[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Unsurprisingly, the issue of allowing women to set up their own family was opposed by many people. In particular, it was mentioned that allowing widows to set up their own family and then have a separate family, not subject to the jurisdiction of the husband's family, caused a great uproar.

But there are not many reasons to oppose it.

Except for one ancestor's etiquette and non-compliance with the rules, there are only widows left. If they can establish their own family, I am afraid that there will be no widows remarrying in the future. This is not a good-sounding reason for the growth of the population.

Lin Liu laughed at that time: "Ancestral etiquette? If I remember correctly, there was a tradition of setting up female households in the pre-Qin period? If it is said that it violated the ancestors' etiquette, it was also done by the emperors of the previous dynasties. What does it have to do with me? ?”

"As for hindering population growth?" The smile on Lin Liu's face grew wider. "Before you say this, can you think about how many widows remarried before I abolished the chastity archway? You just talk about it. Are there more widows, or more remarries?"

The hall was silent.

But it is obviously impossible for them to agree on this.

It's a pity that Lin Liu was not alone. After understanding her appeal, Lin Ruhai, Sheng Man and other female officials who had successfully climbed to higher positions all stood up.

Although there are more female officials than before, they are still a minority compared to others.

But who knows, many people are very interested in the latter idea proposed by Lin Liu, and are worried that if they deny the former one, they will cause the second proposal to abort along with them?

Allowing women to have the right to inherit family property is simply an irresistible temptation for many people.

Although the ancient times paid attention to many children and many blessings, the premature death rate of children is also quite alarming.

Due to reasons such as diet and living habits, in fact, many people do not have many children at home.

For example, if there is no such variable as Lin Liu, the Lin family will end up with a single seedling of Daiyu, and Zhen Shiyin will only have a daughter of Yinglian.

Even the Jia family with many descendants seems to have a large family, but in fact there are not many children in the family.Jia Amnesty had only three children, Jia Lian, Yingchun and Jia Cong, all from different mothers; Jia Zheng had a little more children, but in the end there were only Baoyu Tanchun and Jia Huan left, and at most one grandson, Jia Lan.

But daughters have no inheritance rights. Once their parents die, some of them will be handed over to the clan, and some will be handed over to the court.

Not only families with only daughters are interested in this proposal, but even those with only one seedling cannot refuse it.

If it is possible, who doesn't want the family business they have saved to be passed on to their children?

Therefore, the louder those who oppose the establishment of female households, the more they find that there are fewer and fewer supporters around them.

So their voices became smaller and smaller, and slowly, they could only die down.

But Lin Liu wanted to promulgate an imperial decree directly, it was obviously not that easy.

After a long period of tug-of-war, officials from the DPRK and China dismantled and discussed Lin Liu's two proposals, and finally finalized the two proposals.

Now that the final result has been finalized, Lin Liu directly regards it as a decree, records it in the mansion newspaper and announces it to the whole country. At the same time, he amends the law and writes these two items into the law, so that people can no longer deny it.

Worried that after the promulgation of these two laws, many people would oppose them, the two brothers Lu Sui and He Nian cooperated again and released a series of news and scripts related to these two laws. , successfully suppressed the objections.

Several times in succession, Lin Shen saw that the deer responded positively to the laws promulgated by the court in a timely manner. Naturally, some readers of the newspaper discovered the news that the newspaper and the court complement each other.

Although the identity of Boss Lu Sui was not publicized, he never concealed it.

These readers who guessed that the newspaper was connected with the imperial court casually checked and found out the news about the boss of Lu Sui Shi Bookstore.

Now, the news that Shusi is working for the imperial court can no longer be concealed.

The literati are noble, and many people sneered at Lu Sui's behavior, thinking that he used the newspaper as a tool to speak out for the court and do things for the court. The newspaper has become impure and unclean.

Lu Sui: "..." You are not clean anymore!

This group of people is arrogant and arrogant, hoping to have their own piece of pure land.Seeing that the deer couldn't do it, Lin Shen naturally wanted to find another place.

Where did such a place come from?

Build one yourself of course!

There are many young masters and masters from rich families among this group of people, so the money for running the newspaper can still be used.

Although there is no way to expand their business because they do not have mature movable type printing technology, their original intention is to enclose the land for themselves, and no one cares about business.

This group of people worked together and were not short of money. In the end, the newspaper really persisted until the end, and it didn't go bankrupt halfway. It also accumulated a small group of loyalists.

But such people are in the minority.

After hearing the news, most people were not only not angry, but relieved——

This newspaper is really arrogant. It not only discusses the state affairs indiscriminately, but also often mirrors the state affairs through literary works such as scriptures, poems, poems, prose, etc. Anyone with a little intelligence knows how dangerous such behavior is.

Now that he knows that the boss behind the scenes is Lu Sui, he is the younger brother of the current emperor. All the things he does through the newspaper are likely to be ordered by the emperor. The emperor himself may even read the newspaper often, and he is not disgusted with the content of the newspaper...

Worry?nonexistent!

Some literati who wanted to have a dialogue with the ruling class and express their opinions to the emperor found fun because of this, and their interest in writing poems and essays rose sharply, and the submissions received by the bookstore were like snowflakes, almost to the point of Every corner of the bookstore is crowded.

After all, not everyone can become an official through the imperial examination, and even if they do, not everyone will have the opportunity to meet the emperor and participate in governance policies that have an impact on the entire country.

But "regulating the family and governing the country and the world" is the ultimate ideal of every scholar.

Therefore, after learning that the person standing behind this newspaper is the current emperor, and many of the articles and actions were ordered by the emperor, and the emperor probably paid attention to the content of each newspaper, many readers became more enthusiastic about this newspaper than ever before.

My articles and remarks will be seen by the emperor, and most likely adopted by the emperor...

How many scholars can stand such a temptation?

Even if they don't talk about ideals, ordinary people just think that if their articles are favored by the emperor, won't they be promoted?

Because of this trend of contributing articles, Lin Liu's reputation among the people has never been higher.

At the same time, everyone paid more attention to the policies and decrees promulgated by Lin Liu than before.Many people also tried to contribute articles to the newspapers to express relevant remarks, but because the newspapers have special review and review, naturally there are more praises and less criticisms——

Readers who are a little more sensitive have already learned to get a glimpse of the court's attitude from the content and quantity of relevant articles published in newspapers.

Although this kind of criticism is rare, the content that does exist itself represents a signal from the imperial court.

The newspapers were full of disturbances, but because the situation was still under control, Lin Liu didn't pay too much attention.

She is more concerned about the return of Ji Song, Mao Shou, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Yes, the three of them had finished building the cement workshop outside, and they had already sent a message two months in advance, saying that they had already left for Beijing.

Calculate the time, that is, come back recently.

Apart from this matter, what Lin Liu is most concerned about is the batch of real scientists Jia Qiang brought back from overseas, their inventions and creations, and...

steam engine.

When Lin Liu first met the steam engine, he still tried to disassemble it by himself, or improve it by himself, and then use it in his life and work.

But today's steam engine is too simple, and it is completely different from what Lin Liu knows, and it is impossible for Lin Liu to memorize the internal structure of the entire steam engine, and the final result is that she can only watch The gigantic steam engine stares.

Compared with Lin Liu, who had no choice but to wait for Maoshou to come back to see if he could bring improvements to the steam engine, Lin Liu had a very harmonious relationship with those scientists, mathematicians, and inventors.

After all, I have lived in modern times, so there must be no problem with language.

And a person who has lived in modern times for decades can put forward advanced and appropriate opinions on modern mathematics and science that are still in their infancy, and even the inventions of inventors, which often makes these people enlightened.

As a result, Lin Liu was quickly introduced as a confidant by this group of people. If he found anything or encountered any difficulties, he would be happy to tell Lin Liu.

Lin Liu did not disappoint their trust either. According to what he said before, as long as they discover something, they are willing to pay a bounty or other property in order to obtain the corresponding knowledge.

For example, a house.

A house that is completely their own will give people a sense of belonging unconsciously.

When a small number of those people really relied on their own inventions and successfully obtained a real estate instead of being persecuted by religion and authorities, the enthusiasm of these people to research and invent was unprecedentedly high.

Although research and invention are their ideals and preferences, and they are also the career they are prepared to dedicate their lives to, but if ideals and careers can make them live better instead of living in poverty or even being persecuted by others, who would be unhappy?

But not without other troubles—

Among them, the physicist thought of his wife and children who were far away in the old country after acquiring a property, and hoped that Lin Liu could be invited back to pick him up.

Lin Liu actually disliked the behavior of abandoning his wife and children, but the situation of this physicist was different: in his original country, he was almost hanged because his discoveries about the sun were regarded as heresy .

His wife and children had been sent away before then and went into hiding.

When he was taken away by Jia Qiang, although Jia Qiang said a lot of good things and offered a very generous treatment, but he didn't see these things with his own eyes, so who can really believe that there is nothing in the sky?

So he didn't dare to mention his wife and children until the situation stabilized.

But since in a foreign country, he really obtained the real estate by his own ability, and seeing Lin Liu's attitude towards them, he really respected them, so he could no longer restrain himself from missing his relatives.

Lin Liu thought about it, and asked someone to count how many of these people were married, and how many of them wanted to take their wives and children to Huaxia.

Then, Lin Liu received a list of several pages.

She expected that people from those European countries would not let people go so easily, so she asked someone to find Lu Sui, and asked the household department to purchase another batch of expensive silk fabrics made by Lin Shenjianlu.

Hubu Shangshu was very puzzled.

He didn't understand why Lin Liu valued these foreigners so much that he was willing to spend so much money from the treasury to bring their relatives back.

Hubu Shangshu wanted to refuse, but Lin Liu's attitude was firm, he had to act according to Lin Liu's wishes, and took the money to Lin Shenjianlu to buy a whole boatload of silk fabrics.

The only thing that comforted Shangshu Hubu was that the silk fabrics that the imperial court got from Lin Shen Jianlu were paid at cost price.

When you buy something, you will naturally give it away.

According to Lin Liu, since these people were brought back by Jia Qiang, the most suitable person to pick them up this time is naturally Jia Qiang.

But when Lin Liu asked Lu Sui about Jia Qiang, Lu Sui shook his head with some pity: "Jia Qiang is really capable, and the frequency of taking the lead to go to sea is less frequent than others, but this person doesn't seem to want to. After living for a while, every time I go to sea and come back, I will go to sea again within a few days, and there is basically no time to stop."

"Let's think about it," Lu Sui frowned and recalled for a moment, and said, "It's only half a month since Jia Qiang went to sea last time, and he should not come back for at least half a year. If my sister is in a hurry to bring her back, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Jia Qiang. Rose."

Lin Liu was taken aback, didn't want to live anymore?

But after thinking about it, although Jia Zhenjiarong and his son are not good people, they are really good to Jia Qiang. They should be the only relatives to Jia Qiang, right?

But these two people were exiled by the army, or they were exiled to that kind of bitter cold place, and now they are probably already dead.

His relatives are gone, his former friends are just wine and meat friends, and his only lover has passed away due to illness...

Looking at it this way, Jia Qiang really doesn't want to live now.

Lin Liu sighed: "In this case, you should find another reliable person to bring them back. This is the list, as well as their own autographed letters and tokens. Bring them back if you can. If some of them don't want to Come back, don't force yourself."

After all, not everyone has the courage to leave their hometown and live in a country that is completely unfamiliar to them.

Lu Sui nodded, taking seriously what Lin Liu handed over.

The ships going out to sea will leave soon, and all that needs to be done is to wait.

It was at this time that Ji Song, Mao Shou and others returned to Beijing.

The first thing after returning to Beijing, of course, is to meet the emperor.After the three of them freshened up at the inn, they changed into court clothes and entered the palace to face the saint.

Lin Liu asked about the distribution and construction of cement workshops across the country, gave a few words of encouragement, and gave the three of them some rewards before letting the Minister of Industry retire.

Maoshou was very happy to see Lin Liu, chattering about what he had seen and heard along the way, the knowledge he had learned from some old craftsmen, as well as some structures inside the cement workshop that he thought were exquisite, and those he had made. The makeover said it all.

When mentioning the things he was interested in, Maoshou was very excited, and he talked about the sky and the earth with a sigh of relief.

Lin Liu listened with great interest, but Ji Song next to him was a little unhappy.

He endured and endured, and finally when Maoshou kept talking about the topic from cement workshops to folk gadgets, and then from folk gadgets to the practicality of machinery in life, and was about to keep talking, he finally couldn't help coughing several times.

Maoshou shut up and looked at Ji Song worriedly: "Brother-in-law, are you feeling unwell? But there was too much wind on the road, and you got a cold? Do you want the imperial doctor to come over?"

Ji Song smiled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that it's getting late, if you don't go home, Uncle Lin and others may be worried."

Maoshou looked up at the sky subconsciously, and found that the sun had already set, and there was only a ray of afterglow in the sky, and the whole sky would be plunged into darkness before long.

He couldn't help but exclaimed, and hurriedly said to Lin Liu: "Sister, it's getting dark, brother is going home first, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Lin Liu gave Ji Song an angry look, then turned to look at Maoshou and said, "Tomorrow, you will rest at home for a day and enter the palace the day after tomorrow. I have someone who wants to introduce you to them. They are all foreigners from overseas. You will know a lot of knowledge that you don’t know, and there are some who also like to invent some small things, and you can definitely have a good chat with them.”

Maoshou paused and became interested: "Sister, why don't you call someone to meet me now?"

Lin Liu raised her finger to the sky: "Are you sure you want to see me now?"

Maoshou came back to his senses, bid farewell and left in a hurry.

After the people left, Lin Liu looked at Ji Song with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, but you have become a lot narrower, and you know that Maoshou will be dismissed. Tell me, what do you want to dismiss people? "

Ji Song looked at Lin Liu: "Why do you think I let Maoshou go?"

Lin Liu laughed, raised her finger and pointed at the darkened sky outside the palace door, "General Ji, the night is dark and the road is slippery, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave later. "

Ji Song was stunned for a moment: "Just leave if you can't make it."

Lin Liu smiled: "Aren't you afraid of being found out, gossiping?"

"What can I say? Is there anyone in the whole country who doesn't know my relationship with His Majesty?"

The two sat together and talked for a long time about their respective experiences in the past two years.

They were a little unfamiliar at first, but as they talked, the two of them returned to their former acquaintance again. Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the atmosphere between the two even brought a bit of sticky sweetness.

Lin Liu simply leaned on Ji Song's shoulder, looked at the empty and gray sky outside the palace gate, and thought of Jia Qiang for some reason.

She whispered about the love between Jia Qiang and senior officials, and she couldn't help sighing: "Sometimes it's a pity for the two of them, but they can't stay together when they love each other; but sometimes I feel that this may not be the best result. ...Given the huge disparity in status between Jia Qiang and Lingguan, even if Lingguan stays in Ningguo Mansion, I'm afraid it won't have a happy ending, so it's better to leave cleanly."

Even if the Ningguo Mansion fell, Jia Qiang might not be willing to marry an actor as his official wife.

Ling Guan should have seen it through, so he seized the opportunity to leave Jia Qiang.

But occasionally, Lin Liu was quite envious of these two people: "At least they spent time together seriously when they could be together, and didn't waste the time they had each other."

Ji Song hesitated, took Lin Liu's hand carefully, and asked suddenly: "My lord, when will you marry Weichen?"

Lin Liu froze for a moment, turned her head and was about to speak, when she suddenly felt heat coming from her cheeks: "Your Majesty, you lament that they have never wasted their time together, isn't it because we have been wasting it all the time? If you don't decide on the next one today On the exact date, Weichen won't leave at night."

During the two years abroad, although they never stopped writing letters, but they couldn't meet each other, Ji Song's yearning for Lin Liu naturally increased day by day.

Now that he heard about Jia Qiang's relationship with Ling Guan, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked, so he mustered up the courage to mention their marriage.

It's been several years since the two got engaged in their teens.

Lin Liu glanced back at him, easily capturing the tension in his eyes.

Thinking that the marriage between the two had been delayed for many years, she felt a little sorry, and hugged Ji Song's waist directly: "I'm sorry!"

Ji Song was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but blush in the next moment.

He coughed a few times and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of affairs every day, and spends so much time worrying about important affairs of the court, what are you sorry for?" After finishing speaking, Ji Song couldn't help muttering, "However, our marriage really dragged on for too long gone."

Lin Liu smiled, pushed him onto the back of the chair, and then, under Ji Song's astonished gaze, kissed him directly: "Before you get married, I will give you some interest..."

……

When Ji Song left the palace, his face was flushed and his eyes wandered, as if he had been raped.

If it wasn't already getting late, if the guards saw his appearance like this, Ji Song's general majesty would be swept away.

But Ji Song himself was very happy.

In fact, there is no need for Ji Song to urge the marriage by himself. At Lin Liu's current age, there will occasionally be small-scale voices urging the marriage in the court.

It's just because Lin Liu is already engaged to Ji Song, and it can be seen from the various previous actions that she doesn't want the woman to marry prematurely, so there has been no large-scale urging voice in the court.

But as she gets older, civil and military officials are afraid that not only will they urge her to marry, but they will also start to urge her heir.

In fact, even Lin Ruhai occasionally mentioned Lin Liu's marriage.

According to this situation, it should be easy for Lin Liu to get married?

But this is not the case. Lin Liu, as a female emperor, got married on the throne for the first time——

When Emperor Wu came to the throne, half of his body had already been buried in the ground. He had two husbands before, and they were both emperors. There was no such thing as marriage at all.

There are no old rules to follow, all civil and military officials, especially the officials from the Ministry of Rituals, began to argue about every detail of the wedding, as if they wanted to make it a model of a perfect wedding, which can be copied directly in the future.

After Lin Liu brought up the matter of marriage in the court, the civil and military officials immediately quarreled.

She sat on the dragon chair and listened, her head was blown up by these people.

Lin Liu wanted to say keep things simple, but she was worried that Ji Song would misunderstand, and seeing the expression on the Minister of Rites's face, "The old minister finally has a place to use his skills, he must do a big job", she paused, but she didn't say anything. Spoiler.

But according to the enthusiasm of the Minister of Rites, if the two want to get married, it may take another two or three years.

Ji Song looked at Lin Liu with a strong smile, almost speechless.

Lin Liu felt distressed and amused watching it, and after the court was over, she directly stayed behind.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai was left behind.

To be honest, even Lin Ruhai, who has always been reluctant to marry his daughter and wished to leave his two daughters to the end of time, felt sorry for Ji Song after the quarrel in the court.

But what can be done?Things are already like this, and we can only accept it.

Lin Ruhai said a lot of comforting words, but Ji Song's good mood last night has disappeared, and now he is depressed, and he can't think of anything happy.

Lin Liu was helpless, and suddenly mentioned something: "Otherwise, we'll go get the certificate first."

Certificate?

Seeing Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looking at her, Lin Liu explained with a smile: "It is proof, the marriage certificate, we go directly to Jingzhao Mansion Yin to register their relationship."

Nowadays, everyone still holds a wedding, and then goes to the Guanguan Yamen to register information and transfer their household registration.After all, Lin Liu has lived in the modern age for so many years, and the wedding is far less important than a marriage letter.

Reporting the relationship between the two of them to the government, they are already considered husband and wife to Lin Liu.

As for the wedding?At that time, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites can do it for as long as he wants, and she doesn't bother to pay attention.

I thought it was a good proposal, but Lin Ruhai glared at her: "You think the wedding takes too long, and I understand that you want to settle down with Ji Song. If ordinary people do this, there is no problem. But you It’s not that I forgot, you are the emperor now, how could your household registration government have one?”

In the feudal dynasty, the whole world belonged to the emperor.

Since they all belong to the emperor, how could there be such a thing as the government's jurisdiction over the emperor?

Lin Liu: "..."

There is no way.

She looked at Ji Song with apologetic eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Song smiled at Lin Liu instead.

But the marriage between the two can only be put on hold for a while.

But after the last time, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds.Lin Liuben is not a person who cares much about red tape and rules, so when Ji Song and herself are both free, she will directly invite him to the palace, enjoy flowers and chat, drink tea and drink together.

After a long time, there will always be times when rubbing or guns go off.

With the first time, there will naturally be a second and third time.

Lin Liu herself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Ji Song felt shy and nervous every time, which made her angry and funny--

Obviously the relationship between the two is legitimate, but every time Ji Song's performance makes her feel like she is cheating, having a tryst with someone other than Ji Song.

But let alone, seeing too much of his performance, Lin Liu himself felt a little nervous and exciting.

Although there were some rumors, fewer and fewer people dared to comment on Lin Liu's behavior, and Ji Song held real power, so those trivial rumors would naturally not have any impact on the two of them.

Three months after Ji Song returned to the capital, he also resumed his previous busyness. Both of them were busy, and the time spent together became less and less, and sometimes it was rare to meet twice a month.

There are fewer meetings, and every opportunity to meet is extremely precious.

The number of times Ji Song stayed in the palace naturally became more and more.

Slowly, Ji Song left more and more personal items in the palace, from food and clothing to clothing, there is nothing missing.

Seeing this, Lin Liu simply suggested: "Otherwise, you can directly move to the palace."

Ji Song was a little hesitant at first, but after all the idea of ​​wanting to be with Lin Liu gained the upper hand, and he finally nodded in agreement.

So one day, the people in the capital saw that Ji Song emptied the general's mansion and sent everything into the palace.

The two were sneaky before, and everyone just turned a blind eye. Now that they are living together openly and aboveboard before they are married, how can all civil and military officials pretend to be blind?

But it is definitely not acceptable to question Lin Liu directly.

So the wise man thought of Lin Ruhai——

Your own daughter was raped by a pig and took advantage of it. Aren't you angry as a father?

Is Lin Ruhai angry?

Of course he was angry at first. He was an ancient scholar-bureaucrat who was brought up by authentic Confucianism, so it was impossible for him to accept the "immoral" behavior of living together before marriage from the very beginning.

Not only did they live together before marriage, but even the rumors about Lin Liu and Ji Song made the old father's forehead bulge with veins, and he wished he could rush into Ji's house and beat him up.

But after thinking about it, with Lin Liu's temperament and her current status, if she didn't take the initiative, Ren Ji Song might not have the guts to attack her.

So he went directly to the palace to find Lin Liu.

Of course, Lin Liu would not talk about those advanced ideas with Lin Ruhai, after all, it would be useless to talk about it, and it might anger Lin Ruhai instead.

She knew very well why Lin Ruhai cared so much about this——

It's nothing more than thinking that girls are at a disadvantage, they will be talked about, and they may be let down in the future.

In the end, I was still worried that Lin Liu would be hurt.

Lin Liu didn't reason with Lin Ruhai, but got straight to the point: "Father thinks, do I have the temperament to let myself suffer? Even if we had a relationship, would Ji Song dare to forgive me? As an emperor, someone dares to point out to me order?"

Even if you have an opinion, you can only whisper it to yourself in private.

She didn't have any concerns that others had.In this case, why should she shrink back when she does things?

Lin Ruhai was only worried about Lin Liu at first, but after hearing Lin Liu's words, he started to worry about Ji Song instead.

Ji Song: "..."

Lin Liu guessed that what he did would definitely attract a lot of criticism. Perhaps many officials would come to Lin Ruhai, so he said directly: "If someone is looking for your father, you can just urge them to get the wedding process out as soon as possible. No, it’s better to make it simple.”

Lin Ruhai: "..."

He was dumb for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "But if you do this, if you become pregnant with a child, wouldn't this child become..."

Lin Liu comforted her with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I will never get pregnant before I get married."

Although she doesn't use the ability much anymore, but the ability will not disappear out of thin air, she can naturally use the ability to prevent pregnancy.

There is nothing wrong with premarital sex and behavior, but not being able to protect yourself is a big problem.

Hearing what Lin Liu said, Lin Ruhai was completely relieved.

Because of his approval in advance, when other officials approached, Lin Ruhai said directly: "The emperor doesn't want to do this, and you don't even think about how old the emperor is now. We have been engaged for so many years, and the wedding has not yet been held. If you have time to talk about the emperor, why don't you go and urge the Minister of Rites to hurry up? How long has it been, and the wedding time hasn't been set yet."

Others felt a headache when they thought of the old man who was old-fashioned and stubborn, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who only wanted to hold a grand and special wedding.

Someone didn't believe in evil, and really went to the Minister of Rites, and was sprayed back by him directly.

Since then, no one dared to look for him again.

Of course, there are also some people who fancy the excellent eloquence of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and want to borrow a knife to kill someone, so that Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites can scold the emperor.

Then, he was pushed back by the little old man again: "Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher, the emperor's ninety-five-year-old lord, whatever he wants to do, don't bother me."

He was too busy with wedding arrangements to take care of these little things.

Some people wondered why the old-fashioned Minister of Rites was so tolerant of the emperor's outrageous behavior. Later, Mrs. Shangshu, who knew the Minister of Rites deeply, gave the answer at a banquet——

"The old man in my family is really old-fashioned and stubborn. If the emperor really did something harmful to his family, country and the world, he would scold the emperor mercilessly. But this is just the emperor's private business. How can you be a courtier?" Gossiping about the emperor's private affairs all day long?"

"My old man said that those who want to use him as a shield should rest, he is not interested in the emperor's private affairs. To put it bluntly, those who think that the emperor's actions are inappropriate have not yet used the emperor as a nine The Fifth Lord treats her as if the emperor is a woman."

"If the person sitting on the dragon chair is a man, do you think these ministers still dance?"

Not to mention, there were so many women in the empress palace in the previous dynasty, and they did more outrageous things than Lin Liuke. Do you think those ministers dare to speak about each other's private affairs?

Although Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is old-fashioned and patriarchal, in his heart, the status of emperor is above all else, and the difference between men and women is naturally not included.

Is there any problem with other emperors doing this?no problem!

Minister of Rites: So what's wrong with the emperor doing this?Isn't she the emperor?

Human thinking is so simple and rude.

After the news spread, the officials who wanted to write a letter to remonstrate, who were still a little ready to move, died down instantly.After all, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has already talked about this point. If other people continue to hold on to this issue, they will inevitably let their political opponents grab the braid and say that he despises Huangwei.

This is a great sin.

So it didn't cause much trouble.

The common people are quite interested in royal gossip, but they are also more likely to empathize, as long as they think that Lin Liu and Ji Song are unmarried couples, and they were engaged in the previous dynasty, but they have delayed their marriage for so many years...

Anyway, there are always more people who feel distressed and sympathetic than those who spurn this kind of behavior.

Of course, after the news spread, what effect did it have on the hearts of many women? It’s not humane. Anyway, it works. Many girls don’t say that they live together with their fiancés as boldly as Lin Liu, but go shopping and meet unmarried people. Things have become more frequent.

The restrictions on women in the whole country have gradually become much looser.

After all, they have such an emperor.

These news are very good changes for Lin Liu. She is very happy that she can bring about such a change. Afterwards, her date with Ji Song will be more open and aboveboard. He directly took Ji Song out to press the road, and "have fun with the people" with the common people.

Lin Liu and Ji Song's faces were full of red during this time, and anyone could tell that they were in a good mood.

And Maoshou, who returned to the capital with Ji Song, also spent this period of time happily, staying in the Ministry of Industry all day long, and was completely reluctant to leave the palace until it was dark and curfew.

Because the scientists that Jia Qiang brought back from overseas were directly arranged by Lin Liu into the Ministry of Industry.

As Lin Liu expected before, after Maoshou met these scientists, except for the initial language communication problems, he was like a kitten seeing a small fish, and got along very happily with those foreigners.

Those foreigners also like Maoshou very much——
