female concubine

Not long after the funeral of the prime minister's mansion, Lu Wei received a congratulatory event.

Looking at the contents printed in the Mansion Newspaper, Lu Wei slapped the table with his beard and stared and squeezed it into a ball of paper, so angry that he almost knocked over the teacup on the table.

"Tui Zhong and Collaborating are the best in the list of meritorious officials. Isn't it good for Xianggong to be rewarded for the first time?"

"Pushing loyalty? Collusion? Brightness?" Lu Wei smiled wryly, and then said coldly: "He is mocking and mocking me!"

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

In the remonstrance courtyard, the servant delivered the two residence reports to the two remonstrators, "Su Sijian, today's residence report."

"Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Shangzhu Kingdom, Qinghe County..." Su Yu looked at the news of the appointment of a minister in the mansion newspaper, "What's the trouble with the official family? It's an increase in rank and a lord, and it can't be demoted. Then we have to go the other way, isn't there a word of law in the eyes of officials?" Su Yu took a picture of the residence newspaper on the case.

Su Yu was sitting opposite an older man in green robe, "It's nothing if the prime minister confers these titles, but why didn't Lu Wei get what he should have got when he was already in the position of the first emperor?"

"What does You Sijian mean by this?"

"Su Sijian is the number one scholar on the gold list, so you should be able to see the way in it."

Su Yu picked up the mansion newspaper again and read it carefully, "The dismissal failed because the courtiers stopped it and it was not in accordance with the law. Now it is actually not in accordance with the law to seal it all at once, but no one said it."

"Prime Minister?"

The green robe stroked his long beard and squinted his eyes and smiled: "You and I can see that, it must be the case for all the ministers."

"The official has held the military power before he ascended the throne. This Lu Xiang was always cautious when he was young, how can he become confused when he is old?"

Lu Pao put down the mansion newspaper and took a sip of hot tea, "It's not just Lu Xiang who is so old and confused."

"It seems that no dynasty can escape the struggle between monarchy and prime minister."

"Let's argue. In short, the court of remonstrance is only responsible for admonishing the emperor and inspecting officials." The green robe put down the teacup and praised, "Su Sijian's tea skills are no worse than the doctors in the tea house."

"If the prime minister wants to fight for power, it is because of disobedience, but how absurd is it for the officials to let the two clans have a daughter with the mother's surname?"

"Don't you still want to impeach Mr. Lu?" Lu Pao raised his eyes, "Or question His Majesty with the imperial certificate?"

"Tomorrow is the first day of the lunar new year, and there will be New Year's Ginseng..."

"The turmoil between the government and the opposition has just calmed down. Su Sijian should calm down for a while. There are still many important things to do in March. Your Majesty wants to use Lu Shicheng to bring down the prime minister..."

"Then you can't dismiss the prime minister on the basis of an unfounded crime. If so, what do we courtiers do to persuade us? Lu Xiang is a hero who assisted the officials to ascend the throne."

The green robe shook his head, "You are more stubborn than an old man like me, and you don't know how to be flexible."

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

In late February, the Yangtze River flooded, and the dams were washed away, causing all the fertile fields downstream to be submerged. The imperial court sent envoys to the south to control the floods and appease the victims. The Imperial Court took this as a warning of divine punishment, and the Shangshu emperor successively objected to the clan’s daughters following their mothers. surname, but have not been approved.

On the third day of March, in the spring of Shangsi, the imperial court specially opened Qionglin Garden and Jinming Pool for one day to allow the families of scholars and concubines to come to the garden for an outing.

Children's laughter could also be heard from the forbidden back garden. Princess Wu's eldest daughter, Lu Zhen, held a paper kite in both hands, and looked at the girl who was pulling the wire, "Chen'er, sister, let go."

As the paper kite was thrown up, the girl who was pulling it ran forward against the wind. Immediately, a wind kite floated up by the pool in the back garden, and it was released smoothly, causing the children on the side to clap their hands.

On the other side, a huge tent was set up under the shade of the trees, and the mats were laid out on the grass. On the mats were some cloaks of lifewives.

On the south side of the back garden is the Guanjia Hall where rice is planted. The ministers and palace officials who are tidying up the farmland in the hall have detoured to avoid disturbing them when they pass by. On the north side is the Silkworm Palace. The mulberry trees planted in the palace years ago are now It has grown to the height of a person and is lush.

A small red ball went around the corridor and rolled into a hole with a flag, and the distance of several feet was also correct.

Looking at the farthest goal, Princess Wu Guochang clapped her hands and said, "His Royal Highness is worthy of being the daughter of a general. Not only is she not inferior to those men in poetry, rituals and music, even chuiwan."

Princess Qin smiled and said: "Sister, His Highness will meet more than this. I once saw His Highness riding a horse to perform a bow at the Xiao family's Dragon Boat Festival with my own eyes."

Princess Wu's eyes lit up, "Your Highness seems to be a gentle person. There are so many things I don't know."

"Second sister and fourth sister praise me so much, it makes me feel embarrassed."

"Aren't the Sixth Brothers coming for Shangsi outing today?" Several women washed their hands and walked back to the tent.

"The officials are meeting the ministers in the inner court. They should come over when they are done." The two eldest princesses sat on both sides of Xiao Youqing, looked at the children chasing and playing on the grass in front of them, and said with a sigh of relief: "This day It's finally peaceful."

"Among these children, Zhen Er is the smartest, don't think she is young."

Princess Wu Guochang shook her head lightly, "Although she is smart, she is too willful. I am afraid that I will suffer in the future."

"With officials and sages around, why should Second Sister worry?"

Xiao Youqing cut up the peeled fruit and tied it with a small bamboo stick, "Try the Ringo offered by Shandong."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"No outsiders, the two sisters don't have to be so cautious."

On the opposite side of the pool was a green robe with an easel that seemed to be painting. Princess Wu Guochang asked curiously, "Who is that? I seemed to have seen this young painter when I was in the court a few days ago."

Xiao Youqing looked at the past, "The official's newly appointed Minister of Hanlin Academy of Painting."

"Did you become a servant of the painting academy at such a young age?"

A little boy among the children looked up at the kite, and when he lowered his head, he saw the painter who was painting on the other side of the pond, and he covered the sun with his hand and called out, "Wu Neiren."

"The little guy is here."

"Have you brought an umbrella?"

"The villain goes to get it for the county king."

Mrs. Wu took out the umbrella, "Does the county king want to shade the sun?"

Zong Ren shook his head and took the umbrella, walked around to the opposite side with steady steps, "Mr. Xu."

Xu Chongju tied his waistbands, put aside his paintbrush, stood up and cupped his hands towards Zongren, saying: "I have seen the king of the county."

"Today is the sun, isn't Mr. Xu afraid of the sun?" Zong Ren opened the umbrella and walked to Xu Chongju's side, "Sit down and continue painting."

The boy with the horns pierced widened his round eyes when he saw the painting, "Are these the mother and the two aunts?" There are three women and five children flying paper kites in the painting.

"Huijun Wang is the saint and the two eldest princesses."

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

In the Chuigong Hall to the south of Funing Hall, Su Yu has been chattering since half an hour ago. The emperor stuffed the letter he presented to the upper hall into his sleeve and propped his head to listen to him.

"I didn't mention it in the Zichen Palace the day before, because I didn't want to cause controversy in the court. Since the Duke of Zhou set the ceremony, there has been no precedent for following the mother's surname, even in the royal family, and His Majesty not only let the two daughters of the clan live with their mother in the palace, but also... "Su Yu seemed to have heard the snorting from the emperor, and approached the steps, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the servant next to the emperor, "Qi knows it!"

Qi Liu regained his composure, "Su Si remonstrated and called a villain?"

"Is His Majesty asleep?"

Only then did Qi Liu turn his head, approached and called softly: "Official, official." Seeing that he couldn't wake up, he straightened up and walked down the hall steps, "Hey, last night, the official's review lasted until late at night. Shenben only meets the attendants, Su Sijian is an exception to be able to see the officials, please forgive me and please go back first.”

Holding the wat board, Su Yu raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty must take a closer look at the official's letter."

"The villain will convey it, please rest assured Su Sijian."

"My minister retire."

Qi Liu sent Su Yu away with a gloomy face and saw him go far away before returning. He walked up the hall steps and crossed his hands and said, "Officials, Su Sijian has left."

The emperor lowered his dozing hands, "His ears are almost callused. Now that he returns to the Admonition Court, he will definitely scold me for being a stubborn, selfish and inactive monarch."

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

Su Yu went back to the Jianyuan and smashed the wat board on the table, took a sip of the tea brought by the subordinate officials to moisten his throat, and immediately threw the cup on the table and said, "I am stubborn and selfish today, and I don't care about etiquette at all. What's more, there is no law to arbitrarily confer titles, and there has never been a mother's surname throughout the ages, and the royal family has set a precedent for the people, so the world will not be messed up?"

The green robe on one side felt that Su Yu was a little too aggressive, shook his head and said, "Isn't it just a change of surname, and we divorced anyway, and the royal genealogy does not record the woman's name."

"Don't talk about this, just say that His Majesty is partial. In this way, not only will it encourage the relatives, but even the noble relatives will become a domineering one."

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

In the hall, the emperor sneezed a few times when he woke up after sitting for a while.

"Officials, Xue Abbot asked to see me."

"Let him in."

"Official family, the family of Shangsiguo's uncle sent someone to Lu Xiang's mansion to deliver festival gifts, but the engagement was terminated today."

Only Qi Liu was surprised by Xue Jin's words. The emperor sat down and stroked his smooth chin, leaned on the armrest and thought for a long time, "Is there any benefit to him in retiring the engagement at this time?"

"Uncle Xiao is the elder brother of the sage. The chancellor's daughter marrying into the uncle's house should be the happiest of all. Lu Xiang loves his daughter very much, unless... it is the daughter who refuses to marry?"

Xue Jin was older than both of them, and knew a little bit about that time, "Lu Shicheng was the most favored by him, but he didn't dare to refuse Princess Shang for his son, because Princess Shang was a holy will, and let uncle Guo marry the second son of his family. The girl is also holy."

The emperor stood up on the armrest, "If I am satisfied with the status quo, I can be a teacher and student with him comfortably, but I don't want to be comfortable, so I can only be a monarch and minister. If I don't eliminate these people who cover the sky with one hand, what will I do in the future?"

"Use a strong one?" Xue Jin cupped his hands.

The emperor shook his head, "We haven't reached this point yet, the price of bloodshed is too great, and it will take several years to recover from a turmoil. How many years have I had?"

"The official family is still young..."

"Maybe one day I will be so mad at them."

The two servants looked at each other and then knelt down, "Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, it is the villains who are courtiers who are not doing well enough to make His Majesty worry."

Wei Huan took a step forward, bowed and stretched out his hand to help someone, but his elbows froze on the spot. He closed his eyes and stood up helplessly and walked towards the outside of the hall. Really...only my sister is left."

Just stepped out of the threshold of the hall and before he had time to board the chariot, he saw the purple robe walking forward outside the palace.

"Chen Han Si kowtowed to His Majesty and wished His Majesty all blessings."

The emperor turned his head and took a look at the Chuigong Palace. He felt that the inside was too gloomy, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Walk with me?"

"Yes."

"The fact that I gave the clan a daughter to follow the mother's surname seems to make them more dissatisfied than I beat the son-in-law. What does Jingming think?"

"Your boldness, if you follow the law of etiquette, this matter is treason. In terms of human feelings, the father is not kind and has never fulfilled his father's responsibilities. It is better to have a father than to have no father. I think that human feelings should be equal to the law of etiquette, and the law is just and not harsh. , it is not necessarily correct to stick to the rules, because the law is originally determined by man, who knows whether the person who first established the law is a saint, and if he is not a saint, how can he know that he will not make mistakes?"

"If those rotten scholars can understand things like Qing, I won't have to sigh every day."

"I want to ask the official to give me the right."

"Ask whatever you want, it's the same as whether you have it or not."

"It is a serious crime to ask questions before the emperor, so I dare not."

"Yes," the emperor lowered his head and sneered, "we all know that it is a serious crime to ask questions before the emperor." Thinking of Su Yu's interrogation in Shicai's palace, she lowered her face, "I finally understand why the late emperor hated officials so much, and put Tai. The rules about whether or not to kill the speaker have been changed."

"Ask, I allow you to ask."

"I would like to ask, what the officials want to do is the world's harmony?"

"On the journey of the great way, the world is one of the public," the emperor nodded and shook his head again, "The Great Harmony I want is not just brothers in the whole world, it should be all peoples in the world, but before that, we must regain the long-lost old mountains and rivers."

"All the people of the world..." The person who understood the words rolled up his sleeves, closed his eyes and bowed, "Your Majesty's thoughts are not ordinary holy masters, this is the complete public welfare, I can understand but also know that there are divergences. "

The emperor stopped and looked back at Han Bang, "You are also a Confucian scholar."

"But the minister is not a corrupt scholar."

The emperor lowered his head and smiled lightly, and walked forward: "I hope you are not trying to please me perfunctorily."

"I dare not."

The author has something to say: All are brothers in the world. I have learned this article before, and now think about it... Brothers here do not include women, and education for equality does not include women——

Chuiwan is also a kind of Cuju. Wan is a ball. Immediately called hit, (hit pill, also called hitju) on foot is called chui, chuiwan is similar to golf.

It was popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties as a competitive game, and in the Song Dynasty, it was not as competitive as it was before. It became a court entertainment and the name was changed to Chuiwan.

As for the word polo, it may not have appeared until after the Song Dynasty. At least I have read that this word does not appear in the literature about the Song Dynasty.Of course, there may be, after all, I am not an archaeologist.

Oh, there is a mistake in the last chapter. The highest prose level is Kaifu Yitong Sansi of the first rank, Tejin of the second rank, Guanglu doctor of the second rank, and Jin Ziguanglu doctor of the third rank. (It was the Wensan class in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Before that, the uncle of the country, General Yunhui, was appointed as the Wusan class. There were several reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the rank would change. It was abolished directly in Yuanfeng.) Actually, I really like Wang Anshi. , and the reforms he advocated.

I will write a little with reference to the Xining Reform.

Officials, positions, dispatches, nobles, honors, ranks, etc., one person owns a lot of these, one can imagine how rich an official is!
