Concubine Yu's biography

Historically, all civil turmoil stems from the intensification of conflicts between different classes. A more brief summary is-officials force the people to rebel.

As soon as An Xuan returned to Yudu, he saw such a scene of people criss-crossing the streets.He walked from the east of the city to the west of the city, and then drifted towards South Street. Many ordinary people joined in the fun and turned the steering wheel with the wind like him, and the momentum of the team unconsciously increased.

Passing by Tripod Skill Pavilion, he realized that something was wrong, and he grabbed a person around him and asked what happened, but unfortunately, that person was a drifter, completely ignorant of the situation in front of him.

Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more crowded, he impatiently gave up on the large army and took a shortcut to look ahead.

Ji Yuan woke up again because of the noise from the outside world. He was surrounded by people in the center, separated by a wooden cage.

His eyes were still a little blurry, he raised his hand with difficulty to wipe his eyes, and wiped off a bunch of dark red scabs, which were left after the blood dried.

The wooden cage car kept moving, and occasionally tripped over stones, and the speed was not fast.His consciousness is always between sobriety and confusion, and he has no time to distinguish the situation in front of him.

In front of and behind him, there are several similar wooden cage carts, which are businessmen who were captured last night.The person at the end, that is, the one who yelled the most vigorously, was Shen Qiansan.If Ji Yuan's memory is good enough, they had met once before, but the years were wasted. The sinister merchant who was good at calculating has now shrunk into a crooked little old man. The voice attracts people's attention.

An Xuan went a short distance ahead, but no matter where it seemed, there were densely packed heads without traces, which was meaningless.He curled his lips, thinking what he was doing to join in the fun, and it had nothing to do with him.

Just about to leave, the crowd suddenly became commotion.

He looked up twice, but couldn't see anything, turned around and climbed to a high place, only to see well-trained officers and soldiers gathering.

The team that had been fairly organized just now became active, especially those guarding the wooden cage, who were still muttering something. An Xuan's hearing was good, but the crowd was too chaotic, and the sound that came into his ears was no different from the sound of flies.

Ji Yuan, who was in the team, could hear it clearly, especially when the officers and soldiers came to suppress him.

Xiao Yunqi led people to go to the front, looking at the crowd of people who were so dark and sizeless, he was secretly dumbfounded, thinking that there are so many people in prison, can they pretend?

Thinking about it, the actual action is not slow at all.

Most of the people gathered to join in the fun immediately fled like birds and beasts when they saw officers and soldiers approaching.However, the crowd was so dense, and there were officers and soldiers from all directions outside.You can't escape, let's talk about it, chaos is certain first.

The wooden cage cart where Ji Yuan was staying was crowded and swayed here and there, and the people around were desperately sticking to the wooden cage, out of breath, still chanting their slogans persistently.

"Abolish Tripitaka Pavilion, refuse to fight!"

"Foreign businessmen get out of Shang Yu!"

There are still a few ambiguous sentences, and Ji Yuan can distinguish the meaning, which probably refers to the issue of the unpromulgated civil official law that treats men and women equally and class still exists.

It was really a hoarse struggle.

Fighting between the army and the people, head-to-head armed resistance, is like the most primitive pure fighting, the most primitive equality.

□□It happened before retreating from the court, and all the ministers were blocked at the gate of the palace and could not get out.Xiao Yunqi mobilized all the city troops, but too many people were involved, and he could barely maintain an even match, let alone rescue the hostages among the huge crowd.

Violent suppression is a step given by Chen Liao, and fortunately this is a step of understanding current affairs, otherwise, if the development does not continue, it may cause some troubles.

Yu Bi came out of the inner palace and waited restlessly, and had to pretend to be calm and composed, which was really frustrating.

During this gap, Yu Renshu and several ministers from the Ministry of Officials came to talk to him about something.

"What? Promulgate the new civil official law in advance?" Yu Bi appeared very impatient, and his patience was very bad. Hearing Yu Renshu suddenly mentioning this, he had no other thoughts in his mind except to add chaos.

"Yes, I have discussed with all your lords that the reform of the civil official law must involve the reform of other laws. I just heard people report the scene in the city. One of the reasons for the common people's riots is also because the civil official law to be promulgated treats one more than another. The valued cheap merchants are growing rapidly, which leads to an imbalance in the heart."

What does the imbalance they caused have anything to do with Ji Yuan?

He really wanted to ask this question but didn't say it out of his mouth, so he could only change his tone and say again: "Even if there is an effect, it will be another story. The most urgent thing is how to calm down this incident."

In this situation, even if the best conditions are placed in front of them, it will not have much effect.And once you get used to the habit of responding to requests, it will only get worse in the future.

Yu Renshu, who was really calm, said: "So, after discussing with the ministers, I implore the emperor to retract the preface that he said to detain all the rioters, so that the people can relax their resistance."

At this time, Yu Bichu didn't care about the emperor's words, and just waved his hands, "Okay, Yu Jiao will pass the word of mouth!"

Yu Jiao led the order to go out.

"One more thing..." Yu Renshu hesitated, glanced behind him, and took a step back.

Xu Jingru stepped forward and said: "Please ask the emperor to lift the ban on General Meng's military power and let him lead the troops to come forward. The effect should be far better than the forced suppression by Deputy General Xiao."

Yu Bi frowned. Although he ordered Meng Qijun to serve as the governor of the navy temporarily, it was just an empty shell.Shang Yu too lacks the generals to lead the army, he is still a soldier on the water.I don't know how Meng Qi's army is capable of fighting in water, but they will definitely be able to convince others first.

It's just that the Meng family and the Chu family are top-notch, so let's not talk about their attitude, no matter how they put it, it's a thorn in his heart.

I wanted to take it easy and look for suitable candidates in the next civil law examination, but I didn't expect it to be brought up now.

Seeing his hesitation, Yu Renshu added, "Your Majesty, the top priority right now is to quell the civil unrest. If you feel that this matter is not considered, you might as well postpone it and take back General Meng's military power after this matter is over."

What he said is not so pleasant, and when he employs people, he sometimes raises them and sometimes suppresses them. This has to establish an image of an emperor in the eyes of the officials.

Xu Jingru on the side gave him a meaningful look. He always thought that this young man would be able to calm down. Why did he panic today?

Yu Bichu still hesitated, the immediate matter is of course the most important thing, and the matter of Meng Qijun can't be ignored...

He said: "I pass on my oral order to mobilize two thousand elite soldiers from outside the city. The rest of us are comfortable. You go to the Meng Mansion to spread the word and ask Meng Qi's army to settle the matter before sunset."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Renshu looked very happy, and immediately went out to handle errands.

Xu Jingru lingered on the spot for a while, but Yu Bichu noticed and asked, "What else is there to do for Xu Qing?"

"I want to...beg for Lord Wang." He prostrated himself on the ground with a sincere tone.

There were two young men in their 20s behind him, and they trembled a little when they heard this.They all have heard about why Wang Xuan was condemned. Although Xu Jingru and Wang Xuan are cousins, they don't have close contact with each other on weekdays.

Yu Bichu didn't make a statement, just carefully observing the expressions of the two people behind him, he knew that what he said had been spread, as for how it was spread...

"Wang Xuan committed the same crime again and again, but I just punished him to go to the Jingxiu Temple to reflect. Does Xu Qing think that I have punished him severely?"

Xu Jingru felt contemptuous in his heart, if it was just for self-reflection, his mother wouldn't be whispering it in his ear every day.

Wang Xuan stumbled from Jingshan and fell off the cliff. She is still paralyzed on the bed, unable to speak or move, but anyone with a little brain knows who is behind the scenes.His uncle Xu Lintong participated in this matter but ignored it, which shows that the water is deep and difficult.

however……

"I don't have that intention," he said in a well-mannered manner, "The Wang family is deeply rooted in the court. This matter and the suppression of the family by the new law, I'm afraid..."

Yu Bichu didn't answer what he deliberately left behind, but watched the three of them quietly.

Those two young people——Zhu Qing and Cai Shaolun, had similar family backgrounds to Chen Liao's, and both of them were officials in their father's generation.It's just that their parents' generation was not as prosperous as Chen Liao's, and they themselves were not as good at making connections, developing relationships, and getting a small official position only after passing exams and accommodating.In the past seven or eight years, there has been no achievement.

The thinner Zhu Qingwei timidly raised his head, and took out a booklet that was covered up, his tone was low but he felt impatient. "Your Majesty, this is the evidence of the relationship between the royal family and several ministers in the court and Shang Yu in recent years. Please have a look."

In contrast, Cai Shaolun, who looked safe, trembled more than him, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to find a real talent in an examination controlled by the gentry. If you fail in the last step, no matter how good the civil law is, you will only boo your head. It's meaningless."

Xu Jingru silently glanced at the two of them without saying a word.

Yu Bichu's reaction to this was still chillingly flat, he neither agreed nor vetoed, but just asked the three to back down without even thinking about it.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Zhu Qing and Cai Shaolun each sighed, but at the same time they were worried.

One of them asked Xu Jingru in a low voice: "Master Xu, will the emperor really suppress the gentry?"

Xu Jingru laughed uncertainly, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, how can we understand it."

"I think the possibility is quite high," the other person seemed to want to appear more confident, but Naihe curled his neck slightly, and looked at the rogue instead. "The gentry is a conservative faction, which obviously conflicts with the emperor's reform. And the emperor obviously does not favor the gentry. Isn't Wang Xuan an example? We must have a bright future!"

Zhu Qing nodded, expressing his agreement with him.

Xu Jingru smiled but said nothing, probably this is the reason why they didn't get along well.
