After all, he still couldn't bear to let him be so frustrated and sad.

Hugging the person into his arms, Si Yuanting rubbed the soft auricles of the person in his arms, and said: "Leave it to me, you are the emperor, and I am your chief assistant."

It was supposed to be him who cleared all obstacles for Chu Yuezhi.

Grabbing Si Yuanting's lapel, Chu Yuezhi didn't listen to Si Yuanting's words. Flicking through his mind, he said: "If you can't seek change now, can you change after you open your mind?"

"Actually, it's not that there are no laws and regulations to protect women. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once made a regulation in the "Ming Dagao". Anyone who molested a woman with his tongue would be punished with a severed tongue. If he did something, his hands and feet would be cut off." Si Yuan Ting had consulted relevant historical materials a long time ago, but such laws and regulations were not followed by the Daheng Kingdom. The reason was that the etiquette system did not tolerate strict laws, and too many people opposed the establishment of torture for women.

"Si Jiu, in fact, father and queen have always blamed me." Chu Yuezhi seemed to have not heard Si Yuanting's words, and said to himself: "Back then, father and queen always thought it was me who made the envoys have evil thoughts about me. Wrong, it's all my fault that I got into trouble because I grew up like this. I forgot in the past, but now that I regained my memory, I remembered it all. I was in Kunning Palace some time ago, and Shixi also told me a lot. She asked me, Why do those people who have evil thoughts about you still shamelessly look down on you, thinking that you deserve to be trampled if you are male or female? I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't figure out why. "

There are also those rescued victimized women who are homeless because they lost their innocence, were spurned and scorned because they entered a brothel, and were rejected by their families because they were forced to be concubines. In a good embroidery house, it is only by changing a name and being another person that they can start over, and finding another good relationship and marrying a good son-in-law is something they dare not hope for. They only hope to support themselves with their own hands, rather than being forced to Israel waits.

Why should he be despised, blamed and looked down on even though he is a victim?

Aren't those who should be ashamed, not those who have evil thoughts in their hearts?

And the etiquette and law that caused such a result cannot be overthrown or even modified.

"I just want to protect those who have been injured, and to give more protection to those who have not been valued for a long time, but why is it so difficult when it should be very simple?" Chu Yuezhi said slowly. He asked in a loud voice, not about Si Yuanting, but about etiquette.

They are all his people, aren't they?But why, he can't even do protection?It is obvious that status and status have been distinguished, isn't it enough?

Maybe not enough.

To him, they are all ordinary people, but to those who firmly defend the etiquette and law, they are just things after all.

"Huangfu Liangyu, I must let her inherit the title of military general and go to the frontiers. I also want to see her make military achievements in the future, as she herself said, proving that women can be as good as men." Chu Yuezhi waited for a long time. He spoke again, straightened his back again, and gently pushed Si Yuanting away with his hands, his face was calm and indifferent, he didn't have so much time to feel sorry for his setbacks, there were too many things on this throne Wait for him to do it.

Si Yuanting looked at him, then stretched out his hand and swept the porcelain placed under the hanging words to the ground.

The fine blue and white porcelain was smashed to pieces with the sound of cracking on the ground.

Chu Yuezhi was stunned, thinking that he had made Si Yuanting angry, and the next moment, Si Yuanting carried him to the other side of the couch and put him down.

"You rest here for a while, I will go out and tell them. Reform is not allowed, but it is still possible to include the crime of drowning a baby girl in the thirteen provinces and other provinces as homicide, and impose a heavy sentence on the family. " Si Yuanting leaned over and pressed a light kiss on Chu Yuezhi's forehead, then squeezed his soft earlobe, and said, "Give me half an hour, and if you come out after half an hour, I promise they will do it." Make a concession."

Si Yuanting never promised what he couldn't do, and he said that because he was sure that he could convince the three ministers who were still kneeling in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

So Chu Yuezhi nodded and let Si Yuanting go out trustingly.

He didn't know how Si Yuanting would persuade the three ministers. Si Yuanting had been in court for many years, but he was always more thoughtful than he thought, and he was much more sophisticated in handling the tension in the court and the interests.

After Si Yuanting left the Nuan Pavilion, Chu Yuezhi looked at the broken porcelain on the ground for a long time. After taking the medicine, he was almost recovered, but now I don't know if it was because of the temporary emotional ups and downs. Feeling unwell again.

I couldn't help but wondered in my heart whether Si Yuanting had always been like this in the past years. After finally climbing up, he thought that he could change the world with power. Obstruction can only hide one's true thoughts and compromise again and again, trying to find a compromise.

He at least has Si Yuanting to help him now, but in the past Si Yuanting was alone, and no one in the court could help Si Yuanting.

Si Yuanting never complained to him, and always downplayed what he had experienced in a few words.Until now, Si Yuanting not only has to help him wholeheartedly, but also takes on the role of his husband, comforting him when he is hit.

For Si Yuanting, it seems that he will always have endless worries, and since he was young, he has shouldered too many and heavy burdens.

After staying at the bed, he walked over to pick up a few pieces of broken porcelain on the ground. Before he finished cleaning up, Wang Zhong, who came in to light the lamp for Chu Yuezhi, was so shocked that he immediately rushed forward to stop Chu Yuezhi. Looking at the pieces of broken porcelain in Chu Yuezhi's hand, he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you can rest on the couch when you are tired. The servants here will clean up. You are a body of gold. If you are cut by this broken porcelain, Even ten heads of slaves are not enough to lose!"

How can it be that exaggerated, Chu Yuezhi wanted to say that Wang Zhong was making too much of a fuss, but seeing Wang Zhong's cautious and trembling appearance, he suddenly didn't want to say it again.

The voice of Si Yuanting conversing with several ministers could be heard intermittently in the warm pavilion, and occasionally one of the three ministers could be heard suddenly raising his voice because he couldn't hold back for a while, but Si Yuanting's voice was always calm. Change, unhurried and calm.

Wang Zhong was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground. He first changed the candles in the Nuan Pavilion, making the Nuan Pavilion, which was still too dark before, bright as usual, and served Chu Yuezhi a new cup of herbal tea. , and also brought a plate of small snacks, and bowed to leave after everything was settled.

Chu Yuezhi was not hungry, the plate of snacks was sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Si Yuanting's favorite food recently.Si Yuanting seems to have a special liking for sweets recently, so he ordered the imperial dining room to make a lot of sweet but not greasy pastries, and occasionally he ate half of a piece, and the rest went into Si Yuanting's stomach.

Si Yuanting doesn't get fat from eating, and Imperial Physician Lu has been taking care of Si Yuanting, but I don't know whether it's because of too much work or too much wear and tear. No matter how many supplements and medicinal diets Si Yuanting eats, his diet is also regular and occasional. Even though she fell in love with eating sweets recently, she still has a clear face and a thin body without any flesh.

I don't know where the food went.

After finishing the cup of herbal tea brought by Wang Zhong, Chu Yuezhi felt his hands and feet gradually warming up. Another half an hour was almost here, and the voices in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation had gradually subsided. He sat for a while, It wasn't until the main hall was completely quiet that he walked out of the Nuan Pavilion with a face that was indifferent and could not be seen from happiness or anger.

He Jingwen, Wang Ren, and Ruan Xing were still kneeling on the ground, Si Yuanting stood beside the three of them, and nodded when he saw Chu Yuezhi coming out.

Chu Yuezhi didn't sit down after returning to the imperial case, nor did he let the three ministers get up immediately, but stood at the door of the Nuan Pavilion, looked at the three ministers with cold eyes and asked: "The three lovers have been kneeling for so long, but what else is there?" Do you want to persuade me?"

Ruan Xing knelt and turned around to look up at Chu Yuezhi. They were kneeling in the main hall when they heard the sound of blue and white porcelain being smashed in the Nuan Pavilion. When Si Yuanting came out of the Nuan Pavilion, he was the first A person who told Si Yuanting that His Majesty should not be allowed to do his own way.

"Your Majesty, as a minister of the imperial court, I should give advice when Your Majesty needs it." Ruan Xing said, although he was finally persuaded by Si Yuanting, he had to admit that Si Yuanting's words were reasonable.Chu Yuezhi is the emperor, and he has commanded the army for many years. What he is most afraid of is confronting others head-on. They can't afford to kneel down to prevent Chu Yuezhi from coming to power. I'm afraid it will make Chu Yuezhi more determined to reform, why don't they all take a step back.

Wang Ren also turned around and continued: "Your Majesty said at the beginning that the act of drowning a baby girl in the thirteen provinces and beyond should be included in the crime of homicide, and should be punished with family ties. Innocent children are indeed cruel and inhumane crimes, and the chief minister even said that this crime is extremely rampant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and all the ministers believe that His Majesty's wishes should be implemented in order to curb this crime and prevent it from getting worse."

Chu Yuezhi looked at the two of them, and finally his eyes fell on He Jingwen who was still lying on the ground after turning around, and asked, "He Shangshu, do you think so too?"

He Jingwen knelt for a long time, his knees were numb, and when he heard Chu Yuezhi's roll call, he responded immediately without thinking: "Returning to Your Majesty, I also think that drowning a baby girl should be classified as murder."

"Since the three love ministers have reached this consensus with me, then go back and draw up a preliminary case, how to determine the crime and how to sentence it, and write it down to me carefully. As for other things, there is no need to talk about it Let's all retire." Chu Yuezhi's meaning was very clear, they classified the patriarchal custom of drowning female infants as a crime of homicide, and Chu Yuezhi did not mention other further reforms. Take a step back.

The three ministers knelt on the ground for a long time, and now they got permission to get up and leave, each of them struggled to get up from the ground, especially He Jingwen, who was the oldest, almost stumbled out of Yangxin with the help of the other two temple.

After the three people's footsteps could no longer be heard, Chu Yuezhi raised his chin and asked Si Yuanting, "How did you convince them?"

"It's not difficult." Si Yuanting walked over and said calmly: "Compared with directly enacting laws for women, it is obviously easier for people to accept clear crimes with factual basis in the laws."

Chu Yuezhi looked at Si Yuanting who was walking in front of him, and always felt that there were many things he wanted to say but he couldn't say a word.

How could it not be difficult? Si Yuanting obviously expected this result, so he first talked with the three ministers outside the palace. With those words as a foreshadowing, the legislation will not be completely destroyed. veto.Si Yuanting has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, and he regards it as what he should do as the chief assistant, but he feels that he is not safe enough to act with enthusiasm.

Even so, Si Yuanting would not complain, after all, Si Yuanting was never one to complain.

Lowering his eyes to wipe away all his emotions, Chu Yuezhi raised the corners of his lips, as if nothing had happened, and said to Si Yuanting: "Wang Zhonggang brought a plate of your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, go eat it now Let's take it as a reward for the hard work of the Chief Assistant of the Department tonight."
