Great Tang princess

Chapter 145 Paving the Way for My Daughter

On May [-]th, it was time for the latest issue of the newspaper to go on sale.

In the three cities, many people gathered around the newsstands, buying the latest newspapers, and there were still children selling them in the streets and alleys.

This issue of the newspaper published a lot of news.

For example, the composition of His Majesty's music is completed, and it will be played in different sacrifices in the future...

In addition, there are news from other states and counties, as well as some market gossip and the like.

The serial update of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still the most concerned, and many people have recently counted on this to bring happiness in the second half of the month.

Not to mention these ordinary people, even the couple Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are loyal readers of this novel.

Even Li Hong and other brothers would ask their sister about the follow-up plot when they met.

Regarding this, Li Yuechen just told them: "Wait until the next edition comes out and you will know."

Now she doesn't have time to give them any spoilers, and she is asking Fulai to inform Wang Xiang that she will sell some new gadgets at the Tangshui Cannery this year.

The saltpeter ice method has appeared, and you can sell some iced yogurt and other things to children, and you can sell them cheaper, with small profits but quick turnover.

The other thing is lollipops. Unfortunately, candy is still a luxury item and cannot be sold too cheaply. The target customers for this thing are still those rich people.

At the same time, Li Yuechen was also thinking about going back to Chang'an at the end of this year, so should these shops move back to Chang'an first, or reopen there at that time?

In Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen lay on the mat and asked this question: "Fulai, what do you think?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I feel that it is better to go back to Chang'an and open another one. After all, maybe I will come again..." Fulai replied respectfully, "In addition, you can take this person with you. When you return to Chang'an, it is still the same. useful."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Well, let's do it this way."

……

"Eh..." Li Yuechen walked into the hall while fanning, still muttering to himself: "It's so hot..."

While talking, she sat down on her own, saw the Su Shan in front of Shangguan Wan'er, took a sip with a spoon.

Shangguan Wan'er opened her mouth to remind her, when she saw that she had already eaten.

Li Yuechen didn't care so much at all, he just thought that the weather was really hot and unbearable.

Wearing silk unlined garments, I still feel terribly hot.It is also thanks to being able to take a bath every day, otherwise I am afraid that I will get prickly heat.

"Will Chen'er go swimming?" Princess Yiyang asked.

Li Yuechen was a little conflicted. Although it was not hot for the time being while swimming, he couldn't soak in the water every day.

After shaking his head, Li Yuechen called a palace maid to help her fan the wind.

Thinking of my mother's lesson just now, I feel uncomfortable.

I ate at the Hall of Renshou at noon today, and played with my father after eating.

Perhaps because the weather was too hot, Wu Zetian's temper became a little irritable, so he taught him a lesson from the side: "Look at you all day long, climbing up and down in men's clothing, how can you look like a woman?"

Li Yuechen felt quite helpless about this. Ruqun in this era might look good, but it's not ugly, it's just too troublesome.

First, it is not conducive to activities, and second, it is too hot to wear in summer.

The most important thing is that girls in this era walk in small steps. Wearing this kind of skirt, they pay attention to a demeanor. They can't see the swing of their legs when they walk, as if they are floating on the ground.

And Li Yuechen always walked with big strides no matter where he went, and most of the time he ran and jumped. It was okay before, but as he grew up, he began to make his mother feel uncomfortable.

Shangguan Wan'er next to her seemed to see her impatience, and wanted to ask what was wrong.

Just about to speak, Li Yuechen suddenly sat up and waved his hand suddenly: "Fulai, follow me to the Shangyi Bureau."

"Here!" Fulai agreed, and quickly got up to follow her out.

Seeing her leave suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er turned her head in doubt, and looked at the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng.

The two of them also shook their heads to express their confusion.

……

When they came to the Shangyi Bureau, Li Yuechen didn't talk nonsense, and asked for a pen and paper directly: "You guys make me a piece of clothing, specifically..."

Li Yuechen felt that before he grew up, he should be able to rebel a little bit.

Thanks to the relatively open atmosphere of this era, this kind of thing will not make my parents too irritable, at most it is just a little lesson.

The first dress to be made is a long vest with the arms completely exposed, skipping the half-sleeve style.

The current half-arms are not worn close to the body, and often a jacket is worn underneath, and the half-sleeves are lonely.

Li Yuechen planned to make a sleeveless vest that completely exposed his arms, otherwise the weather would be too hot.

As for the mother wanting to wear skirts... Li Yuechen said that skirts are absolutely not suitable for some important events, but it is really not suitable for ordinary events.

So directly draw a pair of skirt pants, which is the style with a large opening at the bottom of the trousers.

Put it out from the waist, and when it reaches the trouser opening, it is almost bigger than the waistline.

This kind of trousers looks similar to a skirt when standing still, and you can only find out that they are trousers when you walk.

Such clothes have never appeared in this era, and I don't know what kind of mood my parents will feel after seeing them.

……

The work efficiency of the Shangyi Bureau is quite good. After only three days, they said that they could go there and try it.

Li Yuechen came to the Shangyi Bureau and tried it on, not to mention, it fit very well.

It also uses bright red as the base, as long as you embroider some golden patterns later, it is basically done.

Li Yuechen asked them to embroider and send it to himself when it was finished. It would be the scorching heat of June, so it should be cooler.

The only troublesome thing right now is... Li Yuechen couldn't help but look down.

Although the growth rate is not too fast, it can still be clearly felt that it is gradually getting bigger day by day.

It is not realistic to make that kind of sports vest in this world. After thinking about it, I can only wrap it with gauze a few times so as not to affect my exercise.

Of course, she won't wrap it too tightly, as long as she can support it, after all, she really doesn't know how to make underwear.

……

As usual, Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er listened in the tunnel and took notes at the same time.

Not to mention, although Shangguan Wan'er usually likes to play, she really has a very serious attitude when she works, so that Li Yuechen's attention can't help but be attracted to her.

In the court hall, she recorded all the ministers' reports, and then they would be sorted out in the newspaper office.

The ministers had almost finished their reports. Li Zhi twirled the health ball in his hand and talked about wanting to restore Changsun Wuji's official title.

Li Yuechen in the passage looked up, thinking about it, it was almost time to recover.

After all, Changsun Wuji didn't really rebel at the time. Now that things have passed for so long and the political situation has stabilized, it's almost time to restore his official rank, and the emperor can still gain a good reputation.

Then Li Yuechen couldn't help but patted himself on the head. Sure enough, after staying with the emperor for a long time, his thinking became complicated. Originally, my old lady was really simple...

The next day, while Li Yuechen was going to pay his respects, Shangguan Wan'er also came over with the content of the next issue of the newspaper that he had sorted out.

"Wan'er has seen the Emperor, the Queen of Heaven!" After saluting, she presented the next edition of the newspaper she designed, "This is the content to be published on the first day of June, please read it!"

There is no problem with etiquette, and the expression is very serious. The only problem is that the voice is still a little immature, a proper child's voice.

Li Zhi took it over, put on the monocle made by his daughter to look at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of the person recommended by Chen'er, very good!"

After speaking, he handed the newspaper in his hand to Wu Zetian and asked her to read it too.

Shangguan Wan'er's literary talent is still very good, even if she writes vernacular, she can make a neat and gorgeous one.

Moreover, he can brag about the emperor and queen without leaving any traces between words, which can be said to be the true biography of Li Yuechen.

After reading it, both of them said that there was nothing wrong with it, so they just published it according to this. At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er also won a wave of praise.

After Li Yuechen and Shangguan Wan'er left, Li Zhi suddenly smiled: "This little girl will be of great use in the future!"

Wu Zetian next to him also nodded with a smile: "Maybe it's because I've been with Chen'er for a long time and has been affected. If I use it well, I can become Chen'er's right-hand man in the future."

"It seems that I should also choose a time to pave the way for Chen'er's future." Li Zhi suddenly laughed.

Wu Zetian knew her husband very well, and immediately said: "I have some ideas about this matter..."

……

On the first day of June, a new issue of the newspaper was issued.

The emperor restored the official title of Changsun Wuji, allowed his descendants to inherit his title, and ordered him to return to the funeral and be buried with him in Zhaoling.

Under the leadership of the Emperor and the Empress, Sinonong Shaoqing Liu Zihe and Princess Taiping will conduct experiments to increase rice yields next year.

Articles of court news spread to the people through newspapers.

Nowadays, in the teahouses and restaurants in Dongdu, discussing news with each other has become a management.

Even in brothels, literati and inkmen would often hold a newspaper in their hands and discuss government affairs while drinking with their friends.

The girl who is in charge of hosting the reception next to her will also applaud just right, which means that what someone said makes sense and the analysis is sound.

At the same time, at the first court meeting in June, Tin Hau also formally presented a series of proposals for the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, namely:
Persuade farming and mulberry, thin Fu;
Exemption of corvee in Chang'an and the areas affected by the disaster in previous years;
Stop the soldiers and educate the world with morality;

save labor and effort;
Guangyan Road;
Du gluttonous mouth;
All below the princes and princes study Laozi, and every year there is an examination of Mingjing, plus examinations of "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects of Confucius";
Those who have already filed a lawsuit before Shang Yuan have no follow-up review;
Hundreds of officials have served for a long time, and those who are high-ranking and low-ranking will have to advance and apply for delay;
Beijing officials with eight ranks or above should increase their salary appropriately.

Hearing this, Li Yuechen behind the passage couldn't help but nodded. These ten suggestions are all pretty good.

Generally speaking, it is to enrich the country and strengthen the people, make good use of talents, and win over hundreds of officials.

Should it be said that she is worthy of being the future queen?This method is really powerful!Of course, how many of these suggestions were her own ideas, and how many of them were from her father... It's hard to say.

But what Li Yuechen didn't expect was that he hadn't finished speaking.

Wu Zetian behind the bead curtain immediately proposed two more.

The first is that even if the father is alive and the mother dies, one must serve the mother for three years.

Qi decline is mourning. According to the custom, this situation has always been a year, but this suggestion is tantamount to pulling the "mother" to the same important position as the "father".

The last one is to attach importance to women's education, but it does not say that women are allowed to take the imperial examination directly, but let women try in some less important positions first.

Including the last two, a total of twelve suggestions were made in the court hall.

The latter two made Li Yuechen raise his head all of a sudden, and looked at his mother behind the bead curtain in surprise.

As soon as these two suggestions came out, it was clear that they intended to improve the social status of women.

But then the surprise calmed down. After all, it was the empress, so it was reasonable to make such a suggestion.

The tearing force imagined in the court has not come, perhaps because there is already such a living example as Li Yuechen.

Or maybe it was because she didn't directly propose to let women take part in the imperial examination, so although the ministers had some voices of opposition, they didn't develop to the point of arguing.

Except for a few symbolic sprays from Yushitai, most of the people remained silent.

The main reason is that today's events will definitely appear in the next edition of the newspaper.

If they stand up against it at this time, they will become the public enemy of women all over the world!

First of all, they now clearly know the power of the newspaper, and they are willing to take a small step back on this kind of issue that has not yet touched the bottom line.

After all, Tianhou has quite a lot of influence in the court now, so let's sell her face.

Secondly, anyone who is smart can guess that the emperor is not in good health, but the Empress is in good health, and Prince Li Hong is benevolent, filial and obedient.

Therefore, in the not-too-distant future, there will definitely be a period when the Empress Dowager will be powerful and even proclaim herself in the imperial court.

Giving Tianhou a face now can be regarded as making some plans for the future.

Li Zhi on the dragon chair was quite satisfied with the situation. After nodding with a smile, he praised the twelve suggestions and announced his agreement.

Li Yuechen in the passage felt that Taizong's soul seemed to be burning in his mother's head.

These twelve suggestions always seem to have a deep connection with some things mentioned in Di Fan.

Perhaps this can be regarded as some of the essence she extracted from Emperor Fan.

But in any case, these twelve suggestions can not only make the country develop better, but also take this civilization to a higher level under certain circumstances.

And when the next edition of the newspaper announces this matter, her prestige among the people will definitely increase a lot.

Of course, it is estimated that there will not be many straight men who hate her even more, just like the teacher Li Yuechen found for Wu Gouzi back then.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
