My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Emperor Jingming sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below who were dressed in various casual clothes, and rubbed his temples with a slightly tired look.

Redoing official uniforms is another considerable expense.

His eyes turned to the culprit who was wearing particularly conspicuous clothes, looking around with constant curiosity.

Thinking about how I had been kind enough to help her teach her father a lesson who didn't know right from wrong.

But after he fell asleep, she sent him, the emperor, a thousand years ago. For seven days, he had no food to eat or sleep well, and could face being beaten at any time...

Emperor Jingming's face darkened, he was so angry that he exploded on the spot.

"Ye Xingxin."

When he suddenly heard his name, Ye Shengxin was stunned, then he stood up with his neck shrunk.

[System, why is the emperor calling me so kindly? ]

[Is it wrong for me to follow the rules and wear the official uniform? 】

With this doubt in mind, Ye Shengxin stood in the center of the hall with her back straight. She believed that the emperor would not get angry with her because of this.

Chang Zunli, who was beside him, snorted coldly in a voice that only Ye Shengxin could hear and turned his head away.

Out of sight out of mind.

He's still in pain now.

Emperor Jingming was so angry at Ye Shengxin's reason that he raised his finger and asked her to stand outside the palace as if to do something against him.

The reason is: "The appearance is not suitable!"

Ye Shengxin looked at Emperor Jingming, who spoke in a firm tone, and was in disbelief.

Are we really going to get angry at her just because she's wearing an official uniform?

It was uncomfortable. Ye Shengxin felt very uncomfortable, especially when he received a lot of gloating looks on the way out, which made Ye Shengxin feel even more uncomfortable.

but--

Staring at the red and swollen wounds on their faces, I asked in dissatisfaction:

[Why are you making fun of me? As if your face doesn't hurt? ]

Ministers: "..."

The ministers touched the wounds on their faces and bodies, the smiles on their lips drooped, and their mood instantly turned sour.

After the incident, Emperor Jingming ignored Ye Shengxin's resentful look and proposed to establish a girls' school in the court.

The implementation will start with the group of daughters of wealthy families. Once those with good character and academic performance pass the assessment, they can hold official positions in the court.

This was the result of his careful consideration after practicing his experience of one night and seven days.

Reforms must always be implemented from top to bottom, and some sweet fruits must be given to the upper echelons first so that they will not be difficult to advance.

Three people, led by Prime Minister Shangguan, stood up and echoed them.

More and more ministers responded one after another.

The stubborn old man remained silent, which Ye Shengxin found quite strange.

Seeing this, Rong Anle took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​training a female army, and Emperor Jingming agreed after pretending to consider it.

The diehards still did not respond.

Ye Shengxin looked even more curious and unconsciously moved closer to the door.

[System, after this night, why do the ministers seem to be so easy to talk to? ]

[Did they change their minds after being beaten up last night? Do they know how difficult it is to be a woman?]

Emperor Jingming twitched his lips and looked at the ministers who were attending court with injuries.

He pretended not to notice Ye Xingxin's curious look, and also pretended not to know that the ministers wanted to beat someone up at this moment.

He began to discuss the details of these two matters with Prime Minister Shangguan and others.

Ye Xingxin was satisfied with what he heard, until——

System: [Host, since the imperial court is preparing to liberate women and break the old rules, things like the chastity arch should also be included.]

Ye Xingxin suddenly realized: [Oh, that's right, the chastity arch is so funny, not only does it reduce the birth rate, it's also an unlucky thing that forces women to die.]

[The memorial archway created by these men should be given to them...]

"Your Majesty!" Chang Zunli shouted and stood up.

As one of the people who had vigorously promoted this matter before, he trembled all over, fearing that he would receive something that would make him lose face when he returned today. He immediately said sincerely to Emperor Jingming who was sitting at the top:

"Your Majesty, I think the imperial court should ban chastity arches."

He was heartbroken and said: "Women should have the right to remarry after their husbands die. For the sake of the population of our Zhou State, I think the court can issue rewards to women who remarry to eliminate the influence of the chastity arch."

"My younger sister lost her husband three years ago and now lives at home, feeling depressed all day long. I beg Your Majesty to grant my younger sister another marriage so that she can live a stable life for the rest of her life."

Ye Shengxin looked at the scene in dumbfounded.

[What's going on? The sun is rising from the west? ]

As he thought of this, he sneezed, not too hard or too soft.

The weather was gloomy today, with a cold wind blowing. Ye Shengxin was not wearing much and was shivering from the cold as he stood outside.

The system couldn't bear to watch: [Host, find a reason to go in, even if it's just for a while.]

Ye Shengxin sniffed and felt that the system was right. After rolling his eyes, he actually found a reason to enter the hall.

She bowed and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is not possible!"

Ministers: “……???!!!”

The ministers looked at Ye Shengxin, who was about to make trouble, with expressionless faces.

Ye Xingxin walked a few steps to Chang Zunli's side, looked at him in disbelief, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the chastity arch cannot be cancelled."

Facing the speechless Emperor Jingming, she continued without changing her expression:

"Chastity arches are something that women value very much. If they are suddenly abolished, there will probably be unrest among the people, and those small people and tribes who make a living from them will also be difficult to appease."

"Not to mention the amount of money the court spent on this matter, it must be an astronomical figure."

She looked at Chang Zunli disapprovingly, "Master Chang made this matter sound a little too light."

[Huh, I finally don't feel that cold anymore. It's still comfortable inside the hall.]

Chang Zunli: “…”

Seeing Ye Xingxin standing up just because he was cold and had no moral integrity to hinder him, Chang Zunli held his breath and continued to play:

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns women, people's livelihood, and breaking bad habits. It must be done."

Ye Xingxin said earnestly: "Your Majesty, it is necessary to do it, but it is really difficult!"

"Ye Xingxin!"

Chang Zunli glared at her, "As a human being, how can you watch those women suffer their whole lives just for a memorial archway?"

He was very angry. It was really hateful that this person said the opposite for the sake of temporary warmth!

"But they can get a good reputation. Isn't that important? Isn't this the ancestral rule?"

Ancestral rules?

These four words made everyone present feel very sad.

Who dares to mention this matter nowadays, and who is qualified to mention this matter!

Chang Zunli, who had no qualifications, tried to save face and said, "What kind of fame is that? It's just an empty name!"

Ye Xingxin blinked, "Since Lord Chang said it was just an empty title and he doesn't want the chastity arch, then this thing passed down by our ancestors..."

Chang Zunli was afraid that Ye Shengxin was sending him to see his ancestors, so he got emotional and said, "I'll take care of this!"

The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the court.

Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows and seized the opportunity: "Since you want to take over this matter, then take over. As for the silver issue, I believe you can find a solution yourself."

Ye Xingxin gave a thumbs up: "Master Chang is so righteous!"

Chang Zunli looked at the emperor, then at Ye Shengxin with bright eyes, and realized belatedly that he had been tricked by Ye Shengxin who wanted to avoid being ignored.

Thinking of the twists and turns and huge amounts of money that this matter would involve, Chang Zunli, as the promoter of the chastity arch, put on a bitter face, bowed his hands, and took over the matter under the sympathetic gazes of many colleagues.

The emperor will eventually make him pay for this bitter fruit himself!

[System, let the most conservative and pedantic old man do this job. It feels so good. What should I do? ]

【Ha ha ha ha……】

Ye Shengxin was so straightforward that for a while the entire court was filled with her laughter.

[Host, now that this has happened, have you ever thought about how you can continue to stay in the hall? ]

The system didn't want to hit her, but it had to remind her.

Ye Xingxin: "..."

Ye Shengxin laughed and glanced at Emperor Jingming who was sitting at the top of the table, and happened to meet his eyes.

Emperor Jingming was calm and composed, his voice concealing a hint of gloating: "Lord Ye, do you have anything else to report?"

Ye Shengxin rolled her eyes around and racked her brains to think of something, but those ministers who had suffered because of her would not give her this opportunity.

Meng Da immediately stood up and proposed that women study medicine.

This is a big deal, and Ye Shengxin is eager to push it forward immediately, so he made small talk for a few minutes.

The rest of his words were interrupted by the ministers who responded actively. Ye Shengxin could no longer stand there and could only leave the hall in embarrassment.

As soon as I stood still, a cold wind blew in my face.

Ye Shengxin was shivering and sneezed loudly several times.

Then, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere among the ministers in the palace had become much more wonderful.

Not sure, want to try again?

As she looked up, she heard a very small voice, audible only to her, saying:

"Master Ye is standing in a great position to fart!"

Ye Xingxin: "..."

[Host, the arrow you shot earlier has finally hit your head.]
