female concubine

——Inner East Gate——

In the palace corridor of the inner court, the emperor walked in the middle with his sleeves in his arms, and the gait worn around his waist swayed slightly, making a sound of urgency and severity.

The emperor brought a group of servants to the inner east gate. The door was open during the daytime. The emperor stood on the threshold and looked at the kneeling man outside the door. He folded his wide and long sleeves and said in displeasure, "If you want to discuss matters, you can discuss them." , why kneel at the door of my house?"

"I implore Your Majesty to take back the decree of setting up women's department, clear up the court, and restore peace to the world?"

"Suppress Qing Dynasty Gang, if I remember correctly, you should still be filial. As a son of man, you are not filial to your parents. As a minister, you flirt with the king. What kind of minister are you?" The emperor stepped out of the palace gate, "You What is your identity now, dare to teach me how to govern the country?"

"All the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects. If I take off this body and run away, am I not His Majesty's subject? Or in the eyes of Your Majesty, there will always be only these women by your side. Your Majesty is too stubborn to obey Bai Is the official's persuasion so stubborn that he wants to give the world to women?"

"It's not your turn to teach me what I want to do. I just hand over the country and give it away to others. Let me tell you, I not only want to set up a women's department, but also dismiss the six female officials so that the world's scholars can serve as officials. There is no difference between conferring a marquis and worshiping a minister."

"Emperor Gao ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius at the beginning of the founding of the country, respecting literature and respecting scholars, but now His Majesty does not respect the ancestors' family law, and regards partial religion as the orthodox religion. As a ruler, he said such words to his ministers..."

"Jiang Luochuan!" The emperor stepped forward and pulled his skirt, his eyes were red with anger, "You really think I dare not kill you?"

Jiang Luochuan also stared at him, "I would rather die than live."

The emperor threw it down heavily, "Forbidden guard!"

Several guards in red and leather armor stepped forward, "Yes."

"Take him."

"The original censor, Jiang Luochuan, was suspended for mourning. It is unfilial to leave before the filial piety period is over. It is disloyal to enter the palace and disobey the king in the official uniform. He was dragged to the front courtyard of the Zichen Palace for thirty sticks and dismissed for investigation."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty also knows that disloyalty is not filial..."

"Drag it!"

The two guards quickened their pace and dragged the man to the corridor of Xuanyou Gate, leaving the emperor's sight very quickly.

——Kunning Hall——

After the emperor left, Xiao Youqing asked the crown prince, "You have always been calm, and you are definitely not the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules. Just now, when you entered the room, you were anxious and your face was filled with joy. Isn't it that good things are coming?"

The crown prince then walked up to his mother and bowed, "Madam, there will be a new addition to the East Palace."

Xiao Youqing was stunned, "When did it happen?"

"Last night, the Crown Princess said that everything she ate recently felt nauseated, so my son called the imperial physician from the Eastern Palace Pharmacy Bureau. The imperial physician said that the Crown Princess was three months pregnant."

"It's a good thing. Why didn't you tell your father just now?"

The crown prince lowered his head, "Daddy is busy."

----------

The imperial guards dragged Jiang Luochuan to the front of the Zichen Hall where Shuowang Chaoshen lived. Many officials who came and went to and from the hall made a detour, and many officials whispered.

"Isn't this Jiang Yushi keeping his filial piety in Jinling?"

"It's not that the government's establishment of women's department makes people dissatisfied. What kind of family is the Jiang family in Jinling? They are Confucian masters like the Lu family. How can they tolerate standing in the same room with women because of the influence they have received in their bones?"

The operative stood in front of the bench with his hands up, "Take off his clothes."

A few guards pinned him down, took off his crown and clothes, and then lay down on the wide stool. The guards looked at the officials passing by, and then walked up to the steps of the temple, "The former censor Shi Daixiao broke into the forbidden area privately." In the middle, wear a court staff of thirty, as a warning to others."

Some officials trembled when they heard it, so they quickened their steps and left quickly.

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

Lu Wei moved to Hangzhou with his wife to recuperate from his illness after he became prime minister. The former prefect of Hangzhou and Cao Hua, who was promoted to Liangzhe Road City Ship Secretary, put on his armor again. After that, the prefect of Hangzhou dispatched a confidant court official to take over.

The prefect of Hangzhou set up an examination room in Hangzhou and sent people to the townships and counties to inform the common people about the opening of the women's department, and it didn't take long for the news to reach Lu's residence.

Lu Wei dragged his sick body out of the box and took out the blank memorials of the old things. His wife Wang entered with a bowl of medicine. Seeing something written in the old man's hand, he put down the bowl and raised his eyebrows and said, "You still have to leave the office after you retire." Are you in charge of court affairs?"

"I never thought of officials..." Lv Wei, who was short of breath and chest tight, covered his hands and coughed several times, "The actions of officials are really unbelievable. The king's expansion of the territory is the work of all generations. After a hundred years He must become an emperor through the ages, why..."

"Didn't Wang Jiezhi, your student on the list, write in an article that people and kings get along with each other day and night, but they are just eunuchs and women; when they come out to see things, it's just the details of the department, whether they are encouraged by others or done by themselves. In short, these are not the same as now. What does it matter to you, have you seen those state officials, they were all sent out because of Shangshu."

Listening to his wife's words, the white-haired Lu Wei stopped his wrinkled hands, "It's a sin, a sin, I can see the decline of Confucianism in the imperial court."

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

Ever since Jiang Luochuan was held in front of the Zichen Palace with the court staff, no one dared to speak up and talk about women's affairs.

Chen Yu, a former member of the Privy Council who became an official, even submitted three letters, but they were all intercepted by the court.

——Dutang——

Wang Wenfu sent the selected Zhazi to the Chuigong Hall, and the rest were discarded.

"Is it all right for us to close Chen Gong's letter like this?" Zhang Hou put down his pen and asked.

"Is there anything wrong with it? Look at this statement. Can the officials not get angry when they see it? I'm also protecting Chen Gong's reputation in his later years."

In the 20th year of the Qianyuan period, examinations were held all over the country. In the early days of reformation, women took up less than one of the dozens of students participating in the examination. The imperial court ordered that all candidates, regardless of gender, be allowed to wear gowns.

At the beginning of September 20, the rankings of the local examinations were released one after another, and the Beijing government released the rankings in Kaifeng.

——Kaifeng Mansion——

To the south of Kaifeng Mansion is the Yushi Terrace, and a group of students in t-shirts are looking for their names in front of the examination list.

"No way!" Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "This year, Xie Yuan of the capital is actually a woman?"

"It's just a name, how do you know if it's a man or a woman?"

"Could it be possible that the third girl from Taichangqing's family is a man?"

A carriage was parked on the opposite side of the street, and a middle-aged man wearing casual clothes, a Chengzi scarf and a brown crane cloak got out of the carriage, "Lady, wait in the carriage, I will show you the good news for my husband."

"What's the good news? It's not certain whether you will win or not."

The husband squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What do you mean is not sure, it must be sure." Then he squeezed into the crowd of white robes with a few house children.

Numerous housechildren in white clothes and brown shirts were all concentrated in searching for the names of their masters or young masters.

"Have you looked carefully, how could I fail the ranking?" The white robe that failed the ranking grabbed the boy's brown collar.

The house boy panicked and hurriedly replied: "The little one read it three times in a row, and it is true that there is no young master's name."

The man in brown clothes squeezed out from the crowd and listened to the joys and sorrows of the students beside him, then happily walked back to the carriage, folded his sleeves with green cloth as the fringe and bowed to his wife: "The second in the capital test, Congratulations to Niangzi's high school."

The woman pulled him back into the car, "Who is Jie Yuan?"

The man straightened his clothes and spread them flat on his lap, "The three unmarried girls of Taichangqing's family, the top three in this Beijing government examination are all women."

"Top three?"

The man nodded, "There is also the eldest daughter of Ning Guojiedushi and Qin Guochang Princess."

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

In the winter of the 20th year of Qianyuan, the prefectures sent the sons of Jiejue to the capital to vote in the tribute court of the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor also issued an edict to summon only Jieyuan from all states and all female candidates individually.

Sitting next to the Crown Princess in the carriage outside the Xuande Gate was a white-robed Juzi who looked somewhat similar to her.

"Sister, this outfit is surprisingly suitable."

Zhao Chen shook his head, and reached out to touch the empress dowager's swollen belly, "Bai Pao is a scholar, next year I will be able to release the name in Chongzheng Hall, and I won't be an outsider sitting on the porch with His Royal Highness the Queen."

The concubine lowered her hands and put them on the back of Zhao Chen's, "The officialdom is dangerous..."

"Don't be afraid," Zhao Chen held the princess's hand instead, "Your Highness will be able to give birth to the emperor's grandson safely this time, and I will definitely assist him to become a holy emperor like the official family."

The Crown Princess nodded slightly, "Yes."

——Ouchi·Kunning Hall——

The emperor stood in the dormitory and changed into a light yellow gown. "Thousands of jurors, but less than 200 female jurors. According to the population verification by the Ministry of Household Affairs, there are more women."

Xiao Youqing fastened the rope buckle on the right shoulder of the round collar for him, "Do you want a balance between men and women just after the government reform?"

The emperor lowered his hands and sat down on the chair next to him, "I know it's impossible to do it overnight. Half of the more than 100 people must be curious and tentative."

Xiao Youqing caressed the emperor's face, "There are quite a few young ladies among the more than 100 people waiting outside the palace."

The emperor was stunned for a while, then raised his head, "Sister, what are you thinking, those are all talents who changed their lives by themselves."

Xiao Youqing smiled and pulled her up from the chair, "Okay, the officials should go and come back earlier." He took a cloak from the side and put it on her, stuffed a hand stove full of charcoal into his arms, "It's cold."

The emperor took the stove and took a step forward, gently embraced Xiao Youqing, lowered his head and kissed gently, "Okay."

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

The emperor found the red plum blossoms in the courtyard on his shoulder, so he waved to the servant on the right, "Go and pick some red plums from the Hanxiang Pavilion and put them in the gall vase in the inner hall of Kunning Hall."

"Yes."

More than a dozen servants walked out of the inner east gate to the south with their shoulders on their shoulders. The emperor leaned on the back of his chair and closed his eyes to rest, "Six sons."

The servant on the left took a step closer and bowed, "Officials."

"Let those Xie Yuan go back. Today I only saw female candidates. In addition, tell them that Xie Yuan will still go to the court with all the officials at the Zhengdan Dynasty next year."

"Yes."

In front of the Zichen Palace, the censor and several servants in the palace were busy for a long time teaching court etiquette and class order, but in the end they were told that the emperor did not see Zhuzhou Jieyuan and only saw women.

Qi Liu

Go up to the white robes of the front court and bow their hands, "In the old system, thousands of people who raised tribute from all over the world came to the gate, and thousands of people were able to enter the right. Everyone, Xie Yuan came to the gate today and hope to see that the king understands the heart. The official decree will be held at Zhengdan next year Still, I don’t mind seeing you, you are all leaders in each state, and you will have the opportunity to meet the king in high school in the future, I hope you have the talent for the country, and you will not forget the heart of the king.” Qi Liu then went to the hall to serve The censor whispered from the side: "The official said that only female candidates were seen."

Xie Yuan had no choice but to come in a hurry and leave without knowing why, so the imperial servant in the palace took the women into the Zichen Palace and waited for them.

When they first entered the largest hall of the kingdom, many girls looked around with amazed eyes, but the most curious one was the emperor who was about to open a women's department, "I don't know how the saint looks."

"Isn't there a rumor among the people that the official family is even worse than that of the late emperor, and that the late emperor was a handsome man who could cause a sensation in the capital like King Lanling when he was young."

"It doesn't matter whether he is beautiful or ugly, in short, he has a good heart. In ancient times, the kings can truly treat everyone equally, only officials."

"It's No. 1 among the emperors not to accept the concubine and live with the empress like a folk couple."

"Those civil officials don't think so. Even when they came from the palace gate just now, they can see the contempt and disdain in their eyes when they passed by, and they are as jealous as enemies meeting each other."

"It doesn't matter, in another ten years, this disdain will definitely turn into fluffing or groveling."

"The holy driver is here!"
