Concubine Yu's biography

Yu Bichu, who hurried back to the palace unhurriedly, found several ministers in charge of female officials.

Compared with the abolishment of the civil official law, the female official law has not received much attention.Obvious examples are Zhu Qing and Cai Shaolun.The complete opening of the civil official law can eliminate the discrimination they suffer in the officialdom, and even further develop it, while the female official law is just a small preferential policy, which reflects the deepening reform of the imperial court.

Yu Bi asked them to wait for a while, and asked Yu Jiao to invite someone.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, with similar thoughts in their minds, they all guessed when the person who was about to be present was promoted, and there was no news at all.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Jiang Peihan saluted dignifiedly amidst a bunch of stunned eyes.

"Pingshen." Yu Bichu turned to several people and said, "The law of female officials is fundamentally different from that of civilian officials and family officials, and is contrary to the trend of Shang Yu and even any dynasty in history, so you don't pay much attention to it in terms of concepts. "

His words broke people's hearts, and several ministers hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Although my queen lives in the palace and rarely sees the sky, she is both civil and military, and she is not inferior to men. She will preside over the women's examination this time, and it can be regarded as giving confidence to girls who have no bottom." He said in one breath. After that, look at Jiang Peihan, "The queen understands?"

Jiang Peihan bowed and no longer claimed to be a concubine, "Peihan knows it well."

Yu Bichu glanced at the crowd, "That's it, the specific test-taking process will be drafted before the end of the month, let's go."

Everyone turned away.

Sitting alone on the empty throne, Yu Bichu saw the golden door bit by bit blocking out the light from the outside. After closing it tightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, put one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples continuously.

Seeing this situation, Yu Jiao didn't dare to say a word, the emperor had been suffering from headaches for some time, but he insisted not to see the imperial doctor, and he was not allowed to talk too much, so it kept procrastinating.

"Your Majesty..." He still couldn't hold back his words.

"I'm fine." He waved his hand, and just as he finished speaking, an eunuch knocked on the door and came in to deliver a message, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu Lin is here."

Yu Bichu sighed, "Xuan."

After Xu Lin came in to salute, he glanced around and didn't speak. After Yu Bi asked everyone to back off, he opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, do you have any intention to choose a concubine recently?"

"..." Yu Bi curled his lips, "Mr. Xu, speak up if you have something to say."

Xu Lin knelt down and said slowly: "The Wang family is planning to choose a concubine for you recently. Many aristocratic families are involved in it, and they are planning to jointly write a letter."

Yu Bichu wanted to tell him to get up first, but when he heard about the choice of concubine, his heart froze and he forgot.

"Join the letter? I have a queen and heirs, which clan law did I violate? Do I need them to sign the letter together?"

"This... I don't know..." He seemed to be honest and said.

Yu Bichu was speechless by his appearance as a loyal and veteran minister, so he could only let out a sigh of relief, "Get up and talk first."

Xu Lin straightened his back, lowered his head, and said, "I implore the emperor to agree to the choice of concubine."

After a moment of silence, Yu Bichu's heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and his gaze was also very indifferent.

"Your Majesty..." As soon as Xu Rin opened his mouth, the bad-tempered emperor shook his hands and said bluntly: "There is no need to say more, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Xu Lin persisted and said: "Emperors of past dynasties have numerous harems. Since you have a queen, why do you care about how many more concubines?" There is really not much difference between one and several.His implication is that Ji Yuan can accept which one, so it doesn't matter how many more.

But when he married Jiang Peihan, he had no feelings for Ji Yuan... Or, he didn't know that kind of feeling.

Yu Bi got a headache when he thought about it. Ji Yuan left on his wedding night, and the look in his eyes was deeply engraved in his heart at that time. Looking at it from the current standpoint, he feels that he is simply an asshole.

"Okay," Yu Bichu suddenly raised his head and said, "If they can find a woman who is more beautiful and talented than my queen, I will accept the concubine."

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Your Majesty, this is a difficult situation for a strong man..." The decision is all in the hands of the Emperor, no matter how good others think, what can he do if he vetoes it, this is just a breather than a refusal It's just a chance.

"Since it's difficult, don't do it." Yu Bichu said mercilessly, "Since I have made a promise, I will definitely keep it to the end. Is it possible that if a person does one wrong thing, he should do the second thing as he should?" The third piece?"

Xu Lin was helpless, he couldn't say anything to Yu Bi for the sake of the overall situation, Ji Yuan was not only a Nilin he couldn't touch, but also a deep-rooted cancer in his flesh and blood.

It took many generations to wait for an emperor who kept his word and acted wisely.He waited and watched for several months with a neutral attitude, and was quite satisfied with the emperor, but unfortunately, he had feelings that he didn't understand, and the restricted area was too tight.

He is more than 60 years old, and he will be like this all his life, but old age does not hinder his ambition.He still wanted to give the young emperor a hard push and walk on a better path.

……

On the boundless sea where the direction cannot be distinguished, a lone ship sailed along the waves.

Ji Yuan has always disliked tying his hair, the feeling of tightening his scalp gives people a sense of deep restraint, and many of Shang Yu's spontaneous rules and regulations are also completely nonsensical, but he sticks to himself.

This sea...is different from the two times I saw it before, and it is also different from what I saw on the pier...Because Yu Bi got seasick, he hardly ever left his room, let alone enjoying the sea breeze on the deck like this ...It can't be said that I'm enjoying everything aside...

He tilted his head, his neatly tied hair was not messed up in the violent sea breeze, but his heart was very happy.

Zhuge Jie also came out with San'er, the hunting wind carried warmth and moisture, the brutal cold wind in all directions in Yudu seemed to have separated a world, and those sorrows and worries seemed to be separated by a barrier.

Far away from the native land where they were born and raised, it coincidentally brought the three of them a dripping experience of freedom.

At this time, a guy who moved the goods passed by and said, "Masters, the wind is cool, but if you blow too much, you will get rashes on your face. You should go to the room to rest!"

Ji Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then walked to the guy with a playful smile, and took out a small round box.

The man looked at the freshness, picked it up to look at it, and asked, "What is it?"

Ji Yuan opened the lid and spread some on his face with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Rash prevention, you have blown a lot more than us, you should apply more."

"Hey——" The man couldn't accept Ji Yuan's direct familiarity with this stranger, so he quickly avoided it, and said while wiping his face: "We don't need this for our rough skin, sir, you can keep it by yourself." Let's go." After saying that, he smiled and ran away.

Ji Yuan stayed where he was with some embarrassment, looking helplessly at the exquisite round box in his hand, and raised his hand to cover it.

From a certain stage, he found that his usual routine could no longer integrate into a certain group, and everyone shunned his enthusiasm, and almost no one appreciated his goodwill.

He also suddenly thought, maybe he used to be too wishful thinking that talking warmly meant getting close.

Zhuge Jie and San'er came over, San'er looked at the box in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Ji Yuan handed it to him, "The ointment used at sea was brought over from the Peng Islands."

San'er opened it and asked, frowning.Zhuge Yu also frowned when he smelled this smell. This smell does not belong to any herbal medicine, what is it.

Ji Yuan seemed to see their repulsion, and explained: "I don't know exactly what to do, but it's not exciting, and it's really easy to use at sea."

"It should be medicine that can cure rashes. I have studied the medicine patch you brought back from the Penglian Islands. I really didn't understand what it was made of." Zhuge Jie said frankly.

He smiled, "The world is full of wonders. This time I go to Xianqi, maybe I can find many things that I have never heard or seen before!"

San'er thought about it, but couldn't imagine a place full of novelties, so she felt a little more anticipation.

Zhuge Yu was obviously stable, and his tone was a bit arrogant, "Where there is no special product, but I have never touched it, so there is no need to treat it like a god."

Indeed, but Ji Yuan's trip was not to broaden his horizons.After he uploaded it, he inquired about these goods with the boatmen for a long time, but they all kept silent, as if they were discussing.It's not too much for him to be a boat passenger on the way, so he can only dry it slowly and wait for the right time.

San'er closed the lid and returned it to him. There was no gloomy look on his brows, he was still a simple boy.

The three of them blew the sea breeze for a while, and San'er was a little sleepy, so he went back to the cabin to rest first, and they continued to blow the wind side by side silently.Then Ji Yuan raised the topic, from Xing Xing to Li Chu.

Zhuge Yu remained calm, but he knew exactly what Ji Yuan was thinking.Most of what happened to Li Chu was told by Yu Bichu, and this trip to Xianqi was also for Yu Bichu's desperation.Many years ago, he felt that the two of them would never be able to get together. At that time, Yu Bi had no heart, Ji Yuan had no lungs, and the friendship of a young man could only focus on how many days, but in the blink of an eye, it really failed.

"In the end, you still accept your fate."

"I don't accept my fate."

One said and one refuted, and there was no gap in the connection.

"I follow my own heart. It is inevitable for people to make mistakes, but I really have no regrets at all." Ji Yuan said.

Zhuge Yu looked at him and didn't answer for a long time.

"Whether you say it's resignation or struggle, I don't think so. On the contrary, sir, you keep saying that, are you worthy of yourself in your heart?"

Ashamed of myself...Zhuge He laughed.He lowered his head, all these years, there was not a moment when he was not escaping the yearning for Li Tuo and the repentance for that year, but these were of no avail.So Ji Yuan's sentence "never regret it" poked into his heart.

Sometimes, he really didn't know whether to accuse the young people of their self-righteousness or to reflect on their own cowardice.

"It's all in the past..." he said.

"Li Chu is still alive, so is this over?" Ji Yuan asked back, and then said calmly, "This journey will take at most a few months. If he appears again after returning, do you still intend to continue with this attitude?"

"Are you teaching me?" Zhuge Jie raised the corners of his eyes, he was neither like the wide body and fat jumping doctor who gnawed on chicken legs, nor the safe military doctor who gave medicine to soldiers without saying a word on the battlefield.

Ji Yuan frightened him for a moment, as if facing a real elder, even a bold elder.

He couldn't imagine how much Zhuge Jie had changed himself because of Li Chu's incident.

"I don't have the weight to speak," he said, "I just ask you to consider the people around you. The removal of Li is not only meaningful to you. You can't limit others' right to know because of your own feelings."

His previous sentence covered a wide range, but the last sentence pointed directly at one person——San'er.

But it’s a bit too much to say that restricting what others can understand. Zhuge Hao is definitely not the only one who understands Li Chu in the world. What qualifications do these "others" have to force Zhuge Hao to say things he doesn't want to say?

Zhuge Yu didn't refute, nor did he intend to open his heart.The knot in his heart is deader than anyone imagined.

Ji Yuan was fascinated by staring at the back of Zhuge Yu in the cabin, and suddenly there was the sound of a whistle in the distance, and a big ship with black smoke was slowly approaching.

The author has something to say:

This chapter... also suddenly felt that Yu Bichu was very pitiful...
