I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 599 My Woman, You Can Do Whatever You Want

In fact, Li Tian can't be blamed for this.

This entertainment room was originally made by Li Tian for himself. It is normal that there is nothing suitable for women to play.

The second is that Li Tian actually doesn't know what games are suitable for women in this era.

Based on the jokes he heard from film and television dramas and unofficial histories, at most he can think of guessing pieces, poetry tasting, embroidery, etc. Li Tian doesn't understand or like things at all.

Even if he wanted to find something suitable for them, there was nothing he could do.

Concubine Yi probably spent the last few days discussing with other people how to set up a commercial street, she was so tired that her eyes were so tired, she didn't find fault with Li Tian with the Queen and the others, she hid aside and dozed off.

Li Tian smiled awkwardly,
"This is a bit difficult for you, and I don't know what you like to play! Why don't you tell me what you want to play, and I will immediately order someone to do it for you. As long as you can tell me, I promise Get someone to do it."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and chattered to Li Tian one by one.

They talked to themselves together, so that Li Tian couldn't hear what they said at all.

Li Tian was furious and roared,
"Come one by one, speak slowly!"

With his voice, the other concubines didn't feel anything, instead it woke up the dozing Concubine Yi.

She yelled out of nowhere,

"Yes, yes, I support my sister's decision!"

This inexplicable sentence immediately drew everyone's attention to her.

It took her a long time to come to her senses, knowing that she had made a fool of herself, she gave an embarrassed smile,
"It turns out that His Majesty is also here. The concubine was rude, and I ask His Majesty and all the sisters to forgive me."

Li Tian couldn't bear her to be laughed at, so he waved to her, let her come to him, and said with a smile,

"They all talked about the things they want to play with. Do you have anything that you particularly like? I'll ask someone to prepare it together."

Concubine Yi is actually thinking about how to do business in the commercial street, how can she have such thoughts in her heart.

But at this time, she said that it was not that she would not say it, and she held it back for a long time before he hesitated and said something casually,
"The concubine heard that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, women could also play polo, and the concubine wants to see it too!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of exclamation.

Even Li Tian was a little embarrassed when he heard her words.

Women's polo only flourished for a short period of time in the Tang Dynasty, when women's status was particularly high.

Later, in the Song Dynasty, after Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism prospered, the status of women declined rapidly, and things like foot binding and women's rings became popular.

In the Ming Dynasty, this distorted model of etiquette became more prevalent, and women no longer had the free and easy atmosphere of women in the Tang Dynasty.

When Concubine Yi said these words, maybe she didn't even realize that there was something wrong with her words.

Although Li Tian was in a bit of trouble, she was very surprised. Under Yifei's cat-like personality, there was actually a free and easy style of a prosperous Tang Dynasty woman hidden, which surprised her very much.

Just when Concubine Yi was a little confused and didn't know what she said wrong.

Several concubines who were better than her came to her and whispered to her,

"Sister, what are you talking about? Polo is not for girls at all. What are you talking about!"

Concubine Yi just came to her senses a little bit, knowing that she was thinking wrong and said something wrong, she just wanted to apologize to Li Tian.

But Li Tian stopped her first, and said to everyone with a big smile,

"Very good, it's great that Concubine Yi has such an idea!"

This remark immediately surprised everyone, some timid ones already covered their mouths.

At this time, Li Tian continued to say,
"What's wrong with playing polo? Why can't women play polo? Why can Tang people play polo? Why can't it be played in my Daming?"

"Are the women of my Ming Dynasty inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty, or is it that those pedantic etiquettes have taught my women of the Ming Dynasty to lose the nature they should have?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the queen and the others, as well as the room full of leisure toys.

Under the bewildered eyes of everyone, Li Tian said again,
"Empress, I actually disagree with what you said just now. What does it mean to be suitable for men to play, but not suitable for women?"

"They're just a bunch of toys. Why are there gender distinctions? As long as you like it, just play with it."

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Li Tian had an idea in his heart, planning to take advantage of today's opportunity to popularize the creed of equality between men and women with them.

It just so happened that at this time, the other little princes and princesses in the entertainment room were also attracted by Li Tian's words.

Li Tian simply called them all to his side, picked up a billiard ball, and said to everyone,

"From Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created man, to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there has never been any record that women are born to be what they are."

"Women have never been accessories of men."

"In ancient times, when human beings were still in ignorance, it was women who raised the food they picked and planted, and men who couldn't hunt prey.

In that era, women dominated everything and dominated the survival of the entire human civilization. "

"However, with the continuous development of human civilization, some people with ulterior motives began to use their thoughts to pollute this era.

Advocating the so-called three obediences and four virtues, the so-called wife is more valuable than her husband, simply degrading women to men's accessories, and spreading this harmful theory proudly.

What is even more distressing is that this kind of distorted thinking has been accepted by everyone in an era, even women who have suffered unfair treatment. "

"What a sad thing this is!"

The impassioned argument almost confused the queen and others who believed in the virtues of women and women since they were young.

"Is there anything wrong with doing this? Isn't it like this for hundreds of thousands of years!"

They wanted to refute, but Li Tian was overjoyed, so they had no choice but to shut up and continue listening to Li Tian.

"Yes, women are born with a gap with men in terms of physical strength and physique, but their brains are not inferior to men at all. Except for the silly comparison of physical strength, I really don't know what men are naturally superior to. Women's."

"This world is made up of two parts, men and women. Why can only men make contributions, why can only men be officials and support their families!"

"The times are progressing, and the era of self-styled things will eventually pass.

If you want to change the world's perception of women, it is not enough to rely on the space given by men, you should also learn to fight for it. "
