Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

It was the tenth year of Lin De's ascension to the throne, and the tenth year of Lin Xuan's house arrest.

Linde put down the booklet in her hand and rubbed the base of her nose. She was getting old, and her eyes would become acidic after looking at the booklet for a long time.

The palace maid whispered next to Linde: "Your Majesty, I handed over the paperwork over there."

No one in the palace dared to call him the king of the county, but only over there.

Linde was taken aback, and his hands shook unnaturally: "Really? Bring it."

The court lady handed over the notebook, Lin De opened it, and read it carefully and carefully. This was the first time Lin Xuan submitted the notebook after their sister and brother had a quarrel. He wrote letters to scold her after her, but he admitted his mistake inside.

Lin Xuan said that he failed his uncle's expectations and the courtiers who followed him. He never thought of making his sister an enemy.

There were many people around him at that time, and they whispered in his ears every day that his sister was a woman, and the world could not be handed over to a woman. When those people mentioned Linde, they wanted to eat his flesh raw.

Lin Xuan thought at the time that as long as she became the emperor, everyone would perform their duties, and her sister would be a princess, just like their mother, wouldn't it be great?

He said that he now knows that he was wrong. In fact, he knew it a long time ago, but he has never bowed his head and admitted that this mistake has ruined so many things.

After reading the notebook, Linde put the notebook back.

The maid asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't you want to go and have a look?"

Linde shook his head and leaned back on the chair: "I won't go. In the future... during the holidays, please give me more things. You can tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that all the consumption of the county prince's mansion will be compared with that of the palace."

Maid: "Yes."

"Go on," Linde said.

The court lady backed away in small steps, Linde pursed her lips tightly, and looked at the plaque above her head.

This plaque was inscribed by the first emperor himself. At that time, she was still a little girl and was held in his arms by the first emperor. The first emperor said that the words on the plaque were "upright and bright".

The first emperor passed away, and she was supported by several veteran officials to sit on the throne.

When she was most frightened and frightened, her younger brother took the lead and forced her to step aside.

She was sitting on the dragon chair at that time, it was clearly midsummer, and she was obviously wearing jackets, but she felt cold, cold to the bone.

So her fear disappeared, she had no time to be afraid, she took the late emperor's edict, and remembered what the late emperor said to her.

"Linde, if one day someone tells you that you are wrong, don't listen to him."

"The courtiers can only advise you, they cannot force you. If they force you, they will kill him."

"Once you regress, your end will only be worse than death."

"Come on!" Linde heard his own voice, "Drag the offender out and cut him off!"

That day the gate of the palace was stained red with blood. Those who followed her and those who did not followed her were frightened, and then she was not afraid anymore.

She didn't kill Lin Xuan, she still remembered that Emperor Xian once said to her: "If one day, your brother makes a mistake and it is not necessary to kill him, let him live."

Until now, she felt that the late emperor hadn't left yet, and was still in this palace, with General Chen always following behind him. The late emperor seldom smiled, only in front of the general and their family members. The late emperor was also very thin, and he He is always very energetic and easy-going, and even though he is old, his eyes are not cloudy.

Lin De was no longer afraid that her throne would be unstable. What she was afraid of now was that she would not be able to meet the late emperor's expectations, and that she would not be able to catch up with half of the late emperor's achievements in her whole life. She lived in such fear that she could not find Anyone share.

Now she has two daughters, the fathers of these two daughters are not the same, she also imitated the late emperor, did not establish a crown prince when she was alive, and let them go to Liubu activities.

She had had a few lovers, but lovers always wanted more from her.

Want to confuse her with love, confuse her with a young and attractive body, just like confusing an ordinary woman, they believe that Linde will give up power because of love, and will let them get more because of love, even Unexpected benefits.

Linde can't remember those lovers anymore. It seems that one of them is very beautiful, with a pair of dimples and small canine teeth. He is always full of enthusiasm and has a lot of things he wants.

But more, she can't remember.

Linde closed her eyes and rested, she went back to her childhood, when she didn't have to think about anything, she could act like a baby in her mother's arms, go lazily with her grandmother, and her uncle was serious and kind, and she would take her younger brother to hide in the palace , Laughing every day, they will fantasize about their life when they grow up.

At that time, I wanted to be a general, and Lin Xuan wanted to be a military adviser.

No taboo in childhood, no one will take it seriously.

The palace has never changed, every day the sun rises from the same place, day after day, never the same.

The life of the people is getting better and better. The first emperor has made a good start, the trade route has been opened, and the surrounding countries only follow the Ming Dynasty. Mongolia and Jurchen are getting closer to the Central Plains. She may not see the day of true unification. Maybe she descendants can do it.

In her life, she did not do anything grandiose. What she can do is to protect the hard work of the late emperor, so that everything formulated by the late emperor can be carried out as before without hindrance.

"Your Majesty, let's rest early." The maid said in a low voice.

Linde stood up and walked to the bed.

-

The imperial examination is about to start again, and all places are busy preparing for it. During the Emperor Xiandi’s time, foreigners were allowed to participate in the scientific examination, but there have never been so many as this year. Most of the foreigners who participated in the scientific examination were grandparents and began to intermarry with Han people. It is said that they are foreigners, but in fact they are no different from the Han nationality.

Buhe is one of them. His grandfather is Mongolian, his grandmother is Han, his father is Mongolian, and his mother is Han. He lives in a city where Mongolians and Han are mixed. all good.

He heard from his grandfather that before their family moved here, they lived on the grassland and depended on the sky for food. A fire, a natural disaster, or a plague among cattle and sheep would destroy a family. livelihood.

So he has always had a hope, that is to be admitted as a scholar, a judge, a Jinshi, become an official, and then go to Mongolia, so that his people can live the same good life as him.

He considers himself a Ming person, and feels that being a Ming person is something to be proud of. Men are strong, smart, and responsible, while women are beautiful, capable, and wise. Countless foreigners have poured into Daming, and they know what the country outside is like.

Commoners are poor, nobles are extravagant, and slaves are not considered human beings.

The worse those people are, the more they feel that it is a supreme honor to be an enlightened person.

The foreigners who fled during the Yuan Dynasty came back, and more and more foreigners poured in.

However, foreigners cannot take the imperial examination.

Unless all three generations live in Daming.

Buhe said to his friends: "This is the bearing of a big country!"

The friend shook his head and said: "Your Majesty... is a woman. Women are always soft-hearted and emotional. She sees that the people of Fanbang are pitiful, so she lets them enter Daming and become the people of Daming. This is a disaster rather than a blessing!"

Bu He was puzzled: "Isn't the first emperor the same? The first emperor never forbade foreigners from entering Daming."

Friend: "Can you compare with the late emperor today?!"

The friend said angrily: "The first emperor is not a mortal, he was born an emperor star!"

Buhe looked at his friend, who also said, "I was born a few decades late! If I had been born a few decades earlier, I would have lived in the time of the late emperor!"

Buhe didn't argue with his friends.

He also admired the first emperor, thinking that the first emperor had never made any mistakes in his life.

But friends think that the only mistake the late emperor made was not giving birth to his own child.

If it is the late emperor's child, no matter male or female, he must be better than Lin De and Lin Xuan.

If the first emperor's daughter became emperor, they would also recognize it.

But it is not.

Buhe no longer argues with his friends, he just puts his mind on his studies, and occasionally goes to grassroots organizations with his classmates for research. He is so busy every day that his parents worry that he will be exhausted.

This year is the second time for Buhe to come to Beijing. Last time he was not on the list, and this time he doesn't have much confidence, but he always has to try, and he can't let all the previous hard work be in vain.

His family is not particularly rich, but it is not poor either. There is no salary for people who do not work, so he worked as a clerk in the county government, and he was able to receive some grain, rice and silver. Life is much better, and I have saved some money.

Although he became a clerk, he could still take the exam. After handing over the leave slip to his superiors, he was on his way.

Friends who travel with me are always happy to talk about the prosperity of the capital. There are always countless people in the streets of the capital, both men and women, young and old. Women’s lives are better than before. Women are no longer prohibited from participating in scientific examinations. The queen's second year on the throne decree.

Although it was said that women were not prohibited from taking scientific examinations before, because they didn't have this habit, no woman thought of getting promoted no matter how good the book was.

After the queen ascended the throne, she used many means to encourage women to participate in scientific examinations, opening the door to convenience.

There were constant opposition inside and outside the court, and there were dead remonstrances from civil servants, so nothing stopped them.

Nowadays, many clerks in yamen are women.

There are also many officials, but there are still not many in important positions.

Among the hundreds of officials who can go to court to discuss state affairs, there are less than ten female officials.

It is probably because of this that the opposition has been reduced.

After Buhe came to Beijing, he lived in the courtyard where he lived three years ago. It was still the same, but this time the host held a two-year-old doll in his arms. The host still remembered Buhe, and he also said to Buhe , His wife went to work after giving birth to a child. She was a small supervisor in a tailor-made garment workshop, managing more than a dozen people, earning more than he did odd jobs.

He just guarded the yard, took care of the children, and lived a fulfilling day.

"There is a lantern show at night, every district has it, and it's said to be a competition!" The host said suddenly, "You also come out at night to walk around, such a big festival, it's rare to see it once a year."

Bu He nodded: "It must be seen."

The male host hugged the child, turned it skillfully, and said: "Then I'll go out first, if you need anything, just come to me."

Buhe sent the hostess out, and there was a lot of excitement outside the door. Children were running and laughing all the way with their schoolbags on their backs. A young woman was walking on the street in long trousers, carrying a bamboo basket, as if she was going for an outing.

Since women have worked more, wearing skirts has become troublesome, and this kind of fabric-saving trousers has appeared.

It used to be that fewer people wore trousers, but now fewer people wore skirts.

Buhe looked around, and finally wrote a four-character comment——

Peace and prosperity.
