As soon as the two entered the palace, Zhaoqing came to lead them to see the emperor.

Chu Luan was thinking about how to speak when she saw the emperor for a while, when a big hand suddenly grabbed it firmly, making her tremble in fright, and when she looked back, it turned out that Wei Li was holding her hand, probably because she was afraid that she would be afraid.

What a joke. Chu Luan wanted to withdraw her hand, but who knew that the other party was caught, and after several attempts to no avail, she simply compromised.

Wei Li held Chu Luan's hand, not to take advantage of her, but to everyone to see the intimacy between him and Chu Luan, so that those palace people could take care of him and not embarrass Chu Luan. However, even if he knew that Chu Luan was in a hurry to get rid of him because of a misunderstanding, he would still feel a little lost in his heart.

She was in such a hurry to clear up the relationship with herself, was she afraid that Murong Jin would misunderstand?

But Chu Luan didn't think about it so much, she just wasn't used to being close to people. Zhaoqing, who was walking in front, seemed to notice something, and when he glanced sideways, he saw that the hands of the two were tightly pulled together, and he couldn't help but sigh: Alas, young man.

……

"Lord Wang, county lord, please wait here for the two of you, and let the slave maid go and report it." After speaking, he entered the imperial study and shut the two people who were still holding hands out of the door.

After a while, the delicate door opened again, and Zhaoqing looked at the hands that the two were still holding together, and couldn't help but smile with unknown meaning, and said respectfully, "Please." ”

Until they entered the door and saw Murong Chuyao, the hands of the two did not let go, more precisely, Wei Li did not let go.

Murong Chuyao looked at the two of them "affectionate" and "like glue", and his expression was rarely relaxed, and he asked in a gentle voice like a loving father, "I have heard about the matter, what are you going to do now?" ”

Chu Luan struggled again, but this time Wei Li quickly let go. She has made a big gift, neither humble nor arrogant, "Chu Luan believes that marriage cannot be regarded as child's play." A woman will be severely punished when she withdraws from her marriage, why is it that when a man withdraws from the marriage, he only gently reveals it? ”

"What should you do?" Murong Chuyao leaned on the dragon chair behind him, his posture relaxed, but the furrow between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

Chu Luan knew that her next words would offend many people, but she didn't care, sticking to the old rules would only make things worse and worse, and only by making changes could she change her life. Someone will set a precedent, and she's just stepped up at the right time.

"Self should be the study of the law, redefining the sin of divorce. If a woman withdraws from the marriage, her father will receive 100 boards, and all the bride price will be repaid twice, and in serious cases, she will face prison and exile. The same should be true of the man who withdraws from the marriage. Chu Luan's voice was not loud, but every word was so sonorous and powerful.

After Murong Chuyao heard this, he didn't react directly, and asked Chu Luan about the origin of this idea, "How did you think of this, just for Qin Hai's daughter?" ”

"Chu Luan has a bold word, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"Lord Qin can be regarded as an old minister in the court, and in the face of the divorce, he can only swallow his anger. Let's ask, what should those ordinary women do if they are divorced by men? His Majesty sat in the high hall, and he never saw the wind and snow. But Chu Luan has seen it, I have seen women who are divorced by men, and they can no longer find good relatives, either as concubines or green lantern ancient Buddhas, and women who commit suicide because they can't bear the prejudice of the world abound. Dare to ask Your Majesty, if the law is not changed, how can grievances be redressed, and how can the people be determined! ”

Murong Chuyao looked at Chu Luan, who was arrogant, even if she knelt in front of him and groveled to him, the arrogance on her body was really like Chu Xu when she was young. He sneered, with a bit of sarcasm, "So you're accusing me of being unfair and governing the country improperly?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Li immediately knelt on one knee and pleaded for Chu Luan: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger." ”

Murong Chuyao didn't have an immediate attack, but became interested, he wanted to hear what other big rebellious things Chu Luan could say, "Then you go on, how should I change this law and regulations?" ”

"Chu Luan has the courage to abolish this law; The second is to make the man who divorces the marriage subject to the same punishment. Let them all have the right to pursue freedom. ”

"Ridiculous!" The emperor picked up a teacup in his hand and threw it at Chu Luan.

The teacup fell to the ground in response, but he didn't hear the sound of breaking, Chu Luan opened his eyes suspiciously, and a black figure stood in front of him. Thanks to Wei Li's rough skin and thick flesh, there is no big problem, but the corner of his forehead is knocked red.

Even seeing the two so close, the emperor couldn't be happy, and even angered Wei Li, "You still dare to protect her!" "What a lust!

Wei Li protected Chu Luan behind him, making sure that everything would only fall on him for a while, before he put his mind at ease and argued with Murong Chuyao, "Your Majesty, the minister is not partial to Miss Chu, but what Miss Chu said is indeed reasonable. ”

"Presumptuous!" Murong Chuyao was furious.

Wei Li was not confused at all, and still tried to convince him, "Your Majesty, both men and women, are your people. Can you bear to let your daughter be hurt like this? What would happen to you if the princess was divorced for no reason? ”

After putting himself in his shoes, Murong Chuyao could no longer speak.

Chu Luan also added, "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the dynasty, hasn't what prevailed in Yongguo be enlightened and open? So women can also march and fight, read and write poems. His Majesty's love for women, Chu Luan sees it in his eyes, so why can't he give them another way to live? ”

Murong Chuyao was embarrassed when he heard it, this is not a big deal, but men have been inferior to women since ancient times, and there are many old ministers in the court, they will never agree to revise the law, once the law is modified, then women may still ride on the head of men in the future.

"Think about it again." Murong Chuyao had a headache and called Zhaoqing in, "Chu Luan, you are causing trouble in the street today, and the evidence of beating the imperial court officials is conclusive, and I can't easily let you go back." The order was sent down and Chu Luan was temporarily detained, and no one was allowed to visit him without my permission. ”

Zhaoqing: "Yes. ”

……

The news of Chu Luan's detention soon spread.

Xuan Jun also had to go out of the customs in advance, after knowing Chu Luan's "deeds" today, it was rare that he did not scold her, but appreciated it very much, but he felt that she was still too impulsive to act today, if she could be patient and make a plan, she would definitely be able to get out of the way.

Yu Nu was puzzled, isn't Xuan Jun the most taboo on weekdays Chu Luan acting rashly, why is it so abnormal today?

Xuan Jun explained, "Yongguo is now declining, and those outdated concepts and laws account for a large reason. "Once the laws of Yongguo's years of injustice are changed, those who have suffered from injustice will remember and appreciate Chu Luan's feat today.

Yunu just put down his heart and mentioned that today is the third year of the new year!

"However, now that Ah Luan is imprisoned, no one can see her, what if she has a Gu poison attack?"

"Why don't I find a way to sneak into the palace and secretly send her medicine?" Yunu suggested.

Xuan Jun waved his hand and took out a new small porcelain bottle, which was the new medicine he had refined in the past few days of retreat, and handed it to Yunu, but instead of letting Yunu take it to Chu Luan, he said meaningfully, "You take this bottle of medicine to Murong Jin, pretend to be in a hurry, and let him find a way to bring it in and give it to her." ”

There's nothing like sending charcoal in the snow.

Yu Nu looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. She and Chu Luan grew up together, and the two should have been close, but they have been lying to her all along. There is also Xuan Jun, Chu Luan trusts him so much, but he has been living in lies. These days, she obviously felt that Chu Luan was not as close to them as before, no one was a fool, she knew that Chu Luan must have noticed something, but she didn't say it. Sometimes, she also wanted to be impulsive and tell her all the truth, but she was never as brave as Chu Luan.

The Qin Mansion on the other side was also very busy, after Chu Luan was taken away, the Yu Nu also hurriedly returned to the mansion to ask Xuanjun to come out, and the Ye family had no scruples, and those aunts took turns to fight, and the saliva seemed to be able to drown the entire Qin family, and the words they said were more and more ugly.

"It's your blessing that the Ye family can take a fancy to you, don't be ignorant."

"Woman Hugh? It's a ridiculous joke! ”

"A barbarian woman like you, how could the third prince like it?"

The scene was chaotic for a while, Mrs. Ye's previous illness had not yet recovered, and now she was so angry that she fell completely ill, and she couldn't drink the medicine, or Daisy went to find Qi Han, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yuan also locked himself in the house and didn't see anyone.

The entire Qin family was left with Qin Hai to support him, but after this experience, his blow was not small, he still stayed outside Mrs. Qin's door, and did not dare to leave for a while, wanting to drink to relieve the depression in his heart, and he was afraid that Mrs. would come out and get angry for a while, so he stood in the sun, dizzy from the sun, and refused to leave when his clothes were wet.

At dusk, the door finally opened, Qin Hai wanted to step forward, but found that he couldn't lift his legs, he walked forward with his legs in his hands, which was very funny. Seeing this, the family hurriedly helped, and was about to walk to the door, Qi Han saluted them, with a little fatigue and guilt, "I have done my best to make her ......"

Qin Hai pushed away the family members beside him, stumbled in, and watched Mrs. Qin lying motionless on the bed in anger, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, leaning on the head of the bed and crying.

Maybe Qin Hai's voice was too loud, Mrs. Qin was woken up by him, she was no longer able to open her eyes, and could only weakly tell the last thing in a qi voice, "Brother Qin, I'...... When you're gone, remember to take good care of your ...... Kite, marriage is a big event, you must ...... Careful! Luan ...... It's a good boy, don't you want to be angry with her......"

Qin Hai was afraid that he would miss a sentence, so he even suppressed his sobs, and didn't dare to make a sound.

"If, one day, Ah Luan can really ...... Go back to Jiangnan and let her take the kite...... Let's go together. After that, she used all her strength, finally opened a slit, and finally glanced at Qin Hai, snot and tears covered her whole face, it was really funny, but she couldn't laugh, only distressed, "Brother Qin, are you tired......"

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, you hold on, I've already sent someone to call the kite, you hold on." The grinning Qin Hai didn't know that his wife had already left. He was still urging loudly, "What about people? Why hasn't the girl come yet! Go and scream! ”

Qi Han watched the family's needless busyness, but in the end, he didn't wake them up.

Daisy stood by and watched, feeling very uncomfortable, but she couldn't cry, which would only make Qin Hai even more devastated.

"A-Niang—"

Qin Kite finally came, she ran over crying, there was only one shoe on her feet for some reason, her hair was messy, the exquisite beaded crown was missing, some dots of emerald were tied up by messy hair, she was tripped by the wedding dress and fell in front of Mrs. Qin's bed.

Qin Kite's face was full of tears, regardless of the dirt on her hands, she directly wiped away her tears, and made a smile, wanting to take a good look at her mother and talk to her, but she was stunned when she looked up, her aunt had already left forever before she had time to see her for the last time.

"Auntie, don't scare me." She pounced like crazy and shouted "A-Niang" in her mouth.

And Qin Hai finally reacted, "Madam-"

On the third day of the seventh month, the red thing turned into a white thing, and the poor Qin girl wore a wedding dress and a mourning dress.

There was also a heated debate in the court about the punishment that men should receive for withdrawing from marriage, but most people disagreed.

"Men have been inferior to women since ancient times, and now they have to change the world because of the words of a woman!" Shen Shangshu was the first to stand up against it.

"It's just to improve the law, and it's not as serious as Lord Shen said." The young people led by Gu Yan did not agree with Shen Shangshu's extreme views.

"Weichen also thinks that this is inappropriate, not to mention that before, that is, since the founding of the country, how many women have suffered for life because of improper marriage, if this law can be abolished, so that both men and women have the opportunity to follow their hearts, wouldn't it be better?" Everyone knows that Zhao Shangshu is a strict wife, and most of what he said was said by his wife pulling the root of his ear.

His views were simply ignored by the old-fashioned ministers.

"Zhao Shangshu, is it so easy to abolish the law, if it is really abolished, then women can withdraw from marriage at will in the future? At that time, all the major events of marriage will become child's play, how will my eternal kingdom still be prosperous! Mo Han was already resentful because she had a marriage contract with Chu Luan before, and Chu Luan caught the fact that she was in Jiangnan and didn't know the marriage contract and the affection between him and Shen Yingxue, plus His Majesty favored her Chu family, so he actually gently revealed it. This time, I have to win back a city even if I say anything.

The emperor had a headache when he heard their quarrel, and threw the question to Murong Xiu and Murong Yu, "Xiu'er, Yu'er, what do you think?" ”

Murong Xiu naturally didn't agree, and let men and women be punished the same? The world's ridiculous.

Murong Yu didn't express his position directly, but he also felt that it was inappropriate.

After asking for a long time, Murong Chuyao asked Murong Jin's opinion again, and the latter surprised him, the son who had always been tepid showed such a firm expression in front of him for the first time, "Erchen believes that men are born to protect women, not to push them into the abyss. As a man, you should be humble to women. Please change the law so that men can divorce and be guilty of the same sin as women. ”

The whole court hall was noisy again.

"Report-" An attendant stood outside the hall to report the situation, and everyone stopped arguing together, "Your Majesty, this is a resignation letter handed over by Lord Qin." ”

"What?" Murong Chuyao didn't understand why Qin Hai resigned at this time? Seeing that Yongguo is short of people, otherwise he would not have been transferred back, but now it's good, he actually dares to resign! He gave Zhaoqing a look, and the latter went down to take the letter and present it to the emperor.

Murong Chuyao unfolded the letter,

"The minister has been an official for 20 years, and he has been favored by Junduo; When Nai is not good for me, things happen; I have nothing to do with the court, so I beg for bones and hope for the grace of the saint. ”

"Huh." Murong Chuyao sneered, just to resign for such a trivial matter? I'm still thinking of a solution, give him an explanation!

"Someone, call Qin Hai to see me now!"

The Son of Heaven gave an order, but no one dared to move.

I saw that the chamberlain was cowering, and buried his head lower, "Your Majesty, Lord Qin can't face the saint now, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." ”

"Why is that?" Wei Li asked.

"Because, because Lord Qin's wife...... Went west. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it shocked everyone.

Murong Chuyao leaned weakly on the dragon chair and sighed in his heart, okay, okay, what kind of unintentional thing is this? It is clear that I am disappointed in this court, and I am disappointed in the emperor.

When Prime Minister Ye heard the news, he was not much better than the emperor, the blood on his face faded, and he fell straight to the ground.

The whole court made a pot of porridge.

"Your Majesty! Mrs. Qin's death was so sudden, it was inseparable from Prime Minister Ye Cheng's father and son, and the minister asked him to return Lord Qin to justice. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Today, Prime Minister Ye Cheng, who was still touted not long ago, has become the target of everyone's crusade. His son, the prodigy, was also reduced to the flesh of someone else's sword.

Murong Jin looked at those who stood up to accuse Prime Minister Ye Cheng and laughed in his heart. He knew very well that the people in front of him were by no means simply standing up for justice, they were just choosing a path that could better protect their rights and interests in the face of revising the law and giving an explanation to the Qin family.

"Father, the son thinks that there is no hurry to deal with Ye Gongzi, the top priority is to keep Lord Qin, he is a meritorious minister, and Yongguo cannot do without him. In addition, the law must be reformed, otherwise there will be more innocent people like Lord Qin who will suffer injustice. "Murong Jin has become famous because of today's words, and many ministers have thrown themselves into his camp.
