I want to be a grandson

Chapter 485: The Status of Women in the Early Ming Dynasty
In the end, Xu Miaojin's patience was completely lost by what she said, so she had no choice but to say: "I can tell His Highness what I said, but I don't know if it will be useful..."

Zhu Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely agree. Let's just visit these orphans occasionally and give them a lecture on their homework. Whoever really knows how to be a teacher will fail."

"Okay, then as you said, I will do my sister a favor..."

Xu Miaojin smiled and agreed, but after agreeing, she felt a little uneasy. After all, she didn't know what it meant to meet.

At dusk, Xu Miaojin came to Zhu Yunxi's study, and when he reached the door, he took tea from the hand of the maid.

Reaching out her hand to signal, the maid bowed and retreated with a wink.

Yi still walked into the study, handed the tea to Zhu Yunxi, and said softly: "Your Highness, take a sip of tea and take a break."

Seeing that it was Xu Miaojin, Zhu Yunxi also showed a comfortable smile, put down the pen and shook his stiff hands, took the tea bowl and said, "Sit down, why are you here?"

The reason for asking this is because Xu Miaojin is a very measured person. The study is where Zhu Yunxi studies and handles official business. Normally, she seldom comes here.

Xu Miaojin couldn't bear to say: "Your Highness, you have been very busy these days, but what kind of business is so urgent that His Highness can forget to eat and sleep so much?
The weather is hot, Your Highness has to take good care of your body in order to..."

Zhu Yunxie shook his sore neck, "After the test, another group of Jinshi will be produced, there will be those who passed the examination in previous years, and there will be candidates from all over the world. We must always pick out some available people...

At this time, the crops are being filled with grout and will be harvested soon. People harvest, thresh, dry, and store. Although these are low-level things, this is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the court be as stable as Mount Tai..."

So Zhu Yunxi has been urging the officials below, especially the village communes in the villages, to help the people harvest the farms,
And beware of someone's trouble, if the villain set fire to it at this time, or deliberately create some troubles, it is easy to achieve the purpose of land annexation!

Zhu Yunxi must suppress the occurrence of mergers and ensure that the land is in the hands of the people!
As for the selection of talents, its importance is self-evident.

The two most important powers of the king, one is military power, which needs to be loyal to the army without double-heartedness.

The second is political power. The most important thing in political power is the right to select talents and promote officials.

If the right to select talents is lost, then the power will be left behind and the king will be emptied.

We must know that in history, there are disputes between the power of the prime minister and the imperial power, as well as the power struggle between the imperial power and the scholar-bureaucrats. In history, there are many powerful ministers who emptied the emperor.

It's not that Zhu Yunxi doesn't trust his subordinates, but that this is the right to be the master, how can it be delegated to others?

If such authority is lost, then what is there to do for this master?
Others simply decide for you and take your place!
A courtier has the duties and responsibilities of a courtier, and a monarch also has the duties and responsibilities of a monarch. Only when the two do not trample on each other can the stability of the regime be guaranteed.

Xu Miaojin said consolingly: "It is Daming's blessing that His Highness is so diligent, but you should also pay attention to rest, and don't work too hard..."

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "Electing for the country is a major event, and the people's livelihood is the most important thing, so don't be sloppy at all.

But you don't have to worry, with the Wenyuan Pavilion around, where can you be busy..."

Xu Miaojin walked behind him, stretched out her jade fingers, and massaged his head to relax him and relieve his fatigue.

Gently caressing with fingers, elegant body fragrance, coupled with a warm atmosphere, the gentleness of a beauty beside you,

Under Xu Miaojin's slow massage, Zhu Yunxi's complicated thoughts were greatly relieved, but after a while, the fatigue all over his body disappeared...

Zhu Yunxi immediately closed his eyes, with a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously enjoying himself very much at this moment.

Suddenly she pulled Xu Miaojin's hand, she was giving Zhu Yunxie a massage to relax, she never thought that he would attack suddenly, she staggered unpreparedly, was dragged into Zhu Yunxie's arms, and was hugged by the waist.

"Ma'am, it's a great time, a beautiful day, don't let it down..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the beautiful woman in his arms with a smirk, and the meaning he expressed couldn't be clearer.

Xu Miaojin hurriedly took a look outside the door, although she didn't see Zhu Yiwei, she was still uneasy.

She encouraged herself to come over, would she come along curiously to have a look?
"Your Highness, it's not good to be like this in broad daylight. Let me tidy up the study for Your Highness..."

Xu Miaojin blushed and was about to stand up. If her girlfriends and sisters saw this, she wouldn't be ashamed to death...

But since Zhu Yunxi deliberately pulled her into his arms, he didn't allow her to get up, so he hugged her even tighter.
"It's better during the day. At night, it's so dark that you can't see anything. If you think about it during the day, it's a different experience. Come on..." He stretched his face over as he said.

"Your Highness, don't be like this, it's not good to be seen by others, please let me go..."

Xu Miaojin was really scared this time!

She wasn't even sure if Zhu Yiwei followed her or watched outside, if she obeyed...

Then in front of her... I can't lift my head up!
I'm so ashamed!
"Don't worry, no one can enter my study without notification, so you can rest assured..."

"Your Highness, don't... don't, I have come to His Highness to discuss something..."

Xu Miaojin covered her red lips with one hand and her breasts with the other, and her expression was quite nervous.

Seeing that she was so guarded, Zhu Yunxi showed a treacherous smile. If he wanted to plot against me, he had to put himself in first!
From the moment she entered the door, Zhu Yunxi knew that she had something to look for!

Since she came to the study, her own private place, there must be something going on.

And seeing Xu Miaojin being so secretive and hesitating, you know it's not a big deal, so it's good to tease her and relieve her mood.

Xu Miaojin was afraid that he would start to move again, so she hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the orphan school you opened gathers those orphans together to teach them to read and write. I wonder if I can gather some girls and teach them to read too.
Don't ask them to become talented female doctors, at least they can help their husbands and raise their children. This will also make the family harmonious, and their husbands will be able to serve the court and His Highness better in the future. "

Zhu Yunxi still didn't let go of her hug, but he didn't mess around anymore.

I am resting in the Spring Harmony Palace now, but there are still a few ladies in the palace!
Although it is right for me to dote on Concubine Grandson, but I have to have a limit, I really want to let them know that I am in the study...

I'm sure I'll be scrambling...

If this is done in future generations, it will be raped in bed, and the world will be turned upside down!
Besides, if they were really jealous, they would have to get it back that night, and I would have to suffer...

"Is this your own idea, or someone gave you an idea?" Zhu Yunxi looked at her and asked.

Xu Miaojin didn't struggle anymore, and said frankly, "Of course I thought of it myself. I can't help His Highness in other places, so I can only think that I can help you in the future through these girls.

In addition, the princess has also discussed this matter..."

"Oh……"

Zhu Yunxi understood.

It would be fine if Xu Miaojin was the only one, but now that her sister is involved, she takes the responsibility on herself again,
It just shows that my sister must have a part in this matter!

And Zhu Yiwei's character, as his younger brother Zhu Yunxi, couldn't be more clear.

I was suppressed in the East Palace before, so I had to accept it submissively, and be careful everywhere, lest I end up with a sin of unfilial piety,

But since she became the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yiwei's pressure and grievances naturally disappeared, and her personality gradually became cheerful.

The social status of women in the Song Dynasty was still very high.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the status of women was said to be the highest in history!

The Yuan Dynasty also enacted many laws to protect the rights and interests of women.

The "Oirat Code" stipulates that groping women and joking with women are not allowed.

The "Khalka Code" stipulates that if the hands cause a pregnant woman to miscarry, several livestock will be fined when the child is a few months old.

The "Altan Khan Code" stipulates that husbands are not allowed to cut off their wives' hair, tear their clothes, let alone beat their wives with knives, sticks, stones, or braids. If they find out, they will be severely punished.

Although the Ming Dynasty held high the Neo-Confucianism and reduced the status of women to an extremely low level, after all, the days of peace in the world were limited. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, wars were fought for many years, and many places were still influenced by tradition. The death is small, but the injustice is big."

Moreover, this sentence has also been misinterpreted. Later generations misunderstood the scientific creed that death from starvation is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter. It has led to countless tragic endings such as women dying, swallowing gold, hanging themselves, and jumping into wells.

Fortunately, the current social atmosphere is not so rotten!
Zhu Yunxi naturally agreed with her request, but he still said: "This is a big deal. There has never been a school for girls. If the pedantic scholars outside know about this, it will definitely cause verbal criticism..."

Xu Miaojin could hear the worry in his words. If there is worry, it means there is hope for this matter!

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, just recruit some refugee girls and teach them some books that women should read. Even if they are scholars, will they still prohibit their daughters from reading biographies and other books..."

And it is in the school opened by His Highness, and it is not publicized, so how will others know?Even if people know about it, it can be said that they are teaching them the virtues of female celebrities, so who can say anything? "

"Hey, Miao Jin, I found that you have learned badly. If you say such a righteous word, it really can't be refuted!"

Zhu Yunxi raised her chin and said with a teasing smile.

"How can..."

Xu Miaojin's face flushed, "I ask His Highness to decide what to do about this matter."

For this matter, Zhu Yunxi is in favor of it with all hands. Who said that only men can study?Women can do the same!
We must know that there are some women in history whose talents and knowledge are beyond comparison with ordinary officials!

And for them, being able to leave a name in history is much more difficult than men!

And later generations have also proved that women are not stupid than men, and there are many highly intelligent ones.

There are too many female academic bullies, and the boys who are overwhelmed often can't hold their heads up.
Just crush it...

If it can only be read by men, half of the talent is wasted!

If only women could be officials...

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunxi secretly sighed, there is no way,

This is the limitation of this era. Although I have no problems, it does not mean that people in the world think it is feasible!
Now I don't dare to risk the disgrace of the world!

I don't have that qualification, and I don't have that status.

Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang want to use Ma Pengying, did he just use the name of a harem official to place her?

Only when one day I become powerful enough to change the atmosphere of Daming step by step, and then I will no longer be afraid of anyone.

Only then can the theory of equality between men and women be truly put forward, now is not the time...

Looking at Xu Miaojin's expectant eyes again, Zhu Yunxi immediately understood that this was not only what his sister meant, but also what Xu Miaojin hoped for...

Otherwise, with her intelligence and prudence, how could she be fooled by her own sister?
Loneliness in the deep boudoir is easy to cause trouble. I originally thought that things in the harem were simple. Isn't it just a few concubines in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards? There is nothing difficult.

But after watching too many palace fighting dramas, I don't know if the poisoning is too deep or what, I suddenly feel that there are many stories about the harem.

Zhu Yunxi has always felt that the backyard is his home, so intrigue or even mutual harm is never allowed to happen at home!
Being able to "Gong Dou" is too idle!

One can imagine that every day dozens of women circle around a man, all wanting to compete for favor, so they have to intrigue,

If they don't compete for favor, they can only be forgotten in the corner, who of them would be willing.

If you want to avoid palace fighting, you have to find something for them to do so that they can't relax and think carefully.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible, but we must pay attention to the impact, and do it in a secret way so that no one will know..."

"Your Highness, is this serious?!" Before finishing speaking, Xu Miaojin asked in surprise.

"Of course it is true!" Zhu Yunxi said with certainty.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for fulfilling the task!"

After being happy for a while, he became worried again: "Your Highness, this won't cause His Highness any trouble, will it?"

Seeing her being so considerate, Zhu Yunxi was also very relieved, "Don't worry, the school has already allocated a school for girls, besides, Ma Pengying and Ma Shanggong are the teachers of the school, so why don't you go?
Caring for orphans and children, personally inspecting and taking care of them is also what the prince and concubine should do! "

"Really?! Then I can rest assured..."

Xu Miaojin's hanging heart finally let go,

"But there is one thing..."

Zhu Yunxi warned again: "You can only go four times a month at most. You are the main concubine of the Eastern Palace, so you should still focus on the Eastern Palace."

"Yes, my concubine obeys!"

As if afraid that he would go back on his word, Xu Miaojin quickly agreed.
