396: The royal aunt is different from what she looks like.

Nan Li was moved.

In this era, men are the beneficiaries. How many people can think about women from the bottom of their hearts and strive for some benefits for them.

She read the suggestions and regulations to be improved written by Chu Huan. They were more thoughtful and detailed than she thought, and she could submit them directly.

Nan Li's expression lit up and she said, "Third brother, you wrote so well. There are some aspects that even I didn't expect."

Not only does it make women feel more relaxed during reconciliation, but it also provides some suggestions on child custody. It was not easy for the ancients to have such an idea.

Chu Huan smiled sheepishly and said, "I discussed and discussed with several colleagues. The things we decided on are not due to me alone."

Nan Li raised her eyebrows, thinking that a man who could respect women must have good character, and he must also be a good official. The prince was also blind, and there were so many available talents in the court, but he didn't know how to recruit them.

She said: "That being the case, it would be better to choose a day and hit it. The third brother will call your colleagues and go to the palace to meet the saint."

Chu Huan was startled and said subconsciously: "Sixth sister, this is against the rules. If you want to amend the law, you must first submit the document to the Ministry of Punishment. After review by the Ministry of Punishment, it will be submitted to the cabinet and the emperor for approval. We cannot break the rules."

The process of amending the law was so complicated that it took a year and a half.

If they go directly to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, even though it is straightforward, they will still be criticized by others, and they may be ostracized in the future in the DPRK.

Nan Li saw Chu Huan's worries and hesitations, and said, "I know the third brother's worries, but if this report is submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, it will definitely sink in the sea and will not be submitted to the cabinet."

It was possible to enact such a strict law in the first place to embarrass women. How could men change it so easily when men benefit from it?

This is not to say that Emperor Mu Wu was not a wise king, but a man in a high position rarely understood the difficulties of ordinary people.

Nan Li also came into contact with Ming Ying this time, and realized that it was so difficult for the woman to reconcile.

She is also a woman, and since she has this ability, she definitely wants to change this situation.

Chu Huan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Nan Li was not in a hurry and let Chu Huan think about it slowly.

If Chu Huan and the others are not willing to come forward, then she can enter the palace on her own.

After all, this is a thankless task and will offend many people.

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and when he looked up, his eyes were clear and determined, "I will follow the sixth sister into the palace, but for the others, I have to invite them over first and ask them what they think."

Nan Li nodded: "It should be."

Then, Chu Huan asked his servants to take the post to invite people.

The people who came were all small officials of the same age as Chu Huan. They probably felt sympathy for each other. Among them were children from aristocratic families and some from poor families. All of them had straight backs and high spirits, and there was no trace of extravagance or dandyism about them.

The national fortunes of the country of Mu are not bad, but these people are indispensable to support it.

It's just that they are still very weak now. If they grow up over time, they will be infinitely powerful.

After hearing what Chu Huan said, the few people looked at each other and said, "This is great. With the Ninth Princess clearing the way for us, we will save time and be more likely to succeed!"

No one showed any timidity.

Maybe this time it was just a waste of time and effort, but things are often like this. If you work hard, you still have a chance to succeed, but if you don't work hard, even this chance is gone.

Without further ado, several people entered the palace together.

In late autumn, Emperor Mu Wu felt less tired, and since Yesi Heng was not in the capital, he was not as completely indifferent to government affairs as before.

Occasionally, he would take a look at some important news and discuss it with Prime Minister Lu and other important ministers.

Inside Qianlong Hall.

Hearing that Nan Li was waiting outside the palace, Emperor Mu Wu couldn't care about political affairs and hurriedly announced her entry into the palace.

He has no control over Prime Minister Ye, Prime Minister Lu and others.

If someone else came to disturb him, Prime Minister Lu might still show off his expression, but when he heard that it was the Ninth Princess, he smiled kindly.

As the prime minister of a country, he already had a lot of political affairs to deal with, but the ninth princess was much busier than him, painting talismans, refining medicine, and catching ghosts, and she kept up with everything.

Her own daughter often complained in front of her that it was more difficult to meet the Ninth Princess than to meet the emperor.

Emperor Muwu squinted his eyes slightly and saw that Nan Li was dressed plainly, with nothing luxurious on her body, and his irritable mood could not help but relax.

Nan Li only had to kneel down and salute, while Chu Huan and others knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Muwu knew that Nan Li would not enter the palace if there was nothing important. Qingyang came to the palace to report what Chao Sheng had done in the past two days, but she did not come in person.

He then asked: "Sixth girl, what's the important thing for you to come to the palace today?"

Nan Li stopped beating around the bush and directly presented the document and said: "Mu's laws on reconciliation are extremely harsh for women. I would like to ask the emperor to amend the laws so that women can be treated fairly and justly."

Emperor Mu Wu thought it was something important, but suddenly he heard that the law was going to be revised, which made him unable to react for a while.

"Can I have a look at this?" Prime Minister Lu asked.

Nan Li nodded.

Prime Minister Lu went over to pick up the folder, opened it and looked at it. His face was unrecognizable for a moment.

He was also a man. After letting Emperor Mu Wu take a look, he asked Ye Chengyan to take a closer look.

Emperor Muwu pondered for a moment and said: "You are right, that law is indeed a bit harsh for women. What you wrote in this book..."

He looked at Chu Huan and others: "Did you discuss it together and write it down?"

As the leader, Chu Huan bowed and said, "Yes."

Ye Chengyan immediately grasped the key point. It seemed that this was not what the imperial aunt meant, but that she wanted to pave a bright future for her brother.

His thoughts were running around, and he couldn't help but feel that the emperor's aunt was also different from what she seemed.

Although he now knew that the emperor's uncle had no intention of coveting the throne, as long as he behaved and did not make any mistakes, the throne would only be his.

But the emperor's aunt promoted his brother, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion would become too powerful in the future. How would he suppress it?

After all, he does not have that kind of relationship with the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of this, he said: "The law is harsh and unfair to women, so a new law should be revised and enacted. But the new laws and regulations written in this document are really too big of a change. Once promulgated, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of repercussions and cause turmoil in both the court and the people."

Emperor Mu Wu nodded slightly. As a man and a high-ranking person, he naturally would not easily empathize with women.

"The Crown Prince is right. It can be revised, but not in a hurry or in a big way." Emperor Mu Wu said, "Sixth girl, I will let the Ministry of Punishment consider this matter carefully. Don't worry."

Chu Huan knew that it would not be that easy, and his expression darkened.
