the next day.

Ouyang Lun is fishing leisurely.

Queen Ma came to the clan mansion, with a woman by her side.

"Ouyang."

"My son-in-law has met the Queen's mother-in-law!"

Ouyang Lun quickly put down his fishing rod and stood up to salute. He respected Queen Ma very much.

"Who is this?"

Ouyang Lun looked at the woman next to Queen Ma.

"This is Princess Ningguo, the sister of Chongning and Anqing."

Queen Ma introduced.

"It turns out to be the second sister!"

Ouyang Lun bowed his hands.

Princess Ningguo is the eldest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, ranking second among the sixteen princesses. Her mother is Queen Ma of Xiaocigao, also known as Queen Ma. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, she was named Princess Ningguo and married. Mei Yin, the son of Runan Hou Mei Si's ancestor, is now the chief military officer of Huai'an. Among the sixteen consorts, Zhu Yuanzhang especially liked Mei Yin.

Princess Ning Guo's consort Mei Yin is also a famous person. He is the son of Runan Hou Mei Sizu. Mei Yin is simple and upright in nature, mature and cautious in dealing with things, good at horseback riding and archery, and rich in planning and strategies. In addition, Mei Yin was also proficient in classics and history, and was called a "Confucian" by people at the time.

Among the consorts, Zhu Yuanzhang also favored Mei Yin the most, and secretly ordered him to assist Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly ordered Mei Yin to assist Emperor Jianwen, while "The Continuing Biography of Heroes and Martyrs" tells this matter in more detail: In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to die, Mei Yin was serving on the side, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered He said: "You are old and faithful, I can entrust Zhu Yunwen to you." He also issued an imperial edict to Mei Yin, writing: "If there is any serious violation, you can ask for his death."

After Zhu Di was defeated, Mei Yin was ordered by Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen to guard Huai'an and defend against the Yan army. He once cut off the ears and noses of the Yan envoys, thus becoming enemies with Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. In the third year of Yongle's reign, when he passed the Zhuqiao when he entered the court, he was pushed by the former military governor Qianshi Tan Shen and the Jinyiwei commander Zhao Xifeng and fell off the bridge and drowned. Afterwards, Zhao Xi reported that Mei Yin committed suicide by drowning.

However, Mei Yin was an old minister of Emperor Jianwen and had a long-standing quarrel with Zhu Di. His death after entering the court should have something to do with Zhu Di. According to the "Guochao Xianzheng Lu", when Zhu Di tried Tan Shen and Zhao Xi, they said: "This is your order." We did it, why did you kill us?" Zhu Di was furious and asked the warrior to knock out their teeth with a golden sword, which confirmed Zhu Di's conjecture that he murdered Mei Yin.

Of course, these are just speculations without any solid evidence. Now that Niucheng has been changed by himself, Mei Yin's fate can also be changed, depending on whether Ouyang Lun wants to or not.

These thoughts flashed through Ouyang Lun's mind, and then he asked: "I wonder what the Queen's mother-in-law and second sister have come to me for today?"

Empress Ma smiled and said: "I have heard about what happened yesterday. You handled Chongning's case beautifully. Not only did you catch the murderer of Chongning, but you also saved the consort Niucheng. I will bring Ning Guo here today." Just to see the Cow City.”

As Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Queen Ma naturally knew very well that if Ouyang Lun hadn't been involved this time, perhaps the case would not have been thoroughly investigated, and Niucheng would have been sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. The result is already very good.

Ouyang Lun smiled modestly and said, "The queen's mother-in-law is too praised, but my son-in-law just does things honestly."

"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor was furious because he lost his daughter. When he calms down, he will handle it like me."

Princess Ning Guo said: "I have long heard that the fourth brother-in-law is not only knowledgeable and handsome, but also good at dancing, eloquent, and experienced in dealing with things. Now I have seen it!"

"Now that the third sister is gone, the third brother-in-law is alone. I wonder what the fourth brother-in-law plans to do with the third brother-in-law?"

Seeing Princess Ning Guo's question, Queen Ma also looked at Ouyang Lun, obviously he also wanted to know the answer.

Hearing this question, Ouyang Lun spread his hands and said, "I am also thinking about this question, but I haven't thought about it yet."

Princess Ning Guo smiled and said: "Fourth brother-in-law is an official of the clan, and my father specially ordered you to handle it. You must have an idea, don't you want to talk about it?"

"Ning Guo must not be rude. Why are you asking like this?" Empress Ma said softly: "Although Ouyang is your brother-in-law, he is also the clan official of the clan and an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. This matter involves government affairs, and he has the right to do so." I won’t tell you.”

"Of course, Ouyang. If it's convenient for you, you can tell us."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun immediately understood that Queen Ma and Princess Ning Guo were probably not just here to see Niucheng today.

"Chongning is gone. We can't ignore Niu Cheng and let him get hurt again, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of the royal family if word spreads!"

"In addition, what happened in Chongning this time has made me worry about other princesses. Should the clan government also pay attention to the protection of princesses?"

"These are just my personal suggestions. Ouyang, you are the order of the clan, and ultimately it is you who makes the decision."

After listening to Queen Ma's words, Ouyang Lun had to sigh. Queen Ma is indeed Queen Ma. She is kind-hearted, gentle, and generous. Her resourcefulness and methods are also first-rate. No wonder she can convince a group of founding officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty, and can convince Lao Zhu's harem. Be safe and sound.

After saying these words, even though I reminded myself, I felt pressured again, and I still had nothing to say.

"The queen's mother-in-law is right, my husband-in-law will definitely pay attention to the protection of the princess."

Ouyang Lun said solemnly.

It's not like Queen Ma and Princess Ning Guo saw the tragedy of Princess Chongning, and he didn't want to. After all, his wife is also a princess!

Seeing Ouyang Lun's statement, Empress Ma nodded happily, "Ouyang, I also read the article you wrote about the reform of the clan vassal kings before. It was very well written and is now being implemented very well. Recently, the clan children have become stable and motivated. Many of them, especially Lao Er and the other vassal kings, are working harder and harder than the other, and these are all due to you."

"However, Ouyang, I wonder if you have any other arrangements for the royal princess?"

"For example, let them do something? Join your clan fund."

Ho!

Queen Ma’s thoughts are not simple! If Ouyang Lun had just been asked to arrange the cow city and pay attention to the protection of the princess, it was the queen's care and love for her daughter and son-in-law, then this issue was completely beyond the thinking of ordinary women.

Gender equality? ?

No, no, it hasn't reached this point yet, and if Queen Ma really calls out the topic of "equality between men and women," then he has to wonder if Queen Ma is a time traveler like him.

But it is obvious that Queen Ma has begun to pay attention to women's status and rights.

"Queen's mother-in-law, I didn't consider this matter carefully. When I made the plan, I didn't include the princess and other women in the royal family."

Ouyang Lun said with "apology".

In fact, it's not that Ouyang Lun didn't consider it, on the contrary, he did. Even in the first version of his plan, as long as they are members of the royal family, both men and women can be included in the clan fund. However, considering that princesses and other female clan members will not If you participate in "work", you can't turn it in, so Ouyang Lun chose to ignore the female clan members for the time being, including the princess.

Unexpectedly, Queen Ma saw this, which also reminded Ouyang Lun.

Seeing that Ouyang Lun was so righteous and did not show any doubts about women's work, Queen Ma's opinion of Ouyang Lun went to a new level. As if she had met a close friend, she continued to ask:

"Ouyang, what do you think of my Ming Dynasty woman?"

This is a test for me!

Ouyang Lun "thought" for a while and then said, "Back to the queen and mother-in-law, in my opinion, I, the Ming Dynasty woman, can control half of the sky!"

The women of Ming Dynasty can hold up half the sky! !

Hearing this, Queen Ma was completely stunned, she became excited, and said quickly: "Ouyang, keep talking!"

"The women of the Ming Dynasty have strong personalities and understand right and wrong, but they are limited by caring for their husbands, raising children, and taking care of the housework. Of course, I am not saying that this is not good, but I want to say that in addition to caring for their husbands, raising children, and taking care of the housework, women of the Ming Dynasty can do more. choose!"

"The women of the Ming Dynasty can hold up half the sky. I said this when I was in Beizhili and supported the women of Beizhili in doing things other than caring for their husbands and raising children and taking care of the housework, such as running businesses and becoming female bosses, teaching and educating people and becoming wives." , even working on construction sites like men!”

"There are women in all walks of life in Beizhili. As long as they work hard, women can also support a family!"

"Fourth brother-in-law, you said it nicely, but you are not like hiding in a golden house. You can't do anything by letting your fourth sister, Miaomiao, and Miaoyun stay at home with you?" Princess Ningguo retorted.

"Second sister, this is just one-sided on your part." Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "If they don't want to, I can't force them. And although they stay at home, it doesn't mean they haven't done anything!"

"Princess Anqing is responsible for the running of the entire family. It is true that she looks after her husband, raises her children, and takes care of the housework. However, this is definitely Anqing's own wish. In addition to family affairs, Anqing also opened a bookstore that sells novels and novels. The daily life at home The expenses and the money earned from her bookstore are almost the same.”

"Miaomiao! She likes to eat and play. At my suggestion, she ate in all the shops in Beijing and published her comments in newspapers. Now she is a food blogger and many restaurant owners. If you want Miaomiao to eat in their store, leave a comment!"

"Miaoyun is simple. She likes money and likes to count money. Miaoyun takes care of her family's property and can make a lot of money every day."

"You said that's all. Should I just keep talking?"

After listening to Ouyang Lun's words, Princess Ning Guo's eyes showed envy, "If it is like what the fourth brother-in-law said, then I am narrow-minded, sorry!

Queen Ma looked at Ouyang Lun with more and more satisfied eyes, "Ouyang, I really didn't expect you to have such an idea. It's a blessing for Anqing, Miaomiao and Miaoyun to meet you."

Ouyang Lun shook his head repeatedly, "My son-in-law can have three of them in his life. Four to be precise. There is also one who is busy doing great things on the grassland! It is my blessing, Ouyang Lun!"

Empress Ma nodded and said excitedly: "Anqing and the others are not with the wrong person. My dear, if you need help, just ask me and I will firmly support you!"

Ouyang Lun: "Actually, my son-in-law had this idea before, but the conditions did not allow it at the time. Now I have your support. So please rest assured, the queen's mother-in-law, my son-in-law will try his best to make this happen! Let Daming first The women of the clan can hold up half the sky, so let the women of Ming Dynasty hold up half the sky!"

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news." Queen Ma said with a smile: "As long as you are sincere for the women of Ming Dynasty, all the women of Ming Dynasty will stand behind you!"

"Don't say goodbye. There are four women behind me. I can't bear it anymore. If all the women from the Ming Dynasty come here, I won't be able to survive. I will be the man behind thousands of women. You can also call me Friends of women!" Ouyang Lun said quickly.

"Friend of women? Pfft." Princess Ningguo laughed directly after hearing Ouyang Lun's words.

"By the way, Queen Mother-in-law, do you still remember the Women's and Children's Society in Beizhili?" Ouyang Lun suddenly thought of something and looked at Queen Ma and asked.

"Of course I remember. When I went to Beizhili everywhere, you also suggested that I work in the Women's and Children's Society. Later I went to see it and it was done very well. It protected women and children and provided help to women and children who were bullied. I think this It's very meaningful." Queen Ma nodded.

"Since the establishment of the Women and Children's Society in Beizhili, tens of thousands of women and children have been helped over the years. I feel that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. If the Women and Children's Society can be designated as a court institution, and at the same time, you, the Queen's mother-in-law, can be the official President, the officials here can also appoint women. While protecting women and children, they can also teach women and children survival skills, gradually breaking the original old thinking. When women can support themselves with their own hands, Ming women can support themselves. Living in half the sky will be more than just empty words!”

The National Women's and Children's Society was established! !

Become the president yourself! !

Queen Ma's eyes lit up. She had never longed for power, but Ouyang Lun's words gave her a new way of thinking! !

"Is the court organization? The queen serves as the president?" Princess Ningguo frowned, "This idea is good, but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and there is no precedent for women to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty! What if the father knew about it?"

Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "The president of the Women's and Children's Society is not an official like a minister, magistrate, or county magistrate. He belongs to an official in a specific region. His main purpose is to protect women and children. Children are the future of the Ming Dynasty, and the future of the Ming Dynasty needs women." After giving birth, both women and children are vulnerable groups, and it is absolutely right to protect them!"

"There was no precedent for a woman to serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty, but now there is a precedent!"

"But I can't tell His Majesty the Emperor about this. If he knows that I want to do this, he will definitely scold me for not doing my job properly, refuse to say anything, and will throw a lot of things at me, so... it can only be It’s up to the queen and mother-in-law!”

Empress Ma had already made up her mind at this moment and nodded, "Ouyang, good boy, what you said today made me enlightened. I will know what to do next!"
