Chapter 274: Xu Rong (Two in One)

"Tai Shi Cheng...... Xu Rong? Bai Tu looked at the list in his hand curiously.

Regarding the stargazing that Tai Shicheng was responsible for, Bai Tu always felt that the development of divination undoubtedly made astronomical observations deviate.

However, this kind of thing is not in a hurry to be corrected, at most it is to raise more "idlers...... What's more, the people of the Taishi Bureau are not considered "idlers", at least they have the role of measuring solar terms, and they can also learn simple weather prediction in the future.

In the former Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu combined some theories of the Yin and Yang schools to establish the Confucian version of the theory of celestial and human induction, and thus astronomical observations began to be closely related to the advantages and disadvantages of governance and the fortune of the dynasty.

Xunzi's "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin" has become an outdated idea......

The most recent and most famous time, the political turmoil caused by celestial phenomena, was at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when he became the emperor, there was a great omen of "Ying Confusion and Guarding the Heart", and as a result, the emperor forced the then prime minister Zhai Fangjin to commit suicide in order to remove the disaster.

However, for Bai Tu, this is not something to worry about in the short term - celestial phenomena are after all "excuses" used by people.

Today's General's Mansion is not something that can be shaken by a celestial phenomenon, and even if there is the most famous "Yingfu Shouxin", the Taishi Bureau must find a way to explain it better, or directly accuse Xu Du's court of being immoral, and it is impossible to have any constraints on Bai Tu just because of the celestial phenomenon.

For example, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the demons were dancing wildly, and Zhai Fangjin was a small expert in political fighting, and finally put himself into the political struggle, which can only be said to be a fighter who fights people constantly.

The First Emperor died in the year that the Luminous Guardian appeared, but ...... Before he died, did anyone dare to say that the glowing guard was a bad omen?

The reason why Bai Tu was surprised was because in terms of symbolism, Lu Kang actually recommended a woman in such an important department?

Lao Lu's ideological realm is getting higher and higher?

"The art of contemplating the sky has always been taboo in the imperial court, and it is profound and obscure, although Xu Rong is a woman, but now among the people who know the roots in Jiangdong, she is already the best at it." Lu Kang said righteously.

Bai Tu nodded when he heard this-it is very important to know the roots, Bai Tu himself does not believe in heaven and man, but if he puts a nonsense person in this position, it is also a bad thing.

For example, you weigh ......

Dare to let him be the Taishi Ling, he can make the peaceful and prosperous world all the vernacular.

"Knowing the roots" means not talking nonsense, and the observed celestial phenomena must also serve the overall situation.

"Well, it's okay, but when it comes to female officials, Zibu won't have any prejudices, right?" Bai Tu asked.

Lu Kang's face turned pale when he heard this: "The woman is also a citizen of the General's Mansion, and she can also serve the community, who dares to have any prejudice and impeach in front of the Imperial History Bureau!" The old man also wants to be the first to reason with him! ”

Bai Tu was also very relieved to see that Lao Lu's ideological realm had improved so quickly - sure enough, Lu Lao was different from those bewitching beeps, and there were always some rumors outside recently, saying that the female officials that Bai Tu had sealed were all kept for himself......

The dirty and greasy thoughts are simply disgusting, and a person as pure as Bai Tu can't listen to these at all.

It is also said that the nose has eyes...... The people who spread these rumors should really be allowed to go to Lu Kang's Mansion and let Lao Lu teach them lessons!

"Well, then the Taishi Bureau and the Imperial Envoy Bureau can start to implement it. But this is a young government bureau...... There is some redundancy, and the expenses in the governor's house are just overhead, and now there are only a few housekeepers doing it. Bai Tu has a lot of opinions about the Shaofu Bureau.

Shaofu, to put it bluntly, is to manage the emperor's private treasury.

Because the Chuhou Mansion is not a court after all, in order to show that it still respects the Han family, the departments are only called "bureaus", but they are just ...... Including the Shaofu Bureau, it is obvious that they are all flaunting the standard establishment of the imperial court bureau, large and small, from those who are in charge of hundreds of crafts, responsible for the shape, and responsible for the garden garden...... to the one in charge of the carriage and the horse, and the one in charge of candle carving...... Even the bridles have to be dedicated officials.

"The lord's words are wrong, if the country is opened with Chu, then the eunuchs and palace maids in the Hou State Palace will not know how many people, referring to the Han Palace in its heyday, the ten in the two, three, the financial complexity is no less than a county, and it is the center, the interests are entangled, and it cannot be regarded as the same as now." Lu Kang said.

"After the Chuhou Mansion, I am not going to overhaul and rebuild, and the matter of building the palace has not been pressed back several times? Thrift is secondary, mainly advocating the prohibition of private slavery for two years, how can I make an exception myself? The matter of eunuchs still follows the pre-Han and pre-Qin rules, no longer placing eunuchs, and abolishing selection. Bai Tu said.

In the pre-Qin period, there were only a few eunuchs castrated, like the eunuch traitor's ancestor Erect Diao, who was the eunuch of the Duke of Qi Huan, and the reason why he was favored was because he castrated himself in order to express his loyalty......

Guan Zhong was persuading Qi Huan Gong when he was dying, people like Ji Diao don't even cherish their own bodies, and they still expect to cherish others?

However, in the end, Qi Huan Gong still felt that Ji Diao was loyal, coupled with another cook who steamed his son to Qi Huan Gong to eat, Qi Huan Gong chose to believe these two loyal ministers, and finally starved to death in the palace, and no one collected the corpse for two months.

Ji Diao can use self-castration to gain trust, which shows that only a few eunuchs were castrated at this time.

Until the time of the Western Han Dynasty, there were also some eunuchs who were sound people, and it was not until after the Eastern Han Dynasty that all eunuchs began to be used.

The palace maid is also the female servant in the palace, in the pre-Qin period, it was mainly used as the palace maid by the family members of the prisoners and the prisoners of the enemy country......

Moreover, the palace maids of the Han Dynasty did not have a clear release process, and occasionally the emperor felt that there were too many people in the palace, or they needed to change their faces, so they would issue an edict to release a group of eligible older palace maids.

Therefore, the situation is worse than in the Ming and Qing dynasties, like Emperor Ling, who was scolded by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and even ordered the palace maid to wear open crotch pants in the palace.

In short, it is the private slave of the royal family.

And Bai Tu has always advocated hiring instead of private slaves, although he has not yet dealt a heavy blow, but ...... After the Criminal Department revised the relevant laws several times, the "deed of sale" that the government will now uphold is limited to a maximum of 10 years.

As for the deed of sale that is valid for more than 10 years, or even for life...... I'm sorry, if you really escape from the government, you won't care, but there will be acts such as private punishment, and once it is reported, the criminal department will also accept it.

Of course, the enforcement of this is not good.

Before Wang Lang revised it, he mentioned to Bai Tu that even if this kind of thing is put into writing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control.

However, what Bai Tu means is that whether it can be controlled or not, the law must be finalized first, and for the time being, no one may come to denounce the lynching, and with the means of the wealthy family, it is not originally up to the government to avoid fugitive slaves, but ...... At the very least, the white chart must first establish that private slavery is illegal.

For these wealthy families, it is a big deal to sign for ten years later, and even ordinary people will not have the concept of "taking up legal weapons", let alone private slaves, and they will not be unable to get along with the general's mansion because of this matter.

As for when it will be implemented...... You can walk slowly and see, and you won't immediately go door-to-door to search for people.

But at least Bai Tu himself has to lead by example, even if he really enters the Marquis of Chu and opens the Marquis Kingdom in the future, it is impossible to engage in eunuchs and lifelong palace maids.

Even if the Han Emperor felt that Bai Tu was virtuous and virtuous in the future, he would have to give way or something, it would still be the case.

The second is that these staff members that Bai Tu can often see, no matter whether they are of the same mind as Bai Tu in this matter, but at least they can't have private slaves in their own homes, otherwise...... It's probably equivalent to working part-time at K Kee, even if you like the set meal of M Kee next door, you can only eat it at home in private, and you can't buy it in front of the boss.

It's like Lu Kang's house...... There are many private slaves of the Lu family, but Lu Kang's lineage, including his son who has no family, and the servants in the family have all been changed to ten-year contracts.

"The Lord is benevolent." Lu Kang complimented, but the tone was not praise or opposition, it can be seen that Lu Kang is as ...... as ever It's just subjective support.

After all, the emperor's etiquette is honored, not only for enjoyment, but more importantly, for the embodiment of majesty!

If it can really be digitized, it can be seen that the "majesty" of the ruler at this time is directly related to the obedience of the people.

Lu Kang understands this, but as before, he chooses to believe that Bai Tu can erase this layer of drawbacks, so even if he doesn't support it, he will try his best to help Bai Tu reduce some resistance to watch the after-effects.

For the positions proposed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, except for the Shaofu Bureau, which was rescheduled and needed to be drastically reduced, most of the other positions were agreed, and as for the specific recommended candidates, there has not been much correction for the time being.

Now Bai Tu is no longer the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period can be described, and even when he is still a virgin, whether it is the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites, even if there is some favoritism based on relatives and distance, he will not bluff Bai Tu.

Now among the six departments, even if it was originally left to the household department to appease the family, there are now many poor families and foreign scholars.

For example, the Imperial Envoy Bureau, which is responsible for supervising and reporting subordinate officials, has specially reserved a large number of positions for the children of the Han family, because I also know that if the Imperial Envoy Bureau dares to let go of the children of the family, Bai Tu will definitely be directly accountable.

And even so, for the main officials, especially some who were not familiar with it before, Bai Tu has no opinion for the time being, but he must meet him first later, and at the same time, he must also provide their wind reviews.

Bai Tu also knew the next day that this Xu Rong was not only a woman, but also ...... Just sixteen!

Originally, I heard Lu Kang say that this Xu Rong is good at stargazing, and Bai Tu has already made up the image of an "old witch" in his brain......

After all, the astronomical observation methods in the Eastern Han Dynasty were limited, the basic principles were missing, and at the same time, they were ...... It is also combined with some theories of gods and gods, how can an "obscure" be described?

If you can be called good at stargazing, you must have been immersed in this way for at least twenty or thirty years, right?

"Sixteen years old...... Are there rumors that she is good at stargazing? Bai Tu asked.

"That's right, many people have heard of this matter in Fuchun County and even in Wu County, and in addition, his temperament is also quite resolute and alert." Tai Shici reported.

Wind reviews may not be credible, especially for those who have not yet been famous, making wind reviews is the same as making characters for later artists.

But......

Women rarely use "fortitude" and "cleverness" to set up characters, so Tai Shi Ci feels that the credibility is not low, on the contrary, if it is an evaluation such as Shuhui and gentleness, Tai Shi Ci will probably not specifically say it.

"Well, since she is recommended by Lu Lao, I want to have some confidence in her in all aspects." Bai Tu nodded.

Because he has not left his full name in history, Bai Tu has not thought for the first time that this Xu Rong is Sun Yi's wife "Mrs. Xu".

In the history without the White Rabbit effect, "Mrs. Xu" also made a big event.

Soon after Sun Yi succeeded his uncle Wu Jing and became the Taishou of Danyang, when Sun Quan was leading troops to defeat Huang Zu, the two generals of Danyang, Fei Lan and Dai Yuan, were dissatisfied with Sun Yi's desire to remove the old bureaucrats in Danyang, and instructed the assassins to kill Sun Yi during the banquet.

Madame Xu not only personally led people to hunt down the assassins, but also when she took control of Danyang, forcibly occupied Sun Yi's other concubines, and was about to plot against Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu made false accusations on the one hand, and used the excuse of mourning for Sun Yi for a few days, and on the other hand, she contacted Sun Yi's henchmen before her death......

Later, after the mourning period expired, Mrs. Xu deliberately changed out of her mourning clothes and made a smile, which made Concubine Lan relax her vigilance, and finally when Concubine Lan came to see her, she directly came out with a knife and axe, chopped it into meat puree, and only left the head to worship Sun Yi.

In the romance, Luo Guanzhong praised: There is nothing in the whole world in the world, and once the rape is destroyed, it will be hoeed. Yongchen died from a thief and a loyal minister, not as good as the female husband of Dongwu!

It can be said that it also contains some subjective resentment from Luo Guanzhong towards the "Hanchen".

From Dong Zhuo, Li Guo, to Cao Cao, Cao Pi......

In the face of the powerful ministers who coerced the Han Emperor, there was no shortage of mediocre ministers who were thieves in the court, and there was no shortage of loyal ministers who dared to die to repay, but in comparison, they were not as good as Mrs. Xu.

If in the face of the coercion of the concubine, Mrs. Xu "from the thief", although she can understand her helplessness, this matter can not be blamed on her, but the traces will not be left in the history books, and if you die of observance, although it will also become a symbol of chaste martyrdom, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it will be very popular, but this kind of martyr is just a pebble in the long river of history, there is no shortage.

However, Mrs. Xu's courage and resourcefulness have made her figure infinitely elevated......

"Have you found out who is making my rumors?" Bai Tu asked specifically.

Although he didn't elaborate, Tai Shici knew that he was talking about the "scandal" about the female official.

I saw Tai Shici say with a sad face: "Where did it come from, I can't find it out, it's just ...... The original version was that this was Lu Lao's speculation......"

Bai Tu said angrily when he heard this: "These people are really shameless, not only questioning my character, but also framing Lu Lao, it's really unancient!" ”

"Lord, do you want to investigate in detail?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

"Forget it...... There's no need to make a fuss about that. Bai Tu said restrainedly.

He knew that Tai Shici's so-called "detailed investigation" was not because Tai Shici worked his own, but with the help of some other means, such as interrogation by the Criminal Department.

After all, it's just a rumor that doesn't have much impact, and the rumors spread in the Central Plains and Jingzhou are much more exaggerated than this, and Baitu is not missing a hair......

The eyes of the masses are bright, before Bai Tu thought that Xu Rong was "Mama Rong", and they all wanted to be appointed, but now they suddenly learned that the other party was a sixteen-year-old girl, Bai Tu was also surprised, but Bai Tu couldn't blame Bai Tu for anything!
