Little emperor

Chapter 55

King Wen has adapted to the current life.Every five days, the last morning, he was scolded by the officials.On weekdays, he entered the palace in the morning to tell stories to the little emperor, and left the palace to rest at noon.

A month later, King Wen's injury was almost healed.

"The medicine in this palace is really different! Your Highness, your injury healed so quickly!" When the attendant changed King Wen's clothes, he couldn't help sighing again.

King Wen raised his brows and said casually, "The medicines that His Majesty rewarded are all the most expensive medicines, and their effects are naturally stronger than ordinary herbal medicines."

"Your Highness, you are deeply loved by His Majesty now. Why don't you take this opportunity to meet the daughters of the aristocratic families in the capital. Then ask Your Majesty for a marriage." The attendant suggested.

King Wen is 20 years old, and it's time to start a family.

Frowning slightly, King Wen said displeasedly: "Get married? Just like this king now, I don't even have a sense of security. Going to harm other people's girls? Is this appropriate?"

"Your heirs are the most important thing! Your Highness, I dare to say something, if something happens to you, your line will come to an end..." The entourage persuaded King Wen helplessly.

King Wen didn't take it seriously, sat down, and said slowly: "So what? Are you going to let the child be born, and be as anxious to survive as this king?"

When he was young, the old King Wen painstakingly taught King Wen, but King Wen never understood why his father was so timid, afraid of the court, and the emperor.It was only after King Wen took over the title that he realized how much pressure he had to bear to wear the nine-bead leather crown.Even if there is no ambition, people will always be suspicious. There will always be some people who want to use the status of King Wen to make troubles, and want to live a peaceful and clean life without competing with the world. It is impossible!

"Your Highness..."

King Wen said impatiently: "Okay! You go out! This king rests for a while."

The attendant sighed, turned and left, and closed the door softly.

After noon, it was time for Li Taifu to teach Gu Yang.

These days, those pure ministers would come to the Long Live Hall to tell stories to Gu Yang every day after get off work.Gu Yang already had a preliminary understanding of them.As for Li Taifu, first let Gu Yang judge a certain person's character, and then tell Gu Yang the other person's life style, and then let Gu Yang further analyze the official's character and character.

Taifu Li discovered that the little emperor has his own ideas and judgments in dealing with things. Even if others explain and teach, the little emperor will not be immediately convinced by the other party's thinking.Instead, he would break the casserole and ask the end, and at the end of the question, Li Taifu would often be left speechless.This led to a consequence. In the process of teaching the little emperor, Li Taifu often doubted whether there was a problem with his thinking.

Just like now, the little emperor has been asking why men don't need to keep chastity, but women should keep it.Taifu Li explained to the little emperor countless times that men and women are born different, so society's requirements for men and women are naturally different.However, the little emperor just disagreed and kept asking questions.

It is really stressful to reason with a child like the little emperor!Even when sleeping, Taifu Li would occasionally have nightmares, dreaming that the little emperor asked him questions again.

"So, why is that so?" After expressing his thoughts, Gu Yang looked at Li Taifu with bright eyes.

Taifu Li: ...

Taking a deep breath, Li Taifu explained again helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have said it many times. Everything in the world is relative to each other. Where there is yang, there is yin. Men are yang, women are yin. Of course, yang is the most important, so men There are more responsibilities to bear.”

Gu Yang tilted his head and asked suspiciously: "Why are men considered Yang and women identified as Yin? Who stipulated this?"

"This is what the ancients said. It has been like this since ancient times." Li Taifu looked tired.

Gu Yang asked seriously: "If the ancients said that women are yin and men are yang, isn't it true that women are more important now, and they have to bear more responsibilities? So it has become that women can have three wives and four concubines, and men have to do it for them." Women keep chastity?"

In the past month, I have communicated with Taifu Li a lot, and Gu Yang's language skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and his speech has become much more fluent.

Taifu Li: ...

That awful feeling of doubting life is at it again!

Sometimes after listening to the little emperor's words, he would really feel that it made sense.If the little emperor was not born in an emperor's family, but in a celebrity family, he might become a generation of thought masters.

Raising his hand and rubbing the center of his brows, Taifu Li said slowly, "This is just your majesty's assumption. The fact is that men are yang and women are yin. Why does your majesty always put forward hypothetical views? This is not in line with the facts."

Gu Yang was playing with a hibiscus jade bead in his hand, and answered Li Taifu: "Today, we obey the words of the ancients and do things according to the rules set by the predecessors. Tomorrow, we become the ancients, will future generations follow the rules we set today? What about doing something?"

Manager Wang couldn't help laughing.

It's really interesting to hear the little emperor's rebuttal to Taifu Li.

Qi Erniang looks at the little emperor now as if she is looking at a god who has descended into the mortal world!Sometimes the little emperor would support Li Taifu's point of view, but when it came to matters involving men and women, the little emperor would seriously argue with Li Taifu, and kept asking until Li Taifu was speechless.Every time she returned home from duty, Qi Erniang would write to Mrs. Zhou about the little emperor's arguments.

Although she has never met the little emperor, but just listening to Qi Erniang's description in the letter, Mrs. Zhou now also worships and respects the little emperor.She is very envious of Qi Erniang being able to enter the palace every day and stay by the little emperor's side.And she can only write poems and lyrics for the little emperor at home, and praise the little emperor in various ways.

The bystander is clear, Ye Dalang, as a bystander, quietly watched Li Taifu being bewitched by the little emperor bit by bit, his mind was shaken, and he began to doubt himself.He sighed in his heart, even if the little emperor was born in an ordinary family, with his ability to bewitch people, he would surely become famous all over the world and be worshiped by everyone!Such a person is the most terrifying!

After pondering for a while, Taifu Li stared at the little emperor with complicated eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Does Your Majesty want to change the rules, let women be yang, men be yin, and the status of men and women be reversed? Your Majesty wants to become such an 'ancient man' and change the predecessors." Let future generations abide by the new rules set by His Majesty?"

The status of men and women has been like this for thousands of years.If someone wants to reverse the status of men and women, it will undoubtedly be earth-shaking.I'm afraid that before it is passed on to future generations, it will already be reviled by today's people and the world will be in chaos.Even this era cannot survive, how can it be passed on to future generations?

Maybe it's because I have talked a lot with the little emperor these days, and sometimes Li Taifu also doubts whether the thinking since ancient times is correct.Now he is not as radically opposed to the issue of men and women as before.He was just worried about the thoughts of the little emperor, which the world could not accept.He even scolded the little emperor as a fool because of this.

"I didn't say that yin and yang should be reversed, but I just can't understand and accept the point that men can not be chaste, but women must be chaste." Gu Yang shook his head and put down the jade beads.

Taifu Li was stunned. The little emperor's answers were always unexpected, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Then what does Your Majesty mean? What do you think is the right way to do it?" Taifu Li asked the little emperor patiently.

Gu Yang told him: "If a man asks a woman to be chaste, then a woman can naturally ask a man to be chaste. A woman who is not chaste will be reviled. Similarly, a man who is not chaste will also be reviled."

Taifu Li: ...

The matter came back again, Li Taifu regained his original thinking, and explained to the little emperor: "But your majesty, the reason why a man requires a woman to be chaste is to ensure that the child born by a woman is his blood. If a man can also be like a woman If the same child is born, we can naturally demand each other fairly. But men and women are born with different bodies, and they are destined to do different things."

Gu Yang looked curious and asked Li Taifu: "Since women have to bear more than men to bear children, it means that women's bodies are more useful than men. Men think women are weaker than them. Where does this view come from?"

Taifu Li was surprised, and responded subconsciously: "Naturally, it is because men are stronger than women, and men are taller and stronger than women."

Gu Yang continued to ask: "Since a man thinks he is so strong, why does he have to rely on a weak woman for such a big thing?"

Taifu Li: ...

"Because men can't conceive and have children, women can't conceive and have children by themselves. Yin and Yang must be reconciled in order to conceive offspring." Said, Taifu Li frowned again.

"Teacher, if there are no rules, no dignity in this world, there are only men and women. If breeding offspring is a major issue, wouldn't women be more useful and stronger than men?" Gu Yang raised a hand and looked at Li Taifu.

Taifu Li: ...

According to what the little emperor said, the world first opened and the human race began to appear.The status of women is indeed higher than that of men.

Seeing that Taifu Li hadn't spoken, Erniang Qi couldn't help but said: "So in the beginning, the status of women was the highest, but later the status of men and women was changed. We descendants are following the rules changed by the 'old people'."

Mrs. Li glanced at Qi Erniang, and Qi Erniang said shyly, "It's Qi who is talking too much."

Gu Yang smiled and said to Qi Erniang: "Yes, Mrs. Qi is so smart!"

After saying this, Mrs. Li also understood.It was a selfish man who changed the original rules in order to demand the purity of his blood, turned the world upside down, and suppressed the status of women.So much so that today's men can have three wives and four concubines, and women, whether they are wives or concubines, must be required to keep chastity for men.This rule keeps changing.It's just that for thousands of years, the shackles on women have become heavier and heavier.Just because no one in power is willing to change the rules for women and love women more.

Thinking of this, Li Taifu was shocked.Looking at the little emperor's eyes became awed.

It is said that children's minds are the cleanest, like a piece of white cloth, the color it is dyed in the end is related to education and growth environment.The little emperor obviously maintained the purest thoughts, so he had many doubts and puzzles about the rules of this world.

If he hadn't talked about these things with the little emperor today, how would Li Taifu have discovered that the original rules are completely different from the current rules!The beginning of chaos, the beginning of the birth of the human race, the first life, is the beginning of the rules.Later generations changed the rules.And the descendants of their descendants can only abide by the rules of the descendants, but they don't know what the rules of the first ancients were like.

For some reason, Taifu Li felt that at this moment, there was a feeling that his soul had been rewashed.Suddenly, I saw many things clearly.

After trying to understand the truth, Li Taifu asked the little emperor respectfully: "So, it is appropriate for men to keep chaste for women?"

Gu Yang nodded.During a woman's pregnancy, a man still has fun with other women, which is a great harm to the former and should be reviled.

Taifu Li hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Your Majesty, if a man keeps chastity for a woman, doesn't that mean that a man in a family originally has one wife and several concubines, and can have more than a dozen children under his name. He will become monogamous." , can only have a few children. As a result, the population of our country will decline. Fewer people are not conducive to the development of Dazhou."

After realizing it later, Mrs. Li finally realized it.Isn't this matter the same as Emperor Wen's restricting the development of vassal kings, and the result is the same.In order to limit the development of the feudal king, only one heir is allowed to exist in the feudal prince's mansion.If it is a big country, where one husband and one wife are all over the country, and men and women must keep each other chaste, the number of newborn children will definitely decline rapidly.In less than a hundred years, the population of Great Zhou will greatly decrease and gradually develop into a small country...

Taifu Li was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.His face turned pale.

Gu Yang pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What will happen if there are fewer people in Da Zhou?"

Looking at the little emperor with deep yellow eyes, Taifu Li replied: "If the population decreases, it will change from a big country to a small country..."

"What is a big country? What is a small country?" Gu Yang picked up the jade beads and played with them again.

"There are many people, the country is rich and strong, and the country is vast, so it is a big country. There are few people, the country is weak, and the country is not big, so it is a small country." Li Taifu explained seriously.

"How many people are there? How rich is the country? How rich is the country? How vast is the country?"

While Gu Yang was talking, Manager Wang approached and poured him a glass of water.Poured a cup of tea for Li Taifu.

"Naturally, the more the better, the more people there are, the more taxes they receive, and the easier it is for the country to become rich and powerful. Taking Dazhou and the other three countries as examples, Dazhou is now prosperous and strong! Whether there is a disaster or a war, Dazhou has The ability to deal with it. And some countries, just to deal with natural disasters, have consumed more than half of the treasury. As for the vastness of the country, if it can be as large as Qi Dan, it will be a vast country! The current Da Zhou, and the other three countries, are exactly the same as Qi Dan. The great country of Dan was separated." Taifu Li became more and more excited as he spoke.He hopes that the little emperor can become a generation of sages and unify the world!Let Da Zhou become the second Qi Dan!

"But I heard that some poor families gave birth to daughters and couldn't afford to support them, so they sent their daughters away. Why?" Gu Yang had been holding his face with his left hand for a long time, and Gu Yang put his hands down.He picked up the water glass and drank the clear water in small sips.

Taifu Li was stunned, and was suddenly struck with a stick.Going around, he didn't expect the topic to turn around this matter.

This incident has become a norm among the people.It is true that the more the population, the better, which is conducive to the development of the country.But the people gave birth to a baby girl, but they were unwilling to raise it, so they killed it directly.This is reducing the population of the country!It turns out that the population of the country has been decreasing since a long time ago.And the reason for all this is precisely because of the idea that men are superior to women!But they are used to it!But no one thinks there is a problem with this matter!

Suddenly there was a chill behind him, Taifu Li's fingers trembled, and his Adam's apple twitched.

Taifu Li couldn't sit still any longer and stood up abruptly.With an eager expression on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, I understand. Now go discuss with the other ministers and issue an order to ban the killing of female infants!"

Director Wang looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, this was the first time he saw Mrs. Mrs Li looking so frightened.For a veteran of the three dynasties like Li Taifu, why have you never seen such a big storm?To panic like this!

After quickly recalling the conversation between the two just now, Director Wang understood why Taifu Li was so flustered.After the little emperor asked what a big country is, and Li Taifu explained it, the little emperor brought up the private killing of female infants, and directly pointed out the social phenomenon that has always been in the Great Zhou Dynasty!The female infanticide has indeed directly affected the development of the population and the development of the country!

Ye Dalang was once again shocked by the little emperor's bewitching power.Before Li Taifu listened to the little emperor's debate, he would only have self-doubt.But now, he was obviously affected by the little emperor's thoughts.He even planned to issue a government order to change the folk atmosphere.

Shouldn't it be Li Taifu who taught the little emperor how to do things?But it became the little emperor teaching Li Taifu how to do things.At a young age, he can handle the elders of the three dynasties and obey his own words.Such an emperor is really scary!

With red eyes, Qi Erniang suddenly knelt down to the little emperor, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! How many girls have been saved by what Your Majesty said today, so that they can continue to live in this world."

As a woman, although Erniang Qi resented that she could not do great things like a man, when she saw girls from poor families in the folk and knew that they had a harder life than her, Erniang Qi felt very sad at that time.During that time, she was very depressed and wanted to do something for those girls who lived in misery, but she didn't know what she could do for them.

Kong has a kind heart, but has no ability to do good, and the kind heart has been suffering.This feeling is extremely painful.

Qi Erniang has no ability to change the fate of girls in the world, but the little emperor can!Thank God for sending such a good little emperor to the world, so that the girls in the world can be saved!

Gu Yang smiled, looking down at the glass cup.

It seems that he has saved many girls, but no one knows what these girls think when they grow up.When they were suppressed and tortured by rape and spiritual harm.Some people may have thoughts of hatred, wishing that they would be killed as soon as they were born, so that they would not have to bear these pains.

No one ever asked the child if he wanted to come to the world.We are all forced to come to this world.In the beginning, their life and death were decided by others.

Just like Gu Yang himself, even if he came to this world in this life, he would be an emperor as soon as he was born.It is also inevitable that life and death will be decided by others.The current Gu Yang, because of the age limit, is really weak and has no ability to protect himself.Some want him alive, some want him dead.All forces are competing.

Gu Yang hates the thought and behavior of "If you want a child to come to the world, let the child be born, and when the child comes to the world, because you don't like the gender of the child, then send the child to die", it is too evil!You can choose not to give birth from the beginning, and after the life falls, you will have evil thoughts and destroy the life. This is really a violation of life.

Maybe life is very hard, but most people are living strong.For that little bit of expectation, for that little bit of beauty, I was reluctant to leave the world.Gu Yang wanted these baby girls to survive. After seeing the world clearly, he decided to stay.Instead of letting those who gave birth to them decide whether they will stay or not.

Ye Dalang was taken aback by his mother's reaction.Sometimes, he really doesn't know what his mother is touching.The little emperor taught Li Taifu how to do things, so Li Taifu and the others ordered to prohibit the civilian killing of female infants.What does this have to do with his mother?Why did his mother look so moved that tears filled her eyes, thanking the little emperor?

So what if the baby girls stayed?It will only increase the living burden of poor families.Live a life of poverty.It's better to give birth to a child earlier, maybe you will be reincarnated into a wealthy family and live a good life.

Gu Yang raised his head, looked at Qi Erniang, and smiled softly at her.

Qi Erniang wiped away her tears and said with a choked voice, "Your Majesty, I have the courage to make a proposal!"

Gu Yang nodded to her, looking at her quietly.

"Most of the common people live in poverty and cannot afford to raise so many children. So they choose to kill the baby girls and keep the baby boys. Even if the court orders to prohibit the civilian killing of female babies, the surviving female babies will not die. Well done. I propose that the imperial court set up an organization to raise these baby girls. When these baby girls grow up, they can be used by His Majesty!"

When speaking, Qi Erniang was extremely nervous.He sneaked a glance at Manager Wang, and saw that Manager Wang was calm and didn't react at all to what she said.

What Qi Erniang said, Gu Yang also considered it.He felt that Li Taifu and others would definitely make arrangements.If there is no arrangement, he will mention Mrs. Li later.Now that Qi Erniang has brought it up, it is better to let Taifu Li and the others do it directly through her mouth.

Gu Yang turned his head to look at Manager Wang.

Director Wang smiled kindly and asked the little emperor: "What is your majesty's order?"

In fact, Director Wang already understood what the little emperor meant.But he likes to watch the little emperor give orders.

"Director Wang thinks what Mrs. Qi said is good?" Gu Yang blinked and asked Director Wang.

Being so dependent on the little emperor, Director Wang couldn't help laughing, nodded with a smile and said: "This old slave thinks Mrs. Qi's proposal is good. If His Majesty agrees, this old slave will tell the Taifu and the others."

"I agree." Gu Yang responded to Qi Erniang following Manager Wang's words.

Qi Erniang was overjoyed, covering her face, laughing through tears.Quickly kowtow to thank you: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"

At this moment, her blood was boiling.Back then, she was unable to help the poor girl from a poor family, but today the little emperor accepted her suggestion!She finally showed her strength!

Ye Dalang's eyes changed, and he looked at his mother with admiration.He has read so many books, but he is not as good as his mother.It turned out that his mother knew that even if those baby girls survived, their lives would not be happy.But his mother dared to speak to the little emperor and proposed how to arrange these baby girls.But he didn't open his mouth.Instead, he looked at the matter with a cold-eyed attitude.Regardless of vision, heart, or courage, he is not as good as his mother...

Suddenly, Ye Dalang understood why his younger brother was so bold and dared to ask the little emperor for military power.Maybe he really inherited his mother's character, so he can do things with a sense of righteousness and courage.

Lowering his head, Ye Dalang began to reflect on himself.

The author has something to say:

Ye Dalang: Maybe I should be a little braver?A little passionate?
