Bright Moon Breeze (97) (Bright Moon Breeze (97) Peaceful Three Years...)(2/2)
Even princes are guilty of the same crime as the common people, so shouldn’t scholars be guilty of the same crime as the common people?
should!
Then I heard the queen say again, "Since people must be equal to the greatest extent before the law, then we have to say two things. First, slaves are not allowed to be lynched! You are not allowed to beat or scold at will or even kill slaves with a stick. If so,
If the master commits such a crime, his crime will not be downgraded. Secondly, men and women should be equal before the law. If a husband beats his wife and other related crimes, his crime will not be downgraded."
Does this mean that husband and wife should be equal? This is not acceptable! How can this be true?!
Why is there no such thing? There is a difference between high and low status, and this cannot be changed! But in the face of the bottom line of the law, is it not possible to strive for a little bit of equality?
Ye Xianggao sat there in silence for a long time, and then asked the queen, "I dare you to ask the queen."
Hmm! You ask.
"In the eyes of the empress, do you and the emperor have any distinction between superiority and inferiority?" If there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, there will naturally be no equality.
This is a tricky question.
Lin Yutong said: "The emperor's residence is Qian, and this palace also has Kunning as its residence. Mr. Ye Ge, what do you think of the distinction between superiority and inferiority in the universe?"
Qian and Kun, Qian is heaven, Kun is earth, Qian and Kun are heaven and earth.
Tell me, who is superior between heaven and earth and who is inferior?
No one said anything, but the fourth master said, "There is heaven and earth, divided into yin and yang, and this is why there is endless reproduction. If only yang cannot grow, only yin cannot grow. If one is missing, who is superior and who is inferior? Qian is at the top, and Kun is
If you are in the lower position, then I would like to ask, who is respected and who is inferior? A gentleman who is above must imitate the example of heaven. A gentleman who is below must imitate the earth. The sky has scorching sun and rain and dew, so the earth cannot be separated from the sky. And the earth produces all things,
Life and death are endless, and in the same way, the sky cannot be separated from the earth. There is no dignity or inferiority in the universe, but the positions are different and the division of labor is different."
After the words fell, Wang Keshou took the words and said: "I think what the emperor said is very reasonable! If nothing else, let's talk about these years... If the sky is not controlled by the wind and the rain is not smooth, the earth will be
All things are not abundant! In the same way, if the anger of the earth is shaking everywhere, even if the wind regulates the rain and the rain is smooth, will all things be abundant? It can be seen that heaven and earth are indispensable! This is what heaven and earth tell us."
As soon as he said these words, he was glared at by everyone!
Li Zhi's deception has caused serious harm!
Got it! When I got here, I couldn’t talk anymore.
He Zongshan poked Mr. Ye Ge, "You can't stand here! If you don't agree to change this place, the Queen will not agree to change that part. For officials, the Ming Law is too strict! We actively promote the change of the law for the scholar-officials. But
Your father has to allow the queen to benefit from sharing the profits, right?
Otherwise, the Queen will always make trouble!
You want to tie the Queen's neck, but turn around and the Queen is there to tie your neck. You have to take a step back!
But Mr. Ye Ge did not take this step back, he stood up directly, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Both Fourth Master and Tongtong are used to it. The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are like this! If they are dissatisfied with some of the emperor's actions, they have three ways to shame you: first, they will hit a pillar in the court to show you. Second,
, walk away in public and ignore you. Thirdly, you treat the emperor's imperial edict as fart over and over again and try to summon him, but he won't tolerate you.
This was not only the case when the Fourth Master came to power, it has been like this since the Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Yuanzhang's violent temper also had passive resisters.
Because of the government affairs, there were many red-faced and thick-necked people arguing with the Fourth Master, and there were often people who would spit on the Fourth Master. Look, another one came and walked away in front of everyone.
Lin Yutong suddenly stood up, slapped her face, and the tea bowl on the small table jumped wildly. She heard her sternly scolding: "Stop!"
Ye Gelao turned around, showing no fear. He just looked at Lin Yutong and said, "My dear, some things can be moved, and some things cannot be moved. Do you know what this change means? I have a mother, and I have a mother.
I have a wife, I also have a daughter, I ask myself, I am filial to my mother, respectful to my wife, and loving to my daughter...I have never looked at a woman with my lower eyes. I am often delighted by the abilities of my empress. A wise king and a good queen will
This is like the people getting a pair of parents who can protect them from wind and rain... This is the Ming Dynasty's blessing! I am not for personal gain, only for court affairs, so I don't agree. You just put the knife on my neck, I
You also have to say, no! At least not now! This is not just a change in the law, this is a major event that will shake the foundation!"
Lin Yutong's expression softened a bit, but the corners of her mouth were still stiff. She looked at Mr. Ye Ge, "Mr. Ge, I know that many people are whispering behind my back, saying that I have ambitions to become a military queen."
Empress Wu constantly raised the status of women and paved the way for her. Some people made analogies one after another and murmured frequently. But Ye Xianggao refuted them all!
Knowing this, even though he often had conflicting ideas, Ye Xianggao still sat firmly in the position of chief assistant, and no one could shake him.
Shaking the foundation is what Ye Xianggao is worried about.
Therefore, Lin Yutong asked him, "Shake the foundation? Is it because I don't understand this or does the emperor not understand this? Does Mr. Ge have to point out such an obvious thing? But we know, why do we mention it? Mr. Ge talks about the foundation.
, then I dare to ask Mr. Ge, is the foundation of Ming Dynasty still stable? What should we do with such a foundation?"
Ye Xianggao raised his head in disbelief, "Empress, you can't say that!" He knelt down with a thud, "Empress, your words will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world!"
Then with a roar, everyone stood up and knelt down, "Please be careful what you say, ma'am."
Lin Yutong laughed out loud and said coldly: "You keep calling others barbarians, but the barbarians you call know how to kill people but not women and children. Why? Because women represent the population. Only with women can we give birth to more people.
Children will come! Only when there is a place and a population can there be a king. What a simple truth this is! Protecting women protects the future of a country. Only when they are healthy will their children be healthy. Only when they are sensible can their children be sensible.
What determines the prosperity of a country? First, see if there are bustling crowds on the streets. Second, see if people are tolerant. Think about the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, why was it considered a prosperous age? Because it was tolerant. In
On the street, there are men, women, people from the Tang Dynasty, businessmen, students, and monks of various skin colors from foreign countries. They are all the same in each other's eyes. No one will despise anyone! Today, the emperor has the Ming Dynasty in its prime
heart, but you don’t have the ambition to prosper and prosper the Ming Dynasty! You stick to your limitations and don’t think about changing when faced with a desperate situation! You have a heart of patriotism and loyalty to the emperor, but you have no ability to help the country..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xianggao raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty..."
What? Did I say something wrong?
Ye Xianggao's lips trembled as he was about to speak, but he fell straight to the side!
Fainted!
You fainted from anger?!
Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master innocently: "..." What did I say? If she hadn't seen that he was really fainted, she would have thought that the elder was trying to blackmail her!
