sweeping the world

Chapter 355 The situation is unusual

The royal harem is not divided into sizes, but into grades.

In the same way, aristocratic families have no size, and ladies also have ranks.

Therefore, princesses from various countries are only divided into ranks when they come to Liu Yan.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor's harem system was said to be combined with eight ranks, that is to say, there was only one empress, but there were also created wives, beauties, beauties, eight sons, seven sons, chief envoys, young envoys, and Jieyu.

In the period of Emperor Han Yuan, because the number of people in the harem increased again and again, many new titles were created. There were fourteen classes in total, such as: Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Yu'e, Yanhua, Meiren, Bazi, Chongyi, Qizi, Liangren, Long-term envoys, minor envoys, five palaces, Shunchang, and Wujuan all have their own treatment, and each class has comparable imperial official positions and salaries.

On the same level as Wujuan are Gonghe, Yuling, Baolin, Liangshi, and Yezhe.In addition, there are the sons of the upper family and the sons of the middle family.

Sima 1 Jin State has changed again, such as the establishment of three levels of wives under the empress, concubines, wives, and nobles, and then divided into concubine Shu, Shuyuan, Shuyi, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Xiuyi, and Jieyu The nine concubines, Ronghua, Chonghua, and others are the 27th wives and the 81st wives.

Regardless of whether Liu Yan wants to adopt the Han system or align with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is absolutely no shortage of places that can be arranged in the harem, and that is the confidence to accept all the women on the list.

As a courtier, he naturally hoped that the more women he would be loyal to, the better. This was not only related to the reproduction of the royal family, but also related to themselves.For example, Liu Yan has only one concubine, how can the ministers dare to find more beauties, just like Liu Yan is not easy to enjoy, the king lives a clean and ordinary life, who dares to be extravagant.

To be honest, the sons of the aristocratic family will take at least one concubine as a "hands-on" before marrying their regular wife, so they will have at least one concubine before marrying their regular wife, and the process will definitely increase, so that there will be a big concubine without a formal marriage. Heap of concubines and maidservants.

For a family of Sangyu's level, besides one wife, he also has close to ten concubines, but folks, no matter whether they are wives or concubines, as long as they don't have orders, they don't have a rank.

After the founding of the country, Liu Yan will definitely give some edicts. For example, officials at the level of Sangong and Jiuqing, their wives will have an edict without accident, usually the last few levels under the harem system, but it is not the king who grabs ministers. A wife is an honor to be given.

The Han Dynasty did not implement the nine-rank system, and even the royal harem also adopted the system of the Han and Yuan emperors. Since it is a fourteen-rank system, then there will be no such thing as a few-rank lady. If there is, it will be the Republic, Yuling, and Baolin. , Good Envoy, Night Zer and so on. (It seems to have seen the word "Republic"?)
In the future, there will be more special titles in the Han Dynasty, such as Mrs. Republic, Mrs. Yuling... instead of the husband's surname.

When it comes to taking her husband's surname, after a woman gets married, it is true that a woman must take her husband's surname. For example, her original name is Li XX, and this Li XX married a Lin XX named Lin, so she would usually be called Lin's wife. If you really want to use the full name, it is Lin Li XX.

Those edicts also have a corresponding level, usually linked to the twentieth-class nobility, because of the husband's efforts to benefit the wife, and some nobility can also be passed on to the heirs, this is the so-called conferring wife and son.

Whether or not Cui Wan should be made a queen has not yet been decided. In fact, after Liu Yan founds the country, it is estimated that there will be no queen for a long time, and there will not even be one above the eighth rank.

Then Liu Yan will not be able to give too much. He will only give the "five senses" of [-] stones, the "shunchang" of [-] stones, and the hundred stones of Gonghe, Yuling, Baolin, Liangshi, and Ye Zhe. Canonized.

"This..." Sang Yu hesitated again and again, and said cautiously: "Although it is for the emperor's family, but... will those princesses pay less?"

Liu Yan also knew low, he even wished that countries would not marry princesses.

Sima's daughter is definitely a big pit. Looking at those who married Sima's daughter, almost none of them got any help. On the contrary, those son-in-laws were repeatedly cheated.

The truth is not false, only Liu Yan knew that Huan Wen was being raped by the Princess Nankang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty named Sima Xingnan. It was Huan Wen's direct descendant who was left in the south of the Yangtze River, but Sima Xingnan went north by himself.

After Sima Xingnan went north, the people and things he brought were a bit exaggerated. There were more than 1000 servants alone, and he wanted to move all the beds from the south of the Yangtze River.

Because he brought too many servants (including guards and warriors) and things, Huan Wen did not get much land. Furthermore, it was difficult for Huan Wen to be rewarded with a house without a title. Sima Xingnan wanted to buy land but was told that there were policy restrictions. , she was pointing at the local county magistrate and scolding her in District 1 of Huang 1 Island.

Not to mention Huan Wen, the rest of the people who married the daughters of Sima's family were not much better. The funniest one was Xun Xian, a native of Yingyin County, Yingchuan County (now Xuchang, Henan), who was a minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The sixth grandson of Yu, the son of Xun Song, the doctor of Guanglu.He heard that the Sima royal family wanted to marry their daughter to him, so he ran away without knowing why.

For the rest of the countries, the princess of the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family can accept her, but this princess is actually Zhang Shi's daughter, that is, Zhang Jun's younger sister, and the candidate for marriage is not Zhang Jun's daughter.

The Zhang family is still a relatively good royal family. They seldom get involved in the bad things in the Central Plains. Since the establishment of Zhang's Liang Kingdom, they have really taken on the responsibility of protecting the Han people, and have been committed to recovering the Western Regions that have been under the control of the Western Han and Eastern Han. .

What is more important to Liu Yan is that the Zhang family is relatively "moderate", and they have no ambition to compete in the Central Plains, so there will not be many conflicts.

Seriously speaking, if Liu Yan knew the historical records of the Zhang clan, he would be happy for his decision. That is because the Zhang clan attached great importance to Zhengshuo. It is not impossible to conditionally merge the Zhang family.

The so-called conditions can only be "feudal".The real explanation of feudalism should be that the king and his vassals own a certain piece of land, and the ministers have the right to build on their own after obtaining the land.So, feudalism is a bad term for a regime that wants to centralize power and engage in collectivism.

Ran's Qin Kingdom is rather weird. Ran Min himself has no daughters and no sisters. He didn't engage in a matter of accepting a certain woman as his daughter or sister, but chose to marry his queen's sister.So what Ran Min married was not a princess, but a prince.

The feudal monarch came from a system in the pre-Qin period. It was the same thing when Wei Renyang became the Shang monarch. Most of them were people with different surnames and big fiefdoms, or those who had to be rewarded for their great achievements.After the pre-Qin period, the frequency of conferring monarchs became extremely low. It was relatively common in the Western Han Dynasty, but almost none in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, in the Li and Tang Dynasties, conferring monarchs became popular again, but Li Tang’s conferring monarchs was a kind of honorary title without fiefdoms. .

Ran Min's queen is the daughter of the Dong family, who belongs to the Dong family in the Central Plains. It is rumored that the Dong family is in the same line as Dong Cheng at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.Dong Cheng is the father of Dong Guiren, concubine of Emperor Xiandi Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and one of the instigators of the "clothes edict".

Liu Yan had no objection to becoming brother-in-law with Ran Min, especially since Dong's daughter still had a fief in Xi County in Guanzhong because of the relationship with the emperor.Ran Min would definitely not take this piece of fiefdom away before he had a falling out with Liu Yan. Marrying someone is not a matter of marrying someone. If you marry a prince who has a fiefdom and you still have the land, why should you be entangled.

In fact, Liu Yan also wants to have a brother-in-law relationship with Ran Min, and his idea is similar to that of the Zhang family, the difference is that Ran Min and Zhang Jun are not the same kind of people.

Before Ran Min became a king and before he became a widow, he was simply two people, whether it was the original history or the history changed by Liu Yan.

Liu Yan got information about Ran's Qin State. Ran Min had just executed Tongguan Vice-General, and the executed Tongguan Vice-General was Queen Dong's natal family.

Ran Min executed Queen Dong's natal family for a good reason. It was Fu Hong's Di army who repeatedly attacked the city wall, but Shen Zhong was the general of Tongguan, and Shen Zhong was responsible.Ran Min killed his queen's natal family for a political purpose, saying that he would kill the queen's natal family if he wanted to, and the rest of them had better take it easy.

His queen's natal family was treated as chickens for the monkeys to see. The war in Tongguan was really unfavorable to a certain extent, but Ran Min's move slightly stabilized the war, but it was enough to make many people feel chilling.After all, my wife's natal family can find any reason to kill them, so will the rest of the people who are not relatives or relatives be crushed to death?

"From this point of view, King Qin's political wisdom is very worrying." Sang Yu and others had already chatted with Liu Yan about whether they wanted to aid Ran's Qin State, and he paused before continuing: "It can also be guessed." It can be concluded that even if the king becomes brother-in-law with the king of Qin, he will not have any sympathy in front of interests."

Liu Yan is just creating a possibility. There is no truly perfect person in the world.

Ran Min used to be the executioner of Shijie Zhao State's suppression of disobedience, and his hands were covered with the blood of people who opposed and resisted Shijie Zhao State's rule, including almost every ethnicity, especially Jin people.

Ran Min killed people on the battlefield no matter whether it was against the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting or Zhang's Liangguo.There were only a few times when Shijie Zhao's army went south, and he personally killed as many as seven generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I don't know how many were anonymous.He was also assigned to follow Shi Jian to the west and personally kill six generals of Zhang's Liang Kingdom.

Ran Min's fame did not come from shouting, it was built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Because Ran Min used to be a general of Zhao State in Shijie and killed many people for Shi Hu. There are Jin people in the Central Plains, Jin people in the south of the Yangtze River, and Han people in Liangzhou in the west. In some countries, there are definitely people who hate Ran Min to the bone.

Ran Min's complexity is really extraordinary, Liu Yan knows this very well in his heart.

No matter what Ran Min did, when Shi Jie wanted to slaughter the Jin people in the Central Plains, even though Ran Min failed in the political struggle, Shi Hu did not get the crown prince, and he was attacked by many sons of Shi Hu and all the Husbands. It was because of the hostility and attacks of other people that they had no choice but to stand up and call out the Tuguang barbarians, but at least they got a response when they shouted. (It's really complicated, you can check the history by yourself.)
[It is very difficult to be unwilling to let others down. 】Liu Yan held the list of requests for assistance from Ran's Qin State in his hand:【Judging from the fact that he naturally asks for assistance but is unwilling to pay anything, he is really a very good king! 】

Yes, Ran Min wanted aid, but he didn’t mention anything about how much he would pay. He did talk a lot about how the Qin State of the Ran family attracted a huge force under Shi Hu. He believed that the Ran family could attack Shi Jie Zhao State together. The contribution of Qin State is enough.

Having said that, it seems that Liu Yan was the one who attracted the largest number of troops from Shijie Zhao State from the beginning, right?The Han army and the huge army led by Yao Yizhong have just finished fighting, and there are still three Shijie Zhao armies involved. In terms of contribution, who can compare with the Han army.

No one on Liu Yan's side thinks that they are making any contribution to anyone by fighting Shijie Zhao. Their goal is very clear, that is, fighting Shijie Zhao to occupy land and plunder people, and everything they get is for themselves. Fighting is not fighting for the sake of other countries.

This time, Ran's Qin State not only asked for a huge amount of ordnance, but also listed money and goods in the list. I remember that when Lu Yi just received this list, he trembled all over his body when he saw it. He looked like he had been "taken as a winner".

"Don't worry about it." Liu Yan also had a hellish mood: "They must be crazy."

In the final analysis, Liu Yan never felt that he was a Kaizi. Even when there were too many things to use up, it was a favor to be willing to help, but the inexplicable demands had several meanings.

Lu Yi changed the subject: "So, what's your majesty's opinion on Murong Yanguo's affairs?"

The Han tribe has a piece of land in the east of Liao 1, but Murong Yan has never given up its sovereignty over that piece of land. Before Liu Yan had not established a state, his identity could still be blurred. The problem is that Liu Yan is about to establish a state, and the actual management rights of that land Liu Yan and the garrison are all Liu Yan, and there must be problems with the ownership of sovereignty.

According to the most normal way, the Murong Yan Congress asked Liu Yan to evacuate and return it. The problem is that the Murong family has their eyes on the Huahua World Central Plains. They are even ready to give up the entire Liaodong. Blocks are actually nothing.

"Murong asked us to send troops to attack Shi Bin's rear flank." Lu Yi frowned and said, "And asked that the army be handed over to them to command. Besides, we need a certain amount of armaments and money before we give up the Liaodong. Sovereignty belongs."

Of course, what Lu Yi said was a private transaction, and the official statement was that the land would become a dowry.

"Still ignore it." Liu Yan sneered: "Murong Yanguo has a very high degree of Sinicization, and there is no shortage of Confucian scholars as officials. They will still marry the princess after their temptations are rejected."

Sang Yu first laughed a few times with a "hehe", and then curled his lips: "It's expedient or something, the test is the test, they will not attack our territory in the east of Liao 1 before they go south."

According to common sense, that was the case, but this time Liu Yan thought that Sang Yu had guessed wrong.

Murong Yanguo will definitely attack the territory of the Han tribe in the east of Liao 1 before the army goes south, and the offensive will look unusual.
