Happy Little Scholar

"Pardon the princess?"

Emperor Jing looked at the ministers below, his eyes slightly fixed, and said: "Although Mingzhu is the princess, she committed a crime in the Golden Palace. If she is not severely punished, it may not be enough to appease the people's hearts!"

The censor who was pushed out by the Censorate as a representative felt bitter in his heart. His Majesty was slapping them in the face with their previous words, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and said: "All officials saw what happened that day with their own eyes. It was Han Daru who was wrong first. As a minister, how can you be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess? Her Royal Highness is devoted to the country and impulsive at the moment, which is understandable..., not to mention that His Majesty has already punished the princess with house arrest. I think that if the princess is severely punished for this, it will chill the hearts of those ministers who are wholeheartedly serving the country!"

The words of Censor Lin once again attracted the echo of countless officials.

This incident was really beyond their expectations. If it was someone else, they would have lost their heads long ago. But the princess was the princess after all. Even if she really killed Han Daru, let alone just cutting off a strand of hair, no one would think that she would pay with her life. At most, she would be stripped of her title. With His Majesty's love for her, he would probably find a reason to restore it soon.

But no matter what, the attitude must be established. If even the murder in the Golden Palace can be covered up so lightly, what is the use of the law?

However, who could have expected that the public opinion was almost one-sided. If it was just the public, it would be fine. Even the daughters of wealthy families and the women of officials had a strong reaction to this.

Joining together to make a petition to ask His Majesty to pardon Her Royal Highness is only one of the reasons. Some daughters of famous families have even established an organization called the "Women's Federation". This "Women's Federation" is different from poetry clubs and lyrics clubs. It aims to solve difficulties for women. In recent days, it has vigorously promoted the issue of late marriage and late childbearing in Kyoto. To some extent, it has saved the court a lot of effort.

Although Her Royal Highness is still under house arrest in the palace, she is the first "president" jointly elected by them. In recent days, she has been walking around for the affairs of the eldest princess, which has caused headaches for even the officials.

All of these women have deep backgrounds. The royal family and several other big families, generals, several princesses, and even the families of several ministers in the court have participated. This force is no longer easy to shake.

"Since all the ministers say so..." Emperor Jing showed a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Changde, go to the Morning Dew Hall..."

...

...

"Come out so soon?"

Li Yi looked at the princess standing in the yard in surprise. It seemed that the adults in the court were more impatient than he thought...

"Women's Federation?" Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Is it your work?"

"What Women's Federation?" Li Yi looked back at Li Xuan and asked, "Did you do it?"

Li Xuan shook his head. He did do a lot of things in the past few days, including instigating the Wang family and several large clans and generals to unite to put pressure on the court officials, but this "Women's Federation" really had nothing to do with him.

"It's a new organization established by some women from powerful families in Beijing. They said they want to unite and do something for women. They nominated me to be the first president. I'm considering it..." When Li Mingzhu hesitated, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "What else is there to consider? You don't even know what kind of status you have in the hearts of women in Kyoto. No one is more suitable for this position than you."

The chairman of the Women's Federation, the patron saint of women in Kyoto and even Panorama Country, the kind with a halo on her head, if she does more practical things for women, then when the time comes, half the sky will fall to her side.

If she really wants to launch a vigorous women's rights movement, it is of course impossible now. The concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deeply rooted and not so easy to change. In fact, even those women themselves, inspired by that unpredictable anonymous person, probably only have some vague thoughts in their hearts, which are hard to grasp.

The establishment of the Women's Federation is such a product. They are still unclear about the direction. They only know that doing this may change something a little. They didn't dare to think about it before, and never thought about it. Now Her Royal Highness has stepped forward and led them to take a big step forward. Maybe they can take a few more steps in the future...

"It really has nothing to do with you?" Li Mingzhu looked at Li Yi with a face full of doubt.

"I swear, it's definitely not me." Li Yi raised four fingers and sweared to the sky, "If this matter really has anything to do with me, let me, let me..."

As he spoke, he looked at Her Royal Highness.

After a long time, he put down his sore arm, looked at Li Mingzhu and asked, "Why didn't you stop me?"

This routine is definitely wrong. It stands to reason that when he was about to swear, Her Royal Highness shouldn't quickly cover his mouth and say with a touching face, "Enough, I don't want you to swear, I believe you..."

"Go ahead, I'm listening." Her Royal Highness folded her arms and looked at him and said.

"-----"

"It's boring..." Li Yi shook his head, stood up, and walked to the indoor playground on the side.

"Hey, hey, Li Bingning, why don't you just sit there and play on the slide? Come down..."

Li Mingzhu took her eyes off Li Yi's back and looked at Li Xuan. Li Xuan spread his hands and said, "It's definitely not me, but if you ask me, there's no harm in you being the president. At least it will be more convenient for you to do anything in the future..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Mingzhu finally nodded.

"Hey, Capt. Zhao, why don't we let you sing if you don't want to sing? The tickets have been sold, so the guests will have opinions!" In the hook bar, Old Man Sun looked at an official dressed in embarrassment. The man said.

"Hey, Mr. Sun, this is what the above said, and we are also following orders." The official named Zhao sighed and said: "The court is already looking for the person named "Wu". You said you, you don't want to think about it. Can we sing this kind of play at this time?"

Old Man Sun's expression changed and he said: "Captain Zhao, we don't know this either, he, the court won't allow it! Besides, we also bought it from someone else..."

"I know, I know. You are the most conscientious among all the Goulan people in Kyoto. You never spread rumors. It was you who helped vindicate Ma Zhongcheng's case last time. Even the Yushitai praised you very much. You are the most conscientious person in the west of the city. The restaurant where this kind of opera was first performed has been closed down. Mr. Liu specially asked me not to embarrass you. "

Capt. Zhao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun. I don't blame you for this. If you do, blame the guy named "Wu". I'm here to tell you, "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion" especially "Peacock Flies Southeast", don't sing it again."

"I understand, I understand..." Old Man Sun nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll take the brothers to see other places..." Capt. Zhao waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the hook fence.

"This is great, why aren't you allowed to sing..." Old Man Sun shook his head with great pity, "The tile shop in the west of the city has been closed down, and you can just buy it... Forget it, let's talk about this later. Then it’s time to start arranging "Mulan"..."
