female concubine

On the first day of the first month of the third year of Qianyuan, the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting was held in Daqing Hall, and all countries came to court.

"The villain has confirmed that this time the envoy and deputy envoy of Xixia have changed to a new person, not the clan, but a member of the Xixia king's favorite concubine Ye Li." Qi Liu stepped forward and presented the scroll, "This is the envoy's For the portrait, the villain brought a folk painter along with him when he was giving a banquet under the imperial decree of the official family.

The emperor was wearing the crimson gauze robe worn by the court hall and almost fell asleep leaning on the chair, Xiao Youqing picked up her regular clothes, leaned closer and called softly: "The time is coming."

She then leaned into Xiao Youqing's arms and put her arms around her waist, closed her eyes and said, "Call me later."

Qi Liu stood aside holding the portrait of the envoy.

"Aren't the officials afraid that the Xixia envoy will be recognized by someone with familiar eyes? Qi Duzhi brought the envoy's portrait."

Only then did the emperor open his eyes, stretched his waist and stood up, "Open."

Qi Liu unfolded the painting as instructed, while explaining: "The Zhengshi is the cousin of the beloved concubine Ye Lishi, and he sent his cousin as an envoy because his brother led troops to guard the Hexi area. I heard that this Zhengshi is also He is a strong general, and the deputy envoy is a Han Chinese from Xixia as translators, and they are all first missions."

The emperor looked at the two unfamiliar faces and exhaled, "Burn it, just in case, the guard at Duting West Station must not be relaxed."

"Xue Jin secretly doubled the number of imperial troops in the west station of the Duting. The Xixia side's detailed report said that although there are two major powers in the royal court, the Weimu family is still the dominant one. The Xixia king is not angry with the queen. It's Sheng Chong's concubine's room."

"Beloved concubine... just let them freeze slowly."

Qi Liu glanced at the woman behind the emperor, and whispered: "There is also Fusang Kingdom, Fusang Kingdom has not paid tribute for many years, the Ministry of Rites ranked last in the summons according to the official's intention, and the brochure handed over to Dongshanggemen envoys has also passed. Make changes, but..."

"Qi Zou the official family, the local officials and the envoys from various countries have all waited in front of the Daqing Gate."

She picked up the jade jade that was on the brocade, "Let's talk about it on the way."

"The official clothes have not been put on yet."

"Oh, by the way," the emperor turned around and walked back, stretched out his hand in his sleeve and pointed to the side of his face, still asking worriedly, "Is the mark on my face still obvious?"

The two scars that were neither deep nor shallow have gradually faded after several years of application of medicine. Xiao Youqing shook his head, walked behind her and tied the white Luo with the square heart collar, "Even if there are scars, the official family will be on the throne." You can’t see clearly from a distance of several zhang, there is nothing else in the state, but there are many etiquettes, and if you change a set of clothes, who will recognize the predecessors?”

"It's fine if I know my sister, not to mention changing clothes, as long as you are still this person, how can I not recognize my sister?"

"If the officials put their talking skills in the court and are not so aggressive, maybe they won't be bored every day."

"I'm not, with a bunch of old men...I..."

"If the elders and mainstays of the dynasty hear the official saying that they are old... they should hide their sadness."

"I don't care if they are hurt or not. I don't owe them anything. In the future, I will leave a name in the history books and pass on wealth and honor to the world. Don't they also have a share. Whether it is fame or profit, I always want a share."

Xiao Youqing pulled her to sit down, and took off the jade hairpin on her hair, "If you can draw a name, you will have a name as a constraint, and there is nothing wrong with seeking profit."

"That's why I said I don't owe them anything."

--------------------------

——Boom boom boom! ——The deafening sound of drums came from the Bell and Drum Courtyard, "Come to the light, open thousands of households, pay respects to the ministers...the time has come!"

The emperor rode out of the inner palace on his waistband, held the wat board on his lap, suddenly remembered something and asked, "The sixth son just said what happened to the Fusang Kingdom?"

The servant turned his head, and the three-beam crown on the top of his head was decorated with a yellow lion brocade ribbon, "Go back to the official house, and the servant sent to the embassy to communicate the decree came back and said that the offering of this Fusang tribute is... a young woman. After inquiring, I found out that in recent years, many coastal shipping companies and ports have been added, and more merchant ships have gone out to sea and eastward. Some people say that you have just been enthroned and you are not yet [-] years old. Xuankong, I will accept my concubine soon."

"Oh, and then?" the emperor asked nonchalantly.

"Afterwards, some merchants spread the rumors about Guochao's sage to Fusang, and the group of Dongying people thought...that the official family was a lustful king."

The emperor frowned, "Therefore, a woman from Dongying escaped from the embassy a few days ago, she must be the beauty they want to present, trying to please me and let me send a navy to Dongying to quell the war for them."

"Among the women who paid tribute were women from the clan of the Fusang Kingdom, who seemed to be the daughters of the prince. The monarch of Fusang did not have a crown prince, so the prince should be the default heir. Not only the Fusang Kingdom, but also the Koryo Kingdom, etc. were all officials who presented beauties. The family has just been enthroned..."

"A lustful king?"

"Of course the official family is not. The official family and the sage are husband and wife who share weal and woe. Their love is as deep as the sea. How could it be because of their looks?"

"But at first... that's what I was greedy for, isn't it? I'm not as pure and flawless as the snow on the roof, and I'm not a gentleman who doesn't care about fame and fortune. Who doesn't like good-looking people, who doesn't want to be greedy?" , but my greed is enough for one person.”

The emperor thought for a long time, and then ordered: "Let Han Jingming go to the tower in front of the Daqing Gate to see the woman before the court meeting. The tribute cannot be refunded, but there must be a comprehensive arrangement."

"Yes."

---------------------------------

Baisi first entered the Daqing Hall to pay homage, then summoned the envoys stationed in Beijing from various prefectures to bring tribute to the court, and finally summoned the envoys of the states in order.

Between Daqing Gate and Xuande Gate was an empty surrounded city, envoys from various countries lined up on both sides of the road with tributes, and there were many beautiful women in the crowd, crying and reprimanding were heard from time to time.

Most of the envoys used their own language, and the guards on guard couldn't understand the conversation and felt bored, so they yelled at Su Jing.

The women in the envoy crowd were all of the best appearance, and they were all well-dressed before entering the palace, and many of them were comparable to the courtesans in the brothels, so they also caught the attention of the guards.

The Dongying warrior who shaved his head was flanked by a group of weeping Japanese women. Only the purple-clothed woman standing at the front, who was more gorgeous than everyone else, looked calm.

"I don't want to fight for the spring, and I'm jealous of all the women. There are so many beautiful women, only one of them is unstained." An official wearing a Jinxian five-beam crown and a court uniform closed the sleeves of the scarlet robe. make.

The servant followed him, "Even so, this woman will return without success just like them."

"Return without success? Not necessarily."

"Could it be that the official family will keep these women of different races? But now Her Royal Highness is being favored, and her relatives are gaining influence..."

"Strong enemies are on the lookout, Xixia, Beiliao, and Tubo in the southwest are all using tribute to test our new officials. Do you know how to attack Qin together? Too sharp and not hidden when you are not strong enough will eventually cause disaster. The enemy is not stupid, and he also knew that he wanted to kill the vicious tiger when he was young, and it has not been a day or two for the northern nomads to covet the land of the Central Plains."

"Once a war breaks out, not to mention the loss of national strength, if there is not enough strength to eliminate it, it will be deadlocked forever. In a short period of time, no one wants a war to happen, especially the officials." Han Baojin took a step forward and looked down. Downstairs continued: "However, with the temperament of officials, they don't like others to force things in, so how should these people be accommodated?"

"If the officials don't like it, then they will be sent to Shangshu to introspect as a female historian or palace servant?"

Han Bang shook his head, "Many of them are princesses from various countries."

"Excuse me, sir, you are a foreign minister. These women who are sent to the palace will become married women in the future. Why don't these things be left to the saints?"

"You reminded me, but the officials don't know what you know."

The servant stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Could it be that the officials are afraid to let the sage know that they want to accept these women? But this court cannot be separated from the future, and the sage must know after the court meeting."

Han Si turned his head, and the servant took a step back, raised his hand and slapped him: "The villain made a mistake."

"Even if the officials dote on Her Highness the Empress, it won't change his status as the emperor. Once the power is held, he is destined to have many things beyond his control, and the officials are no exception. As an emperor..."

"But the official family is our official family, it is the present, the official family is only himself, not others, so how can it be compared with the previous emperors, the courtiers all privately said that the official family disregarded the law of the ancestors and reused relatives It is to check and balance the Zhongshu, and the official family is not only to restrict the power, but also has the meaning of loving the house and the black."

The servant worked in the Privy Council of the former province, and often sent official documents to the emperor for Han Si and the privy envoys, and had many opportunities to walk in front of the imperial court. When delivering official documents, the queen could often be seen in the halls of the two dynasties, "isn't indulgence just a preference? .”

What the servant muttered in a low voice made Han Bang stunned suddenly, "I almost forgot that he is different from others, and I was surprised by his way of handling things. He is not only an official, but also a king, a father, and a husband."

------------------------------------

After the whip was fired, the emperor wore a court dress with a square neck and a curved collar, covered his knees and hung on the crimson gauze skirt, and sat on the imperial throne just north of the Daqing Hall, holding a wat. On both sides, there were armored guards standing tall and holding hammers. There are also guards of honor and dharma on the court.

Han Bang walked back into the row of five-beam crowns, and immediately stretched his head back, and saw Jingfu Jieyuan at the front of the last row of white robes with green borders.

Wang Wenfu also seemed to feel a pair of eyes watching him from far ahead, so he raised his head and bowed slightly to Han Si, who folded his green-rimmed sleeves.

The straight scholar beside Han Si glanced at him and said, "Vice Han Shu knows this move?"

"I don't know."

"I saw him bowing to Deputy Han Shu..."

"Today the tribute, civil and military officials stand in order, so many people stand together, how do you know that you are a lower official?"

The bachelor said with a slight smile: "I can't say enough about you, and no one can say anything about you by citing scriptures. In the end, you should read more books."

Holding the wat board, Han Bang smiled and said: "Speaking is a science, and sometimes it is tied to your future and even your life."

All the privy officials bowed to the emperor's side according to the decree, and turned around and walked to the front of the palace not long after, "By the imperial decree, I call the envoys of all countries to meet with you one by one."

The envoy of the Dongshang Pavilion opened the prologue and read: "Xuan, the envoy of the Northern Liao Kingdom has an audience."

The envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty was still the same one. This time when he entered the Song Dynasty, he found that not only the emperor had changed, but even the ministers on both sides had become unfamiliar faces.

"Yelu, the royal family of the Northern Liao Dynasty, kowtowed to the Son of Heaven, and wished the Son of Heaven to live forever. This is a respect from the monarch of our country, and I hope the Son of Heaven will accept it with a smile."

Beiliao's tributes were not horses and fine wine this year, but several beautiful women.

None of the ministers on either side showed a surprised expression, "The new emperor ascends the throne, and the countries are still the same. The inner palace of the emperor seems to be competing for favor among the countries."

"Competing for favor? Hmph, the fragrance of the pillow, I'm afraid it's not as simple as that."

"You all know that the kings of other countries will be so stupid to do so if there are secret stories on the bedside? They just want to test the new king of the country, what kind of king is it?"

"If you know it, you know it. It's always good to be careful."

"Xuan, the envoy of the Xixia Kingdom has an audience."

Immediately, a Xixia man with a stature as tall as a general in the town hall, wearing a round-necked narrow robe with a belt, entered the hall, and bowed to the emperor with his hands crossed.

The emperor asked the servant who was wearing a court uniform beside him, "Who do the six think he is better than Huo Qing?"

"The villain thinks... Commander Huo is better."

"Otherwise, he is a member of the Ye Li family. He was born in the army and grew up in the army. His cousins ​​are all generals who are good at fighting. Maybe we can see them on the battlefield in the future."

"..."

Afterwards, apart from Khotan and Sanfo Qi, which worshiped the Buddha, all the rest of the countries presented young women. It was not until the sun rose above the head that the last envoy was called.

"Xuan, see you from Fusang Kingdom."

The unique samurai head of the Dongying people made some young officials and officials who had never seen it before almost unable to hold back their laughter, and even made a group of scholar-bureaucrats angry.

"The body, hair and skin are the parents, how can they treat them like this."

"Hey, you can't say that. After all, they are of a different race and have different customs. Otherwise, there is no such thing as going to a country and doing as the Romans do."

"The Japanese envoy pays homage to the sky by the order of the emperor. His Majesty the emperor of Song Dynasty." The interpreter next to the throne translated the envoy's words.

The author has something to say: Guess if my sister will be angry!

The female department is the most difficult to set up. The author thinks that it is necessary to balance the importance of men and women, that is, men are not so important (the author pursues equality between men and women). Therefore, not only internal troubles but also external troubles must be eliminated, that is, to reduce In war, stop killing with killing and unify the territory.

In addition, wars are not so easy to start, and there are many reasons why the sixteen prefectures could not be taken back. Song took relatively moderate measures against the sixteen prefectures, but dragged Liao down with economic warfare.

The amount consumed by a large-scale war is staggering, and such a war is not successful and it takes a long time to recover.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han expelled the Xiongnu, it was like a big or small country. This kind of nomadic people was economically backward and living in no fixed place. If you beat them away, you won’t get any benefits except to fight for a breath. Very happy.
