Chapter 803: Queen Ma: I Also Want To Ask, What Is The Crime Of Women In The World? [Please Subscrib
In the Fengtian Hall, more than three thousand civil and military officials, as well as some of their wives and daughters, all stood in specific positions.
The chamberlain standing by the side also sang loudly:
"Your Majesty is here! Your Majesty is here! Your Royal Highnesses are here!"
As the chamberlain's loud voice came out, Zhu Yuanzhang also took the hand of Queen Ma and walked out first, and then Ma Jindian sat on the throne, leaning slightly forward, with a pair of majestic and indifferent tiger eyes. Scanning the whole place.
Then Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Di, King of Jin Zhu Fan, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Ji, King of Chu Zhu Zhen, and King of Qi Zhu Yi, together with their respective wives, walked to the royal steps of the Dan Palace under the dragon and phoenix seats. , stood still.
Then all the princes turned around, some were gentle and calm, some were domineering and arrogant, some were looking forward and majestic, some were brave and solemn, some were smiling but not smiling, some were solemn and deep, or some were looking down condescendingly with cold eyes. More than 3,000 civil and military officials, noble marquises, local envoys, prefects, prefects, and county magistrates from Yuan Shi.
Without saying a word, there was a terrifying majestic aura that could determine the livelihood of all people in the world with one word, and the death of all people in the world with one word, pressing down on all officials from the imperial steps of the Nine Layers Dan Palace.
All civil and military officials who were glanced at by Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes felt as if they were being targeted by the top and most powerful predators.
An indescribable chill slowly penetrated their bones, making them all lower their heads, not daring to look any further.
Especially those local chief envoys, prefects, prefects, and county magistrates, although they had also heard from teachers and colleagues in the capital about the "Eight Dragons Conquering the Same Dynasty" before.
But this is not the first time that I have witnessed such a terrifying scene of "Eight Dragons Conquering Together" with my own eyes.
An ultimate form of Zhu Yuanzhang, with seven vassal princes who have gone one step further and have now evolved to a complete form. Such a scene would give you nightmares just thinking about it, let alone seeing it with your own eyes now.
At this moment, more than two thousand civil servants and generals from the local area could not help but slightly raised their heads and looked sideways at the civil and military officials of the capital standing beside or in front of them.
However, I saw that all the civil and military officials in the capital had calm expressions on their faces, as if they had been used to it for a long time.
[He is worthy of being an important minister in the center of the imperial court. Let’s not talk about other aspects for the time being. Just the concentration and determination that Mt. Tai has in front of him without changing his expression is far behind me and other local officials!]
[It seems that if we want to become a minister in the center of the imperial court, we need to practice more. 】
[We must work hard to learn from the important officials in the capital!]
At this moment, more than two thousand chief envoys, prefects, prefects, and county magistrates from various places looked at the civil and military officials of the capital with admiration.
But all the civil and military officials in the capital, who were looked at with admiration by the local officials, could not help but sigh and worry in their hearts:
[Your Highnesses are becoming more and more powerful, and they are becoming more and more similar to His Majesty. 】
[Although this is not the first time I have seen this scene, I still feel uncomfortable every time I see it. 】
[The ancient and modern Eight Dragons are in the same dynasty. I don’t know how your Majesty plans to solve the problem of the emperor’s succession in the future. 】
[After all, there is only one emperor, but there are as many as seven princes who are capable and qualified to inherit the emperor's position. 】
[If this arrangement is not appropriate, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will also reproduce the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Western Han Dynasty!]
[If your highnesses raise armies to fight for the throne in the future, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be reduced to ruins!]
Regardless of what the capital ministers, local civil servants and generals, and noble marquises thought, the chamberlain standing below the steps of the Dan Palace shouted again after the princes stood firm:
"Blessed, Emperor!"
Then more than 3,000 civil servants, military officers, noble marquises, and some of their wives and daughters present all knelt down and shouted long live.
The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, together with their imperial concubines, turned sideways and bowed to where their emperor and queen mother were.
After the ceremony, the Great Court Meeting of the 18th year of Hongwu officially began.
Queen Ma, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, looked at the chamberlain beside her.
The chamberlain, who received the signal from Queen Ma's eyes, immediately shouted loudly again:
"Announcement, civilian daughter Lin Erya, civilian woman Wang, and civilian woman Zhao enter the palace."!"
Following the announcement of the chamberlain, four strong women appeared outside Fengtian Hall, each supporting an old woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties, a woman who looked to be in her twenties or thirties, and a woman who was about seven or eight years old. The little girl walked slowly from outside the palace.
He walked all the way to the front of the Dan Palace and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
The more than 3,000 civil servants, military generals, noble marquises, and some of their wives and daughters who were present looked at this scene with blank expressions on their faces. They didn't quite understand why these folk women and girls were suddenly called into the palace. .
"Get up."
Queen Ma looked at the two women and the girl Lin Erya below and said in a gentle tone.
The old woman, civilian woman, and girl Lin Erya in front of her were the ones she specially ordered to go to the officialdom for the past two days.
One is a little girl who has just started foot binding for half a year, the other is a woman who has had her feet bound for more than ten years, and the third is an old woman who has had her feet bound for a lifetime, which corresponds to the three age groups of foot binding.
After getting Queen Ma's permission, the four strong women and the common women Wang, the old woman Zhao and Lin Erya also got up one after another.
Then two strong women supported the civilian woman Wang and the old woman Zhao respectively to prevent them from falling.
Then the other two strong women, one pulled the little girl Lin Erya into his arms, took off her embroidered shoes, and finally held her tightly with both hands, restraining her movements and preventing her from what happened next. struggling.
Another strong woman began to take out a long piece of white linen from her sleeve.
Seeing the long white linen cloth, Lin Erya, who was imprisoned among the strong women, had a flash of fear in her eyes.
At the same time, among the wives and daughters of the capital's civil and military officials present, many ladies' expressions changed immediately, and some of the daughters of the capital's civil and military officials couldn't help but take a step back when they saw this scene.
Obviously, they also recognized what it was.
Lin Erya, who was imprisoned in the strong woman's arms, looked up at Queen Ma on the phoenix throne with fear on her face.
Queen Ma nodded towards Lin Erya, telling her not to be afraid.
Lin Erya, who was originally scared, also remembered that Queen Ma held her in her arms yesterday, gently rubbing her feet to soothe the pain in her feet, while looking at her with pity and love on her face and saying:
"Poor child, your feet are bound, doesn't it hurt?!!"
"How could such a small foot be so willing to be entangled and mutilated like that!!!"
After that, Queen Ma talked to her a lot, and she remembered the last two sentences were:
"If it hurts you again tomorrow, you and all the sisters in the world will no longer have to bind your feet or bear this kind of pain. "Are you willing?!!"
"If you don't want to, I still promise that after tomorrow, you and other sisters will no longer have to bind your feet or endure this kind of pain!!!"
It was really painful to have her feet bound. If possible, she really didn't want to experience the feeling of having her feet bound again.
Moreover, the Queen also promised her that even if she didn't want to, after tomorrow she would no longer have to have her feet bound like the other sisters.
But although she was young, she was sensible by nature and realized that her willingness and unwillingness would definitely make a difference to the Queen.
Although she didn't know the difference, she vaguely knew that if she was willing, it might be more helpful to the Queen.
And she also knew that if the Queen didn't find her, she would definitely continue to bind her feet and continue to suffer.
So even if it was to repay the Queen's kindness, she was willing to have her feet bound again and experience the pain of foot binding again.
[Just once, just once, just one more time of pain. ]
[It's been painful 275 times before, it's okay to be painful again. ]
[Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...] [D11404217 Feilu 134572180]
Lin Erya kept comforting herself in her heart, and at the same time, her original fear gradually stabilized.
However, as the strong woman wrapped the cloth strips around Lin Erya's feet, and then gradually tightened the cloth, the four curled toes began to move from the soles of the feet to the heels - backwards.
Lin Erya's mood, which had just been stabilized by self-comfort, was immediately broken by the intense pain from the soles of her feet.
"......"
"............"
"DES...SE...DES......"
The shrill and tragic wailing and crying instantly spread throughout the Fengtian Hall.
No one expected that the opening ceremony of the 18th year of Hongwu would start like this.
In the hall, more than 3,000 people, from the dukes, nobles, and ministers of the six ministries to the local governors, prefects, prefects, and county magistrates, as well as the wives and daughters of the civil and military officials of the capital, watched a girl of only seven or eight years old having her feet bound in public!
The imprisoned Lin Erya struggled desperately, trying to break free, but no matter how she wailed, cried, and sobbed, the strong woman behind her did not waver at all, and did not give Lin Erya a chance to break free.
At the same time, the other strong woman pulled the cloth strip in her hand harder, and the bound little toe began to press under the waist of the foot, and the second toe pressed under the big toe joint...
The Queen Ma on the Phoenix Throne looked at the pale face below, the cold sweat on her forehead, and the hysterical crying Lin Erya, and she couldn't help but breathe and bite her lips tightly.
She originally thought that she had overestimated the pain that foot binding brought to women, but it was not until now that she realized that she had still greatly underestimated the pain that foot binding brought to women
[Thirty breaths, within thirty breaths, if no one speaks, I will immediately call a halt. ]
[Twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven...]
Empress Ma closed her eyes and could not bear to watch any longer, while silently reciting the thirty breaths she had given in her heart.
More than 3,000 civil and military officials in the palace, as well as the wives and daughters of the civil and military officials in the capital, saw this scene and understood what was going on.
This is binding the feet of a little girl!!!
All the civil and military officials have heard about foot binding to some extent.
Among them, a small number of the wives and daughters of the civil and military officials have bound feet.
However, even for the small number of civil and military officials whose wives and daughters have bound feet, they have not said that they have seen the tragic situation of young girls' feet binding with their own eyes like now.
Because for them, this is all private affairs of the women in the harem, and their wives can handle it well, and they will not watch it.
For other civil and military officials whose wives and daughters did not have their feet bound, foot binding was something they had only heard of.
As for how much pain footbinding will cause women, they don't know, and they don't have this concept in their minds.
But after seeing the scene in front of them, they immediately had a vivid and concrete impression of foot binding.
Even though the impression is a bad one.
The wives and daughters of the capital's civil and military officials were divided into those who had no idea of foot-binding, those who were planning to bind their own daughters' feet, and those who had already started binding their own daughters' feet.
Among them, the ladies and their daughters, who had no idea of foot binding, saw this inhumane scene in front of them. While their faces were shocked and horrified, a thought flashed through their hearts:
[Fortunately, I didn’t let my daughter’s feet be bound!]
[Fortunately, my mother didn’t let me bind my feet!]
Thinking of this, all the ladies looked at their daughters with more affection, and their daughters also looked at their mothers with more admiration.
As for those young girls who knew that their mothers were going to bind their feet, after seeing this scene, the fear and resistance in their hearts immediately rose to the top, and then they all used begging expressions to bind their feet.
Guang looked at his mother, hoping that she would not bind his feet.
As for the girls who had already begun to have their feet bound, seeing this scene in front of them, a look of sadness flashed across their faces. (Li Nuo's)
They know all too well the pain of foot binding.
But behind this clarity, it is the result of countless days and nights of blood and tears.
And can this kind of pain stop?!!
Thinking of this, some of the girls who had their feet bound boldly looked up at Queen Ma on the steps of the Dan Palace, pinning all their hopes on Queen Ma.
Song Lian, who was standing in the front row and was one of the closest to Lin Erya, saw the girl in front of her, who was several years younger than her good granddaughter, crying until she almost fainted.
In this way, he could no longer resist standing up and said solemnly to Queen Ma:
[Dare I ask my empress, what is the crime of a child that deserves to be tortured like this?!!"
The strong woman who was binding her feet next to her also followed Queen Ma's previous instructions and stopped immediately as long as someone spoke while the feet were being bound.
【...Five...Four!】
Hearing Song Lian's words, Empress Ma, who was counting down in her heart, also opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and took two steps forward, without any trace of the gentle and kind expression on her face.
Instead, he looked very serious.
Queen Ma first glanced at Dai Sigong, the imperial hospital official. Dai Sigong, who had also received instructions in advance, immediately bowed towards Queen Ma.
Then he quickly walked up to Lin Erya and immediately began to use acupuncture, massage and other methods to treat the damage caused by Lin Erya's foot binding.
Seeing this scene, Queen Ma, who had been holding on to her heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she stared at Song Lian with an unchanging expression on her face and asked in a deep voice:
"I also want to ask Mr. Song, what crime can women in the world have to suffer such torture?!"
