Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and fifty slaves
I can’t believe what I heard in my ears. The emperor and the princess are like brothers and sisters of ordinary people, and they will quarrel about some trivial things! Will be as cold as the sisters of ordinary people!
And the emperor turned out to be like the elder brother of ordinary people, he would look at his grinning sister with a smile, and then just look at her indifferently without giving any explanation.
... Could it be that we met a fake emperor and a fake princess? It was as if two people in the dreamland had such thoughts in their hearts.
After a while, when the two women thought that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was eaten to death by his sister and would not make any excuses, the emperor actually spoke, and what he said almost made them both The shocking chin fell off.
"Are you annoying? Do you want to be beaten again? Don’t you just think I dragged you out? If the queen knows that you took mine out Things have shaken out, let's see who the queen will speak for? Don't get cheap and behave." The emperor spoke like a rogue in the market. It turned out to be used for intimidation and threats.
"Huh, let’s not talk about that, but what about today? You ask Pei Wanying to deal with your son, do you know that you want to release water, okay? He’s embezzled, he's an official, Suizhou Officials, except for Guo Jingzhi, the other officials are Pei Qing’s confidantes and they all gave Pei Qing money. I see, Guo Jingzhi, who you have high hopes for, is afraid that it is because there is no money to give away. , That’s why it was revealed that Pei Qing accepted bribes. If he has the money to send it, he...I don’t know yet..."
"Can you not treat a gentleman like a villain? Do you think that there are no upright officials in this world? Don't Chen Jingzhi and Pei Xingjian count? How can people be greedy for a lifetime? He Pei Why did Qing use Li Ye? I’m the emperor, he’s the emperor? Why did Qing worry about my family affairs and think about the reserve for me!"
"Yes, even if Pei Qing is wrong, but you, the emperor, did the right thing? Let your own queen handle..."
"Shut up, you." Li Hong picked up an orange on the table, and stuffed it into Li Lingyue's mouth without peeling it, and then watched Li Lingyue's desperate posture, holding down the pair to pinch her waist Soft hands, sighed and said: "This is not something that can't be helped..."
"Come less, you are an excuse, there is still something you can't do in this world? Oh, it's really new."
"Can you give me another one?"
"I didn't have huh, okay?" Li Lingyue was softened, and he didn't know why he was so sensitive to huh, and it was not a curse, which was inexplicable.
Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang kept their heads down. They couldn’t believe that the emperor and the princess were sitting across from them. This kind of scene and dialogue completely subverted their cognition, and they had nothing to do with the emperor they imagined. meets the.
doesn’t it mean that the emperor is the most powerful person in the world? Everyone had to be scared when they saw it, and they had to be cautious and waited on them. Why did the princess dare to quarrel and quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor? And his Majesty even beats people?
The two women trembling, lowered their heads, fearing that the emperor and princess on the opposite side might find the doubt in their eyes.
"I also had no way to let Pei Wanying deal with it. By the way, Huameng, first go to the place where the food and the envoy of the country stayed." Li Hong knocked on the car window, and after speaking to the outside, he returned I continued to look at the bulging cheeks and said to Li Lingyue, who was unwilling to talk to the contemptuous Li Lingyue: "Da Shi and the Japanese Kingdom, and other envoys have just arrived in Chang'an not long ago. If such scandals like Pei Qing and others are known to them, they may not be able to determine these How will the individual goods be used to make a fuss? I don’t know what moths they will come up with. Besides, I put King Li Chengji’s Mausoleum and King Li Nan Donghai first. In case I get caught by the big food and the Japanese kingdom, I will take the crown prince. At that time, they will not be able to determine what advantage they will take, so it is the most appropriate way to leave the matter to Pei Wanying or you to assist Li Ye."
"Then why don’t you give it to me? See if I don’t spit out the bitterness of the surname Pei. Since Suizhou took office, everything looks good on the bright side, but since Guo Jingzhi accepted him After the bribery was exposed, it was discovered that even the people of Suizhou hated him, let alone the officials on the ground in Suizhou. Who is Pei Wanliang’s name in Suizhou?
No one knows, no one knows! Right, do you know the nickname Pei Wanliang? "Li Lingyue said in the end, looking at the red sleeve who had been bowing his head and said to Tianxiang.
The two women had been uneasy. The things they heard in the carriage seemed to be things in another world, and the trivial things in the building that they thought were already huge. To them, it is completely different from all things.
And even if they serve some dignitaries and wealthy families in the building on weekdays, even if it’s a banquet between officialdom officials, it’s not like the emperor and the princess in front of them. The officials who were originally in their eyes are above all at this moment. They are just like the eyes of those officials, they are so small and worthless.
As for Pei Qing, for Hong Xiu Tianxiang, that is the person who can dominate their lives and deaths. Now they both jumped up. If one day we can see Pei Qing again, their status will be The situation, I am afraid they will be adjusted one by one, it is not that they are afraid of Pei Qing, but that Pei Qing should nod and bow to them and try to please them.
"The concubine has been in the building, so... so I haven't heard of it." Tian Xiang was a little bolder, and boldly responded to Li Lingyue's words.
"Then you guys don't go out to relax on weekdays? Don't you go outing outside Chang'an City or go outing in Qujiangchi and other places?" Li Lingyue said when facing Hongxiu Tianxiang, his tone was better than facing Datang The emperor was much gentler.
"On weekdays...On weekdays, Master Pei will not let us go out at will, and that Wang Shishi will not. Even if we come in and out occasionally, we still follow Master Pei to some adults’ residences to cheer up." The answer is still Tim. Fragrant.
"Then you are in Chang'an, but have you been to many officials' homes? The other girls in the building are not missing, right?" This time it was replaced by Li Hong and asked.
"Yes. The girls in the building will all go, and those oiran who were applauded in Chang'an City...sometimes...will be left behind, and will be sent back in a few days, or the next day. We were sent back. And sometimes, even the cooks and others in the building would follow along. For example, if an official’s family had a happy event, Master Pei would ask Shishi Wang to take us there.” Tian Xiang continued. , And the red sleeves on the side also help to make up for some omissions from time to time.
"Tsk, the pomp is really big, this is the official family, the slaves are subordinate, in their eyes, they are not human at all. The girl in the building, has there been no news after going there, and did not come back Yes?" Li Hong glanced at Li Lingyue, Li Lingyue obviously didn't understand Li Hong's sigh.
The existence of family slaves has always existed, not only in the current dynasty, but also in the previous dynasty. Even the big man will only be worse than the current dynasty. The trading of slaves and life and death are like death rules. Like a watchdog.
And let alone domestic slaves, the status gap between the wife and the concubine is also extremely disparity. The main room has absolute and non-rebellious rights in the same family. Although both the wife and the wife serve the same person, The wife can decide the life or death of the concubine, and even the government has no way to pursue it. After all, these people are not in the household registration of Datang, but only exist as a commodity or livestock, attached to the owner's family.
In history, Wang Bo, the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, killed concubines. Even at banquets between officials, it was common for some concubines to take turns in the master’s house. If the family is willing, they can give it away.
As for the life and death of the concubine in the back, the host’s family will not pay attention to it anymore. The guest figure is tired of being fresh for a while, and then he is given away. After changing hands several times, the identity of the concubine is like an animal. No one cares anymore, and finally being thrown naked in a mass grave is not unheard of.
Therefore, Hongxiu and Tianxiang can be admired by the royal family from the Shengyun Building, and then taken away by the royal family immediately. For them, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity to be born again and be able to be human. It is also the reason why the two women can't believe that all this is true until now.
"Yes." The red sleeves lowered his head and dared not look at Li Hong, but he nodded quietly and replied.
"A lot?" Li Hong asked again, and the two women's little hands were secretly twisting their cuffs. Obviously, the two women were still extremely nervous at the moment.
"In the beginning, there were two or three times a month~IndoMTL.com~ Then it gradually disappeared. Some of the girls in the building recognized it, and then this is...slowly adapting." Hong Xiu said It was quieter, but fortunately, it was quiet in the carriage and could be heard by all four.
"You don't want to ban..." Li Lingyue asked with some worry, her eyes widening.
"Why not? Class shouldn’t exist, people should be born equal, and no one should be noble or inferior than anyone else? Isn’t it all? It’s the parents or the parents, which one Isn’t human beings in the eyes of their parents? Domestic slaves do not ban it. Even if my Datang is rich and powerful, it’s just a powerful appearance..."
"But... this is not a trivial matter. If you want to get rid of this, you are not just fighting against the wealthy and honorable people headed by the five surname and Qiwang, but with... and...." Li Lingyue was short-lived. If the emperor really made up his mind to do this, it would be doing it right with the whole world!
Imagine that a slave who had no household registration and could be bought and sold suddenly became a commoner, and could also have land and household registration, and became a real Datang citizen.
In this way, the ultimate benefit is that no matter how many domestic slaves they have in their hands, or they own hundreds of domestic slave-class families.
More importantly, even the rich landlords of rural villages have a lot of domestic slaves in their hands. Although they are different from the domestic slaves in the city, the nature is exactly the same. In the eyes of the rural villages, the domestic slaves are the same as the domestic animals, and even eat and live with the real animals. They are human and not human.
