Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1061

"Adan, work harder."

"Yiguang, help me pick out my ears..."

Qingji happily enjoyed the special service given to him by Xishi and Zheng Dan.

I have to admit that Qingji still prefers the second daughter as always.

It can be said that Qingji watched Xi Shi and Zheng Dan grow up. Their little Qingji is nearly 20 years old, and this year in their forties, they have become beautiful women like peaches, full of charm.

Qingji's preference is nothing more than plump women, and Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are just in line with Qingji's taste now...

Now Qingji, while admiring the style of exotic dancers, let Xi Shi and Zheng Dan give him special services. This feeling is so refreshing that it can't be understood by outsiders.

However, this leisurely time of Qingji was ruined by an unexpected guest.

CRRC Mansion Commander Wu Gao tiptoed into the Funing Palace and told Qingji, "Your Majesty, someone has sounded the Dengwen Drum."

"Dengwen drum?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized.

If Wu Gao hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Decades ago, in order to show that he is an open-minded Mingjun, Qingji also played a supervisory role in the courtiers and officials in order to spread the word, so he set up the Dengwen Drum, so that the people of the country can directly sue the imperial court.

There are road drums at the county and county levels.

If there are some matters that cannot be resolved by the county magistrate or the county guard, they can be reported to the court for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment or the doctor Yushi to resolve.

If there is something that cannot be resolved by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the doctor Yushi, the Chinese can directly file an imperial complaint in front of Qingji by beating the Dengwen Drum.

"Wu Law" stipulates that once the people of the country beat the Lugu and Dengwengu, the officials and the emperor must accept it, and they must not neglect it.

This is similar to the alarm of later generations.

Of course, if you report a false alarm, you will end up miserable.

In light cases, they will be fined by a board, and in severe cases, they will be sent to the frontier.

For example, the Dengwen Drum at the entrance of the Jinling Palace, Qingji has never been played by Chinese people all year round, almost covered with cobwebs and dust...

The world is peaceful, that is the best thing.

The function of the Dengwen drum is to make those who are wronged or urgent to beat the drum to hear the news, so as to establish a lawsuit.

If there were any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases that had to be brought to Qingji's court, why did Qingji need so many courtiers and officials?

Therefore, if there is no major national event, no one will risk their lives to beat the Dengwen drum.

After all, this will offend many people at once.

"Let people in."

"promise."

Wu Gao retreated immediately.

And Qing Ji was disturbed, although he was unhappy, he was also in high spirits.

After all, it was the first time the Dengwen Drum had been sounded for so many years.

Could it be that there are corrupt officials in some place, and the ministers of the local government and the court can't deal with it, so that the people of the country have to appeal to Qingji to redress their grievances?
After a while, a twenty-eight-year-old girl with excellent looks slowly entered the Palace of Funing.

"Minister Yang Ying, see His Majesty the First Emperor, Your Majesty Wannian!"

After seeing Qingji, the girl named "Yang Ying" knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Qingji.

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did Yang Ying stand up slowly.

Qing Ji looked at Yang Ying who was under Majesty's platform with great interest.

This woman's eyes are bright and gazing, her skin is creamy, and she has a bookish look all over her body.

Wearing a water-blue dress and exquisite clothing, he is obviously of noble origin.

"Girl, your surname is Yang? Which Yang (sheep) is it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the great-grandfather of Minnv is Shu Xiang."

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him differently.

It turned out to be a descendant of Shu Xiang.

After the famous minister!

What you need to know is that both the Yang family and the Yang family came from the Yang Tong family of the Duke of Jin.

Shuxiang is the surname of Ji, the family name of Yangtong, the first name is 肸, and the word is Shuxiang, also known as "Yangtong 肸".

He has served as Jin Gong Gong, Ping Gong, and Zhao Gong three generations. He is Jin Ping Gong Fu and Shang Dafu. Shu Xiang, Yan Ying, and Zi Chan are contemporaries. at time.

The ancestor of the Yangtong family was the grandson Tu of Boqiao, the son of Duke Wu of Jin Dynasty. He was called "Doctor Yangtong" in the world because he ate the fief of Yangtong.

Shu Xiang, his elder brother Bo Hua, and his younger brothers Shu Yu and Shu Hu are collectively known as the Four Clans of Sheep Tongue...

Even decades later, Shu Xiang's reputation is still quite large.

And Shu Xiangyin was enfeoffed in Yang, and he took Yi as his family, not Yang's.

Therefore, the girl in front of Qingji is generally called "Yang Ying", not "Yang Ying."

This era has inherited the standards of the ancient times. Men are called by their surnames but not their surnames, and women are called by their surnames but not their surnames. As for ordinary people, they don't even have the most basic surnames.

"Miss Yangying, what do you want to tell me by beating the Dengwen drum?"

"Since you are of noble origin, you should understand the process of litigation, right?"

Qing Ji asked with great interest.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if a girl knows the procedure of the lawsuit, she must first report to the county magistrate, then to the county guard, then to the imperial censor or minister of punishment, and finally to her Majesty."

Yang Ying said slowly: "Of course, this time the girl is not here to sue the imperial court, but to discuss with His Majesty some important state affairs."

It's not a complaint, but a remonstrance?

This made Qing Ji squint his eyes involuntarily, thinking about it.

What a brave little girl!
Qingji has seen a lot of scholars who criticize current affairs in public, but Qingji has never seen anyone who dares to "spread nonsense" in front of Qingji, and even beats the Dengwen drum, and wants to distinguish state affairs from Qingji. Pass.

Isn't Yang Ying afraid of being beheaded?
"Say."

Qing Ji still wanted to hear Yang Ying's opinion more patiently, and did not despise her because she was a female class.

However, Yang Ying looked around and looked at Xishi, Zheng Dan, Parvati, and Geshefei who were sitting on the left and right of Qingji, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, since it is a national event, It’s better to avoid idlers and others.”

When Qingji heard this, he smiled and said, "Miss Yangying, I put the country's major affairs on the bright side, and it's not something that can't be seen. All my people in Great Wu can listen to the government!"

"Your Majesty is enlightened."

Yang Ying was very impressed.

Yang Ying was quite surprised that Qingji acted so frankly, and at the same time firmly believed that he would definitely gain something from this trip.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, the daughter of the people came here this time to plead for the people."

Yang Ying took a deep breath, then bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty will implement 12-year compulsory education throughout the country, and implement free education for all. The decree says that all people from our Great Wu can go to school. This is His Majesty's respect for the grace of the nation."

"Of course, there is something puzzling about the daughter of the people, please answer your majesty."

"please say."

"Does the government decree, 'Where I am a citizen of Great Wu' include women?"

"..."
