"Your Majesty, this matter is a matter for women in the world. Why don't you leave it to me and my concubine?"

Queen Yin looked at Emperor Long'an's solemn and even sinister expression and laughed softly.

As an emperor, no matter how great the impact of this matter, could he still let Emperor Long'an pass a decree saying that women in the world can no longer wrap their breasts with cloth strips?

Only someone like Jia Qiang, who doesn't attach much importance to the so-called good reputation, would say that even though tens of thousands of people are there, I will go there.

If these words get out, people will spit like old dogs!

Emperor Long'an looked at Queen Yin, pinched his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "It's difficult!"

Those scholar-bureaucrats, even if they turn around and quietly let their wives and daughters-in-law relax, they will denounce this matter on the surface.

No, they are not allowed to let their daughters have their breasts enlarged.

Unless you are raised as a boy, when you reach the age of eleven, twelve or three, it is inevitable that you will have a stranglehold on your body...

Even if you are an emperor and empress, there is no reason to force others to be more generous.

Moreover, this word has been approved by the imperial edict and cannot be published at all. It will be banned and dismissed by the Sixth Section.

Because in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats, it is really ridiculous!

Queen Yin thought about it carefully, and finally her phoenix eyes fell on Jia Qiang, and asked: "Since this matter is your fault, Jia Qiang, what can you do?"

Jia Qiang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I think that the court does not need to make any noise about this matter, or it is not necessary for the time being. It is better to let the people make noise first. After all, the matter is true, and the accurate data will be

After taking a break, I thought, unless they are extremely selfish and pedantic masters, or Taoist priests who consider themselves stick to etiquette, most people will still think twice before doing anything. I also don’t remember that there is something in "Zhou Rites".

There is no such thing as forcing a woman to cover her breasts."

Hearing him "wrap his chest" one after another, Emperor Long'an didn't know how to scold him.

Is this a good word?

Queen Yin also couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Emperor Long'an: "It can be seen that he is still a child, and he is very similar to Wu'er back then. It's no wonder that Wu'er wants him to work with him in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Long'an snorted and said sarcastically: "They are all the same thing!"

Empress Yin warned Jia Qiang: "Firstly, you come from a noble family that has made great contributions to the country, and you are still so young. Secondly, the emperor and Mr. Lin have different feelings of monarch and minister. You are his disciple, and you will still be his uncle in the future.

You have such a relationship with the Yin family, not to mention that your eldest aunt is a noble concubine in the palace, so the emperor treats you not only as a monarch and minister, but also as a nephew and junior. You must be loyal to the king.

If you want to live up to this holy family, you must not be arrogant and ruin the emperor's dignity. If this is the case, no one can save you. The prince of this palace has committed a serious crime and has been severely punished, let alone you? You?

take note of it?"

Jia Qiang bowed and said, "I have written down what I said in reply to your Majesty. In fact, your Majesty didn't give me any advice, and Mr. Chen reminded me almost every day that you should act rigorously, but you don't have to be afraid of anything. You don't have to be afraid of doing something wrong, as long as you are loyal to

In the affairs of the king, if you have a loyal heart, even if you make some small mistakes, the emperor will not blame you. But if you keep shouting slogans, but are actually lazy and inactive, or even do bad things, you will not be able to hide from the eyes of the emperor. The ministers must remember one thing, don't be smart.

, self-righteous. As long as you remember these, don’t worry about anything else..."

Queen Yin laughed angrily when she heard this and said to Emperor Long'an, "Is he trying to criticize my concubine?"

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "How dare I be disrespectful to the empress? I even asked the empress to give me a pair of calligraphy treasures."

Looking at Jia Qiang, who had a smile on her handsome face below, Queen Yin said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What do you, a foreign minister, do with my calligraphy treasure?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "I have set up a guild hall in Xixie Street. The East Road Courtyard is a ring, not to mention. The West Road Courtyard has dozens of shops, only serving women and babies.

Next, from the stewards to the clerks, they are all women. One of them specializes in selling substitutes for women's breast wrappings! I am bold and want to ask the empress to write a couplet that says, "women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong."

Hanging in front of the gate of the West Road Courtyard. This can be regarded as the attitude of the palace. If we can really solve the problem of breast binding, your merits will be immeasurable!"

Queen Yin spat and said: "Jia Qiang, you are really dishonest, as clever as a monkey! You clearly want to use me to set up a sign for your Laoshizi Guild Hall, and you say it so righteously. You have a good idea!"

"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak falsely or have small calculations before the Holy Emperor. But in the end, justice is the main priority. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to make such a request."

Queen Yin ignored him, but said to Emperor Long'an: "Wu'er said before that he could make money, and the emperor and his concubines just thought he was fooling around. Now look at him, he really has the heart of a profiteer! Look at it, your emperor,

He even dares to attack my concubines!"

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang carefully, sneered, and was speechless.

He also discovered recently that he didn't expect that this boy with no hair on his head could actually be a little god of wealth.

If not, how can we support so many people?

Queen Yin didn't know about this, but when she saw Emperor Long'an's eyes, she was startled. This look was a bit evil. What happened?

Hear Emperor Long'an say: "Jia Qiang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is short of money. It's too short. It hasn't rained in the five provinces yet. Since you have the ability to manage money, what can you teach me?" After a pause, he said again: "Running the house."

There’s no need to mention it. If you can copy it from me, why should you teach me?”

Jia Qiang coughed dryly, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, I made it clear to Kehe County Prince before that it is not easy for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make money. But the premise is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is purged clearly. Otherwise, I will really

Even a boy who is good at making money cannot fill those bottomless pits."

Is there any way? Actually, there is.

But do you dare to use it now?

I really don’t dare!

If you really show off once, you will never have time to rest and rack your brains to work for those clan elders to make money.

The key is, it's still better than one point.

After hearing what Jia Qiang said, Emperor Long'an didn't say anything else.

Queen Yin was right, Emperor Long'an treated him like a nephew.

But Emperor Long'an had many nephews and nephews, and many of them were not very good-looking...

Empress Yin was much more cordial and said with a warm smile: "You should always keep this in mind. You should know it in your heart. Since you have this talent, you can't just focus on your own family's enjoyment. Do more for the emperor.

I will live up to the emperor's kindness."

Jia Qiang understood, nodded and said: "I have written it down."

Queen Yin waved her hand and said, "Then go."

…

As soon as Jia Qiang left the Fengzao Palace, she saw four young men in royal robes approaching.

He thought to himself that it was bad luck, but he took two steps forward and bowed first: "I have met all the princes."

The eldest son of the emperor is Li Jing, the prince of Baojun, the third son of the emperor is Li Xiao, the prince of Kehuai, the fourth son of the emperor is Li Shi, the prince of Kerong, and the fifth son of the emperor is Li Xuan, the prince of Kehe.

The four of them were also very curious about Jia Qiang appearing here at this moment. Li Jing was the longest. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Jia Qiang, why are you here?"

As soon as this statement came out, the other three people looked at him with some suspicion.

According to their understanding of Li Jing, Li Jing's behavior should have been indifferent and scrutinizing, and he should not have spoken in the first place...

Jia Qiang replied: "Your Majesty, it was your Majesty who came here to see Your Majesty as your Majesty the Imperial Majesty had previously conveyed the decree to me."

Li Jing didn't say anything after hearing this, and Li Xiao and Li Shi didn't ask the queen why she called Jia Qiang into the palace, because Jia Qiang made it clear that she was here to see your majesty.

Therefore, the people in Fengzao Palace who wanted to see him included the emperor.

Li Xuan did not shy away and said happily: "Jia Qiang, my father and mother want you to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Never."

Li Xuan was greatly disappointed, but he immediately put it behind him, looked at Jia Qiang and laughed, and asked: "Jia Qiang, why do I hear people say that you let the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division spread the word all over the world, women Is it harmful to wrap your breasts? I didn’t realize it. You like bigger ones? There are several wet nurses in my palace, do you want something like this...?"

"Lao Wu!"

Li Jing frowned and shouted.

Li Xiao and Li Shi also laughed and cursed a few words. Jia Qiang looked at Li Xuan who was gesturing in front of him, and shook his head speechlessly: "I am not a good official, I have no luck to bear it. My lord, you can keep it for yourself."

Li Xuan winked and said: "Jia Qiang, please stop pretending in front of us. Tell me, what do you want to do if you don't want women to wear bras?"

Jia Qiang coughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, I just talked about this matter in front of the Emperor and the Queen. There is already detailed data to prove that women wearing bras are not only detrimental to the woman herself, but also prone to childbirth difficulties." , it is also not conducive to the growth of the heirs, and there are more premature deaths. If the clothes are not worn, the possibility of dystocia and the possibility of the heirs dying are several times lower than those of the clothes. These are all sent by the lower officials to find out. Of course, if there is any disbelief, , the same goes for checking it yourself. The more you check, the clearer the data will be."

As soon as these words came out, even Li Xuan couldn't laugh anymore.

Not counting the second child's house, which one of their elder brothers' houses has not had a baby die in infancy, and which house has not had a beloved concubine die in childbirth?

I thought it had been like this since ancient times.

Who would have thought that it would happen because of a mere bra wrap?

The third prince, Li Xiao, the prince of Kehuai County, looked the ugliest. The others were all deceased concubines, and his legitimate son, who was only one year old, had just died.

He looked at Jia Qiang and said in a deep voice: "Is that really true?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "The verification is very simple and does not require the intervention of the minister. The prince only needs to send people to select a thousand households of ordinary people and farmers who have never had their breasts bound, and then select a thousand households of high-sect families who have had their breasts bound. Nearly ten By integrating and comparing the data on dystocia and premature death of children in recent years, the conclusion will be obvious. Or if we expand the scope and survey 10,000 households, the data will only become more obvious!"

Li Xiao said sternly: "Of course I will go and verify it, but since you already knew about this, why didn't you report it earlier?"

Jia Qiang was startled when she heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, she looked at Li Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, are you blaming this official?"

Li Shi, the king of Kerong County, was busy and laughed at the side: "Jia Qiang, the King of Kerong County is not blaming you. A child just died in the third brother's house, and he was my nephew. Hearing this now, he will inevitably lose his composure. , please be more considerate."

Li Xuan also urged: "Third brother, this is not Jia Qiang's errand. Besides, he has just returned to Beijing not long ago, and it is too late to report early. Just make trouble with him, and he will report it to his grandmother later. Let’s see who eats the steak!”

When Li Xiao heard this, his face was still ugly, but he couldn't say anything else. He just snorted, turned around and left first.
