Chapter Seventy-Five, Resistance
At this moment, Chu Luan's eyes looking at Ye Cheng seemed to be quenched with poison, she turned over and dismounted, slowly approached him, and said, "I really underestimate you, you have treacherously treacherously three times and twice, is this what a gentleman did?" ”
Prime Minister Ye Cheng also seemed to be afraid that Chu Luan would hurt people at this time and hurt each other's face, so he stood up and tried to reconcile, "County Lord, this matter is indeed the fault of the rebel son first, I will punish it and give you an explanation." ”
"Prime Minister Ye, I used to think that you are an old minister in the court and have an in-law relationship with the Qin family, so you have always treated each other politely, and I never thought that you were also an unreasonable person." Chu Luan's face was full of gloom, but he still remained calm, "Ye Gongzi treats marriage as child's play, if he wants to get married, he will get married, and if he wants to get married, he will withdraw from the marriage, have you ever considered the innocence of a woman?" ”
Chu Luan remembered countless times in her dreams that on that day, when the gongs and drums were noisy and the guests were full, she hurried to the Yong'an Palace, but what was ushered in was the abandonment of the groom's official. There is no emotion between her and Mo Han, and it is not sad, but it is a great humiliation for anyone to leave his wife on the wedding day for another woman. After that, gossip drowned her like a tide.
And now, Qin Kite is also facing the same experience as herself, how can she sit idly by?
Prime Minister Ye Cheng couldn't argue with Chu Luan's questioning, so Mo Han wanted to help the Ye family and be a peacemaker, so he persuaded Chu Luan to look at the point, "The twisted melon is not sweet, and Ye Gongzi will stop the loss in time." Besides, didn't he already bear the guilt of Jing Pleading, and even accepted Miss Qin's letter of resignation. County Lord, you still have to be forgiving and forgiving. ”
Hearing Mo Han say these words in person, those dusty memories couldn't stop appearing in front of her, and the monstrous resentment was about to swallow her, and her tone became fierce, "So! So should she bear the gossip of the world and live in remorse for the rest of her life? ”
Mo Han didn't expect Chu Luan to have such a fierce reaction, she only felt that she was inexplicable, "The matter has happened, the mistake has been admitted, the punishment has been punished, and the letter of resignation has been accepted, what else do you want?" ”
"Naturally, it is dealt with according to the law of the eternal kingdom." Chu Luan stood in the wind and resisted all the doubts around him, "Accept a hundred boards, compensate the woman for double the dowry, and if you disobey, you will be removed from your official position and exiled for three years." ”
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.
Even the jade slave felt that Chu Luan was really too much in this way. She wanted to seek justice for Qin Yuan and understand herself, but ...... Such a request can be called putting the cart before the horse.
Mrs. Ye also retorted, "I have lived for decades, and I have never heard of a man who repents of marriage and has to deal with it according to the law, which is simply a big joke in the world." ”
Some who are not familiar with the laws of the eternal kingdom say that they have never heard of it.
But there are also people who remember that there was such a provision in the law of Yongguo, "It is said in the law that if a woman withdraws from marriage, her father will receive a hundred boards, and the man will be compensated with double the dowry, and if she does not obey, she will be removed from her official position and exiled for one year." ”
From this point of view, Chu Luan is completely putting the cart before the horse.
"Joke, you punish men with the law that binds women." Mo Han scoffed.
The rest echoed him, "Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?" ”
"It is a felony to tamper with the law."
……
In the face of everyone's accusations and ridicule, Chu Luan did not change his color, and still said loudly, "It is a serious crime for a woman to withdraw from marriage, but the sin committed by a man is even more serious!" Women not only have to endure gossip, but also endure family accusations, and even never meet their loved ones again for the rest of their lives. For thousands of years, how many women have committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river because of this? Is that the right thing to do?! ”
"That's a good point." There was a round of applause in the distance, but the tone of the other party was full of contempt.
Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Murong Xiu. He was followed by the guests who came from the Ye Mansion, the Ruan family, Chu Xu's father and son, and several princes.
When the people around saw Murong Xiu, they retreated one after another, giving him a "broad road". The latter chuckled, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Chu Luan, "Chu Luan, you are really not afraid of death." You can also say such a big rebellion. As he spoke, he looked at Chu Xu behind him, "Zhenbei Hou, I know that you are going to say that your daughter grew up in a barbarian land and doesn't understand the rules, so the king will trouble you to teach her the rules!" Since ancient times, men have been respected and women have been humbled. You teach her how to write the word "humility"! ”
Chu Xu looked at Chu Luan without saying a word, his eyes full of sadness.
Chu Luan saw his embarrassment, and she didn't want to drag down the Zhenbei Houfu, so she threatened: "Why do you need to ask for the word humility, who of you present can't write?" Even if you can't write, don't you do these two words enough on weekdays? ”
She has already seen through the groveling appearance of the world, and the way of survival in this troubled world.
"The world looks down on women and treats them as playthings. Even a major event like divorce has always been a woman's loss. When a man is divorced, at most his face is damaged, he is treated as a drunken gossip, and two years of shame have passed. But what about women? What about their lives! Chu Luan argued with reason, this is not only for Qin Yuan, but also for himself, but also for women in the world who have suffered like them. There are many injustices in this world, but she still wants to fight, even if it can only be exchanged for a little change.
"Presumptuous! Do you know what you're talking about? Murong Xiu was furious, "You can also say such a rebellious thing!" ”
"Why not! It is the duty of human beings to speak uprightly. The world is unfair, everyone despises women, and if no one stands up for them today, then so many poor women will become even more ignorant and completely reduced to the playthings of men. As for this, Chu Luan's emotions became more and more excited, "Yongguo is a politically enlightened country, women can enter the court as officials, march and fight, and write poems and lyrics. Then why can't we give them one more way to live! ”
These words were a big rebellion, but they did hit the hearts of many people present.
Prime Minister Ye Cheng understands the hatred in Chu Luan's heart, and also understands the justice in her heart, but he doesn't agree with Chu Luan making things to this point, after all, no matter whether Chu Luan can change the rules set for thousands of years, Ye Cheng will inevitably be punished, that is his son, it is the pride of his Ye family, he does not allow Ye Cheng to have an accident, "County Lord, I know that you want to seek justice for Miss Qin, but you are really too much to do this, do you dare to say these words in front of the saint, the saint is also a man, do you want to say that the saint should also compromise with women?" ”
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he is a wise king first, and these women are also his people, the king loves the people, why can't he pity these weak women?"
"You ......" Murong Xiu wanted to say something, but he heard someone behind him say in a loud voice,
The county lord is right. The world has given too much preference to men, while women suffer from all the injustices of the world. Regardless of dignity or humility, all women are despised. Even if you have good thoughts, you should also give these women a way to live. The woman was dressed in purple, standing next to an old woman in gorgeous clothes, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her smile was full of style, it was the second girl of the Ruan family, Ruan Qianyan.
"What are you, you dare to come out and stir up!" Murong Xiu was about to teach Ruan Qianyan a lesson, and the guards around him were already on call at any time.
Chu Xu spoke up at this time, "His Royal Highness King Xiu, Qian Yan is young and ignorant, and she still hopes to forgive her sins." ”
I haven't seen Chu Xu for a long time, but now seeing him protecting someone else's daughter again, Chu Luan's heart will still be touched.
Chu Xu was the emperor's most trusted person, Murong Xiu didn't want to offend him, so he didn't embarrass Ruan Qianyan, but turned the spearhead, "You reminded me that Chu Luan instigated on the street, deliberately caused trouble, intended to rebel, and was arrested immediately!" ”
"Wait!" Qin Hai dropped the kitchen knife in his hand, stepped forward quickly, and apologized to Murong Xiu, "Lord Wang, Ah Luan, she just wants to seek justice for the little girl, and she has no intention of rebelling." ”
Murong Xiu sneered, three points uninhibited, seven points evil, "Lord Qin, she has said such rebellious words, do you dare to say that she has no intention of rebellion?" Let's do it! ”
Seeing that the guards around Murong Xiu were pressing step by step, Chu Luan did not resist, what Murong Chuyao said was extreme, but he was indeed an enlightened monarch, she believed that he would definitely listen to his advice, even if there was only a small change, it would not be in vain.
Just when everyone thought she would be taken away, Chu Luan only felt a warm palm against her wrist, and the person pulled hard, and the back of her head hit a strong chest. The other party's magnetic voice was like a summer wind, heartwarming, "Chu Luan is making trouble on the street, so I will hand it over to Your Majesty to deal with." Don't work hard to repair the king. ”
Murong Xiu gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw Wei Li protecting Chu Luan like this, "Wei Xiyun, are you going against this king?" ”
"How come, I'm just doing what His Highness says, does it mean that His Highness doesn't want to bring people to His Majesty?"
If this is the case, then Murong Xiu is abusing lynching, which is a serious crime according to the laws of the Eternal Kingdom.
Murong Xiu nodded, and it took a long time to force out a sentence, "Then you will take care of her, if someone runs away, you are the only one who asks!" ”
Wei Li also promised, "That's nature." ”
……
In this way, the divorce has not yet been resolved, but Chu Luan's words did wake up many people.
Why does a man withdraw from marriage, but it is the woman who gets hurt in the end?
Why is it that a woman should be dealt with according to the law when she divorces, while a man can be treated as if nothing had happened?
Some people even asked: Why are women born inferior to men?
Wei Li said that he was escorting Chu Luan to see the emperor, but he ended up riding in a carriage with her, and there were melons and fruits and refreshments on the low table in the car.
"Why did you help me?" Chu Luan looked at the treatment in front of him that was not at all like the treatment of prisoners, and asked his own questions.
Wei Li poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Chu Luan, and then poured another cup for himself, took a sip, and said slowly, "It's very simple, Yu Gong, I think what you said is reasonable, and you shouldn't be punished; Yu privately ......" He turned his head to look at Chu Luan and slowly approached......
The fist in the latter's hand was already clenched, but his face still maintained a calm appearance, and finally, Wei Li stopped at a distance of only one punch from her, and said in a low voice, "Yu Zhi, I like you and don't want to see you hurt." Moreover, he was still waiting for the day of Qixi Festival, and the two of them went to release the river lantern together.
Looking at the enlarged handsome face in front of him, Chu Luan suddenly smiled, and the hot air sprayed on the other party's jaw, warming his lips and burning his heart, Wei Li's eyes lingered on Chu Luan's fox-like eyes and a mean lip, between which the other party's eyes were like a crescent moon and his eyebrows were like meteors, pretending to be pure and playful, testing his heart, "Then what if Your Majesty also wants to punish me?" ”
Wei Li was about to be bewitched by her, "Do you think Your Majesty is not a Ming Jun?" ”
"The crowd is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed."
Wei Li's heart trembled suddenly, and he blurted out, "Then I will also fight with reason, if I ignore me, I will find reason, even if it is a dead admonition, I will protect you." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned, Wei Li didn't expect that his love for Miss Chu had reached this point? actually subconsciously wanted to protect her at the cost of his life. Chu Luan was puzzled, where did she seem to have heard this promise.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Chu Luan put away his smile, turned his face away, and found a step for both sides, "King Yongning is really good at making girls happy." ”
Wei Li saw that his sincerity was ignored again, half annoyed and half helpless, he obviously did what Shi San said, and the inadvertent seduction of beauty would definitely make Miss Chu's heart upset, and then his good feelings rose. Why does the other party still look so calm, but he can't hold his breath first, his heart is confused, and his brain is also confused.
But he was still unwilling, and still defended himself, "I'm not pleasing you, I'm sincere." ”
Returning to the question of sincerity or insincerity, Chu Luan couldn't help but be a little irritable, after so many things, she didn't believe in sincerity for a long time, why did there still be fools who took care of themselves and held their sincerity in front of her, she couldn't see it clearly.
"That Chu Luan has lived up to the prince's sincerity, he really deserves death."
Wei Li knew that Chu Luan's heart wall was too high and too thick, and he couldn't break it for a while, but he wasn't in a hurry, for now, it was important to solve Chu Luan's troubles first, "I met the emperor in a while, how are you going to defend yourself?" ”
"Know it with affection, move it with reason." There is no other way.
"Those old ministers in the DPRK and China have rotten ideas and may not agree with them, so what should you do then?"
This time, Chu Luan can no longer make a posture of victory, the tangible sword can still resist, how can the invisible sword dodge?
Wei Li asked: "Do you regret it?"
Chu Luan didn't come to his senses for a while, "What do you regret?" ”
"I regret saying that."
Chu Luan didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Don't regret it, someone has to set that precedent for some things." Even if there is no me today, tomorrow, next year, and even beyond, there will always be people like me who will stand up and rebel against the injustice of fate. ”
Wei Li looked at Chu Luan, in addition to the admiration, he also had a little more admiration, and he really liked her more.
He solemnly promised, "I'll help you." ”
