Chapter 168: Dark and Windy, a Good Time to Meet People

"Lord Duan, I understand your concerns."

"But I have one thing I want to ask you. If you have a poisonous sore on your body, would you apply ointment every day and be alert to the condition of the sore at all times, or would you rather suffer a short pain than a long one and burn the knife with fire to drain the pus from the sore?"

This example is already very clear. Zhao Changlin believes that he has made it very clear. The Dali Temple Minister is such a smart person, there should be no need for her to repeat the whole story.

As expected, after Zhao Changlin finished speaking, the Dali Temple Minister was stunned. Compared to them who were cautious and careful in looking for revelations in the text, His Highness was the exact opposite. He took risky moves and acted decisively.

How can you kill a tiger if you don't let the tiger have the intention to kill people? If Lu Boshan keeps a low profile and does not show his ability in the court, even if Your Majesty really wants to take back the military power in his hands, you will have no way to do it.

"I understand. Your Highness's ambition is truly lofty. I am short-sighted..."

Hearing him say this, Zhao Changlin decided to press on and took out a booklet from his desk, rolled up his sleeves and handed it over.

"No, I also have something for you, Lord Duan, to do."

"Nowadays, the court is mostly filled with men. I want women all over the world to be able to serve as officials, so I drafted this bill."

Hearing what His Highness said, the Dali Temple Minister was shocked. As he was in an important position, he naturally understood how important the reform was to the entire court system. He was afraid that half of the Daliang Dynasty would be changed.

"Your Majesty, are you serious? If you do this, it will definitely cause disputes among the ministers in the court."

Zhao Changlin nodded slightly, watching the Dali Temple Minister take the memorial, and continued, "I know that many people in the court will oppose this, but I have to do this."

Just like back then, no one in the palace was optimistic about her succession to the throne, but now she is sitting on it, isn't she?

What she wants to do is impossible in the world.

"But this..."

The Dali Temple Minister was still hesitating. If he took action, the entire Duan family would be implicated. He asked himself, fairness and justice are of course important in the court, but family interests cannot be abandoned.

It was his father and mother who raised him to this point, so how could he do such a rebellious act on behalf of the entire Duan family?

"If we grant amnesty to the entire nation and demand equality between men and women right from the start, it will only backfire."

"It's not that I don't understand this truth, so what I have to do is to select women from among the official families who have literary talent, military strategy, and good moral character to serve in important positions in the court."

This process must be gradual, perhaps taking ten or twenty years, but one day, the Daliang Dynasty will be thoroughly reformed.

This game of chess lasted a long time, but she had enough patience to make herself the final winner.

"I remember that Lord Duan's daughter is one of the best in literary talent and strategy in the entire Jinzhou City. I think we can give it a try."

This is both an invitation, an olive branch, and a risk.

Everyone knows that the first person to stick his head out gets shot. If you are the first person to try something new, you will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Everyone will be watching your every word and action, looking for your mistakes.

Such tremendous pressure is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a humble daughter who knows a little about calligraphy and has read some books by great sages."

The Dali Temple Minister did not want his daughter to take up an official position, but he was afraid that it would bring irreparable harm to his daughter.

"Don't worry. I will wait until Zhiyuan comes back, and then let Duan Aiqing make a decision."

"I guess by then, Xizhou City was no longer as desolate as it is now, but was thriving."

Hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister suddenly realized. He had heard from his colleagues before that His Majesty insisted on letting his own confidants go to Xizhou City in order to attack the Daluo Kingdom.

He was even upset about this. The Daliang Dynasty was not suitable to go to war with any country now. The most important thing was to recuperate and let the people settle down and work happily.

This is the right thing to do. If you were like Emperor Wan De, you would impose heavy taxes, attack other countries, and seek glory and success.

The Daliang Dynasty will only become weaker and weaker, so how can we talk about the prosperity of the country?

Unexpectedly, His Majesty's original intention was to let his confidant help the woman gain a foothold in the court, so he sent the only person His Majesty trusted to go to Xizhou City, a small border area, to clean up King Wen's mess.

"Wei Chen knows."

……

After finally finishing the work at hand, Xia Zhiyuan had time to return to his room to take a shower and change clothes.

The accommodation conditions of the county government office are naturally not as good as those of the Jinzhou Imperial City, but this house was obviously cleaned up before, and the potted plants inside were also newly replaced.

The small and green asparagus ferns, pines and cypresses are pleasing to the eye.

"Miss, the water is already hot, and we are waiting for you to come back to bathe and change clothes."

Chunni stepped forward to help Xia Zhiyuan tidy up his clothes, took off the rabbit fur waistcoat and hung it on the hanger beside him.

"it is good."

Xia Zhiyuan walked around the screen, put her fingers on the edge of the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and it was just right, so she stepped in.

There were also some dried flower petals sprinkled on the spring mud, giving it a sweet fragrance. There was a stove burning in the house, isolating the house from the severe cold outside the window.

Xizhou City is not as cold as Jinzhou City, but it is winter now, and there are cold winds everywhere. The temperature difference is large at night. It is okay during the day, but if it is night, you really have to pay attention to keep warm.

Perhaps because of fatigue, Xia Zhiyuan leaned against the bathtub, feeling drowsy and unable to control himself.

So she simply narrowed her eyes.

But in my mind, I was thinking about what the system had just said to me, that I wanted to marry His Highness.

"Host, if we really want to meet our target, can't we just teleport there?"

"Why go to all that trouble?"

The system popped up, and it could naturally sense Xia Zhiyuan's depressed mood. The two had been separated for about a few months, which was not very friendly to a couple in the honeymoon period.

"You have a point, but what if someone finds out? Wouldn't that make me a witch?"

Xia Zhiyuan was not afraid of what those old men would do to her. She was worried that they would make things difficult for His Highness.

Therefore, even if she wanted to use teleportation, she would have to think for a long time. If she teleported anywhere, it would be very dangerous for herself.

"If you can't do it openly, then you can do it in the dead of night. Anyway... as long as the target of your capture trusts you, that's enough!"

"Everyone will be asleep at that time, so naturally we won't be able to see you, the host!"

What he said made a lot of sense. How come she was still a little moved? No, that's not right. It shouldn't be just a little moved, but very moved.
