The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 575 The voice of dissatisfaction with the emperor
The imperial city was too large, especially after the abolition of the various supervisors, it seemed empty, so only the inner city was kept.

Only through the four gates on the moat, Xuanwu Gate, Xihua Gate, Meridian Gate and Donghua Gate, can enter the inner city.

Therefore, other landscape gardens in the outer city, such as Wansui Mountain and other places are not mentioned. The Taiye Pond, which only covers an area of ​​14 square meters, is no longer Tang Qing'an's unique fishing treasure, but has become a place visited by many people.

Although it is open, but the time is short, the common people are busy with their lives, except for hard work and psychological concerns, they don't care much.

Officials also have concerns, so they don't come much.

There is only one group, and they have no scruples.

There are more than a dozen male and female students, ranging in age, the youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest looks eighteen or nineteen.

They even visited the Chongzhi Hall on purpose, and then went to the Diaoyutai to rest.

They spread a layer of checked muslin cloth with five or six colors on the ground, and the food boxes carried by several male students finally had a place to put them.

The female students carefully took out various snacks and food from the food box one by one, as well as drinking glasses and kettles filled with water.

Not only need to be placed neatly, but also carefully arranged, the position of each item needs to be discussed and debated.

The male students didn't dare to intervene, and were willing to take a break. In short, the final arrangement was pleasing to the eye.

It's a little miraculous that these few ordinary things can have such an effect.

"Old man, we have fruits and pastries here, would you like to taste them?" A young man in the crowd said politely.

Here.

When they came, they saw an old man fishing, followed by an old servant, the two of them were dressed in simple clothes, without the slightest aura of wealth.

Especially the old man, if it wasn't for a servant behind him, people would subconsciously think that he was just an ordinary old man.

The young man was embarrassed, his companions were noisy, he must have disturbed others fishing, it was his act of apology.

The old man's face was full of strangers not to enter, and he ignored people. The old servant behind him was also rude and gave the young man a hard look.

The young man shrugged his shoulders, ignored the two of them, turned around and joined the high-spirited chat of his companions.

"Ugh."

The old man sighed, today is not a peaceful day, every time he goes fishing, someone will disturb him.

Do you want to talk to them so that people don't come to Taiyechi again.

forget it.

Next time I won't come to the Diaoyu Islands, I will look for other places, such a big Taiye Pond can't accommodate a fisherman.

"If you ask me, the emperor has no right to kill people." A clear female voice seemed angry and excited, suppressing the rest of the voice.

The old man turned his head in surprise, and looked at the female student with an angry expression.

It's ugly.

First impression.

I also thought that I can't measure people by their appearance, since the north and the south are originally the darlings of heaven, ordinary people can't compare them.

So he took another look.

If he put aside his prejudices, the old man felt that he should admit that the little girl was indeed not ugly.

There should be no rouge on the female student's face and lips. The old man carefully confirmed that it should be healthy and ruddy.

The eyes are single eyelid and not too big.

What the old man couldn't stand the most was the female student's eyes that were hanging from the tip of her eyes, staring at people wantonly in front of her companions.

The eyes were not gentle at all, but like a wild horse.

After living for such a long time, the old man has passed the troubled years, and he doesn't like this kind of temper more and more.

And although she is not conspicuous, the latest style of Jiangsu skirt is expensive. If it weren't for the youthful vigor on her body, the old man would not bother to take a second look.

"Qin Guiren's death made the emperor very sad. The love between them is commendable, but if the empress hadn't stopped him, the emperor would have killed someone. It's hard for me to accept this kind of emperor." The female student dared to say anything. .

The old servant lowered his head, staring sideways at the female student for a moment of gloom, urging himself to remember this person's appearance.

He is getting older, his memory is not good, and he forgets many things as soon as he looks back. He is afraid that he will forget it later, so he looks at the female student without blinking.

Those clothes are not ordinary people, as long as they are born in a wealthy family, they are not afraid of not being able to find someone.

"Jiahui, be careful with your words."

The young man just now stopped him in a low voice.

"It turns out that the doll's name is Jiahui, and she will really suffer for the family." The old servant smiled, and the old servant's face was full of winning.

"Don't even dare to speak, how can we fight for our own rights? We not only have to speak, but also do things according to the thoughts in our hearts, so that we can live up to this life. Otherwise, what kind of school do we have? If we don't know a word, it is not the best. What?" The female student seemed to have taken gunpowder, and she yelled at everyone.

Several male students did not dare to respond, but among the female students, many voiced their support.

Men are always more rational than women, but who's right.

The old man fell into a daze, thinking about what the female student said.

This is the consequence of education.

Yes.

Whoever is born stipulates that he must be enslaved.

Thoughts are self-existing, and even thoughts are enslaved to oneself, submissive, and the behavior must be the same.

But this is Dashun in the seventeenth century.

Who doesn't say that the emperor is good?
Everyone said that the emperor was the greatest emperor ever, so why did some people still criticize him.

Is it the endless desire of people, or the progress of the times?

The old man was confused.

"The emperor didn't kill people. You can't judge the nature of things based on things that haven't happened." A male student couldn't help retorting.

"But the emperor had the idea of ​​killing someone in his heart, but he was stopped by the queen. If the queen didn't stop him, would he have killed someone?"

The female student didn't even think about it, and immediately refuted endlessly.

"Everyone is equal. This is what we have learned since we were young. My husband said that no one has the right to kill people because of their own emotions. Is it okay for the emperor?"

"But the emperor didn't kill anyone." The male student wanted to convince the female student with facts, but the female student insisted that her thoughts should be discussed.

Neither of the two could convince the other, and the companions couldn't stand it, worried that the two would quarrel, and they were forbidden to bring up this topic again.

"Where do you plan to go after graduation? Do you have any arrangements at home?" Someone asked the seniors who are about to graduate.

"My family has only a hundred acres of land, and I have tried my best to support me to study in the capital, but I have no spare energy to arrange my future."

The oldest young man was not at all embarrassed, and said openly, "I'm going to Guorong Company."

"Do you want to go overseas?" The companions exclaimed.

"Yes, I want to see what it's like overseas."

"It will be very difficult for us to get together after that. I wish you a bright future." The female classmate exposed the truth.

"What about you? Xia Wanchun."

The female classmate paused and asked pretending not to care.

"Me?" The young man at the beginning showed confusion on his face.

Since he was a child, everyone praised him for being smart. He knew the scriptures at the age of five, and he could compose poetry at the age of seven.

His father was an official of the former dynasty, and in order to be loyal to the former dynasty, he had already retired from an official position and lived in seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs.

"I don't know." Xia Wanchun shook his head.

"Why don't you stay in the capital, and I'll ask my father to help you find a job in the household department. It's different now, starting from a small official, you can reach a high position." The female student volunteered.

The reform of the Eastern Domain has attracted a large number of talents, and the speed of development visible to the naked eye over the years has finally prompted Dashun to start to learn from the Eastern Domain even hesitantly.

"I have to think about it." Xia Wanchun neither refused nor agreed.

Several male students showed envious eyes.

Jiahui is from Liaodong, and her family background is good since she was a child. Her grandfather was a student of Jinzhou Military Academy, and her father was an official in the capital.

They had only heard the names of those big bosses, they were veteran figures that they didn't dare to hope to touch.

Her family has a good atmosphere and does not favor boys over girls, so Jiahui has always developed a character that has no scruples.She likes Xia Wanchun, and she doesn't hide herself.

"If you haven't figured out your own path, you should make a living first. No matter what you think in the future, at least get a firm foothold now."

Jiahui knew that Xia Wanchun was from Songjiang, Shanghai. Shanghai has become more and more affluent these years, and it has already moved away from Jinzhou by a long time.

But because of Xia Wanchun's father, Xia's family is going downhill instead, so Xia Wanchun wears very simple clothes and is very economical in school.

According to his father's idea, his good match is not like Xia Wanchun, but Jiahui just likes Xia Wanchun.

Xia Wanchun's talent cannot be concealed, and Jiahui believes that Xia Wanchun will definitely stand out.

Even if he really got nothing, it doesn't matter if he is poor all his life.

Jiahui doesn't pay much attention to money, she wants to spend her whole life with the one she loves, instead of following the marriages chosen by her family like the sisters she knew when she was young.

"Huh." Xia Wanchun took a long breath.

The.

The school books are also finished.

But where is his own path? Because he has seen too much, he has no choice.

"Thank you, I will think about it carefully." Xia Wanchun never gave Jiahui an answer, and Jiahui didn't ask any more questions.

Youth worry is also enviable.

Xia Wanchun.

Why does this name sound familiar? The old man felt that there would be no harvest today, so he put away his fishing rod and left.

The old servant hurriedly carried the bait box on his back, picked up the empty wooden barrel in one hand, and picked up the fishing net rod in the other, and followed the old man's footsteps.

"Don't take revenge on that female student, or I will be unhappy."

The old man looked at his servant who had been with him for most of his life, and explained carefully.

"That girl's mouth is full of disrespect to the saint, which shows that her family tradition is unfaithful, her accent is still from Liaodong, how dare she do that." Zhou Ji's expression was unfair.

"Liaodong, it should be so." The old man said calmly.

Compared with China, Liaodong has developed longer, and new learning has been promoted earlier, a whole generation longer than China.

Isn't that what he wants.

Is it going to enter an era when everyone is afraid of imperial power, just like the Qing Dynasty in history, people can only praise the emperor, but not blame the emperor, otherwise they will usher in the disaster of extinction.

Hearing the female student's accusations against him, the old man was confused and angry for a while, but he was always Tang Qing'an.

Qin Keqing advised him to let go and not to bear too many things that made him unhappy, but how could he really let go.

Even if there are more and more people who blame themselves like schoolgirls, the old man will only continue to encourage them.

because.

This is the ambition of the old man in his life.

What is civilization? Everyone has their own interpretation, and there will be no unified understanding.But everyone can come up with their own interpretation and discuss it.

"The emperor is so merciful that people dare to talk about the emperor's affairs at the edge of the imperial city. It will be over in ten or twenty years." Zhou Ji always felt that the emperor did not do well in this regard.

"Aren't you talking about me too?" The old man smiled.

Zhou Ji was stunned, speechless for a long time, and finally stopped persuading the emperor, and gave up liquidating the girl's family.

……

"I came back so early today." Lin Daiyu smiled, and said deliberately: "Let me see what you have gained."

Tang Qing'an spread his hands and explained: "I'm very lucky today, if no one disturbs me, I will definitely surprise you."

"Hehe." Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and sneered.

If Tang Qingan had a good harvest, he would show it off to her all day long, but when the harvest was not good, he would never mention it.

When Lin Daiyu saw Tang Qing'an's movements, she knew that he hadn't caught anything today, so she purposely raised her anger at him.

"What are you laughing at? I'm not talking big." Tang Qing'an was full of dissatisfaction.

"I laugh at you for being old and disobedient."

"You're old too."

"Where am I getting old, tell me about it." Lin Daiyu turned around generously.

Lin Daiyu was born in a wealthy family, she was well-bred since she was a child, and she is also a beauty of Zhong Ling. Although she is in her thirties, she is still in her prime, the most attractive stage of a young woman.

Compared with the beauty when she was young, not only does she not lose one point now, but she is also more mature and attractive.

But Tang Qing'an wouldn't admit defeat, and said with a cold snort, "Those who went to Taiye Pond to play today, there are female students who are no worse than you."

"As beautiful as me?" Daiyu immediately caught the loophole in Tang Qing'an's words.

Not worse than her, not to admit that she is beautiful.

Under the sunshine of early spring, Tang Qing'an saw that the hair of the hair was shining brightly, the face was rosy, and the tiny blood vessels were hidden under the skin.

Under the long eyelashes, the black eyes seem to move but not move, seem still and not still.A small and delicate nose, two moist and thin lips.

"Well, you are actually more beautiful." Tang Qing'an finally told the truth.

"Giggle."

The frowner smiled triumphantly.

In the boring palace, only bullying Tang Qing'an is fun.

next month.

The emperor issued an edict, and the prince supervised the country.

All the affairs of the cabinet only need to be discussed with the prince, not through the emperor; since then, officials have never seen the emperor on formal occasions.

The prince will supervise the country soon.

The first thing is to establish universities across the country.

The second thing is to increase business taxes and tariffs.

The third thing is to reduce agricultural taxes and cancel central labor.

The fourth thing is to fight.

King Annan did not respond for a long time, whether to submit to Dashun, the cabinet no longer had expectations, and unanimously agreed to attack the ruler of Annan.
