[Zhong Qiongyao] Diaosi counterattacks the queen

.Therefore, in order to satisfy men's preferences, women compete to imitate, all of them are graceful postures.

"Your Majesty, please punish the Minister of Rites severely to strengthen the court!" The minister's righteous words finally brought Li Ming back to his senses.

At this time, Li Ming had already made up his mind, and he only heard him say: "Manchao civil and military, is his vision so small? I am really disappointed!" Li Ming lowered his head sadly at the right time, so that others could not see his expression.

All the ministers immediately knelt down and said: "The ministers are in panic, please forgive me!" Although the emperor didn't know why the emperor was angry, looking at people's faces is the basic essentials of being an official.

"The dispute between wives and concubines is just a trivial matter; it is indecent to hug them when you go out. But the most unforgivable thing is that a dignified official actually accepted a woman with bound feet. How decent is this! In my opinion, footbinding is not advisable!"

It turned out that the emperor was referring to this incident, and someone jumped out to argue: "Reporting to the emperor, foot-binding has a long history, and I believe that the ban on foot-binding should not be advocated."

It's high-sounding, but secretly, it's not that men want to satisfy their own selfish desires, so how can they take women's thoughts into consideration?You know, how much pain it takes to bind your feet, it deforms a pair of feet!

"The ministers seconded the proposal! Foot binding has been passed down from the ancestors, and it is completely in line with the "three obediences and four virtues" etiquette. It must not be banned, Your Majesty!" Excited, several ministers seconded the proposal.

absurd!The so-called conformity to etiquette is nothing more than the pathological aesthetics of high-ranking officials and nobles. They treat women like playthings, and because they have a habit of admiring small feet, they want women to suffer great pain, which is really ridiculous!

To deal with these stubborn people, Li Ming knew that he couldn't speak out, so he had to persuade them, otherwise, orders from above would not work, and no matter how good the policy was, it would be useless!

"Since some people think that footbinding is an ancestor's rule, then I have to ask which ancestor's rule it is. If you can tell the reason, then I will ignore it, otherwise, hum!"

Li Ming calmed down and waved. The little eunuch immediately brought a cup of tea, which Li Ming could moisten his throat. The rules, on the contrary, made a decree to prohibit Han women from binding their feet, but now it is good, our Manchu women have also begun to imitate the Han people, I would like to ask, what kind of heart are you hiding? It is clear that you are ignoring the will of your ancestors! "

"The minister is guilty! The minister is guilty!" Disregarding the rules of the ancestors, this is a serious crime, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty knelt down here, kowtowing for forgiveness.

In order to let these old stubborn people fully understand the dangers of foot-binding, Li Ming made persistent efforts and continued: "The woman's delicate and lonely appearance is indeed pitiful, but ministers, don't forget that the Qing Dynasty will come soon! If the Manchu women are all It is swaying with the wind, how can we raise sons and daughters who are brave, brave, and high-spirited! If the descendants are all weak, how can the Qing Dynasty talk about the future!"

Unexpectedly, the small foot-binding incident turned into the future of the Qing Dynasty. Although some people thought it was alarmist, no one dared to refute it.The crime of punishing one's heart or foot-binding, which is more important, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had their own calculations in their minds.

The turmoil in the court gradually spread to the folk, each with its own scenery.

scene one:

"Your Majesty is wise, how can our Manchu aunts be compared with weak and weak Han women? Fortunately, there is no foot binding, otherwise, the Emperor would not reuse us." Noble A said.

"What's going on? I just came back, what happened?" Noble B asked.

Noble A replied: "You don't know yet, the emperor has issued a decree, in order to prevent foot binding from harming the next generation of our Manchus, foot binding has been banned, and those who violate the order, the nine clans are not allowed to be officials, nor can they marry the royal family and nobles! "

"What, if you are so strict, and you still have to question the nine clans, then you will become Bai Ding." Noble B was surprised.

What men care about is family prestige, their own official position, and the continuation of their descendants.As for women, it's just a matter of men.

Scene two:

"Sister, what are you doing? How did my sister offend you?" The weak woman asked, pear blossoms raining on her face, which made people feel pity.

"Put away your tricks, it's useless now! The emperor has decreed that anyone from the nine clans who have their feet bound in the family cannot be an official, nor can they marry the royal family and nobles. Because of this, the second lady you gave birth to has been divorced Already!" The main room was fed up with the concubine's flamboyance in the past, and today she finally felt proud.

"No, I don't believe it! I want to find the master, the master will not abandon me!" The concubine did not believe it, and struggled to run out.

"So what if you go, the master himself can't protect himself, because of you, he has been dismissed by the emperor!"

Scene three:

"Mom, why is it so late today, and there are no customers? Could it be that there is a new brothel recently opened?" the popular head card asked anxiously.

"It's not the ghost of the higher-ups!" The old bustard of the brothel looked left and right, and sighed.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"The emperor issued an order to forbid foot binding, no, who would dare to come here!" the old bustard replied.

"Foot binding? Is there anyone here who doesn't have feet bound? Now, I'm going to drink the northwest wind!"

Scene four:

"Your majesty is so wise! I just said that the harem is a world of foxes. Now, this day has changed! Sister Ling, don't you think so?" Lan Guiren (hadn't appeared for a long time) specially ran to Yan Jubilee Palace told the other party the good news.

The concubine gritted her teeth, and gave the other side a white look: "No matter what, this palace is the biological mother of the four princes, nobleman Lan, you should worry about yourself!" She lost her former composure, and Lan Guiren's simple provocation immediately made her angry.

"Wait and see, Lafayette is coming back!" After saying a harsh word, Lan Guiren waved his sleeves and left.

61 Choosing a Husband and Choosing a Concubine

The turmoil of banning footbinding did not stop because of time, but it became more and more lively because of the draft.

The draft in the Qing Dynasty had a very strict system.Although the women of the Eight Banners and the Three Banners are called Xiunv, the selection methods and their status in the palace are also different.

Eight Banners show girls are selected once every three years, presided over by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and can be selected by queens and concubines, or given to the clan for marriage; wrapped three-banner show girls are selected once a year, presided over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although some of them are eventually selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Gradually promoted to concubine, but those who undertake the chores in the harem are all the women in the house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Since the emperor expressly prohibited foot binding, many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were troubled by the annual draft of the three-flag coat.When it comes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one has to mention the concubine Ling and the concubine Ling now.The reason why she was downgraded and could still spend money lavishly was because she had a father who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although Wei Qingtai is only one of the minor principals, due to the independence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the fact that the main personnel are all made up of the coats of the Shangsanqi, it can be said that it is intertwined, and the whole body is affected by a single hair.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Emperor Shunzhi, it has included more than 3000 official positions and can be said to be the largest institution.The responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is to manage royal affairs, such as royal daily meals, clothing, storage, etiquette, engineering, farms, animal husbandry, guards and retinues, Shanze harvesting, etc. It also controls salt administration, distribution of customs, and acceptance of tribute.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs slipping through the nails is enough to make the concubine squander.In addition, the Respect Room, which is responsible for managing eunuchs, maids and all affairs in the palace, is also under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Internal Affairs. Fortunately, Li Ming had the foresight to appoint someone he trusted.

However, Li Ming wasn't completely relieved. You know, these coated slaves are used to enjoying themselves, so how could they be willing to be mediocre?Therefore, the concubine Ling became their greatest hope, their reliance in the future!This is also the biggest backer of the concubine Ling before, otherwise, how could she have such a large amount of financial resources to buy off the eunuchs and maids of various palaces!

In order to better manage the House of Internal Affairs, Li Mingbing divided it into two steps. On the one hand, he replaced the minor chief for different reasons and installed his own people; on the other hand, he arranged secret guards to monitor the chief.

No, as soon as there was any movement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Ming would know immediately.

From this point of view, Li Ming knew that he was the one who forbade foot-binding.In the past, Qianlong liked the soft and weak women in the south of the Yangtze River, not the kind of Manchu aunts. In order to cater to the emperor, the family of Baoyi Sanqi made the women in his family into the tune that Qianlong liked.

Qianlong hadn't enjoyed it yet, but Li Ming had already arrived, and the good plan of wrapping the three flags was in vain, so they were depressed.At the beginning, in order to cultivate the tone of weak girls, all pretty girls had their feet bound. What should we do now?

Li Ming is happy, his unintentional actions still have this effect, not bad, really not bad!However, the draft is a big event after all, and it is impossible to dismiss it easily, so what excuse can we find?

"Your Majesty, Princess Seya is out to see you!"

Yes, Li Ming has a good idea, but he wants to make use of Seya.

"Xuan!"

"Saya pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" It has been a long time since I came to Qing Dynasty, and Seya has also learned a lot of etiquette.

Li Ming greeted the other party with a smile: "You came just in time, I was looking for you!"

After saluting, Seya spontaneously found a seat: "Why does the emperor want Seya?"

"I've decided to hold a martial arts competition for you in two days, what do you think?" Although Li Ming was asking for Saya's opinion, the emperor is always the emperor. Now that she has already spoken, there is no reason for Saya to refuse: "Everything It's up to the emperor to decide!"
