The rise of the president in the harem

The breakfast was personally delivered by the chef in the small kitchen of Yongshou Palace.After seeing Gao Yue, he kowtowed and saluted, saying that the queen mother asked him to leave the palace with Gao Yue for a while.Gao Yue looked at this posture, the queen mother said that she would contract his three meals a day, it was not a lie, this old lady is very serious!Of course, Gao Yue also understands that the result of this seriousness is actually "holding the emperor's grandson".

Alas, once you enter the harem, it's as deep as the sea, and you can't stop giving birth from then on.

I'd better try to run away!

Probably because she understood the queen mother's plan too clearly, Gao Yue didn't have a very good breakfast this time.The chef didn't know why, seeing that Gao Yue ate less, he just thought that the food he cooked didn't suit Gao Yue's appetite, and he was a little flustered. After breakfast, he inevitably had to make friends with the two young eunuchs, Xing and Fu, and asked about it by the way Gao Shijun's favorite taste.

Today, Gao Yue is going to leave the palace with Chi Yundao, and Jiyang Palace has been making various preparations for this since morning.If we say that before last night, Gao Shijun's winning of the favor was still at the level of rumors, then, with the series of coquettish operations of being hugged by the emperor's princess in front of the princess, sitting on the thigh, and "biting" the ear at the queen mother's banquet, now' Gao Shijun won the favor' has become an indisputable fact that the entire harem is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.What's more, there were countless pairs of eyes in Jiyang Hall last night. After returning from the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor carried Gao Shijun back to the main hall from Tangchi all the way!At that time, Gao Shijun was so 'ashamed' that he didn't even dare to open his eyes!

Alas, I am so envious of Gao Shijun! ——This is the voice of countless people in Jiyang Hall and even the entire harem.

In this situation, can all the people who help Gao Shijun arrange travel items not care about it?

So, after Gao Yue finished her breakfast and saw Eunuch Zhang personally come to ask him with a smile on his face to see if there was any shortage of things brought by the palace, he saw this scene——

Ten carriages filled with various supplies were neatly lined up in the open space in the front yard of Jiyang Hall.Eunuch Zhang also carefully made a list of what was put on each car. Holding the list, he pulled Gao Yue to read it to him patiently: what is on this car Jun’s favorite book on weekdays, the car is filled with all kinds of gauze robes and changes of clothes specially ordered by the emperor to be customized by the Shangyi Bureau for Shi Jun, as well as fresh ingredients... and daily necessities...

Gao Yue: ...

Let’s not say that I am going to escape, but I just went to Chiyun Temple to stay for seven days. Is it so complicated for seven days?

Seeing that Gao Yue was speechless for a long time, Eunuch Zhang thought that he was not thoughtful enough, so he hurriedly asked, "What dissatisfaction does Shijun have?"

Gao Yue took a long sigh and said, "Is there too much of these? I'm only going there for seven days, so I don't need to make it look like I'm moving. Let's move them out. I don't bring any books, calligraphy and paintings, just keep two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and fresh ingredients. Just ask Daoist Chi Yun what he said to keep, just keep a set of daily necessities and tableware, don't be too luxurious. I don't need to be extravagant and wasteful when I go out of the palace this time, just keep a low profile. We can't leave the royal family Extravagant impression, keep everything simple."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang was stunned. After a while, he realized and responded repeatedly.At the same time, there was a faint layer of sweat on his forehead, he was really frightened by Gao Yue's words of 'royal extravagance'.At this time, he looked back at the ten carriages again, he was really ashamed, it was so dangerous, if Gao Shijun hadn't woken up with a word, his arrangement today might really blackmail the royal family.Alas, before I only thought about striving for merit and performance, as expected, I was still stuck in front of my eyes and saw too little.It is Gao Shijun who is so enlightened at such a young age, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor loves him so much.

Seeing that Eunuch Zhang seemed to be persuaded by him, Gao Yue was already recounting the supplies, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.How can I run away with such a big ostentation, so much attention!Really!

Here, just after Gao Yue finished talking about Eunuch Zhang, at the gate not far away, Taoist Chi Yun and Captain Liang Xiao walked in one after the other.When Gao Yue saw them, she immediately greeted them with a smile.After the two sides greeted each other, Gao Yue smiled and said, "How is Taoist priest today?"

Chi Yunzi said: "I'm ashamed, I made a fool of myself yesterday and caused everyone trouble."

"The Taoist priest is serious. It's only because the weather was too hot yesterday. What's the trouble?" Gao Yue cleverly detoured, and then turned to the topic, "When are we going to leave today?"

"Your Majesty means to wait for him to come back early." When Daoist Chi Yun said this, he turned his head and glanced at Liang Xiao who was next to him. Liang Xiao nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty wants to send the Taoist chief and Shijun personally. Get out of the imperial city."

"Oh, that's it." Gao Yue thought to herself, she didn't realize that Zhou Feiqi still had such a sticky character, but he was the emperor and he was the biggest, so he just waited as he asked, how could he resist orders?

However, none of the three of them, including Liang Xiao, expected that the emperor would wait until after noon when he came to court. Seeing the sun slanting to the west, Gao Yue was a little irritable and was planning to send I went to find Eunuch Hu personally to inquire, and saw Eunuch Hu hurried over with sweat on his forehead.

When Gao Yue saw him, his eyes lit up, thinking that the emperor had finally come down, but he heard Hu Gonggong yelling anxiously: "Please trouble Gao Shijun, follow the old slave to the imperial study, the emperor has something to ask."

Gao Yue gritted her teeth, Zhou Feiqi did it on purpose, right? ! ! !

Following Eunuch Hu all the way to the imperial study room, Gao Yue was suppressed by the serious atmosphere inside as soon as he entered the door, because besides the emperor, there were quite a few court officials wearing official robes in the imperial study room. Senior officials, and everyone's face is full of frost, which shows that the situation may be really serious.Among the hundred officials, there were two standing in front of the imperial case, their blushing and thick-necked faces showed that they had just quarreled, and the quarrel should have been quite intense.

Since it was an official quarrel, why did Zhou Feiqi call him here?Could it be that he was asked to help persuade the fight?Gao Yue thought so, stepped into the threshold, bowed to salute, and heard the emperor say: "Yue'er is here? Excuse me, come to me and give me a seat."

The clever little eunuch helped put the chair beside the emperor's case, and then bowed and quietly retreated to the back of the hall.

Sitting next to Zhou Feiqi, Gao Yue saw the emperor tilting his head and looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and felt that the situation might not be as bad as he thought.I have to say that Zhou Feiqi is a person who is quite suitable to be the backbone of others sometimes.

Gao Yue looked doubtful, blinked, and inadvertently revealed a hint of silly cuteness, Zhou Feiqi wanted to laugh for a while, but due to the situation at this time, she finally collapsed, only turned her head, and faced the standing in front of her. The two ministers said: "You two lovers, please repeat what you just said?"

The person on the left immediately said: "I think that although the official performance appraisal system seems to protect the survival of the victims to the greatest extent, it also restrains the officials' management of the victims. The current example of the disaster victims overcoming disorderly crimes is enough to illustrate , this system is not suitable for Weishui's current environment, I implore Your Majesty to terminate this system immediately!"

"I object!" The minister on the right yelled loudly without backing down, and he didn't care about his image, and he said like a cannonball: "If Mr. Liu rejects the whole situation because of one example, his vision is too small! You Do you know how much this year's Weishui disaster relief expenditure will be after the implementation of the official performance appraisal system? If you don't think you will pay attention to these, the old man will tell you that the silver taels used so far for this disaster relief are less than one-third compared with previous years Two, this effect is enough to show that this performance appraisal system is an effective prescription, and now you are advocating to stop it, I wonder if you are planning to pay for the money out of your own pocket, and what other brilliant ideas do you have?"

"Master Li, why do you want to run on Liu everywhere? You advocate this system, isn't it because this system can cover up the deficit of your household department? You don't want to disregard the lives of thousands of disaster relief officials for your own self-interest. There is one case of disaster victims. It is inevitable that there will be countless others who will follow suit later, if you let it develop and cause riots, it will not be solved by your money!"

……

Gao Yue listened to these two quarreling, and finally figured it out. It turned out that there were some flaws in the implementation of his disaster relief draft, which caused some particularly thorny people among the victims to take advantage of the loopholes and rely on the system. To protect them, they openly beat the officials in charge of taking care of them, uttered nonsense, fanned the flames, and committed suicide lawlessly.

The two in front of me are Master Liu, Minister of the Ministry of War, who advocates the immediate suspension of the performance examination system. He is mainly worried that the disaster victims will cause trouble for the Ministry of War; , in his eyes, how can such a money-saving system be stopped, it must continue to be used.Therefore, these two veterans of the two dynasties, the sixty-year-old old man who devoted himself to the Great Zhou for nearly his whole life, just today, they quarreled from the early morning to the Imperial Study Room, the more they quarreled and the more joyful they were, exposing each other's background and smearing charcoal without mercy , In order to achieve their own goals, they completely threw out the other party.

The two old men were arguing more and more vigorously. While listening to their quarrel, Zhou Feiqi glanced at Gao Yue casually with a smile in his eyes. His expression was completely like watching a play, as if the two of them hadn't quarreled at all. Take the problems exposed at the time to your heart.

Seeing Zhou Feiqi's virtue, Gao Yue guessed that Zhou Feiqi knew everything like the palm of his hand. Thinking about the shadow guard that Qi Xie mentioned last night, Zhou Feiqi could even put a shadow guard next to himself, the little servant in the harem, not to mention the court official up.

Well, the emperor is not in a hurry, let alone him.Gao Yue thought so in her heart, and also leisurely watched the play.As a result, he hadn't watched it for two seconds before he heard Zhou Feiqi say in a very embarrassed tone: "Oh, what the two lovers said is reasonable, and I can't make a decision at the moment, but this disaster relief draft was originally an accident of Gao Shijun. What you get and give it to me, why don't you listen to it, what's his opinion?"

Gao Yue: Myocardial infarction jpg

At this moment, Gao Yue really wanted to squirt blood on the emperor's face, so she knew that Zhou Feiqi would have nothing good to do with him, and sure enough, she was not merciless at all for throwing the blame at him!

Hearing what the emperor said, the two Shangshu adults immediately cast their eyes on Gao Yue, but, unlike the emperor's smiling eyes, the Shangshu's eyes were staring at each other, as if Gao Yue dared to say a word that was not good for them. In the next second, he could pounce on Gao Yue and tear him down.Gao Yue laughed dryly, coughed again, and said, "My lords, be safe and don't be impatient. Gao Yue doesn't know the details of this matter and dare not comment. However, if it's a problem with the system itself, you can't escape it." Make the upper bundle and make the lower appointment', I know a thing or two about this."

"Oh?" The two ministers glared at each other, then asked, "What do you mean by 'making the upper bundle and making an appointment'?"

Gao Yue said: "The system is above the system, and it also refers to the promoters of the system or those who are called vested interests. To put it bluntly, it means who the system is used for and who it serves. In the bundle, it means that a certain system is promoted. Who is the first executor after going down? This executor is not only a user of the system, but also bound by the system, and can also benefit within the limited scope of the system. Under the contract, it is who is bound by the system, who is bound by the system Talented people are not only the basis for the final implementation of the system, but also the basis for the birth of the system.

If, at the beginning of the formulation of a certain system, the rights and interests of these three parties were not fully considered, and it was born out of thin air, then this cannot be regarded as a complete system, and in the process of future promotion, problems of one kind or another will inevitably arise.Gao Yue's talent is ignorant, and he only knows this little. If there is something wrong, the two adults will forgive it and don't take it seriously. "

Although Gao Yue said it simply, he was very clear, and pointedly and implicitly explained the source of the disaster victims' crimes. In fact, when they formulated the performance appraisal system for disaster relief officials, they did not start from the victims of the disaster, but only thought of how to restrict officials. If there is no corruption, then if the system continues, even if the victims of the disaster cannot react for a while, they will still be unable to react after a long time.Some of the disaster victims who were already provocative naturally wanted to commit crimes.

After all, they still have to perfect a new version of the system.

No one said a word in the imperial study room for a while.Even though Gao Yue's words were very modest and her attitude was very close to the people, her words still slapped the court officials present like an invisible hand, making them feel ashamed for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Feiqi also collapsed for a while, and seeing that the effect was almost achieved, she opened her mouth pretending to be emotional, but said, "It's a pity that Yueer's talent is relegated to the harem."

Gao Yue:! ! !

Damn, why do these words sound so unkind? !

Zhou Feiqi's remark not only caught Gao Yue's fault, but even the court officials present also heard a little implication.

In the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one is not allowed to engage in politics, no matter how talented a person is, as long as he enters the emperor's harem, it is simply a fantasy to display his ambitions in the court.However, Brother Da Zhou has been raised with men since childhood. Before they knew their exact gender, they all received the same education as ordinary men. Among them, there are naturally many who are amazingly talented at a young age.It's just that after being differentiated into brothers, no matter how talented you are before, you can't escape the fate of marrying and having children in the end.If unfortunately selected and entered the royal harem, it would be even more tragic, tantamount to falling directly to the place closest to the court.It's fine if you don't have great ambitions, but if you are full of economics, you can imagine what kind of pain it will be.

Of course, there are very few lucky ones.Among them, Zhou Feiqi's biological father, Taijun Xiaoci, is the most famous.According to legend, this prince offered advice to the late emperor many times and won the favor of the late emperor. He even participated in the national policy in the Imperial Study Room under the instruction of the late emperor, and made indelible contributions to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Therefore, when the people of the world heard that he died in childbirth, they felt sorry for him several times for the late emperor and Da Zhou, and many literati wrote epilogues to praise his merits.

In his life, Taijun Xiaoci was fortunate enough to participate in the government, and he was also the envy of countless brothers and sisters in the whole country.Even if his life was as short as a burst of fireworks, his legendary experience has been deeply imprinted in people's memory.

With this antecedent, and Zhou Feiqi said such words again, after hearing this, all the officials at the scene would inevitably wonder whether this is a sign that the current emperor wants to follow the example of the late emperor and help another brother from the Gao family to rise to power.Of course, the pros and cons involved are complicated, so most people dare not open their mouths, but there is one person who agrees without any scruples. This person is Mr. Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Households who had a particularly happy quarrel with the Minister of the Ministry of War just now.

This old man, by coincidence, is the mentor of Gao Yue's cousin, the servant of the household department. If his apprentice's nephew can enter the imperial study and participate in the national policy, it will be beneficial to him without any harm.Therefore, at the moment when everyone else was silent, the old man coughed twice, smiled at His Majesty the Emperor, and said: "If Your Majesty feels that Gao Shijun has been wronged, why not follow the example of the late Emperor and allow him to enter the imperial study?"

However, after Zhou Feiqi heard this, she didn't express her opinion immediately, but shook her head with a sigh, and said: "Li Shangshu doesn't know something, Yueer's child is very lazy, what can he do in the imperial study?"

"Accompanying the king is the duty of serving the king. Could it be that his majesty asked him to grind his ink, can he still be lazy?"

"Oh, so it seems that it is not impossible?"

As Zhou Feiqi said, he cast a sideways glance at Gao Yue, and saw Gao Yue was also looking at him, but his eyes were full of angry warnings, as if to say, 'Enough is enough, hey! Zhou Feiqi smiled faintly. Originally he wanted to ask Gao Yue's opinion, but when he saw Gao Yue's eyes, he immediately changed his words and said, "That's how it is. After a few days, when you come back from the temple, you will come to the Imperial Study Room for my research." ink."

Gao Yue: Your sister!Whoever wants to grind ink for you, I will never come back after I leave! !

The quarrel among the ministers in the imperial study ended with the revision of the 'official performance appraisal system' in the disaster relief draft, and finally came to an end.Gao Yue was finally able to escape, followed behind Zhou Feiqi, and returned to the Jiyang Palace.

No time has passed, everyone is hungry because Gao Yue and Zhou Feiqi haven't had lunch yet.When Zhou Feiqi arrived, he glanced at everyone's expressions and ordered Eunuch Hu to arrange lunch immediately, as a farewell banquet for Gao Yue and Taoist Chi Yun.

Finally going out of the palace, Gao Yue ate this meal extremely quickly, and after eating, he sat in a daze and was distracted thinking about his escape plan, completely oblivious to the fact that the emperor's eyes glued to him were getting deeper and deeper.

After the meal, Gao Yue got into the carriage that Eunuch Zhang had prepared for him again.Seeing that the carriage was too simple, Zhou Feiqi frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is there no more gorgeous carriage in the palace?"

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered back: "The servants prepared a gorgeous carriage before, but our servant said that it would be too extravagant to leave the impression of 'royal extravagance' on the people, so we asked the servants to change it."

"Oh? That's what he said?" Zhou Feiqi raised his eyebrows, seeing Eunuch Zhang smiling and nodding, he said, "He really has a heart."

Eunuch Zhang just wanted to say, "Our servant is always thinking of His Majesty", when he saw the emperor strode towards the carriage, and it took only a blink of an eye to get into the carriage.Before Eunuch Zhang realized what the emperor wanted to do, His Majesty had already come out again.

Afterwards, the emperor seemed to be in a very good mood, and the guard who was driving the carriage shouted, "Let's go."

The guard yelled—Let's go! ! !

The lightly dressed five carriages were escorted by a hundred cavalry guards led by Liang Xiao, and slowly drove towards the outside of the imperial city.

Zhou Feiqi stood at the gate of Jiyang Hall, watched silently for a while, and then turned back to the hall.Eunuch Zhang followed the emperor, and he couldn't see the emperor's mood at the moment. He just felt that the emperor's turn around just now seemed too neat, and he couldn't see the slightest nostalgia for Gao Shijun. He couldn't help feeling that he was the emperor after all. How could there be any sentimentality.

Gao Yue didn't recover from the shock just now until the carriage drove out of the palace and came to the bustling streets of Pingjing City.When he came back to his senses, he also remembered the reason for his fascination. It wasn't Zhou Feiqi, the dog emperor, who actually bit people again and again! ! !

Damn, this time his mouth was gnawed again, this silly dog!

Gao Yue raised her hand and lightly touched her lower lip, then inhaled softly in pain.He couldn't help sticking out the tip of his tongue to lick it carefully, then licked it again, hoping to stop the bleeding as soon as possible.

Through the carriage curtains of a layer of tulle, various human voices rang in Gao Yue's ears.It was also at this time that he felt the reality of this ancient world deeply for the first time.It turns out that Pingjing City is so lively every day!I don't know what this street is, there are vendors on both sides of the street, and there is a grandma selling donkeys?When the carriage passed by her stall, the strong aroma of fried soy bean powder made one's index finger twitch.

Gao Yue subconsciously swallowed her saliva, raised the curtain of the car, and looked back, the grandmother's stall was already a few feet away, and Gao Yue only saw a thin back, an old woman wearing a veil.He only took one look at the outfit, then shrank back.That dress is somewhat similar to the modern Uighurs, but under the ancient background, such a dress should be someone from the Western Regions.Afterwards, through the gauze curtain, he saw a few people wearing costumes of other nationalities who were also setting up stalls to do business. He couldn't help but secretly marveled at the inclusiveness of Pingjing, the capital of the country.

It seems that the Great Zhou under Zhou Feiqi's rule was very strong and prosperous. Although Gao Yue only glimpsed this small corner of this grand scene of people coming to court, he also experienced a kind of prosperity like a prosperous Chang'an.

The carriage went all the way north out of the Xuanwu Gate, and walked along the Yanguan Road for a while, and gradually entered the mountain road.Speaking of it, this Red Cloud Temple can be regarded as a scene in Pingjing, because it was built on the cliff, and before Jianqiao was built, the incense here was not very prosperous.Later, in the time of the first emperor, Chiyunzi used needles to hang his life for the filial and compassionate emperor who had a difficult childbirth at that time. He saved it for three months.The opening of Jianqiao, coupled with the fact that the emperor comes to offer incense every year, brought fire to this humble Taoist temple.

After Zhou Feiqi ascended the throne, the Scarlet Cloud Temple received royal funding twice and built it extensively. Only then did it reach its current scale.The Jian Bridge has also been increased from a bamboo arch bridge to three iron cable copper plate flat road bridges, and the people have changed its name to "Sanxian Bridge". In order to show respect, people come to pray every year Believers hang the prayer bell on the fairy bridge, in order to express the meaning of reaching heaven.

At this moment, Gao Yue and his convoy were slowly walking on the winding mountain road. When they reached the halfway up the mountain, Gao Yue looked at the three iron bridges in front of him, and then at the palace dug out of the cliff on the opposite side. I feel that his escape plan may need to be adjusted again.

This is really helpless, no matter how smart Gao Yue is, how could he have thought that the Chiyun Temple would be built in such a superb location, it is simply ineffective every day, Gao Yue is even thinking about it Do you want to wait for another opportunity when you go down the mountain after the ceremony is over, and suddenly you hear a voice from outside the car window, it is Taoist Chi Yun, he said: "Gao Shijun, I originally wanted to experience walking with you It’s fun to watch Chiyun on the ladder. However, since the emperor sent a carriage to see him off, we had no choice but to go this way. However, the carriage will shake a little when passing this iron bridge. In order to prevent the servant from bumping into you, please come down and walk for a while. !"

Climb the ladder? !

That is, is there another way? !

Gao Yue regained his energy in an instant.Quickly got out of the carriage, jumped in front of Taoist Chi Yun, and asked excitedly: "Where is the stepping ladder?"

Daoist Chi Yun's smile froze slightly, he was slightly surprised, because stepping up the ladder is a long stone step, but everyone who has been to this temple has passed by.Chi Yunzi changed his mind and thought that if he walked by, he might not know the name, so he didn't care, he just said: "The Chiyun Temple has gone through more than a hundred years, this rock wall has been dug back and forth, and the ladder is on the other side. Guanli, if your servant wants to see it, I will accompany you at any time."

"Then there will be Daoist Lao." Gao Yue cupped his hands at Daoist Chi Yun, and said, "Is this chain bridge strong? Will there be no problem with the carriage?"

Daoist Chi Yun said: "There won't be any major problems. It's just that it wobbles a bit. As long as the horse doesn't startle, the cart won't overturn."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yue saw a few guards driving their carriages onto the three iron bridges. Seeing that the posture seemed a bit familiar, Gao Yue couldn't help but wonder, these horses looked so calm, and there was no one. It's just a bad one.

"The horse is blindfolded, so there's nothing wrong with it." Daoist Chi Yun answered Gao Yue's questions with a light smile as if he had guessed what Gao Yue was thinking.

Gao Yue saw that it was true as Taoist Chi Yun said, the horse was blindfolded, and although it walked slowly, it was not startled.He thought with some emotion, this royal horse is really extraordinary.

Five carriages quickly passed the chain bridge.Only then did Taoist Chi Yun lead the crowd onto the bridge.Gao Yue walked onto the bridge only to find that the bridge was more stable than he had imagined, but it was a bit noisy to walk on because it was covered with copper bells. As soon as the bell on this bridge rings, he will be caught immediately, so let's go to see the ladder later, I hope it won't be too cheating.

However, Gao Yue speculates based on the consistent setting of the book "Biography of the Concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty", that the so-called stepping up the ladder is probably not much better than this chain bridge.
