The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

Knowing that Prince Yong had feelings for Empress Xiaoyi in his heart, Mammy Wu said another thing, "Do you know why your empress has always disliked Prince Fujin?"

Don't like yourself?Prince Yong Fujin didn't expect to hear about herself. She looked up at Madam Wu. Although Erniang treated her pretty well later, she had suffered a lot before.She asked herself that she had done everything a daughter-in-law should do. Could it be that Er Niang had other reasons for hating her.

"Because Fujin is the person appointed by Empress Xiaoyi." The prince Fujin said that Kangxi personally appointed him, and the prince's mother-in-law couldn't get in the way at all, and Wu Ya thought it was the same.Empress Xiaoyi was deep in her thoughts, but Concubine Tong was a fool. The spies placed by Concubine Tong by Wu Yashi easily got this news out of her mouth.

If it's just that, it's fine, what really makes her angry is

"Her handwriting is among the hardships of the four Fujin's descendants,"

Prince Yong and his wife retreated together, especially Prince Yong, who was so angry that if Foer Guochun didn't stand in front of Nanny Wu, he would have kicked him.

"If the lord doesn't believe it, you can go back and ask the old nanny who is serving you, she must know better than the slaves. There is also Song Gege in your mansion, she is the one who mixed the medicine with Fujin."

Song Gege is the court lady that Empress Xiaoyi found for Prince Yong to teach personnel affairs. She is from the Tong family. Prince Yong will naturally take her with him when he leaves the palace after his wedding.At that time, Empress Xiaoyi passed away, and the concubine Wuya's favor was already in full swing, so Wuya's family naturally defected and began to support their own family.

Don't underestimate the power of coating, through Wu Ya's family, Concubine De has placed many people in Prince Yong's Mansion.Why are Song's two princesses missing?It is her handwriting.

It took Sifujin a long time to recover her voice. She took a careful look at Si elder brother and said in a trembling voice: "Although, even so, it doesn't prove that Erniang's death has something to do with the Tong family."

Wu Momo looked over Fo Er Guochun to look at Si Fujin, and that look frightened her.Nanny Wu lowered her head and said grimly, "Do you think Concubine Tong Taigui really hanged herself?"

Is not it?

that……

A thought climbed into the hearts of everyone.

Nanny Wu nodded, yes, Concubine Tong Taigui was forced to death by the Queen Mother.The empress dowager had a grudge against Tong's family, how could the empress dowager bear such an imperial decree before his death?

"Your Majesty has always had a bad head, and it has become more and more serious these years. She has been holding back from letting her servants speak out, for fear that the emperor and the prince will be sad. The empress said that the Tong family is a threat, whether it is to the emperor or the prince, she is worried that the Tong family will take advantage of it. Xiaoyi asks the prince to do something embarrassing, so it's better to act first."

"The empress said that she can't live for a few years herself, and she has never done anything for the prince since she was a child. She just treats it as the only thing she can do for the prince. The empress hopes that the prince can be free and do what he wants to do, but Not being threatened."

The Tong family doesn't regard Prince Yong as a nephew at all, and they only go to the mansion when they need Prince Yong's help, and they still have an instigating attitude.Now the relationship between the two brothers is very good. She is really worried that the Tong family will ask Prince Yong to do something that is not good for Yinzhen.

Both sons have means, and she doesn't want to see them killing each other.In this case, she simply did nothing but kill Tong's family first.

As for the mistakes she made, "Your Majesty said, you can deal with Tong's family as you please when you get to Yincao Difu."

"What should be said, the slaves have finished talking. If the lord doesn't believe it, you can go to the empress's storeroom to have a look. There are two boxes of children's toys and clothes that the empress made for the lord." Unfortunately, the lord was not able to wear any of them.Others don't know, but Nanny Wu knows best, this matter has always been a regret in the Empress Dowager's heart.

"Empress, there should still be people from the Tong family in the palace, the empress must not be careless." After finishing speaking, Wu Moma slammed her head on the Queen Mother's bedside to death.

"Mammy."

Everyone was immersed in what Wu Nanny said, and didn't notice that Wu Nanny had a death wish.

Seeing her lying in a pool of blood, Foer Guochun was the saddest. The old man was always smiling, and sometimes told her jokes, so he just left.

Yinzhen was also very sad. When he was a child, his mother was very busy. Most of the time, Mammy Wu took him to play. When he was mischievous, Mammy Wu pleaded for mercy.In his heart, Nanny Wu is like another mother-in-law of his, and now there are no two mother-in-laws.

A trace of blood was bitten on the corner of his mouth, Yinzhen looked at Prince Yong, "I'm sorry, fourth brother, I want to thoroughly investigate Tong's family."

Prince Yong was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "I beg the emperor to give me some time, I will come to the Tong family's affairs in person." He gritted his teeth and said word by word,

After listening to Madam Wu's words, he realized that he was responsible for a large part of Er Niang's death. He wanted to know whether what Er Niang said was true, whether Huang and Empress Xiaoyi had really tampered with his heirs, Is the relationship between him and Erniang really as what Nanny Wu said?

He had to figure out one by one.

Yinzhen looked at him, finally nodded, and he said, "fourth brother, no matter what, you are my own brother."

Foer Guochun had already guessed that there were members of the Tong family in the palace, and it would not be a problem to squeeze a few people with the family background of the Tong family.It's just that both the Supreme Emperor and the Empress are still there, and it's true that she is a empress, and she doesn't dare to make a big fuss.

When the Supreme Emperor passed away last year, he only let go of a group of servants from the Qianqing Palace and the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Except for those who were over 25 years old, the servants in the harem remained unchanged.

Now that the queen mother is gone, Yinzhen became ruthless, and Foer Guochun personally inspected palace by palace.Yinzhen had long intended to trim the palace maids and eunuchs, but he was not going to open up the harem, so Foer Guochun just took this opportunity to let go of a large number of palace people.

These are court ladies and eunuchs with clean net worth. The other people's spies, Foer Guochun, have been arrested and handed over to Yinzhen. As for how Yinzhen interrogates and disposes of them, that is his business.

In the end, it was indeed as Nanny Wu said, the Tong family was found out among the Queen Mother's servants. After this incident came out, everyone in the palace was in danger, and everyone looked like a nail for others.

In the end, Concubine Yigui took the lead and begged Foer Guochun to lead people to search all those slaves.

The site of the Compassionate Ning Palace is not small, and it is still a little crowded to accommodate the concubines of the late emperor. After the Empress Dowager's hundred days passed, Yinzhen decreed that the dowager concubines who have sons and their sons are adults can ask for an order to let their sons take them out to live.

As soon as this decree came out, Prince Zhi entered the palace and borrowed Concubine Hui, followed by Concubine Rong.However, in two or three days, nearly twenty concubines left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and among these people were biological mothers and adoptive mothers.For example, brother fifteen, his mother-in-law was always a concubine, and he grew up with other concubines since he was a child. Now, he naturally picks up his biological mother and adoptive mother.

The empress dowager passed away, and Fo Er Guochun became the most powerful woman in the harem. At this time, her methods were also revealed. First, she resolutely adjusted and replaced the stewards of the harem, and then laid off nearly half of the court ladies and eunuchs who were stealing, raping and playing tricks. Half of them made some new rules for them.

The most important thing is that she set up anonymous reporting boxes on the trees at the gates of each palace. If you encounter someone who steals, rapes, cheats, or fills your pockets, you can report anonymously.Because the maids and eunuchs were illiterate, she taught them a few words to facilitate their reporting.

Some people were cleared out of the harem, and the expenditure was reduced by more than half, so she turned her gaze outside again.

At this time, colleges in various counties have been successfully established, and students have been enrolled one after another.Foer Guochun decided to follow Yinzhen's example and set up a women's school. They had discussed this matter a long time ago. At that time, because the emperor and queen mother were both present, Foer Guochun didn't dare to make any noise. Now no one is pressing on them. A measure should also be available.

The idea was Fol Guochun's idea, but Yinzhen was the one who came up with it.

The establishment of a women's school was naturally opposed by the ministers. Since ancient times, "a woman without talent is a virtue", in their view, it is absurd to allow women to study, especially the opposition from the civil servants of the Han army flag is even more fierce.

Yinzhen was not annoyed, he watched them quarreling, and when they got dry, he said slowly: "Master Wang, I remember that you also have a daughter, your daughter can read and write?"

Mr. Wang couldn't speak this sentence, his daughters were of course literate, and there were a few daughters of aristocratic families who were really illiterate, and it wasn't Bao Yiqi.It is said that the coating is also due to the regulations, and these regulations are only for people with lower official positions or those who are determined to enter the palace. The parents' official positions are up to the third rank, and their children can also read.

"Your daughter can read and write, why can't other people's? Could it be that your daughter is more noble than other people's?"

"Li Aiqing, let me ask you, is your wife literate?"

"Going back to the emperor, I can't read." This official surnamed Li was promoted through the imperial examination in the past few years, and now works in the Imperial Academy.His family was originally a poor family, let alone his wife, even his father, mother and father were illiterate.

Yinzhen nodded and continued to ask: "Then I'll ask you again, did your wives laugh at Mrs. Li's illiteracy during the party? Have you ever laughed at his old mother behind his back?"

"You guys, Mr. Li was born in poverty. His parents didn't want to read? Wrong, they didn't have a chance. Mr. Li was able to pass the imperial examination to stand here because of the hard work of his whole family. But how many Mr. Li are there in this world? Most of them are people who cannot study because of poverty.”

"I opened schools for the common people free of charge in order to select good talents for the Qing Dynasty. The same is true for the establishment of women's schools. They don't need to study the Four Books and Five Classics like men. What they need to learn is the ability to survive."

"The life of the people is difficult, and it is far from enough to rely on men to support the family. If the women can learn more skills, the family will naturally be better off. If Mr. Li's mother and wife can embroider or eat, and know some basic characters, will you still laugh at it? they?"

Yinzhen's words brought tears to the eyes of Mr. Li and other ministers from poor backgrounds. Yes, because their wives were illiterate, they were ridiculed even with their daughters.Make them unable to hold their heads up.

It's not that they haven't thought about finding a teacher for their wives and daughters to learn female reds and rules, but they are born poor and have no money.

The emperor has seen their suffering, and wants to solve this problem fundamentally.

"Your majesty is wise." Lord Li could kneel on the ground and shouted loudly.

Therefore, after boys’ schools, counties began to build women’s schools again. Considering the status of women, most of the work in the countryside has to be done by daughters, even if it is free, some people will not send their daughters. Another stipulation was added: Not only is it free for girls over the age of eight to go to school, but their families can also get one tael of silver every year.

One tael is a lot of money, and a family of four can spend no more than two taels a year, not to mention children, adults can only earn one or two taels of silver a year.This tael of silver is a temptation for the poor.

After that, they will find that their daughter can read, understand the rules and skills, and they will marry a good family in the future.At that time, they don't need to say much, and there will be scrambling to send the children to school.

The status of women cannot be changed overnight. What Foer Guochun can do now is to let them know a few words, learn some rules about female celebrities, etc. No matter how much they have, I am afraid that Yinzhen will really be unable to hold back.

Yinzhen is different from her after all, she can't do it now if she wants women to be treated the same as men.

Fortunately, since she was a child, she has set up the idea of ​​not underestimating women for her son. Maybe when her son succeeds to the throne, the status of women will be greatly improved.

The women's college in the county town mainly teaches rules and etiquette, "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" enlightenment, female red housekeeper and cooking skills.These are the most suitable for women who are born in the common people.

And the teachers who teach them are all capable, either maids released from the palace, or masters of embroidery and cooking.

In addition to these women's colleges in the county, Foer Guochun also asked people to open a higher-level school in Fucheng. This school taught some things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate sentiment.This is not free, but the fee is very expensive. According to the modern year divided into two semesters, one semester costs 20 taels of silver, and one year is 40 taels.

Of course, there is no shortage of money for women to learn these things, and most of them are the daughters of wealthy merchants and landlords.They let their daughter learn this as a facade, and they still want their daughter to cling to a good family.

There is nothing Foer Guochun can do about this situation. What she can do is to ask people to teach more useful things. At least in the future, they will not be able to live in their husband's house, and they will be able to support themselves when they leave.

The announcement of the establishment of a women's college was posted, and it was rebutted by scholars. These men looked down on women from the bottom of their hearts.

Foer Guochun looked coldly at the group of men who wanted to make trouble, a stern look flashed in her eyes, then she picked up the whip and whipped it at the loudest men.

"What's wrong with women? Could it be that you were not born and raised by a woman? Your mother, wife and daughter are not women. You look down on women so much, that is to say, you look down on the mother who gave birth to you, and the wife who took care of your family? Just like you Even your biological mother looks down on you, so ungrateful, I would like to ask you what sage book you read? Even if you are well educated, how can you guarantee that you will be able to contribute to the country if you are named on the gold list in the future?"

"In my opinion, even if someone like you is promising, you're still a white-eyed wolf. It's better to get out of the academy. It just happens to save your despised old mother and wife from suffering." She looked up and down the clean and new man. She said with a sneer, "Your clothes are clean and tidy. You can see that you have given up a lot of thought on your mother and wife, right? It's just the beginning of autumn. I don't know if they have made a new set of clothes for themselves?"

Everyone was speechless after what Foer Guochun said, but the leader still wanted to make trouble, but looking at Foer Guochun's clothes, he knew that this person was either rich or noble, so he didn't dare to speak at the moment.
