In the Morning Dew Palace, the tsundere loli tore off a small strip of chicken and insisted on stuffing it into Li Yi's mouth. Li Xuan strode in, his face not looking very good.
"How is 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: "Delay the age of women's marriage to sixteen years old, encourage women of the right age to have more children, and urge the Imperial Medical Office to improve the method of midwifery and cultivate professional skills.
Midwifery personnel..., these are a foregone conclusion and will be implemented soon."
Li Yi thought to himself, if he took advantage of this shareholder style to open a high-end confinement club in Kyoto, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money again?
However, these things Li Xuan just said were all done by Her Royal Highness the Princess. There is no reason why the court has implemented the policy. Li Xuan still had this expression. Li Yi thought about it, looked at him and asked: "The princess's grounding...
"
Li Xuan said angrily: "No one has mentioned it yet. I'm afraid they won't give up easily after this storm is over."
It was possible for this matter to be accomplished, and Her Royal Highness the Princess took the greatest credit for almost hacking Han Daru to death in the court hall. In the final analysis, it was because of this matter that important matters related to the people's livelihood and the country were decided. However, by clinging to this point, it is like burning bridges across rivers.
That makes sense.
But when you think about it, it’s normal. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the first one to kill someone with a knife in the Golden Palace. No one has ever spoken out about it before, and I’m afraid there will be no others later. If we don’t punish them severely, if someone follows suit in the future, all officials will
This morning, your head is not allowed to be pinned to the waistband of your pants?
"In this case, the only way to do this is to... add fuel to their fire." Li Yi thought to himself as he stopped the tsundere loli from stuffing the chicken's butt into his mouth.
"What do you think of this matter?" Li Xuan sat down and looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Mingzhu's expression didn't change much, but her eyes looked at him the same way.
As the three evils of Kyoto - the three heroes, among the three masters of Kyoto, the most cunning and cunning - the most resourceful person, Li Yi thought for a while, looked at Li Mingzhu, and said seriously: "How about I bring you a bowl next time?"
Egg fried rice?”

…
The past two days have been quite uneventful in Kyoto. Magistrate Liu, who was promoted to the post of magistrate of the capital not long ago, is even more powerful.
Just now, another government official came to report that two families in the east of the city had a fight over their children's marriage and were in court.
Since yesterday, this is already the fifth case of in-laws turning against each other.
The causes of the cases were surprisingly consistent. The woman said that her daughter was too young and wanted to wait three or two years before getting married. Naturally, the man did not agree. They had already paid the bride price, so they waited for the new daughter-in-law to come in and postponed the marriage for two or three years.
Getting married, what kind of thing is this? If word gets out, where will their dignity go?
The woman also has legitimate reasons. The court has said that if a woman gives birth at the age of thirteen, three out of ten will not survive. My daughter is only thirteen this year. If you want my daughter to marry, are you asking my daughter to die?
After all, it's the flesh that fell from her body. If anyone wants to harm her, I'll watch him die if I don't scratch him!
Magistrate Liu touched the nail marks on his neck and took a breath of pain. This was because the two families had a fight in the courtroom yesterday. He went up to persuade him, but was accidentally scratched by the shrew. He explained for a long time when he was making out with his wife at night.
, and for some reason, she, who has always been reasonable, has been extremely grumpy in the past two days. Not only because she didn't believe it, but she also falsely accused her of going out to look for flowers. In desperation, Magistrate Liu had to scratch her face again to show her innocence——
It still hurts so much.
He began to miss the days when Liu Yishou was around again. Where would it be his turn to take action on such a trivial matter?
"The imperial court is about to promulgate a law. From then on, women in our Jingguo country can only get married after they are sixteen years old. Anyone who violates it is disobeying the imperial court and defying the law..."
Ordinary people can withstand such threats. After saying these words, the man walked away in despair, while the woman smiled happily and shouted "Master Qingtian", which slightly comforted Magistrate Liu's heart.
He let out a long sigh. In a broad sense, although the court's move was a good thing, the real trouble 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 they are sixteen years old. This undoubtedly adds a lot of burden to them, and those at the bottom of the class also have to raise their daughters until they are sixteen years old.
How many people regard their daughters as real people, but the court’s move still lacks consideration!
Not only that, in addition to the unstable public sentiment, some aspects of Kyoto these past two days have also begun to be a little unusual. After the chaos, there seems to be an invisible driving force, which is shocking. People have disappeared inexplicably in Kyoto.
The population, the anomalies of dozens of households in a village outside the city, the mysterious Holy Queen...
Returning to the back hall, Magistrate Liu walked around the hall for half an hour. He didn't even pay attention to the concubine who approached him. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a pen and started writing on a piece of paper.
…
"The Holy Queen's reappearance a few days ago has been widely spread among believers, making them more pious..."
In an ordinary courtyard outside the city of Kyoto, a man in purple had a faint look of excitement on his face, and said to the middle-aged Taoist nun: "In the past two days, our religion has gained more than a hundred followers. From this, it seems that the Holy Sect has flourished.
Just around the corner!”
"Very good." The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded and said, "But don't be too showy. This is Kyoto. If the Jingguo court is alerted, there will be countless troubles."
"My subordinate understands."
The man in purple bowed and said something, thinking of something, and then said: "Empress Qi, my subordinates discovered that a new disciple who joined the religion recently has extremely outstanding abilities. Half of the hundreds of new believers are his."
Thanks to his credit, he was also the one who witnessed the second apparition of the Holy Queen. His subordinates want to promote him to the role of envoy in yellow. I wonder what the Queen wants?"
"You make your own decisions on such small matters... Continue to pay attention to the Heroes Conference." The middle-aged Taoist nun said something and then drifted away. The man in purple bowed and said: "Best farewell to the Queen!"
…
…
"You and I... will share the same bed and bed with you in life and death..."
The young censor named Wan Xu hummed the tune he had just learned from Goulan. When he walked into the house, he saw his wife neatly dressed and about to go out with her maid. His face changed and he hurriedly said: "Oh, my wife, you can't
If you continue to fool around with those people, we have nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess’s affairs..."
The woman opposite waved her hand and said, "No, Ruyifang has released another perfume today. I'll go take a look."
Wan Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't go to ask for advice for the princess, but went to Ruyifang to buy perfume, then buy it...
His eyes widened, "Is there another new perfume?"
There was a look of sadness on the young censor's face. The salary was just paid out this month!
"Hey, forget it, just buy it, as long as she doesn't get involved in that matter. Anyway, I like the smell." He could only comfort in his heart, and squeezed out a smile on his face.
, "Then..., Madam, go and come back early."
"You just left like this...and never, never see each other again?" The young censor hummed, regretting his upcoming salary.
"Is there another new show in Goulan?" The woman did not leave, but looked at him and asked.
"Ah? Oh, yes!" Wan Xu turned around and nodded.
"What's your name?" the woman asked again when she was about to board the carriage.
Wan Xu thought for a while and said: "It seems to be calling, calling..."Peacock Flies Southeast"."
"Well, "The Peacock Flies Southeast." Wan Xu nodded and said with great certainty.
[Note: The tune Wan Yushi hums is from an excerpt of the Yue opera "The Peacock Flies Southeast".]
