such as Yue Linyuan

In the dark prison, wearing brocade clothes, his hair was a little disheveled, but he managed to maintain a decent appearance. Chu Yunwen, who had been imprisoned for a few days and looked haggard, sat against the corner. This was a room without any windows and no light. There were only two candles lit outside the cell, and even the air was a bit dull in the prison.

In the past few days, Chu Yunwen didn't eat any food brought in, and only when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would drink the bowl of clean water.

Because of not seeing the light for a long time, Chu Yunwen has lost the concept of time, and cannot calculate exactly how many days have passed.

He was imprisoned in such a daze, waiting for his only fate.

Most of the time in the prison was extremely quiet, and when footsteps sounded again, Chu Yunwen didn't react too much, he thought that someone came to bring him food again.

Therefore, when the unforgettable feminine male voice sounded, Chu Yunwen raised his head almost instantly, and then rushed to the door of the cell.

"I heard that King Qing hasn't eaten a single grain of rice these days, but he is afraid that the food is poisonous, and he will be poisoned to death in such a silent manner?" Si Yuanting stood in front of the cell door, looking through the door, he was already so hungry. Chu Yunwen, who was weak and unable to get up, had an emotionless expression that made him look extremely cold, "King Qing can rest assured, I prefer to see blood when killing people, and I am not interested in using poison."

Chu Yunwen looked up at Si Yuanting. Even though he was over [-] years old, his face could still amaze everyone at first glance. At this moment, under the flickering candlelight, it looked a bit gloomy. There was a chill in the sky, the fact that Si Yuanting would appear here meant that Ming and Qingqiu had also lost, and neither he nor Ming and Qingqiu were just clowns in Si Yuanting's eyes.

With ten fingers tightly grasping the door of the cell, even the phalanges turned white due to excessive force, Chu Yunwen made a hoarse voice from the voice that hadn't spoken for a few days: "You guys, from the very beginning, found out, yes ?"

"Which thing is King Qing referring to?" Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yunwen coldly and condescendingly, "Do you want to harm the eldest son of the emperor, and then support your own son to become the crown prince; Future troubles? Or, you have been in contact with Ming and Qingqiu all these years?"

The corners of Chu Yunwen's mouth turned down, even his shoulders were slumped, and he said dejectedly: "As expected, you all know." Not only do you know, but you have already set up a plan, and you will only invite you into the urn when he and Ming Qingqiu can't hold back.

"Your Majesty gave you a chance. If you didn't have a second heart, you could have lived a stable life in Weizhou." Si Yuanting didn't mind letting Chu Yunwen know how he lost. Why do you think the son born to Concubine Zheng's adultery stayed in the palace? You are not a law-abiding person, and I always like to let the prey fall into the net. Your son is not neglected for a moment in the palace, and the queen is even more serious. He takes good care of you. Although he is not an emperor, he is self-aware and grateful, so when your letter is in his hands, he will report it to His Majesty the next day. From the beginning to the end, your son never Standing by your side."

"This king misjudged the situation in the palace." Chu Yunwen has already figured out everything in the past few days, "I haven't really spent a day with Hui'er, but I naively think that he will recognize this king. This biological father; and you and Your Majesty are taking Hui'er both as a hostage and as a pawn, cultivating a true relationship with Hui'er, so that he will not be moved even in the face of temptation... Oh, Si Yuanting, in fact, you are also tempting Hui'er, if Hui'er hadn't reported this king's letter to His Majesty, then now, Hui'er is probably locked up in this dark prison waiting to die like this king."

"From the first day I entered the palace, I learned one thing." Si Yuanting did not deny, "There is no one trustworthy in the palace, so I never trust anyone other than myself."

Chu Yunwen stared at Si Yuanting with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through this man who had controlled the power in the palace and the court for half his life. He was so hard that his bloodshot eyes were slightly protruding. After a while, he said: "But you believe in your majesty, Si Yuanting. Other things may be false, but the fact that you have a relationship with your majesty is always true."

"So what if it's true, Your Majesty and I have long worshiped heaven and earth to be husband and wife, and we sleep together every day. So what if you know?" Si Yuanting knew what Chu Yunwen wanted to say, and he didn't bother to explain it to Chu Yunwen , and don’t like to hear others criticize his wife and cousin, “It’s okay if you want to laugh at me as a eunuch. After all, I’ve heard countless bad things over the years. It is clear whether you really want to criticize Your Majesty and the Queen in front of me. After all, apart from Huier, you have a wife and children in Weizhou, and I have always held grudges. You can say those embarrassing things, but after you finish speaking It's hard to say whether your wife and children can still leave a whole body."

"Laugh... This king is just a prisoner waiting to die, so what can he laugh at you?" Chu Yunwen let go of his hands grabbing the door, and sat down on the bone-chilling ground. He was aware of his situation, and Ben He is already a bereaved dog, if he continues to bark, it will have no other effect except to make his death more ugly and implicate his wife and children, why should he bother?He is a member of the royal family, even if he has suffered a crushing defeat, he still wants to retain the last bit of dignity as a vassal king.

"If Prince Qing could be so transparent earlier, he wouldn't have fallen to this point." Si Yuanting didn't want to waste any more time here, and said, "Your Majesty has already told you that you will be punished tonight."

"Punishment of Ling Chi." Chu Yunwen was not surprised when he heard this. He knew that he would not die so easily, so he hesitated, and asked, "Can you tell me something for me? I am still in Weizhou." wife and children?"

Si Yuanting still looked at Chu Yunwen expressionlessly, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Chu Yunwen couldn't say what was on his lips.

An eunuch walked into the prison with food, and under Si Yuanting's signal, sent the plate of food from under the gate into the cell.

"You still have half an hour, don't waste this last meal." After Si Yuanting finished speaking, he turned and left the prison without looking at Chu Yunwen again.

As for Chu Yunwen, sitting numbly on the ground and watching Si Yuanting's leaving back, his eyes were still wide open and two lines of tears fell down in a daze.

In his life, he has been drifting with the tide most of the time, and he retreats every time he reaches a critical moment. He didn't even fight for the woman he loves to marry another man; he has always been a man with empty ambitions but no courage. Now he fought with all his strength for the son he had never seen before, and he was completely defeated, but what he regretted was the wasted first half of his life.

After all, it is mediocrity and nothing can be achieved.

Si Zhuxi's words and deeds in the court hall, with Chu Yuezhi's deliberate fueling, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and spread to the thirteen provinces outside the capital.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and what Si Zhuxi said aroused the empathy of many women, and won the support of a large number of women who have gone through hardships and fallen into prostitution. Supporting the emperor's virtue made people in the capital talk about it, but this time, they no longer had so much sympathy, malice and contempt for Si Zhuxi, but a little more appreciation, understanding and even praise.

While Si Zhuxi's reputation was rising, the first plan for establishing a girls' school was drafted, and Si Yuanting's remarks on the necessity and benefits of setting up a girls' school in the court also spread and gained a lot of recognition.Not only the powerful and the rich recognized the benefits of education for women, but even ordinary people began to discuss that perhaps they should let the girls in the family learn more, and maybe they could take the opportunity to raise their status in the future.

The situation is very good, even though there are still some voices of opposition among the courtiers and the capital, the establishment of a women's school is a certainty.

Soon, the court issued a notice that a women's school would be established in Beijing in the near future, and the thirteen provinces would then make adjustments based on the actual effects of the establishment of a women's school in the capital and then set up local women's schools.

Shortly after the announcement of the establishment of a girls' school was issued, the eldest son of the emperor, Chu Shendu, was also officially established as the crown prince.

As for the Ming and Qing courts, after the joint trial of the three divisions, several crimes were punished and sentenced to death.In the Ming clan, adult males were beheaded, minors were exiled to the frontier, and neither wife nor daughter were official slaves.The Si family's sentence back then all fell on the members of the Ming family.

The rest of the implicated court officials were all dismissed and sentenced.

Because of the need to select senior and capable people from the existing courtiers to replace them, many newcomers to the court who have just passed the three-year examination and are still inexperienced have also taken this opportunity to be promoted, and the court has been renewed as a result. meteorological.

Chu Yunwen, king of Qing Dynasty, was sentenced to Lingchi for entering Beijing without an edict and forming a party for personal gain.Because his wife is a hero, she was exempted from sitting together, and she was allowed to take her son back to her mother's house with amnesty.

Not only that, Chu Yuezhi even reformed the existing vassal system by taking advantage of King Qing Chu Yunwen.

The existing system of enfeoffment and vassal vassals caused a heavy burden on the imperial court due to the need to support the royal families in various places. Therefore, Chu Yuezhi decreed that the hereditary system of vassal kings would be abolished from now on, and replaced by demotion to nobility. If you don't have that ability, you will get lower and lower until you lose your status as a royal family member.

Previously, in order to avoid the rebellion of the vassal kings, there were many restrictions on the vassal kings. In response to this, Chu Yuezhi also relaxed to a certain extent. The basic policy is that although the titles of the vassal kings will be withdrawn with the reproduction of their descendants, there is no restriction on the achievements of the descendants. Anyone who has the ability and is willing to serve the court and the Daheng Kingdom will speak for themselves on the basis of their political achievements, just like other court ministers. If they are really capable of making great contributions, they will naturally be promoted again.

The reform of the enfeoffment and vassal system was the method that Chu Yuezhi and Si Yuanting came up with after several discussions.The generation from Daheng Kingdom to Chu Yuezhi is already the ninth generation. The Chu clan has raised too many moths in various fiefs. If things go on like this, Daheng Kingdom will be dragged down one day. In order to avoid such a situation If it happens, the best way is to downgrade to a noble rank, so as not to let this vicious circle continue.

This time Qing Wang Chu Yunwen's incident happened to be the best excuse to attack the existing enfeoffment and the vassal system, which is why Si Yuanting wanted to keep Chu Yunwen's son who had an affair with Concubine Zheng in the palace.It seems to be sitting on the sidelines, but it is actually paving the way in advance, waiting for the best time, and killing two birds with one stone.
