Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 285
Xia Sheng gritted her teeth and said: "Your maidservant can replace your empress! As long as you put your head on your head, Wen Po won't dare to suspect it!" Concubine Guo Shu smiled wryly, "How can you, a Yunying unmarried girl, hide it from Wen Po!"

Xia Sheng couldn't help being anxious, "What can I do?" Concubine Guo Shu thought for a while, and said, "However, your idea is very good. If you can find other concubines to replace it, that's fine too!"

Xia Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty is right! Then Liu Cairen's dormitory is not far from Mingluan Hall, and it is like a cold palace. With the martial arts of a servant, she will definitely be able to kill her without anyone noticing. Bring it!" Concubine Guo Shu nodded and said, "It's not too late! You go!"

Xia Sheng ran out in a hurry, picked a path that no one walked, and arrived at Liu Ruyun's bedroom in a short while.Ever since Liu Ruyun had a miscarriage, the concubine was also grounded, let alone her life, in this harem.Everyone seems to have forgotten her existence, and let her fend for herself.

She was just imprisoned in her own bedroom, waiting to die every day, and she was already in a trance. On this day, she was wandering in the courtyard as usual, and suddenly felt that someone hit her back and she had lost her mind. perception.

Xia Sheng found some veils, quietly supported Liu Ruyun, rushed to Mingluan Palace without anyone noticing, and moved Concubine Guo Shu into the backyard, then took Liu Ruyun's clothes back, leaving only the small clothes, and put the quilt Covered the whole body, only the legs were exposed.

After finishing all this, Wen Po came to Mingluan Hall under the leadership of Chang Man, Xia Sheng stopped Chang Man, Chang Man didn't dare to do anything wrong, so Xia Sheng brought the Wen Po in.

Seeing that the person on the bed was already lying down, the steady woman couldn't help being a little surprised, Xia Sheng secretly stuffed a gold ingot into her hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, but she is already ready, mother-in-law, please hurry up." , Your Majesty is going to rest!"

That Wen Po had never seen such a big gold before, she naturally agreed, but just glanced at it casually, and then gave up, Xia Sheng was relieved to see that Chang Man left with Wen Po, and hurriedly sent After putting on Liu Ruyun's clothes, he sent her back very quickly.

Fortunately, the place where Liu Ruyun lived was very deserted, no different from the Leng Palace, and Xia Sheng also protected martial arts, so no one noticed.

Concubine Guo Shu breathed a sigh of relief.Finally escaped this robbery!
But this matter is getting worse and worse!It turned out that many of the court ladies were not virgins!This shocked the emperor, and it also gave the Shence Army a chance. Liu Xingshen and Han Yuerang even took the opportunity to speak to the emperor, replacing all the guards in the palace with eunuchs with some martial arts skills. This proposal really entered the emperor's heart .

The affairs of these maids in the harem must have something to do with those guards!Although the emperor didn't have any real evidence, he still had a good guess!So those maids were dealt with secretly, and the guards in the palace also used various excuses or exiled, and finally came out of the palace, and the emperor never saw a man again.

The biggest beneficiary of this matter is Tian Lingzi!Since the death of Concubine Wang, Li Yan's reliance on Tian Lingzi has become more and more obvious, even to the point where Tian Lingzi can't stop crying when he can't see Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi knows that he must build a good relationship with the Shence Army now, so that he can assist Li Yan in the future .Therefore, he would immediately notify Liu Xingshen and Han Yuerang if there was any disturbance in the palace. Tian Lingzi's success in replacing the guards with eunuchs this time was also due to Tian Lingzi.

Seeing that although the emperor appears to be strong and healthy, they all know that the emperor is only at the end of his life and won't last for a few years!The emperor had been hollowed out by the harem a long time ago, if he hadn't been hanged with the medicine of the Han imperial physician, he would have been ruined a long time ago!
To be honest, if the emperor dies, Li Yan is indeed the best candidate. The emperor already loves him, and the concubine Wang is dead, which is more conducive to the eunuch's manipulation. He is not very old, and the government cannot take care of himself. It's Li Yan who is born to be a master of fun!Unlike the two sons of the Korean lady, they are both calm people.

For the eunuchs, what they want is a puppet, not the emperor. Those who are too diligent and deep are not their love. What they want is a playful person like Li Yan, so that they can firmly hold the power of the country in their hands superior!
And after this turmoil, Princess Tongchang's grudge against Concubine Guo Shu deepened!She had witnessed Concubine Guo Shu's scandal, so she suspected that the stillborn baby belonged to Concubine Guo Shu. How could it be such a coincidence that she discovered the adultery between Concubine Guo Shu and Wei Baoheng, and there was a stillbirth in this palace?
However, since Mrs. Wen didn't find out anything, Princess Tongchang wouldn't cause trouble.Yang Yu was also suspicious, of course, but she couldn't understand why this steady woman couldn't find out Yang Yu.But what surprised Yang Yu was that the harem was already ruled by eunuchs, and by the Shence Army!
Thinking of her original intention of entering the palace, it was originally to assist the concubine to eliminate the power of the eunuch, but in the end, the eunuch took control of the whole situation. This was really unexpected for Yang Yu. Her original intention was to deal with Concubine Guo Shu, but in the end it involved With so many messy things, isn't it called that people are not as good as heaven?
Although Concubine Guo Shu successfully concealed the truth with Xia Sheng's help, in order to avoid everyone's suspicion, Concubine Guo Shu forced herself to summon her concubines to Feishuang Palace.The emperor was talking to Princess He Tongchang, and when he heard that Concubine Guo Shu was coming, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that your mother and concubine miss you!"

For the past few days, Princess Tongchang stayed in the Feishuang Palace because of medical treatment, and did not visit Concubine Guo Shu, which made the emperor feel very strange.That's why it was said that Princess Tongchang's complexion changed slightly, but only for a moment, and she said with a smile: "Mother and concubine must miss the emperor father! Only when Tongchang entered the palace did he hear that the emperor father had not been to the Mingluan Hall for a long time. !"

Princess Tongchang sighed inwardly, the mother and concubine did such a thing because she lost the favor of her father, right?It's just that there are so many concubines who have fallen out of favor in this harem?And Concubine Guo Shu hooked up with her own husband-in-law, this cannot be tolerated!Princess Tongchang couldn't help breathing quickly. The emperor felt strange and said, "Tongchang! What's wrong with you?"

Princess Tongchang held her heart and said weakly: "Father! Tongchang's heart palpitations have attacked again!" The emperor hurriedly said: "Go and lie down first, Chang Man, and quickly announce Han Imperial Physician!"

At this time, Concubine Guo Shu and all the concubines had already filed in. As soon as she entered Feishuang Palace, she saw the disappearing figure of Princess Tongchang. I don't even bother to see her!

Seeing the anxious expression on the emperor's face, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with Tongchang?" The emperor said worriedly: "Just now Tongchang's heart palpitations happened again! I'm going to declare the imperial doctor of Han! My concubine came just in time. Go and see her!"

Concubine Guo Shu couldn't help hesitating. Princess Tongchang fell ill when she saw her coming to Feishuang Palace. If she came close, I don't know what would happen!So he said: "Your Majesty! There is an imperial doctor in Tongchang to take care of you, don't worry, this concubine has important matters to discuss with the Emperor!"

The emperor couldn't help being very surprised, what is it that made Concubine Guo Shu abandon Princess Tongchang?The emperor's complexion couldn't help but change a bit, no matter what the reason was, Concubine Guo Shu shouldn't have done this!

In the emperor's heart, Princess Tongchang is a sharp-hearted princess, and she is also his lucky star. She is an existence that depends on the emperor's blessings and misfortunes. no!

Concubine Guo Shu didn't know, but how could she say her bitterness?She was afraid of provoking Princess Tongchang again!The emperor said with a cold face, "What's so important about my beloved concubine?" Looking at the many concubines following her, everyone except Yang Yu came.

Concubine Guo Shu knelt down awe-inspiringly, and said: "This kind of incident in the harem, I think it is because of lax management! I think that in this harem, the ancestral system must be restored in order to be orderly! The cause of this incident , It is also because of not respecting the ancestral system, the uneven rain and dew made the harem so chaotic! Therefore, this concubine implores the emperor, this matter of serving the bed should follow the ancestral system, and there should be a female history in charge!"

It turns out that the Tang Dynasty had a unique sleeping system, "3000 beauties in the harem", if there were no rules and regulations, wouldn't it be a mess?Besides, in fact, three thousand in the Tang Dynasty was just an imaginary number, and there were tens of thousands of beauties in the harem of the Tang Dynasty.Due to the large number of beauties, the distribution of the harem servants naturally became a problem.

However, women in the harem of the Tang Dynasty had a clear status, in order: empress; four wives: noble concubine, Shu concubine, de concubine, and virtuous concubine (the above are the first grade); nine concubines: Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi , Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan (the above are the second rank); 27 women of the world: nine Jieyu (the third rank), nine beauties (the fourth rank), nine talented people (the fourth rank) 81 imperial wives: 27 Baolin (for the sixth rank), 27 royal women (for the seventh rank), and 27 Cainu (for the eighth rank).These high-ranking concubines, of course, also have many accompanying female officials, court ladies, handymen, etc., the number is very large.

The order of accompanying the imperial servants in the harem of the Tang Dynasty was formulated according to the full moon and the waning of the moon, which was similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty.The first fifteen days of each month are gradually full, and the last fifteen days are gradually lacking, so from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the turn of the low-ranking ones goes to the high-ranking ones, and from the sixteenth to the end of the month, the turn of the high-ranking ones turns to the high-ranking ones. For the lower ones, the queen and the fourth wife have the priority, and the nine concubines and below are "reigned by nine and nine", that is, every nine people share their favor for one night.To be more specific, from the first day to the ninth day of the first day, 81 royal wives share one night for every nine people; thirteenth is nine concubines; fourteenth is fourth wife; It is the fourth wife, the eighteenth is the nine concubines, the nineteenth to 21st are the 27th wives, and every nine people share one night, and the 22nd to 81th are [-] royal wives, and every nine people share one night.
