Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 292

Zhu Youjian's move clearly told everyone or later Jin: I believe in Li Jing, and it won't work for you to play tricks in front of me.

At the same time, it sent a signal to Li Jing that the buddies have already made clear the horses and horses, and now it is up to you. If you agree to this marriage, it means that you have not communicated with Hou Jin in private. If you do not agree, the traitor will scold you I'm done!At that time, I stood on the commanding heights of public opinion, and I used the army of justice to crusade against you, which was justified.

At that time, as a traitor, your subordinates may no longer trust you, let alone Wanmin?Without the people to follow, how can you compete with me?
As for whether Zhu Youjian's move is suspected of making a marriage, neither Zhu Youjian nor Li Jing would think about this naive question, and even those ministers would not think about it.

Because Li Jing is a subject of Ming Dynasty and a subject of Zhu Youjian, not a foreign country threatened by force.

In addition, marrying a princess just sounds glamorous, but in fact it is not the case at all.

Because marrying a princess is really a crime, especially the princesses of the Ming Dynasty (and the Qing Dynasty).When others marry a wife, they marry back home to be their wives. Marrying a princess is tantamount to marrying home a living ancestor.

Many people think that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, but it is not the case. In the Ming Dynasty, even ordinary people did not want their sons to marry princesses.

Marrying a princess is what the common people call, and the official name is Shangzhu.Shang: Feng Ye, means to enshrine and serve.

The identity of the princess is the emperor, the son-in-law and the parents of the son-in-law are the ministers, and the ministers will kowtow when they see the emperor.

Every day, the father-in-law, mother-in-law and son-in-law have to kowtow when they meet their daughter-in-law. Is there any fucking reason for this?

The gift of the monarch and his ministers does not matter, it is only twice a day in the morning and evening. In addition, after the parents-in-law kowtow to the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law will kowtow to the father-in-law and mother-in-law when she turns back.

The son-in-law and the princess are in a husband and wife relationship. In a normal family, it is a very normal thing for a husband and wife to have a family relationship, but it will not work when it comes to the princess.

There was a rule in the Ming Dynasty (later the Qing Dynasty also followed this rule) that the princess and her son-in-law lived separately, and the son-in-law was not allowed to enter unless she was summoned.

In fact, of course the princess doesn't want to do this. The princess is also a young woman, so how can she not be happy with fish and water?But in the matter of summoning a son-in-law, the princess can't be the master at all.

According to the rules in the palace, when the princess descends, some court ladies will be sent to take charge of the Zhongfu (where the princess lives), which is simply called housekeepers.

This housekeeper takes care of everything, even the princess's meeting with the son-in-law.

If the princess wants to resist, the housekeeper will tell her all kinds of rules, especially the women's commandments, women's training and so on. If the princess doesn't want to be called a slut, she has to swallow her anger.

If the princess is more stubborn, the housekeeper will go back to the palace to complain.

I don't know what the parents who were emperors and concubines in the Ming Dynasty thought. They would rather listen to the words of the housekeeper than their daughters. The result of the princess complaining is often reprimanded.

As a result, the housekeeper naturally became more and more arrogant, and the princess became more and more tolerant.

The princess didn't dare to resist, and the son-in-law was even more afraid.

In fact, the housekeeper did this only for money. After the princess and the son-in-law bribed her, they would open the door for the couple to have a good relationship.

But not all sons-in-law are rich. Liang Bangrui, the son-in-law of Princess Yongning in the Ming Dynasty, didn't even see the princess's face because she didn't have enough money for the housekeeper, so the princess was still a virgin until she died.

Princess Shouning's son-in-law, Ran Xingrang, secretly met the princess one day while the housekeeper was having fun with others. When the housekeeper found out, she tore him off the bed and kicked him out of the house.Ran Xingrang went to the palace to file a complaint, but was beaten out by the eunuchs again, without even seeing the emperor and his father-in-law.

When the son-in-law suffers so much, who wants to marry the princess?

But Li Jing is willing.

Zhu Youjian kicked the ball to Li Jing, and Li Jing had to catch it. If he didn't catch it, he would be a traitor.

But Li Jing didn't just catch the ball in a daze.

After meeting Zongzheng of the inner government, Li Jing put forward his own conditions.If Zhu Youjian agrees to this condition, he will agree to the marriage.

Li Jing's condition is: ask Zhu Youjian to send Princess Kunxing to Pingyang Mansion, and Li Jing will raise the princess himself.Considering that Zhu Youjian might not feel at ease when the princess came to Pingyang Mansion, Li Jing agreed to send people from the palace to take care of the princess, but these people had to listen to Li Jing.

Knowing that Li Jing proposed such a condition, Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what Li Jing meant.

Princess Kunxing is only five years old now, but with a little conscience, no one will attack such a young child.

Moreover, although the princess has a noble name, she is of no value to the emperor other than being the emperor's daughter. Li Jing will never use the princess to blackmail Zhu Youjian.

To say that letting the princess live in Pingyang Mansion would at most break the rules and make the royal family lose face.But Princess Kunxing is just a five-year-old kid now, and living in Pingyang Mansion is nothing.In addition, since Li Jing agreed to send someone to take care of the princess in the palace, there will never be any lack of etiquette.

Zhu Youjian knew Li Jing well, he knew that Li Jing would never do meaningless things.But for the matter of letting the princess go to Pingyang Mansion, Zhu Youjian couldn't see any conspiracy by Li Jing.

Zhu Youjian thought about it for a few days but did not understand what Li Jing's purpose was. Seeing that the voice of public opinion outside was getting louder and louder, knowing that this matter could not be delayed any longer, Zhu Youjian did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately agreed to Li Jing's proposal. Require.

Zhu Youjian acted vigorously and resolutely this time, and at the same time he asked the internal officials to deliver the decree, he brought the princess along.

On this day, Li Jing and Yuan Keli happened to visit Xu Guangqi at the Academy of Sciences. While drinking tea, Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing when his subordinates reported the news.

"Why is Jimin laughing?" Xu Guangqi asked puzzled.

To be honest, both Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli can be regarded as veteran politicians, but even they didn't understand the purpose of Li Jing's sending the princess to Pingyang Mansion.

Li Jing smiled for a while, poured tea for the two elders, shook his head and said, "You two gentlemen, this matter seems to be of little significance, but it actually contains a lot of information."

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi looked at each other with puzzlement in their eyes.

Li Jing smiled and said to the two elders: "Both gentlemen know that last time I took Donglu's benefits and drove away Donglu's envoys. Lu slandered me by meeting with me, and let the emperor know, and it was barely a win."

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi nodded slightly after hearing this.

Li Jing smiled and continued: "Next, I will play against the emperor and Donglu. At that time, Donglu has already set up the chess game, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to see how the emperor will deal with this matter.

At this time, the emperor made a brilliant move to promote my official position and propose marriage to me.As soon as this move was made, Donglu's divorce plan was announced to be broken, which was equivalent to being kicked out of the game by the emperor.

But this game of chess is not over yet, I have to deal with the emperor's move, and I have to play according to the position indicated by the emperor, so this game, the emperor has won a big victory.

But when I was laying down, I posed a small problem for the emperor, let's see how the emperor disassembles it.After all, the emperor didn't see through my intentions. Didn't he send the princess here? "

Xu Guangqi pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out what Li Jing's purpose was. He shook his head and said, "Jimin, I still don't see what your purpose is for doing this, so stop playing around in circles."

Li Jing smiled, waved his hands to signal the elders to drink tea, and then continued: "The two gentlemen must know that when I was in college, the emperor sent someone to Pingyang Mansion to see my little girl, and the implied meaning was to marry me But I immediately revealed that the marriage must let the emperor marry the princess."

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi smiled at each other and nodded at the same time.

Li Jing continued: "This topic seems to be a joke, but it is not, because once the emperor agrees to my proposal, he will bow to me. The same is true when I let the princess come to Pingyang Mansion this time. On the surface, the emperor is in the layout. I won a big victory, but I actually won, because the emperor's proposal did not cause any loss to me, and the emperor agreed to all my conditions."

After a pause, Li Jing said solemnly: "I don't seem to have won anything substantial, but I won the emperor bowed to me twice. When one person always bows to another, I will gradually get used to it. Taking charge of the court and implementing the New Deal, the Emperor will compromise with me unconsciously, as long as the Emperor does not strongly oppose me, the resistance to the implementation of the New Deal will be greatly reduced, and this is what I want."

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi chewed Li Jing's words silently, then nodded slowly.

Both of them are extremely wise people, and they quickly understood that what Li Jing was talking about was the weakness of human nature.

Seeing that the second elder understood what he meant, Li Jing smiled and said, "I actually have another intention to let the princess come to Pingyang Mansion."

Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli smiled and cupped their hands and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Seeing the second elder making fun of himself, Li Jing patted the back of the second elder's hand lightly, and continued with a smile: "We all know that what is good at the top must be bad for the bottom. That is to say, if the superior likes something, the lower People do what they like, and they may do more than the superior. This sentence can also be understood in this way. If the superior sets an example, the subordinates will follow. Therefore, if we set a good example, we will It’s going to be a good lead.”

Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli nodded after hearing this.

Li Jing continued: "The two gentlemen must know that many of the new policies I implemented in Binh Duong are about women, because many of our factories need women to work. If the system that restricts women is not lifted, the factories will recruit female workers. There are many obstacles.

But after careful observation and understanding, I found that it is not men who are imprisoning women anymore. Because many ideas and systems have been deeply ingrained, women are imprisoning themselves.

Take foot-binding for example. Although I issued a decree to abolish foot-binding, most families still let their daughters have their feet bound. Some girls are afraid that their feet will be big, so they take the initiative to bind their feet. In this case, the problem cannot be solved by force.I can't lead soldiers to check girls' feet from house to house, can I? "
