female concubine

The judgment of Dali Temple was approved by the queen and the crown prince, and the emperor looked at the extra transcribed dossier in his hand blankly.

"I can't stop the rumors outside. Rather than asking you to ask, I'd rather let you know first. This person is Lu Shicheng's outer room who was raised in another courtyard. It turned out to be the lady of Lanyuelou, but was later redeemed by Lu Shicheng. Let's go, the illegitimate child who died without timely treatment was her son. At the beginning, the official family focused on Lu Shicheng and Lu Wei, thus ignoring this woman, and the concubine did not expect..." Xiao Youqing stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's hand hands, for fear that she might make any mistakes.

The emperor gently put down the file in his hand and let out a long sigh, "This female officer..." With red eyes trembling, "Because she was born in a brothel, the Secretary Ministry removed her from the admission list. It was me... I took her stayed."

Xiao Youqing immediately put her arms around the emperor, "There is nothing wrong with her birth, what is wrong is human nature, she is just her, she cannot represent all people of the same birth as her."

"I know," the emperor lowered his hands, "but in this way, those courtiers will definitely use this as an excuse again." The emperor looked out of the window, and the cold wind in the winter was howling, and he looked up to the sky again and sighed, "I can only hope that the north and south There's war."

Xiao Youqing held the emperor's hand and rubbed it lightly, "Now that Fang Zhiyan has been proven innocent, the concubine made the decision to release him and his family members. As compensation for the prison, he was given the rank of Jilu and the title of hero."

"My sister is the only person I can trust now..."

The servant hurried into the hall and stood outside the hanging bead curtain, bowing inwards and said: "Officials, ministers from all ministries are asking for an audience outside the Funing Hall. They want...they want to meet the emperor face to face in Fuque."

The emperor raised his head sideways, and when he was about to get up, Xiao Youqing stopped him, "The officials want to keep their word, and now Dalang is still in charge of the country, so let the matter of the Palace of Funing be handled by the concubine."

The emperor sat blankly, then closed his eyes and nodded lightly, Xiao Youqing called the female officer of the Shangfu Bureau, put on the crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes and the clothes, and rode to Funing Palace by chariot.

In the courtyard of the hall, a group of noble ministers carried wat boards and zhazi in their arms, and the fish in the pond were frightened and hid in the crevices of the stones.

"The saint is here!"

The courtiers turned around, looking graceful and luxurious under the phoenix crown. After being shocked for a moment, they looked around with their colleagues beside them. They were at a loss for a while, and then walked forward with the wat board in hand. "

"The war between the North and the South has not stopped, why are the ministers still here leisurely?"

The ministers and workers lay on the ground and looked sideways at their colleagues.

He lifted his head up with his palms, "Your Highness, the minister waited for Fu Que Shang Shu to persuade His Majesty to dismiss the female officer..."

"Just because of one person's fault, are you going to subjugate the emperor and threaten the emperor to abolish the system of female officials?"

"It's not just one person's fault, it's a major event for the country. The female official leaked secrets and conspired against other countries..."

"The sinner would do this because of the official family. The official family lost the support of the outer room because they protected the eldest princess. The sinner holds a grudge. It is the official family that she bears a grudge. What does this have to do with the system of female officials?"

"If His Majesty hadn't set up female officials at the beginning, the war in the southwest would never have happened. Now the whole road has been lost. The country has never lost so much land since the founding of Emperor Gao. If His Majesty insisted on letting women be officials, why would it be?" There are so many misfortunes and suspicions between the monarch and his ministers."

Wearing a heavy phoenix crown, Xiao Youqing looked down at the ministers, "According to what you said, if one day the male officials also collude with the enemy and treason, will they also be dismissed?" Then he took a step closer and pointed to the location of the Criminal Department outside the imperial city, " How many people who have committed heinous crimes are imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, do you hold them tight?"

Seeing the faces of the ministers changed, Xiao Youqing put down his hands and said angrily: "Answer Yu!" But before the minister raised his head to speak, "She was forced into this by you, do you really want to force her to death before you give up? "

All the ministers lowered their heads again, "The ministers are in panic."

"If you want to go to Fuque and see the officials, that's fine, I will pass on the memorial for you, but," Xiao Youqing said coldly, "leave the official hat at the same time, my tolerance is limited, I won't Be kind to anyone who wants to hurt the official family, I can tell you clearly that I am also a person who holds grudges, don't think that you can survive the official dynasty until the benevolent prince is in power, when the prince is in power, "Xiao Youqing Taking a step closer to the group of officials, he said with great momentum: "I am still here!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the ministers and workers in the Funing Hall left with wat boards, and when they left the hall, they were all dejected and full of helplessness and sighs.

The ministers saluted and left one after another, Xiao Youqing stood there coldly, "Jiang Shi Yushi."

The green robe who was mixed in the crowd of Fu Que was shocked, and immediately turned around and knelt down, "The censor Jiang Luochuan kowtowed to His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness will last forever."

Xiao Youqing looked coldly at the courtier kneeling in front of him, "If one day the officials want to kill you, I will not persuade anyone, even if you are the most beloved nephew of my mother."

Jiang Luochuan knelt up straight with his palms propped up, "I know, the Queen's Palace

In my eyes, there is only one member of the official family, Xiao Shi and Jiang Shi are to the current Highness Empress..." Jiang Luochuan sneered and lowered his head, "Does Your Highness still care about their survival? "

"Jiang's today is caused by you, the concubine of Jiang's family. Don't think that I don't know the dirty things behind your back when I stay in the palace with the officials all day," Xiao Youqing said before the kneeling man spoke. With cold eyes, he warned: "Don't expect to be blessed by the ancestor's precept not to kill officials, now the government is in power," Xiao Youqing turned around and stepped forward, "Anything may be exceptional."

It wasn't until Xiao Youqing left the palace that Jiang Luochuan got up to leave the wat. Immediately, he squinted his eyes and held the wat board firmly and stepped out of the Funing Hall. When he turned his head, he saw Princess Fuqing running towards the queen in the distance of the palace corridor.

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

In November of the 15th year of Qianyuan, the emperor re-administered the government. Occasional mentions of female officials in the court were suppressed by the emperor and the prime ministers and consuls of the two prefectures. In mid-November, a shelter was set up near Gyeonggi to accommodate refugees , and set up the cooked medicine office of the Taiyi Bureau in the capital, and sent medical workers on duty to inspect the common people.

In December of the same year, news of victory came from the southwest. Huo Qing led the Ma Bujun and Shenji to return to Zizhou.

Guards wearing red jackets, sleeves, leather headbands and headbands crossed their feet and headbands, riding horses to report victories in various cities, "Great victory in the Southwest, Marshal Yinping Hou Huo Qing of Pingxi Bing and Horses regained Zizhou." The news of the victory was heard everywhere in the streets, "The victory in the North , The great victory of the Xijing Road has broken through the northern Liao Zhenzhou and cut off the west of the Shangjing Road."

At the end of December, Gyeonggi sent two groups of men and horses to the south and north respectively, and the horses pulled the imperial wine and marinated meat to the front line before Zhengdan to reward the three armies.

In the 16th year of Qianyuan, Zhengdan, the switch fluttered, but only on the day of Zhengdan, the city gates could not be restrained, Beijing was under martial law, and the Imperial City Division was sent to guard. As in Shangyuan, the New Year in the Central Plains made the Civil War stop for half a month, and the northern soldiers fought in the army. Set up a bonfire and sang the battle songs of Guanzhong Qin Opera.

Dozens of bonfires were also set up in the barracks stationed in the southwest, and the cold wind howled. The commander Huo Qing and his deputy Cao Hua sat around with the soldiers, toasting and drinking, which added a little morale to the war that was about to start again. Huo Qing Qing took a jar of wine and poured it into the bowl of the general sitting beside him, "Brother Cao, come!"

Cao Hua quickly picked it up with both hands, "How can I bother the marshal to pour the wine for the general?"

"Hey, I'm a general in the officialdom, but in the battlefield, I'm a brother, and Cao's elder brother comes from a famous family, so I don't dislike a vulgar person like me."

"marshal

How can he be a vulgar person?" Cao Hua's senior Huo Qing, who has been an official for decades, admires Huo Qing's courage, "The left and right are nothing but slander by those sour Confucian scholars in the court. "

A wooden frame was set up on the bonfire, and a stove was hung under the wooden frame, in which the donated meat delivered from the capital was being boiled, and the royal wine was still warming next to it. While they were chatting and laughing, the subordinate came up to him and knelt and bowed his waist and said, "Marshal, those women in Sichuan that you rescued want to come to the army to perform music."

"Shangyuan today, okay." Huo Qing replied very quickly, and immediately stood up and said something to the soldiers, which elicited cheers.

The woman walked to the middle of the army holding the fuxiqin, followed by an attendant playing the flute and a female envoy holding the pipa, before and after Huo Qing, she said with a slight blessing: "I have seen Marshal Huo, Marshal Cao, all generals, go up!" Yuan Ankang."

Both Huo Qing and Cao Hua bowed slightly to him, "Miss Qin, Shangyuan Ankang."

Several soldiers brought up a low stool, and the woman thanked them respectively, "Thank you."

The cold north wind blew across the hills towards the camp, the woman sat down slowly, the flames were blazing, and the figure swayed slightly with the plucking of the strings, "The generals were fighting outside, and the slaves presented a song "Returning to the Field Music·Trying the Flowering Period" "Shu" hopes to end the war as soon as possible and recover the lost ground."

The female envoy holding the pipa also sat down, and the attendant raised the flute to her lips. The woman playing the qin lowered her head and plucked the strings, and the sound of the flute also sounded, "Try to count the flowering period; you will feel the mood of spring early; look at it." That is, the plum blossoms spit out; I hope the flowers will not fade, and the spring will live forever; I am afraid that the flowers will fly and go away in spring; the flowers will not say a word; if you ask this, will spring still come every year?" A frown and a smile affect people's heartstrings, "Crimson lips and green temples, less and less flowers before the lover; I remember the flowers, the old places I used to travel; outside the door, the willows are not floating."

With the minor tune of the lyrics and music, everything was silent, only the music and the sound of the bonfire whistling by the cold wind were left.

The city of Tokyo in Shangyuan night is still lively. Lanterns are hung on both sides of the imperial street. There are many juggling and singing and dancing in front of the shop. In red clothes, the party is in groups, and they go to various shops all night long to ask for food and drink.

There is still a mountain of lights in front of Xuande Building, but it is not as luxurious as in previous years. There are four jade chimes, and the actors and officials hold musical instruments, the qin

.

Under the stage, there are four singers from Yunshao Department, sitting side by side with the musicians. On the stage, there are five dancers wearing embroidered clothes and holding golden lotuses, leading the masked actors to the balcony. The jade chime was struck, and the "Lanling King Entering the Battle Song" was played in a hurry, attracting everyone's attention to the terrace, and the drums of the Jiaofang burst out.

Then there was a change of music by the Yunshao Department, and the singers sang, "Looking at the sword with the lamp in the drunk, dreaming back to the battalion of blowing the horn; Quickly, the bow is like a thunderbolt string." The syllable is loud and the tone is steady, "The king's affairs in the world are settled, and he has won the fame of life and death; the pity happened for nothing."

In front of the curtains on both sides of the terrace, there were many ministers watching, "Why did the Yunshao Department of Jiaofang choose such lyrics and music for the Shangyuan Festival?"

"North and South are at war..."

The officials shook their heads one after another, "It's not a good time to be ambitious."

"The reverse is also the same." Han Si sat among the ministers wearing a scarlet robe, "The king has ambitions, but the ministers have no intentions."

Upstairs in Xuande Tower, Princess Fuqing came to Yuqian to salute the emperor, empress and empress dowager, "Father, mother, and grandmother go to Yuan Ankang."

The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Fuqing kindly, "In the blink of an eye, even Fuqing has grown so big."

The singing of the Yunshao Department downstairs was heard upstairs, and Princess Fuqing walked to the railing, "It's obviously a cheerful drumbeat, but why do I hear a trace of sadness..."

The cries of children could still be faintly heard from downstairs. Cao Ji, the lecturer of the Crown Prince’s East Palace, Zuo Jianyi, took his daughter back to the curtain, and Mrs. Zhang, who was dressed in a woman’s attire, took her daughter, “Why are you crying?”

"Maybe I was frightened by the sound of the drums."

"She is not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, but is she still afraid of the sound of drums? It's really strange. I have rarely seen her cry since she was born, and she doesn't laugh often, and she doesn't like to talk. I wonder if this child is... .”

"What are you talking about?" Cao Ji coaxed his daughter, "Daddy's daughter is the smartest girl in the world."

"Uncle Jun is now fighting abroad, and I don't know when it will end. The good thing is that you abandon martial arts and follow literature."

Cao Ji was disappointed, "Weng Weng died in the battle, and my father also went to the battlefield, but I was the only one who was timid."

"Warriors gallop on the battlefield, but the court of civil servants may not be really peaceful. Officials have to be more careful after entering the East Palace as the crown prince's subordinates."

"Ah."
