Tens of thousands of captives in the northwest were temporarily detained by the Gyeonggi garrison.

The commander of the Gyeonggi garrison was Zhou Man.

"General, these captives will return to the northwest in two days, we can finally relax!" the deputy general said with a smile.

The imperial decree has been issued, and the Northwest Commander has confirmed that the Northwest Army will return to the Northwest in a few days, so there is no need for them to continue to watch.

Zhou Man glanced at him, "What's the matter with being relaxed? Hurry up and practice!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly a soldier came to report: "General, a prisoner wants to see you."

"I'll see you when he said I'll see you?" Zhou Man waved his hand, "No see!"

"He said he has information about the Northwest Army to tell you."

Zhou Man asked doubtfully, "Who is he?"

"It's the military advisor next to Thief Tang, I don't know his name."

Zhou Man frowned, "Okay, take me there."

Life was not easy for the captives.

The Gyeonggi garrison had enough to eat, but they could only eat some batter, which was as light as water.

Luo Yi was already thin and weak, after so many days, his body became more and more emaciated.

He is digging the soil with a shovel.

Due to the war, the roads near the capital were somewhat damaged, and these captives were brought to rammed earth to build roads.

Zhou Man stood not far away, squinting at Luo Yi's back.

Under the scorching sun, the young man's whole body was soaked with clothes, which were tightly attached to his back, outlining his stubborn and prominent spine.

He told the soldier: "Go and call him over."

The soldier went away in response.

A moment later, Luo Yi followed the soldier.

His face was extremely pale, and he trembled when he walked, as if he was about to fall down the next moment.

But he still insisted on performing a standard gentleman's etiquette.

Zhou Man said impatiently, "What do you want from me?"

Luo Yi's eyes were as deep as ink: "There are many people here."

"Okay, come with me." Zhou Man turned around and left.

He wants to see what purpose this person has.

Zhou Man was tall and burly, and he was born in the army. He walked very fast, and he threw Luo Yi out of the way in a short while.

In order to keep up with him, Luo Yi gritted his teeth and speeded up, but he had more energy than he wanted, so he could only watch Zhou Man's back getting further and further away depressedly.

Zhou Man didn't wait for him, and went back to the barracks on his own.

After waiting for quite a while, Luo Yi came in unsteadily, his face pale and blue.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Zhou Man gulped down a large pot of herbal tea in front of him.

Luo Yi was hungry, thirsty and tired, his body felt like a fire on one side, and on the other side like an ice cellar, his mind was blurred from the pain.

He actually asked, "Can I have some water to drink?"

Zhou Man: "..."

He was afraid that the man would collapse before he could say anything, so he handed him a cup of cold water.

Luo Yi drank it hastily, as if a traveler in the desert finally arrived at the oasis.

"Thank you."

He is only 25 years old this year, looks delicate and weak, and looks extremely harmless.

But Zhou Man knew very well, how can someone who can work beside Tang Cheng be really weak?

"Tell me, what information does the Northwest Army have?"

Luo Yi stopped talking nonsense, and said straight to the point: "The Northwest Army has a special mission in the north."

Zhou Man: "..."

He sneered, pretending not to believe it: "You said there was one? Even if there was, how did you know?"

Luo Yi said calmly, "I can tell."

"Since you saw it, why didn't you kill them?"

Luo Yi asked back: "Why did I kill them?"

Zhou Man was stopped by the question, he said in disbelief: "You are a military division of the Northwest Army, why do you want to keep a secret?"

"If you kill them, there will be new details." Luo Yi said, "If you don't kill them, you can play with them."

Zhou Man felt that he was quite a thief, so he asked, "Then what's the point of telling me this?"

Luo Yi's eyes dimmed: "I am no longer a military advisor of the Northwest Army, and I will never stay in the Northwest again."

"So you want to hand over the list of detailed works?" Zhou Man asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Luo Yi said firmly: "I want to see Your Majesty."

"..."

Zhou Man dug his ears, "You are a rebel prisoner, want to see His Majesty? I advise you not to daydream."

"Detailed work list..."

"You are not the only one in this world who can see it. What's more, I can also order someone to torture you."

Luo Yi couldn't help laughing.

"I heard that the acting commander-in-chief of the Northwest is only a teenager. Heh, it seems that the current emperor is just a fearful hero..."

"Bang!" Zhou Man slapped the table hard, "If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut you to death!"

Luo Yi raised his eyebrows, "Am I wrong? He left Ding Guogong unused, but he used a young boy as the commander-in-chief, isn't it because of fear?"

"What do you know?" Zhou Man sneered, "If I remember correctly, you were only a teenager when you entered the camp. Why, you are allowed to be regarded as a military adviser by the soup thief at a young age, and no one else is allowed to be a teenager compared to you." Are you stronger?"

If those Northwest Army really underestimated Yang Ji'an, I'm afraid they will suffer by then!

Luo Yi: "..."

He didn't want to continue arguing, he just said: "I want to face the saint."

"Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, I don't have time to see you." Zhou Man seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Did you just say that you will not be in the northwest in the future? You are a prisoner, where will you go if you don't go to the northwest?"

Luo Yi said that he had exhausted all his strength up to now, his whole body was hot and cold, and he was about to answer when suddenly his eyes went dark.

With a "boom", he fell to the ground.

Zhou Man: "..."

He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to invite the doctor, but as soon as the doctor arrived, the sage came soon after.

Zhou Man had a headache: "Let the doctor wake him up!"

After Luo Yi woke up, he was taken into the palace.

Lou Yu met him in the Palace of Qinzheng.

He is thin and thin, his face is as white as a ghost, and only a pair of eyes reveal a faint light.

Luo Yi didn't expect to see Lou Yu so soon.

After Lou Bing ascended the throne, Lou Yu and Tang Cheng had confronted each other several times. Luo Yi had been helping Tang Cheng with his advice, but he had never taken advantage of it.

Deep down in his heart, he admired Lou Yu.

But when he thought about Lou Yu's handling of the Northwest Commander, he felt a thorn in his throat.

Their family members are all alike!

He stared at Lou Yu, and Lou Yu was also looking at him.

Feng Erbi couldn't help scolding: "Presumptuous! How dare you look directly at the emperor's holy face!"

Luo Yi weakly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and saluted: "The sinners pay homage to Your Majesty."

"I heard that you want to see me, but I'm curious. Where do you have the courage? Are you afraid that I will cut you alive?"

Lou Yu didn't let him get up, so Luo Yi continued to lie down on the ground.

"Is it just a joke not to kill the surrendered soldiers?" He chuckled, "The criminals believe that His Majesty will not break his promise."

Lou Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Huo Yan who was sitting beside him, and asked, "This man is a prisoner of the Northwest Army, and you are the commander of the Northwest Army, what do you think should be done?"

Huo Yan said indifferently: "He is the former member of Tang Bandit, he should be killed rather than kept."

"Dare to ask Duke Ding, you have made great contributions, but now you have the title of commander-in-chief, don't you feel aggrieved?"

Luo Yi wasn't afraid of death at all, he just wasn't reconciled.

Huo Yan's eyes turned cold instantly.

"Luo Yi, don't be too self-righteous."

Luo Yi looked slightly startled: "You know my identity?!"

He raised his body abruptly, glanced at Huo Yan, and then looked at Lou Yu regardless.

Lou Yu admired Huo Yan's angry handsome face with a smile, and didn't care about him at all.

Huo Yan said in a deep voice: "Why do you think you can live until now? Just because of your behavior of being a minion, you should have died thousands of times. The reason why you can still speak is that your majesty cares about your father's loyalty."

Luo Yi's eyes widened, and he looked at Lou Yu foolishly.

Lou Yu didn't look at him, but said to Huo Yan: "I just think his experience is somewhat similar to yours, and I just can't bear his death."

Huo Yan felt sweetness in his heart, and his complexion suddenly softened.

No matter how stupid Luo Yi is, he can see that something is wrong, let alone he is not stupid.

The reason why he has survived so far is because he still holds a glimmer of hope.

He can see from Lou Yu's various policies to benefit the people that the new emperor of the prosperous country is a benevolent monarch with a broad mind who loves the people like a son.

If he could get the new emperor to reverse the case for the Luo family, he would pay any price.

But he has no way to meet Lou Yu, so he can only try to realize his wish through Zhou Man's relationship.

When he came to Qinzheng Hall, he thought that Zhou Man had helped him after he passed out, but now that he thought about it, it should be Emperor Zhaoqing's arrangement.

However, the relationship between Emperor Zhaoqing and Duke Ding might not be what he thought.

Only then did Luo Yi understand why Huo Yan said that he was "too self-righteous".

He did miscalculate.

He couldn't help but wryly smiled, and sincerely prostrated himself on the ground again, and said in a loud voice: "Criminal Luo Yi, I beg Your Majesty to avenge Luo Shi's injustice!"

Lou Yu then turned to look at him: "Why should I help you?"

There were two dark fires burning in Luo Yi's eyes: "The sinner just wants to ask for His Majesty's grace. The sinner knows that His Majesty hates me. If His Majesty is willing to reverse the case for the Luo family, the sinner will no longer live in this world. Other than that , The sinner has one more thing to offer His Majesty."

"You mean the detailed list of the Northwest Army?"

Luo Yi: "..."

He did have the detailed list, but from the emperor's teasing tone, the list might not be that important.

He looked sincere: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, it's the criminals who got the axe. The criminals did do a lot of wrong things, but Xian Kao and the rest of the Luo family are innocent. The criminals implore Your Majesty to vindicate the Luo family!"

Lou Yu asked, "Back when Tang Cheng was obviously losing power, why did you still follow him?"

Luo Yi said without hesitation: "The criminal once promised him that he will always help him, and he cannot break his promise."

Why can't he see Tang Cheng's decadence?

But he swore that he must follow to the end.

Lou Yu nodded: "If I clean up the Luo family's grievances for you, what if I want to kill you?"

"A sinner is just a humble life, and death is not a pity. As long as Your Majesty returns the name of loyalty to my Luo family, the sinner must die to apologize!"

As long as the Luo family is rehabilitated, he is willing to die.

"Okay." Lou Yu said lightly, "I can reverse the case for the Luo family, but I need you to do something, and it won't be too late before you die."

"Criminals are willing to serve!"

Two days later, Yang Ji'an and other generals bid farewell to Lou Yu, and led the Northwest Army to Yunzhou.

Luo Yi stayed.

Under Lou Yu's order, the efficiency of overturning the case was extremely high.

Finally, when the evidence is gathered, the truth becomes clear.

Everyone is sorry.

Luo Shilang was obviously a loyal person, but he was unjustly killed by the monarch he was loyal to.

How miserable.

The reputation of the Luo family has been restored, and the men and women of the Luo family who were assigned and used as official prostitutes can of course return to normal life.

But unfortunately, apart from Luo Yi, no one in the Luo family is alive.

Because they couldn't accept the bullying, all the female family members of the Luo family committed suicide with hatred.

Luo Yi cried uncontrollably.

When Anbu searched the blood of the Luo family, he learned about the experiences of the daughters of the Luo family, and those experiences were simply shocking.

After Lou Yu watched it, he became more determined in his plan to abolish the system of official prostitutes.

Official prostitutes, to put it bluntly, exist to please officials.

The officials felt that their status was noble, and ordinary prostitutes would defile themselves, so they came up with such a method.

Some official prostitutes were cultivated from childhood, and some were convicted by officials and filled in by their family members.

In terms of status, the female relatives of the offender's family are more "worthy" of officials who have sex with prostitutes.

However, the existence of this system is so cruel to women?

Regardless of whether the criminal officials are innocent or not, the female family members of these criminal officials' families are basically innocent.

Because they do not have the right to participate in politics.

How unfair is it that they should be punished so inhumanly just because their father, husband or son did something wrong?

As a male, Luo Yi can still be dispatched to the Northwest to seek a lifeline, he can still make meritorious service, and he can be appreciated by others to change his appearance, but what about those female relatives?

After making up his mind, Lou Yu announced the abolition of the official prostitution system at the court meeting.

Unsurprisingly, there was opposition.

It seems that this group of people can't get along with women.

It seems that if they don't object to the emperor's decree, they will appear incompetent.

Xue Qi didn't come out this time.

He has a daughter, but he doesn't want to do these evil things.

"Your Majesty, those are the female relatives of criminal officials, and this is their fate."

"Your Majesty, this system has been around for a long time, and it cannot be abolished at will!"

"His Majesty……"

Many ministers talked in a hurry, listing the rationality and necessity of the existence of the official prostitute system.

Lou Yu just watched their speeches with ease.

Until someone noticed something was wrong and gradually weakened their voice.

Needles can be heard falling in the hall.

Lou Yu smiled and asked, "Have you finished?"

The officials bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Lou Yu clapped his hands and said, "I have listened carefully to your speeches, and I think it makes sense. Your ideas are indeed worth learning from."

Everyone: What do you mean?Your majesty changed?

"I suddenly find this system of official prostitutes very interesting, but yes," Lou Yu suddenly called out several ministers, "If I remember correctly, you seem to often go to and from the Nanfeng Pavilion, so you should like beautiful boys more."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the foreheads of those ministers.

"Then how unfair this official prostitute system is to you?" Lou Yu said solemnly, "How about this, I will make the decision for you and add a system. In the future, the family members of offenders, regardless of gender, can act as official prostitutes. "

Everyone: "..."

Someone came out: "Your Majesty, how can a man be a prostitute?"

Lou Yu asked back: "Are you looking down on the preferences of these lovers? You can have fun as a co-author, but you don't allow others to enjoy it?"

"..."

Dasheng has Nanfeng Pavilion and child molestation, but official prostitutes are official after all, and the preferences of the minority are not taken into account.

Xue Qi suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that abolishing the system of official prostitutes is a good deed that benefits the country and the people!"

"What's Xue Aiqing's opinion? But it doesn't matter."

Xue Qiyi said solemnly: "I have always believed that as an official of the court, one should be conscientious and devoted to public affairs, instead of indulging in pleasure and indulging in sex all day long! Abolishing this system will bring great benefits to the society and no harm!"

As soon as these words came out, many people were offended at once.

Someone retorted: "Does Xue Shangshu never entertain himself?"

Xue Qi replied proudly: "Never."

That person: "..."

Xue Qi suddenly changed his face again, and sighed deeply: "Everyone, you all have relatives in your family!"

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?

No one can guarantee that they can live a smooth life.

Perhaps one day, his wife and daughter will also be tortured inhumanly.

The officials who had jumped were silent.

They don't really want to object, anyway, the official prostitutes are gone, and there are other places to have fun.

Lou Yu said: "Since most of you don't agree, I will add one for your sake. In the future, if an official is convicted of a crime, the offender and all his relatives, depending on the severity of the crime, can be admitted to the Jiaofang Secretary for fun. how?"

The ministers couldn't help stealing glances at their colleagues beside them, and almost vomited.

Who the hell wants an old man!

Yang Guanghuai and Fan Yusheng came out at the same time, expressing their agreement to abolish the official prostitution system.

The rest of the officials followed suit.

In the final analysis, the abolition of the official prostitute system did not really affect their interests.

They don't need to fight the emperor to the end.

The abolition of the official prostitute system was quickly spread from the central government to the local government through the imperial edict.

"Jingcheng Xunbao" also published this matter.

The rest of the prefectures have not noticed anything yet, but the officials and people in Gyeongju have somewhat guessed the emperor's intentions.

Shao Qiulan held the newspaper and said with a smile: "The women in this Dasheng country will thank the Holy Majesty in the future."

It is too difficult to really improve the status of women in an all-round way.

However, the nine-story platform starts from the pile of soil.

From these details, His Majesty strives for opportunities for women to choose their fate bit by bit, in order to subtly influence the thoughts of the common people.

From the same examination for men and women to the abolition of official prostitutes, they are all fighting for women's rights.

Shao Qiulan was sincerely grateful and admired.

"Although it is a good deed," Fan Wenzai shook his head, "but the result may not be a good thing."

Shao Qiulan asked: "How do you say?"

"It is said that men and women take the same exam, but how many women are really willing to take the exam? How many families are there that really support female dependents to apply for the exam? At that time, the results may not be satisfactory."

But Shao Qiulan said: "We can compare according to the admission ratio. The number of people is the second."

"But women live in the inner house, and most of their vision and knowledge are not as good as men's."

Shao Qiulan said with a gentle smile: "Nothing can be done overnight. Hasn't Your Majesty thought about it? He must have thought about it. He made a start for us girls, and we should walk the rest of the way."

"Also, after the official prostitute system is abolished, how should the female relatives of non-offenders be accommodated? They had special occupations before and had no livelihood. What else can they do except reenter the house of love and moon?" Fan Wenzai sighed.

Shao Qiulan put down the newspaper: "Don't pour cold water on it, Your Majesty must be thoughtful. Let's talk about the college. We have many female teachers who plan to apply for the Yamen. It's time to recruit some new female teachers."

"It is."

Gyeongju is far more open than other states, so there are especially many women who apply for the Yamen.

Moreover, the enrollment rate of colleges has been increasing in recent years, and their team of masters urgently needs to be expanded.

The husband and wife have a lot of things to do.

As Shao Qiulan thought, Lou Yu was certainly not a policy that was thrown out with a slap in the face.

After the abolition of the official prostitute system, the imperial court immediately promulgated the "Relevant Measures on the Disposal of Dismissed Employees of the Jiaofang Division".

There are two types of practitioners in Jiaofang Division.

One is cultivated since childhood and has nothing to do with prisoners.After these women are dismissed, the government will give them appropriate severance pay. Whether they continue to work or find other livelihoods, the government will give them freedom.

The other is the female relatives of prisoners who acted as official prostitutes.If they themselves were convicted of the crime, they should be re-sentenced according to the crime.

Either prison or hard labor.

Perhaps it is still unfair to them to sit together, but it is impossible to achieve true fairness.

On the eighth day of July, the martyrs cemetery and monument were completed.

Lou Yu set the ceremony of honoring the heroic spirit on July [-]th.

The construction of cemeteries and monuments has basically been heard by the people in the capital.

Some people even sneaked around to have a look.

They still remember that when the bandits Tang rebelled, the blood of the martyrs stained the palace walls, redder than the setting sun in the sky.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the Emperor drove out, and the imperial guards cleared the way and escorted him, with flags unfurled and canopies fluttering.

Afterwards, civil and military officials of the third rank and above were distributed in columns on the left and right, and followed them.

Behind them is a group of ordinary people in plain clothes, and [-]% to [-]% of them are women.

When the emperor passed by, the people gathered together.

"It's a pity that the Holy Majesty was sitting in the royal chariot and couldn't see the holy face."

"I heard that His Majesty was born beautiful!"

"Who is that man on the horse next to the royal driver? He is born well!"

"You don't even know this? Duke Ding!"

"You are so young! I don't know if there is any marriage."

"No, not only do they have no wives, it is said that they don't even have concubines!"

"Hey, with such a good condition, why haven't you gotten married yet?"

"Who knows."

"What do those people at the back of the line do?"

"I know! They are the relatives of the soldiers who died! They will go to the cemetery with the Holy Majesty to participate in the memorial service."

"I heard that the imperial court also invited Taoist priests from Ziyun Temple to supersede the heroic spirits. Your Majesty is really benevolent and generous."

Not long after, the emperor drove to the cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing.

The Taoist priests of Ziyun Temple have been waiting for a long time.

Shockingly, the master of Qinghe Temple also came to participate in the ceremony!

The last time this temple master came out of the mountain was because Emperor Jiaxi was entrusted with a dream by the former emperor.

Unexpectedly, this time, he actually came to supersede the heroic spirit in person.

Most of the common people in the capital believed in Ziyun Temple, and the martyrs were so excited that they wept when they saw this.

Lou Yu stepped out of the imperial car, and happened to meet Qing He's eyes.

A look of astonishment flashed across Qing He's eyes, and then he regained his composure, performing the ceremony of an alchemist.

"Pindao greets His Majesty."

Lou Yu said solemnly, "Please trouble the Lord."

"Your Majesty is serious."

The funeral ceremony begins.

An altar was specially set up in front of the monument for people to worship.

Lang Ping, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and recited the sacrificial text aloud.

The words of the sacrificial text are simple and sincere, which makes everyone's heart ache and their eyes turn red.

The martyrs were even more weeping.

After reading the sacrificial oration, Feng Erbi held a tray with three bowls of wine on it.

Lou Yu picked up the first bowl and sprinkled it into the ground.

Lang Ping immediately said loudly:

"Respect to the hero—"

A second bowl followed.

"Respect the mountains and rivers—"

The third bowl.

"Respect to all people—"

After pouring three bowls of wine, Lou Yu said, "May the hero rest in peace, may the mountains and rivers be safe, and may all people be safe!"

All the ministers repeated his words in unison.

Everyone's heart was heavy, but there was an indescribable touch.

Lou Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Xuanzhao."

Lang Ping immediately unfolded the edict and read it aloud.

The edict basically said two things:

From now on, this place will be named the Royal Martyrs Cemetery. The martyrs can freely enter and leave the cemetery to worship with their identity certificates. Ordinary people can come to worship every year during the Qingming Festival and the Winter Solstice.

From now on, the treatment policies for military members all over the country will follow the Gyeongju regulations, and will no longer follow the old court regulations.

These martyrs had heard about the treatment of the Qing Army for a long time, and they were extremely envious before, but now they heard this edict, they all knelt down and kowtowed.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Anything with the word "royal" is particularly honorable.

What an honor to be buried in the Royal Martyrs Cemetery after death!

The imperial guards who participated in the memorial ceremony also felt like drums beating, with high spirits.

Next, the Taoist priests rescued the heroic spirits.

In order not to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, the ceremony of superseding the salvation was over soon.

Qinghe walked up to Lou Yu, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the salvation has been completed, and with the protection of His Majesty's dragon energy, all heroes will surely rest in peace."

"Thank you, Lord Qinghe."

Qinghe looked at Lou Yu with a pair of piercing eyes, and sighed suddenly: "It's a pity."

Huo Yan stepped forward immediately, frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

Lou Yu said, "The Master Qinghe's Taoism is profound, but I really want to hear it, why would it be a pity to say it?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qing He didn't know whether he was too courageous or lost his mind, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty is a fairy who came to the world to save the common people in the world. If he is righteous, the river will be clean and the world will be prosperous; if he is bound by the world of mortals, there will be disadvantages."

The words were ambiguous, and everyone was at a loss.

Huo Yan suddenly looked at Lou Yu, his eyes trembling, and his breath suddenly became heavy.

He did this!
