Chapter 81: The 81st Day of Wanting to Die
At the same time, Kangxi also went to the Shangshufang.
Zhang Ying also went to court today, but he felt numb all over.
What is the emperor going to do?
He endured letting the princess go to the Shangshufang.
But the emperor made a big move without saying a word, which was to allow women to take the imperial examinations. At that time, many people in the court secretly looked at him. As a part-time teacher in the Shangshufang, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
I was afraid that the emperor would mention him, but fortunately he didn't.
He was in this state of anxiety for the whole morning.
The wrinkles on your brows are so big that they can pinch a fly to death. Your Majesty is taking such a big step. Aren’t you afraid of pulling something?
Well, Zhang Ying retracted his divergent thoughts.
He shook his head, feeling confused about the matter.
Nowadays, there are only one or two people who can go to school in an ordinary village. A private school in a town may not even be able to fill all the seats. Moreover, there are so many candidates in the imperial examination every year, and only a few hundred people are admitted. On average, there may not even be one in a county.
So the root of the problem now is not whether girls can go to school, but whether everyone can afford to go to school.
Zhang Ying walked towards Qianqing Gate with his hands behind his back and soon arrived at the Shangshufang, where the princes were already inside.
But when he entered and saw the princesses, he paused and almost forgot that the princesses also had to attend the class.
He sighed in his heart and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth with a bitter smile.
Alas, he is already in the game.
Forget it, forget it. He is just a civil official and he should obey the emperor's order. So he should just obey the emperor's order.
Thinking about it, he sorted out his emotions and said, "Let's start the class now. I have already graded yesterday's survey and presented it to His Majesty. What surprised me was that the princesses wrote very comprehensively, with great patience and care. Of course, the princes also performed well."
Yinzhen saw that Zhang Ying seemed to glance at him when he spoke the last part.
Yinzhen: ...
What does it mean? It’s good enough that you performed well, why are you still looking at me?
Yinzhen felt a little guilty.
He is only eight years old, and Sixth Brother said he is still young, so he can't be normal.
Yinzhen lowered his head. He really didn't know how to prevent the disease, but he had been vaccinated against smallpox.
So Yinzhen wrote down his experiences of the past few days, without paying attention to any logic. Anyway, he wrote down everything that his sixth brother said and did.
This includes never sitting when you can lie down, and not letting your body feel tired.
Otherwise it will aggravate the condition or something.
Zhang Ying first gave everyone a precaution, and then started today's class.
He mainly talked about the current border relations of the Qing Dynasty.
After all, the princesses here are all going to be comforted, so it's okay to tell them about these.
But soon Kangxi came.
Everyone was nervous, especially Yinzhen.
Zhang Ying had wanted to mention the Sixth Prince before. Although the characters he wrote were of different sizes, the content was still very clear and organized. However, for some reason, the Sixth Prince was not here today.
But he's used to it.
It is a rare thing for the Sixth Prince to come.
Kangxi came over and encouraged them, and then asked them to get along with each other in a friendly manner and set an example for the people of the world.
Only then did everyone know that the emperor had done something so great that it shocked heaven and earth and made ghosts weep.
Good guy, good guy.
Everyone was stunned.
The same is true for Ge Jing.
But why didn’t Xiaoliu come today?
Ge Jing felt that the emperor must want them to do something.
But the emperor left without saying anything. He was in a hurry when he came and when he left, he was in a hurry too.
It seemed like he was just coming to show his concern as usual.
But this also made the princesses feel more comfortable. After all, they didn't want the emperor to pay more attention to them and just treat them the same as their brothers.
Zhang Ying also thought that Kangxi was going to say something, but he just encouraged them to continue.
Zhang Ying shook his head. He really had no idea what the emperor was saying.
He looked at the empty seat next to the Fourteenth Prince. The Sixth Prince didn't come. Maybe it had something to do with him.
The study continues here.
As soon as Kangxi arrived at the dining room, many ministers were already outside requesting an audience with him.
Kangxi rubbed his head, feeling overwhelmed by the upcoming argument.
Some things are difficult to talk about in the court, but the ministers will not give up in private.
Sure enough, everyone still said the same thing and began to explain to Kangxi by citing classics that there had never been such a thing since ancient times.
He also talked about Emperor Wu and Empress Lu, saying that women serving as officials in the court would only disrupt the official environment.
There were many evil queens who participated in politics in history, but their end was extremely miserable, so there will be no good results for women to participate in politics.
"…Your Majesty, you also know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs…"
Kangxi certainly knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, otherwise there would be chaos in the court.
But the harem was like this because of his relationship, and those female officials were not his concubines. They were subjects just like the ministers in front of him.
Kangxi was puzzled: "...Why do you care so much? What are you afraid of?"
Kangxi could sense their urgency and worry.
But even if those women became officials in the current dynasty, how many of them would there be?
Moreover, they must have encountered much more difficulties than male officials, but they are not afraid. What are these people afraid of?
Everyone remained silent for a long time.
After a while, someone said, "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the ancestral teachings after all."
"Huh, so your ancestral teaching is that women bind their feet?"
Kangxi said with disdain.
Someone in the audience almost blurted out when he heard this, "You Manchu people's ancestral tradition is to shave your head for a half month and leave a rat braid. What did these Han officials say?"
Kangxi also thought of this, but he was being hypocritical.
Xiaoliu once said that because of the Qing Dynasty hairstyle, many people in later generations scolded the Manchus.
But this is easy to take care of.
Kangxi should finish the task at hand first, and deal with the rest later.
Alas, Kangxi did not expect that although he had secured the throne, he seemed to have no time to rest at all.
The ministers were so naive that they had to give up their words, but Kangxi refused to change.
The people were forced into a corner. Kneeling on the ground all the time was not a good idea, and the emperor did not even offer to give them a seat.
Everyone could only remain in this stalemate. Kangxi still had memorials to review, so he gave his sons a holiday and had to do these tasks himself.
"Kneel if you want. When you figure it out, stand up. I still have things to do."
Crowd: …
The emperor just left them here?
As expected, he didn’t cherish it after getting it. The emperor is really a scumbag.
She used to call me "my dear" all the time, but now she has really changed. I know men can lie with their words.
The few people didn't want to waste any more time here, so they stood up, bowed to Kangxi, and left.
"Sir Wang, what happened to the emperor?"
He originally wanted to ask if the emperor was possessed by some strange creature, but this was the imperial palace after all, and the emperor knew exactly what they were doing.
Thinking of this, the group no longer wanted to communicate and left with frowns on their faces, without anyone speaking a word along the way.
But since this approach didn't work for the emperor, they decided to take another approach.
The emperor can't just ignore public opinion.
Humph, every policy has its own countermeasure.
If there had not been a single female student taking part in the imperial examination, their situation would have been no different from the previous ones.
Kangxi didn't know that someone was hindering him again.
He is worried.
Now I just hope Xiaoliu can find a way to make more paper.
Yin Zhuo is now in Yuqing Palace, and on the rocking bed in front of him lies the little boy Hongxi.
"Xiao Hongxi, I'm your sixth uncle, call me Sixth Uncle."
Yin Zhuo teased him with a rattle and pretended not to see his three brothers.
[Humph, I won't work for nothing. How can I have any ideas if you don't give me a charter? All my ideas are on that piece of paper. It already contains everything I know.]
After hearing this, Yinreng, Yinzhi, and Yinqi did not go out of their way to look for Xiaoliu. Instead, the three of them began to study Xiaoliu's previous design drawing with their heads together.
There were two people, one big and one small, disturbing them nearby.
Hongxi was already laughing because of Xiaoliu's laughter.
"Six six~Six six~"
Hongxi held Yin Zhuo's fingers, opened his little mouth with small teeth, and shouted happily.
Yin Zhuo was so shocked that he didn't even notice the kid chewing his fingers. He looked up at Yinreng and said in shock, "Did you hear that, second brother?"
Yinreng frowned: "What did you hear?"
"He called me Liuliu!"
Yin Zhuo pointed at the little boy in the cradle. He was trying hard to turn over, and his little hands were still holding Yin Zhuo tightly, showing that he liked him very much.
Yinreng said unhappily, "What's wrong with calling you Liuliu? He also called me Ama."
But as he said this, he glanced at Hongxi with resentment. The silly boy didn't notice anything at all and his attention was completely on Yin Zhuo.
Yin Zhuo ignored him and focused on playing with the children.
"Call me Uncle Six, Uncle Six——"
Hongxi: “su——”
"Yes, Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle——"
"Susu, six six!"
Yin Zhuo frowned: "It's not Liuliu, it's Liushu."
The little guy didn't understand anything at all and kept shouting "liuliu" or "susu".
Yin Zhuo was not in a hurry. Seeing that his three brothers were discussing enthusiastically, he asked someone to move the rocking chair to the ear room, which became a little quieter.
Seeing that he was very well behaved, Yin Zhuo touched his little face and discovered that the child's face was really as soft as tofu, so tender.
It seemed as if it was about to melt.
Yin Zhuo's look of surprise made the wet nurse beside him laugh.
"Sixth Prince, you can hug the little grandson."
The nanny was about to pick up Hongxi and hand him over to him, but Yin Zhuo quickly refused: "No, no, no, just let him lie there, he's too soft."
Yin Zhuo was worried about falling him.
The wet nurse did not insist, and soon Hao Hongxi yawned with his mouth open, then fell asleep with his eyes half closed.
Yin Zhuo didn't dare to touch him, so he could only let someone take him back to sleep.
It’s a pity that the child is too young, otherwise he would have wanted to steal him back and raise him himself.
After hearing what he was thinking, Yinreng's face darkened. He knew that the brat Xiaoliu was plotting against Hongxi, and he had been keeping an eye on him.
Humph, Hongxi is his family.
"Xiaoliu, come here."
為了避免小六去想一些有的沒的。
胤礽伸手把他喊了過來：“孤和三弟五弟已經商讨了一番，發現一個矛盾。”
【？思想水平和物質水平之間的矛盾？這應該不至于吧，我看清朝勞苦大衆的思想可是一點都沒有進步，被皇權壓迫，物質水平更別說了，吃都吃不飽呢。】
胤礽想說的就是這個。
“孤發現的矛盾是現在的老百姓吃都吃不飽，本來讀書的人就不多，現在即使允許讓女子去上學了，但還是難以解決根本的問題，怎麽讓那些孩子上得起學呢？”
小六的在的那個世界的教育水平太先進了，現在就是想學都跟不上趟啊。
【唉，就知道是這個問題，所以還是要先解決溫飽，但是不怕，禁锢的枷鎖已經裂開了一道縫，自由是遲早的事。】
這本來就不是兩三天能夠完成的事。
恐怕最快要兩三年，再不然就是二十年三十年，現代的教育水平也是這樣進步的。
【我之前小時候也有因為重男輕女讓女生回家幹活不讓上學的，但那是因為九年教育是免費的，大家都上的起，所以總結來說，還是老百姓沒糧食沒錢。】
胤礽沉默，萬萬沒想到根源在這。
但恐怕要真的像小六說的那樣，要花個二三十年的時間完成這件事了。
胤礽倒是不擔心皇阿瑪的身子，但他擔心小六啊，小六能撐到那個時候嗎？
“這的确是個難題，也是小六想當然了，但慢慢來吧。”
他的學校不僅僅是一個學校，而是一個代表，一個皇家的表态。
表示他們是支持女子上學，男女同校學習考科舉這件事的。
只要學校在，這個政策就不會變。
胤祉這才從牛角尖裏鑽出來，他剛剛聽二哥跟小六的對話，心裏已經悲觀到極點了，都有點想要放棄，畢竟這事小六都這麽說了，肯定沒有轉機了。
但萬萬沒想到小六的真實想法竟然是這樣的。
這個學校只是一個象征，給天下人看的。
那所學校就是他們的态度。
胤礽也轉過來彎了：“小六，孤知道了，孤會幫你把學校建起來的，你先回去吧，等到有什麽問題，孤再去找你。”
胤礽解決了心中最大的困惑，直接毫不留情的把小六給踢出去了。
尹灼被送出了毓慶宮人都麻了。
這用完就丢是吧？
而且你明白啥了啊，我都不明白呢。
尹灼真是服了，這說話說一半是跟誰學的啊。
算了，既然他們莫名的都明白了，這也沒他什麽事了。
尹灼就開始在清宮溜達。
然後溜溜達達的去了永和宮。
德妃見他過來實在是擔心的不行。
她把所有人都給屏退，然後對小六道：“小六，你皇阿瑪是不是？”
她指了指自己的腦子。
皇上搞得這出她都覺得皇上腦子有病。
之前廢除裹腳是有情可原，但現在讓塔娜和烏日娜去尚書房同十四他們一起上課，在德妃看來這完全是多此一舉了。
塔娜跟烏日娜平日裏也有課上的。
而且十四他們學的都是國家政事相關的，塔娜跟烏日娜去學真的合适嗎？
德妃都快糾結死了。
尹灼開始賣慘：“額娘你是不是聽到了什麽？皇阿瑪什麽都沒做啊。那都是小六做的，小六做了一個夢，夢到了很可怕的東西，所以皇阿瑪這麽做是為了小六祈福。”
德妃雖然知道是一個借口，但是聽到這話也很不舒服：“小六別這麽說，額娘知道你有苦衷，你放心，額娘支持你。”
尹灼覺得有點好笑。
【看來我在額娘的心裏還是比皇阿瑪重要的。】
要不是小六還在場，她都能呲笑出聲。
她年輕的時候跟康熙的關系是很好，不然也不至于以一個包衣的身份成了四妃之一。
但德妃更多的事歸功于自己的肚子争氣，接連生下的兩位阿哥都養活了。
而且序齒還很靠前。
但是随着年齡越來越大，她對争寵這些也看開了。
什麽都沒有孩子重要。
至于孩子的阿瑪，愛去哪去哪。
她是一點都不想管。
而且她想到了今年的選秀，她就不信當着小六的面康熙還敢選那麽多秀女入宮，好好的給兒子選福晉就好了。
德妃也發現了，小六對于這種事十分的排斥。
她指的是多女侍一夫的事。
唉，沒想到小六還是個情種。
但現在這孩子是一點想娶福晉的想法都沒有。
前面五阿哥的側福晉都懷孕了，小六身邊連個人都沒有。
當然，她知道小六自己有想法，所以根本不敢拿這事去煩他。
更何況現在皇上好像在壓着小六出宮建府的事，要知道小六建府也就這幾個月的事了。
但小六現在的情況，皇上是不可能放手的了。
“額娘，你真好。”
尹灼抱住她。
【唉，額娘的頭上都有白發了，還真是讓人心生感慨啊。】
尹灼不知道說什麽好。
就是挺心酸的。
德妃已經僵住了，她有白發了？
雖然知道孩子漸漸長大，她也越來越老，但德妃還是有些難以接受。
尹灼拍了拍額娘的後背：“謝謝額娘支持小六。”
德妃嘆了一口氣：“但你要小心。”
雖然說她深處後宮，但對于大臣們的反應還是有所了解的，那些人恐怕要找小六的麻煩。
尹灼笑着道：“沒事，還有皇阿瑪和二哥呢。”
德妃點了點他：“你呀，讓你皇阿瑪跟太子殿下背鍋，以後得好好的謝謝他們。”
“兒臣知道。”
尹灼在永和宮用了午膳，還遇到了四嫂，見她的臉色有點不對。
尹灼關心的道：“四嫂身體如何？”
四福晉面色蒼白的笑了笑：“無事，只是有些擔心你四哥罷了。”
尹灼算了算時間：“四嫂安心，四哥已經在返程的路上了。”
四福晉眼睛亮了起來：“那就好。”
德妃也有些埋怨：“老四就是傻，跑那麽遠做什麽？讓底下的人去做不就行了嗎？”
其實她是有些介意，佟國維的事。
畢竟佟佳氏可是之前老四的養母。
他們都是佟家人，而且還有隆科多寵妾滅妻的事，德妃對他們一家是徹底改觀了。
之前還有些畏懼，但現在幾個孩子起來了，她也有了底氣。
阿哥和額娘給不了她安全感，但她的這幾個孩子做到了。
尹灼覺得額娘這個想法不對：“額娘，四哥可是去做大事了，這話你可不要亂說，免得四哥吃苦了還落得一陣埋怨。”
【等到禦稻改良一下，說不定畝産千斤的稻子還真能實現。】
德妃瞪大了眼睛，所以老四這真的是立功了？
她不敢想象要是那禦稻的産量提高了，老四在老百姓心裏的威望會有多高。
畢竟是關乎着吃飯的東西，這不就是普通人所在意的嗎？
恐怕外界對于女子上學的在意程度還不如田裏增産的麥子稻子高。
德妃沒有猜錯，皇上說允許女子科舉和入朝為官的事根本就沒有引起多大的波瀾。
普通的家庭無論男娃還是女娃一個都上不起來學，吃都吃不飽呢，還去上學，皇上這不是在說笑呢。
果然，衆人震驚了一段時間，就把這事給忘了。
康熙跟胤礽也不着急。
畢竟着急也沒用啊。
資源有限可不是開玩笑的。
寒門貴子也不是白說的，那從古至今真正的寒門子弟屈指可數。
能上的起學的家裏多多少少有點資産。
尹灼那一番話成功的把焦慮的胤礽給勸住了，連帶着胤祉和胤祺也放平了心态。
沒辦法，這個社會就這樣，就像小六說的，現在禁锢的枷鎖已經裂開了一道縫，那麽陽光透進來是遲早的事。
“真臭啊，六哥，這真的有用嗎？”
胤祯捂着鼻子，眼睛都被熏紅了。
他都快崩潰了，誰懂還不容易旬休一天，結果被六哥帶出了宮，原本他以為等待自己的會是吃喝玩樂，結果六哥帶他過來玩糞！
真的是糞便！
牛的，雞的，還有……
胤祯：“嘔——”
他真的要吐了。
六哥真是關于人幹的事他是一點都不沾啊。
他就說六哥怎麽會這麽好心，帶他出宮了，結果是來帶他吃苦的。
他從小到大都沒有受到這麽大的委屈。
胤祯看着眼前成堆的髒污之物，整個人已經擺爛了。
“六哥，十四不行了。”
尹灼見他一口氣喘不上來的樣子，抖了抖口罩：“之前讓你戴上你不戴，非得自己親身經歷一遍才知道苦頭。”
【活該，這小子就死犟死犟的，這臭脾氣還得改改。】
胤祯立馬把口罩給戴上，聞着上面的花香，覺得他又活了。
他看着被捂了半張臉的六哥，直接選擇把剛剛的事給忘了：“六哥這是要做什麽？”
尹灼道：“你哥打算做化肥。”
【雖然現在沒有制作化肥的機器，那只能走人工這條路了，生物制肥，一切從原始的來。】
豐澤園這塊，田地都是被劃分的一塊一塊的，這也正好方便尹灼實驗。
他把想法給十四說了一下。
十四一言難盡。
Alas, although Sixth Brother has a good relationship with him, he is also a burden. What can he do to help Sixth Brother when he is so young?
But soon Yinzhen realized that he was wrong.
The sixth brother not only found one helper, he and the eighth brother stared at each other.
"Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, why are you here too?"
Yinsi wished he could faint, he really couldn't stand the smell.
Sixth Brother and Fourteenth Brother both had something strange on their faces, but the other three had nothing on their faces.
Yinzhen almost turned around and left, but he stopped abruptly and didn't dare to breathe.
Yinsi also has a cleanliness fetish and his head is buzzing now.
"Sixth brother, you don't want us to do farm work, do you?"
Yinsi's face turned green.
Yin'er and Yin'e were also like this, and they felt pessimistically that these people in front of them were the objects of their work.
How excited I was when I came here, how much I regret now.
It was sloppy.
