female concubine

Zhang Hou walked into the Chuigong Hall calmly with his personal note in his arms, and saw the emperor standing with his back to the door of the hall, looking down at the table case as if he was flipping through something.

"Chen, Zhang Hou, who is in charge of the living and personnel affairs, kowtows to His Majesty, and wishes His Majesty all blessings."

The emperor turned around, stared blankly at the beautiful young Tingkui in front of him, and said in harmony, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor walked back to his seat, and when Zhang Hou wanted to say something, the emperor stepped ahead of him and asked, "Is it okay to be an official?"

"Thanks to Heaven's grace, my minister..." Zhang Hou raised his head slightly, "Your Majesty, is there a mistake in the selection of Ting Kui? Wang Wenfu's knowledge and literary talents are all above this minister..."

"The test papers for the provincial candidates are all sealed by the editor, and the rankings are agreed upon by all the examiners. It is only when the name is called in the Chongzheng Hall that the winner of the court will be known. Do you feel that I have misjudged?"

Zhang Hou knelt down and said, "I dare not."

"Appoint people on their merits, choose talents or choose talents. I have my own considerations. Why should you underestimate yourself if you can enter the Imperial Academy and stand out in the provincial examination?"

"I just don't want the Lord Ming to miss his good minister."

"Although Tingkui is you, isn't he also on the gold list?"

"The subject is stupid."

The emperor looked at the courtier who kowtowed again, "In fact, Zhang Qing knows what I mean."

Zhang Hou raised his head, hesitated for a while and then said: "If the minister is not the son of the servant, is Tingkui Wang Tongpan? Will your majesty treat the minister as if protecting Wang Tongpan?"

"You are Tingkui because of yourself and not your father. I can't be absolutely fair, but I can guarantee that the Jinshi on this list will get the treatment you deserve. Whatever position you are in, you should do what you want I will not give up another person because of one person."

After hearing the emperor's explanation, Zhang Hou lowered his head, "I am ashamed."

"You can win the leader without being arrogant, and you can also reflect on yourself from it, which is enough to prove that my choice is right." The emperor put a letter on the table.

The servant picked it up and handed it to the kneeling living roomer.

"You can take a look at the letter submitted to me about the appointment of Qionglin Yan by Yousi."

The servant took the daily life note from Youshi's hand, and the person who freed his hand opened the letter, "Handling the daily life note is the same as the daily life note of the fellow practitioners, not the manager of the third hall, the secret pavilion, or above, and the senior Jinshi, the background of the system, etc. Those with talent and hope cannot take up the position, although their rank is low, their status is equal to that of foreign officials, and now His Majesty confers a junior official with low qualifications..."

The emperor's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The first emperor also received the same invitation, but he was suppressed and ignored. I am a reasonable person. I don't force or force. Left and right history is to exclude the servants. The official who is closest to the emperor outside of the personal guards, it is up to you whether to be an official or not."

"Since I have received the imperial edict, I dare not resist it." Zhang Hou returned Zha Zi.

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

On the first day of April in the third year of Qianyuan, Shuoshen, Zhang Hou, the living housekeeper, stayed on the value until the palace gate was about to close before returning home.

There are many people in the Zhang residence, but it is not lively. The Zhang family is dignified but not rich. His aunt, who had always been indifferent and even despised him, would greet him with a smile.

"Ouch, our family's Shiro is back." Zhang De's first wife walked forward with a smile.

Zhang Hou didn't make any accompanying smiles, but closed his eyes and bowed with the sleeves of his official uniform, "I've seen my mother."

"Siro hasn't eaten dinner since he came back from Ouchi, right?"

Zhang Hou straightened up, "The official's family used to keep their son in Da Nei." Immediately, he saw the boy carrying a load of wine decorated with flowers, and wondered, "What do you do with the wine at home? Aren't the three elder brothers all married? Is it?"

"Shiro High School is naturally your great joy. Your father is in the study and is waiting for you to come back to discuss this matter with you."

"Siro is back?" The plainly dressed woman came out from the end of the corridor, she was much younger than Zhang's original wife, and beside her was a young woman whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of the sixteen-seven-year-old woman, who turned to him, " Brother." I saw my aunt said reluctantly again, "Mother."

"Mother, younger sister." The two brothers and sisters were not favored at first, but now they are much better because of Zhang Hou.

The woman stepped forward quickly, "I heard they said that today is the new ginseng, which is different from usual, and all the officials and civil and military officials are here. Can you get used to it on the first day?"

Zhang Hou supported his biological mother and shook his head gently, "Mother, Shuoshen just has more people, and there is no need for the child to do unnecessary things. The child is fine. The official family is a benevolent king, and will not punish the ministers at will."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Mrs. Zhang looked at the harmony between the mother and the child and said: "When Shiro saw the young lady, did he forget that the adults are still waiting in the study?"

"Mother, I'll go see my father and I'll be back in the yard in a while."

"it is good."

Zhang Hou came back without even changing his official uniform, so he rushed into the study under the urging of his aunt, straightened the lapel of the official official uniform, lifted the cloth up the steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, and said, "My lord."

——Boom! ——

"Come in."

Zhang Hou pushed the door open and walked in, seeing the old man with gray temples sitting on a desk chair with his head bowed and writing.

"came back?"

"I'm back." Zhang Hou walked forward slowly.

Zhang De raised his head, his eyes were full of green clothes, and immediately put down his pen and bowed his head and said, "I have something to tell you."

Zhang De took out a small post under the book and pushed it to the table.

Zhang Hou slightly squinted his eyes and stepped forward to pick it up, hesitantly watching his father about to open the post, on which his identity, property, official position and three generations of great-grandfather were written, he said in a panic, "My lord?"

"The woman is the concubine daughter of Prime Minister Ji Xian, only a few years younger than you..."

"I don't want to marry. At the beginning, the father let his son enter the Imperial Academy. The son listened to you and went to the house. Now that the son has won the first prize by himself, isn't the father satisfied?"

"You have been smart and diligent since you were young, and you are better than your elder brothers. It is because of your father that you were admitted to the Imperial Academy. Fang Zhiyan is also from a famous family, and his first wife came from a noble family. If you hadn't won the number one prize, he might not I will be willing to marry my daughter-in-law to you."

"Even if he is willing to have a son, he is not willing."

"There is no discussion on this matter. Marriage matters are the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is not up to you."

Zhang Hou clutched his cuffs, "Adults are always like this. You don't ask your son about anything and make all the plans for your son."

Zhang De sat on the chair with a sullen face and said earnestly: "One day you will understand the painstaking efforts of being a father."

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

A new family has moved into the alley where the mansion of Jixian Prime Minister Fang Zhiyan is located. The house is opposite to Fang’s house. The house was renovated as early as the beginning of the year, and the old plaque was not replaced until April. House.

Firecrackers were crackling in front of Huo's house, and many Sanya and Imperial City Imperial Guards and dispatchers came in to congratulate one after another.

"Congratulations to Captain Xi for moving to a new house."

"Congratulations to Commander Huo on his housewarming."

"Be polite, this is a gift from the emperor."

When Huo Qing and his dispatcher thanked him, they saw a familiar figure riding a horse into the alley, and they smiled and went forward to lead the horse for him, "Hey, are you all right, Mr. Xue, why don't you want to come here?"

"I'm not on duty today. If Commander Huo doesn't welcome you, then you can go back."

"Oh no, that's just what I said casually."

Xue Jin jumped off his horse, looked at the location of the alley and the eye-catching square characters on the opposite side, "The housing prices in the inner capital are very expensive, and the officials are willing to do so."

"Lieutenant Huo." A female envoy from Fang's house came forward with a basket, "This is a snack made by my girl herself. Congratulations on moving to your new home."

Huo Qing glanced sideways at the house, "Did Miss Fang make it herself?"

The envoy nodded, and Huo Qing rubbed his hands and happily took it, "Then I have to taste it carefully, and I can't disappoint the little lady's heart."

After seeing the female envoy walking away, Xue Jin asked, "How did you know Prime Minister Ji Xian's daughter?"

"Hey, I moved in a month ago. The horse in their family was trampled, and the coachman couldn't control it. When I saw it, I subdued the frightened horse. Who knew that Miss Fang was sitting in the cart." Huo Qing smirked while talking.

"No wonder it is said that stupid people are blessed with stupidity."

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

One month later, on the fifth day of May in the third year of Qianyuan, when it was the Dragon Boat Festival, a special state banquet was held in the Daming Hall.

The servant stepped up the steps of the imperial throne built in the temporary pagoda, walked to the emperor's side and bowed his waist, saying: "There is news from Shen Guogong's mansion that the clan's wife may not be able to come to the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Duke Shen's clan wife?" The emperor seemed to have seen these words on the clan genealogy, but his memory was very vague. "Which branch of the clan is Duke Shen?"

"Have the officials forgotten?" Xiao Youqing brought a plate of lychees on ice to the emperor, "Shen Guogong is the third eldest grandson of his younger brother. When the official family was still the king, he often went to the palace to pay his respects. He was sick last year. The dead official also quit court for him."

The emperor thought of such a thing, "Oh, it turned out to be Shen Guogong's widow."

Qi Liu replied: "Yes, my wife was pregnant when the Duke passed away, and this month is the month of childbirth."

"That's it..." The emperor looked at the steaming lychee, "Let the medical officer from the Hanlin Medical Academy who is proficient in gynecology wait at the Duke's mansion, and send someone to the mansion to take a look and bring some things over there."

"Yes."

On the court, all the guards and personal officials with turbans on horseback are chasing. They are divided into two teams, each wearing different colored uniforms, and the roles of the teams are written on the front and back of the skirts.

As the number of flags planted on both sides of the court increases or decreases, the gap also widens,——哐! ——With a sound of a stick drum, the winner is already divided.

The ball head wearing a blue brocade robe jumped off the horse panting, wiped the sweat from his forehead and cupped his hands to a bearded man who was soaked all over his body, "Commander Huo's bravery has been seen today."

Huo Qing patted Qiutou on the shoulder, "I can serve the officials here because of my kungfu."

The emperor leaned against the yellow tent on the front and asked, "What do you think of this Huo Qing, Your Majesty?"

"The official family likes it, but I still say the same thing. The official family is now the emperor, so they should avoid interacting with people of unknown origin."

"My son knows."

On the left side of the court are the seats of civil servants and ministers. Sitting behind his father, Mrs. He sometimes looks at the competition on the court and sometimes looks at the throne.

Tai Changqing leaned back slightly, "Now I'm watching Ju Wenying, so I can pay more attention to the young gentlemen who are attending the banquet today..."

"Daddy," He interrupted his father's words, "my daughter won't marry."

"Daddy didn't tell you to marry, he just chose to see if there is someone he likes."

The chamberlain brings the winning team to the imperial court.

"What does Huo Qing want? Since I set this lottery as the winner's choice, I will allow you to beg. Whatever I can offer, I will not refuse."

Huo Qing rubbed his head, and said bluntly: "If the house has a horse and a horse, it will be a big miss."

Huo Qing's straightforward and sincere words made the players beside him burst into laughter.

"Oh?" The emperor smiled and said, "Lieutenant Huo, who is carefree, also has a love for his children?"

"The minister is a man anyway, besides serving His Majesty and Song Dynasty, he also has family protection in his heart."

The emperor looked at the two sides on the left, "Okay, Huo Qing has a crush on someone's girl, and tell me."

Huo Qing looked straight at the prime minister's account on the left hand side of the emperor, "I want to marry the prime minister's young daughter."

The emperor frowned slightly, "You dare to ask."

All the ministers know that Huo Qing entered the Imperial City Department from an unknown soldier and became the emperor's confidant. He was not born with fame, but he was reused by the emperor. He is the No. [-] scholar, and the upstart military officer is undoubtedly him, so no one dares to laugh at his blunt words.

"His Majesty."

Prime Minister Kuimen walked out of the tent from Fang Zhiyan's side, "Not long ago, Quan Zi and the young daughter of Prime Minister Jixian had a marriage agreement. Although they have not been engaged, they handed in the marriage certificate the day before yesterday. The ministers and others specially reported to His Majesty and colleagues."

"..."

The author has something to say: the letter of marriage and the appointment have created a legal relationship~

Zhang Zihou is a little fan of Layman Qingshan~

Oh, by the way, Wu Zong also changed the system and reformed the law, but it failed later, and then intensified the party struggle.

Reforms will eventually turn into party struggles, and it is very difficult. I like Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng, but they did not end well, and the new laws were basically abolished after them.

Why does the heroine want to reform? In addition to her ambition, she also wants to unify the territory so that the war will cease forever (of course it cannot be permanent). The ratio of men and women will gradually restore balance (there were many men and women in ancient times, because the death rate in wars was high, and of course women in ancient times The mortality rate of giving birth is also super high) The foreign troubles are solved, and she is not afraid of other people's opposition when she opens a women's department (holding the army, no foreign troubles, killing is over, and there are always ministers who are obedient and obedient in order to survive!) Hahaha, in fact, it is considered too much It's a bit simpler, after all, this was very unrealistic in ancient times.

Note: In the previous law, women and men were fined if they did not marry when they reached the prescribed age.
