Chapter 87 To save Li Xiangjun's life
I heard that I wanted to name the new yamen, so these four literary and teenagers fell into trouble.
If the name you chose is adopted by the emperor, it would be extremely honorable. Not only will it be glorious now, but it will be glorious in the future, because this name will be included in the history books.
"Your Majesty, I think it should be called the 'feminist temple', so the main function of the yamen is to protect women's rights." Gu Yanwu is a typical feminist and naturally thinks that the name of "feminist" is the most appropriate.
"Not good, bad, too straightforward, it doesn't sound beautiful." Guizhuang shook his head and denied it when he heard this: "It's better to call it 'Hongxiu Temple', which is both beautiful and catchy and has profound meaning."
Zhu Youlang almost laughed when he heard this and said to himself: "Hongxiu Temple? Are you so eager to study in Hongxiu Tianxiang at night? Does Qiao Lala suffer a lot?"
"No, no. The names you both chose are inappropriate. The Book of Songs says: "There is a squid head and a melodious smile." It is better to call it "The Eyebrow Temple." Huang Zongxi even denied the two of them.
"Yemei Temple? Why does it sound like Emei Peak? Huang Zongxi, are you sure it is not Yu Zecheng?" When Zhu Youlang heard this name, he couldn't help but think of a famous TV series in later generations.
"Your Majesty, the function of the new yamen is to speak out for women and stand up for the bullied women. As for women's liberation, from the root to achieve economic independence and marriage freedom, it is obvious that these two things cannot be achieved. This is a problem of challenging ethics, a problem of changing old customs, but concepts, and a problem of women's self-independence. At the root, it is necessary to change customs. Therefore, from the perspective of the minister, it can be called "Xinfeng Temple". "The way of the king.
When Zhu Youlang heard this, Wang Fuzhi felt more deeply. The names of the three of them were a little simple, and in the final analysis, they did not have a deep understanding of women's liberation.
"The view of Qitian is very consistent with my wishes. The new yamen not only needs to speak out and protect rights, but also have to undertake the task of changing old concepts. For example, it can run a women's school to improve the overall quality of women; it can also run a special newspaper to shout for women. I think it's called 'Chongxin Temple'." Zhu Youlang said.
"Your Majesty is wise!" When the emperor slapped the board, the four ministers were secretly convinced.
In fact, the smartest one is Wang Fuzhi.
Although he is the youngest, he has a delicate heart.
When he was named "Xinfeng Temple", he left the emperor with a room for his knowledge.
Although the word is changed, "Chongxin Temple" is obviously more clever than "Xinfeng Temple". It not only gives the emperor room to show off, but also does not prevent his name from spreading to future generations with the birth of this new yamen. It is truly extremely clever.
...
The Chongxin Temple was established and Qin Liangyu was appointed as the temple minister and Dong Qiongying was the Shaoqing's order, and public opinion in the court was in an uproar.
Although most ministers did not dare to object in public, they were extremely disdainful in their hearts. Some even beat their wives when they returned home and shouted: "If you have the ability to go to Chongxin Temple to report, see if Chongxin Temple has the ability to manage my family affairs?"
Zhu Youlang had expected the difficulty of implementing the new policy. However, such "domestic violence" matters are difficult to manage. Even in later generations, the people will not sue the officials or investigate them.
So, even though he knows that some people are dissatisfied with the new policy, he is not easy to care about, so he can only turn a blind eye and take it slowly.
With tigress like Qin Liangyu and Dong Qiongying, there is no need to worry about not being able to open up the situation.
It depends on which unlucky guy hit the tip of her two of them first.
As expected, less than ten days later, Qin Liangyu submitted a memorial, impeaching Hou Xun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, torture his son's concubine Wu.
When Zhu Youlang saw this note, he was happy and thought to himself: "No, Qin Liangyu chose this breakthrough point well. Well, since you have chosen Hou Xun, then try your firepower."
"The imperial edict will be sent, and the court meeting will be held tomorrow at the hour of the year. Six ministries and ten ministers and officials above the Shaoqing will attend." Zhu Youlang immediately issued an edict.
Hou Xun was the father of Hou Fangyu, one of the famous "Four Princesses of the late Ming Dynasty". He served as the Minister of Revenue in the Chongzhen Dynasty. After Emperor Chongzhen passed away, he returned to his hometown in Henan to live.
Hou Fangyu was recommended by Chen Zhenhui and served as a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy of Yongli Dynasty. In March this year, he went to Beijing with his parents and his family.
Because Hou Xun and Qu Shisi were old, they were sixty-two years old, not too old, and they were quite talented in governing affairs, they were recommended to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhu Youlang also knew about the incident of Hou Xun's abuse of his concubine Wu when Qin Liangyu reported.
The Wu family did not have the surname Wu, but Li, and was Li Xiangjun, one of the famous "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai". Because of her prostitute, she was afraid that she would not tolerate her father. When Hou Fangyu took her back from Nanjing to her hometown in Henan, she lied that her surname was Wu and covered up her true identity.
Li Xiangjun has experienced too much suffering and cherishes her current life very much. In addition, she is very good at being a human being, and she has a very good relationship with the Hou family.
Somehow, since she came to Nanjing, her identity was exposed. Hou Xun was furious and drove her to a thatched hut outside the city to temporarily stay in a hut despite her pregnancy.
This is what Qin Liangyu reported.
The reason why Zhu Youlang wanted to hold a conference was to use this matter to make Chongxin Temple stand up to its authority and support Qin Liangyu, and at the same time, blow up the new wind of women's liberation.
Moreover, he really sympathized with Li Xiangjun and was unwilling to see her die of depression. In real history, Li Xiangjun died because of this incident and was only thirty years old when she died.
Li Xiangjun is not the best among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai", regardless of her talent or beauty, but her strong personality is admirable.
This matter has to start with Ruan Dacheng.
Ruan Dacheng is very talented, but his character is very low and despised by scholars.
He wanted to win over Hou Fangyu into the temple, so he borrowed someone else's hand and lent Hou Fangyu a sum of money as a cage silver, which led to good things between Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun. Later, when Li Xiangjun learned about this, he did not want Hou Fangyu to be with Ruan Dacheng, so he sold all the money and helped Hou Fangyu pay back the money, which made Ruan Dacheng's plan fail.
Ruan Dacheng held a grudge from this.
After Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, he appointed Ruan Dacheng, and he took the opportunity to frame Hou Fangyu.
At the instigation of Ruan Dacheng, Tian Yang, a great celebrity from the Hongguang Dynasty, came to welcome Li Xiangjun as a concubine. Li Xiangjun refused to obey, and Tian Yang insisted on insisting. She simply hit the railing and blood splattered on the fan that Hou Fangyu gave her. Seeing that a murder occurred, the married man had to carry the sedan chair back in shame.
Hou Fangyu's friend Yang Longyou used the blood dot to draw a tree of peach blossoms in the fan.
This is the famous story of the "Blood Splashing Poetry Fan".
Zhu Youlang was respectful and admired for such a person, and was about to save her life but was struggling to have no chance.
Isn't this a chance?
He also expected that Hou Xun was the kind of person who wanted to be extremely face-saving. He probably didn't want everyone to know about Li Xiangjun. This not only concerns the face of his Hou family, but also concerns his son's future. Therefore, he will definitely surrender in the end.
Of course, it depends on Qin Liangyu's firepower.
If Qin Liangyu had fucked Hou Xun, there would be no need to say anything. If it weren't for the treacherous Hou Xun's opponent, I'm afraid he would have helped her at that time.
