Her eyes were filled with admiration and admiration: "Your Majesty, I used to be at home and did not have the opportunity to be exposed to everything today. I always heard my father say how difficult people's lives were, so I thought that the people had no food to eat and they were old and homeless. I once felt pity for them. But today, the emperor took his concubines to spring plowing. I found that although they were not rich and powerful, everyone lived happily. Even if their clothes were patched, they were all clean and tidy. I felt that...the world governed by the emperor, This is what the book calls the world’s great unity.”
A light flashed in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes, and he looked at Jiang Xinyue with an inquiring and curious look: "What is the unity of the world?"
Jiang Xinyue was stunned at first, and then she slowly replied after pondering for a while: "The journey of the great road is that the world is fair, select the talented and capable, trust and cultivate harmony, old friends do not only kiss their relatives, and do not only give birth to their sons, so that the elderly can have something to do." In the end, the strong will be useful, the young will be prosperous, the widowed, the widowed, the lonely and the disabled will all be supported; the men will have their share, the women will have their homes, there will be no need to hide the goods if they are abandoned on the ground, and there will be no need to do anything if the strength does not come from the body. "Ji, it is because we seek to be closed but not prosper; because we are stealing and causing chaos, we are not committing crimes; because we are outside but not closed, this is called Great Harmony."
She forgot that the dynasty she traveled through was an imaginary dynasty that did not exist in history. People did not know Li Bai and Du Fu, and naturally they did not know such celebrities as Mencius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi.
Just because Emperor Xuanwu didn't know it, he pretended to be cool to Jiang Xinyue.
She clearly felt that the way Emperor Xuanwu looked at her was different, and he recited in silence with some excitement: "The widows, widowers, lonely people, and the disabled are all supported; men have their share, women have their home..."
This has been his goal since he became the prince, and he has worked hard for this belief throughout his life.
And he had never told anyone about this political ambition. Zhen Zhaoyi...how did she know about Zhen Zhaoyi?
No!
It should be said, why does Zhen Zhaoyi understand him so well?
In just one paragraph, the emperor's life-long wish for great rule was summed up, which made him feel very excited and unable to calm down for a long time.
And Zhen Zhaoyi said that he had achieved the unity of the world, how could he not be excited?
Emperor Xuanwu burst out from his nose with a genuine and joyful laughter from the heart: "My beloved concubine, the world is unified, but it is the most beautiful word in the world. My grandfather and father, and even I sit on the throne, it is the hard work of three generations." , Only then can we be the gateway to the great unity of the world. To truly realize what my beloved concubine said, all the widowed, lonely, disabled and sick will be provided for. I - I still have a long way to go."
Emperor Xuanwu had unconsciously confided his feelings to Jiang Xinyue.
Put her in a position where she can have an equal dialogue, instead of just talking about some small love and treating her as a recreational thing.
Who among these women in the harem is not the emperor’s pastime?
Concubine Shu did have some sincerity from the emperor, but not much. If she was really the only one in his heart, she would not be so kind to Concubine Li and Zhen Zhaoyi.
"The Emperor still has a long time to realize his ideals. I have little knowledge, but I already feel that you have done an excellent job, Your Majesty."
Emperor Xuanwu helped her sit down: "Where did your beloved concubine read the idea of world unity, or did you hear it from Jiang Shaoqing?"
Emperor Xuanwu did not like to discuss political affairs with his concubines and believed that women who were too smart would be overly ambitious. Take Empress Dowager Wu as an example.
That's why he doesn't like any talented women who have a long history. In the harem of the Yan Dynasty, there was no talented woman with a prominent reputation who was favored.
Jiang Xinyue replied: "There are many miscellaneous books in my father's study. I always take care of the study for my father, so I read a few more books. I only vaguely remember that it was said by a man named Confucius. As for what book it is, , I don’t remember it either. Last summer, the servants in the mansion accidentally burned a lot of books while lighting candles. I don’t know if they can be found!"
It would be a pity if such a talent cannot be found.
Jiang Xinyue thought, even if you turn the Yan Dynasty over, you still won't be able to find Confucius!
"Jiang Shaoqing is also a rare talent."
The emperor was thoughtful, Jiang Xinyue raised her lips and smiled, her goal had been achieved.
If she wants to rise to the top, she must let her cheap father raise Aunt Ruan's identity. To put it bluntly, a concubine is still a concubine. If she is a common wife, it will be different.
Aunt Ruan's contract of sale is still in the hands of the madam. She did not agree to have Aunt Ruan's status cancelled by the government. Before, it was to take advantage of Aunt Ruan, but now it is to suppress Jiang Xinyue.
But Jiang Shaoqing is a smart man. Today Jiang Xinyue recorded his name with the emperor, and he will always give her what she wants in the future.
Moreover, Mrs. Zhou's two daughters, Jiang Yutong, hanged themselves, Jiang Yulin was publicly slapped in the face by the emperor at the New Year's banquet, and her reputation was ruined. Among the five daughters of the Jiang family, she was the only one who could win a place in the palace. The honor and disgrace are bound to the Jiang family.
If she can no longer be promoted due to her status, Jiang Shaoqing's future will not be promoted in a short time.
Jiang Mansion——
Jiang Shaoqing's smile has not left his face since he came back from the morning meeting. He also asked his servants to notify everyone in the house to gather in the front yard. He had something important to announce.
Zhou's hair has turned several gray recently because of Jiang Yulin's marriage.
Hearing that her husband was smiling and about to announce some happy event, she thought she was begging her husband to go to the Ruyang Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday to find out more about the engagement between Ruyang Marquis Prince and Jiang Yulin, and her sad face suddenly relaxed. .
"Go and bring the third girl here. She must be the princess. I have been restrained and haven't let her go out these days. She is in a bad mood. This makes her happy."
In order to please the girl, the maid told Jiang Yulin in advance what the lady said. She ran to the front yard happily, but heard her father say to her mother: "I have taken Aunt Ruan's deed of sale to the government to sell it. From now on, like Madam, she is also the head mistress of this house. You will call her Madam Ruan from now on, and she will hold the power of housekeeping together with Madam."
Although the status of the ordinary wife is lower than that of the head wife, from now on, her children are also legitimate children and are qualified to inherit the family business. And she no longer has to treat Zhou as a concubine and suffer her humiliation.
"I do not want!"
Mrs. Zhou screamed: "I am the legitimate daughter of the editor of the Privy Council. She is an official lady after all. You put me on an equal footing with a cheap dancer. Jiang Yankun, you are going too far!"
Ruan was startled by her sharp voice and hid behind the man: "Sister, my husband has his own reasons for doing this. I will not fight with my sister for the right to be the housekeeper. Please take care of yourself. Don't be angry."
Jiang Shaoqing nodded: "Yes, Qing'er is right. This morning, the emperor has agreed to Zheng Honglu's resignation and return to his hometown. Now I am the headmaster of Honglu Temple."
What does this have to do with mentioning the Ruan family as an equal wife?
