In the fourteenth year of Cheng'an, Lü Xiaoxuan conquered the island of Kyushu and included Ryukyu in the ruling area, and the territorial waters spread from the South China Sea to the East China Sea.

In the fifteenth year of Cheng'an, Jin Hongzhu, the new head of the household department of Zeguo, held the account book: "This year, there was a locust plague in the east of Beimeng Meng, and the emperor of Beimeng not only did not reduce taxes and taxes, but also further oppressed more money, so the grain market there was extremely chaotic, and people with a way would go to Goryeo and Dongying to exchange heavy profits for food. ”

"What kind of food can those two poor places produce?" Lu Xiaoxuan complained that Goryeo and Dongying are small places, have poor terrain, and high latitudes, and import grain from there, so don't the people eat?

She had only heard of South Koreans not sleeping before, but she had never heard of people not eating.

Jin Hongzhu: "The frequency of rebellions by the people of Northern Bangladesh has indeed increased. ”

Lu Xiaoxuan: "What about Dongying and Goryeo?" ”

Jin Hongzhu mocked: "After all, they have lost this lesson to the princely general Xiangning, the courage to resist is still a little worse than the Chinese civilization, the rebellion of Goryeo has been suppressed, and several nobles have fallen because of this, Dongying is already in a period of war, and no food is not the only reason for the death of the people, it is just a matter of suffering." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan found that Jin Shilang's dislike index for Goryeo was quite high, and she really couldn't tell that she was the one who had found a South Korean boyfriend before crossing over, it seems that she had really had a bad time in Goryeo in the past few years.

They discussed the development of the navy, and half of the military power of Zeguo was in the hands of Qin Zhanying, especially in the army stationed in Nanyu, which has now completed the combination with Nanyu and entered the establishment of various guards, but it is changing from the system to finance, and began to pay food and salary from the treasury of Nanyu, which shows that Yingying is straightening out and taking over the finances over there.

The quality of Zeguo's army can be regarded as the first in the world, in a sense, Ze is strong and weak, so Qin Zhanying is bound to integrate the forces on both sides, and pay close attention to finance, establish a better literacy education system as soon as possible, and raise the quality of the army over there.

After all, the Chinese civilization is a typical land power civilization, and the combination of Yu and Ze in the future is also based on Yu, if the backbone is weak and the branch is strong, there will be a danger of splitting.

After chatting for a while, Shang Shuwei's mother asked to meet, and another waiter reminded the empress to prepare for a meeting, Lu Xiaoxuan covered her face: "Okay, meet before the meeting, I only have ten minutes for her, and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of fried blood duck rice bowl, I will have lunch later, with more vegetables, and give me two bananas, I need fiber, vitamins and sugar." ”

Jin Hongzhu is quite energetic: "Cheer up, Aunt Lu, enjoy the busy moment given to us by power." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan joked: "Of course I have to cheer up, given that I am already the emperor who has launched the most wars this year in the three kingdoms of Meng, Yu, and Ze, if I don't cheer up and work, I really don't know how to digest those territories." ”

Jin Hongzhu: "This year is also the time for your son to go to the battlefield to show his talent for war, when you think that he is your child, then it is as normal for him to fight as a mouse is born to make holes, it is all instinct." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan's expression suddenly cooled down: "I gave Cheng Kailu to him, no matter how talented he is, if there is anyone who lets my son go to the battlefield before the age of eighteen while I am still alive, I don't mind carrying fifty pounds of thunderbolts on my back, and then riding a paraglider to fall from the sky and pull out the stomachs of all the people who let my son go to the battlefield from their intestines!" ”

There is a murderous aura!

Jin Hongzhu was frightened by Lu Xiaoxuan's expression, and the girl, who was still not even a girl, shrank her shoulders, Lu Xiaoxuan rubbed her face, adjusted her expression and stood up.

"I'm kidding, I'm only responsible for doing my job, Yingying's path is chosen by himself, now let Wei Ling in, before the summer harvest, to do a wave of clean government activities." Lu Xiaoxuan smiled, "I don't know what happened to Yingying over there." ”

She rubbed Jin Hongzhu's head, Jin Hongzhu looked up at her, thinking to herself, she still became an emperor, but this is a good thing, if she is not an emperor, she will not even have a place in this era.

Nanyu this year is rare to have a good weather, except for a heavy rain at the beginning of the year so that the Bashu Road was washed away by a wave of floods, the embankment needs to be repaired, the rest of the places for the first time have a little song and dance leveling, so that the emperor can not be so sad good times.

The war on the border is nothing, after all, if Beimeng wants to rob again, won't he be beaten back by the soldiers?

At this time, the Gu family, the largest local wealthy family in Zhejiang and Hangzhou Province, also fell, the Gu family fell, the emperor was full, the treasury was full at once, and Liu Ziyan's illness was half healed by joy.

The full 28 million taels of stolen money made people in the world speechless, knowing that corrupt officials can be corrupt, and local wealthy families can be stripped, but this Gu family is too exaggerated, as the former leader of the old family of the four major pavilions, and the last one to be cleaned up, their corruption and filth are simply amazing.

In fact, it stands to reason that the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for clean government, will stand up for self-examination, but the emperor and the prince thought about it and found that before they decided to copy the Gu family, the Metropolitan Procuratorate Zuodu Yushi personally stood up against it, and there was also a group of small imperial historians under his command who followed the flag and shouted.

That's it, directly check what should be investigated, and do what should be done, the prince personally went to the Hanlin Academy and the officials of various yamen to discover talents, and promoted people who seemed to be okay.

It doesn't matter if some people die, the prince can always take out new people from his talent treasure bag to work, and for a while, no one in the court dares to speak loudly.

The emperor was merciful, and after a reprimand, the Zhejiang Wang's family was imprisoned in Dajing, and the world was still peaceful and beautiful.

At this time, there is a woman who ignores everyone's "finally finished" mentality, on the second day after many officials finished their respite, this woman wore a purple dress and beat the Dengwen drum, this person is the eldest daughter of Xu Zhaoyi, the former prince of the Zhejiang Palace, and the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Jing.

At the same time, Qin Zhanying in the palace was communicating with Emperor Cheng'an: "Uncle, if the clan is dissatisfied with you for letting Xu Jing in, how are you going to deal with it." ”

Emperor Cheng'an coughed: "First of all, I want to say that there is no such thing. ”

"After that, it means that there should be such a thing, but what is a woman? Don't take it too seriously. ”

Qin Zhanying nodded with satisfaction: "What else?" ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "When the clan asked again, I said that Xu Jing came suddenly, and I didn't know that the Xu family, who was recuperating at Liu Ziyan's house, would actually run out to complain, let alone that she had also collected evidence of the crime of the King of Zhejiang in the palace of the King of Zhejiang." ”

Qin Zhanying: "And then? ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "I'm sorry to tell you that it would have been fine if Xu Jing had been stopped from entering the palace at the beginning, or if she had been beaten to death at the gate of the palace, but unfortunately, we didn't have time, she had already come in with evidence...... These four-step fooling methods were still taught by Qiu Yu. ”

Qin Zhanying: "He also taught me that." ”

In Qiu Yu's "Yingying's Exclusive Bedtime Story Collection", there is a story called "Yes, Minister", and this four-step fooling method comes from one of the civil officials.

Bang bang...... The rhythm is not fast, and the drum sound is not even loud for a long time, so that the people of Jingjie fifty meters away from the palace gate have turned their eyes to it.

They pointed at the woman beating the drum, and kept talking to each other.

"It's a woman! No wonder even the drums beat so empty. ”

"What kind of injustice has you suffered to come and beat this drum? This drum is beating deadly! ”

"It's been 20 years since anyone dared to beat this drum."

Dengwen drum is something that has existed since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and there are Dengwen drums outside the yamen and palace gates in various places, especially the Dengwen drums outside the gate of the Yuguo Palace, and they really found out a lot of big and important cases during the reign of Emperor Kailong, and they have become the props for the emperor to fight political enemies.

It's just that I don't know why, this kind of Dengwen drum that can go straight to the heavens, in the later period of the dynasty, will always gradually become a formality, especially after the faint sect ascended the throne, he issued a decree, stating that unless there is a great injustice, the drum cannot be beaten without authorization, and those who have no merit need a staff of twenty before beating the drum, which can be said to have personally weakened the power at hand.

And after the faint sect promulgated this law, there were also people who were wronged and complained, and finally were beaten to death with twenty rods, and after that, no one came.

The people all know that their injustices will not be cared about by the emperor in the future.

To this day, Xu Jing's eyes were calm, and he threw "Yu Law" on the wooden platform in front of Dengwen Drum, which had begun to decay, and his knees fell on it, kneeling upright.

She said to the palace guards who rushed over: "Let's fight, finish it quickly, I can go in and complain." ”

Today is the day of the pilgrimage.

The guards looked at each other.

This woman is dressed plainly, and there is no other decoration on her body except for a sandalwood hairpin, but judging by her demeanor, it is clear that she is not from an ordinary family, so are they heavy or light? If you hit someone hard, you are afraid that you will get revenge, and if you beat it lightly and let people go in alive, will it make the adults in the Holy and Imperial Hall unhappy?

At this moment, Xu Zhaoyi, the servant of the ministry, rushed over, grabbed Xu Jing, and scolded: "Evil animal, what are you doing!" ”

Xu Jing shook it off: "Sue for the people, sue for myself." ”

Xu Zhaoyi's eyes widened, and he only felt that he had never been so ashamed in his life: "What grievances do you have that you can't tell your family?" Must come and beat this drum? You're going to sue the King of Zhejiang, right? You're going to sue the clan, right? has already gone to sue her former husband with the side concubine, if you do this, how will your sister marry in the future! ”

Xu Jing looked at him, a little disgusted and bored.

Her father is a man who doesn't seem to commit crimes, but in fact he is disgusting in a different way from Qin Zhanqi.

As a person born in Jinshi, Lord Xu naturally has a good family background, before the entrance examination, there were thousands of acres of fertile land in his family, and he was a well-known landowner, but after Xu Zhaoyi was admitted to Jinshi, he immediately became a person that the entire clan was proud of.

So Xu Zhaoyi also felt that he was very great, he married the daughter of his master, let his original fiancée be a concubine, and gave birth to the eldest daughter Xu Jing, from childhood to adulthood, every time Xu Jing was slightly unsatisfactory to him, Xu Zhaoyi beat and scolded at every turn, and later Xu Zhaoyi called her full name "Xu Jing", and she was stiff.

But when her father called her full name and she was too scared to move, she clearly saw a touch of happiness in her father's eyes.

My mother is a daughter from a good family, she is meticulous and impeccable, she personally raised her for Xu Jing's marriage, Xu Jing does not hate her mother, and even respects each other very much, and regards her mother as her model, but whenever her mother arranges personal contacts for her father and arranges for her family to go in and out of the New Year's Festival, her father never has a good face, and he always has to pick a few words, and after picking out, he says "In the end, she is a woman, her vision is narrow", and she has to teach her how to do it.

Yes, he always felt like everyone

What to learn from him, but how strange it is, when his colleagues and superiors come to visit his home, he behaves so reasonably, gentle, as if he has gathered all the virtues of scholars, and others say—Lord Xu is! Piece! Good! Person! Na!

At that time, the mother-in-law responded meekly on her face, but in fact, she did what she had to do, Xu Jing felt that she was not afraid of her husband, and she refused to give in to this man in her bones, so every time Xu Zhaoyi entered the mother-in-law's room, the mother-in-law always had a few days to see no one, and sometimes Xu Zhaoyi went to the concubine's room, and Xu Jing could see that the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

Occasionally, Xu Jing sat at the small table, watching her father and grandmother have dinner, her father was picky, venting all his unhappiness, and always showing a point to everything around him during his conversation.

"That Qiongya is so rebellious, it is really reckless to let a woman be the prince!"

"Ze actually uses a female official over there, but Si Chen is just like that! The saint will cry when he sees it! ”

At that time, my grandmother always did not speak, and hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, so she pursed her lips with a handkerchief, and sat there like a sculpture, with empty eyes.

Later, my grandmother gave birth to four children, and Xu Zhaoyi would still go to her room when she was pregnant, so my grandmother was born prematurely in the fourth child, gave birth for a day and a night, shed a lot of blood, and died on the delivery bed with the child in her womb.

And Xu Jing's father seemed to be indifferent, only said a word of bad luck, and when he learned that the fetus that died with his mother was a boy, he finally showed a sad and reluctant look.

The mother-in-law died, and the parents came to mourn, and they were greatly moved to see Xu Zhaoyi crying breathlessly, and increased their support for Xu Zhaoyi, plus later her daughter married into the Zhejiang Palace, and finally made her climb to the position of the servant of the Ministry at the age of less than forty.

But after the death of her mother-in-law, the entire Xu family became a cage that made Xu Jing breathless, and when she was fourteen years old, she began to develop, her height soared, and her chest became straight, and her grandmother took a look at it and asked her grandmother to erect her chest with strips of cloth, saying that she couldn't give birth to a fox like her biological mother.

Xu Jing was out of breath, and began to miss her mother-in-law again, because her mother-in-law was a very tall and plump woman, Xu Jing saw her look when she changed her belly pocket, the woman was startled by the daughter who broke into the house with a windmill, and quickly covered a coat, and saw her daughter looking curiously at the belly pocket on the bed, she smiled and said, "When you grow up, my mother will do it for you."

The grandmother and a maid who had married with her grandmother were laughing, and the eldest maid pulled out a box at the command of her grandmother, picked up the finest and best satin in it and went outside, and called a little maid who was only eight years old.

"Ah Fu, quickly save this dowry treasury for the young lady."

Because she has seen a beautiful woman like her mother, Xu Jing feels that it is good to be a woman, but after her mother's death, Xu Jing also seemed to stop in the year when her mother died, and she had a wounded child in her heart, staying at the age of injury forever.

Later, the princess of Zhejiang came to the capital and held a flower-viewing banquet to choose a side concubine for the prince, Xu Jing worked hard to win the favor of the princess of Zhejiang, she thought that she could escape the suffocating father through marriage, but unexpectedly stepped into another hell.

Now that Xu Jing looked at Xu Zhaoyi, a turbid and painful hatred rose from her heart, making her more and more calm.

The world is like this, a woman is not worth anything when she dies, she has to swallow it in her stomach when she is wronged, and her husband and father do not come to Lord Liu's house to pick her up, just as she is an unlucky dead person, and it will affect her official fortune if she gets a little touch, or he is despising his daughter for living in the house of the female official he once despised the most.

So Xu Jing didn't want to care about Xu Zhaoyi's opinion anymore, this man gave her a life, and she also repaid it with her two years of unhappy marriage.

Xu Jing took two steps forward, approached Xu Zhaoyi, and whispered: "There are so many women's grievances that have nowhere to sue, and they are worthless to die, just like my biological mother and grandmother, we are just like those people, we can't do anything to resist when we are bullied, do you know why this happens?" ”

She looked at Xu Zhaoyi and said loudly: "Because no one dares to use their lives to beat the Dengwen drum again!" So we were bullied to death and died in vain! ”

The woman's voice was like crying blood, sharp and poignant, she showed a look of hatred for a moment, and then quickly retracted, she strode back, turned around, and resolutely knelt on the "Yu Law".

"Let's fight, after the fight, I will continue to sue."

The encounter between her and Jiang Lang was too dark, and the prince was willing to help them bury it, of course she would not take the initiative to expose it, but the prince gave her the opportunity to beat the drum, and Xu Jing had to seize it tightly.

As long as the king of Zhejiang is dead, she seems to have completed a revenge, a revenge of the bullied weak to fight back against those bad and strong.

If she misses this opportunity, she will never have the opportunity to retaliate again, so she will never give up! As long as she is not killed today, she will climb into the Jinluan Palace to sue for this!

The palace gate guards still hesitated, and Xu Zhaoyi rushed over to stop: "Evil animal!" Are you crazy! ”

At this moment, a hand pulled Xu Zhaoyi away, and two men wearing Luan Yi guard clothes walked over, one of them smiled at the guard: "What are you afraid of, just fight, you don't dare to fight, then let's come?" ”

The two tall and mighty Luan Yiwei raised the court staff in their hands high, and the next moment they waved it down, hitting Xu Jing's back with a loud sound.

Xu Jing stumbled, propped her hands in front of her, and almost burst into tears.

It didn't hurt very much, she could feel it, it was not as painful as Xu Zhaoyi beating her, these people deliberately adjusted their strength, just to let her go in alive to sue.

Whether it is the knife that became the prince and killed the family of the king of Zhejiang, or rebuilt the dignity of "Yu Law".

At the moment when the staff fell on her back, Xu Jing felt that she was living like a person.

She cried, crying and thinking, I am a person, I don't have a strip of cloth wrapped around my chest today, I don't have a husband or a father, I'm not a narrow-minded woman, I have long hair and a lot of knowledge, I'm being beaten here for those who are suffering to seek justice, for "Yu Law".

She talked to herself like this, and finally felt that she was worthy.

The court staff was heavy, it was the person who beat it with skill, Xu Jing still left blood, she had a bloody back, the blood soaked her clothes, and walked into the palace with her head held high, the moment she stepped into the palace gate, she turned around, she saw her mother's mother, saw the big girl, and also saw Ah Fu, they stood in the crowd and waved to her, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared again.

Yes, they all died in the palace of the king of Zhejiang in order to protect Xu Jing.

For them, she also has to sue this scene, she wants to sue the Zhejiang Wang's family.

Hatred supported Xu Jing to walk into the Jinluan Palace, in order to prevent things from changing from the dignity of "Yu Law" to the internal fighting of the sect, the prince's people did not speak for her, Xu Jing knelt down to the throne to complain, and then accepted the questioning and even accusations of the hundred officials, she relied on herself to refute the past.

Xu Zhaoyi always said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and her grandmother told her that this sentence means "women must be virtuous even if they are not talented", and personally led her to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, her knowledge is not bad, if it is not a woman, the results of the next exam are better than a few brothers.

She has all kinds of allusions at her fingertips, her words are sharp and logical, and she can fight with her tongue alone.

Xu Jing had a crime in hand, as well as the human and physical evidence that the prince had collected in advance, and even when the Zhewang family was arrested, the people who went to raid the house also dug up a lot of white bones from the garden.

Qin Zhanying, who had already done a good job of hinting at his subordinates to help him when necessary, shook his head slightly at Tang Guo, Liu Ziyan and others, and only at the end of the matter, he motioned to Shangshu Yue Mingli of the Criminal Department to stand up and popularize the science of what punishment should be sentenced for the crime of the Zhejiang Palace.

Yue Mingli saluted Emperor Cheng'an and said, "Your Majesty, according to the "Yu Law", the king of Zhejiang should be sentenced to be beheaded, and the prince should be beheaded. ”

Emperor Cheng'an suppressed the call of the court's clan relatives and civil officials in accordance with the four-step fooling method, and wiped his tears.

"Then let's do it according to the law."

After setting the ending of the Zhejiang Wang's family, Emperor Cheng'an still pretended to pick up a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice to wipe his eyes, beat his chest and cry: "My heart hurts!" Why is my brother so confused! Why can't I keep him at this age, brother, don't blame my brother, the weight of "Yu Law" is inviolable. ”

is also because the acting skills are not good enough, Emperor Cheng'an can only refer to the tone of the crying mourning wife in the village head who he saw when he was young, and leaned on the handkerchief to make his eyes red, and finally pretended to lean back and fainted.

Qin Zhanying took three steps and made two steps to pinch the emperor's people: "Uncle! Wake up, uncle! "It's overdone! Now is not the time to pretend to be dizzy!

Emperor Cheng'an woke up again.

The court became chaotic because of the emperor's pout, in the end, it was the dragon body of the Son of Heaven that was the most important, and the big guy couldn't take care of Xu Jing later.

And Xu Jing stood in the chaotic court, and was finally taken to the prison as a person who offended the Son of Heaven and dared to sue the clan.

This is not only in line with "Yu Law", but also in line with "Court", and more in line with "Inferior".

If you commit a crime, you can be punished with criminal laws such as slap mouth and court rod in the "Yu Law".

She smiled and was taken down by Luan Yiwei, Qin Zhanying exchanged a look with her, and then looked away.

Late at night, Qin Zhanying spread out the letter again.

【…… I regret that neither I nor the emperor can interfere in the matter of restoring the dignity of justice, and it is a shame that this war can only be fought by one woman on the surface.

But the moment I saw Xu Jing kneeling down holding "Yu Law", I admired women other than my grandmother, grandmother, mother, and Lu He's ancestors for the first time from the bottom of my heart.

They are worthy of respect, Brother Yu, you said that if I let others know what I think, will they think that I am an alternative like Xu Jing? 】

Along with this letter, Qiu Yu was accompanied by the news that when the people in the clan wanted to sentence Xu Jingting to fifty rods for her crime and put her to death, the entire capital lawyer stood up to defend her.

Although the prince doesn't seem to have much presence in Xu Jing's complaint, the person who can make such a big move actually doesn't think about it except him.

He protected Xu Jing, so that this brave girl didn't take a slap in the face, and walked out of the yamen with a full beard and a full tail, and a great victory.

Qiu Yu thought about it for a long time, and only wrote one sentence on the letter.

[Yingying, you are not different, you are our pride, and it is your efforts that make the law miraculously shine for the first time in this era. 】：，m..，.
