The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 111

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes darkened, and when she was about to speak, a clear voice came from outside the bamboo forest and said: "This old lady's words are wrong, Princess Jing is just a princess, how can she deserve the title of not being a teacher in the world, old lady Are you saying that Concubine Jing can surpass the Empress and act as a demonstration for the world? You are trying to provoke the brotherhood between the Emperor and King Jing." A young man in a blue court dress walked into the bamboo forest and glanced at the people present. Ignoring old lady Zhao's sudden change of expression, she continued: "In addition, according to the ancient etiquette, the first wife is the only mistress of the family, and she can only take concubines if she has nothing to do with her for [-] years. Even if the first wife has nothing to do, The concubine's children are also owned by the concubine's wife. Princess Jing gave birth to a small son just three years after her entry into the country. Last year, she added a small princess. It is good to have one son and one daughter. What's wrong with King Jing no longer taking concubines? Since the elders Opening the etiquette, closing the etiquette is not as good as writing to His Highness King Jing, how about restoring the ancient etiquette? But if this is the case... the concubines and concubines in your family..." Feng Zhuoran looked at the crowd with a smile, but remained silent.

"You...you are arguing!" Everyone flushed with anger, and the fingers of several older people who pointed at Feng Zhuoran were a little trembling.The ancient rituals that Feng Zhuoran talked about were the rituals of the ancient times. At that time, the etiquette law was first established and the folk customs were simple.There is no such thing as taking concubines, from emperors and generals down to traffickers and pawns.Therefore, the marriage system stipulates that a woman can marry another after 20 years of no income.Even if a married woman gives birth to a child, the married woman shall not be superior to the first-married woman.Later, people's hearts gradually changed, and it was stipulated that those who violated the marriage system and married another would be sentenced to one hundred rods and one year in prison.But later on, the world went downhill and the imperial power gradually flourished.These etiquettes were gradually distorted by the rules one by one, forming the three wives and four concubines in people's consciousness today.Up to now, there is probably no such family in the whole of Kyoto that still maintains the rule that men can only accept concubines after they are forty and have no children.If the ancient rituals are really forced to be restored, among the group of people in front of them, there are many people who have been suppressed and killed by the concubine's house. Not to mention the restoration of the concubine's status, they can be beaten to death with just a stick and a sentence. Close until the bones turn to ashes.

Feng Zhuoran snorted disdainfully, walked up to the Empress Dowager and bowed respectfully, "Zoran sees the Empress Dowager."

Seeing Prime Minister Feng speaking for her family, the Queen Mother was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Please get up, Prime Minister Feng, when did you come back? Have you ever met the emperor?"

Feng Zhuoran's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Zhuoran just came back from the embassy on behalf of the emperor, and has already reported to the emperor. He originally planned to go out of the palace, but he did not expect to meet the empress dowager and the seniors on the way. Hearing some of the cognitions from the seniors is really inspiring. I can't help but step forward and point out my mistakes, and I ask the Queen Mother not to blame Zhuoran for making opinions."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "It just so happens that someone came to visit Ai's family, so you should go and see them too. These few are the heads of the very famous clan wives in our capital, and Ai's family still needs to call me sister." Feng Zhuoran looked sideways slightly , raised her voice and said: "Oh? So it's your sister, the queen mother..." Feng Zhuoran deliberately bit the word "sister" very hard, and immediately made several old ladies feel a little uncomfortable.They have some influence, but it is considered disrespectful to call them elder sisters in front of the queen mother, and with Feng Zhuoran's tone, it sounds like they are mocking their age.

Regardless of whether Feng Zhuoran meant it or not, at least that was what the old ladies heard.Even the youngest prime minister in Anping couldn't bear to be run over by a bratty yellow-haired boy.One of them sneered and said: "I heard that Prime Minister Feng is in a high position at such a young age, what a blessing, young and promising."

Feng Zhuoran didn't seem to understand the other party's implication at all, and said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't need to be so envious. I came back this time to meet the prince and the princess. Shall I go to the north to serve the emperor together? I'm still young next year, so it's okay to help Mr. Ling."

The old lady's face froze immediately, if she ran the queen mother a bit, she might have something to say.But it was a bit of a mistake to choose to run on Feng Zhuoran.Who doesn't know that since the new emperor ascended the throne, Prime Minister Feng has volunteered to follow a group of people who are said to be ambitious and went to the north to lead a group of common people to open up wasteland and farm.Now that the court has been cleaned up, most of the people in the court have been replaced and reshuffled by the new emperor, which is why they are so anxious to win over through the backyard and restore their glory. Prime Minister Feng still stays in the north alone.How could they let their children and grandchildren hang out with a group of vulgar commoners who claimed to be rich and powerful in the capital?They would only think that the official positions given by the new emperor to their children were not noble enough!

Feng Zhuoran's mouth is definitely the best in the entire capital, but it is very famous.But his sharp mouth is not because he is eloquent, but because his words are poisonous, damaging and merciless.After a while, a group of clan wives, all over 50 years old, left in a hurry with livid faces.

Seeing the group of people leave, Feng Zhuoran snorted disdainfully: "These people really have nothing to do, so what does it matter to them whether King Jing accepts concubines?"

The queen mother who was sitting next to her shook her head and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Feng is a smart person, how could he not know? This is not just a matter of taking concubines?"

"I'm really not afraid of death." Feng Zhuoran murmured in a low voice.Would King Jing, with such a sinister personality, really be at the mercy of these self-righteous people?

"People make money and birds die for food. This has been the case since ancient times." The Empress Dowager laughed.

Sure enough, before the old ladies who went to visit the Queen Mother returned home, they heard King Jing's will from King Jing's mansion.King Jing ordered to fill all the vacancies in the court, and all the orders were issued at the same time, without even giving everyone time to react. It can be seen that King Jing and the emperor had discussed for a long time, and they were all young newcomers. To sweep away the situation where Chao Gang is mainly old and pedantic.

King Jing's sudden move made countless people dumbfounded.Most of those so-called elders of high moral character and old age have only got a high and false title.But in the face of King Jing's treatment, everyone was speechless.Because as the emperor's in-laws, King Jing's in-laws, and even the empress dowager's family, the older generation who are directly subordinate to the emperor and King Jing also have the same false titles as them.Leaving aside the nepotism, the direct subordinates have worked hard for the new emperor's ascension. During the process of seizing the throne, there was such a big thing as conspiracy. chaos?No one expressed dissatisfaction, these idlers who were raised really didn't have the face to say dissatisfaction.

But King Jing's attitude had to make all the famous families anxious.The people that King Jing used were all old people and confidantes of King Jing's mansion and the emperor when he was still King Zhao.They even would rather use their own bodyguards than the children of their famous families. This was obviously a warning from King Jing.What's more, the imperial examination system has gradually matured in recent years, and the opportunities for these powerful children to directly enter the imperial court have been greatly reduced.No matter what famous family it is, no one in the court speaks, and Zaowai is just a decline, so how can they not be anxious?
Before everyone came back to their senses, the orders from King Jing's Mansion came one after another, and the beating made these old ladies dizzy one by one.The first thing to bear the brunt was a strange decree issued by King Jing.That is, from now on, apart from the concubines of the concubines, the concubines, concubines and concubines of the concubines' natal families are not allowed to serve as officials in the court for three generations from now on.And this will is in effect forever and cannot be disobeyed.

As soon as this order came out, the patriarchs of the aristocratic families who were planning to send their daughters to King Jing's Mansion suddenly vomited blood.Three generations are not allowed to be officials, what does this mean?That means enough of your enemies to kick you into the mud forever.More importantly, this decree is still valid forever!In other words, from now on, those who want to rely on nepotism to make a career in the sky can give up their minds.

If these news can only be regarded as a warning to them, the last order is to tell them clearly that King Jing's will must not be violated.The last decree was promulgated by the emperor with the jade seal. From then on, the system of preferential treatment for nobles in the former Great Chu will no longer be continued. All officials must pass the imperial examination or the personal examination of the King and Princess Jing.Most importantly, scholars who took part in the imperial examinations had to have served at least one year of military service.The famous nobles who had previously disapproved of the so-called military service system in the Northwest were suddenly shocked.Not only did their disciples have no way to become officials in the court through Yin Feng, they were not even qualified to participate in the imperial examination in the usual way.

For a while, many more people came to see the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In Prince Jing's Mansion, Pei Zihua, Qin Ming and others were all on the list.Ji Lingchen pulled Qin Anan to sit on the main seat and looked at the crowd lazily, obviously in a good mood.Two days ago, he was very angry by those so-called older generation's respected clan wives, but these people can't be killed casually, they are also capable, knowing that if the old pedants came forward by themselves, King Jing and the emperor would directly kill them Call back, so they all stayed at home, and only sent people from the inner courtyard to talk about the matter, so that at least men in this era can't interfere too much in the affairs of the backyard. They want to start with the Queen Mother and Princess Jing to open up their contacts Go in, but they obviously forgot that Ji Lingchen is not a person who follows dogma at will.But it doesn't matter, Ji Lingchen wants to punish a person, there are many ways to make him die of pain.So His Royal Highness King Jing didn't care that the bombs he dropped had blown up the entire world's famous families into chaos, but he just sat in the palace and watched Qin An'an watching the play, laughing happily.

Pei Zihua looked at him and shook his head and said, "My lord really intends to drive out these famous families and kill them all. What's more, it's a decree issued in the name of the emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's King Jing himself. I mean." These self-respecting noble families are sometimes annoying, but sometimes they cannot be left out.What's more, if the pressure is too urgent, these people may all turn against each other, and another Qing emperor will directly force the emperor to deal with King Jing, which will not be good for the reputation of King Jing's mansion.

Besides, there is a deep brotherhood, but after all, he was born in the royal family. The emperor has no worries about King Jing now, and condones all his actions, but he is not sure when he will think of it. These things are the basis for future crimes.

Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and said: "Since they claim to be loyal to the new emperor, they have to follow the new rules! Is it possible...Is it possible for me to accommodate them? As long as they know how to measure, this king will naturally give them a way out. As for those who were originally I don't care if the situation is unstable. As for the emperor, I know how to measure it. This matter is because he wants to take the opportunity to suppress their arrogance, so he will agree to my approach. There will be no problem. Besides, I Believe in Brother Huang, no matter what time comes, he will not harm me, besides, he gave me my life, so he won't worry about it."

Because You Zaifu is old and will balance the old pedant in the future, he followed his will and gave him a vacant position. Now the position of Prime Minister You is still vacant. Pei Zihua raised his eyebrows, looked at Ji Lingchen and asked: " Who is the prince planning to use to catch the position of the right minister?"

Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said sincerely: "No one has caught, and someone has already been selected for the position of right minister, but it's just that the person can't take the position."

"Mrs. Xiuting?" Qin Ming said.Whether it is status, ability or fame, Mrs. Xiuting is undoubtedly a suitable candidate for when.And the fact that he used to be a member of the former dynasty may be criticized, but it is undoubtedly easier to recover those former members who had just been taken back from Ji Junling.After all, the support of the people will have a great effect on the stability of the throne.

"Madam Xiuting agreed?" Pei Zihua said, "But others don't know yet." If others don't know, many people will be eyeing the position of the right minister, saying that Ji Lingchen didn't intend to make a fuss about this point, Pei Zihua absolutely didn't believe it.

Ji Lingchen said with a smile: "Of course I agree, but Mrs. Xiuting is busy with affairs in the northwest, and she will not be able to come to the capital for at least two or three months. As for what happens during this period, it is none of my business."

Everyone present couldn't help but twitched the corners of their mouths. Those who wanted to play tricks under King Jing's nose simply forgot to burn incense in their previous lives.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Ji Lingchen didn't care at all, and waved his hand and said, "Leave these trifles alone. After this time, they should stop for a few days. Let's talk about... the recent incidents in Mongolia. "

Everyone's expressions were complete, and Pei Zihua said calmly: "The information has been sent out, Mongolia has now been divided, and the queen's mother clan has been suppressed, and now they can only nomad to remote places, and there are countries in the Western Regions, it is time to participate All of them are also involved. This battle is probably indispensable, but I don’t know if it will affect the queen..." Pei Zihua frowned, although the general situation of the world is now fixed, it is precisely because of this that it is more dangerous.Whether it is Mongolia or Meng, there are not a few people who secretly want to take the opportunity to find trouble and expand their territory. Although Baili Chenfeng was the throne that Daxing helped consolidate at the beginning, no one guarantees that the person who is firmly on the throne will turn his back on his words.
