Chapter 1333 Mo Zili's Pain (1)

On November 15th of the first year of Shunde in the Jin Dynasty, something happened that shocked the entire capital.

Zhuifeng, the chief guard of the palace of the Jin Dynasty, dug up several skeletons of monsters in Erlong Mountain, Yuanning County, Qingzhou. The bones of these monsters were extremely large. One leg bone was larger than a person. The skull of the monster was even more terrifying. Not only was it extremely large, but it also had two horns.

The people watching along the way knelt down in awe when they saw the huge bones on the car and worshiped them. Some people spread rumors everywhere, saying that evil spirits had been born and the world was going to be in chaos.

However, before these rumors spread, guards took notices with a picture of a two-horned monster and posted them in conspicuous places along the way, telling the people in detail what these bones were, so that the ignorant people would not be used by those with ulterior motives after seeing these bones.

The skeleton was transported to the palace, and after it was pieced together, it was exactly the same as Caiwei's previous painting. When the ministers saw it, they couldn't help but admire the queen's erudition and knowledge, and Nangong Yi was also very proud of it.

Thanks to his wife's profound knowledge, otherwise, thousands of people in Erlongshan would have lost their lives because of the ignorance of some important officials in the court, and he would have been responsible for many lives!

Taking this opportunity, Nangong Yi took the opportunity to punish several pedantic officials, deprived them of the power they held, promoted several young and promising people with lofty ideals, and rectified the court. The court and the public soon had a new look and a new atmosphere.

Nangong Yi attributed all these things to his wife. If it weren't for her, he would not have found a chance to deal with those old officials who held great power. Taking back the power in their hands would be of great benefit to him and the court.

…

At the end of November, Nangong Yi took the Queen Mother and his wife, the princes and princesses of the royal family, and the ministers of the third rank and above in the court to the royal hunting ground for the annual autumn hunting.

In fact, Caiwei did not agree with the autumn hunting activity. In her opinion, every animal has the right to survive, and humans, as advanced animals, can hunt them for survival and fill their stomachs, but it is too immoral to deprive them of the right to survive just for fun.

However, she also knows that every society has its own survival rules. The development of society and the progress of people's ideology require a slow and gradual process. She will try to promote the speed of social development and progress, but she will not force it, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Now, many of her practices have challenged the authority of this feudal system. For example, she persuaded Nangong Yi to abolish torture such as lingchi and five horses dismembering a body, abolished the unreasonable punishment system of punishing nine clans, and abolished the emperor's system of burying alive with the dead. All these decisions have caused a lot of turmoil in the court. Some ministers even accused Caiwei of being a hen crowing at dawn and Nangong Yi of being obsessed with women and allowing women to interfere in government affairs. If it weren't for the triceratops incident that helped her save some of the situation, the ministers in the court would still be impeaching her with a strong argument.

So, although she disagreed with hunting, she chose to remain silent and did not further intensify the conflict between her and the ministers. At most, she would stay at the hunting ground and not go hunting...

On the day of autumn hunting, Caiwei and Nangong Yi rode together in a chariot, starting from the palace, from the inner city to the outer city, and finally went straight to the Imperial Street, out of the gate of the capital, and headed straight to the hunting ground.

When the emperor and empress went out, they would naturally impose martial law in advance and clear the streets. There was complete silence along the way as the people had long been dispersed. There was only the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels.
