female concubine

At the end of the first month of the 12th year of Jianping, Liang Wenfu, a political adviser, married the daughter of Chen Yu, an envoy of the Privy Council.

On the day of the kiss, the groom wears a flower on his head and rides on a black horse in a formal dress. From the outer city to the inner city, the sun shines on the left side of his face, and his face is full of spring breeze.

"I heard that the young deputy prime minister was dismissed once last year, it seems that it was because of prostitution."

"Yes, Mr. Chen is honest and upright, how could he marry his daughter to him?"

"So what if you are upright, who in the court is not an official and protects each other? It is normal for a prime minister to marry."

Chen Yu, the envoy of the Privy Council, was sitting in the nave of Chen's house, and the courtyard was full of guests, bustling and lively.

"Officer, is this man surnamed Liang reliable for participating in politics? My concubine heard some indecent things about him before, why did you make this marriage in a hurry?"

Listening to his wife's soft but complaining words, Chen Yu closed his eyes.

【"The death of the king of Chu was actually ordered by the crown prince. The crown prince deliberately transferred the official to the Ministry of Punishment, just to control Shen Yi'an and fear that he would reverse his confession. He also did the death of the abolished prince. Speaking of it, I am ashamed to be an official. The official is a secret job he arranged next to the deposed prince, and it was only to help him get rid of the fatuous prince's position as heir, but who knows that he murdered his own brother and became so vicious."

"The lower officials know that the prime minister is dedicated to serving the country and the people, but now that Chu Erde is not worthy, once he becomes a king, what will be the consequences? Presumably the prime minister should understand that if the courtiers of this court are overthrown, the country will definitely suffer. Falling into turmoil, the Prime Minister has the heart to see the world in chaos and people living in dire straits?"

"Although the king of Chu is gone now, his son is still there. Your majesty's body can support the county king to grow up. I have recently visited the small county king. I am not afraid of the court. If I can get my master to teach me the way of benevolence , perhaps in the near future will become a holy king."

"Even if the prime minister doesn't think about himself, he still has to think about the Chen family. The prince won't be grateful because you said a few good words for him, and he is not a king who can tolerate admonishing ministers."

"Xiaguan knows that the court has a lot of complaints about Xiaguan. Xiaguan is indeed a prostitute. However, that woman is Xiaguan's green plum. When she was young, her family was poor. How can Xiaguan bear her to stay in the romantic place, so she is not afraid of criticism from all officials. Don't be afraid of being demoted to take her back to the mansion, now that she has died of illness, the next official dares to come to the door to propose marriage, what the next official said today, I hope that the Prime Minister will think twice, and I hope that the Prime Minister will put the world first."]

Chen Yu raised his right hand resting on his thigh, and stroked his beard, "Time and fate, instead of going to death, you should fight hard, fight one, in a peaceful and prosperous age, fight one, prosperous age Mingjun."

In late March of the 12th year of Jianping, Censor Zhongcheng was impeached by the Court of Admonitions. The imperial army searched Jinwan in his home, so he was dismissed and imprisoned. He was exiled and exiled to the army for accepting bribes.

The emperor grabbed a handful of Jinmaru, the heavy balls were all made of pure gold, with delicate patterns carved on them.

"Your Majesty, will this be..." Han Si reminded gently standing beside him.

The emperor put the golden pill back, "The road to becoming a king must be bumpy. If he doesn't have this bit of tolerance, how can he be an emperor?"

The emperor took a pen and wrote a character of benevolence on the rice paper, "It would be great if he was a little older."

On March 27, Han Si walked into the Chongwen Hall to give lectures for the prince.

Han Si relayed the emperor's words in their entirety, causing the "Shangshu" to slip from the crown prince's hand, - tap - "A little older?" Wei Kai leaned back in panic, "If you are a little older, you can study and study, Your Majesty really cares. Do you have any thoughts about Yi Chu?"

Han Si shook his head, "I don't think so. In the early autumn of last year, Your Majesty told me to let you be His Highness's mirror and help His Highness..."

"Liang Wenfu presided over this year's Chunwei and married the daughter of the privy envoy, and now he has pulled out the Yushitai. He hates me very much now. After the uncle died, the King of Chu did not show up. Now I doubt whether my uncle is really as Mr. said He made up lies to lie to me, if he hadn't lied to me..." Wei Kai gritted his teeth, "How could I be soft-hearted and let Liang Wenfu be safe and sound, but now it's a good thing, uncle has lost Liang Wenfu and has become the chief executive and is against me."

"I didn't expect this, and I underestimated Liang Wenfu."

"My palace has sent people to watch him several times to the Chu Palace. In the past, when the Chu king was here, he was a man who followed the wind, sir." The prince raised his head and stared straight at Han Bang, "Your Majesty is old now. I'm so suspicious, my eyes are closed and my ears are closed, and I'm in my prime..."

"But according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order, I will never refuse to die." Han Si stood up and bowed to him.

"Don't worry sir, I will never forget your teachings, and I will not act rashly if it is not at the end of the road."

Coming out of Zuochunfang, Han Bo went home in a carriage. When he got off the carriage, he saw that the persimmon tree protruding from the wall of the house was covered with green leaves.

After walking home, he took off his hat and said, "Bring the knife."

The attendant asked suspiciously: "Knife? What does Alang want a knife for..."

"The vegetables in the field are cooked."

"So that's how it is. Xiaodi will go now."

In the main courtyard on the north side of the Han residence, a pot of blooming begonias is planted in Yuanling County. "Has Han Jingming returned?"

"Back to Ma'am, it's A Lang who came back. The people in the outer courtyard just said that A Lang went to cut vegetables in the yard of the persimmon tree with a knife."

The head of Yuanling County put down the scissors and touched his slightly protruding belly, "Cut vegetables?"

In the gazebo in the vegetable garden, she sent away all the servants and stared at the busy people in the field for a long time.

Han Si picked up a handful of vegetables, "Miss, are you willing to see Jingming?"

The head of Yuanling County pinched the edge of Beizi's clothes, "They said that it was the prince's elder brother who murdered the sixth elder brother."

Han Bang picked out the dishes and put them aside, washed his hands and shook his head, "That's just a rumor."

Han Si assisting the crown prince must know something, now she has guessed something because she is prevaricated and refuses to say it, and said: "If one day you had to choose between your official career and me, who would you choose?"

The hand drawn from the clear water suddenly froze, Han Bang wiped the water dry and said softly, "Jingming will try his best to protect the wife and children well."

----------------------------------

At the beginning of April, one hundred officials participated in the first hundred officials, and some officials mentioned the matter of establishing the empress. The officials discussed and discussed, and they participated in the political affairs. Going to the battlefield for His Majesty, taking the lead as a prince, and finally dying for the country, I think I should stand."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The emperor came to Zhaohua Pavilion that night, but did not stay overnight.

Hearing the news of Li Hou, Concubine Li Gui knelt down in fright, "This concubine has no virtue and incompetence, and is really not worthy of a high office in the middle palace. Officials..."

"Your empress position was elected unanimously by the ministers. I granted you the empress seal in the hope that you will become the prince's aunt. In the future, he will be able to protect your family when he ascends the throne. He still doesn't understand how difficult it is to be the emperor of the Wei family. , if I don't live to let that child grow up, I hope you can keep him."

Li Shizheng raised his head and looked at the back of the emperor leaving. The name of the husband and wife was just what he needed. Li collapsed on the ground and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The concubine is just a woman, just you The concubines of the Wei family are just ministers of your Wei family."

The news that Ouchi wanted to make Mrs. Li soon spread to the people, and for a while it almost became the public opinion in Tokyo. Sun.

One month after the marriage, the government held a "full moon" party for the newlyweds. After the banquet, Liang Wenfu returned to his natal home with his wife.

"After the book is finalized, the king of Shouchun County will become the grandson. In the future, he will be appointed as the heir. His son-in-law has done a lot of things for him when he served the prince. The son-in-law is afraid that the prince will abandon it after using it, so he keeps all these evidences. Come down, the new censor Zhongcheng is from Jiangning and he is the same subject as my son-in-law, so as long as the Privy Council where Taishan is located also responds, I believe that Lu Xiang will not say much."

It is not a trivial matter to set up a reserve and abolish the reserve. Once the East Palace is shaken, I don’t know what will happen to the court. "I don’t know whether it is right or wrong to take this step."

"There is no right or wrong in contention in the world. King Zhao killed his siblings. How can such an unrighteous person be worthy of being a king, and..." Liang Wenfu stopped, "Earlier, Xiang Lu returned to Zhongshu from the Chuigong Palace and said that His Majesty asked him What would happen if the prince was abolished and the king of Chu was replaced and then the grandson of the emperor was replaced? Lu Xiang didn't dare to answer His Majesty, so he didn't ask any more questions. Now that he thinks about it carefully, His Majesty had thought about making the emperor's grandson the crown prince, but The emperor's grandson is still too young, and this country can't stand the storm."

The servant who came out of the prime minister's house hurriedly walked into a tailor's shop, changed into new clothes after a while and walked out, looked left and right, got on his horse and ran towards the east side of Da Nei.

A horse stopped beside the stone lion, and there was the sound of breaking a teacup in the East Palace Bookstore, and the door was kicked open immediately, and the Crown Prince hurried out of the anxious Prince Zhan Shi who had just met.

"what happened?"

Prince Zhan Shi stepped forward and leaned closer to the Crown Prince's ear, "The spies came to report that they found King Chu's trace on Qinfeng Road, west of Jingzhao Mansion."

Bad things happened one after another, and the crown prince stared at him with hatred, "We must find him, never let him appear in the capital, and never stay."

"The minister will go right away."

The crown prince walked towards the courtyard holding his sweaty hands, "I can't sit still and wait for death."

When I walked to the courtyard, I was stopped by the princess in the corridor, "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

Wei Kai's eyes were full of killing, and he restrained himself when he raised his head and looked at the Crown Princess, and said calmly: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, will you go back to visit Weng Weng, you..."

"It's still half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Then it's good to go back and visit Weng Weng." Wei Kai approached the princess.

"Your Highness doesn't want to visit Weng Weng, but wants to see my concubine's father, right?" Seeing the prince suddenly stop, the princess raised her brows, "But the concubine just wants to go back to visit Weng Weng."

"In a few days, the Japanese palace will accompany you."

The concubine nodded, and Wei Kai beckoned to Zhi Tonglang, "Tomorrow, Han Du will come to give lectures at the Chongwen Museum."

"Yes."

--------------

On April 12th, Jianping [-]th, the emperor suffered a serious illness, which alarmed the whole Hanlin Hospital.

On the 21st, the defense was changed in the city. Not long after nightfall, troops south of Gyeonggi-do moved out secretly, not on official roads but on deserted mountain paths.

"This is treason. If it fails, it will be a serious crime against the Jiu Clan."

"It's dead anyway, so it's better to fight hard. I won you and I are the great heroes of the new dynasty, and the official promotion is just around the corner. Now His Highness's Taishan is the commander in front of the palace, and His Highness's husband is in the Imperial City Department. His Majesty has already Sooner or later, when you get old, you will have to pass the seat, so is it true that you really want to give the seat to that child who is still learning to speak?"

In the early morning of the 22nd, all the houses except Wazi turned off their lights to sleep peacefully. The dead soldiers hiding in various markets rushed into a Wazi one after another. With the sound of a whistle, the guards patrolling and guarding the city suddenly gathered.

The original flying bridge of King Zhao's Mansion had been dismantled when Wei Kai became the crown prince. The East Palace was connected to the Grand Palace, but there were several layers of imperial guards guarding him, so he could only choose to go through the main gate of the palace.

At night when he couldn't see his fingers, Wei Kai rode on the horse and looked at the many guards beside him.

The general on duty in Tokyo today is Li Xiaoyi, the commander of the capital in front of the palace. Several infantry teams followed him into a hidden alley, "Your Highness."

Seeing thousands of forbidden troops lined up the entire alley, Wei Kai pulled the reins and drove his horse forward, "If you have a good plan, the officials and crooks will take advantage of it and then deceive you. Those who explore and cast hooks, so they are public officials." Also; if the best is private, the officials will take advantage of the right and then fall behind. Hengshi is called a county, so it is flat; Also, if you are greedy for profit, then your officials will take advantage of what is right, and then get rich and engraved with it, and take it from the people without measure. Therefore, those who are more armed are the flow of governance, not the root of governance; the gentleman is the root of governance. Sai listens to the government, favors traitors, and alienates good ministers. How can such a hot-blooded man with iron bones waste all his abilities? , all have rewards."

Wei Kai drove his horse to Li Xiaoyi's side again, "I have been planning for so long, and in half an hour there will be two armies outside the city besieging the city. I hope Taishan will not disappoint me."

Li Xiaoyi rode on the horse and cupped his hands, "I will definitely live up to Your Highness."

Wei Kai whispered to the attendant beside him again, "Send someone to Chu Palace, and don't leave a single one alive."

"Then... what about Princess Chu?"

"You already call her Princess Chu, save me for my joke?"

"I dare not."

The commotion caused by a team of thousands of people was not small, and the lamp holders poked their heads out and frightened and quickly extinguished them, closing their own doors tightly.

It didn't take long for the old city to start fighting, and no passer-by who ran into them when they returned home late at night was spared.

The sound alarmed the City Defense Battalion and the Street Division.

The scarlet-robed official took out the key from the key storehouse, "According to His Majesty's order, to open the Donghua Gate, I want to go out."

Several imperial city supervisors hesitated for a while, then lit torches to check the fish amulet, "Business, Mo Chi?"

One of the prison guards slapped the interrogator on the head, "Going out of the palace on official business is of course approved by the official, just open the door!" Han Si is their immediate boss, and now Shengjuan Zhenglong is the crown prince's lecturer. Several prison guards would rather suffer punishment than offend him, so they beckoned to open the palace gate, but just after the key was released, the palace gate was pushed open from the outside.

"Yes..." Before the imperial guard could finish his sentence, he was killed by another imperial guard in a different attire.

After a burst of soldiers, Han Si knelt down and bowed his head to the crown prince in armor, "The minister controls the opening and closing of the palace gates, but more than half of the Imperial City Imperial Guards are not dispatched by the minister."

"Don't worry, sir. It's a great achievement for me to open the palace gate. Yuanling and the baby in my womb are all well. It's just that the princess is bored recently and wants to invite my younger sister to the East Palace to catch up with the princess. My palace also arranges for it." Don't worry, sir, when this palace seizes the world, Mr. Tomorrow and Mount Tai will be the Sangongs of the new dynasty."

Thousands of guards in front of the palace and thousands of dead soldiers sneaked into the ban, and the guards on the tower were removed by Han Bang a moment ago.

"Don't let any of the civil servants go."

A group of forbidden troops went to the provinces where the officials beside the Wende Palace were on duty. During this period, some court ladies and eunuchs were so frightened that they threw plates and bowls and yelled loudly.

The original prince Zhan Shi also changed back into his military uniform, and hurried back to the prince with a group of people, "Your Highness, there are only a few palace servants and servants in the Prince Chu's residence, and Princess Chu and the child have not been seen."

Wei Kai turned around in shock, "What?"

Suddenly, the city gate was closed with a bang, and there was a sound of drumming from the corner of the city, and then the lights in the Daqing Hall suddenly lit up, and a scarlet robe who had just stepped up stood on the high steps in front of the hall.

Wei Kai pulled the rein, looked up suspiciously: "Sir?"

"Your Highness, do you still remember what I said to you?"

With the fire shining on his back, Han Bang's face was deep and hollow, Wei Kai frowned tightly, "I don't know what sentence Mr. is referring to?"

"I said before, I only serve the king." He folded his wide sleeves and bowed slightly.
