female concubine

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, Shangyuan, the switch fluttered for three days, the city gate remained open day and night, and the guards in front of the palace were increased.

He Wenying, the champion of the new department, wrote a speech to congratulate the empress dowager when he was watching the lanterns in Xuande Tower.

The poems were introduced to the people, and they were appreciated by the Hanlin scholars and the emperor. The names of He Wenying, Cao Peiru and Liu Miaoyi's talented women were rising in the literary world, and the folks were even known as the three talented women of Qianyuan.

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

At the beginning of the 22nd year of Qianyuan, the emperor promulgated a new edict to build the Great Wall, put an end to warfare, take a rest with the people, lighten corvee and reduce taxes. It was able to continue. Since then, the small countries of Zhou State have attached themselves one after another, opened up mutual markets and port trade, and tens of thousands of foreign businessmen poured into Tokyo for a while.

In the spring of the same year, Si Nong Temple was ordered to introduce and promote Champa rice, which has a short maturity period and strong adaptability, and is ripe twice a year throughout the country.

In the first ten days of the same year, the official system was changed again. In addition to laying equal emphasis on civil and military affairs, the emperor issued an edict to promote the status of technical officials, so that they would not have the qualifications to rise to the imperial court but have the same respect as doctors, and pay equal attention to science and technology, astronomy, and medicine. The senior imperial physician revised the medical books and promoted the printing of them to the whole country. In the second half of the same year, he added the Guangyi Warehouse to store grain.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, Huimin warehouse was added, and the marriage limit for men and women was abolished. Those who did not marry after reaching the age would no longer be punished. If the poor are really unable to support them, they will be adopted by the government. If the wife is pregnant, it will be reported to the government and filed. At the same time, the "Residence Law" has been improved, and "nursing homes" have been set up all over the country to adopt abandoned babies and hire people to nurse them. When they reach the right age, they will be sent to schools for listening and reading at the government's expense. Homeless and disabled people with no ability to survive will be sent to nursing homes Support, so that the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick can all be cared for, old people can be entrusted with, learning can be taught, and cemeteries are built all over the country, and those who have no burial after death are collected by the government and buried in the cemetery. Sweep the tomb regularly to pay homage, so that the dead can be buried.

In 23 years before Jinshi Keqiuwei, the emperor issued an edict again, all married and unmarried adult women who participated in the imperial examinations should not be interfered with by their family members, and their husbands should not stop them.

At the beginning of the 24th year of Qianyuan, the Court of Appeals conducted examinations and trials for officials promoted to the imperial court, and changed officials according to their achievements.

Up and down, Lang He Wenying was impeached by Yushitai and appointed to leave Beijing as a judge in Yangzhou. Cao Peiru, who lived in the house, entered the door and went to the provincial government. Disregarding dismissal and dismissal, one after another went to the shuffle to object, accusing Cao of being promoted too quickly and unruly, and pointing out that Cao's qualifications were not enough to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination when he was an official.

——Changing Arch Hall——

The court officials above Cheng Wulang who were able to ascend to the court took turns to give advice. The emperor sat on the throne with his head propped up, and almost fell asleep listening to their chattering accusations.

"Your Majesty, it was an exception for His Majesty to directly let the two Jinshi scholars serve as left and right officials respectively. Now that he has only been an official in just three years, His Majesty has allowed him to go directly from the junior provincial officials to the senior provincial officials. This is really against the rules. ..."

The emperor opened his eyes, "What's wrong with the rules? The rules are made by man, not by heaven. Which dynasty are you ministers of? Tai. Zu Taizong can customize it, so can't I? I must follow it." The old system? Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there have been endless promotions. Cao Qing has the talent for governing the country and the heart of the people. Why not change it?” The emperor immediately sneered, “Could it be that you are going to oppose her because she is a woman?”

The official lowered his head, and then raised it again, "However, how can the heavy responsibility be given to a person who has been in office for a short time and has little qualifications?"

"I can't give it to her, so should I give it to Qing?"

The official squinted his eyes and knelt down tremblingly, "I'm terrified."

"Take your colleagues back, look in the mirror more often, and see if the hall is still bright. Dignity is earned by ability, hard work, and strength. Qing is dissatisfied with her from the bottom of her heart. The more proud she is, the more proud you are in your heart The more unbalanced, I don't care about your hearts now, no one restricts you to speak, as to whether you listen or not, that's my business."

The official trembled the straight wings of the Futou, choked up and said: "Yes."

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

In the same year, Cao Ji, the late Cao Yunsun of Shangzhu Kingdom, moved to serve as the deputy minister. In the same month, the system was restructured again. The number of Hanlin bachelors was reduced from six to two. Together with Cao Peiru in Gishizhong, he concurrently served as Zhi Gong Ju, reduced the number of Hanlin Shizhao from six to three, and promoted Liu Miaoyi's female Jinshi to the Imperial Academy as Shizhao.

After several rounds of merit-based promotions, Dutang has women Fuzi entering the national central institution, and the Imperial Academy is supported by the emperor, headed by Zhizhigao Liu Miaoyi, and the rest of the cut-down bachelors are transferred to other colleges or promoted to Zhudiange bachelors.

In the spring of the 24th year of Qianyuan, at the Temple of King Wucheng

The ministers held provincial examinations, and there were more than 1000 candidates, of which nearly [-] were women.

In the first ten days of March of the same year, the provincial exams were released, and there were more than [-] female candidates who passed the province. The tabloids spread the news and caused a sensation across the country. The number increased suddenly over time.

In mid-March, due to the special examination questions and the strict review of Cao Peiru, the new Zhigong Examiner, only [-] Jinshi candidates were admitted, and more than [-] female candidates were recruited. The impeachment of Yushitai.

After the impeachment failed, Yushitai argued with Zhigong Ju Cao Peiru in the court on the first day of April, while the prime minister and the emperor watched from the sidelines, and Cao Peiru alone silenced all the civil servants in the matter, and finally let it go .

After the court meeting dissipated, the outraged courtiers ran to the emperor to confide.

"Your Majesty opened a course to recruit scholars, and more than half of the more than 7000 candidates were dismissed. Wouldn't some candidates who did not meet Enke's requirements be chilling?"

"Qing also knows that these two are recognized as talented women in the literary world today, so the selection requirements are naturally higher."

"Can..."

"Okay, I know your concerns. There are Jinshi divisions every year. If you don't pass the middle school this year, there will be more next year. Those candidates who failed the exam didn't say anything. Why do you Qingliu who have already achieved fame worry so much? ?”

The courtiers frowned, the emperor was obviously biased, and he knew that talking too much would not only be useless but would anger the emperor, "Yes."

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

——Princess Wu Guochang’s house——

"There are more than 400 female Jinshi admitted in the imperial examination this year. My sister has such talent, why didn't she take the exam? Although the clan is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, if it is my sister, my uncle will definitely agree."

Wei Zhen sat on her lap with a little nephew in her arms, "Fame is added to the body, and in exchange for light, it is also bondage. Now I can go to Taoist temples to listen to real people discussing Taoism every day. Wouldn't it be more comfortable than going to court?"

"Auntie, what is a false name?" The boy asked with his round eyes raised sideways.

Wei Zhen raised her hand and gently touched his little head, "Floating names are things that will make you lose your freedom."

The magistrate of Yongkang County frowned and said, "Sister, it's not because of the crown prince that she refused to become an official?"

Wei Zhen didn't shake his head or nod, "Aren't the mountains and rivers of dozens of roads in the world more pleasing to the eye than the city of Tokyo, the crown prince..." Wei Zhen shook his head, "Speaking of disobedience, His Royal Highness is not as good as uncle, There is only benevolence left, and fortunately, benevolence can make up for it.

Uncle's previous shortcomings. "

During the conversation between the two women and the child, a young man walked into the room, "Master Yidu, my lady." Princess Wu's second daughter Yongkang County Lord Wei Yan and Ji were married to Du Wei, the grandson-in-law of Dai Guogong Li Shiji within a few years. The second son, Li Duanyou, was engaged and married two years later.

"Daddy." The boy jumped off Wei Zhen's lap happily and threw himself into his father's arms. Li Duanyou picked up his son, "Ma'am, the carriage to the family temple is ready."

Wei Yan got up, "The Cold Food Festival is coming soon, and there are still some trivial matters at home, so I will say goodbye to my sister and come back to visit another day."

"it is good."

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

At the beginning of the 25th year of Qianyuan, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River. Due to the high terrain of Liangzhe Road, Changzhou suffered the most severe drought. The imperial court immediately sent officials to the south of the Yangtze River to provide relief. The emperor set up an altar in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for rain and distribute disaster funds and supplies. , exempting the disaster-stricken areas from labor and tax for three years.

In the autumn of the same year, the focus was shifted to maritime trade. In addition to Guangzhou and Quanzhou in the South China Sea, additional ports were ordered to be opened in coastal states. After returning to their hometowns, they followed the example of Duke Wen Zhen to fund the construction of schools. The vacant positions in the imperial court were replaced by new scholars. Before the New Year’s Eve, news came from the hidden mansion that Li Fu, the former governor of the palace of the Prince of Chu, was seriously ill. Give a house to live in.

In the spring of the 26th year of Qianyuan, the Yellow River flooded suddenly. The imperial court ordered disaster relief, and ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Water Supervision Envoys to go to the Yellow River to control the floods. Cao Peiru was used as the official work of the Water Supervision to go out to repair the Yellow River; Li Fu, the prisoner, died of illness, and was gifted to Zhaoxuan envoy and An Jing to stay in the army. In the same year, the flood was cured in winter, and Cao Peiru was moved to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry due to his meritorious service.

In the spring of the 27th year of Qianyuan, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported "Qianyuan Accounting Records". After 27 years, the prosperity and affluence of Tokyo City are far greater than the sum from the beginning of the founding of the country to the reign of Emperor Wuzong. The grain stored in Gyeonggi is sufficient for decades. The Ministry of Household Statistics counts the population The total number was three times higher than that in the later years of Emperor Wuzong of the Guo Dynasty. In the late spring, the palace examination was held in Jiying Hall, and the number of female Jinshi admitted by Linxuan of Chongzheng Hall was nearly [-].

At the same time, the imperial court once again ordered the establishment of schools. In addition to no longer charging admission fees for prefectural schools across the country, all male and female disciples of students from all states can enter the Imperial Academy. Those who are admitted to the third house of the Imperial Academy will be subsidized by the imperial court for one thousand cash per month. Those from poor families who have no residence in Beijing will be provided with lodging and meals by the imperial court.

At the summer solstice of that year, the emperor had a test with others in the Martial Arts Hall. After a short while, he lowered the wooden knife and then let go

, as if he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, he let the wooden broadsword fall to the ground, and the servant stepped forward to pick it up.

The emperor seemed too tired to walk, so he sat slumped under the wooden steps of the martial arts platform and panted, "No, no, I can hold on for half an hour is already the limit."

"Officials always sit in the palace to deal with various state affairs and refuse to go outside. There are so many courtiers, why do everything by themselves?"

The emperor leaned on the steps, "People are always getting old, and I also hope that youth can always be my companion."

Xiao Youqing walked to the emperor's side and wiped off her sweat, then helped her up, "Go back, it's time to drink the medicine."

"it is good."

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the 27th year of Qianyuan was also the Shengshou Festival. When the emperor celebrated his birthday, the Hanlin Academy wrote lyrics and submitted them to Taichang Temple to arrange songs, dances and tunes. Arriving in Tokyo one after another before August, the grand event was like a grand court meeting in Zhengdan, and there were as many as thousands of countries sending envoys to celebrate their birthdays.

Until August, when the emperor was on his birthday, he offered amnesty to the world and reduced or exempted taxes. On August [-]th, Fang Zhiyan, a member of the Privy Council, led all the civil and military officials to Daxiangguo Temple and the palace to pray for the emperor. The official was in the court, and the emperor set up a family banquet in the inner court. The princesses and their children and grandchildren attended the banquet. The originally deserted palace was filled with vitality and laughter because of the arrival of these children, making the whole banquet hall look a few years old. The sound of children playing.

Princess Yiguo took Princess Le'an to the Empress to celebrate her birthday, Jishou bowed three times and congratulated, "I wish you a happy birthday, good health and prosperity, and I wish you and your mother a bright future."

Princess Le'an also imitated her aunt and saluted, "I wish the old man a long life, and the heaven is as good as it is, and the longevity is healthy."

"There is no better family happiness for children and grandchildren than this," the emperor sighed with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, even Le'an will soon be in the year of the golden hairpin."

The crown prince came to the imperial court and said: "A sincere gentleman, if you get it, you will treasure it, that is, you will live forever. May your majesty live a long life."

"I hope that I can inherit the auspicious words of the prince and live a long life."

"Daddy will definitely." The Crown Prince knelt down and raised his head, affirming.

Xiao Youqing noticed that the face of the princess next to the crown prince was not very good, and the melancholy in her eyes had not dissipated after so many years, so she remembered the report from the imperial physician of the Eastern Palace a while ago, so she turned her head and greeted the emperor, got up and sent the princess Helped her up, and pulled her to sit on the quieter side of the banquet hall, "Let you be the prince's wife, and I have suffered for you all these years..."

The Crown Princess shook her head, "Your Majesty," and immediately got up and knelt down on Xiao Xiao's shoulders.

You Qing stepped forward, "I beg your Majesty to let Your Highness accept Liangdi to be the heir of the emperor."

The prince at the side came over and knelt down together, and then helped him up again, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still young..."

"Mother!" The Crown Prince also knelt down, "My son does not take concubines."

Xiao Youqing raised his brows, "You two are still young, before those ministers urged you, you started to fight first?"

The author has something to say: Qian Huaiyan (a descendant of Queen Qian of Wu Yue) returned home to build a school after he became an official, and Fan Wenzheng (Fan Zhongyan) returned to his hometown to found Yizhuang.

The social welfare in the Song Dynasty was free of money for studying in the later period, and then the state would supplement the money for the people during the New Year and holidays, especially in the year of disaster, such as snow in winter and snow money.

Living in Nursing Homes, Anjifang, and Louze Garden, this kind of welfare existed before the Song Dynasty, but it was really promoted after Cai Jing came to power, the dynasty with the best social welfare in Chinese history.

The article only briefly summarizes it (the actual benefits are very comprehensive). The main reason for the implementation is because of money.

The official affairs of the Water Supervision Department: Dispatch name, impermanent staff, temporary purchase.

Officials with the word Zhi before their names are generally part-time officials, and those who are part-time may not be their own jobs.

Bringing power before the official name means temporary generation.

Just to mention, don't substitute reality, because perfect people and objects will always only appear in paintings or words.

What we wrote itself is illusory and unrealistic. If we want to get to the bottom of it, the heroine cannot exist at the root, so there is no need to write this book, because she is the protagonist, so she is the one who lives in ten thousand miles. In case, it is the possibility in the impossible, of course there is no absolute in anything, there are too many wonderful and unbelievable things in the world, so let's read the article happily.
