Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 954: Only women and villains are difficult to raise?

The sickly Li Zhi also sat up straight, with a somewhat unclear expression on his face. Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows, but did not respond. Instead, he looked at the prime ministers, "What do you think?"

As a queen, she is the last one to make the final decision, and does not need to participate in the early discussions. Besides, Luo Junwei is here, so naturally Luo Junwei will do the charge for her.

When the Queen of Heaven asked, all the princes looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Li Zhi was a little helpless when he saw this. It had always been like this in the court since he took the throne. Basically, except for Luo and a few people who would comment, everyone else was basically silent. It was completely different from when his father was. .

At that time, he also asked the prime minister why he did not speak out. In the end, it was the British Duke Li Ji who, relying on his status as the auxiliary minister, told him the truth, "It does not depend on the minister but on your majesty. Your majesty is not willing to listen. Even if the minister who made a comment made a comment in the morning and was criticized in the afternoon, then naturally no one would comment.

During the time of the late emperor, he was almost like a saint in accepting remonstrances. No king in the past and present could compare with him. At that time, even if Wei Zheng offended the late emperor like that, the ministers did not worry about being belittled or even killed. However, this is not the case now. , naturally no one spoke. "

Since then, Li Zhi has never heard of this thing again. If no one talks, no one will talk. Every day, a group of people are pointing out his shortcomings and saying that he really can't stand it. As the emperor, he is like his father. It would be too unfair for the emperor to be abused like that.

But now that the ministers were silent, Li Zhi turned his head to look at Wu Zhao and sighed slightly. He knew Wu Zhao very well. For most ministers, silence actually meant disagreement, but Wu Zhao, He would regard silence as acquiescence. This kind of shamelessness would make Wu Zhao do things with no disadvantages.

If the ministers don't speak now, then Wu Zhao's will will become the will of the answer to this question.

And what will Wu Zhao do?

On the surface, he was targeting what Luo Xuanyun said about farming, but in fact he was denying everything he said before. This is also a common practice when criticizing, which is to extract a short paragraph from a paragraph. This is a typical fault-finding behavior, and then negates the entire paragraph.

Luo Xuanyun was also considered a special figure in the imperial court. He was not a direct descendant of the Tang Dynasty from the beginning. Compared with ordinary people, he was naturally highly regarded, but he was far behind the other Luo family members. He had never been None of them have entered the core of the Tang Dynasty's rule. Even if they are outsiders, they have never guarded one side alone. They served Li Xiaogong in the Western Regions and Li Ke, King of Yan in Mobei. From this point of view, they are not as good as Luo Xuanxing, the Duke of Liao.

But during the Wu Zhao period, he was transferred back from the foreign army to become the prime minister. He bore the mark of Wu Zhao. In the political hall, he was still faintly above Luo Xuanling, the Duke of Yong State. At this time, he heard Wu Zhao ask, Luo Xuanling Xuanyun said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I agree with what the Minister of Civil Affairs said, talented women in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, but now they are all tied up in the boudoir. It is really a great waste.

"What Chen Guogong said just now, I have a different view. Since ancient times, what has been emphasized is that men plow and women weave. Men have better physical strength, so they plow the fields, while women have less physical strength, so they weave. But now Chen Guogong wants to let Women plow the fields. How can women plow the fields as well as men?

For example, Chen Ruchen's sister, if Emperor Taizong hadn't had a keen eye for people, where would there be such a detailed, complete and literary history book now?

When he thought of this, Li Zhi suddenly looked deeply at Luo Junwei. His cousin had a big plan. What did he want to do by putting this matter on the agenda at this time?

After Luo Junwei finished speaking, she waited quietly in the palace. Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Zhao looked around and set his eyes on Chen Guogong Luo Xuanyun, "Chen Guogong, do you think what the Minister of Civil Affairs just said? How is it?”

There are really many such things. There is the sun and moon in the sky, and there are two saints on the earth, one yin and one yang. This is destiny. This woman cannot only stay at home and have children. If she can fully let her develop, If it plays a role, Datang's future may be even more brilliant. "

"This……"

Women are naturally weak, far inferior to men, and have some physical disadvantages. They may not be able to hold positions in the military, but women naturally have their own advantages. They are naturally sharp in writing and other aspects. I am a Luo family member. Most of the classics were compiled by women of the Luo family, and they have been in existence for more than a thousand years.

If you didn't say anything before, you didn't know what to say. Now that Luo Xuanyun has finished speaking, you can refute what he said, so that you can express your own meaning without losing face.

hiss.

Doesn't it put our Tang Dynasty into a situation of food shortage?

In front of Li Zhi and Wu Zhao, and the Tang Dynasty has not yet fallen into the stage of party struggle, this kind of criticism is still relatively mild, just a slight criticism. If it is a real party struggle, it is really to the extent of taking it out of context. If you say something wrong, you will be beaten to death.

It is difficult for a woman to take on such a big responsibility. What Chen Guogong said is deeply inappropriate. "

Moreover, I just said that you all come from high families. Even if you come from a poor family, you will not be unable to afford food if you are here. I am afraid that I don’t know what the people are like. When the upper class chooses a wife, many Choose a woman who is gentle, virtuous, and graceful because of her beauty.

"What Duke Chen said is still inappropriate. The saints once said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you get close to them, they will be disrespectful. If you keep away from them, they will complain. If you allow women to enter the officialdom, once they bring their bad habits with them, how can they regulate the world in the future? It's not appropriate."

When ordinary farmers choose their wives, they focus on physical fitness. This is because in rural areas, women have always been strong laborers. In the prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty, women contributed three-quarters of the credit. Whoever has the credit should be in this dynasty. Is there anything wrong with being famous in court? "

But after hearing this, Luo Xuanyun said calmly: "Of course at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the world was so full of bloodshed, all the countries were asking women to join the army, let alone farm.

Li Zhi thought for a while, and of course she would agree. If a woman really joins the court as an official, then this woman will naturally support Wu Zhao. After all, Wu Zhao is a woman who can be said to fight alone in the political arena. Luo Junwei and a few others surrounded her.

Luo Xuanyun said a lot eloquently, Wu Zhao was very happy. From this long paragraph, she could tell that Luo Xuanyun really thought and agreed with this, which made her feel very happy, " What Chen Guogong said is reasonable and well-founded. I am very relieved. Is there anything else you would like to say? "

Women from noble families are actually not as good as peasant women. Farmer women, especially strong laborers, have made great contributions to the food production of the Tang Dynasty. Some time ago, I, Luo, heard that in the south of Lingnan, There is a kind of rice seed with a very high yield, and women can play a great role in planting it.

Luo Xuanyun laughed loudly when he heard this, "You are really right, this villain is difficult to raise. Nowadays, villains are running rampant in the world, so there are so many difficult things. I just don't know, this villain is hard to raise." Who is it? Since the sage said that women and villains are difficult to raise, then women must not be villains, and then villains are among men like us?

In this court, please tell me the names of a few villains, let me wait and see how difficult it is to raise these villains, and how serious the harm this villain is to the world. "

"Chen Guogong is joking. We, the Tang Dynasty, are all prosperous. How can we find villains?"

However, Luo Xuanling said lightly: "We, the Tang Dynasty, are all in power. Do you mean that Changsun Wuji and others who were reprimanded by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven are no longer villains?

Are those officials who were beheaded for corruption, bribery, and other illegal actions no longer villains?

These people who violated national laws and suffered crimes were all wrongly judged by Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven. Were the two saints wrong? ” Shrimp and pig heart!

Luo Xuanyun knocked the person back with just one sentence.

"Chen Guogong, please don't slander me like this. There are villains in our Tang Dynasty, but the two saints have picked them all out with their sharp eyes, so naturally there are no villains anymore."

How stupid.

Several people in the palace no longer wanted to hear it. They were so dizzy that they could say these words. They completely fell into Chen Guogong's words. As expected, Luo Xuanyun came after him again, "It seems that you are going to give me a blow." The officials of the world have provided guarantee. If there are villains in the future, do you have to use your head to answer today's words?"

Cold sweat.

Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. If Luo Xuanyun continued to talk like this, he would probably see a prime minister committing suicide in shame and anger in the main hall to apologize, "Chen Guogong, forget it."

Luo Xuanyun smiled slightly, hiding his identity and reputation, "How many villains are there in the world now?

Since so many villains did not allow the Tang Dynasty to fall, you can imagine how deep-rooted the tree of the Tang Dynasty is. It is difficult to raise women. Is what the sage said right?

I am an outstanding minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I am not difficult to maintain at all.

I looked up at Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven and felt that she was a rare talent among men. She is not difficult to raise at all. Sure enough, the saint was wrong.

This woman, like a man, has good and bad qualities. As for the good and the bad, the power is all in the hands of the saints and in the hands of your majesty. For this reason, doesn't it mean that you don't trust your majesty and the queen?

I think it's inappropriate. "

Wu Zhao and Luo Junwei both had obvious smiles on their faces. Luo Xuanling smiled and shook his head slightly. His seventh brother was the youngest of the Xuan generation. Among all the generals, he was the weakest. , but he is quite good at debating. If you fight him in this area, you really don’t know how you will die.

The other prime ministers also figured it out at this time. It is impossible for the Luo family to object to this matter. If anyone's daughter is the most talented in the world, it must be the Luo family. If a woman becomes an official, she must be from the Luo family, and women from the Luo family are not very likely to get married, so now she doesn't even have the last worry.

and.

Everyone's eyes fell on Luo Junwei. If I remember correctly, the Luo family's ancestral master is now preparing to let Luo Junwei take over as the head of the family. They knew that Luo girls had a high status in the clan. After all, there was Luo Yin Gong Ji Lingjun a thousand years ago, but what happened now still made them dizzy.

Wu Zhao, who was in a good mood, his voice became a little thicker, and asked again: "Do you disagree with what Duke Chen Guo said? The meeting is a place where you can speak freely, and you can say whatever you want."

Feel free to say whatever you want.

Wu Zhao said it lightly here, but the prime ministers didn't think so. In the political hall, every word will be recorded, and every word will become the sword that others use to stab them.

The more you say, the more you will make mistakes. This is a truth that everyone understands.

Sometimes you feel that you are just talking casually, but once the outline comes online, it is no longer a matter of casual talk, and it can even kill people.

Especially when the emperor did not express his position and the queen obviously agreed with this matter, this matter was even more difficult to say.

Especially now it seems that there is no need for the Queen of Heaven to personally take action. Among the three prime ministers of the Luo family, not only Luo Junwei can fight today, but the other two are also unkind.

Forget about discussing the affairs of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries on weekdays. Luo Xuanling and Luo Xuanyun have never been to the Three Provinces and Six Ministries. They are just playing soy sauce roles. Only Luo Junwei has moved to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel and has a larger say. But what is being discussed now It was not the affairs of the six ministries, but such a large-scale topic that fell into the hands of Luo Xuanling and Luo Xuanyun.

The most important thing is that although this matter will indirectly help the Queen Wu Zhao to control power more reasonably, in the final analysis, it is indirect. On the surface, this is not a big issue that must be opposed by the Queen.

Political struggle is not about holding on to any issue, but about delivering a fatal blow on key issues.

Thinking of this, everyone began to retreat.

Li Zhi and Wu Zhao sat at the top, scanning the expressions of the people below. Seeing their twinkling eyes, they immediately knew what they were thinking. Li Zhi sighed slightly again, and it was indeed the case.

The corners of Wu Zhao's lips curled up into a slight smile, and that was indeed the case.

"It seems that all the ministers have no objections to the proposal of the Minister of Civil Affairs. I used to think that all the ministers were rotten Confucians who stick to the defense, but now it seems that I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Everyone could see that Wu Zhao was in a really good mood, and he even laughed at himself. No one except Luo Junwei had ever seen the Queen like this.

Several people lamented in their hearts that they could not resist this matter. Once this edict was promulgated, Wu Zhao's position would be more stable that day. After all, women could participate in politics, so what would be wrong with being in power that day?

Now there is a lot of criticism both inside and outside the court regarding the coming of the Second Saint. After all, I have only heard of the empress dowager holding power, and never heard of the empress taking power. But once this happens, the voices opposing Wu Zhao will rise. Much smaller.

This must be Luo Junwei's purpose.

Admit defeat!
