Concubine Yu's biography

Yu Renshu stopped holding the seal, and Jiang Peihan, who was sitting in the lower hall, looked up sharply and asked, "What's wrong with Xiuyi?"

He shook his head and continued to finish stamping.When Jiang Peihan lowered his head again, he frowned and touched his beating right eyelid...

I have a bad feeling.

……

Yu Bi went out to finish the last stroke, and it happened that Yu Jiao led someone in.

Wen Xuan is an out-and-out wild girl, she doesn't understand anything and doesn't disdain anything except to behave decisively.Firstly, people who know her are afraid of the sharp knife in her hand, and secondly, those who know her well avoid her eloquent mouth.

Yu Jiao stood still, seeing that Wen Xuan was still looking around, Wen Shan reminded her: "Girl, hurry up and salute."

His voice was thin and weak, and of course he could hear him when he asked.

She withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and looked up, but she didn't feel that the people in the group of glittering gold were any special than ordinary people.

Yu Bichu turned a blind eye to her stare, and threw down the folded paper that had just been written.

Yu Jiao thought that Yu Bi was angry. He has been moody these days, and even his servants are concerned about him. This young and reckless girl is probably going to end badly.

Just as he was about to kneel down and speak slowly, the young and bold girl easily took a step forward to catch the folded note thrown down by Yu Bichu.

Yu Jiao, who hadn't had time to react, was stunned for a moment, and when her mind turned around, she immediately retreated to the side knowingly.

Before Yu Bi could speak, Wen Xuan opened the paper.The content of the folded note is very simple, a series of names of people matched with a series of time.

Wen Xuan smiled slightly, although she was a talkative person in the eyes of others, but she was very fond of simple things.Of course, Jiang Peihan had already informed in advance what he was going to do when he came here today.

Yu Bichu had a tacit understanding with her, not much nonsense, and asked her to leave immediately after giving the things.

Wenxuan, who was just acting as a tool, strode out of the palace. She made a fortune for herself this morning, and the intention was to "return to the old business and go to war." Now the old business is in her hands, a few dozen pages, at most, After a few moments of raising your hand and blinking your eyes, why do you need to make a big move?

With a little puzzlement, she became more and more hopeful about her future.

In the hall, Yu Bichu lost his mind looking at somewhere.It took a long time to slow down, and he called Yu Jiao over in a strong and stiff tone, and handed out the three copies at hand.

"To Zhongshu, Xu...Xu Yanwan, Wang Mei, and Fu Xinning will enter the palace as concubines."

Yu Jiao was stunned, watching his expression carefully, took the note, and took the order.

As soon as Nafei's statement came out, it shocked most of the government and the public in less than half a day. Many ministers who were preparing to respond to the situation had not yet figured out the purpose of Yu Bi's statement.

In ancient times, conscription orders were only for ordinary people, usually one person per household, and no one could mortgage money, food, cattle and horses.This time, probably in order to cater to the reform, they deliberately added the "no distinction between high and low" category, and greatly expanded the number of recruits. Anyone who meets the age and physical conditions will be forced to enlist in the army, and there is no room for comment.

Let's not talk about how many turmoil caused by "high and low" in the court, think about the millions of people in Shangyu, let alone millions of people who meet the conditions for conscription, leaving aside the money and food for raising the army, Yu Bi issued this decree first It's clear - there is going to be a war, and it's a "big battle"!

At the same time, another "recruitment order" quietly emerged in the gossip of the people.

"What a mess!"

After reading the decree, who had been refrigerated for a long time, Da Qiao slapped the table and stood up, next to a yellow imperial decree.

Fortunately, the eunuch who announced the decree left early and did not listen to his treacherous words behind him.

Da Qiao snorted and took a few breaths, but there was no one around, and there was no one to complain and vent. After finishing her anger, she sat back on the chair and read the imperial decree again.

He felt that Yu Bichu must have been stimulated by Ji Yuan's incident, and something went wrong with his mind.

...How can this thing be implemented?

Xiao Qiao returned to the mansion where she was temporarily staying with a face of indifference, and really felt the atmosphere that was almost the same as that of the Ministry of War.

He sighed, didn't want to say anything, turned back to the room without entering the lobby.

Da Qiao settled down all afternoon by himself, his mind was extremely calm, and he was extremely sensitive to the outside world.How could he not know the movement of people coming, so he got up immediately and stopped him.

"Hey! Come back! Do you know about that? Just that shitty conscription order!"

Xiao Qiao turned around quietly. He listened to the old seniors in the Ministry of War who had been arguing for a whole day, and there were people discussing it all the way back. It is estimated that even the children in the market in Yudu can recite two relevant regulations.

When Da Qiao saw him, his expression became half cold, and he asked, "Is he serious? How does this recruit people? Has no one raised any objections?"

Little Qiao naturally knew nothing about these matters.The proper drafting process is quite complicated and needs to be dealt with by many people, so there is usually a little wind in advance for major events.But this time, although the Zhongshu and the sect have stamped it, there are very few people who really understand the matter.

Therefore, there was an uproar in various ministries.

He said: "In the past two days, the emperor stopped the court due to health reasons and refused to see his subordinates, so no one has been able to speak up personally, but many people have handed over the papers."

The emperor is subject to various restrictions and checks, and there are very few places where he can abuse his private power, but if he really insists on going his own way, no one may be able to shake him.

"You mean he's already made up his mind?" Da Qiao still couldn't believe it.

Xiao Qiao didn't know why his brother was so obsessed with this matter, so he nodded in a daze. Before he could think of a question, he heard his elder brother say again: "Those high-ranking officials and nobles who haven't entered the court, too? Let them join the army. ? Deliberately looking for the leader is not happy!"

Many people in the Ministry of War are also discussing this issue today, but they are angry about why their children are mixed with a group of ordinary people to do the same thing.

"The decree of delegating is like this," he had nothing to say, "Brother, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard Qiao Ziqun sneer, "Okay, I got it! Yu Bi's move... is so fucking ruthless!"

Xiao Qiao, who doesn't know what's going on, has always been reluctant to ask about their intrigues.After he came to work in Yudu, he has been trying to find ways to leave here, but Yu Bichu has not been approved, so he can only do some irrelevant idle work to pass the time.Over the past few months, my heart is really numb, and I can't understand their intrigue going around.

After Da Qiao sneered, he shook his hands and left, not caring about other people's thoughts at all.Xiao Qiao raised a hand and glanced quietly at the complicated patterns on the official robe, but still felt that the gorgeous and loose clothes were too restrictive.

……

"Your Majesty!" The servant who rushed into the door was stunned for a moment, then he blinked his eyes left and right, stammered and raised his head and asked, "My lord, where is the Emperor and Empress?"

Yu Renshu closed a copy of the paper and said flatly: "Your Majesty has gone to Pingnan Mansion to drink tea, let the people outside leave."

The boy walked out in a daze, only to remember after a few steps, the front door and the back door are all blocked, where did the empress go?

Jiang Peihan, who didn't take the usual way, jumped lightly from the eaves to the yard, startled the servants who were sweeping the floor, and took a long time to react, "Miss! No! Madam, why are you here?" He also looked at the roof with worry, thinking what to do if someone saw this.

Jiang Peihan didn't care about his behavior, walked directly into the yard like a master, and asked, "Where's Yi'er?"

"Master is in the study."

"Understood, you can do your work." She said in an unquestionable tone, and walked straight in.

The servant scratched his head and watched her leave.

Jiang Yi has always lived in seclusion, and almost everyone in the court knows that there is such a young King Pingnan, but they have never seen him.At the beginning of the canonization, some people tried to curry favor, but the invitation letters or letters of request to see him all fell into the abyss, and there was no news. Gradually, this low-key king with a foreign surname was forgotten in the public eye.

And what does King Pingnan, who lives in seclusion, do every day...

Jiang Peihan stopped at the door, knocked on the door, and pushed in.Jiang Yi inside was caught off guard by fright, hurriedly packed his things, and asked sharply: "Who is it!" After seeing Jiang Peihan, he was surprised and guilty and left most of the time. Nuonuo stood up and stuffed things under the table. He asked without confidence: "Sister... sister, why are you here?"

"See if you have forgotten my sister." She walked to him, stood still for a moment, and suddenly reached out to grab something under the table. Jiang Yi quickly reached out to stop him, but unfortunately his sister was caught. The feint gesture was still taken away.

He lowered his head and looked aside.

Jiang Peihan sized him up with sharp eyes, while unfolding the crumpled paper—it turned out to be a map of the palace!

She scanned several unknown artificial signs, and then looked at Jiang Yi.

"What are you looking for?"

Those places are all built in the palace, and there are few people except the eunuchs who clean them regularly.Jiang Yi's temperament is the most irresistible, but after Jiang Jie's death, his temperament really seems to have changed drastically.Moreover, there are not many opportunities for the two to meet each other. Although Jiang Peihan noticed something, she never had a chance to ask.

As sensitive as Jiang Peihan, he also considers the current situation. Coupled with the recent incidents, no one with a discerning eye can wait for a turtle.So she mentioned to Yu Bi earlier about "sending Jiang Yi to Pingnan", but unfortunately her younger brother would not be kind.

Jiang Yi, who didn't understand her sister's good intentions, still stubbornly remained silent.

"You don't even believe your sister?" Jiang Peihan was rarely angry. She slapped the map on the table, "I wouldn't have guessed it if you didn't tell me? What did Dad tell you before he died? If you still treat me as a sister Be honest! Otherwise, I will have someone tie you back to Pingnan tomorrow!"

Jiang Yi bit his lip. Since he was a child, he and Jiang Peihan had confronted each other very few times, and every time he was the coward.So after a while, he softened and said obediently.

"Father asked me to find a token from my ancestors."

"Token?" What kind of token should be hidden like this?Jiang Peihan was surprised for no reason, "What kind? Is it that important?"

Jiang Yi looked around in embarrassment, went to close the door, pulled Jiang Peihan to the innermost room and sat down, and slowly talked to her with an ugly expression.

"It's a piece of jade with the name of the ancestor engraved on it."

"Wait, which ancestor?" Jiang Peihan asked.

"Jiang Juqing."

That was the generation of Emperor □□, Jiang Peihan thought to himself, seeing Jiang Yi's face getting more and more ugly, his heart twitched inexplicably, the question was not as aggressive as before, but cautious.

"Is it related to the emperor?"

Jiang Yi nodded, touched the empty cup with one hand, and said rebelliously: "Sister, do you know why Dad only focuses on making wedding dresses for Yu Bichu?"

Jiang Peihan: "..."

"It's not that there is no one in my Jiang family, it's the teachings left by our ancestors, you are not allowed to compete with the Yu family!" He changed into a stern and painful expression: "Dad didn't tell me a few words about what happened back then, maybe it was me I went to check it myself. Don't worry, the insider is no longer alive, and no one can leak that secret."

Jiang Peihan, who heard this, couldn't feel relieved, and asked: "What's the secret?"

"Our ancestor, Jiang Juqing, was a close friend of the first emperor."

Jiang Peihan was stunned.

Jiang Yi said: "There was no coup d'état back then. Jiang Shaoyi learned about the relationship between Jiang Juqing and Yu Zongjin when he was investigating the cause of his father's death, and Jiang Juqing did die because of this, so he went into the palace and said a lot of treason. In the end, together with the entire Jiang family, they will be sent to Pingnan."

"Then the teaching you just mentioned was left by Jiang Shaoyi?" Jiang Peihan felt a little unreasonable.

"Yes, I don't know what Yu Zongjin said to him with Jiang Juqing's token, which convinced him to live in Pingnan with his descendants for a hundred years, and left such a teaching."

"That's why Dad asked you to find that token..."

"I just want to give back the freedom of the Jiang family. The Yu and Jiang families have nothing to do with each other." He moved his throat, "And I don't think Yu Zongjin is worthy of holding that thing."
