I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

When Zhao Tao was escorted into the dark and damp dungeon, she finally felt afraid.

The reason why she dared to make such a big fuss in the palace was because she felt that she was Zhao Li's cousin and Zhao Li would not dare to do anything to her no matter what?

As a result, when Ye Ze ordered her to be thrown into the dungeon, Zhao Li didn't even look at her. She no longer cared about the friendship between them.

So what should she do now?

She didn't want to live here. Not only was it dark and damp, but the air was also filled with a foul smell of decay that was disgusting.

Zhao Tao grabbed the wooden pillar on the prison door in panic and shouted outside: "I am the Queen's cousin, and my uncle is the Duke of Zhao! You can't lock me up here, I don't want to stay here, let me out...ah! There is a rat..."

Zhao Tao jumped three feet high and landed directly on the broken wooden table in the middle of the cell. The mouse also climbed up along the table legs, followed by the second one, the third one...

“Ah~~~~~” Zhao Tao’s screams resounded throughout the dungeon, “Someone come and let me out! Help~~~~”

A scene of rats chasing people was staged in the cell! Zhao Tao grabbed the straw on the ground and slapped the rats, trying to get them to leave quickly, but the rats were not afraid at all and even climbed on her and bit her through her clothes. Zhao Tao was about to collapse and could only jump and hop on the ground desperately...

After being tortured by a group of rats for a long time, the rats left only when the jailer came to bring Zhao Tao dinner at dinner time. The food in the prison was very bad, so they went to ask their eldest brother for delicious food!

That’s right, these mice were sent by the rat. If you dare to bully its owner, you must be prepared to bear its revenge!

In addition to dinner, the jailer also brought a bronze mirror on the tray.

That day at the south city market, Zhao Tao made such a big fuss but failed to get a bronze mirror, but got it in this way. It was simply a humiliation to her!

Looking at the soup in the bowl that looked like pot washing water and the black steamed bun, Zhao Tao was even more upset. Was this food for pigs? How could they give it to her?

She threw the tray to the ground. "Are you feeding this to pigs? I'm not eating this!"

The jailer said: "Eat it if you want or not!" Then he left. I have been locked up in the dungeon, and you dare to show me a bad attitude? Then just starve.

Zhao Tao squatted on the ground and cried out in grievance. She didn't want to eat pig food. Ye Ze just wanted to humiliate her on purpose. She was sincere to him, so how could he be so mean?

After crying for a long time, Zhao Tao touched her stomach which was growling with hunger, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the black steamed bun covered with dust on the ground. She had not even had a sip of water since she was summoned to the palace after eating in the morning. After entering the cell, she was bullied by a group of rats, and her stomach had been extremely hungry.

To eat, or not to eat?

Do not eat!

If she refused to eat, Zhao Li would definitely be soft-hearted when she found out, and she might let her go! Yes, she wouldn't eat, she had to endure it, she had to endure it!

Zhao Tao curled up on the wooden bed against the wall to rest. Her stomach made a rumbling sound from time to time. She couldn't fall asleep at all. She kept enduring the sound until the second half of the night. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. She groped her way over, picked up the black steamed bun on the ground and started to eat it.

She cried while eating. If she wasn't extremely hungry, she would not have been able to eat such a steamed bun.

Why did they treat her like this? What did she do wrong? She was supposed to be the queen, but now she can only eat pig food in this dungeon, wuwuwu...

After eating a steamed bun, Zhao Tao finally felt better and went back to her wooden bed to sleep.

The next day, before Zhao Tao woke up, the group of rats from yesterday came again...

Go up in the morning,

After finishing the business, Ye Ze told about what happened to Shen Wenren yesterday, and then said: "After becoming famous, he abandoned his wife and married a new lover. This behavior is really bad. However, the laws of the previous dynasty were biased towards men and unfair to women. I think that a few rules to protect women should be added to the laws of Qian Kingdom. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise. However, since ancient times, men have been able to divorce their wives and marry another woman based on the seven grounds of divorce. If we add a law prohibiting divorce, wouldn't that be a conflict with that?" Liu Jin stepped out and bowed.

Speaking of abandoning his wife, isn't he the same? In fact, he was even more cruel than Shen Wenren! He almost burned Meng's mother and son to death! He even sent assassins to chase them, causing her to be unable to return to her parents' home, and she could only become a beggar, and she almost starved to death in a broken house!

Ye Ze curled his lips and looked at him, almost forgetting about you, "Lord Liu, what you said makes sense, but I have made up my mind. I raised this matter to let you all work together to come up with an explanation, not to listen to you say how difficult this matter is!"

"I am deeply troubled and hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Liu Jin was startled and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

Ye Ze had no intention of letting him get up, and said in a cold voice: "I heard that Liu Aiqing also had many complaints about his virtuous wife at home, and even imprisoned her in the abandoned courtyard and favored his concubine. Is this true?"

Liu Jin shook his head subconsciously, "There is absolutely no such thing. Your Majesty, please investigate."

Why did you suddenly bring this up with me? If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have said anything. Oh! I really brought trouble upon myself!

In fact, if he had not received the emperor's praise for this imperial examination, he would not have dared to be so bold. He originally thought that the emperor would promote him because of this matter, but who knew that Shen Wenren's incident would happen...

"Absolutely not?" Ye Ze stared at Liu Jin expressionlessly, "You mean, I wronged you?"

Liu Jin: “…”

The emperor asked this question, and it would be wrong for him to answer "yes". It would be even more wrong to answer "no". How should he answer this?

Meng Lingshu stepped out at this time, "Your Majesty, if you want to know whether this is true or not, then just invite Madam Liu to the palace for a confrontation!"

Ye Ze nodded and told Fulu: "Go and invite them!"

"Yes." Fulu responded and immediately walked out of the hall.

Liu Jin quickly spoke up to stop him: "Eunuch Fu, wait a minute. Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for a woman to come to the palace. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

"In my court, I am the rule!" Ye Ze said in a deep voice: "Why? Lord Liu is afraid of confrontation?"

"I was wrong, I am guilty, please forgive me this time, Your Majesty..." Liu Jin knocked his head to the ground and refused to get up. He had a hunch that the emperor was going to take action against him this time. What he worried about happened. Instead of confronting Wen in the court, it would be better for him to confess his guilt directly, so that the emperor would give him a lighter sentence.

"Humph! How can I expect you to work for me when you can even use my first wife as a stepping stone?" Ye Ze snorted coldly. He even admitted his guilt on his own initiative. He was considered sensible. "Minister of Rites Liu Jinde is unworthy of his position. From today on, he will be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital! The position of Minister will be taken by the newly-appointed Jinshi Li Sixian."

After saying that, Ye Ze glanced at Meng Lingshu indifferently, believing that he knew what to do next.

Meng Lingshu cast a grateful look. He understood what Ye Ze meant. Expelling Liu Jin from the capital was giving him the opportunity to assassinate him.

Li Sixian was already feeling very fortunate to be able to stay in Beijing and work as a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites. He did not expect that his boss would commit suicide and he would directly take over his boss's position. This good thing that fell from the sky fell on his head, and Li Sixian quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Liu Jin slumped on the ground, allowing the guards to drag him out of the palace and throw him on the street like a dead dog.

With Liu Jin's example, who in the court would dare to go against Ye Ze?

Everyone racked their brains to think about the new law.
