Qian Song

Chapter 323 Li Cun's Favorite Woman (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

"From midnight to noon on August [-]st of the seventh year of Hongwu, I was fortunate that the Cao family lived in the cornfield of the imperial garden. The Cao family was named Sanbao. It was formerly the concubine of Zhao Xu, the former king of Song Ji. His father was Cao Chao, and Cao Bin's great-great-grandson."

Cao Sanbao acted a little recklessly, even a little reckless, even Wanyan Zongwang dared to contradict him in history, it was because of Cao Sanbao's unusual background.

Some people may want to ask, why is Cao Sanbao's background so unusual?
Cao Sanbao was actually born in the first family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties - the Zhending Cao family.

Zhending Mansion belonged to Hebei West Road during the Zhao and Song Dynasties. It is located on the border of Song and Liao. It was an important military town for the Central Plains Dynasty to defend the northern nomads, and its strategic position is very important.

Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Zhending Mansion has been under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi of the Chengde Army, and it is one of the rebellious "Three Towns in Hebei".

There are nine counties under the jurisdiction of Zhending Prefecture: Zhending, Gaocheng, Luancheng, Yuanshi, Jingxing, Huolu, Pingshan, Xingtang and Lingshou.

Among them, Lingshou County is located along the Hutuo River. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, there has been a family of generals who have galloped for more than [-] years—the Zhending Cao family.

The originator of the Zhending Cao family was Cao Ye, but it was Cao Ye's grandson, Cao Bin, who really made the Zhending Cao family the first family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

From the Later Han Dynasty, Later Zhou Dynasty to the Early Song Dynasty, Cao Bin fought in the army for 50 years.

In the unification war in the early Song Dynasty, Cao Bin destroyed the four kingdoms of Later Shu, Southern Tang, Hunan, and Southern Han, attacked the Northern Han, and conquered Khitan.

Cao Bin was appointed as the Grand Master of the school, the Jiedu Envoy of Pinglu Army, Tongping Zhangshi, the Privy Council Envoy, and the Duke of Lu. After his death, he was presented with Zhongshu Ling and Jiyang County King, and accompanied Song Taizu in the temple.

Since Cao Bin, the Zhending Cao family has produced many outstanding talents in each generation.

In total, the Zhending Cao family has produced a queen, five consorts, four princes, two dukes, twelve Jiedu envoys, four serving in the Privy Council, seven in charge of the Imperial Guard, and There are countless senior military officers such as defense envoys, observation envoys, and regiment training envoys, which can be described as magnificent, and they are definitely recognized as the largest family in the Zhao Song Dynasty.

And Cao Sanbao is the most famous contemporary of the Zhending Cao family, the daughter of Cao Tie, the contemporary head of the Zhending Cao family.

Cao Cao was ordered to go to Khitan during the Yuanfu period of Emperor Zhezong of the old Song Dynasty. He was formerly the Marquis of Yu in front of the Palace of the Old Song Dynasty and the training envoy of the Zhongzhou regiment. He opposed Zhao Huan's use of warlock Guo Jing to guard Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After so many years of development of the Zhending Cao family, hundreds of people have served in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and even more than a hundred people have joined the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, Li Cun hoped that such a true decision of the Cao family would be used by him.

In fact, Cao Sanbao is not the first daughter of the Cao family that Li Cunlin has ever visited.

Many women in the Cao family were the concubines of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and many women were married to other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. For example, Cao Sanbao’s cousin Cao Ruan and cousin Cao Xiaofonu were Zhao Ji’s Shunyi and Cairen , and Cao Miaowan, Cao Sanbao's cousin, is Zhao Huan's internal history.

All these Cao family women are now in Li Cun's hands.

People like Cao Rou, Cao Xiaofonu, Cao Miaowan and Li Cun have already left, and their families have also been taken by Li Cun. Many of them have already come to the Daqian Dynasty to serve as officials.

But Cao Rou, Cao Xiaofonu, and Cao Miaowan are actually incomparable with Cao Sanbao, the prostitute daughter.

——Only when Li Cun has established the closest relationship with the prostitute daughter of the Zhending Cao family can the Zhending Cao family be regarded as fully serving the Daqian Dynasty.

This is actually another form of marriage.

In fact, many civil and military officials of the Dagan Dynasty spoke highly of Li Cun's acceptance of the Daliao Empire, the Zhao and Song Dynasties, including the daughters of the royal family and the daughters of the royal family of the Li Dynasty and Champa.

(Of course, this does not rule out these people sneaking up on Li Cun.)
But as far as the matter is concerned, let’s not talk about Li Cun’s enjoyment of so many beauties out of his own selfish desire and possessive desire. After Li Cun did this, he actually took over the Liao Empire, Zhao Song Dynasty, Li Dynasty and Zhancheng All the marriage relationships painstakingly managed by the royal family and clan.

This will undoubtedly be of great help to the Daqian Dynasty in assimilating the newly acquired talents and newly acquired regions, and then allow the Daqian Dynasty to quickly stabilize the situation.

Some people even feel that what Li Cun has done is far from enough.

Recently, officials from the Ministry of Rites have been giving Li Cun a memorial, asking Li Cun to conduct a nationwide selection of beautiful girls.

The plan proposed by the Ministry of Rites is that all the show girls this time will be selected from the daughters of the civil and military officials of the Dagan Dynasty, and the daughters of the civil and military officials who have newly voted for the Dagan Dynasty are the main ones.

Undoubtedly, the officials of the Ministry of Rites hoped to use this method to further consolidate the rule of the Dagan Dynasty, and even consolidate Li Cun's imperial power.

Li Cun felt that the officials of the Ministry of Rites made sense.

But Li Cun considered that there were too many women in his palace.

Therefore, Li Cun rejected the proposal made by the Ministry of Rites to select [-] beautiful girls, thinking that it would be enough to choose [-] beautiful girls.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites insisted that the quota of [-] beautiful women was not enough. You must know that since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, Li Cun had never selected a beautiful woman. Many civil and military officials were waiting for this opportunity. There must be more wolves and less meat for the one hundred places, so they insisted that Li Cun choose three thousand show girls.

In order to persuade Li Cun to change his mind, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also said that there are too many women in Li Cun's harem belonging to the old Song Dynasty, and there are also many women belonging to the old Liao, Li Dynasty, and Champa. There are too few women in the harem, and they strongly recommend that Li Cunduo accept some women born in the Daqian dynasty, so as to prevent the women in the harem from being out of balance and causing disasters.

Although what the officials of the Ministry of Rites said was reasonable, Li Cun still felt that he had too many women, and there was really no need to bring thousands of them into the palace to serve him. The draft is not a good thing to say.

In the end, Li Cun issued an imperial decree, tentatively setting the number of girls for this show at 1000, and ordered the Ministry of Rites not to make a big show of drafting, but to keep a low profile as much as possible.

"From midnight to noon on August [-]st of the seventh year of Hongwu, I was lucky to have the Luo family in the corn field in the imperial garden. Luo's name is Dagu, the former Song Xin Wang Zhao Zhen married his wife, father Luo Xian, grandfather Luo Shi."

Aunt Luo's father, Luo Xian, is not worth mentioning, but Aunt Luo's grandfather, Luo Shi, is a very remarkable person.

Luo Shi is the "Goucheng Xuezu" who first opened the history of gate-building in Taizhou, known as "the pioneer of Zhejiang" and "the pioneer of Neo-Confucianism". He is a local official who is famous for the prosperity of the people. A famous scholar, he has dredged rivers in many places, built water conservancy projects, taught farming and mulberry, benefited the people, and the people in many places set up shrines for him.

The Luo family is also a long-standing family in Longchuan for hundreds of years. There have been many celebrities in history. For example, Aunt Luo's great-grandfather was Luo Kai, the third Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, who was hand-picked by Song Renzong.

It can be said that Li Cunli managed two famous families in the Zhao and Song Dynasties at once in the cornfield.

Therefore, as an emperor, being fond of female sex is not necessarily a bad thing. If it is used well, it is also very beneficial to the country.

One of the female officials serving as internal history next to Li Cun today happened to be Cao Miaowan, Cao Sanbao's cousin.

After recording the process of Li Cunlin's visit to Cao Sanbao and Aunt Luo together with the other three internal historians, Cao Miaowan gave a coat to Cao Sanbao whose wounds had been healed by the female medical officer.

——When Li Cun, Cao Sanbao, and Aunt Luo were playing wildly in the corn field, the three of them were more or less cut by the corn leaves, especially Gu Gu who had already been spanked Cao Sanbao was the most unlucky. Her fart, which was already extremely red and swollen, was cut out by a corn leaf, which made her more injured. After the female medical officer checked the wound, she had to give her She put some gold sore medicine on her wound.

While Cao Sanbao was wearing his coat, the other three internal historians wisely left a space for the two sisters Cao Miaowan and Cao Sanbao to talk alone.

At this time, Cao Miaowan complained to Cao Sanbao: "You are too reckless. If His Majesty hadn't met you, you would have been severely punished for your actions, and you would have brought uncle and even my Cao family into trouble."

Cao Miaowan is not trying to scare Cao Sanbao.

You know, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules.

If according to the rules in the harem, Cao Sanbao committed such a big mistake, even if he was not beaten to death, he would definitely be thrown into the cold palace, and Cao Cao must be to blame for not raising a godfather. It would be troublesome for the Cao family to go online and say that the daughter of the Cao family is unwilling to serve the emperor and misses her old master.

However, Li Cun has always been the most lenient towards the women in the harem. He has almost never punished the women in the harem. Moreover, if Li Cun meets a woman in the harem who is punished, as long as she does not commit a crime Forgive mistakes, Li Cun will forgive them.

In fact, Li Cun's beating of Cao Sanbao was also protecting Cao Sanbao, otherwise Gong Zheng would definitely not let Cao Sanbao go.

Cao Sanbao, who has already got her wish, also wanted to open it up. She said to herself, "I used to think that he was not interested in me, so I went to extremes. Now..."

Thinking of her experience just now, Cao Sanbao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, the fact is better than any conjecture.

Seeing that Cao Sanbao was still smiling heartlessly, Cao Miaowan slapped Cao Sanbao angrily: "Still laughing, you will bring disaster to my Cao family sooner or later!"

Cao Sanbao assured him: "Don't worry, it will definitely not happen, it won't work if I stay in the palace honestly from now on~"

Cao Sanbao added another sentence in his heart: "Besides, this secret passage is really sealed. Queen Mother Zheng didn't lie to me, and there is no secret passage. Even if I want to escape, there is no way to escape."

This is what Li Cun told Cao Sanbao, and Cao Sanbao believed that Li Cun would not lie to her.

At this time, Cao Miaowan told Cao Sanbao one more thing: "Uncle has already asked Sibao and several other daughters of the Cao family to participate in the selection of the best girls. You have to be mentally prepared."

Cao Sanbao was not angry about the fact that his sister and his family members were going to enter the palace, but was very happy.

There is no way, in this harem full of beauties, it is definitely not possible to fight alone, you must join a group, in order to get more opportunities for Li Cun, who likes to play with one dragon and two phoenixes, to climb higher.

In fact, Cao Sanbao's two elder sisters, Cao Dabao and Cao Erbao, were also in the harem, but they were clan wives, so it was even more difficult to get Li Cun's chance to leave.

Well now, Cao Sanbao feels that based on Li Cun's love for her, she can definitely get her two older sisters, plus her younger sister who is about to enter the palace and her clansmen, by the way, she can also get Zhao Xu's Concubines Wang Yanyu, Fu Yingnu, Ma Yingtou and others were also found.

Cao Sanbao has no psychological burden, because everyone else does it.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu's seven daughters are too young, otherwise they would be her Cao Sanbao's help.

At this time, Aunt Luo, who had also completed the registration, came over, and she asked Cao Miaowan for advice: "Cao Chongyi, I don't know how my younger sister should apply to see my father. I heard that younger sister can also apply for an imperial doctor to see my father? "

Cao Miaowan said to Aunt Luo: "When the four of us hand in the documents we have planned today, my sister can go to the Nei Zai to report what she wants. The Nei Zai has verified it and will make proper arrangements."

Aunt Luo asked, "Is there a shortcut? My father is seriously ill, and I'm afraid time is running out."

Cao Miaowan said: "Sister, there is no need to be urgent. If my prediction is correct, you will soon know that my sister has been sent by His Majesty. If there is no accident, I should make proper arrangements for my sister's family today..."

Cao Miaowan was really right. The fact that Cao Sanbao and Aunt Luo were passed by Li Cunlin soon spread to the labor camp. Cao Sanbao’s family and Aunt Luo’s family were immediately invited out of the labor camp by the steward. After entertaining them, they will be let go when the amnesty is issued.

It is worth mentioning that Luo Xian was not seriously ill at all. Aunt Luo's family just used this as an excuse to force Aunt Luo to find a way to seduce Li Cun and rescue them.

……

Whether it is Cao Sanbao, Aunt Luo, or any other woman, to Li Cun, they are just playthings.

There are not many women that Li Cun really cares about.

Two hands, plus two feet, well, a hundred at most.

Among them, to Li Cun, one of the most important women, one can even say that the most important woman is... not Fang Baihua, but Qian Shi, who is now Concubine Qian Gui.

Many people are sure of this.

People who think so are really not aimless.

Because, according to legend, in order to win Concubine Qian a smile, Li Cun actually painted the best land of nearly [-] mu not far from the palace to Concubine Qian as a place to play.

You know, this is Bianliang City in Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive, and the place next to the imperial palace is a treasure that even money can't buy.

Let's put it this way, the precious land allocated by Li Cun to Concubine Qian was specially prepared by Zhao Ji for the expansion of the imperial palace.

But Li Cun did not use this extremely precious land to expand the palace, but allocated it to Concubine Qian, who let Concubine Qian do whatever she wanted.

Moreover, this is not the first time that Li Cun has done such a thing. As early as when the capital of the Dagan Dynasty was still in Yingtianfu, Nanjing, Li Cun had set aside a large piece of land for Concubine Qian on the edge of the palace. Feel free to toss.

Unexpectedly, after Li Cun moved the capital to Bianliang City, Tokyo, he even intensified and indulged Concubine Qian even more.

Some people even thought that if Qian Shi wanted to be the queen, Li Cun would definitely depose Fang Baihua immediately and make Qian Shi the queen instead.

Based on these, many people believe that there must be a reason for the groundless rumours, and Concubine Qian must be Li Cun's favorite woman.

Now, Li Cun came to the place he allocated for his favorite woman, and stood in front of the door of his favorite woman's room.

According to Concubine Qian's maid, Concubine Qian is still sleeping.

Li Cun, the emperor, just stood at the door of Concubine Qian and waited for Concubine Qian to slowly wake up...
