Concubine Yu's biography

Zhuge Yu and San'er were walking the same route as Ji Yuan, and were escorted back to the palace one after the other.

Zhuge Li, who was sent back in a daze, seemed to be sinking in water. He didn't know what happened, but Yuan Chang had told him before that he should rest assured and wait for the people from the court to pick him up, and not make any resistance.As for why Mr. Zhuge listened to her?

...because the bet was lost.

San'er was sitting next to his father, looking at the woman across from him from time to time, with a vigilant look in his eyes.

Wen Xuan was playing with three copper coins in his hand, quietly, with a dignified and serious expression.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.She held the copper coins in one hand, glanced at the silent father and son on the opposite side, raised the front curtain, saw the unique mark of the Jiang family in the carriage in front, jumped out of the carriage in surprise, and looked around, "What's going on? Robbery at the gate of the palace?"

"I've never seen someone robbing and smashing a carriage." Li Wen got up casually, and a dead body with its head opened was lying at his feet.He glanced at the inside of the carriage, which had lost one of its wheels. There was a pile of scattered things, and there were a few marks of being scratched on the side of the carriage.

Wen Xuan walked over, staring at the ground all the way, and rubbed his toes next to the corpse near the carriage, "There is another person, left-handed, who was dragged away."

Li Wen: "Don't worry about it so much, you send them to the palace first, and I'll tell Master Sheng."

The summoned Wen Xuan let out a "tss", talking to himself as he got into the carriage and drove the horses, "every house is closed, the lights are uneven, the palace gates are upright and the avenues are robbed, and there will be turmoil within half a month. At least a hundred people..."

Li Wen gave her a sideways look helplessly, and calmly prevented her from saying something wrong, "I can't keep up with the military training outside the city."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xuan immediately got into the chariot and rode the horse, bypassed the scene of the accident and headed straight for the palace.

Almost at the same time, large flakes of snow fell from the gloomy gray sky.

"How did you beat him like this?"

Just as Ji Yuan regained some consciousness, he heard such an exasperated sentence from above.

"What kind of benevolence and righteousness are you talking about to this kind of son of a bitch, Mr. Rong, when will the next step start?" A dense group of people filled the whole room. There were peasants of five big and three rough, and there were white-faced young men who looked weak, but they were all filled with righteous indignation , The sharpness of the same root is depicted on the completely different faces.

Rong Gu curled his lips in annoyance, frowned and stared at the half-dead Ji Yuan, and said, "Preheating tonight, the official start tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

There were uneven responses from the cramped room, and Ji Yuan felt his head swell, and he couldn't see anything in front of him at all.After a while, the gathered crowd began to disperse, and the sound of footsteps lingered in the ears one after another. When someone passed by, he paused, then kicked him hard, and he lost consciousness again.

……

Wen Xuan did not catch up with the military training exercise outside the city, she sent Zhuge Yu and the others into the palace, and before she finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Xuan Geng, who reported worries but not good news, came with a serious face.

Yu Bichu's right eyelid suddenly jumped wildly.

"Report to the emperor," he said in a single word, "Master Ji has been kidnapped."

The corner of Zhuge Yu's mouth twitched, thinking what evil did that unlucky kid do?

Yu Bichu looked very calm, and calmly asked the ins and outs of the matter after unnoticed choking.

Xuan Geng finished the general story, and said: "This matter has not been leaked, Lord Cheng has sent people to search for it privately, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

He nodded, Jiang Jiang did the right thing, Ji Yuan's matter is sensitive, the previous treatment of Wang Xuan has caused ripples in the court, and it is definitely inappropriate to make a big fanfare.

But... He took a deep breath and let it out, "Tell Jiang Jiang, as soon as possible..." He changed into a calm and down-to-earth tone, "The foreign envoy will arrive in ten days, don't let this matter affect New Year's atmosphere."

"Yes." Xuan Geng, who was just acting as a microphone, agreed without any pressure.

Then Yu Bi asked Yu Jiao to arrange Zhuge Yu's affairs, and then screened everyone away.

On the way back, Wen Xuan stared at the endless night, speculating about officialdom politics, "Who do you think has nothing to do with that little guy who wants nothing? Jealous? Jealous of his position next to the emperor? Or something..." After getting nowhere in the conversation, she elbowed Xuan Geng, "Can you give me some feedback?" It was already dull enough, but after coming to this boring Yudu, it became even duller. I really don't understand what these people are thinking.

Xuan Geng gave her a face-saving look, and said indifferently: "How do you know that it must be done by the people in the court?"

"Nonsense, whoever is full of food can make money if you tie him up." She took it for granted.

"With Wang Xuan's lessons learned, besides causing trouble for myself, what benefit can I get from catching Ji Yuan?" He replied with the same tone.

Wen Xuan didn't understand this kind of thing in the first place, but she was not very happy to be told by Xuan Geng, even if she didn't get any benefits, she still felt that it was more likely that the people in the court would do it, after all, it's close to enmity!

"What about personal grievances and retaliation?" She insisted.

Xuan Geng: "You really want to participate in this kind of thing, from now on, you should spend less time outside the city and stay in the mansion more."

Wen Xuan blushed from being poked in pain, before he had time to curse, he suddenly heard a commotion.The two looked up following the sound, and saw flames shooting up into the sky in the distance.

"On fire? Where is that?" Wen Xuan, who rarely came out to do something bad, couldn't help but want to curse.

"South Street is the direction of Dingji Pavilion." Xuan Geng, who is familiar with Yudu, immediately judged and realized what happened.But before he had time to react, an ominous light was also reflected in the west.

The west is in the direction of Jiang's Mansion, and the two rushed back immediately, regardless of what else happened.

The noise became louder and louder, and the people who had already fallen asleep were woken up one after another. Every family opened their doors to look around, and the neighbors whispered to discuss the sudden change.

Wen Xuan and Xuan Geng rushed to Jiang's mansion, only to find that it was not Jiang's family that had the accident, but Gu's family.

After all, the two were eager to protect the Lord. Seeing that it had nothing to do with their own family, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the gate of Jiang's mansion opened, and Wen Xuan and Xuan Geng saw Jiang Jiang and Gu Wenyou walking out together. Gu Wenyou frowned and looked in his direction.

There is a lot of voices over there, but the crows and sparrows are silent here.He asked Xuan's ears, and seemed to hear something like "foreign businessmen get out of Shang Yu".Running around in the middle of the night for this, causing chickens and dogs to jump and demolish people's houses?

Xuan Geng looked around and hesitated for a while, then stepped forward, "Master Cheng, Master Gu..."

Gu Wenyou regained his composure, raised the corner of his mouth disapprovingly, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about it, it's just a bunch of covetous bugs." After finishing speaking, he entered the door.

Jiang Jiang coughed intermittently again, and nodded to him, "It's snowing heavily, go to bed early."

Wen Xuan was stunned for a while and said seriously to Xuan Geng: "I think that kid Ji Yuan is probably dead."

"Why?" He was puzzled.

"Isn't it obvious? You see, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, no one cares about his life or death. I bet 100 taels, he must be the bait that was released for fishing!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, someone really took advantage of what happened last night to make a fuss.

Wu Shuonan said: "Judging from what happened in Dingji Pavilion this time, I believe that the reform should be carried out step by step, and going too hasty will be counterproductive. The same is true for the new civil official decree that has not yet been issued. I hope the emperor thinks twice."

Fu Wenyuan also stood up, "I agree with Mr. Wu's opinion. The reform of the new civil official law is very serious. It has been a matter of course since ancient times that men and women are superior and inferior. Once it is introduced, it may cause greater public resentment."

One of these two knows the destiny, and the other is not confused. They are both complete gentry, and they can basically represent the opinions of the majority of people present.If entering an official position from a poor family is a challenge to their authority, the introduction of equality between men and women will touch their bottom line.

Yu Bichu had expected that there would be a group of people in the court who would object, and he had received some papers before, but there was no such two people, so he didn't expect to explain it to him here today.

However, Wu Shuonan's attitude is not so tough, it seems that there is room for persuasion.

Seeing that the emperor did not express his position, Yu Renshu came out and said first, "Your Majesty Wu, you can rest assured that the new law has not yet been fully drafted, and there is still time before it will be implemented on a trial basis. Besides, this matter has been circulated among the people for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it." .”

Fu Wenyuan was very dissatisfied with his words, and said in a sarcasm: "Your Majesty treats the heart of a villain with the heart of a gentleman. The Dingji Pavilion has been open for more than two months, and it has always been peaceful. Didn't it happen last night? Don't we have to wait?" Can't you just try to fix it after it happened?"

There was a whisper from below.

Xu Lin stood up and spoke righteously and without prejudice: "The civil official law will be discussed later. The most important thing to solve now is the problem of Dingji Pavilion. There will be a second time, my lords. Think of a solution."

"Is there any solution to deal with the civil unrest? If you refuse to revoke the decree, you can only suppress it by force." Fu Wenyuan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Yu Bichu's complexion was not very good, his lips were pale, and he looked sick.After listening to the discussion of several people, he said: "It is a bad idea to use violence to control violence..."

Before he finished speaking, someone came in to report—a large group of people on the street were having sex, and several people were tied up.

The person who sent the message was arranged by Jiang Jiang. Before coming, he had already investigated the names and origins of the kidnapped people. Most of them were merchants who were tied up last night, and one of them was Ji Yuan.

Hearing this name, Yu Bichu immediately became restless. When he heard about it last night, although he also thought about this possibility, he didn't find any reason why they kidnapped Ji Yuan.The reform was not proposed by him, nor did he participate in it much. How could anyone follow him?

"Your Majesty," before he could figure out how to vent his emotions, a person stood up.

"Benevolence is the generosity of the emperor. Although it is not advisable to use violence to control violence, there is no way to do it. Moreover, most of the people in the crowd are blind followers. It is difficult to refute the words. Only by killing chickens and monkeys can it be effective."

The person who spoke was Chen Liao, and he was one of the people who followed Wang Xuan to admonish Ji Yuan for the first time. His father was Yu Qian's son from a poor family who entered the official position on his behalf, and he was a standard crack figure.

Yu Bi stared at him speechlessly, and ordered: "Let Xiao Yunqi lead the army to suppress, and all participants will be detained and await punishment."
