In the third year of Fenghe, April twenty-seven, that is, the third day after Li Qingqing made a bet with Mr. Weili.

The empress did indeed issue a decree.

First, to show the world that men and women are equal. All rights are available to women, and all rights are available to men.

Second, the reform of hereditary official positions. All officials who take the throne must be of good character and have made great achievements. In this way, he can be recognized by the imperial court and promoted to an official position.

In the private room of the inn, Li Qingqing heard the words and laughed wildly, "Sir, what am I talking about?" ”

Mr. Wei Li, who was sitting opposite, frowned, and looked helpless, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have lost again." ”

Li Qingqing was very satisfied with his attitude of admitting defeat, and his interest was much higher at the moment, looking sideways at the crowd cheering because of the decrees on the street, and couldn't help but analyze the two decrees.

"Most of the two decrees of the mother emperor are general, which seem to improve the status of men, but in fact, they are mainly suppressed.

First, there is great equality between men and women. In addition to the fact that men enjoy the same rights as women, they also enjoy the same restrictions.

Women take leave to give birth, and men have to take leave. In other words, when a female official in the court had to leave the court temporarily due to childbirth, the wife of a male official gave birth to a child, and the male official also had to leave the court temporarily. Wait for the child to return to the court when he lands.

As a result, the situation of ups and downs still exists in the coming and going of official positions in the DPRK and China, and the danger of male officials occupying their positions and having too much power has been ruled out.

Second, hereditary positions need to be recognized. There are more variables here, at present, the majority of the three princes and nine kings are women, and if some of them favor women, then the man has almost no way out.

In the final analysis, the original intention of these two decrees of the mother and queen is to fill the troubles caused by the queen daughter! ”

The empress dowager Minghuang insulted Cao Yuma, which was amplified and spread by others, and turned into a big public opinion of women bullying men, which was tantamount to planting a pair of dynamite in a country that had just awakened men's minds.

If you don't want to be detonated and blown to pieces, then grab the lead and master the ignition time yourself.

After the empress's policy, it is difficult for outsiders to say that the empress prefers women over men, and everything seems to be slowly moving closer to the equal status of men and women.

In fact, it is just a means for people in high positions to play.

Li Qingqing is guessing, will the Cao family buy it?

With these two decrees, she can see a lot of clues, will the Cao family not see it?

Just as she was curious, a shout came from downstairs.

"The third way, the edict of sin!"

For a while, Li Qingqing's eyebrows jumped, and Wei Li was also full of astonishment, which was beyond the expectations of the two, and the two of them squeezed to the window at the same time to listen to the messenger read out the edict of the guilty himself.

“…… If the religion is not strict, and the princess has lost her virtue, she should use this edict to announce it to the world. I hope that the people will overseer that if there is a next time, I will kneel down under the emperor and be ashamed, and then depose the imperial princess to set an example......"

The gist of the edict is that the empress apologized for the empress dowager's insult to the horse, and at the same time swore to the people of the world that she should be strictly disciplined from now on, otherwise she would kowtow to the people of the world and apologize to the emperor first, and then depose the empress.

Unlike the two decrees, this edict is precise, earnest, and sincere.

Even if the Cao family is dissatisfied with the matter of the decree, it is not easy to attack the edict of sin, and it can be regarded as pressing this matter.

As a result, a storm in which the crown princess insulted Cao and the horse, causing a war on the status of men and women, came to an end.

Li Qingqing raised her eyebrows, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly turned her eyes away and sat down in front of the cushion as she pretended to be careless, poured herself a cup of tea, leaned on the table, and chewed the tea slowly.

This subtle change in expression made Mr. Wei Li see it in his eyes.

Mr. Wei Li rarely guessed Li Qingqing's thoughts, but this time he guessed right, this seemingly uninhibited and frivolous Huangge prince actually longed for maternal love deep down.

For some reason, Her Majesty's three daughters. She regards the princess as the rising sun of the future and pins her hopes on it; regard the three princes as pearls, and I can't wait to hold them in the palm of my hand; It is not a pity to regard this fifth prince as a disadvantage, and it is not a pity to abandon it.

Mr. Wei Li let out a long sigh, and his heart ached.

"Why is the gentleman sighing?" The sensitive Fifth Prince, Li Qingqing, had already realized why he was sighing at the moment, but her maverick nature made her not only not hide it, but also ask questions.

Mr. Wei Li didn't dare to say it directly, for fear of hurting the heart of the fifth prince, so he had to prevaricate.

His eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly thought, "The prince returned to the capital this time, mainly to ask the empress dowager, who is the great situ, for the remaining funds for the construction of the sea pond in the coastal county. Unexpectedly, on the same day, there was a dispute between the queen and the concubine, and the incident intensified.

I'm afraid that at the moment, the whole court and the central government are spreading the word that you have spread this matter. The subordinates sighed, sighing that the prince had many disasters and difficulties, and this time, I am afraid that it will cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied. ”

After Mr. Wei Li said this, he found that he had invisibly talked about the empress again, and hurriedly pulled the conversation back, "Lord, in order to avoid the limelight, you have been lying in the mansion for three days because you are sick. I don't know how much will happen in the coastal counties in the past three days, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid there will be countless variables. ”

Li Qingqing sneered and raised her glass of tea unhurriedly.

"Lord, ...... you" Wei Li was a little anxious and reminded him softly, but at this time, he saw through the mystery from Li Qingqing's unhurried expression, "Could it be that you want to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

Li Qingqing still didn't say anything, only left a look for him to understand.

Wei Li smiled with relief, marveling at the prince's strategy, however, he was amazed for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was still a matter to be resolved.

However, just when I wanted to ask, I felt that since the prince had even thought of the chaos in the coastal county, this matter should also be dealt with, so I didn't ask at the moment.

But he didn't ask, but Li Qingqing suddenly opened his mouth.

"In the case of the crown princess, the court and the mother will definitely think that it is a rumor spread by this king. Therefore, if this king does not enter the palace tomorrow, the gentleman must think of a good rhetoric. ”

The corners of Wei Li's mouth twitched, "Lord Wang, you, you" will really embarrass people. Wei Li wiped his sweat.

Li Qingqing laughed wildly, but his eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "This is a gambling game, I am willing to lose the bet." Sir promised this king, regardless of any conditions, and now you want to tell me the conditions? ”

"Don't dare!" Wei Li heard the sudden cold air rising at the end of the note, and immediately stood up from the cushion and bowed down.

Li Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, and then the cold air dissipated, and her smile returned to her old face.

Following......

The black horse rushed out of the imperial capital, and on the pure black and shiny horse was the fifth prince Li Qingqing.

This time, Li Qingqing went alone, without any entourage. Because she believes that someone must not dare to set up troops to ambush her at this critical moment when rumors are spreading, otherwise, no one will carry the pot of this farce of the princess.
