I want to be a grandson

Chapter 494
Qi Tai said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my lords, Cai Wenji was written as a biography in the biographies of women. She is the daughter of the great Confucianist Cai Yong.

He is erudite and talented, and is good at literature, music, calligraphy, etc. There are two "Poems of Sadness and Indignation" and "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" that have survived until now. The story of Wenji's return to Han Dynasty is widely circulated. "

"If you want to talk about virtue, Cai Wenji first married Wei Zhongdao, and her husband returned home after his death, and there is no record of him supporting his in-laws...

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in great chaos and the princes separatist regimes. The Southern Huns who originally surrendered to the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to rebel. Cai Wenji was captured by the Huns Zuoxian King and gave birth to two children.

After Cao Cao unified the north, he spent a lot of money to redeem her, and then decided to marry her to Dong Si... Therefore, Cai Wenji had three husbands. According to today's view, even she is not eligible to be included in the biography. "

Bao Zhao added from the side: "There is also Zhuo Wenjun who eloped from home and sells wine as a slave, and he is not eligible to enter the biographies of women."

Jing Qingdao: "Wang Fuzhi's "Shi Guang Zhuan" says: "In ancient times, there were no young or widowed wives. When a husband dies and the field returns, if there is nothing to support her, she will marry her.But old without a husband is said to be widowed. "

There is also "Guanzi Ruhui Pian" which says: "Every Hui has a matchmaker. A husband without a wife is a widower, and a woman without a husband is a widow. Take the widow and widow and reconcile them. Give them to the farm and house for the family. After three years It's about it. This is called unity and independence."

It can be seen from this that it is not a shameful thing for a woman to remarry, and the government should not interfere with it so that the poor people in the "widows, widows and loneliness" can marry, which is also a manifestation of benevolent government..."

"That's why I feel that from Huang Daopo's deeds, we shouldn't be too harsh..."

Several people talked for a while, and expressed their views one after another.

The reason why I stayed on this issue for so long is because Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism imprisoned women and Taoists too deeply, and its influence was too abominable!
In fact, the social atmosphere before the Song Dynasty was very open, but after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the restrictions on women's ethics and morals were too strong, and remarriage became a thing that was pointed out and criticized by others!

In addition, foot binding is prevalent, so women are only kept in the backyard, and it really becomes a door without leaving the second door!

Finally, Zhu Yunxi said with a final word: "Huang Daopo's improvement of skills has benefited the people of one side, and the world praises her, so she should write a book and pass it on!
As for the fact that she was abused by her husband's family and fled from her husband's house..."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the crowd, and said with anger in his tone: "I think this is what it should be! Local officials have the duty to educate the common people, so that the common people's husbands and wives love each other, and their parents-in-law live in harmony.

If it is really unsustainable, you can reconcile and leave, and you are forced to flee from your husband's house. You can imagine how serious the abuse is!This is not her husband's! "

This was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. When Cheng Zhu's Confucianism became popular, his remarks would definitely be persuaded by others!
Zhu Yunxie ordered: "Also, the Huan family, Zhao Yuanjiang, and Shu Xianxiong in the biographies of the women are excluded, and they are not allowed to be praised in the future, and Xun Cai is not in the biography!"

"The young Huan family lost their husbands. In order to avoid the fate of remarrying, the Huan family did not return to their family. Faced with the persuasion of the same clan, they actually cut off their own ears to show their determination.

There is nothing wrong with a woman who loses her husband and remarries. At that time, no one knew what to do. On the contrary, the family would support her, but she did this. What kind of virtue is this?How does this make the later widows deal with themselves? "

"Xun Cai, who acted like her, actually hanged himself to death, I really don't know what it means!"

Xun Cai is the wife of Xun Shuang's grandson Yu. The Xun family of Yingchuan and the Yin family of Nanyang are both famous families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is normal for the two to marry.

Yin Yu died when Xun Cai was 19 years old, and Xun Shuang planned to marry her to Guo Yi of the same county. In order to let Xun Cai go home, Xun Shuang also adopted a strategy of pretending to be sick.

However, Xun Cai didn't give in, and she was always ready to commit suicide with a sharp knife. She finally hanged herself in the Guo clan, and wrote her last wish with makeup powder: Send her back to the Yin clan after she dies.

As far as they themselves are concerned, it is commendable that the husband and wife are deeply affectionate and keep chastity for their deceased husband.

But it is too much to use them as models for future generations of women to follow.

There are also such loving and loyal couples, but how many are there?

For more people, remarriage is the final choice and destination.

But once such deeds are advertised, others will use this to restrain the widow.

Simply put, it cannot be advertised!

"There is also Zhao Yuanjiang. In the fifth year of Jian'an, her husband Sheng Dao gathered a crowd to rebel in Yizhou. After the incident was defeated, the husband and wife were arrested and imprisoned together. Zhao Yuanjiang took the initiative to persuade Sheng Dao to abscond, and she stayed in prison to prevaricate.

Caused the rebels to escape, so disregarded the rules and regulations, and was listed in the biographies of women. Could it be that loving the husband and children can indulge the rebels and cause harm to the people! "

Zhu Yunxue said angrily: "There is also that Shu Xianxiong, her father Shu Nihe, who fell into the water and died when he was ordered to pay homage to the prefect of Bajun County. He couldn't even find the body. It is understandable that she cried bitterly, but she ran to the place where her father fell into the water." , Suicide, diving to death!
Things like this are actually written into the biographies of women. Does the court want to encourage all women to commit suicide like this!I think Liu Xiang is really confused!Can't even tell right from wrong! "

He ordered: "Your Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy will kick out all these messy, dirty and dirty cases! This kind of thing can also be passed on, it is ridiculous!"

Ren Hengtai hurriedly saluted and replied: "Yes, I obey!"

It can be seen that His Majesty is a little angry at this time, and no one will touch his bad luck at this time.

Zhu Yunxi said: "The compilation of Nvshu focuses on virtue and talent. Virtue is the virtue of the family, the country, and the world, and only then is the talent for managing the world!

What is beneficial to the imperial court, the world, and the people can be spread widely, and there is no need for those dross to exist! "

What he said is equivalent to laying down a general outline for the compilation of the book, letting the people below know what to do.

After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Tai said: "Your Majesty first came to the Great Treasure. I heard that King Yan and King Zhou are willing to give up their fiefs and let the imperial court move their capital here. What is your majesty's intention?"

Several confidant ministers looked at Zhu Yunxi one by one, trying to get an answer from him.

Moving the capital is not a trivial matter. Although Zhu Yunxi has made up his mind, he still needs to communicate with his confidantes, so that when someone proposes moving the capital again, they will be at a loss and don't know how to deal with it.

Zhu Yunxi then said: "As for the benefits of moving the capital, it goes without saying that everyone understands it, so I don't need to go into details here.

But no one brought up any hindrances and inconveniences in the relocation. I would also like to hear your thoughts on the harm to the future.

Qi Tai, since you brought it up, let's start with you. "

"Yes, I obey!"

Qi Tai thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Kaifeng and Fengyang, where the capital was originally moved to, have been war-torn and dilapidated, and can no longer bear the heavy responsibility of the capital. Moreover, Kaifeng is on the bank of the Yellow River, and it will cost a lot of money to control the flood of the Yellow River. great effort,

And once an enemy breaks the Yellow River, Kaifeng will be a land of floods, and the capital is a place where people's hearts gather. If the capital is not protected, people's hearts will inevitably be scattered..."

"Geographically, Xi'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, and there are easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack passes on all sides. Provide important resources such as food and horses.

However, my lords, since the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has not established any capital here, which shows that the geographical situation of Xi'an has undergone tremendous changes.

In the past, the nomads in the Hexi Corridor and the Mongolian Plateau did not rise. The rear of Guanzhong was very safe, and Bashu could not pose a threat to Guanzhong. The regime in Guanzhong only needed to defend the Hangu Pass in the east with heavy troops. It is the so-called "controlling the princes with one side alone". "

"Since the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang and Tubo in the northwest have risen, and they pose a greater threat to Guanzhong. They can attack Chang'an at any time, but the Tang Dynasty cannot invade their places.

At this time, the rear of Guanzhong has become a big threat, and it can be said that it is facing the enemy from both sides. At this time, the capital of Xi'an is to trap himself in the place of the Fourth World War. "

"So from the perspective of court security, I feel that Guanzhong should be excluded!"

After a pause, Qi Tai continued: "In addition, before the Tang Dynasty, the world's grain, grass and taxation land was in the north, and Guanzhong was known as the land of abundance. The capital Guanzhong is indeed conducive to controlling the world, but now the Guanzhong area no matter In terms of population, money and food, they are far less than those in Jiangnan.

The damage has become more and more serious, and food production is difficult to be self-sufficient. Therefore, colleagues, today's Guanzhong is no longer a place of prosperity.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was still necessary to transport a large amount of grain from the south of the Yangtze River for supply. Later, the feudal towns separated and attacked each other, and the grain roads were often cut off. It was for this reason that the Song Dynasty set the capital in Kaifeng. "

Jing Qing said: "Then you mean that Fengyang, Kaifeng, and Xi'an are not suitable for building a capital city, so is Beiping suitable?"

Qi Tai shook his head and said, "Peking is not suitable either!"

"Appreciate further details!"

"The capital is where the power of the imperial court gathers. Moving the capital to Beiping is equivalent to transferring the center from the south to the north. This is equivalent to leaving aside the land where food and grass are taxed. How is it a wise choice?
Besides, the hidden dangers of the remnants of the Mongol and Yuan forces are huge. Now they are divided into three parts, Waci, Tatar, and Wuliangha Sanwei.

There are also the forces of the Jurchen ministries in Jianzhou, which cannot be ignored...

The capital city was built in Beiping, and it was easy to assemble, dispatch and command the army outside the Northern Expedition, and to gain the loyalty of the soldiers, but Beiping was too close to the battlefield! "

Bao Zhao said: "I heard people say that the closer the army is to the front line, the faster it can react, gather troops and start a war..."

Tie Xuan couldn't help but said: "The capital is too close to the battlefield, if there is a mistake, the enemy will immediately attack the city, which will be a huge blow to the prestige of the imperial court!

Therefore, as a capital city, there must be room for buffering, and there must be enough time to mobilize troops and horses to deal with the enemy..."

What Tie Xuan said in his words is that Beiping Mansion has no strategic depth!

Once the enemy hits, they will immediately come to the city!
And as the center of the regime, every time the enemy hits here, it is a slap in the face!
And if the capital is some distance away from the battlefield, even if the front line loses, there is still plenty of time to mobilize food, grass and troops into the capital!

And the enemy hit here, and most of them have become the end of their strength, and they don't have much spare power to maintain their strength.

It is the best time to launch a counterattack!
In history, the face of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was pressed to the ground and rubbed back and forth many times!

Because foreign enemies attacked the city several times, even at the time of "Daming God of War", the emperor was taken away, and the country was almost destroyed!
"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor is dead."

Although these words are majestic and majestic, although they are strong and firm, they certainly make people's blood boil!

It's not wise, it's just not wise!

No one can hide it!
Lian Zining said: "Your Majesty, my lords, the construction of the capital has been completed. If we want to move the capital, it will take ten years to build the capital and the palace! How much manpower and material resources will be consumed in this process?" ,financial resources?
Also, if the capital is moved to Beiping, taxes, money and food from the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably be transported there. Can water transport keep up?Have you calculated how much food and grain it will cost just to control the river course?
And it is not enough to repair it once, it needs to be maintained almost every year, and a large sum of money is invested in it every year, and a large number of civilian workers are also used, which is also a large amount of consumption...

Once there is a flood or drought, a flood in the canal, or a decrease in water volume, it will affect the water transportation!

What to do by then?Could it be that a large amount of money and food is left here? "

Jian Yi looked at the crowd and said, "The harm doesn't stop there... Beiping was originally an important strategic city to resist and attack the forces in the north and outside the pass.
Once Beiping became the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that the originally balanced frontier defense troops would be gathered and shrunk to Beiping. How many Ming troops would be stationed outside the Great Wall?
Therefore, the defense of the nine sides is bound to break the balance and give the enemy an opportunity!
Although it is true that a large number of troops have assembled near Beiping, at this time Beiping is completely exposed to the direct threat of forces outside the pass, and the gains outweigh the losses..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, what Jian Yi said was exactly what happened in the Ming Dynasty.

Once Beiping becomes the capital, a large number of people will be gathered there just to protect it, just in case.

But in this way, the defensive forces in other places will become weak.

But even so, it can't stop the enemy from approaching the city!
Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, saluted and said: "My lords, no matter Xi'an, or Kaifeng, Luoyang, or Beiping, it is not suitable to have a large population, because once these places receive a large number of people,
The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River became the source of timber needed for the construction of the capital, and the forests would be felled in large quantities, which would lead to intensified flooding of the Yellow River.

A large amount of sediment was carried down by the rushing Yellow River, which aggravated the degree of the Yellow River's "overground river".
