Chapter 1004: Tang An'an
There are more than 1,000 women who came to take the exam this year, not too much and not too little, which did not surprise Cheng Yue, but the name of the first place in the woman scared Cheng Yue a lot!
Tang An'anββ!
The emperors of the Song Dynasty occasionally acted as prostitutes, the Northern Song Dynasty had Huizong and Li Shishi, and the Southern Song Dynasty was Li Zong and Tang An'an!
Li Zong was a good woman in his later years, and the thousands of delicate beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards were especially insufficient, and he always felt that there was no satisfaction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Zong has an attendant named Dong Songchen by his side, and this person can be seen from his name, he is good at observing faces and feelings, and is good at flattery. Seeing that Rijong seemed to be a little depressed, he immediately saw the crux of the problem, so he looked for beautiful women everywhere and waited for an opportunity to dedicate them to Rizong.
It just so happened that at this time in Lin'an City, a beautiful Ji became famous, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
This Mei Ji is Tang An'an. Tang An'an was fourteen years old at the time, beautiful, good at singing and dancing, it is said that even sweat is fragrant, all the men in Lin'an are crazy about it, and there are many people who want to redeem her body. The old bustard was overjoyed and waited for the price to sell, but he didn't expect to wait for Dong Songchen.
Dong Songchen has been in the palace for a long time, what kind of stunning beauty has he not seen? But when he came here and saw Tang An'an, he couldn't help but be amazed!
Dong Songchen was overjoyed and explained to the old bustard what was on the mind of Li Zong, and the old bustard was so happy that he almost fainted, how could he not be willing? So, Dong Songchen took Tang An'an into the palace and presented a song and dance for Li Zong.
Tang An'an is worthy of singing and dancing, coupled with bright eyes, lively and sweet, Li Zong fell in love with Tang An'an at first sight, and immediately left her in the palace, and was very pampered. As a courtesan, the only one who can stay in the palace to serve the emperor is Tang An'an!
As a result, Emperor Li gave Tang An'an a great reward, and the utensils in Tang An'an's house, from the makeup box and wine utensils to the water pot and fire box, were all made of gold and silver; The tents and mattresses are also full of silk and splendor; There are countless treasures to play.
Mu Zicai, the living man, wrote to advise, Li Zong knew that he was wrong, but he refused to let Tang An'an leave, and only told Mu Zicai that he was not allowed to make a noise. Yao Mian reprimanded Tang Ming Emperor again, and Li Zong would rather be cheeky than refuse to drive Tang An'an away.
Dong Songchen also became more and more favored by Li Zong because of this incident, and later colluded with Prime Minister Ding Daquan to favor and manipulate power, and was known as "Dong Yanluo". The people of the time said that "a moment of flame, really enough to shake the mountains, return to the sky and stay in the sun." β
The reason why Wen Tianxiang stayed away from the imperial court was also related to Dong Songchen, and when he went not far away, Cheng Yue was very clear about this story.
After the death of Li Zong, Tang An'an could no longer live in the palace as a courtesan, and Du Zong could not keep her openly, so she left Lin'an and disappeared. But what I never expected was that she would reappear in such a way, which surprised everyone!
Xie Fang is a humble gentleman, and the other ministers are also honest ministers, presumably based on the results of the exam alone, Tang Anan's grades are so good that the ministers can't suppress her, so they simply list her name and let Cheng Yue make up his own mind. But in this way, Cheng Yue also made a difficulty.
Tang An'an's identity is very embarrassing, few ministers in the court are willing to mention it, and some ministers also have some grievances with her, how to deal with such a woman?
Cheng Yue's brows were furrowed, and the six ladies beside him couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw it-the governor has always been bright and cheerful, and he should be even happier when he saw the results of the imperial examination, why did he look hesitant?
Mrs. Gu leaned over and said softly, "Official, is there anything embarrassing?" β
Cheng Yue sighed, handed the fold in his hand to Mrs. Gu, and said, "It's very troublesome for someone who shouldn't have appeared." β
Mrs. Gu took the fold, and the ladies read it together, and said with a smile: "Official, what's so difficult about this?" Anyway, it's not ranked, and the official sent her to a certain yamen. β
Cheng Yue shook his head and said: "That's unfair, Tang An'an used to be just a singer who served Li Zong, except for living a luxurious life, he didn't do anything evil. I openly recruited for the purpose of selecting talents, just because of her previous identity, I had to deliberately suppress her, and I was worried that some people would be uneasy. The news that Tang Anan won the first place will leak out sooner or later. β
The six ladies nodded again and again, Sanqi Bureau and Ryoko didn't know the famous Tang An'an, but they understood the meaning of Cheng Yue's words.
Mrs. Luo said puzzledly: "Why did this Tang An'an suddenly appear at this time?" What is the intention? β
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "I also think it's strange, it's unlikely that she was instructed by someone, so I don't believe that she appeared to serve the imperial court." β
Mrs. Song said: "The official might as well see her in private and listen to her words, if she has any tricks, the official will know at first sight." β
Cheng Yue snorted and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow." After saying that, he put the fold aside and looked at the other folds intently.
At dusk, the Suzhou Mansion is already brightly lit, the inner hall of the Mansion is full of delicacies, full of friends, and many civil ministers and military generals from Song, Yuan, Japan and Goryeo have already sat down, just waiting for Cheng Yue and others to arrive.
After a while, Zhenjin, Tuhuan and others arrived with Basiba, and the ministers immediately got up to greet them. Zhenjin has not yet met the ministers one by one, and Cheng Yue has already led Nanbi and other concubines and princesses into the inner hall.
Headed by real gold, the ministers saluted together, and from the side, Cheng Yue was clearly the frame of the lord of the Southern Song Dynasty!
Unlike in the Yuan Dynasty, Cheng Yue's highest official position in the Southern Song Dynasty was only the third-ranked prime minister, as for the military position, it was so big that it could not be compared with the position of the prime minister, and the most capable identity was only the righteous son of the empress dowager and the emperor's teacher, while Zhenjin was the crown prince of the Great Yuan and the king of Yan, who received the Zhongshu order. Tuhuan is the prince, and Basi Ba is Kublai Khan's imperial teacher, and Kublai Khan and Chabi want to pay a disciple salute to him. Whether it is identity or position, Cheng Yue is under the real gold, dehuan and gossip in the Great Song Dynasty, nominally speaking, the Shunyi King of Hengren is higher than Cheng Yue. As for the queens and princesses behind Cheng Yue, needless to say, the dignity of their identities is far above Cheng Yue.
Zhenjin and the others all took the initiative to salute Cheng Yue, which is equivalent to acquiescing to Cheng Yue as the lord of the Southern Song Dynasty, and all etiquette is the same as the emperor! The many ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who followed the real gold salute couldn't help but be a little frightened, if the scene in front of them was seen by the two saints, would it set off a monstrous wave?
Cheng Yue didn't care about this at all, and said with a smile after returning the salute: "Prince, the diet in the south is different from that in the north, and I was not very used to it when I first came to the Great Song Dynasty, I have ordered someone to readjust it according to the prince's taste, the prince has worked hard all the way, you might as well use more." β
