female concubine

In October of the eighth year of Qianyuan, Dali Temple's picket office in Beijing returned to Yushitai, and the office was withdrawn from the pavilion. The emperor personally promoted Wang Wenfu as Yushi Zhongcheng and Jiang Luochuan to take charge of Yushitai.

Since the Shuowang period, the emperor only received ministers in the Funing Hall or the Chuigong Hall, but most of the time they were in the Funing Hall. Since the Reform Day, the number of guards in Beijing and the Forbidden City in the Imperial City has more than tripled.

Han Si took the military report and entered Funing Hall, "Official House."

"North, or West?"

Han Si submitted a confidential letter, "Going back to the official's house, it's in the north. Emperor Yelushu of the Northern Liao Dynasty is seriously ill."

The emperor sat on the chair in the desk and rubbed the back of his hands, "During the three-year court meeting in Qianyuan, the ministers came back and said that the prince of Beiliao was an incompetent and tyrannical mediocrity."

"there's one more thing."

"Ok?"

"Before the Emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty became seriously ill, his brother Yelufang was hunted down by assassins."

The emperor put his hands on the table and propped his head up and asked, "What does Jingming think about this matter?"

"The Generalissimo of the World's Army and Horses was assassinated, but after the unsuccessful assassination, the Emperor of the Beiliao Dynasty became seriously ill. The officials thought it was an internal dispute, and it was very likely that Yelushu sent people to do it secretly."

"Kings have always been afraid of people with high achievements. If the crown prince of the Northern Liao Dynasty is a mediocre person, leaving Yelufang will be a thorn in his heart. The succession of the new king will inevitably lose power. It seems that the internal affairs of the Three Kingdoms are not good. They are as stable as they appear on the surface." The emperor narrowed his deep eyes.

"After one year of political reform, the country has expanded its armaments. This autumn, only one year's worth of food in the treasury will be enough for the country to use for ten years."

"If a war is launched, how long can the country support it with its current spare power?"

"Two years."

"I don't understand military affairs, I only know the cruelty of war, but I have a reason to fight, two years is enough to destroy a country?"

Han Bang shook his head, "Although the Northern Liao Dynasty was severely damaged by the late emperor, its foundation is strong. There are more than ten tents under the royal court, each of which has the power to fight. Maybe we can start with Hexi first. The Xixia court has been declining in recent years. □Ning, the power in the hands of his coach has been cut back and forth by the King of Xixia over the years, and the Yeli family has risen since then."

"He'd better kill his own uncle." The emperor stopped suddenly, "When I returned to the court, I promised one person that as long as he stayed in Xixia for one day, Wei Song would never raise troops..."

"The official said it was the woman who saved you?"

The emperor broadened his forehead, "Yes."

"If there is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, will the officials hesitate?"

The emperor was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Did Jingming forget, I am not a gentleman, I have deceived too many people."

Han Si lowered his head, curled the corner of his mouth lightly and said, "There is one person, the official will not lie."

"Really?" The emperor opened a painting that was sitting quietly in the painting courtyard next to the imperial case, "but we started because of a deception."

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

Since the beginning of Qianyuan, Zishantang has allowed princesses and clan women to study in it except for the prince.

The straight-talking official took a book and wandered among the seats of the princes and princesses, "The king is benevolent to the people, saves punishment, reduces taxes, and makes it easy to cultivate. The strong use their spare time to cultivate their filial piety, loyalty and trust, and serve their fathers and brothers. Go out to serve his superiors, so that he can make stiles to attack the strong armor of Qin and Chu, so that he can't cultivate his parents, his parents are cold and hungry, his brothers and wives are separated, he is drowning in his people, and the king goes to conquer them. The husband who is the enemy of the king said: The benevolent is invincible, the king should not doubt it."

"To serve his father and brother..." Wei Zhen looked sideways at the book, and then turned to the direct speaker, "Sir."

Straight speaking put down the book and raised his head, "Master, please speak."

"If the father is not loving... the son, should he be filial?"

Straightforwardly speaking, holding a book in one hand and stroking the white beard in the other, the incident between the biological father of the Yichun county master and the eldest princess caused a lot of uproar in the past, "The kindness of parental upbringing, Haotian has nothing to do with it. Yu De, it is only natural for a son to be filial to his parents."

"However, they never asked me, do I really want to be their child... and why do I have to be restrained by etiquette and morality?"

"This..."

Wei Zhen said again: "Lao Tzu once said that if you are superior to virtue, you are virtuous; if you are inferior to virtue, you are not virtuous... Therefore, if you lose morality, you will gain virtue, if you lose virtue, you will be benevolent, if you lose benevolence, you will be righteous, and if you lose benevolence, you will be righteous." Righteousness is followed by propriety, the husband's propriety, loyalty and trustworthiness are thin and chaos is the first; fore-knowledge, the Tao is the brilliance and the ignorance begins; it is a man who treats the thick, not the thin, and the truth, not the splendor; so go to the other Take this."

"Where did the county master learn this?"

"I saw that my mother often copied the scriptures, so I saw it from above." Wei Zhen raised her brows, "In addition to etiquette and the so-called benevolence and righteousness, shouldn't we pay more attention to being honest and honest, not to be weak, to be simple in heart, not to be vain magnificent?"

Looking at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who looked like an adult, the straight official folded his sleeves and bowed: "Today is the next official to be educated." Then he straightened up, turned his back and walked around: "Abandon vanity and take simplicity and truth." It is what we should do. The reason why we can’t become saints is that we can’t do this. People’s desires are endless, and they are driven forward by interests. But without this desire, how can this country develop? "

"Students must remember that everything complements each other, there is no absolute right and no absolute wrong."

"Brother Zongren." Zhao Xi tugged at the young man sitting next to him who was listening carefully, "I'm hungry."

The boy turned his head and whispered: "Xi'er is obedient, and I will take you to eat delicious food after the teacher finishes this class."

The girl sitting crookedly at the front suddenly turned around and lay down on her brother's table, "Brother, Ruhua wants to eat too!"

Said Zhiguan lowered his head and coughed a few times, "Ahem."

"That's the end of this lesson. Please copy what you learned today, the king of the county, add notes and understanding, and give it to the old man."

Wei Zongren stood up and closed his narrow sleeves and bowed in response, "Yes, sir, go slowly."

"Sir is an elder, so you can't interrupt when you give a lecture next time."

Princess Fuqing pouted, "Oh."

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

One year after the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty died of illness, her grandson Zhang married Cao Ji, the youngest son of Hangzhou Zhizhou.

In the Hall of Funing, the emperor was lying on his side in a chair in casual clothes, looking lazily at the memorial.

"Wang Zhongcheng entrusted the academician Zhang to come forward and say that he will dismiss the Jianyuan and put the duties of the Jianyuan under Zhongshu and the two provinces under his sect."

The emperor combined the memorials, "Since the Taizong Dynasty, the Admonition Court has not been subordinated to other bureaus but has become independent. If it is subordinated to the Zhongshu sect, then the prime minister will have no restrictions? Do you only rely on Yushitai?"

"So what does the official mean?"

"This one doesn't work."

"Yes."

In November of the eighth year of Qianyuan, the courtiers knelt in front of Hantong gate, and all the admonishers including Su Yu jointly wrote a letter to impeach Zuo Xiangfang Zhiyan, counted his faults and asked to be dismissed. He requested dismissal on the grounds of his juniority.

"I invite the emperor to come out and preside over the government."

Han Si walked out of Funing Hall with his sleeves folded.

"Deputy Han Shu..."

"Ministers, go back. Your Majesty is determined to change the system. If you want to resign, you can hand in the letter of resignation. Since the establishment of the imperial examination, the country has no shortage of capable people. It is useless for you to kneel until dark."

"Then, Your Majesty, please come and discuss matters with your ministers. Since the founding of the Wei Song Dynasty, which king has not been conscientious and diligent in governing the country, and even the first emperor will participate in the court tomorrow..."

Threats of resignation are still effective, Han Si said coldly: "Your Majesty doesn't want to come out, don't you have any idea? Instead of arguing uselessly for your own interests here, scholarly anger, and showing off for a while, it's better Why don't you go back and wash yourself up and think about what you should do."

Su Yu knelt and got up from the ground, "I thought that Your Majesty reformed the system for the sake of the people of the world, but now His Majesty uses the reform to amass the wealth of the world, and takes advantage of this to suppress the courtiers, and has already completely forgotten the system established by Emperor Tai Zugao. "

"A ruler who doesn't look up to the sky, doesn't look down on people, doesn't listen to the advice of his courtiers, and is arbitrary, how can such a monarch rule the world well?" Su Yu knelt down again with the wat board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Minister Zuo Si Admonishing Su Yu, I implore Your Majesty to give you an answer."

"Ministers said that the imperial court was accumulating money, and I would like to ask, why does Your Majesty need so much money for sitting in the country? Is it because the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River to squander it or take it as his own and reward him wantonly?"

Han Bang approached and bowed his head, and said, "Is there any official from the household department among you, can you tell me where the money collected by the court went?"

The official kneeling facing the floor looked sideways, then raised his head and said, "All have entered the treasury."

"Where are you going?"

"Sixty percent of the military equipment, the rest is kept for use in case of emergencies."

"The country collects money for the country. What do the merchants make profit for? For the country? There are many of you who collude with merchants and people. Don't think that you can make it airtight. It's not that the Imperial City Secretary doesn't have eyes. Officials are also like mirrors in their hearts.”

The questions and answers between Han Bo and the officials made many officials waver in their determination to oppose, "It is an act of a wise monarch to rectify the government and clean up the bureaucracy. However, the country has only been peaceful for more than [-] years. During the Wuzong period, the military and military made the people miserable. into turmoil..."

"Five chaos and chaos have caused the Han land to be torn apart. You are afraid of war, and you are afraid that you will not be able to keep the wealth in your hands, so you can endure humiliation." Han Bang lowered his eyes, "But the emperor can't."

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

At the end of the eighth year of Qianyuan, a fast horse galloped eastward from the northwest along the Weishui River. The servant with his back facing Zhaoxia rode out of the city from Da Nei to Wansheng Gate in the west of the city. The winter wind blows over and over again to the corridors connecting the inner palace to the outer palace.

Stepping forward in a hurry against the wind, the clothes were blown tightly against the cold wind, the servant's chest was heaving violently, and he walked into the corridor panting heavily, and soon after seeing many noble ministers kneeling near the Hetong Gate today, he went He quickened his pace.

"Official house, the corridor of the inner court hall..." Xue Jin bowed and pointed in the direction of the Hetong gate outside the hall.

"If they love to kneel, let them kneel. It's best to submit their resignations. I will never keep them, let alone make concessions."

Xue Jin bowed and approached and said in a low voice, "We have news from Xixia."

"What's the matter?"

"There was a turmoil in Xixia. The power minister of Xixia, Mo Ning, ordered Wei Mu to rely on the power of the queen mother, which made the king of Xixia dissatisfied. , and then ordered to wipe out all the mother and uncle's clan, not only deposed the queen, but also...poisoned the biological mother, the Queen Mother Weimu."

The emperor looked at Xue Jin in shock, and said in shock: "Poison for the birth mother?"

"Not only that," Xue Jin submitted the secret letter, "The Western Xia King Li Yuanhao's favorite concubine Ye Lishi instigated a divorce, causing Li Yuanhao to execute the deposed queen in public, and he did it himself. The news was just received at Chenshi today. Counting the time, it should be seven days ago."

The emperor looked at the densely packed small characters on the secret letter, and immediately took a few steps back trembling, sat down panting and asked with his head sideways: "Mother of birth, wife of married hair, is this person a human?"

Xue Jin approached quickly and patted the emperor on the back lightly, "He is a narrow-minded person."

"I have a dog, and after kicking it, it will still wag its tail and beg for mercy. My biological father wanted me to die several times, but I still feel distressed when I see him in pain, and I still can't do it when I know he is still threatening. , doesn't he have a heart?"

"I really can't figure out how twisted my heart is to poison my biological mother. Li Yuanhao has been favored since he was a child, and Queen Mother Wei Mu is not indifferent to him. He..."

"This means that the winner of the foreign race is respected by the king and the strong, and the family affection above the king's power is not worth mentioning. At the same time, we can also know that although Li Yuanhao has ambitions, he does not have the heart of an emperor. Harm, it won’t be a big deal.”

"But he is more ruthless than the emperor, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big mess. Let Deputy Han Shu come to Funing Hall again."

"Yes."

"Call Lu Xiang here too."

"Yes."

The author has something to say: The county lord of Yichun is Wei Zhen, and that sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching.
