Chapter 435: Top Love Brain (1)
The original owner was a princess who was talented and ambitious. She defeated several brothers with her own abilities, and ascended the throne against all odds, becoming the first empress of the Dayan Dynasty.
And the status of women in society was improved from top to bottom, allowing women to step out of the inner house, engage in various industries, and even take the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court.
Many people said that the original owner rebelled against Tiangang and wanted to overthrow the original owner.
But the original owner was strong-willed and decisive in killing, and was even cold-blooded and ruthless towards his own uncle.
Many people were scared, and the voices gradually faded away.
The original owner was the empress for twenty years, and eventually passed the throne to her only daughter Xu Linlang.
I thought she would inherit my will and continue to be the empress.
However, she did not expect that she believed her husband Zhang Ruicheng's lies and gave the throne to Zhang Ruicheng, and retired to the inner palace to become a virtuous queen.
After Zhang Ruicheng came to power, he overturned all the policies that the original owner had implemented to improve the status of women, and further imprisoned women, forcing them to bind their feet and read women's virtues...
They also gave the original owner an unlucky title, erased the original owner's historical achievements, and added rumors about the original owner's character.
Some people who believed in the original owner could not bear to see this and told Xu Linlang what Zhang Ruicheng had done.
Xu Linlang didn't care, and even said with disdain: "It shouldn't be like this. Women should abide by their duties, take care of their husbands and children at home, and work hard. Those are not what good women should do."
He then informed Zhang Ruicheng and killed all the people left behind by the original owner.
later,
Zhang Ruicheng was recorded in history books as an emperor who turned the tide.
Xu Linlang also became a virtuous queen recorded in history books.
The original owner became a sinner who brought disaster to Dayan Dynasty.
*
Xu Linlang pushed the book in front of her away. Xu Jinhuan rushed in and complained, "Mother, I don't want to read these books. They are really annoying. Why should I learn these?"
I heard that these are things that only boys will learn in the future, and girls don’t need to learn them at all, they just need to dress themselves up.
My mother is really something. I made myself suffer so much and I want her to be so tired too.
Xu Jinhuan looked at the university in front of Xu Linlang. The original owner was quite nice to her. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to learn it, so she even wrote a written approval.
But the pair of seductive eyes were completely thrown to the blind, and Xu Linlang did not understand the original owner's good intentions at all.
Her thoughts are completely different from those of the original owner.
She is totally unworthy of being the original owner's successor.
Looking at Xu Linlang's expectant eyes, Xu Jinhuan said slowly: "Since you don't want to learn, don't learn it. Go out and play!"
Xu Linlang:!!!
real or fake?
Is the Queen Mother teasing her?
Xu Linlang stood up from where she was committing the crime and asked tentatively, "Mother, did I really go there?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and waved his hand, "Go! You don't have to come here to study anymore."
Xu Linlang had a bad feeling in her heart, but it was quickly replaced by the excitement of going out to play.
"Can I go out of the palace to play with my cousin?"
"sure!"
Xu Jinhuan nodded happily.
Xu Linlang left the palace with a look of joy on her face, and as soon as she left the palace, she went straight to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.
The original owner's mother was the second daughter of the Ningguo Mansion. Later, she was selected into the palace and became the Emperor's Ning Concubine. After giving birth to the original owner, she was named Ning Fei.
When she became pregnant again, she was plotted against by the concubines in the harem and died of complications during childbirth.
The first thing the original owner did after taking the throne was to make Concubine Ning the queen and gave her a nice-sounding title.
The second thing was to let Concubine De, who had harmed Concubine Ning, be buried with Concubine Ning, and to let Concubine De's son guard the imperial tomb for Concubine Ning.
The third thing was to refute Duke Ningguo because he forced the original owner to abdicate and give way to someone more capable.
The original owner thought, I have worked so hard to get the throne, if you ask me to abdicate, I will.
Then the Ningguo Duke's Mansion was directly downgraded to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion.
The hereditary system of titles was also abolished.
The Marquis of Ningguo was so angry at the original owner that he suffered a stroke and gave the title to his eldest son.
The original owner ignored her because she saw that the new Ningguo Marquis was well-behaved.
However, it was unknown when Xu Linlang started to have a good relationship with the Ningguo Marquisate.
The secret guard reported Xu Linlang's whereabouts to Xu Jinhuan in detail.
Xu Jinhuan: "Don't report anything about Xu Linlang to me anymore."
The secret guard was puzzled, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he retreated.
The original owner knew the dangers of childbirth for women, so after ascending the throne for many years, he only gave birth to one daughter, Xu Linlang.
He also attached great importance to her and often stayed by her side to cultivate her, but she was no match for the occasional brainwashing by the Ningguo Marquisate.
idiot!
Xu Jinhuan threw the memorial in front of him, which contained the document requesting Xu Linlang to be made the Crown Princess, to the ground.
She, Xu Linlang, is not irreplaceable.
There are so many talented, capable, ambitious women in the world.
She summoned a few confidants and told them her plan to set up an imperial academy in Kyoto and recruit talented women from the Dayan Dynasty to come to Beijing to study at the imperial academy and then work in the court. The most outstanding of them would become the emperor, and the rest could serve as officials.
Several trusted ministers looked at each other, bowed in response, and began to formulate regulations.
These people have all taught Xu Linlang.
I also know that she is an idiot.
I just don't know what stupid thing this idiot did to anger His Majesty.
Let Your Majesty choose another one when she is the only heir.
Xu Linlang still didn't know that she was excluded from the throne.
She was very happy at the moment because she met her lover Zhang Ruicheng.
The two met a year ago. At that time, she secretly went out to play and was accidentally fooled by some playboys. It was Zhang Ruicheng who came out to help her out.
From then on, whenever she encountered something unhappy, she would entrust him to write a letter, and he would write back to comfort her and never showed impatience.
He was like light, illuminating her world oppressed by her mother.
Seeing Zhang Ruicheng, she didn't care about her princess demeanor at all, and ran out jumping and shouting in a clear voice: "Brother Ruicheng!"
Zhang Ruicheng smiled and hummed, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and said lovingly, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."
Xu Linlang said coquettishly: "I just want to see you earlier."
"Don't worry, as long as you want to see me, I will come to see you, no matter how far away I am or what I am doing." Zhang Ruicheng said affectionately.
Xu Linlang smiled shyly.
Zhang Ruicheng asked casually, "By the way, why did you leave the palace today? Aren't you usually studying in the Imperial Study Room at this time?"
"Those books were too boring. I didn't want to learn, so I quit."
Zhang Ruicheng raised his eyebrows: "You sneaked out?"
"No, my mother agreed." Xu Linlang smiled.
I wish my mother would be as understanding in the future.
This... Zhang Ruicheng was surprised.
Their Majesty has always been very strict with his only daughter, Xu Linlang!
Zhang Ruicheng was a cautious person, and immediately had a bad guess. He asked Xu Linlang, "Did you do something to anger His Majesty?"
Xu Linlang: ???
She thought about it and shook her head: "No, maybe my mother is in a good mood today, so she is easier to talk to."
Zhang Ruicheng was a little unconvinced and wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Xu Linlang.
"Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing topics. I heard from the maid that Zui Xiang Lou has recently served many kinds of dishes from the Western Regions. Let's go and eat!"
Zui Xiang Lou is the largest hotel in Kyoto.
The dishes she cooked were not delicious, but they were new to her.
The dishes in the palace were the same year after year, and she was tired of them.
Zhang Ruicheng: …
All he does is eat and eat. It’s a waste of being born into such a good family.
If it were him, he would definitely study various concepts of governing the country very carefully and become an outstanding emperor.
Thinking of his future plans, he smiled and said to Xu Linlang: "If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. Girls should be happy, and those men should be left to men like me."
Xu Linlang was really naive, and she understood Zhang Ruicheng's superficial meaning.
"You are so nice. My mother is the same. She really knows how to make things difficult for herself. I have several imperial uncles..." Xu Linlang's eyes sparkled.
His eyes were filled with clarity and stupidity.
As stupid as a pig!
Zhang Ruicheng couldn't help but comment on Xu Linlang in his heart that if she wasn't the only daughter of the current empress, he probably wouldn't even look at her twice.
The two of them went to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner together.
……
At this time...
Xu Jinhuan hadn't eaten yet, so she asked the palace maid to collect information about Cuiwei Palace where Xu Linlang lived.
She emphasized: "See if there are any letters from outside the palace?"
The maid was very capable and quickly presented a large pile of letters.
Most of them were written by Zhang Ruicheng, and a small part was sent from the Ningguo Marquisate.
The content of the book is to teach Xu Linlang that women are virtuous even if they are not talented... Men are responsible for the outside affairs while women are responsible for the inside affairs... Women in power are like red roosters crowing at dawn...
There are also many books about talented scholars and beautiful women...
"That's great!"
Xu Jinhuan was extremely angry and said in a trembling voice:
"Come here! Draft an imperial decree. The Ningguo Marquis' Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion are trying to corrupt the princess. This is a heinous crime. The masters of the two mansions should be arrested and put in the Sky Prison to await their fate!"
Zhang Ruicheng, who was having dinner at Zui Xiang Lou, was taken away by the guards.
Xu Linlang:!!!
She shouted anxiously, "How dare you! I am here, what are you going to do?"
She showed her princess token.
"Princess, this is His Majesty's order. We have no choice but to obey." The chief guard bowed.
Xu Linlang:!!!
She didn't understand even more.
Why would the Queen Mother allow Zhang Lang to be taken away when she was fine?
Zhang Lang is a man of clear mind and upright character, just like a gentleman. What crime could he have committed?
Zhang Ruicheng didn't understand either. He struggled and said, "Can you please tell me what I did wrong?"
His mind frantically recalled everything he had done recently, one by one...
But apart from seducing Xu Linlang, he didn't do anything!
The chief of the guards said meaningfully: "You will understand it later."
Zhang Ruicheng looked at Xu Linlang for help.
Xu Linlang wanted to stop him.
But she is just a princess now.
Who would disobey the empress and listen to her?
Xu Linlang was extremely angry and glanced at the guards one by one, "I will go to find my mother right now and make sure she punishes you."
The head of the guards smiled wryly: "Then I will wait."
Xu Linlang became even angrier.
"Zhang Lang, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you with me here." Xu Linlang said confidently.
Before Zhang Ruicheng could say anything, he was taken away by the guards.
Seeing this, Xu Linlang immediately took the palace maid back to the palace. She did not return to her own Cuiwei Palace, but came to Zichen Hall.
He ordered the eunuch at the door: "Go and tell my mother that I want to see her, now, immediately, right away..."
How could a person as pure as jade as Zhang Lang stay in the Heavenly Prison for long?
The eunuch looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty is meeting with the ministers inside."
"Just go and report when I tell you to. Don't say anything more, or I'll cut off your tongue." Xu Linlang's eyes were ferocious.
The eunuch entered the palace to report.
Xu Jinhuan put down the pen in his hand and wondered how to treat her.
I like the female virtue set...
She waved away the ministers and ordered the secret guards: "Find a family in Kyoto that has a wicked mother-in-law who likes to lecture her daughter-in-law, a husband and son who are chauvinistic, and a daughter with a willful personality. Find more families."
She would then pick the worst household and add Xu Linlang into it.
Let her experience how men exploited women in the past.
If you can't be nice to her, then be mean to her!
Xu Linlang didn't even know what she was going to face. She paced back and forth anxiously at the entrance of the palace. Why didn't her mother call her in?
If he delays for a moment longer, Zhang Lang will have to stay in jail for a moment longer.
At this time...
She saw the eunuch who was going to report to the palace come out and walk into the palace excitedly.
"Princess, wait a minute. His Majesty has asked you to reflect on yourself in your Cuiwei Palace and hand-copy the female virtues and female precepts three hundred times. You can come out when you have finished copying."
"what?!"
Xu Linlang felt that she had heard wrongly.
How could her mother, who had always loved her, do this?
The eunuch flicked his whisk and said, "Princess, please!"
Xu Linlang's eyes turned, and she shouted to the main hall: "Mother, it's me, please let me in, I have something to tell you..."
Before she finished speaking, four palace maids walked out of the hall.
She looked at the leading maid, "Qingdai, would mother let me in?"
Qing Dai shook her head. "His Majesty asked you to return to Cuiwei Palace to copy the female virtues and female precepts. I will serve you at the side."
Actually it is supervision.
Xu Linlang's face turned pale and she clenched her teeth. "Impossible, my mother would never treat me like this. You must be so bold and are trying to trick me."
But she only has one daughter!
Xu Linlang became ruthless and wanted to rush into the palace to ask her mother why she did this.
But as soon as she made a move, she was restrained by Qingdai and four other palace maids.
"Let me go. I am a princess. I will punish you for your crime of treason."
Xu Linlang shouted.
Qing Dai: "Princess, this is an order from His Majesty. Are you sure you want to disobey it?"
Xu Linlang recalled that in the past, people who disobeyed the imperial order were either killed or exiled.
I can only give up!
But what can't be done to the Queen Mother? She can't cure Qingdai and the others.
She shook off their hands and said bitterly, "Okay, I'll go on my own."
Qingdai let go of her hand and signaled the palace maid next to her to let go.
Arrived at Cuiwei Palace.
Before Xu Linlang could sit down to rest, she was urged to copy the women's virtues and precepts.
Xu Linlang was furious. She pointed at Qingdai's nose and asked, "Am I the princess or are you the princess?"
If she wasn't someone close to the Queen Mother, she would have had someone drag her down and beat her with a stick.
