At this time, Gao Yizhong, who was wearing a purple official robe, only held a wooden board and looked straight ahead.
On the other side, Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen, who was very emotional yesterday, just remained silent.
On the contrary, the other court officials below were just talking about it, and they were all guessing at the moment.
When King Liang returned to the court, Emperor Yong still did not appear, but Li Jing, the eunuch beside Emperor Yong, accompanied King Liang and appeared in front of the dragon chair.
Under Li Jing's guidance, King Liang sat on the dragon chair. At the same time, he heard Li Jing clear her throat.
Suddenly, the court hall, which was once noisy like a vegetable market, was as silent as water.
Li Jing said in a loud voice, "Yesterday, Your Majesty caught wind and cold, and today he felt unwell when he got up. Therefore, the King of Liang will be the only one to take charge today. He will act if there is something to do, but will retire if there is nothing to do."
Seeing that King Liang was in power, everyone felt that the most important thing now was the arrangement of the crown prince.
However, because Emperor Yong was not in power today, everyone cooperated tacitly and did not discuss the matter. Instead, some admonishing officials only suddenly mentioned the matter of Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen.
However, there was not much controversy in this matter. Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen only looked like he was willing to make mistakes and be punished.
As for the officials who committed the crime, they were detained and dealt with by the government long ago.
Therefore, although Zhao Yanzhen's matter caused a big fuss at the banquet yesterday, Zhao Yanzhen did not want to continue to dwell on the matter. In addition, after the King of Jin returned to the court, he did not have many grievances and disputes with others, and the King of Liang, who was in charge of the overall situation, was willing to protect him, so the topic of King Jin was only raised high and then gently dropped.
After the story about King Jin was finished, Lieutenant Cheng immediately stood up.
He only said loudly, "I have something to report!"
After saying this, Captain Cheng stood up on his own.
After hearing Taiwei Cheng's words, the others only glanced at each other.
The king of Liang who came up just said in a calm voice, "Say."
With the approval of King Liang, Captain Cheng finally spoke this time.
"I want to report to Cui Zian, a scholar." Cheng Taiwei suddenly said loudly at this time.
Hearing this, there was another uproar in the audience.
When the king of Liang, who was at the head, heard that Cheng Taiwei was going to kill the people around him, his face became a little ugly.
"What do you want to say?" King Liang asked displeasedly.
"Sir Cui Zi An Cui is a noble person in the court, but he allows his sister to work as a female model in a rouge shop called Xiaochun Mountain. I think this is too immoral."
"Since ancient times, women have been expected to stay at home without leaving the front door. This is the behavior of a lady. Master Cui's sister's behavior actually triggered a trend of imitation in the capital. If this trend continues to be tolerated, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules and regulations? ?”
After hearing this, several more pedantic representatives came out to join Cui Zian.
It is also Cui Zian's official position, and he is not qualified to go to court. Otherwise, if he hears what content he is participating in today, he will be angry to death.
"Rules and propriety are determined by people. I think there is nothing wrong with letting women do some work. Besides, don't Cheng Taiwei's daughters have a low birthrate?" Unexpectedly, the person who said this was Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen.
The reason why he came out to help Prince Liang speak is naturally because Xiaochunshan is his wife's property. Although she dislikes the shopkeeper of that shop, the shopkeeper also makes money for his wife. Of course he doesn't want this. It involves his wife.
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's question, the man was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said, "Of course there is. But these industries don't require them to come out and show off their morals."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen just smiled and said, "Then what is Mr. Cheng's original intention of buying a house for them?"
"Of course I want them to have some livelihood." Cheng Taiwei said in a low voice.
"The livelihood of a good girl from a well-known family naturally has a good father like Cheng Taiwei to worry about. But not all women's elder brothers and fathers are like Taiwei at birth, and their own are also surprisingly low." Zhao Yanzhen said in a low voice. One sentence.
"Taiwei, do you know how much silver is the monthly salary for academic administration? How much silver does it cost to rent a small two-bedroom apartment in the east district of the capital? And what are the prices in the capital?"
Zhao Yan
Zhen's question only made Cheng Taiwei's face turn the color of pig liver. How could he know this? After all, they naturally have someone in their house to handle this kind of thing.
"How do I know this? Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by dedicated personnel?" Cheng Taiwei asked. .
Zhao Yanzhen chuckled lightly, "I guess you don't know, so let me tell you. The salary for studying politics is twenty taels per month. These twenty taels may be just a meal for your family, Taiwei." However, this is what you say Master Cui’s family will live for in one month.”
After Zhao Yanzhen's words fell, the poor student in the court naturally thought of his own situation. They all came out to talk about their current situation. The topic was suddenly distorted into "the salary is too low, it should be..." Give rise to wages, prices in Beijing are too expensive, and everyone can’t live in a rant meeting.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Taiwei immediately said, "The person I want to play is not Mr. Cui, but Mr. Cui's sister. As a female member of Mr. Cui's family, she should set an example and should not take the initiative to destroy the atmosphere of the capital. "
"Then what Taiwei Cheng means is that Master Cui's sister, as a female member of Master Cui's family, should starve to death in order to fulfill the rules and regulations in your mind? Why do you think these rules exist? The rules are for people to have a good life." To be restrained and start a better life.”
"If a rule can't make people survive, then I don't think such a rule is necessary."
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, many people in the venue expressed their agreement.
Any constitution should be people-centered.
"I didn't say that." Cheng Taiwei said guiltily.
"Then what did Taiwei Cheng mean? Cui Xuezheng's salary was not enough to support the family of three. In order to make a living, Xuezheng's sister went out to look for job opportunities, but Taiwei Cheng said that the other party was immoral. I asked Mr. Taiwei if he planned to put the person Are you starving to death? Your Excellency said no again? Then I would like to ask Your Excellency, do you have any good solutions? Do you mean that Your Excellency intends to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to increase the salary of each adult? Or is Cui Xuezheng's salary something that Your Excellency is willing to do? Responsible?" Zhao Yanzhen continued to ask
Zhao Yanzhen had just asked these words, and before Cheng Taiwei had time to answer, the Minister of Household Affairs immediately jumped out and detailed how tight the finances are now, how much military expenditures are, and how much tax money is available in various places.
Cheng Taiwei probably never dreamed that his idea of maintaining etiquette would be torn apart in various ways in reality, and that he would become the target of public criticism.
Just the complaints from the poor scholars about the price of goods in the capital, the low salary and money, and the control of money by the Ministry of Revenue. These things are obviously much more practical than the other party's etiquette system.
There was a lot of quarrels outside the court, and the confrontation between the household department and Han Men turned the entire court meeting into a vegetable market.
No one expected that Zhao Yanzhen would muddy the waters of this matter with just a few words.
In the end, Li Jing, who was still the leader of King Liang, patted the table.
Finally everyone stopped fighting.
King Liang looked at Zhao Yanzhen calmly and said, "Since the third brother has said so much, I wonder if the third brother has any good ideas?"
Zhao Yanzhen only said in a low voice, "Nowadays, women are also healthy people. They can also do various kinds of work. I thought that they can also be allowed to come out to supplement the family income. There is nothing wrong with doing some work to make money. Since women can earn a living? Why do ordinary women do so? Can’t you make some money to keep you around?”
Once their own interests are involved, a group of people who thought the other party was immoral just turned it into a fact that there is nothing wrong with being a woman. At this time, the people from the Liang Wang faction only came out at the right time and said that Cui Xuezheng needed his sister to help support the family. Didn't it prove from the other side that Xuezheng was an honest official and had no extra income?
And because of this, Lieutenant Cheng could not help but turn his hateful eyes to Jin Wang Zhao Yanzhen.
However, the topic of Zhao Yanzhen has been discussed for a long time, and the incident happened in his own house. Therefore, although Taiwei Cheng was very dissatisfied with King Jin, he could not say a word at the moment.
Of course, it was Zhao Yanzhen who succeeded in stirring up the dispute. At this time, everyone's focus was still on Cui Zian. Everyone only focuses on the issue of whether women should also engage in social work.
Waiting for the North Korean Lieutenant General to discuss this matter heatedly
After Yang, Cui Zian, as the person involved, was the last person to know the ins and outs of the matter.
Cui Zian felt very complicated when he heard that his sister actually worked as a female model in a rouge shop and made this makeup popular.
On the one hand, he cannot accept his sister engaging in such a public job. In his opinion, such behavior is something that only a lowly woman who sells jokes in a brothel would serve others with sex and be watched by others.
What's more, after learning that the singers and dancers in yesterday's song and dance performance imitated the makeup of his sister in Xiaochun Mountain. The emotions in his heart became more complicated.
But on the other hand, he also knew in his heart that it was precisely because of his financial difficulties that he let his sister worry about making a living.
Therefore, his emotions were very complicated.
When they returned to Cui Mansion, Lady Cui and Cui Lingwei were just waiting for him to come over. Even tonight they had an unexpected guest, Wen Mingwei.
And because of the other party's arrival, even though Cui Zian wanted to ask his sister something, he could only suppress the matter calmly after seeing Wen Mingwei.
He asked Wen Mingwei in a low voice, "Mingwei, are you here tonight but do you have any questions that you don't understand and want to ask for advice?"
Hearing the other party's question, Wen Mingwei immediately shook his head and said, "It's not because of this that I came here. I just heard that my sister-in-law and Lingwei are going back to Huatai Mountain City soon, so I wanted to come over and ask my sister-in-law." Is there anything I can help you with?"
