Chapter 267 An ordinary little girl

 The emperor suddenly became amused and said, "I think you are quite suitable."

 “I belong to a girl’s family and do not participate in government affairs.”

 “Who said that? There are still female officials in the court.”

 “What?” Du Wan was surprised.

 “I am saying that there are female officials in the court.”

“…” I’ve never heard of it, but there are actually female officials in the Qin Kingdom.

Du Wan sat on a chair aside, crossing his ankles, "Uncle, actually this is not difficult."

 “Isn’t it difficult?” The emperor summed up the memorial.

Du Wan played with the hilt of the ring-headed sword, "Let them pay for their lives with their private property."

“The state has national laws, and families have family rules.”

"It's not that we want to reinstate their official positions. It depends on how much money they pay and how much their crimes are reduced. For example, the death penalty can be replaced by exile. Maybe after they hand over the money, they can then report one or two corrupt officials and the merit will be reduced. But he can be forgiven his crime and become an ordinary citizen."

The suggestion was a bit out of tune, but the emperor actually thought it was feasible, "Wanwan, have you ever thought about pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud? The number of officials involved will only become wider and wider, and by then the entire court will be involved..."

Du Wan understood what he was saying, "I got in as soon as I got involved, just in time to clean up."

 “Aren’t you afraid of turmoil in the court?”

"If I don't do this, will the court be able to be safe?" Du Wan asked this question, which seemed innocent, but it was a **** fact.

 The emperor was dumbfounded by the question.

Du Wan said: "If you are sick, treat it in time. If it is delayed for a long time, a minor illness will become a serious illness, and in the end it will be impossible to cure even if you want to. The principle is the same, it depends on whether my uncle has the determination."

 “Wanwan has grown up and understands a lot of truths.”

"During the time when I was missing, I ventured into the mountains to collect herbs just to get some food. After a hard day's work, I only got two or three black pancakes, which were extremely unpalatable. If it was windy or rainy, even the herbs would be gone. We had no choice but to go hungry. But people like me were pretty good, at least they didn’t starve to death.”

 The look on Du Wan's face showed a faint smile. It's just this smile that makes people feel a little distressed for no reason.

The emperor frowned slightly, "What else did Wanwan see?"

"Poverty, poverty, is everywhere. Only the capital is better. In fact, it is not much better. Last time I went to a village. The people there have been renting farmland for generations. They still live a very difficult life. They are all skin and bones. People still starve to death every year.”

  “…” This was the first time the emperor heard someone say these words to him.

He always thought that remote areas would be poorer, but he didn't know that even the people in the capital were having a hard time.

"Do you know what skin and bones mean?" Du Wan deliberately described the appearance of skin and bones, "Have you ever seen a skeleton? It's like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of human skin. Do you think it's scary or not?"

emperor:"…"

 Imagine it, it’s quite scary!

Du Wan leaned back on the chair, "If you don't believe it, you can go for a walk. You don't need to go very far. You are guaranteed to see many human skin skeletons. Oh, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't be impressed. I say goodbye You can’t imagine more.”

The emperor listened thoughtfully.

 Sit for a while longer.

Du Wan is very clear about her identity and her position.

  As much ability as a person has, he can do as much work as he wants. She, Du Wan, is just an ordinary little girl, and now she has gone too far to remind the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was still deep in thought, Du Wan quietly stood up on tiptoes and slipped out of the imperial study. She felt happy when she was not called back when she left.

 Running to the palace gate.

Unexpectedly, I saw the guards coming from another shift and couldn't enter the palace for the time being.

Du Wan summoned a personal guard, gave him a thousand taels of silver, and left it to him to buy food and wine. Then she went to the Imperial City Si Yamen. Pei Hao was not seen, and Mu Si'an and Hu San were not there either.

 Did you work overtime last night and now you have a rest?

Du Wan thought about it and ran to the Rites Yamen to find Du's consort. It is said that this is the first time Du Wan has stepped into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites since Prince Consort Du became Minister.

   Du Ma was dealing with some official business. He was still surprised when he saw his daughter coming in. "Wanwan, did something happen?"

"Nothing." Du Wan leaned across the desk and leaned on the table, her head close to Du's consort, "Dad, I heard my uncle say that he wants you to be the Minister of Household Affairs?"

 “Did the emperor tell you?”

"Yeah, he said a lot of things, and he wants me to help him dig out the private property of those in the prison, but I won't do it." Du Wan playfully winked at Prince Consort Du.

Du Huima originally smiled fondly, but soon turned serious again, "It was right not to agree."

"That's right. As a little girl, I should eat, drink and have fun, and I shouldn't bear responsibilities that don't belong to my age."

 “…” sounds very reasonable.

Du Prince Consort couldn't bear to attack her, "If you don't agree, this matter will surely fall on Qian'er."

 Du Wan: “…”

 It is really possible.

Thereupon, Du Wan did not wait long and ran towards Tianlao quickly. As expected, he bumped into a young **** who was delivering an order in front of Tianlao. When he saw Du Wan, the young **** hurriedly came forward respectfully to greet him.

  Du Wan asked: "Are you here to see my brother?"

 “Back to the princess, yes.”

 “Transmit a decree for the emperor?”

 “Yes.” The young **** lowered his head and answered truthfully.

Du Wan did not ask any more questions and waved her hand, indicating that he could retreat.

When I saw Du Qian, I found him sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

Du Wan waved her little hand in front of him, "What are you thinking about, brother?"

"The emperor gave me a decree to dig out the private property of those in prison and make amends for my mistakes. He also said that although I was plotted by others, it is still a fault if the plot is successful." Du Qian looked at his home deeply. Little sister, you look like you did something else.

Du Wan pretended to be calm, "Brother, what does this mean? I'll help you."

 “My dear sister!”

Du Qian stood up and patted her on the shoulder, "I knew you would help."

Du Wan suddenly had the illusion that he had fallen into a trap.

  Could it be said that the cheap brother has learned bad things? Don’t you love your sister anymore? Isn’t she a sister?

Du Qian took his sister to sit down and began to discuss what to do, "According to the emperor's uncle, does my sister plan to let them spend money to buy their lives?"

“Well, there’s no carrot hanging in front of me, and I don’t want to leave even if I’m a donkey.”

Du Wan began to seriously think of a solution for Du Qian.

The two brothers and sister got together and whispered for most of an hour before finally deciding on a plan. Next, Du Wan started patrolling again, no, walking around the prison.

 Some people also want to talk to Du Wan.

Du Wan responded from time to time, and people asked her why she was in jail.

Du Wan said truthfully: "My eldest brother is stupid and was tricked by bad people. My uncle put him in a sky prison and told him to reflect and reflect on his situation so that he can be smarter in the future. I will come to accompany him when I have nothing to do."

 The person who asked was stunned, and his first thought was disbelief. But the little girl's big eyes were clear, her little face looked innocent, and she was very deceptive.
