Madam, please give me some advice

Chapter 444: Law Changes?

The next day, they were carried into the palace with their wounds intact. The empress had received the news of their beatings long beforehand, and when she went to court, she even asked the palace servants to put some rouge and powder on her face to hide her haggard look.

The Queen strictly kept the news of her injury a secret and did not allow anyone else to talk about it.

He showed genuine concern and care to the wounded, which moved them deeply.

The daughters don't cry easily, but at this moment their eyes were full of tears. They felt cared for and brainwashed themselves, thinking that the beating was worth it.

Ignoring the looks from other officials, he complained to the empress, and finally took the opportunity to bring up the article, saying that the original article was still the best.

If you want your country to be prosperous, you should be kind to others. Hitting others is not acceptable and impolite. They are also children of their parents, with flesh and blood.

In order to make the country develop better, we should improve our personal qualities and treat every citizen seriously. Both men and women should be respected.

Hitting someone is wrong. If you hit someone maliciously, you should pay the price. If you harass or molest someone maliciously, you should pay the price too...

All of them agreed with the original article and its content, which made the filial and neutral officials confused.

What happened? Weren't they so proud and arrogant yesterday because they had the Queen's support? Why, after one night, not only were they covered in bruises, but they all wanted to go back to the original article?

This puzzled them. Could it be that their injuries were caused by the person behind the scenes? But who was so bold as to hit an official appointed by the imperial court?

Even after a whole morning, I only heard them suggest using the original article, but I didn't see them complain. This is too weird and not like their style!

They even felt that the Queen's condolences were full of hypocrisy and unreality. What happened that night? They were really curious.

However, no matter how these officials speculated and wondered, the empress and the officials who were beaten did not give any explanation or ask any questions.

I happily used the original article, and the ranking remained unchanged.

......

The third princess woke up from a hangover and received this news. She was almost shocked. What was going on?

The attackers were too strong, weren't they? Not to mention that they were appointed officials by the imperial court, they should have had a lot of guards at home, right?

Moreover, how could someone beat up so many people in one night without being discovered? Isn't this too amazing?

The third princess was puzzled. Could it be someone Ji Xingle knew? When she thought of this, she decided to find time to go find Ji Xingle and ask him...

These days, there are all kinds of rumors about officials being beaten. Some say they plagiarized other people's articles, and some say they were beaten because others failed to bribe them.

Others said that they took the money but did not do the job, which caused the people to talk about it. The empress was afraid that someone would notice something, so she clarified the matter to the officials who were beaten.

It was said that she pulled everyone to do some fitness and boxing. Because it was her first time and she had no experience, she used too much force. I hope everyone will not misunderstand these dedicated officials...

The reason was explained. No matter if anyone believed it or not, no one dared to spread the word. Soon the day of the results announcement arrived. The inns throughout the capital were beating gongs and setting off firecrackers. The sound of good news could be heard continuously.

The children followed the messenger and ran from East Street to West Street, West Street to South Street, South Street to North Street...

Especially when they arrived at Ji Xingle's house, two large boxes of copper coins were placed in front of the servants at the door. Seeing the official come to announce the good news, the people also followed suit to congratulate.

After Ji Xingle thanked everyone one by one, he gave the official money for tea and winked at the servants.

Seeing this, the servants grabbed handfuls of copper coins and threw them into the crowd, and the huge crowd of people scrambled for them with great pleasure.

After the official announced the good news, he put the tea money into his sleeve with a smile. When he turned around and left, he saw the people at the door grabbing copper coins. For a moment, they also wanted to join in...

It took about an hour to grab all the copper coins. After a while, the people came over with their children, asking Ji Xingle to pat their heads and get some of the top scholar's aura.

I hope their children can also have good knowledge in the future...

While everyone was celebrating, many students and common people saw Ji Xingle's essay and most of them frowned, saying they didn't understand why such an essay could get first place.

Articles should be useful to the country and should focus on national interests instead of spending energy on such trivial matters as men.

Some people also agree with Ji Xingle's article. In troubled times, there must be a country before there can be a family. In peaceful times, there must be people before there can be a country.

Millions of families are part of the country, and the country is part of millions of families. The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Therefore, we should respect everyone who contributes to this country. A small number of people think the same as Ji Xingle, that people should not be beaten casually.

Some people said that they could accept not hitting strangers, but found it difficult to accept not hitting their own husbands. They even took it for granted that the value of their husbands was to have children and be beaten by them.

If you can't beat your husband, what's the point?

70% were against it, 10% supported it, and the remaining 20% ​​remained silent. They didn't beat their husbands every day anyway, so they felt there was no need to join in their quarrel.

Ji Xingle also heard these questions from his servants. They were very grateful to Ji Xingle for speaking up for the weak. Regardless of whether he would succeed in the end, they were very grateful.

She also told Ji Xingle not to take the people's words to heart, because she was the most powerful and they would always follow her...

Ji Xingle smiled and told them to relax. She knew that there would be many voices of opposition when the article was published, but she was not afraid. As for those who did not cooperate, she had plenty of ways to deal with them.

When the officials who were beaten heard the people's opposition, they became very anxious and sent their servants to explain the reasons.

They said that their interests were not violated, but that as people living in the same country, they should not be treated differently.

Moreover, they are important people because they are needed to give birth to and raise children. Without their production and dedication, where would people come from?

Without people, how can there be a home? Without a home, how can there be a country?

They even emphasize that if the pregnant husband is in a good mood, the baby will be healthy and smart...

Regardless of gender, there should be no discrimination, because everyone contributes to the family.

Those with less strength can do simple housework, and those with more strength can plow the fields. Women and men work together without feeling tired. This is the meaning of home.

After many people explained, the people in the capital gradually began to be less resistant to the boy. Although the effect was not obvious, they were at least frightened by the punishment Ji Xingle mentioned.

Beating, child abuse, fines, imprisonment, these issues were all dealt with by the Queen's decrees, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
