Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Zhou Xingzhi and Qin Ran didn't discuss too much time, and when she left Kun'an Palace, it was just too late, and there was still more than half an hour before night.

Anyway, Ye Ningxuan was still discussing things with Zhong Qingyi, and Zhou Xingzhi turned a corner on the way back, planning to sit in Yang Bai'an's palace, and clocked in to complete the task.

"My concubine sees Your Majesty." After seeing Zhou Xingzhi coming, Yang Bai'an and Liu Lanze said in unison.

"My cousin and my concubine are here." Zhou Xingzhi squeezed out a small smile, and said in a slow voice, "I've been a little busy recently, and I haven't visited you for a long time. How are my cousin and my concubine doing?"

"Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and don't care too much about concubines." Liu Lanze said solemnly, "Concubines are the masters of the palace, and their lives are better than most people in this world. Your Majesty need not worry."

"I have written down the words of my concubine, as long as you live well." Zhou Xingzhi replied dryly.

Except for Li Zhaoyun who likes to make trouble, the last thing she wants is to get along with Liu Lanze.It's not any other reason, it's simply that she is too disciplined and sensible, basically she says what she says and never asks for anything, and she says everything is very good when you ask her, it can be said that she has been educated too perfectly .

In this way, when I face Liu Lanze, I always have the feeling that I am facing the etiquette teacher, and every movement and behavior must be well-behaved.

But thinking of the other party's life experience, Zhou Xingzhi also felt relieved.Not to mention Liu Lanze's family background, and his father is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, it seems that keeping the etiquette is not a big problem at all?

"By the way, how many files has my cousin read recently, and what have I gained?" Zhou Xingzhi immediately shifted the topic to Yang Bai'an.

"Returning to Your Majesty, my concubine has almost finished reading the dossiers of the capital for the past three years, and I have gained a lot." Yang Bai'an glanced at Liu Lanze secretly, and replied politely.

"That's good, cousin, what have you found?" Zhou Xingzhi asked, sitting up straight.

"In the past three years, in the first year, that is, the year when His Majesty first came to the throne, there were more people who committed crimes in the capital. In the next two years, the number of people decreased every month, and the number of petty thefts decreased a lot." Yang Bai'an said while recalling, "However, last year, there were a lot more major cases than in the previous two years, almost the sum of the past two years."

"Does my cousin know the reason?" Zhou Xingzhi frowned slightly. Jing Zhaoyi has not changed since he ascended the throne. Logically, criminals should be caught less and less.

"For the first year, I think it's because His Majesty just pardoned the world and pardoned some people who committed relatively minor crimes. Some of those people should have committed crimes again." Yang Bai'an said, "As for the increase in major cases in the third year I don't quite understand it, but the file shows that one-third of them were the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who participated in the settlement of the case."

Dali Temple Shaoqing?Zhou Xingzhi frowned slightly, "Cousin, do you have any other discoveries?"

Yang Bai'an thought about it seriously, "Your Majesty, after comparison, I found that the crimes committed by the rich and powerful's children are at most a small amount of money. Not to mention going to prison, even if they are punished, it is very rare."

"Of course, I don't mean that Mr. Jing Zhaoyi has any mistakes. I just wonder if it's because the people at the bottom don't understand the laws of my Zhou Dynasty, so sometimes they don't know that they made mistakes. " Yang Bai'an said and paused, "And those with higher status have been studying and studying since they were young, and their understanding of the law must be much higher than that of ordinary people, and they will avoid the part that touches the law when they act."

Yang Bai'an expressed her intentions very euphemistically. She wanted to tell Zhou Xingzhi that although those powerful people did not make mistakes on the surface, they may have just used some means to avoid some punishments.

"My cousin is right, so according to my cousin, how can we improve this situation?" Zhou Xingzhi did not express his opinion, but encouraged Yang Bai'an to express his opinion.

"This..." Yang Bai'an hesitated, and looked at Liu Lanze who was on the side as if asking for help.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Liu Lanze maintained the most standard sitting posture.

"My concubine, please tell me." Zhou Xingzhi's sitting posture, which had collapsed a little, immediately returned to a straight state.

"Children of aristocratic families, sons of lords, sons of officials, and sons of merchants, these people generally receive a good education from birth, and they are also some of the people with relatively high status in Bai'an's mouth." Liu Lanze said and glanced at Yang Bai'an, " Apart from them, among the rest of the people, only scholars who want to obtain fame can study the law, and the number of these scholars is actually far more than the so-called superior people."

"If you look at the total number, that's true." Zhou Xingzhi nodded.

"If you want to solve the problem of people not knowing the law, it is better to start with scholars." Liu Lanze said unhurriedly, with a very steady tone, "Your Majesty, among the former group of people, they don't care about the so-called low-level people. Yes, let alone open the limited educational resources to them. Your Majesty wants ordinary people to understand the law, and that is to let those scholars do it."

Zhou Xingzhi didn't interrupt, but patiently waited for Liu Lanze's next words.

"Baian, didn't you discuss this issue with me before? Now you can share your thoughts with His Majesty." Liu Lanze did not continue, but gave Yang Bai'an the right to speak.

"You can just say what my cousin has to say. Now we are all on our own, so you don't have to be restrained." Zhou Xingzhi added.

Yang Bai'an nodded, "Your Majesty, there are so many scholars in the world, but there are very few who can successfully obtain fame. I think Your Majesty can set up a special post for these scholars, and let them explain some of the most basic laws of the Zhou Dynasty to the local people. Law."

"There will be a problem in this way. If you can't even pass the exam as a scholar, how can you prove that these scholars have real talents and real learning?" Zhou Xingzhi said, "If they tell the wrong knowledge to the people, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Then add an assessment link. Only those who pass the test are eligible." Yang Bai'an said.

"Cousin, if you have time, you can carefully record your thoughts, and then I will discuss this matter with the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Zhou Xingzhi said, Yang Bai'an's idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement it.

Only those specific regulations will not reach a conclusion without discussion for a year and a half.

Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry right now, my top priority is to solve Prince Jia.After clearing away this stumbling block in front of him, Zhou Xingzhi can let go of his hands and feet to do some things.

After sitting in Yang Bai'an's palace for about half an hour, Zhou Xingzhi left.After visiting the two concubines in one breath, she will not have to worry about the harem for the next three days, and she can just rest in Fengyi Palace with peace of mind.

Zhou Xingzhi made an appointment with Ye Ningxuan to have dinner together, so she didn't hurry and arrived almost on time.

Just after crossing the threshold, there was a woman's laughter from the inner hall. After Zhou Xingzhi walked over, he saw Zhong Qingyi holding Ye Ningxuan's hand, lowering his head, not knowing what he was doing.

"Ning Xuan, Concubine Zhong, what are you doing?" Zhou Xingzhi walked forward in big strides, and after seeing the two of them behaving so intimately, he felt a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, as if he was his own treasure being seen by outsiders.

"Qingyi has developed a balm, and we are trying to see how it works." Ye Ningxuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Zhong Qingyi, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Salve? Can I have a look?" Zhou Xingzhi looked at Zhong Qingyi with a smile on his face.

"Of course, I prepared this for Your Majesty. It contains some refreshing herbs. Your Majesty can apply some of it on your hands when you get up early." Zhong Qingyi quickly restrained the smile on his face, and said in a well-behaved manner.

Zhou Xingzhi took the balm from Zhong Qingyi, opened the box and smelled it.To be honest, this taste is really good, a bit like mint with a hint of coolness.

"Is there any balm that tastes the same as Ning Xuan?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"This one, I made one for each flavor." Zhong Qingyi said, for some reason, why did she feel that His Majesty looked at her with a panicked look?

"However, I want to smell the same as Ning Xuan." Zhou Xingzhi said firmly, "After all, we will sleep together at night. If the scents of the balms are different, it will not smell good if they mix."

Hiss, Zhong Qingyi suddenly felt that he had a toothache. He said these words to show off to himself. Are he and Ye Ningxuan on good terms?

But there is a problem here. Strictly speaking, Ye Ningxuan is his wife, and she is his concubine.Even if it was showing off, shouldn't it be Ye Ningxuan showing off the relationship between the two of them?How did it become Zhou Xingzhi to show off?

"Ahem, this problem is easy to solve, okay...Your Majesty, you can use my balm with me first, and wait until mine is used up, and then use yours." Ye Ningxuan also found out the meaning of the words Weird, quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, the meal will be delivered in a while, Tsing Yi, do you want to have dinner with me?" Ye Ningxuan asked.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I still have one important thing to do, so I won't disturb Your Majesty and sister's meal." Zhong Qingyi basically refused immediately, and then bowed and retreated without saying anything to Zhou Xingzhi Chance.

After seeing Zhong Qingyi leave, Zhou Xingzhi's tone became sour, "Ning Xuan, the relationship between you and Concubine Zhong is really good..."
