In just one day, all Goulan tiles in Kyoto, "The Peacock Flying Southeast", "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" completely disappeared. Even the hand-copied scripts on the market were forcibly confiscated by the officials.
Good plays are not allowed to be sung, and even the books are not allowed to be sold. The people are naturally puzzled by this, but the court has never explained things, and they have long been accustomed to it. That's it...
"Oh, I've traveled all over the capital, but I still haven't bought it, and I'll be scolded by the lady again when I go back..." A little maid wearing a green shirt and a double bun was walking on the road, sighing.
"Hey girl, girl..."
Suddenly there was a voice from beside her, and the little maid looked back, and found a sneaky man waving to her in the corner by the wall.
The man looked ugly and extremely wretched. Thinking of what the lady said, in the capital city, there are people who abduct and sell young girls like her, who are as beautiful as she is, and the little maid stepped back nervously, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm , forcibly pulled closer to the alley next to it.
"Help... um!"
He only yelled out a word, and his mouth was covered.
"It's over!" Thinking of the terrible thing, the girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, "Miss, Qin'er, Qin'er may never see you again..."
"Be quiet, be quiet..."
The voice of a man behind him was a little anxious. Feeling that the man let go of her, the little maid immediately took two steps back and looked at the man vigilantly.
A lewd smile appeared on the face of a wretched man, he unbuttoned his clothes, and approached the girl in the corner step by step.
"You, what do you want to do..." The girl's voice trembled, and her big eyes showed endless horror.
"Girl, don't be afraid..." The man ripped off his shirt with a lewd smile, only to see that the inside of his shirt on both sides was full of pockets, and the pockets were surprisingly thin books.
A mysterious smile appeared on the man's face, and he said, "Girl, do you want a book? "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion", and "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" are all available, and they are all uncensored original editions!"
The expression on the girl's face froze.
After a while, the man sent the little maid out with a smile on his face, and said eagerly: "Girl, you can go around and ask, the price here is the lowest in the eighteen streets around, if you want any more friends?" Buy it, and come here to find me, if there are more than ten copies, the price of each copy can be reduced by a penny!"
"That depends on how well you copied it. There are not many mistakes..." The little maid waved her hand and said, "Okay, if you still buy it, I will come here to find you..."
The girl carried a few pamphlets like a thief, and disappeared into the crowd not long after.
…
…
"Not allowed to sing?" Li Yi asked, taking a sip of his tea.
Old man Sun sat aside, shook his head and said, "Yes, the government just sent someone to say yesterday that "Peacock Flies to the Southeast", "The Story of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" are not allowed to be sung."
"If you don't want to sing, then don't sing." Li Yi waved his hand, not caring about it at all.
This incident was within his expectation. If there was no matter of Her Royal Highness, then these three dramas, under the background of today's era, could at best be regarded as side-balls, and they were nothing if they were placed in the hook. There are many in Goulan who are bigger than these scales, but it is very unfortunate that Goulan just wants to produce more new plays to attract customers, but it is really unjust to encounter such a thing.
Moreover, he... Anonymous's goal should have been achieved. "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" were also banned books in ancient times, but even sister Daiyu was obsessed with it. Press it under the pillow in the boudoir, and secretly read it when no one is around
Old man Sun asked with some uncertainty: "Then "Mulan", should we still..."
"Yes, yes, why not." Li Yi looked at him and said, "Who is Hua Mulan? Remembering heroes, if you can be inspired by their integrity, learn the courage to take on heavy responsibilities, don't envy high officials and high salaries, serve the motherland, be brave and good at fighting, honor your parents, be brave and strong... that is also very good."
It is normal to challenge feudal ethics and pursue free love. If he had known that the nameless person had such intentions, Gou Lan would not have fallen for him.
However, negative energy is not allowed, but some positive energy is always okay, right
The story of the heroine Hua Mulan has inspired many people from ancient times to the present. Although dynasties have changed, many dynasties still officially define her as a national hero, and her story is widely spread.
Although Her Highness the Princess is a woman, she is worried about the country. She is a golden branch and jade leaf. In order to understand the feelings of the people, she is willing to stay away from the palace. As a small headhunter, when the country's reputation is about to be damaged, she steps forward and risks her life. Fighting against the Grandmaster, and now even at the expense of being imprisoned, he wants to speak out for the women of the world and improve the bad atmosphere in society...
This is the spirit of internationalism, this is humanitarian..., this is the spirit of patriotism, but all the people of Jingguo, men and women, must learn from her that she has no selfishness Starting from this point, one can become a person of great benefit to the people.
A man’s ability may be great or small, but if he has this spirit, he is already noble-minded and pure, a man of moral integrity and above vulgar interests, a man who is of value to the people.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is such a person, isn't this the contemporary Hua Mulan!
No, Your Royal Highness, but she has a nobler sentiment than Hua Mulan!
Just Hua Mulan is not enough. When I have time, I look through the history books to see if there are any national heroines who don’t give up their eyebrows. Heroes should accept the glory that belongs to them, and should not exist on top of the dusty history books. …
"My lord is right..." Old man Sun looked taught, "My lord is still thoughtful. I will urge them to rehearse as soon as I get back. In addition, this kind of repertoire may be more popular with women, so we should add more by then." A few women's shows... "
Lao Fang wrestled with the guards of Princess Shouning on the stone table in the courtyard, 1v5, the faces of the five opponents were all blushing, and he still looked leisurely, arrogant and arrogant, and he kept muttering that his guards were useless , and stopped looking, and ran to the side to play on the swing with Yongning.
Watching old man Sun leave, Li Yi stood in the yard and let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, this is a feudal society, and being able to achieve this level is already the acme of what can be achieved so far.
The concept that men are superior to women has existed since ancient times, and with the development of historical trends, the status of women has become lower and lower, but it does not fall in a straight line, there will always be some ups and downs.
In the early Tang Dynasty, it should be the time when the status of women reached its peak in the past few hundred years.
Divorce is a common thing, riding a horse and hitting the ball in public, not many people will condemn her for not being a woman, especially in the court, there are countless love triangles and four corners messing with men and women...
Of course, Jingguo women would not envy the demeanor of the women of the former Tang Dynasty, but at least they are the continuation of Li Tang, and they can always inherit some of the demeanor of their predecessors, especially among the nobles.
In recent years, His Majesty has deliberately supported students from poor families, which has weakened the influence of rich and powerful families in the court. Students from poor families have a shallow foundation and need to find a backer. In the past few years, it was so popular that some married students were afraid to look at the list.
Not to mention poor students, the probability of marriage among nobles is almost 90%. Who doesn't have a powerful natal family and hasn't suffered much since they were young. How can they be bullied when they marry into your family
This caused many officials in the court to be high-spirited in the court, and immediately had to shrink their necks when they returned home. According to the analysis of the intelligence agency in Goulan, the strictness of the wives of some officials in Jingguo is astonishing.
Although they may not be influenced by women in making decisions on certain major matters, women have a very strong voice in the upper circles of Kyoto.
Li Yi didn't expect them to completely overthrow the tradition, to launch a revolution, to lead the women of Jingguo to stand up and call the shots, and to suppress the men. This is impossible-of course, it is still possible in some special cases.
What's more, he... the nameless person's goal was never to want them to start a feminist movement.
The seed has been planted, who knows what it will eventually develop into
It may be strangled to death just after sprouting, or it may grow into a towering tree, but no matter what, there will always be some changes.
I will leave the rest of the matter to Her Majesty the Princess...
For him, this matter has come to an end completely. Li Yi shook his head, not thinking about it any more, and at a certain moment, his expression changed suddenly.
"Li Bingning, come down for me, who told you to climb the tree!" Li Yi walked into the yard, pointed at the arrogant loli who was sitting on the tree making faces at him, and said angrily: "If you don't obey me, you won't be able to do it in the future!" Take you out to play!"
"Slightly slightly..."
Tsundere Loli stuck out her tongue at him, raised a bird's egg in her hand, and said triumphantly, "Look, I dug it out, it's amazing!"
"—"
Tsundere Lolita has already dared to go up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, the tree is already up, the next step is probably to go to heaven, the kite that Miss Liu Er brought from the Prince's Mansion must be hidden...
"Will you climb the tree next time?" When Li Yi asked her with a straight face, Tsundere Lolita hid behind Ruyi, so she couldn't even see her face.
"I'll cook." Ruyi said with a smile.
There is a cook in the house, but Ruyi often cooks by herself.
"Sister Ruyi, I'll help you." Tsundere Lolita slipped faster, took a peek at Li Yi, and ran into the kitchen ahead of Ruyi.
Li Yi rubbed his brows helplessly, looked back at the guards who wrestled with Lao Fang, and said angrily: "What are you all doing, don't you want your head..., and you, don't think you are old I won't talk about you, what does His Majesty ask you to come here, what does it mean to stand at the door and take a nap all day... "
I don't even know what my duty is, what kind of security team was sent by the old emperor!
Several guards stood up immediately, and the corners of the eyes of the gray-clothed old man at the door twitched, and he managed to calm down the turmoil in his heart.
Your wife is watching from the side, how could Her Royal Highness have something to do, besides, what Princess Shouning decides to do, you try to stop it
…
…
The capital made Liu Dayou very happy today. He was named and praised by His Majesty individually in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he also received a lot of rewards. Looking at the envious eyes of those big men who are better than him on weekdays, it is like a big man. It's like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a hot day, but you can make yourself crazy...
Originally, he thought that for the rest of his life, he could only guard the one-acre land in Anxi County. When he was able to resign safely, he would have a large house of tens of acres for the elderly, with filial sons and daughters, and a full house of descendants. , the money can never be spent, and you can still mess around with your concubine at noon every day-these demands are not too much, right
But this was never expected, ah, I never expected that when a person reaches middle age, it is as if he has been bewitched by an evil spirit, even if he has a good official luck, he is afraid.
First of all, his Anxi County has a good reputation and was rated as an advanced county of national civilization. He was also inexplicably promoted, and was transferred from Qing'an Mansion to the capital, and came to the center of power, even though it was only a small county. Ling, but at this age, if you can sit in the position of the capital order, you are not sure what position you will be promoted to in the future!
Originally, he thought that as long as he was conscientious and did his job well, anyway, he was familiar with the set in Anxi County, and copied it. After a few years, he made some political achievements, and I am afraid that he would be able to come into His Majesty's eyes.
But who the hell would have thought that how long had passed, before the seat under his butt was hot, he was summoned by His Majesty for a day trip to the court, and when he returned to the county government, His Majesty's imperial decree And the reward also came down.
Originally, because he was an outsider, he would be squeezed out by the county magistrate and others from time to time. When he received the order just now, he saw that the county magistrate's face turned pale with fright, and he naturally felt a burst of pride in his heart.
When he came out of the palace just now, Mr. Dong also praised him a lot and said a lot of words of encouragement.
When Master Dong was the magistrate of Qing'an, he was the magistrate of Anxi County, and now he is working under Master Dong, so he can be regarded as a backer. As the son-in-law of Prime Minister Shen, someone highly valued by His Majesty, Sir Dong's official career will certainly not stop. In a mere Jing Zhaoyin's...
The recent happy event is not limited to this one, the incompetent boy in his family is also very upbeat, and he passed the admissions examination of the School of Mathematical Sciences, and his father will no longer have to worry about his future.
"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!" County magistrate Liu sat in the hall and took a sip of tea, and then a person walked in from the door, and congratulated him with a happy face.
County magistrate Liu waved his hand. Although Zhao Butou is far inferior to Liu Yishou, he is exquisite and talented, and he is one of his few confidantes. He asked, "How is the matter going?"
Zhao Butou immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord. This subordinate has already visited all the Goulan in Beijing. Now there is no Goulan to perform those plays. All the manuscripts sold on the street will be brought back and destroyed."
County Magistrate Liu took another sip of tea, and then said: "The imperial court has been paying close attention to this matter in the past few days, you have to keep an eye on it, and once you find out, you will never tolerate it!"
"Yes! The subordinates know!" Zhao Butou showed hesitation on his face, and said again: "My lord, although we have done a good job on the surface, there are still some people who secretly sell the book, and they have been banned repeatedly. It is impossible to completely ban it."
"It's enough to do a good job on the bright side." County magistrate Liu stood up and said.
That unknown person with ulterior motives used these sensitive dramas to stir up women in Kyoto. Can't afford anything. Splashes.
Walking out the door, County Magistrate Liu curled his lips. Those dramas are nonsense. They are simply nonsense. What kind of women should pursue free love? Poisoned by dirty thoughts.
However, there is one thing that Her Royal Highness still has to listen to. Yun'er is only fourteen this year, and she originally planned to make a marriage for her this year, but now it seems that it is better to postpone it for another two years.
Walking to her daughter's door, she saw that the door was ajar. County magistrate Liu wanted to knock on the door to enter, but saw her daughter lying at the table, motionless for a long time...
"Yun'er, what are you doing?" He walked in with some doubts and asked.
"Ah, Dad, you, why are you here!"
The girl's expression changed when she heard the voice, and she hurriedly closed the book in her hand.
Magistrate Liu glanced away, and suddenly saw the three big characters "The Story of the West Chamber" written on the cover of the book.
