Zhi Xuan

Apart from Mrs. Ji, Prince Huai only had four concubines and wives, including Yuan Tao, no more than five, far less than the former king.Including Prince Huai's children, they can't live in half the palace.

Even so, before the prince's wives and concubines moved in, all the halls of the palace were emptied early.

The original owner either went to the fief with his children or set off to return to his mother's home.For example, the Daliang family, Dongliang Houshang was still in Zhongdu City, she couldn't wait, she couldn't wait to get on the carriage and return to Dongdu City ahead of time with her dowry, and she didn't want to stay for a while.

The wives of the former king left one after another, and only the queen stayed in the palace. The magnificent palace became deserted, even though there were servants and maidservants walking around, the popularity was much less.

Now, the Queen moved into the Empress Dowager's Palace and gave up her residence to Mrs. Ji, which meant that the former king had passed away, the king was about to ascend the throne, and the harem ushered in a new owner.

Yuan Tao and the four concubines also have their own arrangements.

Unlike the previous kings, there was no need to fight openly and secretly. The residences of several people were all close to the king's palace, especially Yuantao was the closest.

The waiter led the way, with a very respectful attitude, fearing that if something was done wrong, it would cause displeasure to the side lady.Seeing his performance in his eyes, Yuan Tao remained silent all the way, thinking about it in his heart.

A group of people walked through the veranda with a scent of wood, and came to a beautiful palace.

The door of the hall was wide open, and ten servants and maidservants stood on both sides of the stone steps, and they all saluted when they saw Yuan Tao.

The hall was carefully cleaned and carefully arranged, and there was no trace of the former owner.

Yuan Tao specifically inquired about the attendants, and found out that this bedroom originally belonged to the Daliang family, and it was the residence of Wang Chongfei of the past dynasties, and had two successors, which is of extraordinary symbolic significance.

Thinking of the purpose of arranging her here, Yuan Tao pursed her lips, and quickly suppressed her emotions, not showing any clues.Stepping into the hall, he ordered the maid to put the box and cage into the warehouse and arrange it properly.

This palace is big enough, there are two side halls next to the main hall, and there are several side rooms under the side halls, more than enough to accommodate four or five people.The concubine did not live there, but was arranged in another bedroom.It is separated from Yuantao by a wall, and there is a moon gate on the wall, which is very convenient to come and go.

Yuan Tao asked the maidservant, she didn't comment on the surface, but said in her heart: It really took a lot of painstaking effort.

The maid busily opened the storeroom, compared the books in detail, and put the boxes and cages back one by one.Because there are so many things, several people have been busy for two hours, and there are still a large number of boxes and cages piled up in the courtyard.

The warehouse area is limited, and the walls are full, and more than one-third of the boxes still cannot be loaded.

The Daliang family was born in Dongliang, and the dowry was very considerable, surpassing everyone in the palace and second only to the queen.The original peaches were twice as many as hers, and with the rare treasures that Zhixuan sent every now and then, the original warehouse simply couldn't hold them.

There was really no other way, so the maid took some people to clear out several rooms and used them as temporary warehouses to accommodate the remaining boxes and cages.

Two servants worked together to lift a wooden box. Because the box was too full, the lid was lifted, revealing dazzling pearl light.

The waiter who carried the box didn't think it was surprising, and motioned to the side waiter to help, and put the lid back on.

The servant girl in command took it for granted, felt that the waiter's movements were too slow, so she simply rolled up her sleeves and went into battle in person, bent over to pick up the wooden box, and emptied the courtyard with ease.

The servants and maids in the palace opened their eyes wide, and they were all stunned, as if they were in a dream.

The central capital gathers wealth from all over the world, from west to south, and from all directions to court.The feudal lords donated continuously all the year round, and it was not uncommon to have a hundred treasures and goods along with pearls and biscuits.

Servants and maidservants are often in the palace, thinking that they are well-informed and have seen all the rare treasures.I can't believe that Yuan Tao's dowry is so generous, making their self-righteousness a joke.

It is often heard that the Marquis of Xiyuan is so rich that no one in the world can match him.I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, so I think the rumors are not true and exaggerated.Now it is only the daughter of the Yuan clan, sister Xiyuanhou, whose wealth is astonishing.It can be seen that everyone in the palace has limited vision, which is really ridiculous.

After the warehouse door was closed and locked again, the servants and maids came back to their senses.

It's not that their tolerance is too poor, it's that everything in front of them is beyond common sense, and the impact is too great.Even if you are mentally prepared, it will be difficult to turn around for a while.

The tip of the iceberg is so shocking, which shows how stupid the previous thinking was.

Thinking of the many rumors about Yuan Tao and the purpose of being sent here, everyone couldn't help feeling shuddering and tense up.

All the boxes and cages were put into the warehouse, and it was past noon.

Outside the hall, there were servants begging to see him and bringing him meals.

According to etiquette, the palace has two meals a day, which are divided into court food and curtain food.Clans often follow this example, and princes big and small are no exception.

Only Zhixuan broke the routine and changed to three meals a day.The clans of Xiyuan Kingdom followed suit one after another, and the common people of the country followed in the clan's footsteps and gradually changed their eating habits.

When the incident spread to other countries, the monarchs and clans were very envious, but they could not follow suit.It's not that they are rigid in their words and deeds, sticking to the rules and unwilling to change, there is really no condition.

Insufficient grain production is a real problem, and most of the vassal states must face it.

Everyone knows that two meals are not enough to eat, and three meals a day is better, but reality does not allow it, and the matter can only be put on hold.

The monarch clan has conditions, but no one dares to imitate Zhixuan.The domestic grain production can't keep up, they eat three meals, and the common people of the country can only eat two ends, which clearly intensifies the conflict.When contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, civil unrest is bound to occur, and they will be reduced to the end of mediocrity.

For this, Zhi Xuan expressed deep sympathy, but he would not send out food for nothing.

Raising Mi's kindness against Mi's hatred, things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished.If the food is sent to the past, the giver may not be appreciated, and it is more likely to cultivate a group of white-eyed wolves.

It doesn't matter whether he speculates people's hearts or cares about every detail, in short, Zhi Xuan has made up his mind that he will never be taken advantage of in the eyes of the world.

However, the problem must always be solved, and the alliance of princes is an opportunity.

Zhi Xuan had an idea long ago, the division of power in the capital city was only a means, his purpose was to mobilize the power of the princes of the world, continue to expand outward, and obtain as much land and labor as possible.It doesn't matter if you swallow the dates whole, first hold the territory in your hands, and then digest it slowly.

Too much land and no land?

With the fields and labor force, do you still worry about the lack of food?

The current conditions are not suitable for dynastic change, and reunification by force is not reliable, and a little carelessness will result in a short-lived dynasty.

After some deliberation, Zhi Xuan simply opened a window for the princes and led everyone to broaden their horizons.

With Zhao Hao and the Xiyuan Kingdom clan as precedents, the effect will definitely not be bad.Hang a few more knots on the chariot, unfurl the banner of the Central Plains, and with the nature of the clan, they will devour everything they see.

Considering future expansion, Zhongdu City must exist and cannot collapse for a long time.

The symbolic meaning of the king is very important when the princes go out to attack.

The co-lord of the world exists in the Central Plains, with the false name of a monarch and his ministers. He can restrain the clan with etiquette, avoid internal disputes to the greatest extent, and let the armies of all countries go out in unison.

Replaced by a unified feudal dynasty, militarism is likely to be fatal.

Enfeoffment politics just solved the problem.

If a country can't hold on, it can look to its in-laws and allies for support, and it can continue when it is relieved.The direct branch is too much fun, and the side branch can top it.If the side branch doesn't work, there are other branches.In short, there is no need to worry about a family playing themselves to death, and no one will follow up.

Zhi Xuan revealed his thoughts to Zhao Hao, who was extremely shocked.

Excitement naturally needs to be expressed.

The result of the expression was that Zhi Xuan failed to get out of the tent for two days.

Fortunately, the King Ren has already been buried, and the enthronement ceremony of Prince Huai has not yet begun.Otherwise, Marquis Xiyuan would definitely make Marquis Nanyou look good, in various senses.

The prince's wives and concubines moved to the next day, and they sent people out of the palace to deliver letters to their families.

This move is a common practice, and it is also the tacit approval of the palace.

Yuan Tao is as good as he is, and writes a letter to Zhi Xuan in his own hand.Out of prudent considerations, the content of the letter is not long and does not fill a scroll of bamboo slips.The letter didn't mention any secrets, only gossip about family affairs, and mentioned two meals a day in the palace, which she was not used to, luckily she brought a lot of cakes.

When he was in the Prince's Mansion, Yuan Tao lived behind closed doors, with three meals a day and snacks in the afternoon.Living in the palace, too close to the king's bedroom, with countless pairs of eyes staring at him, it is inevitable that one's hands and feet will be tied up.

As a newcomer, it is not easy to change the rules, which makes her very uncomfortable.Moreover, the culinary skills in the royal palace are average, far inferior to those in the prince's residence.This made Yuan Tao extremely depressed, he couldn't eat the food in the palace, so he could only eat half a box of pastries.

When the concubine's wife and family mentioned the arrangements in the palace to speculate on her intentions, Yuan Tao's letter did not mention politics, but was full of dissatisfaction with eating, which is really unique and extraordinary.

After receiving this letter, Zhi Xuan read it from beginning to end, and his face gradually darkened.

"Bold enough." Zhi Xuan said in a deep voice.

Yuan Tao complained about the meal in the letter, which shows that there is something wrong with the meal.The maid assigned to Yuan Tao has someone who can distinguish poison, and things will not go wrong.In addition, the arrangement of the dormitory mentioned in the letter clearly refers to the monitoring of her by the royal family.

This incident angered Zhi Xuan.

It seems that the warning has little effect. The royal family's head is strong enough, and they have to knock hard to let them know the pain.

"Come on!"

Zhixuan was in Zhongdu City, so the royal family dared to be so presumptuous and blatantly attacked.When he leaves, the other party will go too far.

In addition to the royal family, is the Zhongducheng clan involved, such as the Ji clan?

Zhi Xuan wasn't sure, but he didn't intend to gamble.

He believed that Yuan Tao could handle it, but he didn't want his sister to be wronged.

"Send someone back to the country as soon as possible, and deliver this letter to Luo Gong." Zhi Xuan wrote a few strokes, wrote the will and handed it to the servant.

"promise!"

Seeing that Your Majesty's complexion was not good, the servants didn't dare to ask more questions, so they quickly withdrew from the big tent and acted according to the order.

After the servant left, Zhi Xuan took up his pen again and wrote several short messages, which were sent to Zhao Hao, Bei'anhou and Donglianghou respectively.

The behavior of the royal family stepped on his bottom line, and he was determined to teach the other party a profound lesson.

It is far from enough to cut off the source of income. It is necessary to deter the opponent with force and use two prongs to make the other party hurt to the bone. Remember this lesson and dare not act rashly again.

Either don't do it, or do it absolutely.

Since he has a reputation of being arrogant and unreasonable, he simply put everything down.

The enthronement ceremony is not easy to launch an attack, and the meeting after the ceremony is the best time.

At that time, he will let the royal family and the Zhongdu clan witness with their own eyes what is arrogance, what is domineering, and what is truly sharp and cold-blooded!
