Emperor Mingde wanted to see the woman named Tang Chujun.

That feeling is like that of a young man who wants to see but dares not to see.

He didn't want the woman to kneel outside the temple, in the cold wind...it would be so cold.

But, let out a long sigh.

Finally announced her son Shi Yunqi.

Shi Yunqi was one of the people Emperor Mingde favored most in this year's imperial examination. Maybe he will be the number one scholar, maybe he will be his right-hand man soon.

In the blink of an eye, the clouds appeared.

Emperor Mingde put his finger on Tang Chujun's name again. This time... he announced Tang Chujun's daughter Shi Anxia.

This is the second time we meet.

He recalled what the little girl said at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall that day, "If we can't resolve it today, we at Yunqi Academy will file a complaint with the Emperor."

Just a few days later, she entered the palace.

The girl has the halo of Huang Wanqian's "Mr." on her head, and she is the one who built Yunqi Academy, so it is reasonable for her to be the third to meet the emperor.

Shi Anxia knelt down, looked down, and saluted respectfully, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Mingde looked at the little girl in front of him, her posture was elegant, and he could not help but speak gently, "Raise your head and answer me."

The little girl then raised her head, revealing a beautiful and calm little face.

Emperor Mingde's eyes fell on the face and he felt that although he looked like Tang Chujun, the first words that came to his mind were "peace and prosperity for the country and the people".

The little girl's eyes are clearly black and white, and as clear as water.

Few women look like this when they meet the emperor. His eyes were firm and calm, deep and calm.

Emperor Mingde deliberately asked with a straight face, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and responded, "Go back to the Emperor, I am not afraid."

Emperor Mingde asked again, "Why aren't you afraid? Many people are afraid of me."

Shi Anxia was neither humble nor arrogant and flattered him, "Because the emperor is wise! And my daughter has not committed any crime, so she is not afraid."

"Why are you wearing red clothes if you haven't committed any crime?" Emperor Mingde retorted to her.

Shi Anxia responded gently, "To put it politely, there is a black sheep in the family."

"What if it's not elegant?" Emperor Mingde became interested.

"I dare not say."

"I forgive your innocence." Emperor Mingde didn't even realize that a smile appeared on his lips.

Shi Anxia replied, "One rat shit spoils a good pot of soup."

Emperor Mingde: "..." Isn't this the word I just thought of?

He sighed solemnly, "It's not a small crime!"

Shi Anxia was not frightened, she just lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty is right."

"So do you think it's better to punish all nine clans or all three clans?"

I would be stupid no matter which one I choose! Shi Anxia did not rush to reply this time. She was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke, "Your servant... dare not say."

Emperor Mingde still said, "I forgive you for your innocence."

Shi Anxia was silent for a moment.

This time, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with expectation, "I believe that the system of impunity is unreasonable. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family will suffer. This is a drawback of the law."

After she finished speaking, she did not lower her head immediately, but looked at the emperor who was above him.

Shi Anxia saw shock and emotion in Emperor Mingde's eyes.

She knew in her heart that she had once again used her rebirth to spy into Emperor Mingde's heart.

The good emperor in front of him died in a hurry before realizing his ideas in his previous life.

He left many manuscripts of his ideas to the successor Emperor Rongguang, but they were destroyed by Emperor Rongguang as rubbish. One of them was to abolish the system of collective punishment.

Shi Anxia read the manuscript and remembered it. Later, when she came to power, she decisively abolished the system of involvement.

Her clear voice sounded in the Chaoyang Palace, "My emperor is wise! He must have known the disadvantages of the system of involvement."

After saying that, she took out a manuscript from her sleeve and presented it to her.

In the manuscript, she personally wrote about the historical origins of the clan system, the reasons for its abolition, possible obstacles, and the historical significance of the abolition of the system.

It also focuses on how to overcome the obstacles of veteran ministers, and even contains some short stories, such as what the ministers say when they object and how you should respond.

Emperor Mingde: "!!!" Are you the emperor, or am I the emperor?

This girl! How bold! Any emperor with a little stinginess would have punished her for the crime of treason and conspiracy.

As if in response to Emperor Mingde's complicated expression, Shi Anxia saluted him, "My emperor is wise! Because of my emperor's wiseness, I dare to submit such a manuscript, otherwise I will be ruined." , and will never turn it into words.”

Emperor Mingde: "..." Anyway, if I am stingy, I will be unwise! Hey, this little girl! Very fine!

He also heard the little girl say, "If the system of implicature is abolished, my emperor will definitely be the first emperor in the history of the North Wing, no, he should be the example of the emperors in the world! All the people in the world will feel the kindness of our emperor! The prosperity of the North Wing will last forever. Not bad!”

Emperor Mingde's blood was surging. After all, he was an emperor with ideals, ambitions, and a broad mind!

Which emperor doesn't want to be admired by all people and live in prosperity? Which emperor doesn't want to set an example for emperors in the world?

He then heard the little girl's sweet oriole-like voice continue to sound, "I don't dare to say that it will last forever. It's just to make my emperor happy. But within a hundred years, under the wise guidance of my emperor, the North Wing will be able to Create one brilliance after another.”

Emperor Mingde: “!!!”

I have heard of flattery thousands of times, and I feel uncomfortable every day. But the little girl's compliments made people's blood boil.

He now feels that if he does not work hard to abolish the system of collective punishment, he will miss an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.

In fact, this system of collective punishment has always been a thorn in his side, and he has long wanted to abolish this criminal system that has been passed down for countless generations.

Emperor Mingde said warmly, "Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness. My daughter has always been timid, so she won't sit down." Shi Anxia knelt on the ground obediently.

Emperor Mingde: "..." Are you timid? If I give you a north wing, you dare to catch it.

Hey, why do you think so?

This manuscript is really so attractive. If nothing else, just this handwriting. Tsk, no wonder Mr. Huang wants to hire a little girl as a teacher!

I was wondering how he could say that! After seeing this word... I also want to say "Sir".

Emperor Mingde gave Eunuch Qi a look.

Eunuch Qi immediately understood and hurriedly brought over an exquisite little embroidered cushion. "Miss, the emperor asked you to sit down, so please sit down. Otherwise, the emperor will be unhappy."

Shi Anxia had already declined once, showing the basic respect of a courtier. If you refuse again, it will be disrespectful and contrary to the holy will.

She smiled softly at Eunuch Qi, then knelt on the ground and saluted, "Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness!"

Only then did she stand up from the ground in a dignified manner and sit properly on the embroidered cushion.

Emperor Mingde lowered his head and read the manuscript in fascination. While reading, he chatted a few words.

Eunuch Qi then brought a plate of fruit and snacks, served tea, and placed food and drink in front of the little girl. Seeing that the little girl didn't move, he glanced at Emperor Mingde again, and then indicated with his eyes that she could eat whatever she wanted.

Shi Anxia cast a grateful look towards Eunuch Qi, but still sat properly and did not eat.

When Emperor Mingde saw it, he said, "If I tell you to eat, you will eat! Do you need me to order you to eat?"

Shi Anxia then reluctantly ate a small bite of cake, but did not dare to drink tea, because she did not know how long this ordeal would last.

Emperor Mingde indeed forgot that there were people kneeling outside... He even forgot that Tang Chujun was kneeling outside.

The manuscript is really beautiful.

Just at this moment, Xiao Shuzi came hurriedly from outside to report that the Empress Dowager had arrived!
