Hearing He Fengsheng ask him excitedly, Emperor Chongzhen immediately looked at him and asked in a cold voice: "Is it possible that He Qing thinks that I will be joking in this Wenhua Palace?"
Although he was reprimanded, He Fengsheng was not unhappy at all, and immediately responded with excitement: "Your Majesty is wise, I am willing to go to pieces and share your worries for Your Majesty!"
The meaning of this statement is very obvious.
You, the emperor, can do whatever you like. I will give you my full support. Don’t let me go and miss such a good opportunity!
Other civil servants, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end they all bowed down to express their dedication to Emperor Chongzhen.
Even Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, who was the leader of Qingliu, was no exception.
This is a major change that has not been seen in a century. No, it is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years. We happened to catch it, how could we miss it!
As long as you are an individual, especially a literati, no one cares about being famous throughout the ages!
Of course, the most important thing is that today's Emperor Chongzhen is not just talking nonsense, but is actually doing something, such as steam trains!
Seeing their performance, Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied, so he nodded and said: "In this case, you and your Majesty will discuss the establishment of the women's department and see who will be the masters!"
He also said just now that those admitted to the women's department mainly work in the Department of Political Affairs and the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty. So it is not difficult to set up subjects for this point.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished instructing this matter, he asked his first assistant He Fengshengdao: "How is the revision of the Ming Dynasty Code?"
After hearing this, He Fengsheng quickly introduced the situation and only revised about half of it. The remaining opinions were not unanimous and were still being revised.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had control over this progress. The point of his asking about this was not really to ask about the progress.
After He Fengsheng answered, he ordered: "We can slow down other matters first, sort out the matters related to the abolition of humble status, and announce it to the world as soon as possible, so as to help Sun Qing wipe out the traitors!"
"Wei Chen accepts the order!" He Fengsheng, of course, had no objection to this matter and quickly agreed.
After Emperor Chongzhen discussed other matters with them, he ended the discussion and left.
After the imperial meeting ended, everyone left the Wenhua Palace and saw the bright sun outside. For a moment, no one came down the steps.
This is not to say that they are afraid of the sun, it is impossible. Because there are servants who will hold umbrellas for them. This kind of treatment is still available to the highest-level officials of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why they didn't leave was because they all thought that when they entered the Wenhua Hall, they never expected such a result!
Ruan Dacheng became the third-rank political envoy, and a palace maid named Chen Yuanyuan was given the same background as a Jinshi, and was promoted to the third-rank political deputy envoy. There was even a women's department!
Before the change, they would definitely object to these three things. But unexpectedly, no one objected now, and they all agreed.
This kind of thing is really unbelievable!
In the past, every matter, even if the emperor wanted to do it, would have caused a huge commotion!
But now...
Thinking of this, He Fengsheng and others couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Wenhua Palace, as if the emperor was still there.
They knew very well that the reason why there were such big changes was because the emperor had undergone very big changes!
No one in this group of civil servants said anything, they just shook their heads and then left.
As they dispersed, the matters discussed at the imperial meeting also spread.
The fact that Ruan Dacheng is serving as the third-rank political envoy has only caused some commotion in the officialdom. When it comes to the entire capital, there is no splash at all.
Ordinary people, who cares what Ruan Dacheng is!
At this time, teahouses, restaurants, deep residences, and other places throughout the capital were all discussing one thing, which was the emergence of female departments and officials.
"Who is Chen Yuanyuan? It's like there is smoke coming out of the ancestor's grave, and he can actually become an official, and he is from the third rank!"
"My daughter is pretty good too. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why is she so unlucky?"
"Haha, my daughter can also ride and shoot, I didn't even think about it!"
"There's nothing wrong with this. In the future, even if you give birth to a daughter, Wu can be granted the title of marquis and Wen can be an official. It's almost the same as giving birth to a son!"
"Then it's natural to recruit a son-in-law!"
"..."
Compared with the discussions of ordinary people, women as a group are even more enthusiastic than them. Especially the daughters of officials and even their wives are also looking forward to the establishment of a women's department.
They all discussed what exactly the women's department would take, whether there was any age limit, whether there were any appearance requirements, etc.
If I couldn't discuss it with the maid, I went to discuss it with my best friend. Suddenly, the streets were full of big sedans.
My master is not an official, so I pestered my master to inquire about the situation.
My husband was an official, so he quickly asked the female department for inside information.
In short, the enthusiasm of women in the capital has never been so high.
Even the romantic places in the capital, all topics are inseparable from this. Of course, they also have self-awareness, and it is probably impossible for them.
However, some people are unconvinced. A simple example is Chen Yuanyuan. I heard that she was from a very low background. Not only did she become a high-ranking official, but she was also the first high-ranking official and did not need to take the women's examination.
The owners of those romantic places were even more moved after hearing the news. The daughters they had originally cultivated were immediately in demand, and they were not sold in the short term. In the case of Chen Yuanyuan, the price skyrocketed.
There are also rich people who immediately send their fast horses to Yangzhou to buy thin horses. If they buy the next Chen Yuanyuan, wouldn’t they be rich?
Of course, there are also some people who shake their heads and sigh, thinking that the world is deteriorating and even women are becoming officials. This makes the old men feel so embarrassed!
No matter what, there was another hot topic here in the capital.
Chen Yuanyuan, one of the parties involved, was deaf to what was going on outside the window. She was still in the palace, together with Concubine Tian, and could be said to be imitating and creating based on the videos she saw day and night.
Finally, just three days later, the sketch based on Ruan Dacheng's play was finally completed.
The actors in this skit came from the Jiaofangsi and Zhengtongsi, and even Chen Yuanyuan appeared in person, playing the role of the daughter of Chen Bailao, an ordinary citizen. She acted out that her land was taken away by local powerful men, and she had no choice but to turn to the local powerful men and become a hermit.
The tragic story of bullying and eventually the bandits rebelling and killing the whole family.
Of course, there are also scenes in which the government has no money to recruit soldiers and pay them, and is unable to suppress thieves.
After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he thought it was very good, so he took a video and sent it to Liu Weichao, and then immediately initiated a video communication with Liu Weichao.
As soon as the connection was connected, Emperor Chongzhen said excitedly: "I just sent you a video. It's in the form of a skit. What do you think of it?"
Although he said that, Liu Weichao could feel from his expression that he seemed very satisfied.
To be honest, Liu Weichao is also a little curious. Are the sketches from the Ming Dynasty good?
So, he immediately agreed, hung up the video communication, and started watching immediately.
After watching it, Liu Weichao felt that it was weird. It felt a bit like the white-haired girl. If the plot was slightly changed, it would be more similar!
After thinking for a while, Liu Weichao suddenly came to his senses. If his mobile phone was actually in the hands of Li Zicheng and others, then this skit would be slightly modified and it would be the same as the modern version. He could even copy the modern version!
Thinking about this, Liu Weichao shook his head vigorously to get rid of this unrealistic thought, and then watched the video again before making a video request to Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen answered the call almost immediately. Before Liu Weichao could speak, he quickly asked: "How is it?"
His expression was as if he had created it.
Of course, as far as the two worlds are concerned, they are almost the same. No matter who created it, Emperor Chongzhen can be the representative. Not to mention, the effect of this is related to how he governs the country!
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and said, "Not bad..."
"I think it's good too!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I watched the whole process and never had the thought of speaking!"
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless after hearing this. In fact, he still had something to say, so Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to pick up the topic.
They are all old friends anyway, and it doesn’t matter whether they slap him in the face or not. Liu Weichao said to Emperor Chongzhen: "But there are some places, I think, that still need to be improved!"
"Ah?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he quickly disappeared and said to Liu Weichao, "You say it, I'm listening!"
So, Liu Weichao said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The sketches on my side are usually good sketches that make people happy. For example, eating noodles is a very classic one. As for your side, I don't think it's a good sketch that makes people happy.
This matter can be staged, but the effect will be good if people who have watched this sketch understand that seclusion is a danger to the country and the necessity of re-measurement of the land should be expressed or even highlighted!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it made sense and quickly asked: "How to improve it?"
Liu Weichao had already thought about it, so he immediately said to him: "It is the same with any sketch, it must express emotions and arouse the emotions of the audience. For example, in your work, you show the torture of Zhang Bailao, which makes the people who watch it very happy."
Sympathy; show the ugly face of the local squire, so that people who see it want to kill him; show the difficulty of the court's failure to collect taxes, so that those who see it can fully understand the importance of tax collection. And so on
Wait, I think the effect will be much better!"
At this point, he paused and added: "Of course, it's easier said than done. I can only talk about it. If I were asked to do it, I probably wouldn't be able to do it!"
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a while, then nodded and said solemnly: "What you said makes sense, I will give them some guidance!"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard this, he was immediately speechless. Are you going to give them some advice? Now you can learn and sell, are you embarrassed?
