In the Hall of Morning Dew, when Tsundere Lolita tore off a small piece of chicken and insisted on stuffing it into Li Yi's mouth, Li Xuan strode in, his expression not looking very good.
"How's the situation in the court?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
Li Xuan was not surprised to see Li Yi here, and said in a slightly angry tone: "Postpone the marriage age of women to sixteen years old, encourage women of the right age to have more children, urge the imperial medical office to improve the method of midwifery, and cultivate talents with professional skills." Midwives... , these are a foregone conclusion and will be implemented shortly."
Li Yi thought in this way, taking advantage of this shareholder style, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money by opening a high-end confinement club in the capital
However, the things that Li Xuan just said are all done by Her Royal Highness the Princess. There is no reason for the court to implement the policy. Li Xuan still has such an expression. Li Yi thought about it, looked at him and asked: "Princess's confinement..."
Li Xuan said angrily: "No one mentioned it for the time being, I'm afraid they will not give up easily after this turmoil is over."
This thing can be done, Her Royal Highness deserves great credit, almost hacked Han Daru to death in the court hall, in the final analysis, it was also because of this, a major matter related to people's livelihood and society was decided in this way, but if you hold on to this point, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge Meaning.
But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was also the first one to slash people with a knife in the Golden Palace. There is no one before, and I'm afraid there will be no one in the future. If there is no severe punishment, if someone follows suit in the future, all officials will This morning, don't you have to pin your head on your trouser belt
"If that's the case, then there's only... to fuel them again." Li Yi thought to himself as he stopped Tsundere Lolita from stuffing the chicken butt into his mouth.
"Tell me, what happened to this matter?" Li Xuan sat down, looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Mingzhu's expression didn't change much, but she looked at him the same way.
As the three evils of Kyoto—the three heroes, the most insidious and cunning—the most resourceful person among the three heroes of Kyoto, Li Yi thought for a while, looked at Li Mingzhu, and said seriously: "Why don't I bring you a bowl of egg fried rice next time?" ?”
…
…
The past two days in Kyoto have been rather uneventful, and County Magistrate Liu, who has just been promoted to the magistrate of the capital, is one of the first two.
Just now another yamen servant came to report that two relatives in the east of the city fought violently over their children's marriage and went to court.
Since yesterday, this is already the fifth case of rebellion between relatives.
The cause of the case was surprisingly the same. The woman said that she would wait three or two years before getting married on the grounds that her daughter was too young. Marriage, what kind of thing is this? If it gets out, where will they save face
The woman also has a legitimate reason. The court has said that women give birth at the age of thirteen, and three out of ten will not survive. My daughter is only thirteen this year. If you want my daughter to marry, you will tell my daughter to die
After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body. If anyone wants to harm her, let me see if I don't scratch him to death!
County magistrate Liu touched the nail marks on his neck and gasped in pain. This was yesterday when the two families had a fight in the courtroom. He went up to persuade him, but was accidentally scratched by the shrew. He explained it for a long time when he was making out with his wife at night For some reason, she, who is always reasonable, has been extremely irritable in the past two days. If she doesn't believe it, she even framed it as evidence that she went out to find flowers and ask Liu. It's still a burning pain.
He began to miss the days when Liu Yishou was around again. For such a trivial matter, where is it his turn to take action
"The imperial court is about to promulgate a law. After that, women in Jingguo can only marry after they are sixteen years old. Anyone who violates the law is disobeying the imperial court and disobeying the law..."
Ordinary people could not stand this kind of intimidation. After saying these words, the man walked away in despair, but the woman smiled happily and shouted "Master Qingtian", which slightly comforted County Magistrate Liu.
He sighed leisurely. From a righteous point of view, although the imperial court's move was good, the real troubles may have just begun.
Delaying the earliest date of marriage for a woman to sixteen years old also means that those poor families have to raise their daughters until sixteen years old, which undoubtedly adds a lot of burden to them. How many people regard their daughter as a real person, the court's move is still lack of consideration!
Not only that, in addition to the unstable public sentiment, some aspects of Kyoto in the past two days have also begun to be a little unusual. After the chaos, there seems to be an invisible pusher, which is shocking. The population, the abnormality of dozens of families in a certain village outside the city, the mysterious holy empress...
Back in the back hall, County Magistrate Liu paced around the hall for half an hour, even ignoring the concubine who volunteered to post it. After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and began to write on a notebook.
…
"The fact that the Holy Empress appeared again a few days ago has been widely spread among believers, making them more devout..."
In an ordinary courtyard outside the city of Kyoto, the man in purple was faintly excited, and said to the middle-aged Taoist nun: "In the past two days, I have taught more than a hundred believers. From this point of view, the holy religion is booming. Just around the corner!"
"Very good." The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded and said, "But don't make too much publicity. This is the capital. If Jingguo's court is alerted, there will be countless troubles."
"The subordinate understands."
The man in purple bowed and said something, thinking of something, and said: "I want to tell you, my subordinates have discovered that a new disciple who has recently joined the sect is extremely capable, and half of the more than a hundred new believers are his disciples." Thanks, he is also the one who witnessed the second appearance of the Holy Empress, and my subordinates want to promote him as a yellow-clothed emissary, but what does the empress think?"
"Such trivial matters, you decide by yourself... At the Heroes Conference, continue to pay attention." The middle-aged Taoist girl said a word and then drifted away. The man in purple bowed and said, "Send off your mother!"
…
…
"I'm with you..., I'll live with you and die with you..."
A young censor named Wan Xu hummed a ditty he had just learned from Goulan, walked into the house, saw his wife was dressed neatly, and was about to go out with her maid, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, my lady, can you not Follow those people around, we have nothing to do with Her Royal Highness..."
The woman on the opposite side waved her hand and said, "No, Ruyifang released another perfume today, I'll go and have a look."
Wan Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't ask for advice for the princess, and went to Ruyifang to buy perfume, then he would buy...
He widened his eyes, "Is there a new perfume?"
The young censor had a sad look on his face, the salary that was just issued this month!
"Hey, forget it, just buy it, as long as she doesn't get involved in that matter, I like to smell it anyway." He could only comfort himself like this in his heart, with a smile on his face , "Then..., lady, go early and come back early."
"You, just go like this..., never, never see each other again?" The young censor hummed a little tune, regretting his soon-to-be-lost salary.
"Is there a new show in Goulan?" The woman didn't leave, she looked at him and asked.
"Ah? Oh, yes!" Wan Xu turned around and nodded.
"What's your name?" The woman asked again just as she was about to board the carriage.
Wan Xu thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be called, called... "The Peacock Flies Southeast."
"Well, "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast"." Wan Xu nodded and said with great certainty.
[Note: The tune that Wan Yushi hummed came from an excerpt from the Yue opera "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast".]
