There is no place for women in the courtroom.
Tianli drove them into the boudoir, and they became fragile objects in the small courtyard of the red building. They received all kinds of care from rulers, ministers, fathers and sons. When they were married, they were appraised porcelain vases.
The empress dowager Hua Hewei was born in a prominent family, the daughter of the noble family of the Hua family, and she had never seen the sky outside the wall before and after she was still guarding the wall of the deep courtyard. She took the supreme authority in this world from her husband, but she never stepped out of that line, but lowered the beaded curtain and sat cautiously behind it.
The commander, Qi Zhuyin, was also from a prominent family. She was the direct daughter of the Qi family's general. Before the war, she had decided on a family. After the war, no one dared to marry her. There is no reward that she deserves, only the concession in front of Yulongtai. The Ministry of Rites said that she is not worthy of the privilege of offering a temple behind her. The name Qi Zhuyin has been beaten as the little girl of Qidong. not her.
Xue Xiuzhuo had no intention of supporting Lingting at first. When he knew that the emperor was a daughter, the extreme disappointment made him immediately change his strategy. But when he saw Lingting, he changed his mind.
Because Lingting is too much like Emperor Guangcheng.
As long as they are old officials who have seen Emperor Guangcheng, they can see Lingting's origin at a glance - this is an outlier under the incest of the Li family.
During the Yongyi years, when the East Palace fell, the only reason for Emperor Guangcheng to leave the palace was to visit the sick King of Qin and his beautiful wife who was powerless to resist. Emperor Guangcheng did not have a favored concubine in the late Yongyinian period. After he fell ill, Hua Hemi, the empress, took over the former court and the harem to prevent him from giving birth to another heir. In this layer of walls, Emperor Guangcheng set his eyes on his daughter-in-law.
It's a pity that Princess Qin gave birth to a girl.
Emperor Guangcheng is like an old lion with all his strength. After learning the news, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and he completely lost his ambition. King Qin didn't know if he had heard anything, but he died of illness not long after, and threw Lingting out of the capital before she died, but she seemed destined to be picked up by Xiangyun again.
When Xue Xiuzhuo found Lingting, she was vulgar and already in her teens. Xue Xiuzhuo wanted to pull her back to the position of the heir. It was difficult at first. She had wasted too much time in Xiangyunfang, and she wanted to wipe away those extra traces. If she was not firm enough, Xue Xiuzhuo would not be able to do it even if she had the power to reach the sky.
But Lingting actually "corrected" herself step by step. She scraped off those vulgar and frivolous things from her body bit by bit. At first, she didn't know enough words, so she studied hard all night. If she couldn't write the strokes well, she practiced day and night. She seemed to be left to the Li family by God. The last remaining strength of his efforts allowed Xue Xiuzhuo to see a subtle light in the decadent situation.
A few months ago, the humid rain and fog enveloped the acacia flowers. When Qi Huilian rejected Xue Xiuzhuo in the attic, Lingting was sitting on the seat and writing.
She was writing so hard that she almost broke the paper.
After Lingting finished writing, she turned her head to look at the pattering rain. She looked at it for a long time without expression. Later, when Xue Xiuzhuo came to accompany Lingting to dinner, she sat down and ate very well. Xue Xiuzhuo pays attention to eating without speaking, and they never speak when eating. After dinner, he would test Lingting's homework, which was the top priority of the day, and Lingting had to answer it neatly. Xue Xiuzhuo never beat or scold her, but he was harsher than anyone else.
"Sir," Lingting paused for a moment when she bowed her head and said, "Am I going to change Mr.?"
Xue Xiuzhuo sorted out the booklet and said indifferently, "You shouldn't consider this matter."
Lingting was silent, she propped herself up and listened to Xue Xiuzhuo stand up and walk towards the door. She suddenly turned her face to the side, looked at Xue Xiuzhuo, and said, "Because I'm a woman?"
Xue Xiuzhuo stood still, turned around, and looked at Lingting. Lingting's eyes will not dodge, her calmness is exactly the same as that of Xue Xiuzhuo.
"I'm a woman," Lingting said. "If Mr. Xin refuses to teach me for this reason, then I ask to see him."
Xue Xiuzhuo turned around again and changed his shoes. The rain outside increased, and he said, "No, you have no relationship with him as a teacher or student, and I will continue to teach you."
"Fate is the most difficult thing to do. It's hard to find a holy teacher. I don't want to miss a gentleman." Lingting supported herself and stood up, "Sir."
But Xue Xiuzhuo ignored it and did not answer. He lifted the curtain, and the waiter who was waiting outside hurriedly held an umbrella. He didn't let the servants touch the booklet, so he went down the stairs and left.
Lingting stood on the spot, and through the gap in the curtain, she saw Xue Xiuzhuo shake a few times before disappearing into the rain. She knew that this was Xue Xiuzhuo's silent rejection. No matter what other people say about Xue Xiuzhuo, in Lingting's eyes, he is extremely calm under the mask of gentleness and elegance. He even has some conceit, he will not be manipulated by others, and it is difficult to listen to others.
Ling Ting could only give up, she sat back, opened the strategy theory left by Xue Xiuzhuo, and copied Xue Xiuzhuo's words. But she will never write differently, because she will not converge roundly, her strokes are like steel sharp edges, and they will never turn around.
* * *
A few months later, the scorching sun scorched Yulongtai, where courtiers, such as Hai Liangyi, were kneeling densely. After six months, Han Cheng brought back a boy from his own family, and claimed that the boy was the descendant of the Li family.
Hai Liangyi's condition has turned around under Yao Wenyu's careful care. The first thing he did in court was to dismiss Han Cheng's book as the cabinet's Yuan Fu, and asked the public to verify the identity of this son. But the emperor of Li's family is dead, and the queen mother alone can't determine whether this son is the legacy of Li's family.
"During Yongyi's reign, I was the acquaintance of the eight major battalions, and I was also the number one general under the command of Lord Guangcheng. I have a private letter from Lord Guangcheng, Yuan Fu, isn't that enough?" The court refuted Hai Liangyi.
After Hai Liangyi became ill, his energy was not as good as before, and his hands trembled when he stood for a moment. He came out and said, "There is no basis for empty words. If the commander is willing to publicize the private letter and submit it to the cabinet for review, you and I don't need to be in court anymore. Do this kind of battle of words in the court."
Han Cheng sneered in his heart, there is no emperor's heir at the moment, and the vacancy of the emperor's throne is what Hai Liangyi should be worried about. He is so unwilling to give in, he must have already found a candidate, and said: "Now the emperor's throne has been vacant for more than a month, Yuan Fu. What are you waiting for? The cabinet has been discussing and discussing, but hasn't a charter been negotiated?"
Hai Liangyi was sweating all over his body, and he felt a little tight in his chest, so he took a breath and said, "We focus on the genealogy, and found that the second son of the former King Yan's concubine is still in Huaizhou. This is the bloodline of the Li family that can be traced. , the current candidate for the crown prince is none other than him."
"King Yan was the King of Huaizhou in Wan Xuannian, his direct line was killed at Luoxia Pass, and all the descendants that were pushed down were side branches. How can it be called the bloodline of Li's family? The second son of King Yan's concubine is almost old. How can he still be in power?" Han Cheng groaned, "Besides, the road is long and bumpy, how can he endure this tossing him? Yuan Fu, this matter cannot be discussed in detail at all!"
The two sides were arguing, and there were students from Guozijian kneeling outside. The queen mother listened for a while through the beaded curtain before she said: "Although this matter is imminent, there is still room for negotiation. Elder Ge, the cabinet minister, there is nothing perfunctory in the Ai family. If you have any objections, you can come. Minglitang has an interview with Aijia, and let the students leave."
She spoke softly, but Hai Liangyi could hear her displeasure.
Although Han Cheng strongly pushed this son, he was always the acquaintance of the eight major camps in the past, and he did not let the officials of the aristocratic family follow him. This is so that the Han family can become the only support for the new emperor after things are done, and the second is to avoid suspicion.
Avoiding suspicion of these two is extremely important.
Hua Siqian and Pan Rugui are both planted in the ignorance of avoiding suspicion, and forming a party for personal gain is a taboo in the DPRK. The queen mother has been in power again for a long time. She is now like an emperor. The most unsightly thing is that her servants gather together to form a force that can coerce her to make decisions. Therefore, she did not promote poor officials to show her favor, nor to stabilize her authority. And promote family officials. She seems to understand that Da Zhou has reached a certain point. It is better to give it to herself than to pin her hopes on a puppet like a few years ago.
Hai Liangyi was ill for two months, during which time, the officials of the poor family were very upset. Kong Qiu and Cen Yu were the leaders, and there were many private discussions. Not only that, but the students of Taixue dared to talk about state affairs. It was only in June, and there were already rumors that the Queen Mother had seized power and became independent.
The queen mother did not talk to Hai Liangyi, but increased the number of visits by the eunuchs. This was a disguised urging, so Hai Liangyi only arrived in June, and just after her condition improved, she went to court. Although he has insisted that he has no party or faction for the past few decades, he has become the trend of the world's cold people. This is something he can't deny even if he wants to deny it. He has become some kind of powerful "Potential".
Hai Liangyi was ill, and the whole world panicked. Hai Liangyi rejected Han Cheng's petition, and the empress dowager hadn't replied yet, and the officials and students had already knelt for a day. He unknowingly became the queen mother's heart disease, far surpassing the domineering Han Cheng.
Hai Liangyi held on to his body and said, "Students of Guozijian have the position of deliberation, and the court is the place where the world attracts attention. When there is discussion, there is only policy. The queen mother is now in charge of the government and diligent in everything, but when officials are established, it is easy to It is for the superiors to share the worries and for the inferiors. They are worried about the state affairs, which is the blessing of Dazhou, and the affairs of the prince are not family affairs. The ministers thought that only by letting them be here can they talk about the new emperor."
The hall is not stuffy, with bamboo curtains hanging everywhere and crushed ice. For Hai Liangyi, it was even a little cool. After he answered this, he bowed his head and stood. The queen mother behind the bead curtain was silent for a while, and then replied slowly when Hai Liangyi's legs and feet were sore.
"Elder Ge is right, and the Aijia will listen to you. Regarding the second son of King Yan's concubine, the Aijia has not seen the genealogy, so it is not easy to draw a conclusion. But Han Cheng's people have already arrived, and you want to be checked by Dali Temple. , or Zuo Cha of the Ministry of Punishment? The Aijia listens to you."
The author has something to say: If a character's reasons for appearing are not convincing and his actions are not logical, then whether he is male or female, it cannot change the collapse of the story. When I first did a mind map about characters, I thought that female characters might be discussed, but I didn't expect to have a discussion about whether their entire book is enough for drama. When Qi Zhuyin appeared, someone mentioned that I replaced Mary Sue by myself, but in fact, the previous year when I entered the wine, I let go of a few jokes on Weibo. Among the characters that appeared at that time were Qi Zhuyin and Lingting.
If her appearance is unreasonable, then it must be reasonable to replace him.
