Eunuch Xu smiled and was particularly kind: "Don't worry, Lord Liu, the Empress is now short of talents. I heard that Mr. Liu passed the Jinshi at the age of 20. How could such a talent be just a civilian? Naturally, it must shine in the court."

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth: "You don't know anything about it. He is indeed not suitable for entering the court..."

Eunuch Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, what you are worried about is not a problem at all. If you have any problems, just say it directly to the Empress. The Empress is kind-hearted and will not force others to do anything."

They are all people in the officialdom, and Liu Cheng immediately understood the words of Eunuch Xu. If the Empress really doesn't care about this, then wouldn't her son's talents have a place to display?

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng felt as if he was carrying a little rabbit, both nervous and expectant.

After the morning court, Liu Cheng left the imperial study room, and Eunuch Xu also took Liu Yuanhang to wait outside the imperial study room. Liu Yuanhang was quite calm and looked very cold and self-controlled.

In the imperial study, Qingzhu rubbed Jiang Chan's shoulders and sat for two hours, and it was inevitable that she would feel uncomfortable.

"I pay homage to the Empress Dowager."

"The Caomin bowed to the Empress Dowager."

The father and son knelt down as soon as they entered the imperial study. Jiang Chan raised his hand and held someone to show Liu Cheng the seat. This person was not easy. He stood there for several hours, unlike himself, and he still sat in a seat.

After thanking the Queen Mother, Liu Cheng sat down on the chair, and Liu Yuanhang stood opposite Jiang Chan with his hands down.

Jiang Chan raised her hand, and Qingzhu took a step back understandingly, looking at her eyes, nose, and heart.

Jiang Chan looked at Liu Yuanhang several times before laughing: "I heard that Mr. Liu was a Jinshi when he was in his prime. Why didn't he become an official in such a great talent?"

Liu Cheng opened his mouth and was about to say that Jiang Chan looked over, and Liu Cheng immediately shut up. He knew that this was Jiang Chan testing Liu Yuanhang, and he would see if he would tell the truth.

If you don’t even dare to say the truth to others, then there is no need to say what comes later.

Liu Yuanhang frowned. He didn't dare to look up at Jiang Chan's appearance, but he just took a look when he entered the door. He looked very young, as if he was about the same age as him, but he looked very majestic.

He bowed: "The Empress is too rewarding. The grass-roots are not interested in becoming an official. It is better to be idle and free and easy."

Jiang Chan smiled slightly: "Ai's family must listen to the truth."

Liu Cheng's heart trembled. What is the truth? Don't you know? But he didn't dare to say it. Looking at his son, he was so anxious that he jumped.

Liu Yuanhang lowered his hands: "Caomin is born with a male style. If he becomes an official, it will inevitably attract criticism from others. His father is also in court, so Caomin is unwilling to cause trouble for his father."

Jiang Chan nodded with satisfaction, "You can tell the truth, the Ai family is very satisfied."

"Ai family asks you, if Ai family wants to enable you, the premise is to let you get married, are you willing?"

"The grass-roots people don't want to." Liu Yuanhang did not hesitate and did not stop at all.

Although Liu Cheng felt sorry for his answer, he was not dissatisfied with his answer.

"oh?"

"If Caomin gets married, it will hurt an innocent person, which Caomin is unwilling to do. It would be better to drink tea and read books at home like before."

Jiang Chan smiled and said, "The Ai family is very satisfied with your answer."

Next, Jiang Chan focused on Liu Yuanhang's talent and knowledge, and finally found that he was familiar with the law and was a rare talent in the law.

"Mr. Liu really has a family background, and the noble son can already stand alone."

Liu Chengqian: "That is the empress's appreciation, and he still needs experience."

Jiang Chan tapped the table with her fingers: "The Ai family is now thinking about revising the laws. While you are all here today, the Ai family will tell you what they think."

"As for Liu Yuanhang, let's practice in the Ministry of Justice first. Ai's family will give you a three-month probation period. If you pass the Ministry of Justice's probation assessment, Ai's family will naturally make arrangements."

"Thank you, Empress."

The father and son thanked each other, but Liu Cheng hesitated: "But the son likes the male style..."

Jiang Chan raised her eyes, "Has he violated the law?"

"Of course there is no such thing as this in the law."

"So did he cheat on his marriage with his wife?"

"Of course not, and I won't agree."

"That's true. The Ai family does not care about other people's preferences. As long as he can do his job well, does not violate the laws, and does not cause harm to others, the Ai family will naturally dare to use such people."

"Thank you, Empress."

Now Liu Cheng and Liu Yuanhang thanked him sincerely. They did not expect Jiang Chan to be so open-minded. Just like Liu Yuanhang's mother, she still can't accept this matter.

Next, Jiang Chan discussed the laws of Dayu Dynasty with Liu Cheng carefully. It was easy to take advantage of loopholes in some places. Moreover, she also had to restrict the officials' words and deeds.

She advocates monogamy, but in the feudal era, three wives and four concubines were almost ruled, and it was particularly difficult to change this concept.

"If you want to become an official in the court, you must abide by this. An official cannot restrain his words and deeds and cannot restrain himself and return to courtesy, then he will have a bad influence on others, which is absolutely unwilling tolerated by the Ai family."

"In addition, women's rights and interests must be protected and women's households must be established..."

Jiang Chan said this one by one, and the three of them had been discussing in the imperial study until the evening. Just recording the floor paper was thick stacks.

This is just her initial idea, and it needs to be discussed carefully by the officials of the Ministry of Justice. She is not omnipotent, and there are always things that are not thoughtful, so others need to check for omissions.

The more discussed it, the deeper Liu Cheng and Liu Yuanhang's awe of Jiang Chan. If these laws are really implemented and effective, then the Dayu Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes.

One of them is that if a woman has the ability, she no longer has to rely on a man to live.

But if this is implemented, it will inevitably be difficult. First of all, the traditional concept of three wives and four concubines as the wife's wife has been challenged. Both of them could predict that if it is implemented, many officials will definitely oppose it.

Jiang Chan sneered: "Are men born arrogant? The Ai family believes that if women are given good education, their achievements will definitely not be lower than those of men."

After saying this, Liu Cheng and Liu Yuanhang bowed their heads together and did not express any opinions. If they interrupted, wouldn’t they be scolding themselves?

Officials of the Ministry of Justice worked overtime and took into account all aspects. Only a month later did the new draft laws be sent to Jiang Chan's desk.

Jiang Chan opened it and looked carefully, and pointed out a few shortcomings. Only such a new law was officially released.
