[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child
Chapter 112
Lin Liu was stunned: "The concubine of the former emperor?"
The former emperor...
If this woman hadn't appeared, she would have almost forgotten that there were women from the former emperor and the overlord in the harem.
Lin Liu wanted to release the women in the palace from the very beginning, but the environment was not good at that time. She asked Lin Ruhai and others what would happen to these concubines after they were released, and then one of them would probably "suicide and die for love". The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha passed away, and only a few lucky ones can return home to spend their lives peacefully.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was fine, the number of people in the harem was not too many, only about thirty people; Almost two hundred.
About [-] of them are old and decrepit, and the rest are only in their twenties and thirties.
If all these women are released from the palace, at least one hundred and thirty "sacrifices" will be made at that time, and dozens of them will become monks at that time, and only a few will have a good death.
For Lin Liu, this was a crime.
After she hesitated, she temporarily left this group of people behind.
Afterwards, Lin Liu was busy with all kinds of big and small matters, and Lin Liu's mind was completely occupied by those big and small business affairs, and he couldn't remember the group of invisible women in the harem at all.
So, there was this embarrassing scene in front of me...
Lin Liu coughed and forced a smile on his face: "What are you looking for... Zhen?"
The imperial concubine had tears in her eyes, and she looked at Lin Liu pitifully: "And the manpower is meager, and I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to ask the emperor what he wants to do with us. We, the women of the former emperor and the emperor, were rejected by the emperor. Locked in the palace, although you still have food and clothing, you have no freedom at all, even if you want to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, it is impossible to get permission."
She glanced at Lin Liu thoughtfully, and lowered her head, "I have been locked up in the palace for more than half a year, and I have been in fear all day long. I don't know when... I just want to ask the emperor, what do you think about us people? If you want to deal with us, please tell us clearly, so that our hearts can be at ease."
As she said, the women of the former emperor stayed in the palace for a bad name, and because they were worried that they would bump into the emperor and others when they went out and disturb them, so they were directly placed under house arrest in disguise. There is no chance to appear in front of the emperor at all.
She was able to seize the opportunity to appear this time, because all the women in the harem did not want to stay in the palace as widows, and they were under house arrest in disguise, so everyone contributed money and effort, and finally managed to match up with some palace eunuchs and let them do it. My own ear repays the gods, and when Lin Liu comes to the harem, he finds someone to meet him by chance;
——It's a pity that Lin Liu has been in the harem for more than half a year, but the number of times he has been to the harem is only a handful of times. The other times he only stayed in the imperial garden for a short time before being called away. People can't even wait for the chance to meet .
Secondly, it is because Lin Liu has been on the throne for so long, and their group of people have also seen the temperament of Lin Liu, the female emperor. But the victory lies in his decisive and calm temperament, loving the people like a child, and being forward-looking.
But what they liked the most was Lin Liu's reasoning, and her unabashed sympathy and pity for the situation of women.
That's why she came here to meet Lin Liu at the risk of offending Lin Liu.
Who knew that because she came out so suddenly and moved so fast, people would suspect that she was an assassin?
Who would have thought that the maid beside the empress would be highly skilled in martial arts and more vigilant?
The concubine let her hair cover her face, and then bared her teeth and screamed silently——
If she hadn't been quick-witted and immediately shouted "Long live the emperor" when she realized something was wrong, she might not have been kicked two meters away, but had her head cut off with a knife.
Lin Liu felt a bit guilty after listening to the concubine's words.
She kept these women in the palace because she was worried that they would be killed or have a bad life when they returned home, but now it seems that they are no better than leaving the palace.
Lin Liu opened his mouth, intending to punish the people below for making their own decisions, but after thinking about it, there was no other way.
Even if she is soft-hearted, it is impossible to keep these women in the palace forever.
It's okay now, but what about after she and Ji Song get married?At that time, she will no longer be the only woman in the harem who avoids these concubines.
And there are many of them who gave birth to children for the former emperor and the Supreme Emperor. Those who gave birth to daughters are fine, but if those who gave birth to sons, the sons are already gone, and they have already been imprisoned. Perhaps they have never seen each other again in their entire lives. opportunity.
It's okay for these women to stay in the palace for a short time, but after a long time, if the woman in front of me is under strict guard and still seizes the opportunity to appear in front of him, those women who are malicious to him may not be able to find another Opportunity to assassinate himself.
There is also a concubine whose whole family has been copied, and she does not necessarily have no hatred for herself.
These women are bound to get out sooner or later.
Lin Liu's only problem is that he didn't make arrangements for these women's escape as soon as possible.
She thought for a while and looked at the concubine Gong: "So, do you want to leave the palace? Does everyone want to leave the palace?"
Concubine Gong touched her chest and took a deep breath.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at Lin Liu in surprise: "I have the same thoughts as many elders and sisters, and I hope the emperor will allow us to leave the palace." She glanced at Lin Liu carefully, "Of course, If the emperor does not want us to leave, please allow us to have a little time every day to come to the imperial garden to let the wind go."
In fact, she knew very well that life after leaving the palace would definitely not be very good.
The women who have lived in the palace to this day are not stupid, except for a very few who are pampered at home. After returning home, they may really live a better life than in the palace, but other women know very well that after leaving the palace Life is not necessarily better than it is now.
But at least free.
Even the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha at least left the palace.
These women have lived in the palace for at least seven or eight years. As long as they think that they will have to live alone in the palace for the rest of their lives, the only people who talk to them are eunuchs, maids, and even former rivals...
The harem is not that big, and their movements are restricted, and there is almost only a small square courtyard in their daily life.
This life is too suffocating.
Lin Liu met Shang Gongfei's eyes, and found the firmness in her eyes without any surprise.
She paused and asked, "What's your name?"
The concubine was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to expect that Lin Liu would care about her name, she couldn't help showing a sincere smile: "I am the daughter of Jianshang, former Minister of Rites, and her baby name is Huizhen."
Minister of Rites...
Lin Liu recalled it for a long time, and only remembered that it was a woman with a smooth beard and stubborn eyes, who "bear the humiliation" before the former emperor was killed, and yelled at her after the former emperor was killed, and finally even tried to protect his heart. "Orthodoxy" and committed suicide at the gate of the palace...
Stubborn little old man.
Lin Liu will remember the Minister of Rites not because he dared to point his nose and curse——
After the news that she was about to ascend the throne as a woman, there were quite a few people who dared to curse at her, and the official position of Minister of Rites was not even the biggest.
These people not only scolded her, but even Lin Ruhai.
But maybe they are all educated people, and they don't use dirty words when they swear, and the most frequently used word is "henjisichen".
After Lin Liu decided to be the emperor, he had already anticipated such a scene, so he didn't take what these people said to heart at all, and forgot it after hearing it. As long as it was aimed at her alone and did not implicate others, Lin Liu Not even guilty of it.
But at the same time, Lin Liu didn't take these people to heart at all.
She will remember the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites because after the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty were examined, almost all the army was wiped out, and the ones who committed the most crimes will not be mentioned. deserve it.
Even the most minor crimes have shielded their relatives and friends, mitigated their crimes after their relatives and friends broke the law, and helped them escape punishment.
Why "almost"?
Because there is one exception: Jianshang, the Minister of Rites, no matter how he investigates, Jianshang has never violated any laws and regulations promulgated by the imperial court.
When the people below found out this result, Lin Liu didn't feel anything wrong at first, but when she found out that he was the only exception in the entire court, she naturally remembered this person.
Jian Shang is not a good person. After all, judging from his attitude of committing suicide by knocking on the door in order to prevent Lin Liu from ascending the throne, we can see his attitude towards women and the importance he attaches to "ancestral etiquette".
But what he does better than other men is that Jian Shang not only requires others to strictly abide by the laws, regulations and morals in his mind, but also sets an example by himself, without going beyond the rules at all.
Such a person, even if it doesn't match Lin Liu's three views, still makes people feel admirable.
So after hearing that Jian Huizhen turned out to be Jian Shang's daughter, Lin Liu took a rare look at her: "Are you really Jian Shang's daughter?"
Jian Huizhen smiled: "I dare not lie to the emperor."
Lin Liu sighed and asked, "If you were Jian Shang's daughter, wouldn't you hate me? After all, to some extent, your father's death has something to do with me."
The smile on Jian Huizhen's face faded, and she said: "This is his own choice. How can a concubine, a daughter, have a position to comment on his decision? To tell you the truth, if my father is still alive, perhaps today, the emperor will not see him." concubine."
The reason why I can't see her may be that she will not appear in front of Lin Liu, or it may be...
she died?
Lin Liu was slightly taken aback: "You..."
Jian Huizhen looked at her words and guessed Lin Liu's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "The emperor was thinking about it, and the concubine said that she would not appear because her father was alive. Even if the concubine stayed in the palace and lived a life like a bird in a cage, she would never return home."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, so my father will not let me die in love. But for the rest of my life, I'm afraid I will have to pray for the former emperor in the Buddhist hall and be a widow."
A Buddhist temple is no different than a Buddhist temple. When you become a monk in a Buddhist temple, you can still get in touch with other people, and occasionally you can even leave the Buddhist temple to walk outside.
The Buddhist hall is set up at home, not even a courtyard, just a small room, which is much smaller than Jian Huizhen's residence in the palace; there may be a memorial tablet of the former emperor in it, and she stays alone If you chant scriptures and pray for blessings inside, you may be driven crazy after a long time.
Lin Liu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Jian Huizhen smiled: "You don't have to worry too much. Most of the sisters in this palace just want to save their lives, and they just want to leave the palace to live their own lives according to their own wishes. No one thinks about revenge."
The first half of their young life has been dedicated to the family, and the second half of their life still wants to live by themselves.
Lin Liu looked at Jian Huizhen, smiled, and turned to look at Jin Qiu: "Go and show Mrs. Jian to see if she is seriously injured. Remember to prescribe a medicine for her so that she can recuperate well in the palace."
Said to leave.
Jian Huizhen was in a hurry, endured the pain and walked a few steps from the ground, mournfully said: "Your Majesty, you haven't answered my concubine's question..."
Lin Liu paused, then looked back at Jian Huizhen: "I will definitely let you go out, but I haven't figured out how to arrange you. I'll let someone tell you when I think of a way to arrange you. "
Jian Huizhen thought that Lin Liu was worried that they would take revenge based on their current identities, so she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the sons of the former emperor and the Supreme Emperor are almost gone, even if someone wants to use the banner of the former royal family to do bad things , it is impossible to find women like us..."
Lin Liu sighed, and turned around helplessly: "Are you leaving the palace in such a hurry?"
Jian Huizhen looked at Lin Liu pitifully, and nodded cautiously.
Lin Liu sighed again: "But after you leave the palace, where do you live? Go back to your mother's house? Jian Shang is gone, don't you still have a mother, two brothers, two sister-in-laws, nephews and nieces at home? How can you be so sure? After many years, the elder brothers who already have their own small families will welcome you home? Don't forget, your current status is not the emperor's concubine that makes them feel proud, but the widow of the former emperor that people avoid .”
Jian Huizhen was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "I know, but I don't plan to stay at my mother's house for a long time."
Although she had been in the boudoir before entering the palace and rarely went out, she also heard that many widows who had lost their husbands returned to their natal families and were welcomed by their natal family at first, but after a long time, after all their money was taken out The tragedy of being kicked out by her natal family.
So she didn't plan to stay at her mother's house for a long time at the beginning.
After staying in the palace for a long time, even a fool should understand that money is something that must be in one's own hands to be safe, and also understand that in this world, relying on the sky and the earth is not as good as relying on oneself.
Lin Liu didn't expect Jian Huizhen to think so thoroughly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But thinking of the outside environment, I still couldn't help asking: "What if your family wants to harm you? Leaving aside the attitudes of your mother and two elder brothers, is it possible for your two sisters-in-law?" For the sake of your own child, do you want you to disappear?"
Even if there is no chastity archway, it is still a clan society after all.
The biggest feature of the clan society is that it is about sitting together. If someone does something good and the reputation spreads far and wide, the entire clan will naturally benefit, but if someone makes a mistake, the reputation of everyone in the clan will also be affected.
Will Jian Huizhen's return to the Jian family affect the social and official career of the Jian family, and will it affect the reputation of the younger generation?These are all things to consider.
Otherwise, wait until the conflict breaks out and the relationship between the family is broken, forget it, and you may lose your life because of it.
Jian Huizhen opened her mouth, but was speechless for a while.
Only then did she realize that after thinking so much, they still thought less.
They only thought that after leaving the palace, they would be able to decide their own lives, but they didn't expect that their own existence might be like a thorn in the throat of their natal family, and they wished to get rid of it quickly.
Jian Huizhen can guarantee that her family will definitely not do this.
But can she guarantee that the family members of other women in the harem will not do the same?
Jian Huizhen sat on the ground slumped, she couldn't even feel the pain in her chest, only her grievance was extremely stuffy.
Lin Liu sighed: "You go back to the harem first and wait for the news. I will discuss it with others first, and then I will let someone give you the news." After a pause, she said, "This is related to your life in the future, and you must Think about what you want to do after leaving the palace."
She said without hesitation, "I can still keep you in the palace now, but before I get married, I will definitely let you all out of the palace."
When Jian Huizhen heard the news, she was not happy at all, but began to panic.
But she still nodded: "The concubine knows, let's go back and let them think of an idea together. We have a lot of people, so maybe we can think of a suitable way."
Lin Liu nodded, turned around and motioned for Jin Qiu to come forward to diagnose and treat Jian Huizhen, while she brought the other three maidservants back to the imperial study.
She thought for a while and said, "Bichun, you go to Congda and ask him to call your father and Ji Song. After giving the order, you go to the Hanlin Academy and invite Daiyu and the others over."
Bichun was stunned for a moment, realizing that Lin Liu was talking about the female officials who had successfully won Jinshi in this imperial examination, so she took the order to retire.
Not long after, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song arrived one after another. They were wondering why Lin Liu asked them to come here, so they heard Lin Liu say: "Wait a minute, I even called Daiyu and the others to come here."
Daiyu?they?
The two looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Liu wanted to do.
Not long after, Bichun came in with Daiyu, Sheng Man, Xue Baochai and others.The ages of these women vary greatly, and it is obvious that some of them are already married, while others are not.
But they all combed their hair up and hid it in their official hats. They were all dressed in the same way, and it was impossible to tell who was never married.
After entering the imperial study room, they first knelt down and saluted.
After getting up, Lin Liu asked for a chair for each of them.
Men on the left and women on the right, although the number of people seems to be a little different, but no one cares about this at the moment.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Liu explained the reason for letting them come here today: "Today I met a concubine of the former emperor in the harem. She told me many things and asked me to deal with them as soon as possible. .”
She glanced at everyone and recounted all the conversations she had with Jian Huizhen.
After it was over, Lin Liu couldn't help sighing: "I would be happy to fulfill them, after all, it is impossible for me to keep them in the palace until they die of old age. But now there is no suitable arrangement, if they are rashly let out of the palace, what will happen to them in the future I'm afraid it won't be good."
Lin Liu had discussed this matter with Lin Ruhai and Ji Song before, so he was not surprised to hear this.
The female official on the other side frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect that Lin Liu still kept the harem of the former Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Sheng Man used to be Mrs. Lin Liu, and her attitude towards her was more casual, so she said directly: "In the harem of the former emperor, the emperor was soft-hearted. It is a good thing that he does not want to kill people, but he should also be sent to defend the emperor." Mausoleum, or sent to the royal temple of the previous court. You left them in the harem because you thought...the hidden danger is too great."
Sheng Man wanted to criticize, but thinking of Lin Liu's current status, she finally held back.
But she really couldn't figure out why Lin Liu left these women behind.
Sheng Man does not discriminate against these women. To a certain extent, these women who can enter the palace are all very good. Not only are they from outstanding family backgrounds, they also definitely have good talents and learning. Those who are still alive today are definitely not dodder flowers. Type.
From some perspectives, these women who are still alive today are really outstanding.
But no matter how good they are, they are not worth their danger.
Because the more outstanding they are, the greater the chance they will do when they want to do something to Lin Liu.
Not only did Sheng Man say this, but Daiyu and the others who did not speak also looked at Lin Liu worriedly.
They knew very well that Lin Liu was the one who gave them another choice from marrying and having children. Out of personal feelings, they regarded Lin Liu as a benefactor; out of interests, they naturally stood on the same side with Lin Liu. On the front line, Lin Liu is still the biggest and only guarantee for them to have everything they have now.
No matter what angle they looked at, they were sincerely worried about Lin Liu's safety, and absolutely did not want her to have an accident for any reason.
But Lin Ruhai and Ji Song had already mentioned this point to Lin Liu.
Lin Liu's final decision was to directly block the gates of the front court and the rear palace. Except for the purchase of the imperial dining room and some personnel of the House of Internal Affairs, the palace people who served the front court and the rear palace would never be allowed to visit each other.
The only one who can break this rule is Lin Liu herself.
And those who can come out of the harem also have a separate way out of the palace, and everyone who leaves the palace will be searched by the guards, and it is completely impossible to hide too big things.
Lin Liu was protected by Liang Xia, who practiced martial arts since childhood, so her safety was guaranteed.
Lin Liu also knew that Sheng Man had good intentions, so she carefully explained the reason.
After hearing this, Sheng Man was relieved.
Everyone else is also relieved.
After making sure that Lin Liu's safety was guaranteed, everyone turned their attention to those women in the harem.
First of all, it must be made clear that since Lin Liu did not send him to guard the imperial mausoleum, nor did he send him to the royal temple, he obviously did not agree with these two decisions.
Sheng Man and others directly deleted these two methods from their minds before starting to think.
Thinking about it, Sheng Man suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, is there a woman named Jian Huizhen among the women who are still alive in the harem?"
Lin Liu was taken aback, then nodded: "The one who came to see me earlier was Jian Shang."
Sheng Man breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know about other women, but Jian Huizhen, if it is necessary to arrange, it is relatively easy. She had a close relationship with Weichen back then, and she also studied under the same teacher as Weichen."
"Jian Huizhen was raised as a prince and concubine in her early years. Not only is she proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, she is also a female housekeeper, and she is also a good hand in interpersonal communication. But later, the father of Jianshang, the Minister of Rites, died, and she missed being a prince by keeping her filial piety. Concubine's opportunity, after the old Mr. Jian's family left, Jian Huizhen's family background also dropped a lot, so in the end she was carried into the royal family as a side concubine."
"Jian Huizhen is extremely talented, it is not difficult to arrange."
Sheng Man smiled, "As long as the emperor doesn't care about it, I can invite someone to my home to teach the fourth generation of my natal family. Regardless of gender, Jian Huizhen can do it."
After all, if you want to be a concubine, you can't just have some talents to please people, can you?In addition to talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Jian Huizhen also studied the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and theory.Just to be able to advise the prince when he encounters difficulties.
Sheng Man was fortunate to have seen a policy theory written by Jian Huizhen back then, and felt that although the policy theory was concise, every word was precise, and every sentence hit the point.At that time, she realized that the other party's level had not only surpassed their husband's, even her father and brother were inferior to Jian Huizhen's ability.
At that time, she felt pity that if Jian Huizhen was born as a man, the Jian family would be able to improve to a higher level, so why can she only rely on her daughter to take the throne?
Now that the other party wants to leave the palace, she will win over someone to be a husband in her home in advance, and there will definitely be a few good seedlings in the next generation of the Sheng family.
After hearing this, Lin Liu subconsciously squinted her eyes: "You mean, Jian Huizhen is not only proficient in all kinds of talents, but also writes quite well?"
Policy theory is the policy of governing the country. A woman who can write policy theory well is absolutely impossible to be a weak woman who is pitiful and full of tears!
Lin Liu realized almost immediately that she had been cheated.
Ji Song understood Lin Liu's expression very well, and couldn't help asking, "But did Jian Huizhen lie?"
Lin Liu glanced at Ji Song, and smiled at him: "It's not really a lie."
Every word that came out of Jian Huizhen's mouth was accurate and without concealment.
But Lin Liu still felt that she was cheated.
But this is not important.
Most men like weak women. Jian Huizhen is trying to survive in the harem. It is normal for her to change her personality to cater to her in order to gain favor.
I just don't know if she used her food to win her sympathy, or if she has worn the mask for so long that she has forgotten her original appearance.If so, it can only be said that Jian Huizhen is already useless.
However, Lin Liu didn't say much about it, but after listening to Sheng Man's words, he suddenly thought of something that he hadn't planned to do, but would definitely do within ten years——
Start a women's school.
She didn't open a women's school immediately after taking the throne, not because she didn't think of it, nor did she feel that the timing was inappropriate——
After all, the sooner you start a school, the better.
Education has always been the easiest tool to change a person's thinking and character.
If we want to fundamentally change the world's thinking, we must not only find ways to install officials who speak for women at the top, but also find ways to open the ideological cage that has imprisoned women for thousands of years.
But Lin Liu has never opened a girls' school, and the reason why he didn't even mention it is because...
There are no suitable teachers.
The most important thing now is to allow women to have their own voice in the court. Only in this way, when she does other things in the future, she will not be hindered too much.
But the truly suitable teacher coincided with the female officials sitting in front of Lin Liu now.Let them be officials, so naturally they can no longer be teachers.
But Sheng Man's words made Lin Liu pay attention to another group of people who had never been considered by her.
The concubines in the harem, except for a very few who climbed to the top of the bed, are mostly noble girls. In order to get more favor from the emperor after entering the palace, they have received the best training since childhood.
Although there are only a few people like Jian Huizhen who have written good policy theories, they have at least read the Four Books and Five Classics and have their own unique opinions on them.
If such a person is used as a teacher, it is naturally perfect.
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man in surprise: "Sir, you have helped me a lot! But Jian Huizhen can't give it to you, I keep her for other great uses."
Lin Ruhai immediately understood Lin Liu's meaning: "You want Mrs. Jane to be your teacher? Whose teacher?"
Ji Song thought for a while and asked, "Female school?"
He just remembered that when Jia Zhu went to study in the academy, Lin Liu once casually sighed that she didn't want to go to school before, but now even if she wanted to go to school, she would have no chance now, so she said casually.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this was most likely what Lin Liu wanted to do next.
Lin Liu nodded as expected: "Yes, I couldn't find a teacher at first, and I didn't expect to bring it up so early. But since there is a suitable candidate in front of me, I naturally can't let it go easily."
Jane Hye-jung...
After thinking about it, Lin Liu suddenly thought of someone else: "Does any of you know the queen of the former emperor?"
After the emperor's death, Lin Liu originally thought that the queen would die in love.
After all, after the death of the former emperor, the empress dowager died in love, leaving no chance for others to save others.
But I didn't expect that after the former emperor was killed, the empress still ate and drank surprisingly well, she didn't look sad at all, and occasionally I could hear the empress chatting and laughing with the maids and maids around her.
When Lin Liu heard the news, she couldn't help being silent for a while.
But soon, she thought of the conversation with the queen.
The empress may have had feelings for the former emperor, but after the emperor ascended the throne, the feelings between the two may have faded away.
That's a good candidate for a teacher, too.
Lin Ruhai frowned and thought about it, and said, "It's certainly a very good thing that His Majesty wants to open a women's school. But has your Majesty ever thought that when the women's school is opened, there may not be many people to sign up?"
Ji Song also nodded: "Nowadays, there are only a minority of literate women."
Since there are few people who can read and write, after the women's school is established, naturally there are not many who meet the admission standards.Among the women who meet the standards, those who are married and become parents and do not want to study at all, and those who are strictly controlled at home and do not want them to come out to show their faces...
Thinking about it, I feel that the future of this female student is worrying.
Lin Liu smiled: "I didn't say that, this girls' school is for people who can already read and write? In the previous social environment, women who still had the opportunity to read and write had to be from a good family background or not. It’s just that the family has fallen, or it’s from that kind of place.”
"Even if these people choose to study, most of them will not do it out of their own hearts. They are most likely just forced by their parents to please me, the emperor, by enrolling in school."
After all, thoughts have already been finalized, and they cannot be changed overnight.
Sheng Man and Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Liu suspiciously: "Could it be that the women's school that His Majesty wants to run is just to teach people how to read and write?"
Lin Liu was puzzled: "Why can't it be like a private school outside, starting from the child's enlightenment and continuing to study until he can get a good name?"
Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then realized: "This is indeed possible."
Because Jian Huizhen was mentioned as a teacher, Jian Huizhen made Sheng Man praise all kinds of talents and theories. He subconsciously thought that this women's school was to teach students to write theories and take the imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, the little unicorn's ambition was more than that.
Before Xue Baochai and the others figured it out, Sheng Man subconsciously looked at Lin Daiyu.
Both are her students, Sheng Man is very aware of the difference between Lin Liu and Daiyu.
When she first taught Lin Liu, she seemed to have her own ideas, and she also had her own unique insights into various affairs and many things she encountered. She was not like a toddler who was still thinking. It is more like an adult who has gone through such a process, has found his own way forward, and has his own persistence.
Such a thought is actually a bit absurd, but when Sheng Man first came into contact with Lin Liu, he really felt this way.
Daiyu, the second daughter of the Lin family, is different. She is undoubtedly smart, and she can even be called a child prodigy.But even Daiyu, when she was a few years old, never had her own thoughts. Facing external things and things, her first reaction was still to contact and imitate others.
And the people who were imitated the most were naturally Jia Min, Sheng Man and Lin Liu who she had the most contact with.
Lin Liu had the greatest influence on Daiyu.
Because whether it is Sheng Man or Jia Min, their words and deeds are very similar, and their thinking is not much different from most people in this world.
Lin Liu is different, even if she only speaks out occasionally, people can clearly perceive that she is different from other people.
Unique is always the easiest to attract children.
So Daiyu will grow into what she is today, and Sheng Man, who has watched her grow up since childhood, is not surprised at all.
Not only Daiyu, but even the boys of the Lin family were influenced by Lin Liu.
Lin Liu obviously knew when to be most easily influenced, so from the very beginning, she set her target on those girls who were not yet enlightened...
Influence the thoughts of those girls from an early age, and sooner or later, these children will have different thoughts from the world today.
Once a child's thinking changes, the world changes too.
Suddenly, Sheng Man was full of pride and ambition, and she really wanted to see it, and even promoted that day with her own hands.
She got up and walked in front of Lin Liu, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that I can resign from my official position and teach those children myself. I hope the emperor will make it happen!"
Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I understand what Mr. is thinking, but it's not possible!"
Sheng Man looked up, a little puzzled: "Since there is no teacher, why..."
Lin Liu said bluntly: "Because I am not only short of teachers, but also lack of officials. The lack of teachers can temporarily delay the process of opening a women's school, but if there is a lack of female officials, it is unknown whether the women's school can be opened."
Lin Ruhai obviously knew those officials very well, and after hearing this, he couldn't help persuading him: "If women can't have the right to speak in the court, even if the emperor is there, even Ji Song and I will support the emperor. Yes, almost all male officials are against it, and this women's school will definitely not open."
"In other words, it cannot be opened in the name of the emperor."
In modern society, many people envy the various treatment of Japanese, Japanese, and full-time housewives, but in fact, all the benefits of Japanese, Japanese, and full-time housewives did not fall out of thin air——
During the period when the legal provisions on women's rights and interests were promulgated, the number of women participating in politics in Japan and Japan reached the highest level in history, and even exceeded half of them.The promulgation of those legal provisions was also promoted by those female politicians, and has never had anything to do with men.
If it is now, do you think those legal provisions will be promulgated?
Once there are only men left in the court, even if a woman is sitting in the highest position, after many years, she will only be left empty.
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man seriously: "Sir, being an official is far more important and meaningful than being a teacher. If you want to witness that moment with your own eyes, you might as well climb all the way up, the higher you climb The better, so that you have the ability to protect that seed and watch it take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree instead of dying halfway."
Shocked, Sheng Man immediately admitted his mistake: "My minister is confused, please forgive me."
Lin Liu waved her hand to get her up, but didn't say anything else.
Listening to Lin Liu's words, Daiyu and the others realized that being an official through the imperial examination not only changed their own destiny, but might even affect the fate of more people.
Lin Liu was very satisfied with their reactions and did not interrupt them.
Until Xue Baochai, who had been keeping her brows down since entering the door, was silent and said suddenly: "
The former emperor...
If this woman hadn't appeared, she would have almost forgotten that there were women from the former emperor and the overlord in the harem.
Lin Liu wanted to release the women in the palace from the very beginning, but the environment was not good at that time. She asked Lin Ruhai and others what would happen to these concubines after they were released, and then one of them would probably "suicide and die for love". The Qingdeng Ancient Buddha passed away, and only a few lucky ones can return home to spend their lives peacefully.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was fine, the number of people in the harem was not too many, only about thirty people; Almost two hundred.
About [-] of them are old and decrepit, and the rest are only in their twenties and thirties.
If all these women are released from the palace, at least one hundred and thirty "sacrifices" will be made at that time, and dozens of them will become monks at that time, and only a few will have a good death.
For Lin Liu, this was a crime.
After she hesitated, she temporarily left this group of people behind.
Afterwards, Lin Liu was busy with all kinds of big and small matters, and Lin Liu's mind was completely occupied by those big and small business affairs, and he couldn't remember the group of invisible women in the harem at all.
So, there was this embarrassing scene in front of me...
Lin Liu coughed and forced a smile on his face: "What are you looking for... Zhen?"
The imperial concubine had tears in her eyes, and she looked at Lin Liu pitifully: "And the manpower is meager, and I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to ask the emperor what he wants to do with us. We, the women of the former emperor and the emperor, were rejected by the emperor. Locked in the palace, although you still have food and clothing, you have no freedom at all, even if you want to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, it is impossible to get permission."
She glanced at Lin Liu thoughtfully, and lowered her head, "I have been locked up in the palace for more than half a year, and I have been in fear all day long. I don't know when... I just want to ask the emperor, what do you think about us people? If you want to deal with us, please tell us clearly, so that our hearts can be at ease."
As she said, the women of the former emperor stayed in the palace for a bad name, and because they were worried that they would bump into the emperor and others when they went out and disturb them, so they were directly placed under house arrest in disguise. There is no chance to appear in front of the emperor at all.
She was able to seize the opportunity to appear this time, because all the women in the harem did not want to stay in the palace as widows, and they were under house arrest in disguise, so everyone contributed money and effort, and finally managed to match up with some palace eunuchs and let them do it. My own ear repays the gods, and when Lin Liu comes to the harem, he finds someone to meet him by chance;
——It's a pity that Lin Liu has been in the harem for more than half a year, but the number of times he has been to the harem is only a handful of times. The other times he only stayed in the imperial garden for a short time before being called away. People can't even wait for the chance to meet .
Secondly, it is because Lin Liu has been on the throne for so long, and their group of people have also seen the temperament of Lin Liu, the female emperor. But the victory lies in his decisive and calm temperament, loving the people like a child, and being forward-looking.
But what they liked the most was Lin Liu's reasoning, and her unabashed sympathy and pity for the situation of women.
That's why she came here to meet Lin Liu at the risk of offending Lin Liu.
Who knew that because she came out so suddenly and moved so fast, people would suspect that she was an assassin?
Who would have thought that the maid beside the empress would be highly skilled in martial arts and more vigilant?
The concubine let her hair cover her face, and then bared her teeth and screamed silently——
If she hadn't been quick-witted and immediately shouted "Long live the emperor" when she realized something was wrong, she might not have been kicked two meters away, but had her head cut off with a knife.
Lin Liu felt a bit guilty after listening to the concubine's words.
She kept these women in the palace because she was worried that they would be killed or have a bad life when they returned home, but now it seems that they are no better than leaving the palace.
Lin Liu opened his mouth, intending to punish the people below for making their own decisions, but after thinking about it, there was no other way.
Even if she is soft-hearted, it is impossible to keep these women in the palace forever.
It's okay now, but what about after she and Ji Song get married?At that time, she will no longer be the only woman in the harem who avoids these concubines.
And there are many of them who gave birth to children for the former emperor and the Supreme Emperor. Those who gave birth to daughters are fine, but if those who gave birth to sons, the sons are already gone, and they have already been imprisoned. Perhaps they have never seen each other again in their entire lives. opportunity.
It's okay for these women to stay in the palace for a short time, but after a long time, if the woman in front of me is under strict guard and still seizes the opportunity to appear in front of him, those women who are malicious to him may not be able to find another Opportunity to assassinate himself.
There is also a concubine whose whole family has been copied, and she does not necessarily have no hatred for herself.
These women are bound to get out sooner or later.
Lin Liu's only problem is that he didn't make arrangements for these women's escape as soon as possible.
She thought for a while and looked at the concubine Gong: "So, do you want to leave the palace? Does everyone want to leave the palace?"
Concubine Gong touched her chest and took a deep breath.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at Lin Liu in surprise: "I have the same thoughts as many elders and sisters, and I hope the emperor will allow us to leave the palace." She glanced at Lin Liu carefully, "Of course, If the emperor does not want us to leave, please allow us to have a little time every day to come to the imperial garden to let the wind go."
In fact, she knew very well that life after leaving the palace would definitely not be very good.
The women who have lived in the palace to this day are not stupid, except for a very few who are pampered at home. After returning home, they may really live a better life than in the palace, but other women know very well that after leaving the palace Life is not necessarily better than it is now.
But at least free.
Even the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha at least left the palace.
These women have lived in the palace for at least seven or eight years. As long as they think that they will have to live alone in the palace for the rest of their lives, the only people who talk to them are eunuchs, maids, and even former rivals...
The harem is not that big, and their movements are restricted, and there is almost only a small square courtyard in their daily life.
This life is too suffocating.
Lin Liu met Shang Gongfei's eyes, and found the firmness in her eyes without any surprise.
She paused and asked, "What's your name?"
The concubine was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to expect that Lin Liu would care about her name, she couldn't help showing a sincere smile: "I am the daughter of Jianshang, former Minister of Rites, and her baby name is Huizhen."
Minister of Rites...
Lin Liu recalled it for a long time, and only remembered that it was a woman with a smooth beard and stubborn eyes, who "bear the humiliation" before the former emperor was killed, and yelled at her after the former emperor was killed, and finally even tried to protect his heart. "Orthodoxy" and committed suicide at the gate of the palace...
Stubborn little old man.
Lin Liu will remember the Minister of Rites not because he dared to point his nose and curse——
After the news that she was about to ascend the throne as a woman, there were quite a few people who dared to curse at her, and the official position of Minister of Rites was not even the biggest.
These people not only scolded her, but even Lin Ruhai.
But maybe they are all educated people, and they don't use dirty words when they swear, and the most frequently used word is "henjisichen".
After Lin Liu decided to be the emperor, he had already anticipated such a scene, so he didn't take what these people said to heart at all, and forgot it after hearing it. As long as it was aimed at her alone and did not implicate others, Lin Liu Not even guilty of it.
But at the same time, Lin Liu didn't take these people to heart at all.
She will remember the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites because after the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty were examined, almost all the army was wiped out, and the ones who committed the most crimes will not be mentioned. deserve it.
Even the most minor crimes have shielded their relatives and friends, mitigated their crimes after their relatives and friends broke the law, and helped them escape punishment.
Why "almost"?
Because there is one exception: Jianshang, the Minister of Rites, no matter how he investigates, Jianshang has never violated any laws and regulations promulgated by the imperial court.
When the people below found out this result, Lin Liu didn't feel anything wrong at first, but when she found out that he was the only exception in the entire court, she naturally remembered this person.
Jian Shang is not a good person. After all, judging from his attitude of committing suicide by knocking on the door in order to prevent Lin Liu from ascending the throne, we can see his attitude towards women and the importance he attaches to "ancestral etiquette".
But what he does better than other men is that Jian Shang not only requires others to strictly abide by the laws, regulations and morals in his mind, but also sets an example by himself, without going beyond the rules at all.
Such a person, even if it doesn't match Lin Liu's three views, still makes people feel admirable.
So after hearing that Jian Huizhen turned out to be Jian Shang's daughter, Lin Liu took a rare look at her: "Are you really Jian Shang's daughter?"
Jian Huizhen smiled: "I dare not lie to the emperor."
Lin Liu sighed and asked, "If you were Jian Shang's daughter, wouldn't you hate me? After all, to some extent, your father's death has something to do with me."
The smile on Jian Huizhen's face faded, and she said: "This is his own choice. How can a concubine, a daughter, have a position to comment on his decision? To tell you the truth, if my father is still alive, perhaps today, the emperor will not see him." concubine."
The reason why I can't see her may be that she will not appear in front of Lin Liu, or it may be...
she died?
Lin Liu was slightly taken aback: "You..."
Jian Huizhen looked at her words and guessed Lin Liu's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "The emperor was thinking about it, and the concubine said that she would not appear because her father was alive. Even if the concubine stayed in the palace and lived a life like a bird in a cage, she would never return home."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, so my father will not let me die in love. But for the rest of my life, I'm afraid I will have to pray for the former emperor in the Buddhist hall and be a widow."
A Buddhist temple is no different than a Buddhist temple. When you become a monk in a Buddhist temple, you can still get in touch with other people, and occasionally you can even leave the Buddhist temple to walk outside.
The Buddhist hall is set up at home, not even a courtyard, just a small room, which is much smaller than Jian Huizhen's residence in the palace; there may be a memorial tablet of the former emperor in it, and she stays alone If you chant scriptures and pray for blessings inside, you may be driven crazy after a long time.
Lin Liu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Jian Huizhen smiled: "You don't have to worry too much. Most of the sisters in this palace just want to save their lives, and they just want to leave the palace to live their own lives according to their own wishes. No one thinks about revenge."
The first half of their young life has been dedicated to the family, and the second half of their life still wants to live by themselves.
Lin Liu looked at Jian Huizhen, smiled, and turned to look at Jin Qiu: "Go and show Mrs. Jian to see if she is seriously injured. Remember to prescribe a medicine for her so that she can recuperate well in the palace."
Said to leave.
Jian Huizhen was in a hurry, endured the pain and walked a few steps from the ground, mournfully said: "Your Majesty, you haven't answered my concubine's question..."
Lin Liu paused, then looked back at Jian Huizhen: "I will definitely let you go out, but I haven't figured out how to arrange you. I'll let someone tell you when I think of a way to arrange you. "
Jian Huizhen thought that Lin Liu was worried that they would take revenge based on their current identities, so she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the sons of the former emperor and the Supreme Emperor are almost gone, even if someone wants to use the banner of the former royal family to do bad things , it is impossible to find women like us..."
Lin Liu sighed, and turned around helplessly: "Are you leaving the palace in such a hurry?"
Jian Huizhen looked at Lin Liu pitifully, and nodded cautiously.
Lin Liu sighed again: "But after you leave the palace, where do you live? Go back to your mother's house? Jian Shang is gone, don't you still have a mother, two brothers, two sister-in-laws, nephews and nieces at home? How can you be so sure? After many years, the elder brothers who already have their own small families will welcome you home? Don't forget, your current status is not the emperor's concubine that makes them feel proud, but the widow of the former emperor that people avoid .”
Jian Huizhen was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "I know, but I don't plan to stay at my mother's house for a long time."
Although she had been in the boudoir before entering the palace and rarely went out, she also heard that many widows who had lost their husbands returned to their natal families and were welcomed by their natal family at first, but after a long time, after all their money was taken out The tragedy of being kicked out by her natal family.
So she didn't plan to stay at her mother's house for a long time at the beginning.
After staying in the palace for a long time, even a fool should understand that money is something that must be in one's own hands to be safe, and also understand that in this world, relying on the sky and the earth is not as good as relying on oneself.
Lin Liu didn't expect Jian Huizhen to think so thoroughly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But thinking of the outside environment, I still couldn't help asking: "What if your family wants to harm you? Leaving aside the attitudes of your mother and two elder brothers, is it possible for your two sisters-in-law?" For the sake of your own child, do you want you to disappear?"
Even if there is no chastity archway, it is still a clan society after all.
The biggest feature of the clan society is that it is about sitting together. If someone does something good and the reputation spreads far and wide, the entire clan will naturally benefit, but if someone makes a mistake, the reputation of everyone in the clan will also be affected.
Will Jian Huizhen's return to the Jian family affect the social and official career of the Jian family, and will it affect the reputation of the younger generation?These are all things to consider.
Otherwise, wait until the conflict breaks out and the relationship between the family is broken, forget it, and you may lose your life because of it.
Jian Huizhen opened her mouth, but was speechless for a while.
Only then did she realize that after thinking so much, they still thought less.
They only thought that after leaving the palace, they would be able to decide their own lives, but they didn't expect that their own existence might be like a thorn in the throat of their natal family, and they wished to get rid of it quickly.
Jian Huizhen can guarantee that her family will definitely not do this.
But can she guarantee that the family members of other women in the harem will not do the same?
Jian Huizhen sat on the ground slumped, she couldn't even feel the pain in her chest, only her grievance was extremely stuffy.
Lin Liu sighed: "You go back to the harem first and wait for the news. I will discuss it with others first, and then I will let someone give you the news." After a pause, she said, "This is related to your life in the future, and you must Think about what you want to do after leaving the palace."
She said without hesitation, "I can still keep you in the palace now, but before I get married, I will definitely let you all out of the palace."
When Jian Huizhen heard the news, she was not happy at all, but began to panic.
But she still nodded: "The concubine knows, let's go back and let them think of an idea together. We have a lot of people, so maybe we can think of a suitable way."
Lin Liu nodded, turned around and motioned for Jin Qiu to come forward to diagnose and treat Jian Huizhen, while she brought the other three maidservants back to the imperial study.
She thought for a while and said, "Bichun, you go to Congda and ask him to call your father and Ji Song. After giving the order, you go to the Hanlin Academy and invite Daiyu and the others over."
Bichun was stunned for a moment, realizing that Lin Liu was talking about the female officials who had successfully won Jinshi in this imperial examination, so she took the order to retire.
Not long after, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song arrived one after another. They were wondering why Lin Liu asked them to come here, so they heard Lin Liu say: "Wait a minute, I even called Daiyu and the others to come here."
Daiyu?they?
The two looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Liu wanted to do.
Not long after, Bichun came in with Daiyu, Sheng Man, Xue Baochai and others.The ages of these women vary greatly, and it is obvious that some of them are already married, while others are not.
But they all combed their hair up and hid it in their official hats. They were all dressed in the same way, and it was impossible to tell who was never married.
After entering the imperial study room, they first knelt down and saluted.
After getting up, Lin Liu asked for a chair for each of them.
Men on the left and women on the right, although the number of people seems to be a little different, but no one cares about this at the moment.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Liu explained the reason for letting them come here today: "Today I met a concubine of the former emperor in the harem. She told me many things and asked me to deal with them as soon as possible. .”
She glanced at everyone and recounted all the conversations she had with Jian Huizhen.
After it was over, Lin Liu couldn't help sighing: "I would be happy to fulfill them, after all, it is impossible for me to keep them in the palace until they die of old age. But now there is no suitable arrangement, if they are rashly let out of the palace, what will happen to them in the future I'm afraid it won't be good."
Lin Liu had discussed this matter with Lin Ruhai and Ji Song before, so he was not surprised to hear this.
The female official on the other side frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect that Lin Liu still kept the harem of the former Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Sheng Man used to be Mrs. Lin Liu, and her attitude towards her was more casual, so she said directly: "In the harem of the former emperor, the emperor was soft-hearted. It is a good thing that he does not want to kill people, but he should also be sent to defend the emperor." Mausoleum, or sent to the royal temple of the previous court. You left them in the harem because you thought...the hidden danger is too great."
Sheng Man wanted to criticize, but thinking of Lin Liu's current status, she finally held back.
But she really couldn't figure out why Lin Liu left these women behind.
Sheng Man does not discriminate against these women. To a certain extent, these women who can enter the palace are all very good. Not only are they from outstanding family backgrounds, they also definitely have good talents and learning. Those who are still alive today are definitely not dodder flowers. Type.
From some perspectives, these women who are still alive today are really outstanding.
But no matter how good they are, they are not worth their danger.
Because the more outstanding they are, the greater the chance they will do when they want to do something to Lin Liu.
Not only did Sheng Man say this, but Daiyu and the others who did not speak also looked at Lin Liu worriedly.
They knew very well that Lin Liu was the one who gave them another choice from marrying and having children. Out of personal feelings, they regarded Lin Liu as a benefactor; out of interests, they naturally stood on the same side with Lin Liu. On the front line, Lin Liu is still the biggest and only guarantee for them to have everything they have now.
No matter what angle they looked at, they were sincerely worried about Lin Liu's safety, and absolutely did not want her to have an accident for any reason.
But Lin Ruhai and Ji Song had already mentioned this point to Lin Liu.
Lin Liu's final decision was to directly block the gates of the front court and the rear palace. Except for the purchase of the imperial dining room and some personnel of the House of Internal Affairs, the palace people who served the front court and the rear palace would never be allowed to visit each other.
The only one who can break this rule is Lin Liu herself.
And those who can come out of the harem also have a separate way out of the palace, and everyone who leaves the palace will be searched by the guards, and it is completely impossible to hide too big things.
Lin Liu was protected by Liang Xia, who practiced martial arts since childhood, so her safety was guaranteed.
Lin Liu also knew that Sheng Man had good intentions, so she carefully explained the reason.
After hearing this, Sheng Man was relieved.
Everyone else is also relieved.
After making sure that Lin Liu's safety was guaranteed, everyone turned their attention to those women in the harem.
First of all, it must be made clear that since Lin Liu did not send him to guard the imperial mausoleum, nor did he send him to the royal temple, he obviously did not agree with these two decisions.
Sheng Man and others directly deleted these two methods from their minds before starting to think.
Thinking about it, Sheng Man suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, is there a woman named Jian Huizhen among the women who are still alive in the harem?"
Lin Liu was taken aback, then nodded: "The one who came to see me earlier was Jian Shang."
Sheng Man breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know about other women, but Jian Huizhen, if it is necessary to arrange, it is relatively easy. She had a close relationship with Weichen back then, and she also studied under the same teacher as Weichen."
"Jian Huizhen was raised as a prince and concubine in her early years. Not only is she proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, she is also a female housekeeper, and she is also a good hand in interpersonal communication. But later, the father of Jianshang, the Minister of Rites, died, and she missed being a prince by keeping her filial piety. Concubine's opportunity, after the old Mr. Jian's family left, Jian Huizhen's family background also dropped a lot, so in the end she was carried into the royal family as a side concubine."
"Jian Huizhen is extremely talented, it is not difficult to arrange."
Sheng Man smiled, "As long as the emperor doesn't care about it, I can invite someone to my home to teach the fourth generation of my natal family. Regardless of gender, Jian Huizhen can do it."
After all, if you want to be a concubine, you can't just have some talents to please people, can you?In addition to talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Jian Huizhen also studied the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and theory.Just to be able to advise the prince when he encounters difficulties.
Sheng Man was fortunate to have seen a policy theory written by Jian Huizhen back then, and felt that although the policy theory was concise, every word was precise, and every sentence hit the point.At that time, she realized that the other party's level had not only surpassed their husband's, even her father and brother were inferior to Jian Huizhen's ability.
At that time, she felt pity that if Jian Huizhen was born as a man, the Jian family would be able to improve to a higher level, so why can she only rely on her daughter to take the throne?
Now that the other party wants to leave the palace, she will win over someone to be a husband in her home in advance, and there will definitely be a few good seedlings in the next generation of the Sheng family.
After hearing this, Lin Liu subconsciously squinted her eyes: "You mean, Jian Huizhen is not only proficient in all kinds of talents, but also writes quite well?"
Policy theory is the policy of governing the country. A woman who can write policy theory well is absolutely impossible to be a weak woman who is pitiful and full of tears!
Lin Liu realized almost immediately that she had been cheated.
Ji Song understood Lin Liu's expression very well, and couldn't help asking, "But did Jian Huizhen lie?"
Lin Liu glanced at Ji Song, and smiled at him: "It's not really a lie."
Every word that came out of Jian Huizhen's mouth was accurate and without concealment.
But Lin Liu still felt that she was cheated.
But this is not important.
Most men like weak women. Jian Huizhen is trying to survive in the harem. It is normal for her to change her personality to cater to her in order to gain favor.
I just don't know if she used her food to win her sympathy, or if she has worn the mask for so long that she has forgotten her original appearance.If so, it can only be said that Jian Huizhen is already useless.
However, Lin Liu didn't say much about it, but after listening to Sheng Man's words, he suddenly thought of something that he hadn't planned to do, but would definitely do within ten years——
Start a women's school.
She didn't open a women's school immediately after taking the throne, not because she didn't think of it, nor did she feel that the timing was inappropriate——
After all, the sooner you start a school, the better.
Education has always been the easiest tool to change a person's thinking and character.
If we want to fundamentally change the world's thinking, we must not only find ways to install officials who speak for women at the top, but also find ways to open the ideological cage that has imprisoned women for thousands of years.
But Lin Liu has never opened a girls' school, and the reason why he didn't even mention it is because...
There are no suitable teachers.
The most important thing now is to allow women to have their own voice in the court. Only in this way, when she does other things in the future, she will not be hindered too much.
But the truly suitable teacher coincided with the female officials sitting in front of Lin Liu now.Let them be officials, so naturally they can no longer be teachers.
But Sheng Man's words made Lin Liu pay attention to another group of people who had never been considered by her.
The concubines in the harem, except for a very few who climbed to the top of the bed, are mostly noble girls. In order to get more favor from the emperor after entering the palace, they have received the best training since childhood.
Although there are only a few people like Jian Huizhen who have written good policy theories, they have at least read the Four Books and Five Classics and have their own unique opinions on them.
If such a person is used as a teacher, it is naturally perfect.
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man in surprise: "Sir, you have helped me a lot! But Jian Huizhen can't give it to you, I keep her for other great uses."
Lin Ruhai immediately understood Lin Liu's meaning: "You want Mrs. Jane to be your teacher? Whose teacher?"
Ji Song thought for a while and asked, "Female school?"
He just remembered that when Jia Zhu went to study in the academy, Lin Liu once casually sighed that she didn't want to go to school before, but now even if she wanted to go to school, she would have no chance now, so she said casually.
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that this was most likely what Lin Liu wanted to do next.
Lin Liu nodded as expected: "Yes, I couldn't find a teacher at first, and I didn't expect to bring it up so early. But since there is a suitable candidate in front of me, I naturally can't let it go easily."
Jane Hye-jung...
After thinking about it, Lin Liu suddenly thought of someone else: "Does any of you know the queen of the former emperor?"
After the emperor's death, Lin Liu originally thought that the queen would die in love.
After all, after the death of the former emperor, the empress dowager died in love, leaving no chance for others to save others.
But I didn't expect that after the former emperor was killed, the empress still ate and drank surprisingly well, she didn't look sad at all, and occasionally I could hear the empress chatting and laughing with the maids and maids around her.
When Lin Liu heard the news, she couldn't help being silent for a while.
But soon, she thought of the conversation with the queen.
The empress may have had feelings for the former emperor, but after the emperor ascended the throne, the feelings between the two may have faded away.
That's a good candidate for a teacher, too.
Lin Ruhai frowned and thought about it, and said, "It's certainly a very good thing that His Majesty wants to open a women's school. But has your Majesty ever thought that when the women's school is opened, there may not be many people to sign up?"
Ji Song also nodded: "Nowadays, there are only a minority of literate women."
Since there are few people who can read and write, after the women's school is established, naturally there are not many who meet the admission standards.Among the women who meet the standards, those who are married and become parents and do not want to study at all, and those who are strictly controlled at home and do not want them to come out to show their faces...
Thinking about it, I feel that the future of this female student is worrying.
Lin Liu smiled: "I didn't say that, this girls' school is for people who can already read and write? In the previous social environment, women who still had the opportunity to read and write had to be from a good family background or not. It’s just that the family has fallen, or it’s from that kind of place.”
"Even if these people choose to study, most of them will not do it out of their own hearts. They are most likely just forced by their parents to please me, the emperor, by enrolling in school."
After all, thoughts have already been finalized, and they cannot be changed overnight.
Sheng Man and Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Liu suspiciously: "Could it be that the women's school that His Majesty wants to run is just to teach people how to read and write?"
Lin Liu was puzzled: "Why can't it be like a private school outside, starting from the child's enlightenment and continuing to study until he can get a good name?"
Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, then realized: "This is indeed possible."
Because Jian Huizhen was mentioned as a teacher, Jian Huizhen made Sheng Man praise all kinds of talents and theories. He subconsciously thought that this women's school was to teach students to write theories and take the imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, the little unicorn's ambition was more than that.
Before Xue Baochai and the others figured it out, Sheng Man subconsciously looked at Lin Daiyu.
Both are her students, Sheng Man is very aware of the difference between Lin Liu and Daiyu.
When she first taught Lin Liu, she seemed to have her own ideas, and she also had her own unique insights into various affairs and many things she encountered. She was not like a toddler who was still thinking. It is more like an adult who has gone through such a process, has found his own way forward, and has his own persistence.
Such a thought is actually a bit absurd, but when Sheng Man first came into contact with Lin Liu, he really felt this way.
Daiyu, the second daughter of the Lin family, is different. She is undoubtedly smart, and she can even be called a child prodigy.But even Daiyu, when she was a few years old, never had her own thoughts. Facing external things and things, her first reaction was still to contact and imitate others.
And the people who were imitated the most were naturally Jia Min, Sheng Man and Lin Liu who she had the most contact with.
Lin Liu had the greatest influence on Daiyu.
Because whether it is Sheng Man or Jia Min, their words and deeds are very similar, and their thinking is not much different from most people in this world.
Lin Liu is different, even if she only speaks out occasionally, people can clearly perceive that she is different from other people.
Unique is always the easiest to attract children.
So Daiyu will grow into what she is today, and Sheng Man, who has watched her grow up since childhood, is not surprised at all.
Not only Daiyu, but even the boys of the Lin family were influenced by Lin Liu.
Lin Liu obviously knew when to be most easily influenced, so from the very beginning, she set her target on those girls who were not yet enlightened...
Influence the thoughts of those girls from an early age, and sooner or later, these children will have different thoughts from the world today.
Once a child's thinking changes, the world changes too.
Suddenly, Sheng Man was full of pride and ambition, and she really wanted to see it, and even promoted that day with her own hands.
She got up and walked in front of Lin Liu, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that I can resign from my official position and teach those children myself. I hope the emperor will make it happen!"
Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I understand what Mr. is thinking, but it's not possible!"
Sheng Man looked up, a little puzzled: "Since there is no teacher, why..."
Lin Liu said bluntly: "Because I am not only short of teachers, but also lack of officials. The lack of teachers can temporarily delay the process of opening a women's school, but if there is a lack of female officials, it is unknown whether the women's school can be opened."
Lin Ruhai obviously knew those officials very well, and after hearing this, he couldn't help persuading him: "If women can't have the right to speak in the court, even if the emperor is there, even Ji Song and I will support the emperor. Yes, almost all male officials are against it, and this women's school will definitely not open."
"In other words, it cannot be opened in the name of the emperor."
In modern society, many people envy the various treatment of Japanese, Japanese, and full-time housewives, but in fact, all the benefits of Japanese, Japanese, and full-time housewives did not fall out of thin air——
During the period when the legal provisions on women's rights and interests were promulgated, the number of women participating in politics in Japan and Japan reached the highest level in history, and even exceeded half of them.The promulgation of those legal provisions was also promoted by those female politicians, and has never had anything to do with men.
If it is now, do you think those legal provisions will be promulgated?
Once there are only men left in the court, even if a woman is sitting in the highest position, after many years, she will only be left empty.
Lin Liu looked at Sheng Man seriously: "Sir, being an official is far more important and meaningful than being a teacher. If you want to witness that moment with your own eyes, you might as well climb all the way up, the higher you climb The better, so that you have the ability to protect that seed and watch it take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree instead of dying halfway."
Shocked, Sheng Man immediately admitted his mistake: "My minister is confused, please forgive me."
Lin Liu waved her hand to get her up, but didn't say anything else.
Listening to Lin Liu's words, Daiyu and the others realized that being an official through the imperial examination not only changed their own destiny, but might even affect the fate of more people.
Lin Liu was very satisfied with their reactions and did not interrupt them.
Until Xue Baochai, who had been keeping her brows down since entering the door, was silent and said suddenly: "
