Transmigrated into the daughter of the prime minister, and thrived in space

The teacher giving the lecture today is Mu Jin'an, the Censor of the Ministry of Justice.

He was a successful imperial examination candidate, born in a humble family. He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his widowed mother alone. He was upright and dedicated himself to redressing grievances and administering law.

A year ago, he was noticed by the emperor and appointed as the Censor of the Ministry of Justice for his brilliant deduction and judgment on a suspicious case in front of him.

"Han Feizi said, 'A country is not always strong, nor is it always weak. If those who abide by the law are strong, the country will be strong; if those who abide by the law are weak, the country will be weak.' Laws have been very important to all dynasties. The laws of Daxin are mainly composed of official laws and local customs and laws. The most representative ones are "Laws" and "Decrees"..." Mu Jinan said slowly.

Everyone nodded frequently.

He continued, "How do you understand the law? Feel free to speak your mind."

"…Laws are used by kings to rule the people. Therefore, laws are the laws of the people, not the laws of the king…" The prince spoke with certainty.

"If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. How can this be a law that only applies to the people?" Mu Qingyang said aloud, finding it hard to agree.

Dai Zihan stood up timidly, his voice weak: "The effectiveness of the law... lies in the severity of the punishment... and the swiftness of its enforcement."

Qi Tianyi coughed twice, a hint of melancholy leaked out from his brows, and he said softly: "The law punishes the evil and perverseness of human beings, but the law itself is pure and spotless."

Mu Jinan's eyes suddenly lit up and her gaze stayed on him for a while.

What is the famous quote from Montesquieu, the French Enlightenment thinker and jurist in the 18th century?

Yu Xiaoqiao was startled, she looked up at him deeply, and her doubts grew even more.

"Feng Zisu, can you tell me something?"

People have gotten used to it and no longer make loud jokes, but they still give him disdainful looks.

"The law must... be implemented... and effective... by everyone, from the royal family to the common people and peddlers, without exception!" Feng Zisu stood up, her voice still hoarse but calm.

Mu Jinan smiled and nodded, praising him: "Well said, the truth is simple, but it is true knowledge!"

This was his first time teaching today, and the first time he heard Feng Zisu's hoarse words. He was not surprised at all, nor did he show any disdain. He didn't even need to hide or adjust any emotions. There was only sincere appreciation in his eyes.

Feng Zisu sat down calmly.

"Yu Xiaoqiao, I heard about your two famous poems in Kyoto before, but I didn't expect you to be so young! What do you think?"

Yu Xiaoqiao stood up, thinking that it couldn't be too advanced, but also couldn't be without highlights. After thinking for a moment, he said slowly.

"At present, the laws of various countries are mainly based on punishment, and all laws are unified. The main punishment is supplemented by etiquette. The hierarchy is set up, with extra-legal privileges. It is basically a system, but it needs to be more systematic. For the people, the law is the revealed morality, and there is no order without rules. For the country, the law is the public tool of the country, and order is the foundation of everything. In history, the law is an eternal pursuit and an unremitting exploration of mankind for fairness, justice and eternal truth."

Everyone's eyes were on Yu Xiaoqiao. It was surprising that such a young girl was so familiar with the law and so knowledgeable.

Li Lingji was uneasy, her eyes were empty, a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, and she said to herself: "Law, can you clear the way for love?!"

Yu Chuwan didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help but say "Ah" in doubt, and asked curiously: "What?"

Li Lingji smiled faintly, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.

Yu Xiaoqiao inadvertently met Qi Tianyi's gaze.

One is meaningful, the other is full of doubt.

Si Wenming looked intently and smiled slightly.

There was more tenderness in Li Lingyan's eyes than before.

The light near noon shone through the window onto Ye Qingyuan's face. He was chewing licorice in his mouth, and a cold arc like a knife edge passed through the corner of his mouth. His eyes lazily swept across Yu Xiaoqiao, and his expression revealed contempt and arrogance as if he regarded all living beings as ants.

After the afternoon class, Li Lingyan invited Yu Xiaoqiao to a tea room in a side hall outside Qingzhai.

On weekdays, few people come here.

"I have absolutely no romantic feelings for Chu Wan... please don't misunderstand me." Li Lingyan grasped the robe at the side of his hand, and was unusually tongue-tied.

Yu Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea and was in a good mood. "The Queen sent someone to tell me. It doesn't matter if I misunderstood or not. But I think you two are a good match."

"Hurry up..." Li Lingyan tightened his grip on the teacup, then gulped it down like he was drinking wine, and shouted, "Don't mess around with other people!"

Yu Xiaoqiao was confused and said hurriedly, "No, no, no! What's the hurry?"

"My mother said you don't want to get married?" Li Lingyan stole a glance at Yu Xiaoqiao, turned and walked to the window, looked at the sky covered in silver outside, clenched his hands tightly, and asked casually.

But I was extremely worried!

Yu Xiaoqiao choked out a "hmm" and also looked out the window, her eyes flashing with confusion and melancholy that did not belong to her age.

The uneasiness on Li Lingyan's lips instantly blossomed into brilliant flowers, blooming all over the silver sky!

Li Lingyan walked out of the house with brisk steps, not as heavy as before he came in. The moment he stepped out of the door, he turned around and smiled, "On the day off, I'll take you to play snowballs!"

Without waiting for Yu Xiaoqiao to answer, he ran away.

Yu Xiaoqiao felt somewhat puzzled and somewhat uneasy.

She came out of the side hall and saw Yu Chuwan and Li Lingji walking in the garden.

"What's wrong with you recently? Since you came back from Linshan Villa, I always felt that you were in a daze, different from before." Yu Chuwan looked worried and asked with concern.

Li Lingji shook her head slightly, sighed, and said nothing.

Yu Chuwan took her hand and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. If you want to say it, I'm always here to listen. Don't make it hard on yourself."

Li Lingji nodded, her eyes flashing with thousands of words, but she didn't say a word.

In the evening, I received a letter from Yu Xiaomo.

Yu Xiaoqiao looked at the still childish handwriting and couldn't help but smile.

Yu Xiaomo and seven other people went to Haojing and nearby cities and purchased hundreds of kilograms of cotton.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

There was a knock on the door.

Yu Xiaoqiao hurried to open the door and saw Feng Zisu standing at the door with a box in her hand and a smile on her face.

"This is a special tonic from Northern Frontier... take it well." Feng Zisu said as she walked in and put the things on the table.

Yu Xiaoqiao's eyebrows curved into crescents and she smiled, "Thank you! I'm welcome!"

Feng Zisu took Yu Xiaoqiao's hand, felt her pulse, and said softly after a while, "Recovery... not bad!"

This was the first time they met and talked in private since their last reunion at the palace banquet.

The two chatted for a long time, with laughter coming from time to time.

It turned out that after Feng Zisu returned to Northern Frontier, she found out that her mother was actually the princess consort of the King of Wings of Northern Frontier.

King Yi is the younger brother of the former Witch King of Northern Frontier, and he recognized her by the Qiankun Pendant.

Seventeen years ago, in a great border war, the former Witch King was killed and King Wing became the new King of the Northern Frontier.

After Feng Zisu left, Yu Xiaoqiao planned to wash up and go to bed.

Suddenly, another dart flew. Yu Xiaoqiao opened the note and found that the content was exactly the same as the note from a few days ago - come to Anfang immediately, Chu Wan is in danger!

Yu Xiaoqiao wondered who wrote the note and what was the purpose?

When I asked Wan'er about what happened that night in detail, she just said that she was groggy and fell asleep early that night and nothing happened.

The strange thing is that I slept with my clothes on!
