Chapter 257: Yue Yi
Zhao Su shrugged his shoulders. Just say it, how can something before not say, this moment suddenly can say? It is not just to see that she will soon be the queen, have the power, can do things, this is to say out.
But this is also common sense, even he a minister feel bad things, general people certainly can not do.
She thought about it, then said: “This woman miscarried how can not be considered a substantial injury? If the fetus falls, isn’t it also very harmful to the woman’s body? Isn’t this lazy governance on the part of the government?”
Fang Qingxue let out a sigh of regret: “The Yamen handles hundreds of cases, thousands of cases, all of them are life and death cases, they have no time to pay attention to it, even if they take it, I do not know how long it will be delayed to the monkey months.”
Zhao Su turned over the dossier and looked at it, then closed it up again. “If we manage this matter, how should we manage it?”
Fang Qingxue stroked his whiskers and sank his breath, “This petition has been handed to me for only three days. If we want to manage it, then of course the first thing is to figure things out first. Due to this Sun Xiulan’s strong character, whether or not things are as she said, we can’t listen to her words, after Yu Qingping’s incident earlier, many people are waiting to catch the Flower Moon Society’s handle, if there is a hitch in this matter, maybe some people will have to use filial piety as a cause of action.”
“Then is it possible to summon Sun Xiulan to come here?”
“Sun Xiulan’s husband is sick in bed because of this, she can’t get away, and the papers are sent by her family.”
“Then let’s send someone!”
“That’s the only way. But we have to send someone who is smart and can do the job.”
Tongzhou to the capital is not close, not far, if we send someone who is not smart, it will only delay the work.
This matter is still to Fang Qingxue to. Zhao Su said: “Then the adults to dispatch, back to the news we will discuss.”
Fang Qingxue will leave the dossier, and then toward the door, Zhao Su sent a few steps, just out of the threshold, there was a noise outside the door.
Zhao Su looked at the original standing under the door of the magistrates were all attracted attention, could not help but ask: “What is it?”
“Miss!” Flowers want to Rong came over, “several imperial inspectorates against the court appointed female officials, kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace, article by article, the emperor ignored, only to call the cabinet to deal with! Outside the clamor, is Zhang Shangshu is rushing to the palace!”
Zhao Su’s heart tightened as she listened to this, the court lady official, doesn’t that mean her?
She subconsciously crossed the courtyard.
Fang Qingxue pulled her back, “If you go at this time, you will only add fuel to the fire. It’s better to rely on the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to handle it.”
“Aren’t they being a bit petty? What am I doing in their way when I am on this errand? It’s not like I’m stealing their jobs!”
Fang Qingxue deeply said, “If the court insists on implementing meritocracy, then at least half of the countless paid officials inside and outside of Great Liang will be kicked out. And if meritocracy does not discriminate between men and women, then at least half of the vacant jobs will be taken over by women. How many corpses under the sky are benefited by the rites of passage.”
“……”
So it was Zhao Su’s presence that gave them a sense of crisis. Opposing the presence of female officials in the courtroom was just a pretext, for opposing her as a prospective empress and the female officials that might come in the future!
To be honest, although it is towards the road of equalization of power forward, but Zhao Su really did not want to move the knife from the court official position, she knew that to divide the Yamen dignitary position is really too difficult, is tantamount to the tiger’s mouth to take food ah! At the moment she is just a court official with the court in charge of the case of female officials of the same level of small officials only, not yet with them in conflict, has been raised into such!
She also can not wait, sent flowers want to Rong: “You go into the palace to probe the news.”
“Good le!”
Flowers want to go, Zhao Su also went back to the room.
Seeing the dossier on the case, she frowned and picked up to look through it carefully.
Back and forth read three or four times, and ate two tea work, flowers want to Rong came back: “The imperial historians let the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice to set out the paperwork, reprimanded away.”
This result is not unexpected. This point of matter the emperor is bound to be able to solve. But Zhao Su has something else: “Go to the palace and ask the emperor when he will be done. I’m going to Tongzhou, if he’s free, he can stop by and eat fish.”
Flower want Rong said: “Girl want to go to Tongzhou?”
“Uh-huh. I want to go by myself.”
Originally, Zhao Su didn’t intend to go by herself, there were people in the government office, and Fang Qingxue was the governor, so there was no need for her to cross the line. However, the royal officials made such a mess, but that little bit of unconvincing energy in her bones was stirred up. They spared no effort in destroying the Flower Moon Society, what reason did she have not to make every effort to kill their power?
People like Sun Xiulan mother and daughter, is ready to unite the force, if you do not want to find a way to solve the problem of cohesion them, re-finding others is not more difficult?
…… flowers want to Rong once again into the palace, find the four happy to ask him to pass the word, the emperor soon returned the word, explaining that the next morning after the court can go out of the city.
Zhao Su has a letter of approval, also told Fang Qingxue, and then back to the house for a while, to the next day, will be in the city gates waiting for the emperor.
The north city gate is not as crowded as the south city gate, listen to the gossip is also much less, but better than not so noisy, most can listen to a careful.
Recently, these things, Zhao Su only focus on the palace and on the court, in the time she did not notice, the big families in the house early she popped the Empress of the big cold things to talk about the sky. There are many people who are not interested in entering the palace, but this time they are not convinced to come, after all, if we had known that the Marquis of Qingyun’s Zhao Su can be the Empress, than she is ten times stronger than a hundred times their young ladies, is not even more capable of doing so?
Zhao Su waited for the emperor’s carriage, all the way to Tongzhou, this side, to Luo Rui marriage matchmaker also stepped into the threshold of the Luo family.
In the front hall, Mrs. Luo took the matchmaker’s invitation, nodded and said, “This is an excellent match.” And asked Mrs. Luo: “What do you think?”
Mrs. Luo obediently said: “Mother loves Rui’er the most, his marriage, by you and father to handle, daughter-in-law can’t be more relieved.”
Old Lady Luo nodded with a smile, then said with the matchmaker: “In that case, we will also ask someone to marry, and will write back to Mrs. Li in a few days.”
Here said settled, Mrs. Luo on behalf of the send-off, turned back to the room, Luo Tingru followed up: “Mother, big brother’s marriage has been discussed?”
Mrs. Luo’s face had a chilling expression, “I don’t know.”
“You are the mother, how could you not know?” Luo Tingru was the youngest in line and the most lively, a very different nature from the dignified and introverted Luo Yanru. In front of Luo Fu, she was also the most intimate.
“I would like to know why?” Mrs. Luo coldly related, “Since ancient times, marriage matters can’t go beyond the parents, but in my case, my own mother’s opinion is the least important.” Here she turned to Luo Tingru: “You’ve been in the capital for so long, do you have a favorite son?”
Luo Tingru pouted: “I’m still small, big brother got married to sister, sister got married to me.”
“That being said, it’s not impossible for Yue Yi.” Mrs. Luo said, “I heard that at the end of the year, King Qin and King Duan will come to the capital to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday, you have seen King Duan when you were a child, and our family is still a little bit of affinity with the King, do you still have an impression of him?”
Single shift.
