After Zhou Lingfeng left the palace, he immediately used the telegraph to contact Wen Jin.
"My Majesty, the Emperor seems to have received some message... He said that he wanted to bring order to the chaos, close down women's schools, and dismiss the female officials in the court. How does your Majesty view this matter?"
Zhou Lingfeng left the palace gate and immediately sent a message.
But until he returned to his house, he did not receive a reply from Wen Jin.
Zhou Lingfeng frowned, "Mother, did something happen to you?"
He contacted Wen Jin again, but there was still no word from him.
Zhou Lingfeng breathed in secretly.
He thought about it and sent a message to Han Xian.
"Taifu Han, please remember not to return to Beijing in a hurry, but first deal with the affairs of the female Taoist temple. If the affairs of the Taoist temple are not handled well now, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the empress!"
Zhou Lingfeng was worried that if Xiao Yuchen wanted to attack female students and female officials in the court, it would soon be the female Taoist temple's turn.
Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't attacked the female Taoist temple yet... Han Xian had to make preparations early.
Zhou Lingfeng waited until he fell asleep but didn't wait for Han Xian's reply.
"Everyone, what's going on!?"
Zhou Lingfeng remembered that after he and his wife left the Taoist temple, Han Xian would definitely meditate.
While he was meditating, he was unable to reply, which was normal.
Zhou Lingfeng didn't know that when he contacted Wen Jin.
Wen Jin is also contacting him.
Wen Jin put his daughter to sleep in the main hall of Renhe Palace.
Although she was tired, she was not sleepy.
She took out the transmission talisman and contacted Zhou Lingfeng, "National Master, have you met the emperor? Is he a little strange? He seems to be hiding something and doesn't want me to know... but it has something to do with me?"
After Wen Jin sent the message, he felt that what he said might not be specific enough.
She immediately took out the transmission talisman again.
"Now, can you figure it out? What happened in Kyoto? Is this matter related to the emperor?"
Wen Jin's two transmission notes were used up.
But it was the same as what happened to Zhou Lingfeng - silence and no response.
"What's going on?" Wen Jin wondered.
This is not the first time she has used this transmission talisman. It worked very well in the past, but today it frequently fails...
Oh, by the way, when Xiao Yuchen was in the palace, she sent a message to Xiao Yuchen, but Xiao Yuchen didn't respond.
Could it be a problem with this palace?
Like the "signal jammer" of later generations. This palace also blocks Taoism.
So her transmission talismans couldn't be transmitted at all, and similarly, she couldn't receive any messages?
Wen Jin put on her clothes, put on her shoes, and came to the entrance of the palace.
She looked back and saw her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed.
This girl has been crying for a long time. She is really tired from crying now and is sleeping very soundly. I guess I can sleep for a few hours at a stretch.
Wen Jin opened the door quietly, but she hadn't even stepped out of the door yet.
The eunuch at the door blocked the door with a whisk and said, "My queen, please come back. The emperor has told me that you cannot leave this palace tonight."
Wen Jin was slightly startled, "What?"
"You cannot leave this hall tonight." The eunuch said with a serious smile.
Wen Jin has been a queen for so long, and this is the first time she has experienced such restrictions on her freedom.
She suddenly thought of the six years in Wutong Courtyard.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Xiao Yuchen... what happened to you?"
"Mother, please come back."
"What if I have to go out?" Wen Jin asked with a smile.
"Then please, Madam, step on the corpses of the slaves and go out." There was no emotion in the eunuch's voice, and on his calm and young face, "Considering Death" was written on his face.
Wen Jin sighed. She didn't know where Xiao Yuchen got such a persistent and unfamiliar eunuch.
Wen Jin smiled and said, "Okay, you have the guts."
Bang, she closed the palace door.
She was a little angry at first, but remembering that her daughter was still sleeping soundly, Wen Jin looked at the bed fearfully.
I was really afraid that the sound of closing the door would wake up my little ancestor again.
Fortunately, okay... Yue'er didn't wake up.
Wen Jin came to the window, which is where she came in.
Today, the windows remain ajar.
Wen Jin entered the space, hid in the mezzanine, jumped up, and wanted to jump out of the window.
boom!
She seemed to have hit some kind of "wall".
She jumped so hard and bumped hard that her shoulders were numb from the impact.
And instead of jumping out of the window, she was knocked back several steps.
Wen Jin stepped forward suspiciously and reached out to touch the window.
There is an invisible barrier on the window.
She couldn't even put her hands out of the window.
"This..." Wen Jin couldn't believe it, "I...I was put under house arrest by him? Can't I get out?"
Only then did Wen Jin realize that there were people guarding outside every window.
When she hides in the space, she will be blocked by invisible barriers and unable to leave.
"No... there must be a master around Xiao Yuchen!"
Wen Jin pondered, "When we first attacked the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple, Yun Lan and the others set up formations, but they couldn't restrict my space... Why can the main hall of Renhe Palace restrict me?"
Wen Jin returned to the bed, and she thought hard...until she fell asleep, she still didn't understand.
Xiao Yuchen said he would be back soon.
But he slipped up.
He never came back.
Until the eunuch who was waiting for him in the morning opened the door of the royal study and called the palace servants to wait on him when he got up.
"Your Majesty...it's time to go to court!"
The chief eunuch was shocked to find that Xiao Yuchen had been sitting behind the court case.
All night long, he didn't take a look at each other.
There was a book spread out in front of him. His eyes fell on the book and he read it over and over again.
"Your Majesty, you...didn't you rest last night? Are you still going to court today? Otherwise..."
"Change and go to court."
Xiao Yuchen closed the book in front of him.
He came to the clothes rack, stretched out his arms, and asked the eunuch to help him change clothes.
Above the court meeting.
Xiao Yuchen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.
Everyone was used to his seriousness, so they didn't realize that he was any different from usual today.
But his words shocked all the ministers in the court meeting.
Xiao Yuchen cleared his throat and said, "From now on, the female school will be closed. Women will be stopped from participating in the provincial examination and the general examination. Accountants and clerks are not allowed to hire women."
As soon as Xiao Yuchen said these words, everyone in the court was dumbfounded.
Is this still the wise and powerful Emperor Liang?
Oh, no, is this still the Emperor Liang who supports the Queen in everything and only obeys the Queen’s wishes?
You know, establishing women's schools, allowing women to participate in imperial examinations, allowing women to be exposed and engaged in business activities...that is what the Queen has been working hard to achieve!
Furthermore, now 30% of the court officials are female officials.
There was silence for a moment during the court meeting.
I heard the prince's loud voice saying, "I object!"
Everyone was awakened by this objection.
All the female officials, as well as half of the male officials, also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think again!"
Xiao Yuchen's heavy eyes fell on Yu'er.
He glanced at the officials again and said, "I am not discussing with you. This is an imperial decree!"
Xiao Yuchen directly issued an order, ordering all levels of government offices to close all female schools and remove all female teachers within three days.
After issuing the imperial edict, Xiao Yuchen stood up and said, "Retreat from the court."
