    The New Year¡¯s holiday is always short, and the third year of Zhengde will come soon.

    In the Jinluan Hall, all the officials are smiling. The half-month holiday during the New Year is really refreshing. They can eat, drink and have a good rest at home comfortably every day. Some officials from other places can even go back to their hometowns to see themselves.  My old parents show their filial piety.

    Thinking about the past, as an official, there were not many days to rest at all. Every day before dawn, just rush to the morning meeting. The key is that at the end of the year, there were very few days to rest.

    As for saying that I would go back to my hometown to see my parents during the New Year, that is even more of an extravagant wish.

    Many people have been working as officials outside since they were admitted to the Jinshi. They may have been officials for decades. When they get old and their health is not good, they are allowed to return to their hometown to take care of themselves, or their parents have passed away.  You can go home and observe filial piety.

    So much so that when a young man leaves home and his eldest brother comes back, his local pronunciation has not changed and his hair on his temples has faded.

    This is not an exaggeration, but a true portrayal of ancient officials. The more senior an official is, the less likely he is to return to his hometown.

    Like Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, Li Dongyang is almost seventy years old and his health is almost failing. The emperor only allowed him to finally return to his roots and die in his hometown. This is already very good.  .

    There are also people like Liu Jian who retired in his 80s. After he was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 34, he worked as an official in other places for nearly 50 years. During the whole process, he had little time and little time.  I have the opportunity to go home and see my parents.

    Only when you are 70 or 80 years old can you return to your hometown. This is the most typical portrayal of ancient officials.

    In the words of scholars, there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. The only way is to be loyal to the emperor and the country first.

    However, since Liu Jin took the initiative to come up with the Xiu Mu Code, the situation has been very different, especially now with the emergence of trains and cars, transportation has become very convenient.

    Even from the capital to Jiangxi, Huguang, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, and even Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou and other regions, it has become very convenient with railways. Coupled with cars and highways, there is another half-month holiday during the Chinese New Year.  .

    It has become possible to go home for the New Year, and now telegraphs and telephones are slowly becoming more popular. Even if something happens, telegraphs and telephones can be used to deal with it.

    In this regard, there have been no restrictions since Emperor Hongzhi. Since ancient times, emperors have paid attention to governing the world with filial piety. Naturally, we cannot object to officials returning home during the New Year to honor their parents.

    This is even more true when it comes to Emperor Zhengde. After all, Emperor Hongzhi is still alive and well. You must be filial and show it to the world.

    It has become a norm to return to your hometown during the Chinese New Year, not only for these migrant workers in the capital, but also for the officials in the capital.

    Sometimes, Emperor Zhengde even generously allowed some of his concubines to return to their hometown to visit their parents. This made the emperor's benevolence known all over the world.

    You must know that the women of ancient emperors were actually far less beautiful than they appeared, and were more miserable.

    Women who enter the palace will basically stay in the palace until their death. Those concubines who have given birth to children for the emperor may be better off and their status will be improved. At the same time, they can also go to their son's fiefdom to follow them when they grow old.  The son enjoys happiness.

    "If there are not even a son and a half daughters left, it will be really desolate after the emperor leaves.

    In the early Ming Dynasty, there was even a burial system, that is, the emperor would designate some concubines to be buried together before his death. Generally, the concubines who were buried were the concubines without children, and the concubines with children were basically not buried.

    This system was abolished during the Zhu Qizhen period. This is the only thing Zhu Qizhen can do that is worthy of praise.

    So once this woman enters the palace, it is equivalent to entering death row. The only way to live a good life is to please the emperor. If the emperor likes her, life will be easier.

    But there are three thousand beauties in the harem, all of them are beauties. It is not easy to win the favor of the emperor in such cruel competition.

    What's more, all kinds of palace fights are also extremely powerful, and if you are not careful, you may never get over it.

    For the Ming Dynasty, this situation was relatively better, because the Ming Dynasty had a prince system. Under the eldest son system, the competition for the throne was not as fierce as in other dynasties, and the struggle in the harem was relatively peaceful.

    In addition, the women in the harem of the Ming Dynasty were basically women from ordinary families, and often did not have strong family members.The soul of the nation for thousands of years is the history of the great Chinese nation.  "

    Hearing Liu Jin's words, Emperor Zhengde and the ministers present were also in awe and nodded.

    From the time when Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, from the monarchs and ministers to the common people, believed that this was the restoration of the Han Dynasty's clothes. What they inherited was not the rule of the former Yuan Dynasty, but the clothes and clothes of the Han Dynasty's previous dynasties.  inherited.

    "The reason why the Ming Dynasty is as strong and prosperous as it is today is because we inherited the great unity and character of the Qin and Han Dynasties, inherited the grace and magnanimity of the Tang and Song Dynasties and the spirit of tolerance and tolerance, and continued the legacy of the Yanhuang Dynasty.  Bloodline is China¡¯s spirit of constant self-improvement!¡±

    "So I think that we, the Ming Dynasty, should use the new Chinese calendar to calculate from the time when Qin Shihuang unified the six countries. It is now 1751 in the Chinese calendar!"

    "Use the Chinese calendar and the year number to calculate the year, so as to tell the world that our country of the Ming Dynasty will continue the country of our Chinese nation for thousands of years!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
