not just a postponement, she must have more things to do next.

In fact, what really made Emperor Yuanqing angry was that after Changle was grounded by him, he even ran away under the pretense of visiting Korea. After further investigation, Cui Zhao was also missing, apparently he left with her.

This makes him not angry, and even the Queen Song Jie and Liang Pingan, who were secretly helping, were severely reprimanded by him. If Changle's reputation could not be taken into account and the truth could not be spread, he would have punished the three of them by grounding. Still thinking about Changle, I can only acquiesce that she is indeed visiting instead of escaping.

So Emperor Yuan Qing was very annoyed these days, he was in a hurry with anyone who mentioned Changle to him, and the emperor's uncle was no exception.

Su Wang was helpless: "The queen mother entrusted me to persuade you..."

If it wasn't for the empress dowager entrusting him with the responsibility, he would not want to interfere with Changle's affairs, but the empress dowager had favored him back then, and she has always cared for him all these years. Face off.

Not to mention the queen mother is fine, but when it comes to the fact that the queen mother is even more angry and Changle can escape from the palace smoothly, the biggest "hero" is not the queen mother, otherwise how can the queen alone be able to command the guards.

"No one to persuade me, you help me bring a message to my mother, let her tell Changle, I only give her half a year, within half a year must come back to get married, otherwise I will re-designate marriage for her!"

King Su was amused. It was the first time he had seen this pair of brothers and sisters lose their temper. He stroked Emperor Fuyuan Qing's cheek and coaxed him: "Okay, I will tell the queen mother, don't be angry, Changle will always understand your difficulties."

Emperor Yuan Qing sighed: "It would be great if she understood."

He now understands the cleverness of the queen. She never revealed the so-called equality between men and women in front of him. It can be said that she never mentioned it. Everything she did was to seek a way out for those women whose life was difficult, even she herself She never takes power, and she doesn't overdo it in the slightest.

But she taught a Changle who inherited her will. She predicted that he would not do anything to Changle. She didn't need to train the maids to guide the female officials, and she didn't even need to keep any books, only one Changle was enough.

Even if she finished her mission and left, Changle would be enough.

Previously, Xia Chan stood in front of her, but taught him to ignore her.

"It's really..." Emperor Yuanqing laughed, and had to admit that he was indeed the loser in this matter, even if he had the ability to listen to the heart, after all, listening to the heart can only hear the thoughts at the time, if someone has something to say The big secret that was hidden from him, then he would not even think about it when facing him, just like Liu He back then.

This is also his bad point as the emperor. If he were replaced by another identity, maybe others would not be so cautious when facing him.

He told the emperor's uncle, but saw that he was not surprised, and even had a smile in his eyes: "Your Majesty finally found out."

Emperor Yuanqing was stunned: "You know?"

King Su nodded: "It can be seen." Seeing Emperor Yuanqing's expression of why he didn't remind him earlier, he explained with a smile, "Actually, I'm just guessing, but I don't think it's a bad thing."

The so-called fan of the authorities, he naturally does not have deep feelings for Changle, although he has not had much contact with him, but he can see the changes in Changle, and he can always see some of them after a long time, especially this time Changle's resistance gave him a guess .

He opened his hand, patted the seat beside him, motioned Emperor Yuan Qing to come over, and said unhurriedly: "Chang Le has actually been growing up all along, but she naturally doesn't show it in front of you on weekdays."

What he said was cryptic, but Emperor Yuan Qing immediately understood and felt a little depressed.

Yes, he is the emperor. When he was a child, Changle could treat him 100% as an elder brother because of his ignorance, but as he grows older and understands more and more, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to face him like before. Thinking carefully about Changle The voice of his heart when getting along with him was indeed not as pure as before, but he subconsciously ignored it.

It's not that Changle doesn't have any feelings for him, but that she understands that the king comes first and then brother.

"She has grown up, it's just that you are not used to it." Su Wang said, his eyes were a little unbearable, but he quickly suppressed it. He knew that Changle was the closest family member to Yuan Yuan, but everyone It will change, although he has no opinion on Chang Le, and even thinks she is doing a good job, but he doesn't want Chang Le to have the ability to influence Yuan Yuan.

If Yuan Yuan is not the emperor, then he will not say much, but he is a king, his every move affects the people of the world, every move and every order of him will cause huge ripples, so he does not hope that one day, Changle will Use this grace to seek something.

Even if Yuan Yuan has the ability to listen to his mind, but emotions sometimes blind everything, and he doesn't want Yuan Yuan to be sad because of that.

Although the reality was a little cruel, he had to say it.

Leaving aside his relationship with Yuan Yuan, he is first and foremost the prince of Wei, and he has to think about the future of Wei, and the future of Wei naturally depends on the emperor.

Emotionally he can pamper Yuan Yuan, but as a prince, as an emperor's uncle, even if he is not relative, he has the obligation to urge Yuan Yuan to be a wise king.

He didn't say these words clearly, but he told Emperor Yuan Qing clearly through his heart.

Emperor Yuanqing was silent, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that what the emperor said was true.

As he reigned longer and longer, Wei became more and more powerful, from Changle to mother queen to King An's attitude towards him has more or less changed.

King An hadn't made trouble in front of him for a long time, and of course he had grown up. The queen mother completely let go of the power, and never forgot to restrain the mother's family, needless to say Changle.

Not only them, the ministers also became more cautious and respectful towards him. They called Mingjun Shengjun and looked at him as if they were looking at the statues enshrined in the temple. It is taboo to admit that these exploits come from these overseas walkers, but the change does exist.

Even the Tai Tuo became more courteous and humble when facing him, and acted more low-key.

Including these traversers, no one would joke around in front of him like he did at the beginning.

Lonely.

These four words suddenly appeared in his mind.

I didn't think before that he had a grand tutor, a mother, a queen, and a royal sister and younger brother, but now he finally realized something.

But luckily——

He squeezed the uncle's hand and stared at him: "No matter what others do, the uncle will not change, but?"

There was a feeling of grasping at the last straw in my heart.

King Su sighed, and shook his hand back: "Naturally, no matter what happens at any time, my heart towards His Majesty will never change." , Your Majesty’s harem is three thousand, how dare I, an unknown person, ask for more.”

The tone of pretentious resentment made Emperor Yuanqing smile immediately: "It's okay, I don't mind if the emperor asks for more."

"In that case..." King Su let out a low laugh, picked him up neatly, and said with a serious expression, "When Liu Yuan comes back this time, he will have to return the name of Jixing this time, and he can no longer use it. I can't enter the palace every day to serve His Majesty, Your Majesty can compensate me..."

Emperor Yuan Qing gave him a cross look, who exactly compensated whom.

King Su smiled lightly, and didn't carry him to the couch, he put him on the round table and perched on him, wrapped his arms around the back of his head and kissed his lips, domineering and unquestionable.

Emperor Yuanqing took the initiative to hook his neck, and kissed him back without any hesitation.

With these years of getting along, the emperor's uncle showed his true nature more and more in front of him, and no longer cared about him because of his status as emperor, especially when it came to bed matters, he became more domineering and full of desire to control. By the time he realized it, he had gotten used to it With such a rhythm, he can only sigh and follow him.

Anyway, the uncle of the emperor is respectful to him, and where outsiders can't see it, let's give the uncle some face.

This can also be regarded as the love experience he has explored by himself in the past few years.

Because of the matter of Changle, when Emperor Yuanqing saw the queen again, he couldn't help but take a deep look at her, and cut straight to the point: "Can the queen tell me when it started?"

The queen was slightly stunned, looking at his expression, she quickly understood what he was asking, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is here to inquire about crimes?"

[It was discovered. 】

"If I want to ask for guilt, I won't ask you."

Emperor Yuan Qing thought that he was not so narrow-minded, so he wouldn't convict the queen because of this matter.

But he was still a little upset, upset at being teased.

The queen smiled: "So Your Majesty wants me to persuade Chang Le?" She shook her head, "Chang Le has grown up and has his own ideas, so I'm afraid he won't listen to me."

[If you can’t be persuaded, you can’t be persuaded. 】

Emperor Yuanqing frowned, but did not speak.

The queen was not in a hurry, so she just poured tea for him and herself, took a sip and said, "I know what your majesty is worried about, but has your majesty ever thought about it, according to the current speed of development of Wei, after another thirty, or another A little longer, in 50 years, more and more people will be literate and sensible.”

After a pause, he smiled and complimented: "With His Majesty's physical condition, there is no problem in living another 50 years."

Then bring the topic back: "I believe that as long as His Majesty is in power, Wei will get better and better, although I won't be able to see it at that time."

That's why she decided to leave something behind.

"If your Majesty is the kind of emperor who firmly believes that the people don't need to read and implements a policy of ignoring the people, I will not teach Changle. Your Majesty is willing to make the people enlightened, so why not let the people include women."

"Your Majesty believes in me. I don't have any ambitions, and I won't disregard the existing order. I believe that after so many years, Your Majesty has understood me. Furthermore, even if Your Majesty doesn't believe me, at least you should believe in Changle. I can assure you , she will never do anything against His Majesty."

She really doesn't want to subvert the grand ideal of overthrowing the patriarchal society, and she can't do it either. She just hopes to keep the flame of improving women's status alive, instead of being quickly dismissed after she and Xia Chan leave. put out.

Looking at the various dynasties in the world she lives in, it is clear that the era is advancing, but the status of women is gradually receding, so she does not want the enlightened and prosperous age they have finally developed to degenerate after she leaves and the Yuan and Qing emperors also pass away. To the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although she doesn't know if it will be useful, maybe after Changle passes away, there will still be no major changes in another 200 years, or maybe even if it changes, one day the Great Wei will die, and there will be a dynasty similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but always Better than doing nothing.

Emperor Yuan Qing frowned even tighter, not because of what the queen said, but because of the queen's expression.

The queen smiled when she saw this, and put down the teacup: "Your Majesty is just right, even if you don't come, I plan to look for you, there is something I need to tell you."

She looked at Emperor Yuan Qing with a smile on her face: "I'm leaving."
