Chapter 78: Reading Too Many Novels
Yinzhen was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, but in the end he didn't know whether he was angry at Wen Yao's words or at himself. Yinzhen snorted coldly and shrugged his head sullenly. Wen Yao couldn't help but touch Yinzhen's bald forehead, "Actually, Master Jiu, you have already moved into the Central Plains, why do you still keep such a hairstyle? Just to show off your Manchu rule?"
Yinzhen raised his head and looked at his wife's disdain. He knew that his wife disliked this hairstyle. "You don't like it?"
"Don't you think it looks like a rat's tail? Even if no one in the future likes it, oh~ that's not right, there are still people who like it," Wen Yao thought about it, there is no absolute in everything, [for example, bald people may still like it! ]
Yinzhen: ...It’s better not to say that.
"You don't know history? This should be recorded," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, then waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't know the record either."
"What history? Are you talking about your hairstyle? I really don't know," Wen Yao was also very straightforward. He really didn't know. "I don't want to know either. I just want to know if it can be changed."
"Then why don't you ask if the Manchus and Han people can completely integrate?" Yinzhen laughed, "If you ask me, I can only say that you want to restore the Han hairstyle, unless the Manchus and Han people can completely integrate."
Wen Yao laughed out loud, "Do you know that I am not a Manchu in my later life?"
"You don't like the Qing Dynasty, you are proud of the Tang Dynasty. When you mentioned the Qing Dynasty, you didn't even notice that your tone was wrong." Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao's surprised eyes with a smug look on his face. "I am a little devil who grew up in the palace. How could such a thing be hidden from my eyes?"
"I like the Tang Dynasty not only because it was a Han dynasty, nor because it was powerful," Wen Yao looked at Yin'er's hairstyle, "I don't like the Qing Dynasty not only because it was ruled by you Manchus. The change of dynasties is inevitable. We are all the people of China. In fact, the dynasty without a tyrant is your Qing Dynasty. But most people in later generations don't like the Qing Dynasty. In addition to other reasons, there is another reason that you have been suppressing the Han people under the gimmick of Manchu-Han integration, but you want to use the Han people and Han culture."
"There is a very unpleasant saying, 'You still have to put up a memorial archway after becoming a Biaozi,'" Wen Yao looked at Yin'er's angry face, "I know that Master will be angry, but you can hide your identity and be an ordinary Han Chinese for a day. If you accidentally bump into a Manchu, you will know why I said that."
In the Qing Dynasty, if a Manchu killed a Han person, he had to pay some money as compensation. Even more serious crimes were only lightly punished. However, if a Han person injured a Manchu, he would hardly be spared.
Our ancestor Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms. Actually, not all the people in the Qin Dynasty were Qin people. But everyone liked our ancestor. There were many reasons for their love for him, but one of them was that he treated everyone equally, regardless of race or... gender.
"In the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the Li family were kings. How many people were punished for murder and arson? The Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus. Shouldn't there be some exceptions?" Yinzhen frowned and disagreed. "Wenyao, if the Han people were in power, would they be nice to other races?"
"Yes, we can!" Wen Yao was very sure, as if there was a kind of pride emanating from the bottom of her heart. In later generations, when she heard many things on the Internet, she would often ask why Baba didn't fight back, and why he would help when they encountered difficulties.
But China's tolerance and generosity, its tolerance have been passed down through the ages and are the pride of every Chinese descendant from the bottom of their hearts. It can treat everyone equally, it can even tolerate enemies, including all!
As their eyes met, Yinzhen looked away after a while. He didn't know why he didn't dare to look directly into Wen Yao's eyes at the pride and confidence. He really wanted to know why she was so sure, so confident, and so... proud!
"You are not a Han Chinese now, so don't say those things in the future," Yinzhen sighed slowly and reminded, "I think the present is good."
"I only say this in front of you," Wen Yao seized the opportunity to speak well of herself, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. I only say certain things to you. I only trust you and I love you the most."
Yinzhen blushed, "How can you be so shameless?" But he couldn't suppress the smile, "Don't you like the fourth brother? Why do you only believe that I only like me?"
"Master~ As for the Fourth Master, you should know about the policies that the Fourth Master implemented in his previous life, right? Oh~ You probably don’t know, you died a long time ago. It’s like this, the Fourth Master implemented many policies that benefited the country and the people, and many people in later generations liked him because of this. For example, I also like Li Shimin and Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. That’s how much I like him." Wen Yao didn’t have any special liking for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. She really liked her Di Renjie and Qin Shihuang!
Sometimes she wondered how nice it would be if Qin Shi Huang and Di Renjie could be together.
But this kind of liking does not involve any love between men and women, it is just pure...admiration!
If I really have to say that I can only like one, Wen Yao has always used Sima Qian to inspire herself, not Qin Shihuang or Di Renjie, because Sima Qian was castrated and still wrote "Records of the Grand Historian".
Every time she encountered difficulties, she encouraged herself. Could there be more humiliating than Sima Qian? He could write the Records of the Grand Historian, so don't I have the courage to face difficulties?
She has only a vague knowledge of history, but she will like a certain character. She may only know a little about it, but it is enough for her to be useful.
"That's called admiration, not love. Don't say that in the future. If it gets out, I won't be able to protect you." Yinzhen couldn't suppress his smile. "From now on, you can only say that you like me. I don't force you to say that, but you are my wife. It's not good for you to say otherwise."
Wen Yao paused and said, "Master is so nice." You are fooling a fool. Okay, as long as you are happy.
Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen's slightly smug eyes and the smile on his lips that he couldn't suppress. Seeing Yinzhen like this, she could actually move up to level two. This bottom line was lowered step by step, and a good husband was cultivated step by step.
Yinzhen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, and suddenly, cowpox!
This is the task given to him by the Emperor, and it has to come from Wen Yao's mouth. Once the cowpox becomes legitimate, he can slowly get other useful information out of it.
"Let's not talk about that annoying Fourth Brother. I really want to take a look at the future. Perhaps smallpox can be prevented and treated in the future," Yinzhen looked at the tightly closed window, pretending to be relaxed but actually a little nervous as he changed the subject.
Wen Yao blinked, "Smallpox? It can be prevented and treated." Wen Yao said what Yinzhen wanted under his expectant gaze, "It's cowpox. Using cowpox to vaccinate people has a higher survival rate than using human pox. People infected with cowpox will no longer have the problem of dying from smallpox, most of them."
[By the way, has smallpox long been extinct? Chickenpox isn’t smallpox, right?] Wen Yao thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t confirm it. However, she could confirm that cowpox could prevent and treat smallpox, after all, she had read too many novels about it.
