Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 128 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 53

After venting their desires, the two began to talk about serious matters.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Yinzhen briefly told Kangxi what he had said. After he finished speaking, Le Shu was silent for a moment, then said: "Life is long and short. I hope that when I am old, I will still have you by my side."

In his previous life, when Yinzhen was old, his most trusted younger brother passed away before him, he became estranged from the queen and also passed away before him, and his son was not very close to him. He was surrounded by flatterers, but he was truly a lonely man.

"Yes, I will."

The Kong family will definitely have troubles later, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

The two began to enter a new "battlefield".

Industry can start to take root.

Then the common people in the capital found that their lives were changing day by day. There were more and more things they could do. There were more and more workshops in the Qing Dynasty, and they were recruiting workers. At first, most of them were men. Later, they found that there were too many workers and not enough men. Women gradually began to do things that only men could do.

When women have the ability to make money, they have the confidence to speak. They see the world outside the gate and start to have their own thoughts. Le Shu took the opportunity to build the first women's college in the capital.

It is basically impossible to achieve complete equality in gender relations. It is just like the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

No matter how fair it is, it is only relative.

Le Shu didn't think she could accomplish such a thing in her lifetime.

She is not a great person, but just a miracle who is quite smart and walked into history from the future. She is just doing what she can in this era, and she also knows that too much is as bad as too little.

It’s important to go with the flow.

Throughout history, there have been women's colleges, but they never lasted long. Why?

Le Shu felt that the momentum was not enough.

Productivity is too low. There is an overall difference in physical strength between men and women. The physiological structure causes men and women to have different divisions of labor, and the low productivity makes men generally more fit for survival than women.

If the awakening of female consciousness is forced from top to bottom, it may only be temporary. However, if this consciousness is from bottom to top, it will form a momentum that is unstoppable.

This is the truth: those who follow the trend of the times will prosper, while those who go against it will perish.

This women's college was built in this way, even though many people said it was disrespectful to society, it was still built.

The purpose of establishing the academy is to gather this momentum, allowing them to form powerful "weapons" more quickly and then break through the shackles.

Improving the status of women cannot be achieved overnight. It is a long-term "cause" that requires the efforts of several generations.

In the tenth year of Yongzheng's reign, the customs of the Qing Dynasty had changed drastically compared to the Kangxi period, and Kangxi sat on a newly made mechanical wheelchair in the Gewuyuan.

It certainly cannot be compared with modern wheelchairs, but it can free Kangxi from the situation where he needs someone to push him all the time.

Most of the time, he was pushed by people around him, but Kangxi didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others, so he particularly liked this wheelchair.

So Kangxi took the initiative to say to Yinzhen for the first time: "Send Chang over. I want to see your queen."

In fact, Kangxi did not agree with Yinzhen's deposing and reinstating the empress.

In history, there were actually quite a few emperors who deposed their empresses. For example, Queen Hu of the previous dynasty was deposed without any fault, and as a result, a "figure" called Queen Sun emerged. If it were not for Yu Qian's efforts to turn the tide against the son of Queen Sun, the Ming Dynasty would probably have become the Southern Ming Dynasty and the second Song Dynasty.

Kangxi was afraid that Yinzhen would become Zhu Zhanji.

Kangxi didn't like people seeing his old and frail appearance, and he rarely attended banquets. He had met Le Shu, but Kangxi mostly ignored her.

He would not go against Yinzhen, the emperor who did a good job, especially when it was certain that he had lost his political life. He would not do anything foolish. Of course, Yinzhen's meticulous "care" for him also made it impossible for him to do anything foolish.

He just resisted silently.

Does Le Shu know what Kangxi means?

Of course she knew it, Kangxi showed it so obviously! But she didn't care.

But she didn't expect that Kangxi would take the initiative to see her.

According to etiquette, Kangxi is the eunuch. If he wants to see Le Shu, she cannot refuse, will not refuse, and there is no need to refuse.

Le Shu was led by the eunuch to a pavilion, where Kangxi was sitting. He looked thin and old. The years had left too many marks on this emperor, but from a distance, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.

"Greetings to the Emperor Father, may the Emperor Father be blessed with good health and good health."

"The queen is here, please sit down."

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

Le Shu sat on a nearby stone pier.

Kangxi waved his hand again, and the palace servants who were serving around him left. They were still within sight, but their voices could probably no longer be heard.

Le Shu's heart inevitably sank.

Le Shu didn't understand Kangxi. In fact, she didn't think about studying him. Yinzhen's ascension to the throne was so smooth because he had planned it well. He understood Kangxi and his brothers. Le Shu didn't need to spend energy to understand what kind of person Kangxi was.

Previously, Kangxi had been resistant to her becoming the queen, so she felt puzzled when Kangxi wanted to see her this time. She also saw that he avoided the palace maids, which made her a little nervous.

The palace maids left. Kangxi didn't speak, and Le Shu adhered to the principle of "I won't move unless the enemy does", so she didn't speak either.

After a long while, Kangxi finally spoke: "You are more patient than I thought."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I just don't know what to say to you, Your Majesty?" Le Shu said respectfully.

Kangxi smiled and said: "Neither humble nor arrogant, no wonder the fourth brother made you the queen, you two are very similar."

Upon hearing this, Le Shu was puzzled. Does she look like Yinzhen?

She doesn't think so.

Seeing her doubt, Kangxi continued: "You are nervous about me, but not afraid. You have no reverence for the imperial power. I recently discovered that the fourth son has no reverence for the emperor either."

Kangxi was the emperor for decades, and only when he was in office did he realize that the emperor was the one who had the greatest respect for imperial power.

Imperial power is a sword that can kill anyone, enemies, villains, friends, relatives, and even oneself.

Because they have no reverence, they act boldly.

Kangxi knew that the Qing Dynasty was developing very well, but he still felt that something was wrong because Yinzhen was too risky.

Yinzhen and Le Shu are walking on a proven correct path, but from Kangxi's perspective, what they are doing is comparable to what the First Emperor did, opening up a new path.

Was what the First Emperor did right?

From the perspective of a Qing Dynasty emperor, this is correct. All dynasties have followed the Qin Dynasty's policies, which was left by the First Emperor to future generations.

But the result?

The Qin Dynasty perished in the second generation. Although it was due to the unhuman behavior of Hu Hai, the Qin Dynasty did have many problems. A new "thing" is bound to bring uncertainty. What is good for future generations may not necessarily be good for the current rulers.

Even if Fusu succeeded to the throne, he might not be able to turn the tide. The problems of the Qin Dynasty were very complicated.

The First Emperor prepared wedding clothes for Liu Bang, and Liu Bang inherited the First Emperor's political "legacy".

The Qing Dynasty is developing very well now, no doubt about that, but Kangxi is afraid! The emergence of new things makes him feel a little crazy, and he is afraid that the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed by the madness hidden behind it.

Le Shu was silent for a moment and then said, "Father Emperor, do you think that I have done something wrong?"

What she actually wanted to ask was, didn’t Yinzhen do well enough?

Kangxi shook his head: "I am afraid that you will destroy the foundation of our ancestors."

Le Shu then said something very bold and impertinent: "Father Emperor, since the Qin Dynasty, there has not been a dynasty that lasted more than three hundred years. The ancestral foundation you mentioned will eventually be destroyed. Rights should be equal to obligations. The dynasty system guarantees the absolute rights of the emperor, but there are no clear regulations on obligations.

Such rights cannot be fully guaranteed by the Confucian saying that the ruler is the ruler, the subject is the subject, the father is the father, the son is the son. The emperor's wisdom or not determines whether the government can be stable and the people can live and work in peace during his reign.

When a tyrant takes control of the imperial power, it will face destruction and rebirth, and this cycle will repeat itself. As everyone says, wealth cannot last for more than three generations. The change of power means that the imperial power cannot last forever if its obligations are not clear enough.
