The news in the imperial city has always spread quickly, and Qiu Luoxue soon got the news that the Lu family was dealt with.

"Is that what you mean to be angry with me? What does it feel a little strange about? Qiu Luoxue said to herself, "I didn't say that I was wronged, I was just a little scared, and it felt a little ...... Borrowing a knife to kill someone, did I feel wrong? ”

On the morning of the second day, Qiu Luoxue kept looking at Xia Zimo, but he was no different from usual, handling government affairs as usual, yesterday's events were as if they had never happened, whether it was the minister or others, they were very calm.

The process of deliberations in the morning was still so boring, Qiu Luoxue was in a state of self-indulgence almost the whole time, and the emperor and ministers didn't seem to care much about her opinions, it seemed that she really just sat in the phase.

"Anything else?" Xia Zimo asked.

This sentence finally came, and Qiu Luoxue suddenly came to a sentence: "Weichen has a book."

Xia Zimo's heart, when she said this, she almost missed half a beat, and the ministers in the court were too, and they almost didn't dare to breathe when they heard her say this.

"Prime Minister...... Are you planning to resign again? Xia Zimo asked tentatively.

"Oh, no, no, no." Qiu Luoxue hurriedly explained.

Hearing her say this, everyone was relieved, the last time she resigned, everyone was tossed a lot, and it hasn't been relieved until now.

"What's that?" Xia Zimo asked.

"Your Majesty, yesterday Weichen secretly visited the brothel in Beijing and found that the atmosphere was very bad, and I hope that the emperor will order the brothel in Beijing to be closed and rectified."

Qiu Luoxue said decently, she has been in the court for ten days anyway, and the form of etiquette and playing is the same, and she will be able to see more, so now she also looks like a minister.

She thought about it carefully last night, and what she saw in Fengyue Tower still couldn't be just forgotten, and she believed that there were not a few prostitutes who had the same experience as that woman. These women are confined by brothels, there is no freedom and happiness to speak of, and they are so wantonly beaten, scolded and killed, how can women's right to life be trampled on so freely? Qiu Luoxue is also a woman, so she is deeply sympathetic. And she is a powerful woman, as the prime minister of Daqin, she has a lot of right to speak, why not give women some rights?

Yes, what Qiu Luoxue wants to do now is to seal down the brothel. Others are opening brothels, and she prefers to take a different route, although she doesn't know if it will be successful, she has to give it a try. Since you can't get rid of the position of prime minister, it's better to work hard and use this position to do some practical things.

"How can such a trivial matter as a brothel atmosphere be used as a prelude to you?" Lord Neishi Cheng Wei came out and retorted.

"When it comes to the national economy and people's livelihood, there is no trivial matter." Qiu Luoxue said with a righteous face.

"The matter of a few brothels is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the prime minister is a little too exaggerated." Lord Wei said again.

He also looks like he is in his forties, Qiu Luoxue is like a little hairy child in front of him, and people who are so much younger than him have a higher official position than him, and it is normal to be unconvinced.

"Lord Wei's words are wrong. Most of the women in these brothels were forced to become prostitutes, not out of their own volition. This kind of robbery of people's daughters and forcing them to become prostitutes is a violation of our Great Qin criminal law, this phenomenon is widespread, how can it be a trivial matter? Qiu Luoxue retorted unceremoniously.

Xia Zimo sat on the dragon chair and squinted at Qiu Luoxue. Although I don't know why he suddenly started to participate in government affairs, I am very relieved to see how he looks, and he has not been promoted in vain these days.

"Although there are such things, there are not a few people who voluntarily become prostitutes." Master Wei said.

Qiu Luoxue glanced at him disdainfully and asked, "How does Lord Wei know that there are not a few people who volunteer to be prostitutes, do you often go in and out of that kind of place?"

"You ......" Lord Wei was a little anxious when she said this, and said with a slightly warm and angry face: "How does Lord Qiu know that they are forced, is it possible that they often go in and out?"

"No, I just said that I followed Lord Yan on an unannounced visit last night, please listen to me carefully." Qiu Luoxue said with a harmless face.

Xia Zimo had an attitude of watching the show from beginning to end, and when he saw Qiu Luoxue dumbfounded Lord Wei, he unconsciously showed a smile, and his black eyes became even deeper.

"You, since you've only been on an unannounced visit once, how can you get the whole picture?" Master Wei retorted again.

"Because I believe that the people under His Majesty's rule are people who abide by the law of etiquette, and I believe that His Majesty's education of the people is effective. I, Daqin, have always attached great importance to etiquette, and the women of Daqin also follow women's morality and women's morals. If, as Lord Wei said, these women are all willing to become prostitutes, doesn't it mean that the women of my Great Qin are all * disciples? ”

"The prime minister has a point." Xia Zimo came out at the right time to comment.

"Even so, there is no harm in opening a brothel, there are all countries in the world, and if you suddenly want to close down the brothel in the capital, won't it be criticized?" Lord Wei still said without giving up.

"Who said that there is no harm, many children of official eunuchs in Beijing are often jealous because of fighting in brothels, gathering to make trouble, and it is common to beat people to death, which makes the security of the capital very bad. These children were born in official eunuch families, and when something happens, they have to move around and spend money to get into relationships, making the officialdom a miasma and full of money and profit. The capital is an imperial city, with His Majesty in charge, and the atmosphere is like this, how can it not be rectified? ”

"This ...... Your Majesty is still here, and Lord Qiu actually said that the atmosphere in the capital and officialdom is not good, could it be that he didn't take His Majesty seriously? Master Wei began to pick out the words and said.

Xia Zimo frowned after hearing his words, and said: "Prime Minister Qiu is just talking about things, and he doesn't mean to despise the emperor's authority, so Wei Qing shouldn't pick a word."

Qiu Luoxue thought that Lord Wei's words would cause Xia Zimo to be dissatisfied with herself, but Xia Zimo's words completely dispelled the fear in her heart, and she couldn't help but quietly give him a thumbs up. This is the wise emperor, the ministers discuss state affairs, even if they are a little extreme, it is for the sake of the country, don't always use any imperial authority to oppress people, then there is really no way to speak.

Xia Zimo's attitude towards the two words before and after was already very clear, but this Lord Wei didn't know if he was blind or had a relationship with Qiu Luoxue, and he was trying to find fault.

"Your Majesty, this brothel in Beijing is widely implicated, and it can't be easily sealed!" Master Wei said.

"I don't know what Lord Wei means by what he said is very wide-ranging? And for whose interests are it in relation to the essence. It's just that I think it shouldn't be for the benefit of the emperor and the people. Qiu Luoxue said sarcastically.

"You, what do you mean by that?" Master Wei pointed at Qiu Luoxue and said.

"Nothing special, just talk." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile indifferently, knowing that Xia Zimo was on her side, she was even more bold.

She continued: "Your Majesty, there are some people in the capital who do not hesitate to bankrupt their families in order to see the style of the brothel Oiran, which is not conducive to the stability of the people at the closest, and harmful to the small peasant economy of male farmers and female weavers in the distance. Think about it, women are forced to become prostitutes, and men are addicted to brothels and other places such as music shops, how will the country's economy and agriculture be promoted? ”

Saying that, she knelt down again and begged: "Please Your Majesty for the sake of the people, close the brothel in Beijing to calm the people's livelihood."

With the support of the emperor, things are done quickly. The edict came down on the same day, and the officials put up notices in the city to close down the brothels, and not only that, but also granted the prostitutes freedom. As soon as the notice came out, the people in the capital were talking. However, this could not stop the matter of closing down the brothels, and within two days, all the brothels in the capital were closed, and the streets and alleys were also depressed a lot at night.

"I heard that the closure of the brothel was promoted by the new prime minister......

"Really? Why did you close the brothel? ”

"I heard that it is to rectify the atmosphere of the capital......

"Huh...... No, no, I heard that it's because this new prime minister is actually very manly. ”

Qiu Luoxue was eating in a restaurant outside on this day, and she heard a table of people next to her, about four or five, talking about themselves together. I listened well in the front, but how can I be so masculine in the back. Qiu Luoxue was so angry that she put the cup on the table and was about to go to them to settle the account, but fortunately Xu Zhonghang stopped her.

"Forget it, forget it, just listen to this kind of thing, don't take it seriously, people in the capital like gossip the most, but they don't have malicious intentions, you should not have heard it."

Qiu Luoxue sat back in her seat indignantly and said, "Even so, you can't spread this kind of gossip, I really don't know where I heard it."

"The people of the capital are used to hearing all kinds of amazing news, so this imagination is naturally richer than others." Xu Zhonghang said, "But it's also to blame you, the boss is not small, there is not even a wife and concubine in the house, and he is not close to women, so it is naturally easy to make people suspicious." ”

"You seem to be older than me, and you don't have a wife and concubine every day." Qiu Luoxue said.

Xu Zhonghang smiled, he smiled very gently, and said, "No one cares about a small character like me."

"But ......" Xu Zhonghang suddenly approached Qiu Luoxue with doubts and curiosity, and asked, "My lord, do you have any hidden diseases?"

"Hey, I'm really, your imagination is no worse than those tongue-chewing people, it's really nonsense, you have a hidden disease?"

"No, then if you don't have a hidden disease, why don't you get married, and don't let me diagnose your pulse."

"That's because...... Because" Qiu Luoxue couldn't explain for a while, so she could only make an excuse casually and said, "That's because I'm not sick, what to do if I don't have a disease." ”

"If you are sick or not, it is useful for the doctor to say, how can you listen to your words, so let's choose a day than hit the day, I will help you diagnose the pulse now, if there is any hidden disease, let's treat it quickly, early treatment is better than late treatment."

Xu Zhonghang said that he was about to grab Qiu Luoxue's wrist to check the pulse, but fortunately Qiu Luoxue avoided it, crossed his hands and covered his wrists respectively, and warned him: "Don't mess around, I'll bite when I'm angry."

"What's the point of diagnosing your pulse? Adults don't really have hidden diseases. Xu Zhonghang asked matter-of-factly.

"They all said they weren't sick. The body of the original phase has been taken care of by Doctor Wang, and there is no need for Imperial Doctor Xu to bother, if there is a problem, Doctor Wang will definitely be able to see it. Qiu Luoxue said.

"Isn't Doctor Wang out of the capital recently?" Xu Zhonghang asked.

"He's gone on a cloud tour and will be back soon. Until he returns, you don't want to move my pulse. Qiu Luoxue warned.

Although Xu Zhonghang didn't understand why he was so resistant to diagnosing the pulse, but since he said so, it was still a long time, and he was not in a hurry at this time, the only bad thing was that he would be stationed in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, I was afraid that it would be difficult to return to the palace, and I don't know if the person in the palace is okay?
