Unconsciously, the female and male officials, and even the female and male students in Taiwei Changzhu Mansion, had been completely divided into two factions.

Men have a consistent ideology and instinctively reject women, and women are also keenly aware of this, so they stick together for warmth and in turn reject men.

Li Qingning felt warm in his heart, interrupted them, and started to lecture: "Okay, it's time to start class."

“This time, we are going to learn the laws of heaven written by the Star Lord of the Li Dynasty.”

The process of changing one's thoughts is extremely long, so Li Zhao plans to start with the people around him and instill in them his reformed Buddhist and Taoist thoughts with socialist characteristics.

And, the laws that will apply in the future.

At the end of the month, Wu Meiniang submitted twelve suggestions and submitted a new agricultural book "The Basic Occupations of the People".

The emperor was very pleased and praised them, and the two of them were called the Emperor and Empress of Heaven.

The curtain blocking Wu Meiniang was finally removed.

Wu Meiniang began to sit side by side with Li Zhi and receive congratulations together.

In the same year, General Li Ji passed away, and Li Zhi stopped attending court for seven days to mourn.

At this time, Li Zhao asked Li Chao to find Ruyi.

In the Daming Palace, Li Chao and Ruyi were walking hand in hand beside the Hanyuan Hall, with the palace people standing five meters away from them.

Li Chao asked Ruyi: "Ruyi, how are you doing with your studies now?"

Ruyi said respectfully, "Xingjun, I have finished studying the Five Classics and started reading the Four Books."

From not being able to recognize a few characters to being fluent in the Five Classics, this is quite a progress.

Li Chao smiled and said: "Not bad, I didn't expect that you are still so hardworking even in the mortal world."

Arrived in the mortal world? Could it be...

Ruyi's heart was beating violently.

Li Chao looked at her with a smile: "Otherwise, why do you think this seat and my sister value you so much?"

Li Chao's voice was as light as the wind in the valley: "Sister Right Law Enforcement."

Right Law Enforcement Star God, Censor of Heaven!

Ruyi was very excited. Just as she was about to say something, Li Chao made a gesture to silence her: "Shh."

"Don't make it public for now."

Ruyi suppressed her excitement and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Li Chao said: "This time we came to the mortal world, not only to eliminate the great disaster in the mortal world, but also to find our own way."

“Find the path of practice we will take in the future.”

Li Chao asked her softly, "What about you? Ruyi, what path do you want to take?"

Ruyi was rarely confused: "My way..."

Li Chao said: "Your teacher hopes that you can learn well, become an official of Xuanzun, and suppress those men. This idea is not wrong."

"But if your thinking is limited to the confrontation between men and women, it is too narrow."

"Defeating a man is just a small episode on your road to growth, and it should not be the goal you strive for your whole life."

Li Chao handed her a book: "Right Law Enforcement, the Imperial Censor of Heaven, has the duty of reporting to the Emperor of Heaven and criticizing current malpractices."

"Go read this book and discuss with your teacher how you should proceed on your path."

Ruyi got the book and went back to read it carefully with his teachers.

The palace lady sighed and said, "I haven't seen this article for a long time. It turned out to be written by Concubine Xu."

"In his later years, Emperor Taizong Wen launched many campaigns to attack barbarians and built palaces wantonly, causing widespread resentment among the people. Xu Hui, a concubine in the harem, once wrote a memorial to Emperor Taizong titled "Remonstrance to Emperor Taizong to Stop the War and Dismiss the Military Service" and wrote a comment to the emperor."

A Shangyi seemed to be lost in distant memories: "She was an extremely intelligent woman with great political vision. Since the death of Empress Wende, she was the most outstanding woman in the harem and could give advice on state affairs."

Ruyi unfolded the flowery note stuck in the book: "There is another flowery note in the book."

Everyone gathered around to take a look: "Is it... the list of meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion?"

"Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui... and Li Ji, Princess Pingyang Zhao."

The highest ranked among them is Princess Pingyang Zhao.

The chef looked complicated: "Duke Yingguo and Princess Pingyang Zhao were actually not included in the Lingyan Pavilion."

"It's obvious that their achievements are no worse than anyone else's."

Ruyi tried to figure out Li Chao's thoughts. Now she knew who she was in her previous life, but she never said anything.

Ruyi said: "Li Chao Xingjun is Xuanzun's sister. Her opinion is Xuanzun's opinion."

"And Princess Pingyang Zhao is Xuanzun's Xuanwu Marshal and Xuanzun's most trusted and beloved general."

Shang Gong tapped the table with his fingertips: "Xuan Zun once expressed his dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment the princess received at his own Hundred Days Banquet."

The palace lady frowned and said, "So the Li Dynasty Star Lord gave you this scroll, is it because he wants you to learn from Concubine Xu, and submit a memorial with the excuse of letting Duke Ying enter the Lingyan Pavilion, and at the same time send Princess Pingyang Zhao to the Lingyan Pavilion?"

This is the most reasonable explanation at present.

At the end of the book, there were a few words written: Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, and Longshou Road.

Hanyuan Hall was where all officials came to pay homage and where grand court meetings were held.

Longshou Road is the road that every court official will take when going to discuss government affairs.

Ruyi guessed: "No, not only that, Xuanzun probably wants me to... advise the court and argue with the ministers."

The palace lady looked serious and said, "Although there are female officials, female generals, and female marquises nowadays, most of them are not involved in court affairs, and they cannot just attend court meetings casually."

Shang Yi sighed: "Xuan Zun's move is to let us female officials also enter the court."

Shangfu said: "The last time the female officials of the Changzhu Mansion jointly wrote a letter to establish the Xuannv Temple, it should be just the beginning."

Being in the imperial palace, the political center, the ladies-in-waiting were particularly perceptive.

Their speculations were all correct.

Ruyi suddenly felt unsure: "At the court meeting, arguing with the officials? Me?"

Shang Gong looked at her steadily: "Yes, you."

"Are you scared? Ruyi."

Ruyi nodded hesitantly: "Well... I'm a little scared."

"follow me."

The palace lady took her through the palace gate easily and came to the Longshou Road.

Longshou Road is extremely wide and can accommodate several carriages. It is paved with fine blue bricks and stones, making it flat and clean to walk on.

Shang Gong brought Ruyi with her and said to her, "Follow me and come up slowly."

She turned around, grabbed the railing, and walked backwards up the stairs, step by step.

Ruyi did as she was told and walked backwards, her vision getting higher and higher.

The palace lady said to her, "Did you see it, Ruyi? This is Longshou Road, built on the highest Longshou Plain in Chang'an."

Shang Yi, who followed him, was walking up the stairs. She stared at Ruyi and said, "Longshou Road is a place that many scholars have studied for their whole lives but still cannot step into."

"Now, I am being stepped on by you."

Ruyi lowered her head slightly and stepped on it...?

Finally, they reached the highest point and could overlook most of Chang'an.

Hundreds of markets in Chang'an were arranged in an orderly manner, like stars and clouds, guarding the imperial palace and the Tang Dynasty.

Ruyi was a little dazed. The sun in the distance was so dazzling and yet so bright.

The palace lady looked into the distance and said, "Longshouyuan, what a high place it is, with such a wonderful scenery."

Ruyi nodded: "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery."

She said in a trance, "It turns out that climbing high has such benefits."

Shang Gong said firmly: "So, you have to climb higher."

Shang Yi: "You need to go higher and further to see a wider world."

"Instead of being confined to the harem, to Xuan Zun's side, and opening your eyes to see only this square sky."

"We are old and don't have this opportunity anymore, but Ruyi, you are still young."

Shang Gong's voice was very soft: "Go, spread your wings and fly high."

“Do whatever you want to do, go wherever you want to go.”

They put their hands on Ruyi's shoulders: "We will help you."

Ruyi and her teachers wrote the memorial all night, revised it again and again, and finally submitted a perfect memorial.

Then it went through the formal process and was submitted to the Xiantai (Imperial Censorate).

As expected, it was overwhelmed by the censors.

Ruyi had long anticipated that her memorial as a young lady would be drowned out, but when it happened, she couldn't help but get angry.

Ruyi came to the Xiantai and questioned the censors: "May I ask, censors, why did the female officials at the Second Saint's side say they didn't see the memorial I submitted a few days ago?"
