Everything about the emperor is related to many issues. Not to mention the issue of the emperor's marriage.

Putting aside the previous mention, the emperor's concubine will involve the interests and glory of many people, and so on. It will also implicate some problems with national fortunes. That's right, this seems to be a lot of nonsense, the emperor is just a concubine, and what kind of national fortune can't be on the sideline, why is there such a statement?

In fact, these statements have been around for a long time.

The Book of Rites? The "Six Rites" agreed in the "Shi Du Ceremony": Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Announcing the Date, and Greeting in person. This is a marriage procedure that generally a little noble people have to go through in ancient times, and the marriage procedure of the royal family, on the basis of this, its ceremony is more solemn and exquisite, and a series of complicated etiquette has been formed.

The emperor's marriage is called a big wedding, and the queen is selected by the queen mother and the princes and ministers of the clan. It is necessary to set up a special agency to handle the emperor's lifelong affairs. The ceremonial procedures mainly include "acceptance", "great march", "canonization", "flattery", "cooperation", "celebration", "feast", "prayer", each link is very grand, the cost is huge, non-folk can imagine.

Of course, the emperor's search for a wife and the search for harem concubines are two different things. The emperor's wife is the queen, which is related to the rise and fall of the country's society. Here, it is related to the issue of national fortunes.

Even if it's a concubine, you can't be too casual. At the very least, you have to pass the "blessing" level. If it coincides with the day when the emperor accepts a concubine, and something natural or man-made happens, then it is often reminiscent of whether the emperor accepted a certain concubine and affected the country's luck, and even, there will be courtiers or ordinary people who regard the concubine accepted by the emperor as an ominous person. Or he will write to admonish the emperor and abolish his concubine and send him to the cold palace. If they are more radical, they will even ask for their concubines to be sacrificed to heaven.

Sound. It seems that such a thing is too superstitious and blind, but there are indeed some such sayings in this ancient time.

The emperor's wedding or concubine is a festive event, and if something goes wrong, someone will put the fault on the concubine.

Actually, don't talk about this kind of statement in this ancient era. Even if it is a post-modern, technologically advanced era. There will still be a lot of rumors about the woman Kefu or something. It's just that that kind of statement only affects the fate of his family, and now in this ancient era, and if it is the emperor's concubine, then in the eyes of the world, it may affect the fortune of a country.

Perhaps, these things may seem inconsequential, but once something goes wrong. Then the world has something to say.

Therefore, for the **** of the Han Dynasty who has just established the country, Concubine Leina can be regarded as a major event of national concern. Something. But it is also impossible not to pay attention to it. At the very least, Liu Yide wants to officially canonize a group of women as concubines and give them an honorary title. so that the world may be familiar with and worship.

Now for Lewi, it seems to be just a process. And this process can affect too many people. But for now, it seems. It didn't seem to have any impact on himself, so Liu Yi didn't say much.

However, Liu Yi will not canonize the women around him according to the previous set. Because there were too many rules in the past, and there was a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, and there were clear levels at each level, which was too cumbersome.

Such as "Rites? "Dusk Yi" said that the concubine system of the Zhou Dynasty said: "The ancients set up six palaces after the Son of Heaven, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives."

And the harem of the emperors of the Han Dynasty was even more complicated. The concubines of the Han Dynasty listed eight grades: 1. the queen, 2. the lady, 3. the beauty, 4. the beloved, 5. the eighth son, 6. the seventh son, 7. the long envoy, and 8. the young envoy. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the 3,000 concubines in the harem have expanded to 14 levels. That is, 1. Zhaoyi, 2. Jieyu, 3. (female saint) E, 4. Ronghua, 5. beauty, 6. eight sons, 7. Chongyi, 8. seven sons, 9. beloved, 10. long envoy, 11. young envoy, 12. facial features, 13. shunchang, 14. no juan, republic, entertainment spirit, Baolin, etc. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the complexity was simplified again, and the six palaces were only called queens and nobles, and there were only three beauties, palace people, and women under them.

None of this is what Liu Yi wants. In Liu Yi's mind, on the surface, he wanted to be a model in the world, and he wanted to give the women around him a title, in order to make it easy for outsiders to remember and recognize. But in Liu Yi's mind, his women are equal in status and status, and when he is with him, Liu Yi prefers to hear them call themselves husbands rather than emperors. Once this position is established and implemented, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have harmony in the future.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager He Wan, the empress, and Princess Yang'an want to canonize the concubine as soon as possible, and announce it to the ministers in the court tomorrow. Liu Yi thought about it and said to the women who were dining together: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Liu Yi, have told you that the most fulfilling thing in my life is to be able to get the favor of so many of your beauties, and to be able to have you is the greatest happiness in my life." I also make a promise to you one by one, that is, I want to make you happy and happy in this life, and make you feel happy and happy. I also said that I will definitely marry you, even if you may not officially marry me Liu Yi for some reason. But I always think that if you like someone, you must let her have a name, because you may not be able to say it, but I know that in your heart, you will definitely desire this name. Because as long as you have this name, you will recognize the relationship with me Liu Yi from the bottom of your heart, and we can truly love each other honestly and stay together for a lifetime, without any separation, isn't this the truth? ”

Liu Yi didn't wait for them to answer, and continued: "However, our life seems to have changed a lot now, and our husband has ascended the throne as the emperor, and he is on the throne above ten thousand people. You have also entered the palace with your husband, and you will become the imperial concubine. However, what I want to say is that no matter what changes we have in our lives and changes in our status, we are still the same as before, and we should not affect our feelings for each other because of some superficial changes. We are still husband and wife, and you are still the women that I love with all my heart. We should not have any barriers between us that affect our feelings for each other. Therefore, when we have no outsiders, we don't need to worry about the change of status. We should have been as we were, in the palace. It's the same in our own home, at home. From now on you will all have to call me husband and nothing else. And the title of the concubine is only a title for the world, and it does not affect us anything. You can understand what your husband meant, right? ”

Liu Yi's tone was very sincere and sincere, and when his eyes slid over their faces, it was like a soft light brushing over them, which made their hearts soften, and many women's eyes were a little moist.

In fact. Because the women around Liu Yi really have too many relationships, in recent months, Liu Yi has also been busy with too many things, and it is difficult to take care of their mood one by one.

During this period of time, especially since Liu Yi ascended the throne as emperor, among them, there are really many women who are uneasy in their hearts, and they are restless in their hearts.

How so? If it is said in Liu's house. They do live happily and happily, although there are more women in this family, but when everyone is together. Everyone is kind, and they basically respect each other, and they are quite supportive of each other. What's the matter, when Lewy is not at home. They'll all work together to do it. In Liu's Mansion, it really makes them feel. Even if each woman comes from different families and different places, they can live together, and everyone is sisters and a family.

But all this seems to have changed suddenly. Their men have become emperors, and they will become imperial concubines, and they will soon live in the palace with the men who have become emperors.

Although they had all been in and out of the palace with Liu Yi, the novelty and mystery of the palace were no longer too strong, but when it came to the fact that they were going to enter the palace with Liu Yi and become the imperial concubine, they felt a little uncomfortable. Because for them, the palace seems to be a very, very far away place, a place high up, a place of divine majesty, and a place of mystery. They also know better that there are too many rules in the palace.

They may even worry about what will happen to them if they violate some of the etiquette of the palace and break some rules in the palace. The former husband, his own man, is now the emperor, how will he get along with this man? Is it the same as before, or do you want to abide by the rules of the palace?

In the hearts of some women who had lived a very difficult life before they got along with Liu Yi, they were actually more willing to continue to stay in Liu's Mansion, and they hoped to live the kind of carefree and hard-won happy life in Liu's Mansion. They have a natural sense of awe for the palace that is incomparably tall in the minds of the common people. It was hard for them to imagine what life would be like when they arrived at the palace.

However, they also know that it is unlikely, because Liu Yi, a man, is everything to them, and they must follow Liu Yi's side. In this way, even if they were a little uneasy in their hearts, they did not express the doubts in their hearts.

But now, Liu Yi's words are tantamount to saying what they think in their hearts and giving them a reassurance. At least, all the women can feel very cordially that their man is still the man who loves them very much, and he has not changed in the slightest because he became the emperor.

"In my husband's heart, you are all my beloved wives, no matter how high or low. Therefore, the husband will not canonize your name according to the original rules in the palace. Let's keep it simple. Liu Yi seemed to think for a while and said, "In this way, the palace maid in charge of recording will remember it first." ”

"In addition to the specific title of the queen's middle palace, there are also East Palace and West Palace, the East Palace Niangniang is Cai Yan's sister, and the West Palace is Diao Chan's sister. Other sisters, such as Yuan Qing as Concubine Qing, Zhao Yu as Concubine Yu, Sister Zhang Shao as Concubine Shao, Sister Mi Zhen as Concubine Zhen, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, Cao Hua, Concubine Xian, Concubine Jie, Concubine Hua, Concubine Dong, Sister Yin Xiao as Concubine Xiao, Sister Yi Ji as Concubine Yi, Lan Ji as Concubine Lan......"

Liu Yi dictated the name of each woman and asked the palace maid to record it and announce it in the court tomorrow.

Unified as a concubine, generally with the names of all women as the title, but if it is the same name, use the surname, if there are multiple women with the same surname, they will be named such as Ming Concubine, Xian Concubine, Hui Concubine, etc., will use some easy-to-remember and meaningful titles. In this way, it is easy to remember, and you will know who is who at first listen.

It didn't take long for dozens of women to be blocked by Liu Yi, and they all accepted these titles.

After finishing the matter, Liu Yi let the women eat, and then waved his hand, hugging left and right to have fun regardless of it.

Liu Yi could see that several princesses seemed to have a little opinion, especially Princess Yang'an. Liu Yi also knows a little bit of her thoughts, because in her mind, it was not easy to calm the chaotic world, restore the Han family, and make the court clear. In this way, she wants to restore the order of the previous palace, and hopes that the palace will be a sacred and majestic place as before, and everyone must abide by the rules.

In her words, or in the words of some courtiers in the court, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, only when everyone abides by the rules, can the king maintain that high position, in order to firmly grasp this power over the world.

But it's a pity that Liu Yi doesn't intend to make this class too clear, and if he says it's lonely, it will make Liu Yi feel very boring.

For some careful thoughts of the princesses, Liu Yi didn't pay too much attention to it, and he would slowly explain to them in the future, and they would slowly accept it, and they could understand that the current Han court was already two completely different things from the previous Han court.

In fact, the most important thing is that after Liu Yike became the emperor, the women around him had a sense of awe for him. If all the women are so awe-inspiring that they dare not approach themselves, they all become sincerely afraid, and they all change their original unique personalities, and they have to wait for themselves to be pampered one by one, then what about having three thousand beauties? What's the difference between being with yourself and the same woman?

What Liu Yi likes, in addition to the fact that these women do have different beautiful faces, also likes their different temperament and personality traits even more. Only when women with different temperaments are presented in front of their eyes one by one, will Liu Yi feel alive and feel their movingness.

intellectual, dignified, playful, arrogant, dusty, charming, coquettish...... Different women have their own unique personalities, they don't change for external things, they don't change for their current status, and they always maintain the happiness that should be given to them, which is what Liu Yi wants.

Yin Lingshan, Huang Wudie and other women, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, if they all become obedient girls, and they all lower their eyebrows when they see Liu Yi, then what else does it mean?

Maintaining his true colors is the source of Liu Yi's passion. (To be continued.) )
