Chapter 788 The People Are the Foundation of the World

"Because the man who beat her was her husband, many people think that it is a household matter for a husband to beat his wife. As long as there is no murder case, there is no need to alert the government." Xie Jin said lightly, "The wife will also think that her husband is the head of the family. If If you sue him, the consequences will be serious. If the husband is beaten by an official, he will be more resentful and vent it on his wife and children. If an official is involved and the husband is beaten to death, the wife will lose her husband. "

Hao'er was silent for a moment: "It's okay not to have a husband like that."

"But a widow who loses her husband will not live a good life either." Xie Jin shook his head, "When outsiders know that her husband died after being reported by her, they will point fingers at her. If she is poked in the spine in the future, people will curse her. You may even be bullied by men, and you will never have a peaceful life.”

Hao'er was silent for a moment: "Her husband is alive, but she still has no peace."

"So when you meet such a man, it seems that no matter what you do, it is wrong, and a woman can only admit that she is unlucky." Xie Jin sighed, "What do you think your highness should do?"

Hao'er lowered his eyes slightly and walked in the alley holding hands with Xie Jin. He thought carefully for a while: "Since he went back to beat his wife after losing money, why not let him gamble?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, then patted his head with appreciation: "Your Highness is so smart."

Hao'er didn't like being coaxed by him like a child, but he couldn't be rude to his elders, so he could only stay silent.

"How can we prevent him from gambling?" Xie Jin then asked, "Is there anything your Highness can do?"

Hao'er pursed her lips and thought for a while.

The questions Xie Jin asked tonight were too complicated. It was difficult for him to accept these things that were completely different from those in the palace.

Men gamble, but the concept of gambling is not very clear to him.

What kind of gambling method is it, and how to stop him from gambling?

And if the husband dies, why will the wife be criticized? Should a man not be punished for making a mistake?

The wife is obviously the victim, why should she live in peace all her life?

Hao'er had only a partial understanding of these questions and had no way of giving an answer.

"It's not too late yet. I'll take your Highness to another place to have a look." Xie Jin took Hao'er's hand and walked out of the alley, took off the reins from under the tree, held Hao'er on the horse, and followed him to get on the horse. "Just now we looked at the most ordinary people's house. Now we will take you to see the official's inner residence."

Hao'er sat on the horse and turned to look in the direction of the alley: "Are we not going to care?"

"What does it matter?"

Hao'er pointed in the direction of the alley: "The wife who was beaten just now."

"How to care?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "I am a man. If I show up at her house rashly, it will bring disaster to her. She is injured. Logically, we should hire a doctor for her, but what are our identities? What if her husband comes back to see her and asks for a doctor and suspects that she has hidden the money? "

Haoer was confused by his question.

"The world looks peaceful, but in fact there are many people like that family just now, with violent men and weak women." Xie Jin said calmly, "It is a rule passed down from ancient times that women obey men. Meeting a good man is a woman's blessing. When a woman encounters a bad-tempered person, she will suffer for the rest of her life.”

Hao'er pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Don't think too much." Xie Jin touched his head, "Tonight I just want to show you the different sentiments of the people. There are all kinds of things in the world. What we see tonight is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s not just about prosperity and wealth, it’s also about people’s suffering. People are the foundation of the world.”

Hao'er was silent for a moment: "Why doesn't your father care?"

"Didn't I tell you just now? The king is in charge of the affairs of the world. There are not many things like just now. They happen all over the world. If the king takes care of everything, can he handle it?" Xie Jin chuckled, "The king is in charge. What is important is the well-being of the people, so that every household can have a stable meal and wear warm clothes; the king must punish corrupt officials and eliminate filthy officials, and try his best to ensure that there are enlightened and diligent officials in all parts of the world; the king must reuse generals to maintain the family and the country. For stability and territorial integrity, we must make good use of good ministers..."

"Uncle Jin." Hao'er frowned tightly, "You talked too much, I can't remember it."

Xie Jin was silent for a moment. Well, he almost forgot that the little prince was only more than three years old and could not understand what he said yet.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to know too much for the time being." Xie Jin said with a warm smile, "In the future, if you go out often, you will see a lot of different things, and slowly you will understand everything."
