Tuoba Tao has the title of "princess collector" in later generations, and there are princesses of various countries and daughters of wealthy chieftains in his harem, and many men envy him for marrying the most beautiful princess of various countries, only he himself knows, not that he likes to marry princesses, but that there is no other way. If you love to play and watch, you can come to the Internet......

He simply used ** to appease the men of the clans of various countries.

The same is true this time, the famous seats are given to Princess Rouran and the nobles of the major clans, most of the Han women are either "sick" or have many shortcomings that are not suitable, in fact, many people know in their hearts, it is just an excuse for the Han people not to want their daughters to marry into the palace.

It's good if you can give birth to a prince, but it's a pity that the Xianbei court is "the death of the son and the mother", not to mention that there is already a prince with a high status and a smart prince since childhood, even if this prince can't be the prince, the five surnames don't want the concubines in the harem to fold in the palace like this, because the "mother death" system makes it impossible for the queen mother to interfere in the government, and it is impossible to directly shake the rule of the Hu people.

In this election, in addition to making the harem have many more women, Tuoba Tao also ordered several things to be done.

First, the women who were not released in the palace in this draft can choose not to enter the harem as concubines, but to be canonized as female officials and take charge of various chores in the palace. Female officials are like courtiers in the palace, with rewards and rest, and they can marry on their own when they are twenty-five years old, and the palace is responsible for handling family affairs.

Xianbei people don't often pick out women, most of them are the women of which family the emperor values, call the head of which family to understand, and then send them to the palace. But in recent years, with the pace of conquest getting faster and faster, there are more and more objects that need to be married, so many young and beautiful women have been selected to enter the palace together.

Among these women, some of them were actually Li Daitao's stiff entry into the palace, and some of them were unwilling to enter the palace as concubines although everything was suitable, and they only entered the palace under family pressure.

Tuoba Tao has no shortage of women, and naturally he is not willing to force people to die, but he panicked when he let people out like this, so he simply issued such a royal order and left many women in the palace as female officials.

In the current palace, the sinners are mainly promoted to female officials, and most of the palace maids have no knowledge or even literacy. Due to the remnants of the tribal system, many women also brought their family slaves with them when they entered the palace as concubines, and these female slaves were organized into factions, which also complicated the situation in the harem.

The status of the sinner maid is low, so naturally there are many things that cannot be done, but the female officials composed of these noble women are not. They have high status, culture, family background, and background, and their means are more powerful than the palace maids in the palace. With them, the long-standing chaotic situation in the palace can be completely broken, and the female officials composed of these noble ladies can only choose to be loyal to the emperor in order to be able to marry people out of the palace smoothly.

Otherwise, on a whim of the emperor, the female official will become a "lady".

The second is that the harem is overcrowded, and Tuoba Tao Kaien released more than 1,000 palace people, most of whom are sinful maids who have been in the palace for more than ten years, and some crimes are particularly severe and "heinous", so they are released from the palace and sent to various palaces, imperial villages, and pastures to run errands.

Most of the palace maids are directly released to marry.

It is said that on the day when the palace people were released, there were many people outside the palace who hugged their heads and cried, and there were many who kowtowed outside the palace gate. These people are all in the palace because of their crimes, and they don't know how long they will stay in the palace, and some of them have family and friends outside the palace.

There are many people who are reluctant to leave the palace, they have been convicted since they were children, they have entered the palace, in addition to grinding in the palace, they don't know how to live, and some even want to stay. Helplessly, Tuoba Tao was determined to send these people out, and the concubines who were used to using these "old men" in the palaces were also helpless.

It is precisely because of the release of people that so many women were selected to come in in the general election, and instead of being crowded, the palace is much more organized. The old palace people from all sides were let out, and there were suddenly many vacancies left in the palace, and the remaining young palace people worked hard one by one to fill these vacancies.

Even Zhao Changshou sighed that the little eunuchs below him were faster than before.

***

Outside the Wuchang Palace.

"I didn't expect you to choose to enter the palace as a female official." He Mulan looked at Wang Muyun, who was dressed in an official uniform and wearing a humble official hat, and said with a smile: "Running errands by the side of His Highness, I'm afraid you will have to work hard." ”

"I didn't want to get married. If I say this, it will be appalling, even if I am an enlightened person like my grandfather and mother, if I want to say that I will not marry, I am afraid that I will be forced to make someone else. If that's the case, it's better to be a female official in the palace, I'm eighteen years old this year, and I'll stay for seven or eight years before leaving the palace, and I'm not too old. ”

"What's more, although His Highness is only three years old, he is very smart."

Wang Muyun paused, and said with a somewhat strange attitude: "I haven't even seen a smarter child than His Highness." ”

is only three years old, and he already knows so many words, and he is very decent in receiving people and things on weekdays, far from being comparable to ordinary children.

"Your Majesty arranged you by His Royal Highness's side, firstly, because you have a cheerful personality, and His Majesty does not want to use an indecisive woman to raise his son, and secondly, because you are superb in martial arts and can protect the safety of the little prince."

He Mulan sighed: "You are good, you have not entered the harem." It is a great fortune not to be a concubine, and there are many people who do not want to be female officials for the concubine, and they are all assigned to the harem to assist those ladies, and they are crying and crying. ”

Everyone knows that the harem is too crowded, and even the third lady and Zhaoyi don't have a ** palace, how can they prepare too spacious places for female officials? There are more than six people in one room, and as little as four people in one room, even if there are so many palace people in the palace, the place is not enough.

Many noble ladies are also the daughters of golden branches and jade leaves at home, and as soon as they enter the palace, they fall into the mud instantly, and it is good that they do not collapse.

"Thank you, I'm going back too, I can't be common in the future, and I can't race horses and shoot arrows wantonly......" Wang Muyun was a little melancholy, and shook his head again and chuckled.

"That's it, my own choice, I carry it myself."

"If you don't want to be a female official, I can intercede and let you go out of the palace."

The door of the main hall was pushed open from it, and Su Hejun walked out of it with a straight face.

"You were wrong when you chose to enter the palace in the first place! Uncle is very happy every day, you must know that you are so sacrificed, and you will have to live a hard life in the future! ”

Wang Muyun saw Su Hejun should have reflexively provoked him a few words, but she didn't know if she was worried about parting or she was really bored in her heart, she just refused his kindness.

"My grandfather seems to have lived a dissolute life, but in fact, he often misses his relatives and friends at home. My grandmother also knew, so whenever he went for a walk, he always followed, just because he was worried that he would regret it. Besides, I'm a woman, so I can't pass on the door, even if I'm both civil and military, what's the use......"

"You don't want to leave the palace?" Su Hejun frowned, "Why don't you think about it anymore." ”

"You long-tongued man, why are you so enthusiastic? I didn't report my illness, and I didn't want to enter the palace as a wife, except to be a female official, how else could I get out? ”

Wang Muyun glared.

"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!"

He Mulan looked at it from the sidelines and laughed in his heart, but he also agreed with Su Hejun's words, Wang Muyun sacrificed for her parents, but her parents didn't necessarily want her to do this.

She became a female official this time, and there seems to be no benefit except for the Wang family, if she can go out of the palace, she might as well give it a try.

"I'm watching the two of us know each other since childhood, and the two families are close friends! If your cousins knew that you were a female official and I didn't help, they would definitely scold me to death! ”

Su Hejun was in a hurry.

"Then what can you do to get me out?"

Wang Muyun raised some hope slightly, and looked at Su Hejun without blinking.

"I'm going to tell Your Majesty that I love you in my heart and don't want you to spend so many years in the palace, so I beg Your Majesty to let you out......"

Su Hejun blushed and said, "His Majesty has a generous personality, and he should be able to ......"

"Forget it."

Wang Muyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, and simply turned around and left.

“…… Then I might as well stay in the palace for a few more years. ”

So He Mulan and Su Hejun watched the disappointed Wang Muyun leave, leaving only the two of them staring at each other.

Su Hejun's expression was like being slapped and hit the south wall, while He Mulan was embarrassed and funny, not knowing what expression to show.

She had just witnessed a human tragedy, and Su Hejun, who was arrogant and sought after everywhere she went, would be rejected without hesitation......

"Ahem, in fact, you shouldn't say how you want to intercede, just ask her if she is willing." He Mullan coughed dryly and turned his head away.

"Now...... Now what? ”

"If I don't say it now, she'll only get angrier later. According to His Majesty's character, if I ask for this, he will definitely give us marriage. When the time comes, if she wants to or not, it is possible to shed blood in the cave room. ”

Su Hejun smiled bitterly.

"I thought that no matter how much she hated me, it would be better than stumbling around in the palace, at least I was still a person who knew the roots, but I didn't expect her to be willing to stay up until twenty-five than accept my kindness."

"It's not me saying that you're a bit of a robbery like this." He Mulan shook his head, "What's more, Yun Niang and you didn't have any feelings before, and only ghosts can I promise you." If you really love her, you might as well take advantage of her to contact her more when she is in the palace and take care of her more, the two of them have some emotional foundation, so that they can talk about marriage! ”

Su Hejun was in a hurry before he made a faint move, and after listening to He Mulan's words, he nodded again and again, I am afraid that he wanted to use his status as a close minister of the Son of Heaven to brush Wang Muyun's favorability.

What worries Hermulan is Su Hejun's age. He is already in his twenties, which is almost an outlier among the Xianbei people who married early, if he waits for Wang Muyun for a few more years, I am afraid that he will have to survive until thirty, even if Su Hejun can afford to wait, Su Hejun's family may not be able to afford to wait.

However, these are not the problems that He Mulan should consider, Tuoba Tao chose a concubine, and he had to stay in the palace during this time to "make people" with peace of mind, He Mulan was much more idle than before, and he didn't need to enter the palace from time to time.

Su Hejun is the same, he is in charge of the world egret, there are many things to deal with, even if he wants to have a long relationship, there is not much time for him to solve personal problems.

He Mullan sometimes even wonders if the world in those romance novels is the real world, where does a male protagonist have to compete for domination of the world, organize production, and fall in love?

She is just a small general, she has been so busy that she can't wait for forty-eight hours a day, Tuoba Tao often has to get up early to deal with business after the harem, and then go to the court, tired like a dog, as for Su Hejun, Kumoti and others, all of them are masters who only sleep for less than three hours a day......

It's no wonder that in this era, it is the words of the parents who are destined to match, except that young people usually don't meet, but all promising young people don't have time to fall in love, so they can only get married first and then fall in love, I'm afraid it's also a reason.

***

Not long after Tuoba Tao's general election, another major event occurred in Beijing.

The Buddha of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the Wei State was founded in the early days, did not know how the country should develop in order to achieve long-term peace and stability, and tried many methods, and it was also a kind of Buddhist concept to educate the people. At that time, the Han people did not have a large number of scholars, Buddhism in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty to develop rapidly, there are thousands of Buddhist temples inside and outside Pingcheng, and the nobles who believe in Buddhism do not know how many.

In this atmosphere, a large number of Xianbei nobles made statues, copied scriptures, erected monuments, dug Buddha caves on mountain cliffs, etc., and the "Wei Tablet Body" that had a profound impact on later generations was derived from the demand for a large number of Buddha statues, Buddhist temples, Buddha monuments and stone carvings in the social environment at that time.

Kou Qianzhi is a genius, and he is indeed a capable person, so he can take the upper route to fight a way out when the Buddhism family was dominant, and give the Daomen a chance to develop.

Confucianism was almost dilapidated in the Wei and Jin dynasties, when metaphysics and Huang Lao's learning was the mainstream, extending to the Northern Wei Dynasty, from Cui Hao to other Han scholars, they all took the skin of Confucianism, used the flesh and blood of Taoism, the essence of the Dharma, and the interests of Taoism and Han people wanted to be combined, so as to get the status of Confucianism and Buddhism.

Originally, this kind of division was evenly matched, until the Beiliang monk Tan Wuyu came with the mission, and finally attached to the Wei State and supported himself in the Huguo Temple.

Tan Wuyu is a high monk from Tianzhu, Beiliang governs the country with Buddhism, and has its own system. The national conditions of Beiliang are more complicated than those of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are many horse thieves and rogues in the territory, various ethnic groups often revolt, the Hu people are fierce by nature, and they kill people at every turn, and the whole country is in chaos.

Therefore, Fuqu Mengxun used the "Buddhism" to educate the people, so that they believed in Buddhism and loved their lives, and said that the king of Beiliang was the Buddha to extradite everyone to become Buddhas, which was basically like a situation of integration of politics and religion.

And Tan Wuyu is a candidate for the national teacher who has great hopes.

In this era, it is extremely rare for a person to be able to hold up an entire religion or doctrine as a genius, Kou Qianzhi is one, and Tan Wuyu is also one.

He was a Tianzhu person, with a lot of knowledge and proficient in Buddhism, and he helped Fuqu Mengxun to implement the system and culture of the Kushan Dynasty in ancient India in Beiliang, so that Fuqu Mengxun easily made the whole country believe in Buddhism and believe in him.

After Tan Wuyu arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was immediately protected by Tuoba Tao, not only there were guards in the Huguo Temple every day to protect him, but also gave him a large amount of gold, silver and Buddhist utensils, to assist him in translating scriptures and preaching Buddhism in the temple with peace of mind.

When the monks of the entire Central Plains heard that Tan Wuyu was in Pingcheng, they all came to Beijing to see him. When the senior monks of Liu Song heard that Tan Wuyu had come to the Northern Wei Dynasty, they even crossed the border at great risk, just to be able to see Tan Wuyu.

Tan Wuyu not only translated Buddhist scriptures, but also often told Tuoba Tao the story that happened in Tianzhu. At this time, Tianzhu had also experienced turmoil and various doctrinal disputes, and what happened in Tianzhu could give Tuoba Tao some enlightenment about governing the country.

Even Tuoba Tao thought that Tan Wuyu was deeply knowledgeable, so there were more dignitaries, good men and women who came to visit, and Tan Wuyu's reputation suddenly reached an astonishing level in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Some even played directly in the middle of the court, hoping that Tuoba Tao would simply give Feng Tan Wuyu as the "national teacher" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so as not to start wandering around again after Tan Wuyu and not be able to stay in Wei for a long time.

Although this matter was later dismissed by Tuoba Tao, the Huguo Temple where Tan Wuyu was located became the temple with the most incense, and many Xianbei nobles began to worship him spontaneously.

It's just that I don't know when it started, and a lot of rumors began to spread in Beijing. Some people preach that Tan Wuyu is a "demon monk", saying that he claimed to know a "male and female double body method" when he was in Beiliang, but in fact, it is a secret technique in the room/zhong, and the women of Beiliang all ask him for advice in order to have a child.

He taught these secret techniques to the princess and daughter-in-law of the Northern Liang King, who was the promiscuity of the Northern Liang royal family, and it had become the norm for men and women to make up for each other.

In addition, there are rumors that Tan Wuyu stayed in the Northern Wei Dynasty in order to wait for an opportunity to approach Tuoba Tao, so as to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Emperor Wei and give Beiliang a chance to breathe.

Tan Wuyu is proficient in poison and spells, and he did a good job as a national teacher in Beiliang, but he suddenly entered the Wei realm, invited himself into the palace, and began to try his best to obtain Tuoba Tao's recognition, which is difficult not to make people think.

These rumors spread almost overwhelmingly throughout Pingcheng, and the reason was that it was precisely because Tuoba Tao was holding a general election that many families quietly visited Tan Wuyu to get the secret of the legendary "double body method", or hoped that the daughter who was running for election could learn the "double body method" and the solid favor was revealed.

Although Tuoba Tao likes women, his personality is actually more conservative, and he is not very interested in this kind of "room/middle/technique" and other things.

The news in this era was not clear, and Tuoba Tao was not a person who believed in Buddhism, so that many nobles in Pingcheng knew about Tan Wu Hui from various sources, but he didn't know.

By the time Tuoba Tao learned from the Egret official that the name of the "demon monk" had begun to spread wildly in Beijing, things had already developed out of control.

The reuse of monks who are good at various techniques and proficient in the classics is called thirsty for talents, and the monks who are good at "secret art in the room" and are favored by obscure things are "faint kings".

Tuoba Tao was not prepared to establish a country with Buddha, so he was particularly cautious about this, and even personally summoned Tan Wuyu to inquire.

Tan Wuyu also felt very innocent.

He is a Tianzhu person, "sex" is sacred in Hinduism, love and sex are the two most beautiful things in life, although he believes in Buddhism, but Buddhism at this time is from the Hindu reform and evolution, leaving a lot of Hindu shadows, for this aspect is not deeply hated.

What he taught many women in Beiliang was not an ulterior skill, but an old classic in Tianzhu, called "The Book of Love". Tianzhu people believe that "love" is innate, and can be taught without a teacher, but "sex" must be learned to master. This book was only one of the many classics he left the Tianzhu belt, which was later discovered by the King of Beiliang and then ordered him to translate.

As for what "daughter-in-law and daughter must learn, often study together" and so on, it is even more misinformation. Although this book is known by the Beiliang royal family, it has not been bold enough to the point that a group of people "practice" together, but Sanskrit is difficult to understand, and there are many difficulties in it.

Frustrated Qu Mengxun probably also felt that this kind of rumor was not good, and later did not allow Tan Wuyu to translate the book again, and the other female relatives could only study it secretly in private.

It's just that this kind of thing is "□□", if it is generous to others, then others may not necessarily see it, but it is forbidden and not allowed to be discussed, but it is spread in a boiling and extremely mysterious way, what "double body method", what "childbearing technique", and the messy remarks have also come out, and Tan Wuyu has been rendered as a monk who is good at this secret art, and he has not even gotten rid of it in the Wei State.

Knowing that Tan Wuyu really had such a classic, and that he had really "taught" in the Beiliang royal family, Tuoba Tao knew that Tan Wuyu's reputation could not be washed away.

What's even more worrying is that because the rumors mentioned that all the women of the Beiliang royal family practiced this technique, and even the sister-in-law and brother-in-law, princess and prince, and the guards all "verified" together, which directly spread the Beiliang royal family like a bizarre place of demons and monsters, and the reputation of the princess and prince was also ruined.

Tuoba Tao is about to send a welcoming team to Beiliang to marry Princess Xingping, and this kind of reputation is spread at this time, which is equivalent to telling the whole world that Tuoba Tao is already full of green hats before he marries.

No man can tolerate such rumors, even if they may be false. At least the Xianbei women of the Northern Wei Dynasty are open, and they are not open to the point where everyone comes to study the "room technique" together, and the Xianbei clans will not accept that the princess of Beiliang has a proud "talent" in this regard.

As for the prince and sister-in-law's "reluctance to do something", the spearhead is directed at the frustrated herd Qian. Fuqu Muqian is the third prince, and his two elder brothers were once appointed as heirs, and both died, and the two sisters-in-law became the guardians and inheritors of the huge family property.

If it weren't for him, his other brothers wouldn't have married wives, or he would have been cuckolded.

This rumor spread just before Tuoba Tao's election of concubines, the Egret officials did not foresee it, and the rumors attracted many people who believed that it was true, and Huguo Temple was openly and secretly stepped on the threshold by those people who were elected in the general election, which seemed to faintly confirm that these rumors were true.

As a result, not only was Tan Wuyu forbidden to enter and leave the inner palace by the Xianbei clan, but even the Compassion Master, who got along happily with Tan Wuyu and often preached together, was also questioned whether he had the character of accompanying He Mulan to Beiliang.

The extremely bad impact caused by this incident not only made it difficult for Tan Wuyu to move forward, but also made the day of He Mulan's mission to Beiliang have to be brought forward.

Because if it drags on, the domestic opposition will become louder and louder, and the marriage between Princess Xingping and her relatives in Beiliang will also come to naught.

He Mullan had almost not been ready for anything, and had already received "hints" from many parties.

And the "interpreter" given to her in the palace made He Mulan so shocked that he almost drew his sword.

"This is the temple man of the original Honglu Temple, proficient in Lushui Hu and multi-ethnic languages, with a loud voice and good speech, and now he is the person next to His Majesty."

Zhao Chang, who came to announce the decree in the palace, led a yellow-clothed petty official behind him to salute He Mulan.

"Sheren Zheng Zong, meet General Huwei!"

The author has something to say: just got home from work, first have a meal, the second shift is around half past eight, everyone wait patiently (⊙o⊙)
