Chapter 129 The target of public criticism
After the court meeting, in the royal study
"It's been a while since I received any paperwork from you. I never thought there would be several papers today!"

As Emperor Wenkang spoke, he picked up a few memorials and shook them at the Bai Shi Le below;

Eunuch Wan at the side immediately took the notebook and held it to Bai Shile with both hands.

"Look, see if what they say is true!"

Seeing Bai Shile standing still with a troubled expression on his face, Emperor Wen Kang, who was at the head, was eating some snacks, and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Bai Shile had no choice but to pick up the few memorials in front of him and look through them;

In fact, it is just two or three lines at a glance, to get a general idea, and then to see the participants.

Emperor Kangdi had finished eating his snacks, and Bai Shile happened to finish watching them too, and Eunuch Wan submitted them to the imperial case.

"Do you have anything to say about what these guys played?"

After asking this question, Emperor Wen Kang stood up and got down from the first seat, standing two steps away from Bai Shile and looked at her with calm eyes, without any intention of questioning.

This reassured Bai Shile a lot, so he opened his mouth;
"Return to Your Majesty, what the adults said is indeed true, but not entirely true."

"Oh! Let me hear it!"

Bai Shile's words completely aroused Emperor Wen Kang's curiosity.

"Your Majesty must have read the case of Mrs. Liu's murder of her husband. The reason why I advocate a light sentence for Mrs. Liu is to demonstrate the strictness and fairness of legal principles."

"As the officer in charge of this case, the minister's actions are completely in accordance with the laws and regulations, and the case of Liu's murder of her husband has had a great impact, but the vigilance and lessons given to us are even more worthy of deep consideration..."

When Bai Shile said this, seeing that Wen Kangdi was listening seriously, she continued without haste;
"This case, from the very beginning, made me feel unfair and unfair. In this world that is extremely strict with women, Mrs. Liu is filial to her parents-in-law, keeps filial piety for the two elders, and treats the idle, incapable and responsible husband with care. The relationship between the neighbors and the township party is excellent. It can be said that she is a model among women and the epitome of all women like her. However, such a virtuous and hardworking woman not only did not get the treatment she deserved, but was beaten and angry every day. Scolding, even imposing her husband's infertility on her head, and using it to humiliate and rape her, I really can't imagine how this woman survived all these years!"

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, and put yourself in the shoes of the minister. If you were a husband like Liu Shi, Ma Si, who has no merit at all, but is cruel and ruthless, I would have sent him to see the King of Hades a long time ago. How could he be allowed to torture you for so many years?" ?”

"Mr. Liu is certainly guilty of killing her husband, but if we really talk about the priority and severity, this Masi is the chief culprit. The mistakes he made cost him his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is unhappy with the retribution!"

"In this case, the minister still advocates a light sentence. This matter is not about the favoritism and perversion of the law played by several adults, but the minister feels that the law is greater than emotion, but it must not be ruthless. If legal principles are just a cold restraint tool, how can the people feel justice? , how can you feel His Majesty's sageness?"

Although a little uneasy in her heart, Bai Shile still spoke out her true thoughts without haste, and patted the Emperor's flattery by the way.

"Fa is greater than love, but you can't be ruthless!"

After carefully listening to Bai Shile's narration, Wen Kangdi repeated these words thoughtfully.

"This sentence has a very deep meaning. I didn't expect Wu Sheng to have such a delicate thought!"

Emperor Wen Kang stared at Bai Shile in surprise.

Bai Shile! !

She is hiding her secrets, what is this?
"Returning to Your Majesty, if it was before, I might not have understood the profound meaning..."

"Why do I have this experience now?"

Bai Shile was halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by Wen Kangdi's questioning, and he looked like he was waiting to see a joke.

Bai Shile! !

What's the matter with this emperor who deserves a beating?
"Going home every day, looking at the busy figure of my wife, the delicious meals, and the neatly tidy house, and thinking that she will give birth to children for my ministers in the future, and my companions will grow old forever, I always feel so strange." I am lucky enough to be able to marry her, so I can't understand those people who beat and scold their wives at will, so I don't realize that I have such a feeling!"

Bai Shile, who opened his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth, saw Emperor Wen Kang lost in deep thought after speaking, obviously thinking of something.

In an instant, Bai Shile breathed out secretly, thinking;

Delicious meals, tidy home?
Sorry, it's all due to the maid!
As for having children and growing old, that's all nonsense and can't be taken seriously!

Let Zhao Yun take the burden of his 'virtuous' reputation first!
In short, without any effort, she praised herself again, and seemed to have moved the emperor!

Great!

"What Wu Sheng said is absolutely true!"

Emperor Wen Kang, who had been meditating for a long time, came back to stare at Bai Shile and said.

Seeing his approving expression and soft eyes, Bai Shile knew that this matter had turned around, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's His Majesty's trust and sageness that made me have the courage to think this way. After all, it's all because of Your Majesty!"

"I believe that the most direct way to judge whether a place or even a country is strong is to see whether the women here are valued."

It was a bit bold to say this, after Bai Shile finished speaking, seeing that Emperor Wen Kang listened seriously, she continued;
"Although women are weak, they are inseparable from everything in life, from cleaning and cooking, to sewing and mending, to giving birth and multiplying, and silently contributing to the prosperity of the country, but the care they receive is far less than what they receive Paying two out of one hundred, this is a huge injustice in the eyes of the minister."

At the risk of angering the emperor, Bai Shile spoke out for the women here, hoping to reduce tragedies and improve the status and treatment of women.

Of course, Bai Shile knew very well in her heart that this matter had a long way to go, and she couldn't change it easily with a word or two!

"You are the first person to say this to me!"

"But as you said, women have been here for thousands of years, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. How easy is it to change?"

Emperor Wenkang looked thoughtful, knowing that this matter was extremely difficult, so he stared at Bai Shile and sighed.

"Because it has lasted for thousands of years, it is necessary to break it and establish a new rule. Your Majesty can be No. 1 for thousands of years!"

Bai Shile continued to encourage without giving up;

The three words 'No.1' suddenly made Emperor Wen Kang's eyes light up, with an inexplicable longing.

"This matter is actually not difficult. As long as His Majesty makes a decree that those who beat their wives will be punished, or even imprisoned, this matter will be effective. As for the others, we can follow up gradually."

Bai Shile is not stupid, there is no mention of the law here.

If those who oppose her know that she proposes to amend the law, maybe something will happen!

Furthermore, amending the law is not a simple matter. When Emperor Wen Kang understands it, it will naturally be put on the agenda, and Bai Shile does not want to be the target of public criticism.
