The Queen's Prime Minister Raiders

, "Yes, you wait."

When I gave her the plaster, I remembered to check whether my friend was burned, "Are you okay?"

Wenping shook his head: "It's not me, it's Amei."

Anya looked over there and knocked, "Is she burned?"

"I didn't get burned today. When I took off my clothes, there were scars all over, and the arms were the most."

Anya said, "How come there are scars all over the body?"

"Then how do I know? Give her a wipe, at least live together, don't tell others, especially the one in your house, talk bad."

Anya's roommate was still washing up and did not come back. She went back into the room and found the medicine for scar removal, and sent it to Wenping's room.

Amei is still timid, and it is the same with Wenping.

Anya scratched her head, she had no experience dealing with people of her age, so she went back to her room to sleep.

Amei and Wenping got along for a few days, and became a lot closer. Wenping took her with him when he was cooking, and called her when he was studying with Anya.

When we gathered in the library to read books, Amei said that he would go out for a while.

People have three urgencies, An Ya and Wen Ping didn't take it seriously, Wen Ping asked a little more: "Shall I accompany you?"

Amei waved her hands quickly, and stammered, "No, no, I will go by myself."

Anya asked after she had gone for a while: "How is she?"

Wen Ping shook her head annoyedly, "If I'm outside, I don't want to talk to her, and she's pitiful, so I'll take it with me first."

He stayed silent all day long and was dumbfounded.It's not that I hate it, it's just that my personality doesn't suit me.

Anya sat for a while, feeling hungry, touched her belly, and said quietly: "Yesterday, my family secretly sent me cakes, and I took them to eat with you?"

Children at this age love to eat it the most. Wenping was really excited and shouted in a low voice, "Okay, go and come back quickly, don't let the teacher catch you."

Food from outside is not allowed in the academy, so far only Anya's family can bring it in.

Anya ran back to her room on short legs and found the pastry hidden in the suitcase. It was her favorite thousand-layer lotus cake.

Tucked into his clothes, he went out lightly, when a wooden board knocked on the ground, he was so scared that he hit the threshold directly.

The door of the opposite room was broken, and the door panel fell outside the house, revealing the scene inside.

46. ​​Toss and turn

When he heard about Anya's accident, Saburo was the first group of parents to arrive, picked up his sister and left, but was stopped by the head of the mountain.

"Wait a minute, the king, the princess needs to stay and testify."

Saburo stared, "Your Majesty and Prime Minister Zhong already know about the accident in the academy and want me to bring the princess back immediately, how dare you stop me?"

Xiao Hui said slowly: "The princess is a student in my academy, so it is necessary to cooperate with the academy to verify."

Unless Anya didn't want to study in Dingfang anymore, Saburo really didn't dare to take her away recklessly. After weighing it, he took Anya off his horse and went to the main hall of the academy together.

There was a clear slap mark on Amei's face, and she was standing in the center with a girl. The girl Anya knew but was not familiar with, her name was Zhuo Xuan, and she was also a student of Dingfang Girls' School.

What Anya accidentally saw was a campus bullying incident. Zhuo Xuan pushed Amei to the ground and beat her face. Amei got up and ran away without realizing that there was a door in front of her.

Xiao Hui asked sternly, "What is the reason?"

Amei obviously came from a bad family background, Zhuo Xuan was the son of an official, so it was rumored that there was a lot of gossip.

Zhuo Xuan was stubborn and didn't speak, and Amei just cried.

Xiao Hui: "Then ask the family to take it back. The academy does not accept arrogant and rude students."

Seeing someone leaving the academy under Xiao Hui's order, Zhuo Xuan was so anxious that she didn't want to read the book anymore, and said, "She is my servant! I can beat you if I want! You don't care!"

Everyone present was stunned.

Amei cried and begged the head of the mountain not to let her go home, but she didn't say a word about her background.

Xiao Hui had no choice but to go to Jingzhao to transfer his household registration.

It was very late, Saburo didn't want to watch the commotion, so he said, "I'll take Si Niang home first."

Xiao Hui had no time to take care of him, "Please be strict with the king of the county."

Saburo snorted, "Shanchang, the students who come in don't know the household registration? How can someone send his family to study with confidence?"

Xiao Hui ignored his yin and yang, and personally drove the brother and sister out of the mountain gate.

After the household registration was transferred, Xiao Hui looked at the two strangely. Zhuo Xuan said that Amei was her servant, which was true, but in fact, the two were sisters.

Amei is Zhuoxuan's father's maidservant daughter. Amei's mother has no status and gave birth to a girl. The Zhuo family does not recognize the child, so she can only follow her mother's slave status.

Why can I study in Dingfang?Zhuoxuan's Amei's biological father is an official of the Ministry of Rites, the immediate boss of the academy, so it's not difficult to let someone in.

Of course, the whole school can't suspend classes because of such a trivial matter. Anya was able to go home because she witnessed the scene of the crime, and she has a special status. When Zhong Wanna heard Saburo explain what happened, she asked in puzzlement: "Can't Amei go to school? "

"Uh..." Zhong Wan didn't know how to explain it. There are three types of low status, the lowest of which is slave status. Back then, Zhong Wan was the first type of low status.

Zhong Wan told the truth, "You can't study for cheap."

Anya couldn't understand, "Why?"

Zhong Wan raised her head and thought for a while, "The rules are like this, if everyone breaks the rules, how will His Majesty govern the people?"

Don't talk about the origin, just talk about the influence, and he is very skilled in changing concepts.

Anya opened her mouth: "You can't even go to the academy? Amei is so pitiful."

Poor thing, Saburo complained in his heart, [-]% of those who serve you in the palace are slaves, or official slaves, and all future generations have reserved slavery, and they can't get rid of it unless they are ordered by the emperor.pity them?If they themselves feel sorry for themselves, you are in danger.

Zhong Wan said: "It's pitiful, she has broken the law and she will be punished."

This matter went directly to the court, the former number one scholar, today the Donggong Sheren, Wu Wenbin has returned, and he can speak freely in the court again.

"Zhuo Tao, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, used public power for private purposes, violated the law knowingly, and sent a lowly student to the academy. The criminal is under the Yan Law, and he should be severely punished."

As a scholar, I always look down on the cheap people who are inferior to me, but I still want to study?Reading is a sacred thing in the hearts of the people at that time, how can you let the cheap people touch it, if you break the law, report it immediately.

Zhuo Tao, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was questioned by the Yizheng Hall, and the emperor and several prime ministers were present.

Zhuo Tao tremblingly said: "I really love my little girl in my heart. I have been scolded by my wife for a long time at home, and I want to send her to the academy to study."

Zhao Jiamin was incredulous, "You said you love your daughter, why is she still a cheap girl?"

Some families will entertain guests with slaves, and the child born to the slave may not be their own. If you feel uncomfortable, even if the child is not yours, you can deny it. Denying it is equivalent to not recognizing it as your own child.

This little lady is a slave, which means that Zhuo Tao doesn't recognize her at all, so how can she love her?

Zhuo Tao said weakly: "My wife is so jealous, the first few concubines and children are all dead, I'm afraid that I will follow in the footsteps."

Zhong Wan stopped in time, otherwise Zhao Jiamin, a simple and good person, would get entangled with himself, "This is not the reason for you to send the humble to school. If you confuse the good and the humble, you can get one hundred rods. You are an official in the dynasty. You will be reduced by one class, and you can get eighty rods. It can be redeemed with gold and silk."

This punishment is very heavy for the common people, but very light for the officials, Zhuo Tao said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qin Shu: "Wait a minute, Mr. Gao, what do you think?"

Gao Qi sat steadily on his buttocks. Seeing Qin Shu asking him, the old man was of course not polite, "If you know the law and break the law, you will be punished and demoted."

Zhuo Tao's face turned pale.

Zhong Wan winks at Qin Shu: What's the matter with you?

Qin Shu didn't seem to notice, "Duke Gao can discuss with Wang Qing, that's all."

Zhuo Tao was taken out of the palace by the Imperial Forest Army and temporarily suspended. Zhong Wan followed behind Qin Shu, and the empress didn't turn her head to give her a look for a long time.

It was not until Weiyang Palace that Zhong Wan called her, "Your Majesty."

Qin Shu: "Yes."

"Why do family matters get involved in officialdom?"

"..." Qin Shu raised her head, "As an official, I can't tolerate ignoring the law. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Zhong Wanyuan didn't feel it yet, she felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "Your Majesty..."

Qin Shu sat down and said, "You can't bear the fact that lowly people will never make it to the top. With precedents, it's not impossible for them to be able to study, isn't it?"

Zhong Wan pulled up a chair and sat down, graciously admitting, "That's what I thought, wouldn't it be better to take it step by step?"

Qin Shu shook her head: "Now is not the time."

The relationship between all parties is at a delicate time, and it is not appropriate to create side effects. "Abolishing lowly status cannot be done in a day or two. Once the edict is issued, how many people can accept it? Since it can't be done, don't startle the snake."

Zhong Wan suddenly said: "You also thought about it?"

Qin Shu: "No, I was born to stand on the top of the peaks, and I can't see the mayflies at the foot of the mountain. If the abolition of the book is not done well, the country will be shaken, and I will not gamble."

Zhong Wan had mixed feelings, "Got it."

Tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, Zhong Wan covered her face with the quilt and kept reminding herself that Qin Shu is the king, power needs to be consolidated, and the best way to consolidate is a stable social class.

Every time I comfort myself, I think of the days of those low-level people living in brothels, like a stick in my throat.

Qin Shu never stopped her when she was thinking wildly and pointed her in the right direction like never before.

The two lived as before, everything was as usual, as if nothing happened.

After Zhuo Tao's penalty, Wu Wenbin proudly showed off in front of the prince and Xia Mi.Xie Bailing suddenly played, abolishing private slaves and replacing them with hired servants.

In addition to official slaves, there are also some private slaves, which are different from the forced nature of official slaves. Private slaves can't live on their own, and sell themselves as slaves for others to send.

Who would sell himself as a slave if he really had no other choice?Xie Bailing wanted to change the relationship between these people and the host into employment, just like hired workers.

Qin Shu remained silent. She finally knew why she always had such fond eyes on Xie Bailing.
