Shu Jin had been paying close attention to the "abolition of the foot-binding order", so he often called Dou Huaizhong to come over and respond.
"There is a farming and studying family in Chang County. The old lady of that family has small feet, and the son of his son is also married to a woman with small feet. Now when I give the order, the judge is so frightened that he immediately tells his wife to stop, but the old lady refuses to obey.
!Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself. But when it comes to fame and future, maybe the candidate will follow my wishes?"
"But I never expected that when Na Juren went on a study tour, the old lady took advantage of her daughter-in-law to have her feet rested and was recovering from her injuries in bed, so she actually asked someone to bind her little granddaughter's feet!"
Shu Jin frowned when he heard this, "How will your Inspection Department handle this matter?"
Dou Huaizhong bowed and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the emperor's decree is clearly written. Anyone who binds feet illegally will be punished by his father and brother! No matter who bound the feet, the head of the family must bear the responsibility as long as he is not dead."
responsibility!"
Shu Jin nodded with satisfaction.
When Dou Huaizhong saw the Queen Mother's gentle face, he smiled and said: "That person was crying and crying for injustice. He only said that I did it behind his back, and he repeatedly promised to give his daughter some mercy."
Shu Jin snorted coldly: "How can such a coincidence happen in the world? At this critical moment, he went on a study tour?!" - He knew who her mother was, but he still dared to let it go! It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of the law!
Dou Huaizhong said quickly: "The Queen Mother is wise!"
Shu Jin lamented: "I just pity that little girl..." A pedantic and vicious grandmother and a cunning and cruel father, who are obviously close relatives of flesh and blood, want to torture her like this.
"Some people, when they get caught in the rain, try to break other people's umbrellas!" Shu Jin was full of disgust. This old lady suffered from foot binding back then, and now she can never regain her health and strength, so she can't
He endured the crime of foot binding for his own granddaughter!
A weak person draws a knife against an even weaker person, what a vicious thought!
What’s even more vicious is the dog man who tried to take me out! I’ll take the blame for my bad reputation, and my wife and daughter will take the blame!! And he’s so happy that he’s invisible! He’s simply a beast worse than a pig or a dog! Even worse than a dead man!
Dou Huaizhong said: "The Queen Mother has a bodhisattva-like heart, but some people are born so bad that they ooze pus!"
With the foot binding order, I don’t know how many ugly things will be revealed!
Shu Jin sighed, "It must be difficult to check whether the inventory is sufficient, right?"
Dou Huaizhong lamented: "The Queen Mother is wise. Although the slaves are all internal prisoners, there are some women from wealthy families who would rather die than allow the slaves to check their feet! Those who hit the wall, those who throw themselves into trouble, and those who bite their tongues! Among them
Some are really strong, some are pretending to be strong! Some have to be strong!"
Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows. Feudal ethics are simply cannibalism!
Dou Huaizhong gritted his teeth and said: "Slaves are not men, what can't you look at?!"
Shu Jin then asked: "You didn't really force the person to death, did you?"
Dou Huaizhong hurriedly said: "How dare I ruin the important matter of the Emperor and the Queen Mother? I specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to mobilize some wonderful nuns. Now they are all women, so they will not hinder the good reputation!"
Shu Jin nodded. There is no need to be tough on things that can be easily handled.
Dou Huaizhong continued: "With these wonderful nuns, no one dares to pretend to be relaxed anymore! But I didn't expect that some people have treacherous minds. They told their wives and daughters to relax and deal with the wonderful nuns."
After checking, he asked the female relatives to wrap them up again!"
Speaking of this, even Dou Huaizhong showed a bit of unbearability, "This man who bound his feet and then released his feet, released his feet and then bound his feet, has caused several female relatives to become disabled!"
Shu Jin was extremely angry, "This kind of person should be punished even more!"
The viciousness of the human heart is truly unimaginable!
Dou Huaizhong nodded and said: "That's natural. The emperor is also furious. He just issued an edict a few days ago. If you repeatedly disobey the emperor's order like this, both the envoy and the head of the family will be punished!"
Shu Jin nodded with satisfaction. With such a scourge, a few more should be killed to serve as a warning to the monkeys!
Dou Huaizhong laughed and said: "After cutting off a few heads, the task of the Inspection Department will immediately become much easier! The emperor is still wise!"
"I feel relieved that the emperor can be cruel and ruthless." Shu Jin nodded slightly, "You are diligent and attentive, so you should be well rewarded."
With that said, he asked Aunt Lan Ruo to get a box of golden melon seeds as a reward for Dou Huaizhong.
As a favored eunuch in front of the emperor, Dou Huaizhong was not short of money. What was more important was that this was a reward from the Queen Mother, which meant that the Queen Mother favored him.
Dou Huaizhong was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed and accepted the reward.
In the evening of this day, Emperor Hongzhou came to Wanfang'an to pay his respects. His face was a bit embarrassed, "If someone hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known that there were women from Banner families who secretly bound their feet!"
Shu Jin was stunned: "It's impossible, isn't it? If your feet are bound, you can't wear flowerpot-soled shoes, let alone apply for the election!"
If a person achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven, once his girl is selected to enter the palace, she will be filled with glory!
Therefore, for this possibility, the Banner family would never bind their girls’ feet!
Hong Zhou said with a sullen face: "It's not the kind of foot binding used by Han women, but like the Southern Tang Dynasty, where the feet were tightly wrapped with silk, so that the feet would look a little smaller."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. At least the girl from the Banner family didn't have her feet broken off and became a cripple...
Thinking of this, Shu Jin couldn't help but feel disgusted, "What's so good about foot-binding? Not only has it been banned repeatedly, but it has also spread to the banner people!" If it weren't for the ancestral system of the draft, I'm afraid the Eight Banners ladies would also have their feet bound!
Although Shu Jin has always disliked the system of drafts, in the Qing Dynasty, she had to admit that drafts saved countless women and prevented them from becoming disabled!
Although flowerpot-soled shoes are not stable to wear, you must have a pair of healthy feet to control them!
At this time, the eunuch Zhang Shoufa quickly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the honorable nobles have come here, taking off their hairpins. They are kneeling outside the palace to plead guilty."
Shu Jin was stunned: "What crime does she have?"
Zhang Shoufa lowered his head deeply and whispered: "I don't know."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hong Zhou's face darkened slightly, "Let her kneel for two hours before talking!"
Shu Jin was even more astonished, "What mistake did Mr. Yi make?" That's not true, right? The queen also praised the person recommended by Huai Ke. How could he make a mistake not long after entering the palace?
Hong Zhou snorted coldly: "The Gu family is such a scholarly family!!"
Shu Jin was suddenly inspired. His scholarly family background meant reading poetry and books - naturally he read Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which preserves the principles of nature and destroys human desires! And the bad habit of foot binding is like a bastard with mung beans when compared to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
!
The more educated a family is, the more they want to destroy women!
On the contrary, in the families of military commanders who are considered vulgar, the women are at least healthier and more comfortable.
For example, Changli's father was a military officer.
Shu Jin asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty Yi, has your feet bound too?"
Hong Zhou only snorted coldly, "Almost everyone in the Gu family of eight generations is like this!"
Shu Jin closed his eyes and said, "This is not her fault." To be precise, Yi Guiren was the victim.
Hong Zhou muttered: "The Queen is too soft-hearted! She has been tying her feet with silk since she entered the palace. This is deceiving me! I have not punished her for the crime of deceiving the emperor, so I am lenient enough!"
Shu Jin was speechless: "What are her feet like? Didn't you see them?"
Are you so blind? - If Hong Zhou hadn't become emperor now, Shu Jin would have really wanted to grab his ears and yell this.
Hong Zhou choked and immediately said: "She also wore socks when she went to bed..." I didn't expect that there was silk wrapped under her socks! At that time, I also looked at her slender feet, which were very cute.
Woolen cloth!
But at this moment, Hong Zhou only felt angry and ashamed.
Shu Jin sighed, "Well, she didn't mean to deceive you. Just punish her to go back and copy the "Book of Filial Piety", so that she can think about her mistake."
On a hot day, you may get heat stroke if you kneel for a long time.
Hong Zhouweng said: "That's all, just follow the Emperor's mother!" The Emperor's mother has always shown pity and cherishment, and I am not the first to know this.
Hong Zhou then ordered the eunuch next to him with a dark face: "Tell the concubines to the imperial office that from now on, the concubines are not allowed to wear socks when they sleep in bed!"
Shu Jin:……
After being speechless for three seconds, Shu Jin couldn't help but sigh for a long time, "This bad habit of foot binding is really pervasive!"
After all, Yi Guiren did not really have her feet bound. Even so, Hong Zhou still punished her by grounding her feet for three months and copying the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times. In addition, he also issued an edict to reprimand all the men of the Gu family, including Huai Ke's husband.
The son was also slapped with a mask and scolded, and after the incident, Gu's father and brother were also fined with a year's salary.
