Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

Xie Yunchu prepared pen and ink, sat down at the table with a bit of trepidation, then picked up the pen and opened the first memorial.

This first book was half reviewed by Xiao Yao.

Tao Wenjun, the daughter of the president of Yunshou Academy in Jinzhou, remarried and took part in the written examination this spring and ranked first. The prefect of Jinzhou deprived her of the qualification to take the autumn examination on the grounds that she did not observe the virtues of a wife and was jealous of her current husband's concubine.

The memorial was submitted by the dean's student, and the prefect of Changzhou submitted it on his behalf, requesting the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation and make a wise decision.

In the annotation, Xiao Yao's meaning is very clear. The emperor has made clear the decree that women can also engage in business and politics. In addition: the law does not stipulate that a wife must agree to her husband taking a concubine.

Furthermore, the wife helps the husband, and the husband can also help the wife. If the wife is not virtuous, the husband can divorce her, and if the husband is not upright, the wife can remarry.

When the annotation reached this point, two drops of ink were smudged on the memorial, which showed that A Yao had been thinking about this for a long time.

Why did she think for so long?

Xie Yunchu thought that there was nothing wrong with this review. The problem was that even the emperor had not resolved the rights of women, and this was not necessarily smooth sailing in A Yao's hands.

After thinking about it, Xie Yunchu had no choice but to continue annotating on the side and ordered Changzhou prefect Zhang Yongzhao to be the governor of Jiangnan. Firstly, since Zhang Yongzhao had submitted this memorial, he would not discriminate against women's rights.

Secondly, A Yao obviously wanted to resolve this matter. She thought about it for so long because she was afraid that if it was not handled properly, it would affect the rights of men and cause unrest. Then it was up to men to seek justice for Tao Wenjun.

Prince Chen's Palace.

After Xiao Yao entered the mansion, she was surprised to see that except for the doorman, there was not even a maid, guard or servant. Where were the people she had arranged?

Just as I was wondering, I walked to the main courtyard and found that Xiao Chen was talking to the servant in the mansion.

There were about twenty people at the beginning, all men, without a single maid.

When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Yao, he waved his hand and asked her to leave.

"emperor."

Xiao Yao frowned, "Where are those maids?"

"I dismissed them all."

Okay, okay, all the maids she arranged were beautiful as flowers. What she thought was, if the emperor and Aying really didn’t have that fate, at least by arranging so many beautiful maids, maybe the emperor would be tempted by them after looking at them for a long time, right?

She is so naive.

The emperor never even looked twice at a girl as beautiful and intelligent as Aying, so why would he be interested in a maid?

Forget it, as long as he is happy.

After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Yao said, "At the end of the month, A Ying will be engaged to the Chief Censor, Qing Chang'an."

"pretty good."

"Okay?" Xiao Yao was really angry, "I—Aren't you afraid that she will get hurt?"

Xiao Chen looked at her, "How could that be?" He didn't believe the word 'only'.

All things in this world are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and they cherish each other. There should not be only 'only one'.

"Are you questioning Uncle Rong and what Old Man Ding said?"

"No."

"what is that?"

Xiao Chen's lips moved. What was that? He himself didn't know what it was. He felt that even after he took that step, he didn't feel any sense of "fate".

He felt that he had a stronger affinity with Buddhist and Taoist temples.

Xiao Yao could see that her brother had no feelings for Aying at all.

There really is no clue at all.

"I've already delivered the message." Xiao Yao stood up.

Xiao Chen also stood up and said, "You don't have to worry so much."

"I'm not worried about you, I have my own thoughts."

She had her own selfish motives. General Lin Shi'an had set out for the border in early spring. She estimated that by now the army had arrived at the border. When the report of victory came, she would have only one worry, which was how to govern the Cangyun Kingdom well, and then live a leisurely life like her father and mother.

Therefore, she fixed her eyes on Xiao Chen again, "It cannot be just me who can continue to have an heir, and my brother also has the responsibility for Zhenzhen's matter."

"If we were an ordinary family, who would care whether our brother was devoted to Buddhism or Taoism?"

"Born in the royal family, every decision we make will affect all the subjects of Cangyun Kingdom."

"The dwindling of royal descendants is not a good sign. At best, it will attract covetousness, and at worst, it will overthrow the government. How can the eggs in an overturned nest remain intact?"

She seemed calm as the empress, but in fact, those men were not as submissive as they seemed.

Fortunately, the emperor had a trick up his sleeve. Ever since Zuo Ruiyang returned to Beijing and resumed his post as the Left Prime Minister, all those questioning voices were silenced by Zuo Ruiyang's tactics.

Xiao Chen looked at her.

Xiao Yao also looked at him, "Brother," she said with a sweet smile, "I can stay in this position for the rest of my life, but I don't want to be alone."

"In the royal family, there is no such thing as kinship. How many royal brothers have killed each other?"

Xiao Yao smiled, "Royal brother is right, but we are the children of our father and mother. Our father's attitude towards the throne is our attitude, so today, I am here to advise my brother."

Xiao Chen sighed imperceptibly.

He sometimes thought, if he had not been exposed to Buddhism and Taoism since childhood and had not experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature, perhaps he would not be so calm?

What is the love between men and women?

There are very few parents in the world who are as tolerant and loving to their children as the Emperor and the Empress.

He had seen people selling their daughters for fame and fortune in times of peace, and he had also seen parents exchanging their children for food in times of famine.

In order to survive, they first sold their young daughters, weak wives, young sons, old mothers, and old fathers.

I have seen too many great villains.

He had also seen kind people who were selfless and righteous, such as Master Changkong, Master Ding, and Uncle Rong...

In this world, he felt that he could tolerate everything, but the only thing he didn't think was that he would one day love a woman like his uncle Rong or his father.

If he can't love her, what's the difference between him and those crazy people?

"Brother, if you regret it one day, everything will be different now—"

Leaving this sentence, Xiao Yao left Prince Chen's Mansion.

Xiao Chen looked at the receding figure. If he regretted it one day, perhaps only then would he deeply feel that he was a living being of flesh and blood.

Jinrong Palace.

Xiao Yao looked at the memorial that had been reviewed, hugged the young man and kissed him twice, "You are really my good wife."

Xie Yunchu pursed his lips and smiled, "Glad to serve."

"Hmm - don't you find it irritating or uncomfortable?" Xiao Yao was thinking about the memorial submitted by the Changzhou prefect that she had seen before, so she asked this.

Xie Yunchu said: "As my sister's husband, I should naturally do my job. Why should I feel uncomfortable?"

"But in this world, men have been respected for thousands of years."

"Well, it has been thousands of years. The father is the leader of the son, the husband is the leader of the wife, at home, obey the father, after marriage, obey the husband, after the husband dies, obey the son." At this point, Xie Yunchu sighed, "Being the emperor's husband of my sister, I am deeply loved by my sister. I am not wronged, but I also feel that my fists and feet are restrained, not to mention the thousands of women confined in the back house."

Xiao Yao looked at him, "You——"

Xie Yunchu took out the memorial that he had kicked out beforehand and flipped it open. “What my sister wants to do is the right thing to do.”
