female concubine

In the last few days of Shangyuan, the city of Tokyo was full of turmoil due to the matter of Princess Wu. Lu Shicheng was stripped of his son-in-law.

Tong Pingzhang submitted a request to dismiss the post of Chancellor because of his heir, and the emperor rejected it. Except for the prime minister’s resignation, the imperial court accused the emperor of being unfair. The matter continued until February, when the prime minister repeatedly asked to resign, and at the end of the first month, the emperor secretly ordered the Hanlin scholar Suoyuan to draft the dismissal of the prime minister Baima.

At the beginning of February, Shuosan, all officials in the capital came to the court with lanterns to participate in the deliberation. After Zhengdan, the emperor ordered the dance to be exempted from worship and changed to Jishou three worship.

It wasn't long before the ministers knelt up and stood at the wat, a stalemate dispute broke out in the court hall.

Lu Wei went out and took out the letter in his sleeve, and the servant took the letter and walked up the steps of the palace, read out the contents written in the letter in public and forwarded it to the emperor.

In addition to Zhazi's resignation, Lu Wei knelt on his knees and said: "It is my fault that my nephew caused the royal family's face to be damaged. Therefore, I would like to ask you to descend to the post of prime minister. I hope your majesty will approve."

"Lu Xiang has been an official for decades, conscientious and conscientious, his achievements are obvious to all, but the leader is very virtuous, and the son does not teach his father's fault..."

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law is only the nephew of Prime Minister Lu, not his son. I believe that the fault of the son-in-law cannot be blamed on Prime Minister Lu." The civil servants on the right came out to refute the emperor.

The emperor was about to say something, so the green robe stood up from the queue, and said bluntly without any fear: "When it comes to virtue, shouldn't the king's virtue be the best in the world? Your Majesty used it against the son-in-law before he could find out the reason. Why does His Majesty want to blame the prime minister for the crime of lynching and the serious injury and paralysis of the son-in-law?"

With his hands tightly clenched inside his big red sleeves, the emperor cast a gloomy and displeased face, "Buy another courtyard outside the captain's residence, raise singers and dancers in the courtyard, and give birth to illegitimate children with the outer chamber. This is what a consort should do as a minister. Is something wrong?" The Secretary of the Imperial City presented the secret letter in the hall to show the courtiers.

"That's a loss of personal morality. It should be dealt with by the Secretary. Why is there a severe punishment?"

"Lu Shicheng grew up under Lu Xiang's knees and was taught by him since he was a child. Now his personal morality is corrupt, and he relies on his father's prestige for all kinds of deeds. Isn't this irrelevant?"

"Xunzi said that human nature is evil, but he is a nephew but not a son. The courtiers that Lu Xiang served for the country all know. How can His Majesty be accused of the fault of his brother and son, and let the court's meritorious officials feel cold?"

"Prime Minister!" the emperor said angrily, "He is the head of all the officials, and he should set an example for all the ministers, not only in the official affairs of the court, but also in the private affairs of the family."

"The Prime Minister is the head of all officials, but His Majesty is the head of all the people in the world. How can you explain that His Majesty indulges his relatives to disrupt the court and encourage the trend of clinging to the court? What His Majesty did is really not what a Mingjun did."

When the green robe confronted the court, Bai Li froze his face, "How come the Prime Minister has become silent all these years? This is not like your style. Looking at this young Zuo Sijian, it reminds Xiaguan Shu quite looks like when he just became an official, Prime Minister..."

Before the official finished speaking, Chen Yu stepped out holding the wat board and said, "I think the son-in-law is at fault, but His Majesty has already punished him by stripping him of his position as a lieutenant and serving as a court staff, and now the princess has also been admitted This matter should be exposed right now, but His Majesty still wants to hold on to the prime minister who has made great contributions to the country, is there any selfishness in it?"

There were whispers among the officials, "Lu Xiang is a great hero who assists you, and is also your Majesty's teacher..."

Chen Yu said again amidst the discussion: "Whether you should be convicted or not is better to ask Wutai, and ask the judicial officer who supervises all bureaucrats."

"No!" The green robe objected: "The head of Yushitai, Yushi Zhongcheng, is ordered by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, there is a performance from Yushitai." Jiang Luochuan stepped out with a stern face, bowed and said, "Yushitai believes that Prime Minister Lu should not be punished, let alone... lynching the son-in-law. For a big thing, if you don’t know how to do it, you can’t do it. If you don’t have it, you’ll be hidden from above, and if you don’t have it, you’ll be chaotic.” Jiang Luochuan raised his head and looked into the emperor’s angry eyes.

Han Si, who originally wanted to speak, stopped because of Yushi Zhongcheng's words. He watched the emperor shake his head on the throne to signal, so he didn't come out to speak again.

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the decree of dismissal." On the left, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who had saved six ministers from the Minister of Political Affairs, took the lead, and knelt down more than half of the civil servants.

Looking down from the throne, the officials in red, purple and green costumes who knelt and kowtowed in the hall can be seen very clearly. Except for Xiao's relatives and most of the generals who stood unwaveringly, the other civil servants saw the prime minister's power and hesitated one after another. Kneeling down, the emperor smiled suddenly on his calm face, stood up from his seat and said: "My gentlemen, are you in a hurry? I haven't finished my words yet." As he said, the emperor walked down the steps while laughing, "Mr. Lu Serving Emperor Taizong, Wuzong and the three dynasties of our country, he is the elder of the country, how can I be so unreasonable and implicate the prime minister of the country because of a trivial matter?" The emperor bowed his waist and lifted Lu Wei up, and his scarlet sleeves fell to the ground. It also blocks the light on both sides of Lu Wei.

Lu Wei raised his head, and the monarch and his ministers faced each other, except for his deep eyes, but his face was full of smiles, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

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

After Shuoshen, the emperor summoned Jiang Luochuan, the censor Zhongcheng, in the Chuigong Hall.

"Officials, Yushi Zhongcheng has arrived."

Jiang Luochuan walked into the hall with steady steps, "Chen Yushi Zhongcheng kowtows to His Majesty, and wishes His Majesty all blessings."

Enduring the anger brought back from the Zichen Palace, the emperor leaned on the armrest of the throne, "I never thought that you would become the prime minister."

The Jishou official raised his head, "As a law enforcement officer, I only act according to the law."

"is it?"

"Yes."

The emperor got up from his seat, took the memorabilia on one side and walked down the hall steps, "You know that he is the minister of power, and you know that I'm looking for his faults, what exactly are you going to do, what do you want?"

Jiang Luochuan kowtowed again, "The Yushitai confronts the prime minister, and the prime minister's mistakes can be investigated by the Yushitai."

"Oh..." The emperor suddenly came back to his senses, "You don't distinguish between public and private affairs for the Liu family. You resent me and want to blackmail me into giving you a marriage?"

"If His Majesty wants to think so, I have nothing to say."

"Isn't it? Why did I call you back to cause trouble for myself?"

"Your Majesty can dismiss ministers."

"Remove?" The emperor threw the memorandum submitted by the admonishment court to deprive his relatives of meritorious service and receive a noble salary in front of Jiang Luochuan, "I have something to do with the prime minister, can I still dismiss you? Do you know what they want me to deal with once you give in? Your sister's father's family!"

Jiang Luochuan made up his mind, "As long as Your Majesty refuses, no matter how many memorials you submit, it will be of no avail. Your Majesty's unhappiness can also be bestowed on the dead minister."

The emperor clutched the crimson skirt, stared and said angrily: "Are you deliberately going against me?"

"I dare not."

She then pushed him away, "You dare not, well, I won't touch you at all, but as long as I'm here, you can never get Mrs. Liu, even if she wants to in the future."

The two extreme people of similar age looked at each other without giving in.

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

After Jiang Luochuan left, the memorials piled up on the case and the table were overturned, and the servants outside the palace were so frightened that they knelt down.

Qi Liu didn't see the emperor when he came in, so he walked a few steps forward, only to find that the emperor was sitting on the floor next to the throne, and stepped forward in shock, "Why are the officials sitting on the ground?" Paved with cold and hard bluestone, it was bitingly cold in early spring, "the ground is cold."

The hat was casually thrown aside, Wei Huan held his face with both hands, and pressed his fingers firmly, the back of his hand exposed very obvious metacarpal bones due to force.

"Officials," Qi Liu saw that the emperor didn't respond, so he picked up the head and knelt in front of her, "If a saint sees this, he will definitely feel distressed."

Wei Huan raised his head and lowered his hands, his swollen eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he asked with a vague understanding, "Why do you all want to be emperor?"

The six sons held her head and bowed their heads, "There have been sayings in the past dynasties, and it is no different from the destiny. The king is entrusted with the destiny, and the villain is bold, but it is just human desires and greed. That's right."

Wei Huan got up from the ground, and Qi Liu knelt up and helped her up with his hat, "I finally understand that the most difficult thing to deal with is not the villain." It's ridiculous to oppress your righteous people."

Qi Liu raised his hand and put the hat on for him, "If the officials are sad, go back to Kunning Hall, the shoulder chariot is waiting outside the hall." He knew that only the Queen could make her happy in the huge imperial city.

The inner servant carried the shoulder chariot into the inner palace from the inner court, and the servants around the empress arrived at the Kunning Hall before this.

"Sage." Zhao Ping walked into Kunning Hall.

Xiao Youqing rolled up a scripture, "The result of the debate?"

"Yes, as the sage expected, Lu Lianlian submitted three letters to the court to resign, which caused courtiers to go to the court one after another to say that it is unfair for the officials to punish the son-in-law if they don't listen to dissuasion. Tabloids slandered merchants who falsified facts, and impeached the negligence of the Central Palace. His Majesty summoned Hanlin scholars to draft Baima last night. The Prime Minister is also exposed to the court."

"Censor Zhongcheng?" Xiao Youqing stood up, "Which Yushi Zhongcheng?"

Zhao Ping bowed his waist, "Young Master."

Xiao Youqing sat down, very puzzled: "Why?"

"A person who used to sacrifice his life to defend the officials in the court..." Xiao Youqing suddenly realized something, "Because Mrs. Liu couldn't get what he asked for, so it became his obsession?"

"Perhaps not entirely. The sage also knows that the young master was taught by the old grandpa when he was young."

Xiao Youqing stood up and slowly walked out of the pavilion, "No one can compare with Weng Weng in terms of strict laws, so Weng Weng doesn't like the third uncle who has no limits."

The shoulder chariot passed through the arch on the north side and entered the inner palace where there were no imperial troops and even fewer servants. The emperor leaned against the handrail and pulled a stiff face. His eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and his brows also frowned. deeper.

【"Your Majesty loves his family, but he must not forget the law..."】

【"You can't punish a doctor, Your Majesty uses the power in his hands to use lynching..."】

【"Indulging foreign relatives is not what Mingjun did..."】

Perhaps the late emperor also endured the insults of his courtiers when he was scolded for the first time many years ago, but the prince who did not participate in politics did not know that.

The servants had just entered the courtyard of the Palace of Kunning with the imperial servants, when the emperor's trembling hand resting on the handrail suddenly dropped.

Coincidentally, Xiao Youqing who came out of the hall saw her dazed face and rushed to support her just before she was about to fall, "Official." Xiao Youqing panted and said, "Put down the sedan chair quickly."

Xiao Youqing picked up the man from the chair, and asked the emperor's left and right servants and Dianzhi, "Where's Qi Neishi?"

Master Attendant knelt on the ground, "The official ordered him to leave the palace just now."

Xiao Youqing hugged him into the hall by the waist, and said anxiously: "Go to Xuan Hanlin Medical Officer Sun Hongda."

"Yes."

The person in his arms gradually woke up, and immediately opened his eyes, "No need." He wrapped his arms around Xiao Youqing's neck, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Sister, let me down, I'm fine."

Xiao Youqing let go of her hand cautiously, "Let Imperial Physician Sun come over to feel the pulse, the officials are really worried about the officials, and the officials are afraid."

The person who came down from Xiao Youqing's arms reached out to stop her shoulders and buried her head in her neck without saying a word.

The courtiers and servants of the two palaces of Funing, Kunning and Ning looked at each other and then retreated from the courtyard.

----------

Shuo Shen left, and Liu Shubo was pestered and interrogated by his daughter after returning home from Da Nei.

"Shuowang's discussion is a court secret..." Seeing the urgency in his daughter's eyes, Liu Shubo could only sigh in compromise, and relayed what happened in Zichen Palace today.

"According to what father said, wouldn't Prime Minister Lu also become a powerful minister like the Cui family?"

"He is the second Cui family, so the officials support his relatives. This is very similar to what the late emperor did."

"Daddy thinks the officials are really afraid of the Prime Minister?"

Liu Shubo was stunned: "Otherwise?"

"The officials hold the military power, and the relatives are the most important. He dismissed Lu Xiang just to see the attitude of the courtiers. Now that the military and politics are equal, who dares to say that the relatives are more important?"

Mrs. Liu walked to the window on the north side and looked at the grass that had just grown in the courtyard, "But as an ambitious emperor, it still hurts to see the courtiers forming cliques like this."

Liu Shubo stroked his beard and thought about it for a while, walked to Liu's side and closed the window tightly and said: "From now on, you and my father and daughter can talk about this kind of thing behind closed doors, and don't mention it to others, not even your brother."

Liu nodded, "My daughter knows."

Liu Shubai sighed and said: "If the balance of military power is what the officials want to see, then the rebellion of Yu Shi Zhongcheng will really make the officials feel sad. After all, they are supported by one hand, and the sudden change is unimaginable."

Mrs. Liu didn't take it seriously, and turned down her formerly indifferent face, "The Jiang family are all hypocrites in the first place, and the words "unable to ask for it" are the best weapon to defeat people's hearts."

Liu Shubai put one hand behind his back, "Are you still caring about your mother?" Then he shook his head helplessly and said, "One lie needs another lie to complete, and in the end more and more weave into a net that ruins yourself. In fact, Qishan's life It's not that bad as my father said, on the contrary, compared to the endless battles in the court, it's not a good place to end up in a quiet corner."

"Father never wanted to bring his daughter to Beijing, so the daughter thought that she would spend her whole life with her father in Qishan, and her husband and son would spend the rest of her life..."

"What's so good about this place? Since it's an old grievance, let it go. We old people don't want to mention it anymore. You young people should live more recklessly."

"Weifu and Jiang Zhongcheng have worked together for quite a while, and he is known as a father, so he has never objected to your association."

"Even if she dies, my daughter will not step into the Jiang family's door!"

The author has something to say: Everyone is a villain~

Please keep the comment area harmonious and don’t be overly aggressive. What Jiang Zhongcheng said is not wrong in light of the times. If you speak for the emperor, that would be partiality.

There are very few descriptions of the Liu family. (The magistrate of Fufeng was greedy for his family’s property before.) Liu Shubai’s father and daughter lied to the heroine. Liu has been in Qishan for many years. So many years in a small county.

The people here have many faces, hypocritical shells, the emperor didn't think he was kind and loyal.
