Chapter 158 What? His mother is actually the daughter of Jun Jiuling, a scholar of the Hanlin Academ
Lin Shiyin: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your instructions."
The Seventh Prince looked at his wife with stars in his eyes.
Such a daughter-in-law is so attractive that one can't take their eyes off her.
At that time in Wangyun Tower, he was also attracted by Lin Shiyin.
Lin Shiyin's topic deserves deep consideration by all of them.
At this time, the leading student stood up.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhang Qianhe, believe that the fact that our dynasty has opened up the imperial examinations to both men and women for the first time is a major challenge to our administration. Several students have just mentioned issues concerning people's livelihoods, administration, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the ideological disparity. This will further spur reforms in administration, requiring the efforts of more than one generation."
"At the beginning of our dynasty, there wasn't much legal basis for all of this. The laws of Dayong should also be changed so that there is a legal basis to follow. This will encourage more people to change their ideology."
"The gap between the rich and the poor represents a gap in cognition. Poor peasants, even many students, and even high-level officials, are all trapped in this ideology. Faced with vested interests, it is difficult for them to reform. Although students like Lin and Bai have awakened to this consciousness, people like Yang are still the backbone of our dynasty. Even the middle and lower-level poor peasants, although they may not have much knowledge, are still bound by the ideological traditions since ancient times."
"Students believe that in promoting the cause, the law must be followed to ensure effective implementation. Furthermore, the court needs to arrange for scholars, especially those who are willing to go to the countryside, to humble themselves and teach in the local areas, gradually popularizing the concept."
"Students believe that changes may not be realized quickly in one generation, but after three generations, there will definitely be changes, and only then can a profound and lasting impact be formed."
When Jin Kediyi said this, everyone was stunned.
The students in this class are not just bookworms; each of them has their own ideas.
Whether it is people's livelihood, administration, or laws, they have put forward different ideas.
The emperor nodded. This person who ranked first in the gold exam was indeed the first. His thinking was indeed comprehensive.
The Emperor said: "That's right. Every dynasty has sought development through change. Since this precedent has been set, the law should indeed keep pace."
The Grand Tutor looked at Zhang Qianhe. This boy was very talented and it seemed that he would be the top scorer in this imperial examination.
Zhang Qianhe: "Students also come from rural areas and have a deep understanding of this. They deeply feel the hard work of their mothers, so they are moved to write about it!"
"Father, what is the starting point of the law this little brother is talking about? I'm so confused. Isn't there anything that can't be solved with fists?"
The emperor smiled and said that there was nothing wrong with his daughter's idea.
But if that happens, everyone will respect the strong, and that will be disorder.
If there is disorder, there will be civil unrest. The gap between the rich and the poor and the problems between men and women all require the coordination of yin and yang and their mutual support. They must be bound by the law to avoid chaos.
A country develops to this point by relying on its civilization, not by force.
If relying on force, no matter how strong Dayong's military force is, if it becomes a war machine, the result can be imagined.
Emperor: "Then where do you think we should start?"
Zhang Qianhe originally wanted to start by talking about the gap between the rich and the poor, but he thought of his mother. He originally had an older sister, but because his family did not value his sister, she was later sold to a wealthy family as a slave.
Zhang Qianhe was just born at that time and didn't understand yet, but he remembered that his sister once gave him the candied snacks she had hidden.
He will always remember that when his sister left that day, his mother cried very sadly and his sister also cried very sadly.
Zhang Qianhe: "Students believe that we should put people first. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, men and women should have basic human rights and should not be bought and sold. Prohibiting human trafficking is the top priority. Once discovered, those who commit human trafficking should be severely punished according to the law!"
Zhang Qianhe's words shocked some people in the court.
Including the emperor.
people oriented!
The emperor began to think deeply. Not to mention the officials in the court, there were many slaves and maids in the palace, some of whom were pushed into the palace by their families in exchange for money.
When Godley heard this, he subconsciously looked at the emperor.
He recalled his childhood. His family was poor and had many children. He was the youngest son in the family and was disliked by his family because he loved to eat.
Later, he used his connections to sell him to the palace.
Godley resisted, but he was still young at that time and was sent to the palace by his parents.
As a result, after entering the palace, he never returned home.
Now he is the chief eunuch of the palace and has made a good career. His family once tried to contact him, but when he thought about the days when he was not treated as a human being, he hated his family in his heart.
The other ministers began to talk about it. For them, this was equivalent to losing their rights.
"Those slaves and maids sold themselves to the mansion voluntarily. Is this illegal? Are we going to starve them to death?"
"This Zhang Qianhe thinks things are too simple. If it's really like he says, that everyone is equal, then why should we work so hard? We should just lie down and do nothing."
"I do think it makes sense, but it won't happen overnight. Furthermore, there has never been anything like this in the past dynasties."
"Some of our domestic slaves were bought from abroad through human traffickers. Do they also have to obey the laws he mentioned?"
……
The Emperor said, "Your idea is excellent, but reforming the civil service and laws is fraught with difficulty. If you truly care about the people, I believe you can give it a try. The world belongs to all. If I and my civil and military officials fail to love the people as our own children, how can the people submit to us?"
A great scholar once said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important!
The emperor was well aware of the importance of this matter.
[Hmm, I think I understand a little bit now. This little brother is actually quite pitiful. His sister was neglected by her family and was later sold to a wealthy family as a maid.]
But I'm curious, if this happened to his own family, would he be able to deal with his father impartially?
This little brother seems unaware that his mother was abducted and later brought to their place by human traffickers. His father spent three taels of silver to buy her back.
When the little princess said this, Zhang Qianhe looked at the little princess in the emperor's arms in shock.
This...how is this possible?
Why didn't his mother tell him?
Zhang Qianhe was stunned for a moment.
Bai Jinxi clenched her fists in anger. When she first ran the girls' school, she encountered too many such things.
But her power is limited and she cannot save them all.
Zhang Qianhe wanted to ask more, but he was still in shock and couldn't recover.
Long Xianxian looked at the scroll 666 gave her and fell silent.
"His mother is so miserable! Those human traffickers are so despicable! She used to be a lady from a wealthy family!"
666: "Host, host, please be rational and eat melons. Sometimes it is difficult for victims to escape from the poison of such thoughts."
Long Xianxian was speechless.
"What kind of family did his mother belong to before? Let me see."
Then, 666 unlocked another melon.
"Host, this melon is related to the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. Look!"
[What? His mother is actually the daughter of Jun Jiuling, a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy? This... this is too tragic. His wife cried so hard over her daughter's disappearance that she almost went blind in one eye. Last winter, she missed her daughter and went to the place where she had disappeared in the middle of the night. She fainted from crying and woke up the next day to be found frozen to death!]
After hearing this, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy staggered.
what?
His daughter is still alive?
