The rise of the president in the harem

Eunuch Bian's confession was quickly presented to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for review.Gao Yue, as the actual person in power in the harem, of course also read the confession. He asked Qi Sheath, "Xiao Jiuzi, were you sent to the Zhenyi Institute after Qiao Huan's death?"

Qi Sheath said: "These things were later transferred to the registration office. However, even if Xiao Jiuzi had seen the painting by Qiao Huan, he probably didn't know that Qiao Huan gave the cut face to Han Concubine? Otherwise, why didn’t he tell us at the beginning? It’s a pity that Zhenyi has no more stories to tell about this matter, otherwise he could have called Xiao Jiuzi to ask about it.”

Gao Yue thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to investigate this matter further. I just want to leave a way for the living to survive."

Qi Sheath nodded silently, and said after a while: "Neither Xiaofuzi nor Eunuch Bian, they are not heinous people, they are all blinded by false morality, so they commit crimes and ruin themselves .”

"Well. So educating the common people is the fundamental solution to the problem. The sooner they are taught to distinguish right from wrong, the less tragedies in the world will be reduced." Gao Yue said, "This is the mission of Jisi Academy. We are duty bound."

This incident caused quite a stir in the harem.After the Queen Mother heard about the cause and effect of the matter, she was going to directly order Concubine Han to die, but it was Zhou Feiqi who stopped her.

Zhou Feiqi went to Yongshou Palace in person, he said to the Empress Dowager: "Dragon son is the son of God, now that the Zhou family has a queen, I have no intention of pampering the other concubines, instead of keeping them in the palace to increase resentment, it is better to let them out. Set them free."

"How can this be done? How decent is it?!" Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately put on a straight face.

Zhou Feiqi had already guessed that the Queen Mother would not agree so easily, and continued to persuade patiently: "If you kill a concubine today, there will be other concubines tomorrow. Can the Queen Mother solve every time something happens by killing her? Think about how difficult it is for your son to grow up, do you still want your grandson to face endless calculations from birth?"

The Empress Dowager was able to bring Zhou Feiqi up, it was really hard work, she has a deep understanding of this, Zhou Feiqi's words can be said to her heart.The queen mother remained silent, and Zhou Feiqi also saw that she seemed to be loose, so she continued her efforts and said, "Besides, Gao Biyan is still so young..."

Although His Majesty the Emperor didn't say what he said later, how could the Empress Dowager not hear the meaning.However, the queen mother stared at the emperor, and asked with a half-smile: "Do you think the Ai family can't see it? This brother of the Gao family is a master who is willing to stay in the harem and give birth to you?!"

Zhou Feiqi stopped talking.That's what he said just now, can he know better than the Queen Mother what kind of person Gao Yue is? !

Facts are always better than words, so Zhou Feiqi said again: "In a few months, Dazhou will usher in two princes, and you will have two grandchildren in the arms of your mother at the same time." There will be two emperors and grandchildren to hug, so don't be too greedy for the queen mother.

The queen mother snorted, and after a while, she let out a long sigh and said: "My son, the queen mother can understand you. You want to dismiss the concubine because of Gao Yue and the grandchildren of the mourning family, but you Don't you think for yourself? You are the emperor, don't you want to lose face?"

Zhou Feiqi was laughed at by the queen mother, and said: "Since ancient times, the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards have nothing more than to spread branches and leaves for the royal family. But when it comes to spreading branches and leaves, I only choose Gao Biyan, and there is no need for those empty faces." What's the use?"

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, the Empress Dowager said, "If you insist on doing this, the Ai family will not stop you, but those ministers may not agree."

Zhou Feiqi said: "This matter, my son knows it well, if the queen mother agrees, my son will start to do it."

Hearing what he said, the queen mother sighed again, shook her head and said, "Oh, Ai's family is old and can't control you anymore. If you want to be dismissed, then go with you."

Thus, seven days later, a sensational news in the Great Zhou Dynasty sounded like a thunderbolt across the land of Shenzhou—Emperor Jiayi decreed that all concubines and concubines below the second rank in the Great Zhou Empress Palace who wish to return home can all be ordered to go home together. Pardon to leave the palace!

With this decree, the first to fry the pot is the Pingjing Baiguan.At the court that morning, all the officials knelt down, shouted long live, and begged the emperor to take back his order.It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this is the first time that all the officials have worked together to kneel down and plead for one thing, and they are still in charge of the emperor's harem. I don't know whether to say it is sad or ridiculous!

However, Emperor Jiayi, who was always good-tempered, was extremely resolute this time. Sitting on the Golden Luan Hall, he categorically rejected the kneeling request of all officials.Not only that, he also promulgated a new evaluation system for officials.This system is similar to the modern group executive assessment, which is a graded reward and punishment system specifically for the performance of executives.In this system, the most popular concept of equity dividends in modern management is also used. This shareholding mechanism can indeed effectively replace the group relationship and become a new model of the relationship between the emperor and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the group relationship is the only way for the ministers to effectively bind their own interests with the interests of the country in the eyes of ministers, then this mechanism will give them another choice when it comes out.Let them know that even if they don't send their children to the palace, they still have the opportunity to tie themselves to the big ship of the emperor.

As soon as this system was announced, the first batch of beneficiaries were the heavyweight elders like Sangong Jiuqing.Now that they have all become beneficiaries, there is no need for them to stop the emperor from dismissing the harem.As for the other officials who still needed to work hard, seeing that the Sangong and Jiuqing had shut up, it seemed a bit too eye-catching to jump out at this moment, so they died down after a while.

Of course, as soon as this decree was promulgated, it would definitely be impossible to bomb the front court, and the concubines in the harem would also be bombed to a crisp.At first, they all thought that the emperor was testing their loyalty, so no one approached the emperor for a pardon.

It wasn't until one day that Zhou Feiqi took a day off and called the concubines to the imperial study one by one for a conversation, that the concubines really believed that the emperor was not trying to test them, but was really going to dismiss them.

In the past, in other dynasties, it was not without examples that the emperor dismissed his concubines, but most of those dismissed concubines died shortly after they were dismissed, or were directly demoted to common people, assigned, exiled, all in all ended up being miserable. Not very good.

However, this time Emperor Jiayi really wanted to give them a pardon.With this amnesty, after they leave the palace, they can go back to their respective homes, and their movements are not restricted.If you meet someone you like, you can even remarry!

For the concubines who are in the Mood for Love, this is a godsend.

Your Majesty, you must give them freedom!

After realizing this, no concubine is still not tempted.Up to now, they can see very clearly that the emperor only loves Gao Biyan and doesn't love them at all. Even if they love the emperor and are willing to stay in this palace, what's the use?It's nothing more than wasting your youth.

Therefore, shortly after the interview with the emperor, several beauties and Rong Yuan headed by Nangong Juanjuan took the initiative to seek the emperor's pardon.

Nangong Juanjuan wanted to go home a long time ago. She missed his brothers and sisters so much. Although Gao Yue was protecting her in Dazhou's harem, her life was not bad, but Gao Yue was too busy. She can't see each other a few times, and the loneliness in her heart has no one to fill, she needs the healing of family affection too much!

After Nangong Juanjuan received the pardon, he couldn't wait to pack his things and prepare to return to Gaoshan Kingdom.Before leaving, she gave Gao Yue a purse made by herself as a novice. The embroidery of the purse was really not good, but when Gao Yue saw Nangong's fingers wrapped in white cloth, he was still very moved.

There are the first batch of people who 'eat crabs', and naturally more people follow suit.Within half a month, the only remaining concubines in the harem were Gao Yue, Qi Sheath, Bian Shu and Concubine Han.

Qi Qiao and Bian Shu were unwilling to leave, which surprised Gao Yue somewhat.Both of them are now on duty in the Department of Accounting, and it is very convenient for Gao Yue to ask them for questions. One day, he called them to Jingyang Palace in the name of holding a small meeting with the Department of Accounting.

In fact, Qi Sheath would tell Gao Yue what happened to Ji Si's work every day, so it would be more appropriate to say that it is a daily routine if we talk about a meeting.The three of them got together, and after talking nonsense for a while, Gao Yue asked them: "Now, the concubines are all out of the palace, what do you two think?"

Bian Shu was taken aback by the question, and wondered: "We are both out of the palace, wouldn't it be very troublesome to report to you about the work of Ji Si in the future?"

"You, you are because of this?" Gao Yue raised his forehead, and was really convinced by Bian Shu's reason.

Qi Sheath said: "I've thought about it for a long time, but I still won't leave the palace. I want to be with you."

"I want to accompany you too!" Bian Shu immediately followed suit.

"You..." Gao Yue looked at the two people, stood up suddenly, and said to Qishea, "Wait here for a while, Bian Shu, come with me."

"Huh? Oh, good."

Bian Shu followed Gao Yue, came out of the study, and entered the main hall, still wondering why Gao Yue called him over alone.

Gao Yue didn't plan to have any trouble with him, so she said bluntly: "If you don't have to think about the work report of the accounting department, don't you really want to go out of the palace?"

Bian Shu was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and said softly, "Think."

Gao Yue knew that instead of dying alone in this palace, no one would want to break away from the shackles and embrace freedom.But before Gao Yue had time to say anything, Bian Shu said again: "But my elder brother said that I have married into the royal family, even if the emperor grants me a pardon, I can only be a concubine when I leave the palace. It's better to live a peaceful life in the palace, at least you can keep some dignity."

Bian Shu seemed to muster up his courage before telling Gao Yue what he said.After he finished speaking, he was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Gao Yue, so he lowered his head and stared at his toes, looking like a child who made a mistake after confessing to his parents, which made Gao Yue feel a little bit unbearable.

Gao Yue sighed softly, smoothed his thoughts, and then tried to persuade Bian Shu again. He said, "What do you think of Ji Si?"

As soon as the accountant was mentioned, Bian Shu felt as if he had been given a chicken blood. He quickly raised his head, looked at Gao Yue with glowing eyes, nodded and said, "It's very good. Our accountant is very good!"

Gao Yue said again: "Then what do you think of your official position in the accounting department?"

Bian Shu said: "I am now a member of the fifth rank!" When he said this, he looked very proud.

Gao Yue continued: "Then do you know which one of the fifth-rank officials in Dazhou can't marry a wife and is a bachelor?"

Bian Shu shook his head, "It seems that there really isn't one."

"So?" Gao Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

This is the end of the conversation, if Bian Shu still can't understand what Gao Yue is talking about, then his IQ is really inferior to Ji Si's official position as a fifth-rank official.Bian Shu quickly figured it out, and then the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, with surprise, he said to Gao Yue: "Master Ji Xiang, I understand, I will go out of the palace to persuade my brother."

But Gao Yue stopped him again and asked: "If your brother Bian Yi doesn't listen to you, or just doesn't agree with you leaving the palace, what should you do?"

Bian Shu said: "I have a salary, so I can start my own family. He won't let me go home to live, so I will buy a yard to live in. He, he probably thinks that if I leave the palace, I will embarrass the Bian family."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gao Yue said, "If you really have to set up your own family, don't forget to tell me."

"Thank you, Ji Xiang."

Bian Shu saluted and left.Gao Yue went back to the study and chatted with Qi Sheath Dan.
