“Concubine Heyele, Concubine Ezhuo may have forgotten the traitor Obai,” Concubine Li reminded lightly from the side.
Concubine Li didn’t care about the dispute between Manchu and Han, but she also didn’t allow her face to be dull. If it were during Tiancong's Chongde period, Concubine Li would not have said a word.
After all, the ministers and concubines of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolian dynasties made the final decisions in the previous dynasties. Some looked down upon them with contempt and accepted them as they pleased. After all, their lives were not as important.
However, things are different now, and the national policy is completely different. From the previous emperor to the current emperor, they all respected Han culture, such as emphasizing ethics and governing the world with filial piety.
During the reign of the late emperor, Shi, the concubine of the Han army's flag, the Concubine Ke, ascended to a high position.
This is undoubtedly a signal, which means that the status of their concubines under the Han Army Banner is no longer as low as that of a concubine. They also have the opportunity to aspire to high positions!
As long as they have this opportunity, they, the concubines of the Han army banner, will no longer be any worse than the concubines of the Manchu army banner.
Besides, Concubine Li has received preferential treatment because of her status since she entered the palace. Therefore, she also understood that time has changed and today is different from the past. The concubines of the Han Army Banner have had the opportunity to rise.
Concubine Li smiled brightly, and her attitude and voice reminded her very well: "It can be seen that no matter whether it is Manchu, Mongolian or Han, it is inevitable that there will be bad apples, right?"
Concubine Li's eyes calmly scanned the concubines who were still standing.
The traitor Obai was guilty of treason. Not to mention the whole family, but also the followers, even the princes of the clan, were all quietly dealt with.
The greatest sin in the world is rebellion.
Although Concubine Ezhuo discriminated against the Han people, she was not blind, so she snorted and said: "We are all black sheep, unlike the Han people, who are all black sheep and cannot be compared. ”
It is already a popular trend among Han girls to bind their feet. When Emperor Taizong came to rule the Central Plains, he deeply felt that the "foot-binding" of Han women was harmful to the peace of the world. Out of compassion, he also ordered the abolition of foot-binding.
However, this has become a chronic disease, and even Emperor Taizong himself could not do anything about it. In the end, he could only order that the women of the Eight Banners were not allowed to have their feet bound.
The old and young men in their Han families talk a lot about benevolence, justice and morality, but they sit back and watch the old, young and young women and children in their families suffer from acquired disabilities, and even say that this is orthodoxy. What a joke!
Maybe during the Tang and Han Dynasties, women bound their feet. They are nothing more than a bunch of wimps who don’t even have the courage to admit their mistakes, let alone correct them.
On the contrary, he inflicts his own mistakes on the old, young, women and children, and refuses to change them until death, as if after making the mistake, they will be able to clean it up, and he will be a gentleman.
Ridiculous and arrogant, hypocritical and cowardly, they are beasts in human skins. They might as well be dead and make people feel clean. What is there to think highly of?
The daughter’s family she taught is also a hypocritical hypocrite.
"Concubine E Zhuo must provide evidence when she speaks. If not, she will be held responsible." Concubine Li reminded lightly, but also somewhat meaningfully. "Our Han Army Banner and the Han people are not the same thing."
For example, Han women cannot enter the palace as the emperor's concubines, but the women of their Han Army Banner are also serious emperor's concubines! Even though the status is not high.
In the previous dynasty, those who served as officials were also descendants of the Eight Banners.
To be precise, the status of Han officials is indeed slightly lower than that of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, but compared with the Han people, there is definitely a world of difference. He is not a person of the same world.
"Sister Li is right. None of the girls from the Han Junqi family have bound feet." At this point, Concubine Dong did not hesitate to stand with Concubine Li. They were both born in the Han Army Flag, and when the Han Army Flag was humiliated, they themselves were also humiliated.
"That's also because of the so-called classics that you Han officials regard as classics." Concubine E Zhuo refused to give in. "Let me think about how you Han ministers treat those so-called classics. Oh! That's right!..."
Concubine E Zhuo sarcastically said: "You Han ministers wish you could treat them as sacred scriptures and Buddhist texts. , burn incense three times a day, and kowtow sixty times a day, worshiping the ancestors! Oh, I’m afraid I don’t even care enough to worship the ancestors!”
That’s it! Such things made her feel sad, hurt her liver, and hurt her eyes even when she stood and sat with them.
"I have seen all the concubines," he said, and Ding Ruzhong came out. This is the great eunuch beside the queen, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace. His status in Kunning Palace is equivalent to Li Dequan's status in Qianqing Palace.
The concubines did not dare to accept his gift, and they all politely said, "Eunuch Ding."
"The concubines haven't left yet?" Ding Ruzhong only acted as a smiling tiger, and did nothing else. I don’t know, some minor frictions and arguments among the concubines in the palace have happened every day or two. But as long as peace is maintained, the Queen doesn't care.
Then he looked at the crowd with a smile and said: "The empress's decree is that the concubine Bai is jealous and evil, her thoughts are not right, and her words and deeds are dishonest. The mastermind and followers have all been dealt with, so he ordered the servants to inform the six palaces so that they can be called the harem's masters. The concubines and slaves should take this as a lesson. Is the slave about to go to deliver the order?”
Ding Ruzhong had a very good attitude. After speaking, he said in a very polite manner: “I have to go on an errand, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s do it ourselves.”
"We're leaving now," Concubine Yehenala stood up and said. "Eunuch Ding, go and get busy!"
"Hey!" Ding Ruzhong responded. "Concubine Nala and Concubine Ma Jia should also be careful, and the servants will not disturb them."
The queen is a Manchu, so she is naturally proud of the Manchus. What's more, the improvement of the status of the Han ministers was at the expense of the interests of the Manchu ministers. The Queen is also a member of the Manchu court, so naturally she is not happy to see this kind of division.
But she is the queen! The Queen will closely follow the Emperor's footsteps and will never be a drag on the Emperor's national policies.
Therefore the queen will never show too obvious bias. But many times, the queen can pretend that she doesn't know.
Moreover, it is also the queen's responsibility to balance and mediate the conflicts between the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners concubines. Preventing conflicts from arising is also a method of mediation.
Ding Ruzhong left with two slaves, "I'm afraid the Queen is not in a good mood today. It's a sin for us not to make the Queen happy, so don't gather outside Kunning Palace!" Nala The concubine was supported by the maid serving beside her, and she spoke calmly and with some sense.
She not only supported with words, but also with actions. She glanced at the palace maid waiting on the side and said, "Huan'er, let's go!"
Concubine Li understood that these arguments could not be settled. As a result, he only took a breath and walked with the personal palace maid.
The Queen still calmed down everyone's emotions. Concubine Ma Jia also said: "The Queen's Kunning Palace is not a gathering place. If anyone sees it, we will all gather in Kun Ning Palace." I’m afraid it’s not very pretty outside Ning Palace.”
"Let's go!" After saying that, Concubine Ma Jia ordered the personal maid standing beside her, and the maid helped her away.
The concubines also left one after another. In addition, the concubines of the Han Army Flag only looked at each other and walked away.
