Chapter 219
"Only the Queen Mother can come forward to save Zijin. If I go out, it will only add fuel to the fire."
Speaking of this, Sheng Yixuan's eyes became red and his voice became choked. He bit his lip and continued, "Mother, if you are unwilling to lend a helping hand, I will rush out immediately and take Zijin away.
I don't want the throne of the crown prince, wealth and glory. As long as I can be with Zijin, my life will be full of satisfaction! "After saying this, he straightened up and looked at his mother with a firm gaze, as if he was ready to do whatever it takes.
The queen thought for a moment. Zijin's behavior had already aroused public anger. If he was not punished, it would not be enough to appease the public anger. It will be difficult to resolve the situation then, so now I can only reduce my punishment to the minimum.
Then the Queen called Madam Qian to her side and whispered, "Go, pass on the imperial decree, saying that Yuanyang is the key to the proof and must be saved. Zijin was sent by the Queen to save the proof.
As for Zijin’s outrageous behavior, after this matter has calmed down, I will punish Zijin and give everyone a satisfactory explanation…”
…………
Yin Zijin never expected that his unintentional mistake would cause such a huge sensation and turmoil like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. At that time, he just wanted to see the true situation of Yuanyang.
At this moment, Yin Zijin deeply felt a heavy pressure like a mountain pressing down on him, but he knew very well in his heart that if he fell, then everything would be completely out of control. Those people who were eyeing him covetously would definitely take him away without hesitation and immediately execute the so-called severe punishment measures they advocated!
Thinking of this, Yin Zijin did not dare to delay any longer and quickly stood up from the ground. He stood up straight and stared at everyone present with a fierce gaze without fear. His face was livid, his eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and at the same time, there was an irrepressible anger: "The Spring and Autumn Annals recorded:
The king is the leader of his ministers. If the king is not upright, he will be exiled to other countries.
The state is the backbone of the people. If the state is not just, the people will rise up to attack it.
The father is the pillar of his son. If the father is not kind, the son will flee.
A son is the hope of his father. If the son is not upright, the father will destroy his parents for the sake of justice.
The husband is the head of the wife. If the husband is not upright, the wife can remarry.
A wife helps her husband. If she is not virtuous, the husband should divorce her.
However, you deliberately misinterpreted its meaning and made it a tool to persecute women, making it especially harsh on unmarried women.
They can only depend on their father, husband and son to survive. Little do they know that these are just your means of oppression. You cut off their wings and only tell them: "Come quickly! Only in my arms is the safest."
They are women, life is born from under their skirts, but they are not allowed to speak, nor are they allowed to fly freely.
You know, only incompetent, selfish, cowardly and timid men will be afraid and oppress women, because once women rise, they will inevitably threaten their existing interests.
Therefore, they would spare no effort to oppress women, enforce the three obediences and four virtues, continue the family line, bind feet, and traffic in women. ”
Then, Yin Zijin's thoughts drifted back to the sentence he saw on Douyin not long ago. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said, "When I was a child, once a baby girl was born, I would often hear people say with disdain, 'It's just a girl', and she can't carry on the family line.
However, when they grow up and are about to get married, those who once looked down on women suddenly change their tune and say, "You are a girl, and you will definitely have the responsibility of carrying on the family line in the future."..."
At this point, Yin Zijin couldn't help but burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, but this laughter was clearly filled with endless sadness and sorrow. As he laughed, tears flowed uncontrollably and rolled down his cheeks.
Yin Zijin completely ignored the strange looks from others and followed the guards carrying Yuanyang, walking forward step by step with difficulty.
His tightly wrapped three-inch golden lotus feet were trembling and moving, and coupled with the poison of the golden bee,
Every step I take seems to require all my strength. Just like that, he slowly walked away towards the backyard, leaving behind only a lonely and stubborn figure and one sentence: "This is what Zijin thinks. If there is a punishment, Zijin will accept it, but Zijin's thoughts will not change..."
Outside the gate of the clan house, there was a crowd of people, including many married women. They were either whispering to each other or standing there in shock, obviously deeply shocked by what Yin Zijin had just said.
Some women could not help but ask themselves: "Is it true, as she said, that when a husband behaves improperly, the wife can choose to remarry instead of having to endure the bitterness of being a widow or even being buried alive with him? This is totally contrary to the concept we have always accepted!"
Some women looked down at their deformed feet and muttered to themselves as if they had suddenly realized something: "It turns out that these so-called three-inch golden lotuses, apart from catering to the aesthetic tastes of some people, can only restrict and limit one's freedom of movement. No wonder I feel unbearable pain in my feet every few steps and cannot go out far. This is the reason!"
Some women with sharp minds thought of the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" that they usually follow, and couldn't help wondering: "Are these 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues' correct and reasonable?
Is it really the principle that women must abide by throughout their lives? Or is it just a shackle imposed on women? "For a moment, all kinds of questions surged into the minds of these women like a tide, causing them to fall into deep thought.
Then someone else said hurriedly: "This woman has read all kinds of evil doctrines. She is so rebellious. Please punish her severely. Only by correcting the moral principles can we stop the gossips..." Then a few more people knelt down, kowtowed and petitioned.
…
Behind the curtain, Madam Qian was about to read the imperial edict, but Sheng Yixuan stopped her: "Wait, wait until Zijin finishes."
When the situation was getting out of control, Madam Qian came out to pass on the imperial decree: "Yuanyang is the key witness and must be saved. Zijin was sent by the palace to rescue the witness.
As for Zijin’s outrageous behavior, after this matter has calmed down, I will punish Zijin and give everyone a satisfactory explanation…”
After hearing what Yin Zijin said, the Queen frowned and asked, "Xuan'er, why did you hold Madam Qian just now?
Listen to what Zijin said. He could have gotten away with it at first, but now he has to be severely punished. ”
