Chapter 324: The Battle of the Harem

Li Xiang looked at it at this time, and saw that the lady in front of him had extremely upright facial features, her skin was as white as jade, and she didn't look like she had plastic surgery, and then she looked at her eyes, obviously she didn't look like she had ever been blind in one eye, besides, where was there such a clever plastic surgery in ancient times, which could turn an ugly girl into such a noble and dignified beauty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Xiang has already figured it out, so he is even more convinced that those legends are pure nonsense, someone must have heard some rumors, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished quickly, so this statement naturally passed down.

I saw Jia Wanqing bowing and said, "Thank you Lord Li for coming to see you, please take a seat." Li Xiang hurriedly thanked him, and found a chair to sit on, but he didn't speak, just waited quietly on the side, thinking that since this lady of Tongyi County asked her to come, she must have something to say.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard Jia Wanqing say: "Lord Li has just come to Lin'an, and he is busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China all day, I must not know much about the people around the emperor, I heard that at the beginning of this year, the Lord painted a portrait of the emperor and Mrs. Zhaoyi County, and the Japanese lady was also fortunate to see it, and it was really painted vividly, even clearer than what you saw in the mirror, I don't know what method the Lord used, and it was so realistically painted?" ”

When Li Xiang heard that it was painting again, his head was a little big for a while, and he said indiscriminately: "This is the painting technique of our inkjet school, which is extremely complicated, and it is not easy to understand it for a while. ”

Jia Wanqing didn't ask any more questions, and after a while, she only heard her sigh faintly, and said: "Lord Li's painting skills are extremely clever, the emperor tasted Lord Li's painting skills, so he called the adults into the palace to paint, which was originally taken for granted, but since the emperor got this painting, he first called all the harem concubines to take turns to look at it, and then regarded this painting as a treasure and collected it properly, and no longer showed it to others to see, which is fine, but the emperor has changed a lot since then, Inseparable from Mrs. Zhaoyi County all day long, every morning after the morning must go to Zhaoyi County Mansion, completely treating the other concubines as nothing. ”

When Li Xiang heard Jia Wanqing say this, he thought that this was nothing more than some concubines competing for favor, or some complaints from the harem resentful women, and these trivial matters were inevitably indispensable around the emperors of previous dynasties, but they were also normal. It's just that I casually drew a picture at that time, or took a random photo, although it has something to do with it, but it won't let Mrs. Tongyi come to ask in person, right?

Could it be that this Jia Wanqing also wants me to paint a portrait of her, so that she can compete with Mrs. Zhaoyi for favor? But according to historical records, Jia Wanqing is very politically minded and scheming, so she shouldn't be so superficial, right? I only heard Jia Wanqing continue: "Lord Li must be thinking, what does this matter of harem concubines have to do with foreign ministers?" In fact, adults don't know that every concubine who can be selected into the harem, unless the appearance is particularly outstanding, there are some court forces behind it. If the emperor is just closer to Mrs. Jia, this is fine, Mrs. Ben will not invite the adults to meet today, but the emperor has listened to Mrs. Jia's words more recently, and is even ready to transfer his brother Jia Yidao from Jiaxing directly to the court to serve as the head of the military department. ”

"What? Jia seems to be the way!? Li Xiang was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly stood up, then felt that he had lost his temper, and sat down slowly, still unable to believe what he had just heard. Li Xiang's behavior was shocked, but Jia Wanqing was startled, she didn't understand why Li Xiang reacted like this after hearing Jia Yidao's name. In fact, according to historical records, Jia Rudao will wait until the Song and Mongolia wars and then be worshiped by Li Zong as the right minister, but Jia Rudao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and his surrender policy directly led to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Jia Wanqing naturally didn't know this, but seeing Li Xiang's expression, she was obviously extremely sensitive to Jia Nidao and the three of them, and said strangely at the moment: "Does Master Li know Jia Nidao?" ”

Li Xiang blurted out: "I don't know!" It's just that this person can't be a member of the DPRK, let alone the prime minister! Jia Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, thinking to herself that I just said that I just said the position of the head of the office, and when did I say that I would be the prime minister, and even if her sister was a concubine or a queen, it would not be so easy to be the prime minister. In fact, Li Xiang had already regretted it at this time, he had just said the original historical facts without thinking on impulse, but fortunately Jia Wanqing didn't think much about it, otherwise once he asked again, it would be really difficult to explain. In fact, it was not because of Concubine Jia that Jia Nidao was promoted to prime minister step by step, but purely because there was really no more suitable candidate in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, Jia Nidao's ability was not very strong, and his personal morality was not very good, but he was the strongest among the remaining people in the Southern Song Dynasty who were qualified enough to be prime ministers, and the rest of them were simply rotten Confucians who could only write some moral articles.

Li Xiang had already understood at this time that Jia Wanqing was described as a female politician in the original history, and now it seems that it is not an exaggeration, and now that she can find herself, she can see that this person is accurate. Although Li Xiang has not been in the DPRK and China for a short time, his influence is not small, not that Li Xiang has much power, but that everything he has done in the past six months or so is unexpected, and the results are all shocking; even if there are some contradictions between the ministers of the DPRK and China, or if they have political disagreements with each other, they are extremely supportive of Li Xiang's approach. Jia Wanqing saw this point, and knew that Li Xiang would definitely be able to come up with some way to persuade Li Zong, and Li Xiang had just arrived in Lin'an, so he did not belong to any of the central forces, so she invited Li Xiang to meet.

Jia Wanqing continued: "Since Lord Li entered the court, the emperor has always been impressed by Lord Li, and whenever Lord Li has suggestions, the emperor will also listen to them. Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Madame's words are serious, this official must do his best." ”

Li Xiang shook his head secretly, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while, he only felt that the reason why he worked so hard was nothing more than for the Great Song Dynasty to recover Jiangbei and avoid the Mongol iron cavalry from burning and looting in the south, he really shouldn't participate in this harem dispute, he even felt that it was natural for a man to only like one woman in his life, but as an emperor, he couldn't help it, and he couldn't even choose who he should like, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he had to maneuver between various forces, In this way, there is no fun in being an emperor.

Li Xiang returned home and was busy for a while. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, Li Xiang opened the door and looked, but saw Yuru standing outside the door, with her hand behind her back as if she was hiding something, and said with a smile: "Guess what good things I brought?"
