Chapter 35 The people in the palace really know how to play
Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue went home, but this Qin Jiarui stayed in Qin's house and did not follow Shi Bufan home. However, Qin Jiarui's mind was also fast enough, and he immediately thought of how to deal with the relationship between them. Qin Jiarui is an extraordinary "Sister Qi", so she is not afraid of the distinction between a wife and a concubine. Anyway, Qin Jiarui is the extraordinary Sister Qi, so what can Dugu Daxue do in the future? Can you still use this as an excuse to drink at your husband's sister? So this can avoid the pressure of the so-called identity, and even if Dugu Daxue is Dugu Kaiyuan's daughter, Datang Wupin Shanggong, but what can it be? Could it be that Dugu Daxue can still use his power to bring down Qin Jiarui? Let's not talk about whether she has the power or not, if she really dares to do this, then she will really fall out with Shi Bufan in the future.
This marriage book not only limited Shi Bufan, but also limited Dugu Daxue. Dugu Daxue can only marry Shi Bufan, so Dugu Daxue doesn't want to fall out with Shi Bufan for these bad things, if you fall out with Shi Bufan for these bad things, then how can you live together in this life in the future? So Dugu Daxue has a lot of scruples, so it's hard to say anything. As for Qin Jiarui's extraordinary so-called "Sister Qi", everyone knows what the relationship is. However, this avoids the control of the ancient patriarchal system, and Qin Jiarui will not be treated like a slave, even in terms of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it is freedom.
"Daxue, you are doing this Shang Palace in the palace, do you have ......" Shi Bufan asked with some hesitation, obviously not very easy to say.
Because Shi Bufan is also very hesitant, since this Dugu Daxue is the Shang Palace in the palace, it should be very close to the emperor and many royal families, and even work in the harem. Will this be caught by Emperor Li Yuan, that ......
So Shi Bufan was worried that he was not married yet, so he was first put on a green hat. Although this Dugu Daxue was given to him to marry, Shi Bufan was also a little worried about whether he would be played by the people in the palace? What a repercussion it would be if that were the case! If it's just a lover, then it probably doesn't matter. But if you want to marry home and be a wife, then if you have had a relationship with someone else beforehand, I am afraid how unhappy it will be. Even if it was forcibly stuffed to himself, at that time, he wanted to be pure and not touched by other men!
"Nope! The emperor is still very restrained in this regard, and he will definitely not mess with the palace maids and officials around him! Besides, my junior is his junior, and he will have nothing to do with me. After all, he is the king of a country, so naturally it is impossible for him to do such a thing, not to mention that he is not that good. People who are so lustful that they don't care about anything. Dugu Daxue replied.
After hearing this, Shi Bufan was also relieved, and Shi Bufan also recognized the statement of Dugu Daxue. Because maybe future generations only remember Li Shimin, and not too many people remember Li Yuan. But no matter how Li Yuan is, he is also the founder of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to be a parallel import. Although the history of later generations was tossed by Li Shimin to a certain extent with the "Spring and Autumn Brushwork", the exploits of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were also diluted a lot. But if Li Yuan is a parallel import, then he can't have the identity of entering.
The vast majority of successful people with lofty ambitions have strong perseverance and the ability to resist temptation, and resisting the temptation of women is definitely a very important perseverance. So Li Yuan will not be the kind of person who will casually mess around regardless of his identity and influence if he can't walk the road when he sees a woman, plus Dugu Daxue is his junior in terms of seniority, so he doesn't dare to mess around. The ancient nobles attached great importance to this generation, especially the etiquette and morality in the early Tang Dynasty were relatively complete. As for what to say about the Tang tortoise, that is also after the middle term. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, if the emperor had an affair with his juniors, it would definitely be a very huge court political scandal. Li Yuan wouldn't be this kind of fool who cares about the influence and messes around casually when he sees a woman, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Shi Bufan was relieved, he would not have been officially married, and a green hat would have fallen off.
"Then has the emperor removed you from the post of Shang Palace?" Shi Bufan asked.
Dugu Daxue replied: "No, I am still the Tang Shang Palace." ”
"Why? Since you have been given marriage, then why ......" Shi Bufan is still a little hesitant, obviously his wife works in other people's harems, can you rest assured?
Dugu Daxue smiled bitterly and said, "I know too much! ”
"From the time Datang started his business, to the later days, I also knew too much about everything, so the emperor would not let me easily cut off contact. I'm afraid that I will not be able to dismiss this Shanggong in my life, in fact, I can be married, in fact, it is already a very great grace, if it is in the past, maybe a female official of my status will not be able to get married for the rest of my life. Dugu Daxue also replied.
Dugu Daxue knew that she could actually be given marriage, and in a sense, it was also Emperor Li Yuan's "grace" to her, because since she set up a female official since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, she had hardly heard of being able to marry other men. Of course, some may be directly related to the emperor, but since Dugu Daxue is Li Yuan's relative and junior, Li Yuan naturally has nothing to do with her.
But the problem also comes, Li Yuan can't have anything to do with Dugu Daxue for the sake of his reputation, so if nothing else, Dugu Daxue may not be able to have a man in this life. Therefore, Li Yuan gave Dugu Daxue to marry other men, which can also be regarded as a "grace" to Dugu Daxue and a reward for her. However, even so, Dugu Daxue may not be able to get rid of the control of this palace, especially if she doesn't want to relieve this Shang Palace, not because of something else, that is, that sentence - knows too much.
Shi Bufan nodded, and then said, "I think I understand!" ”
There is no dirtier industry in the world than politics, and the core of ancient politics was in the court, so the court is perhaps the dirtiest place. Women who serve in the court, especially female officials of a certain rank, are exposed to the dirtiness of politics. A middle-level female official in this kind of court is actually the most embarrassing. The low-level palace maids may not be able to get in touch with too much of the squalor of high-level politics because of their positional level. But these female officials are different, and they also have the right to say that they also have it, so they are all easily exposed to the dirty side of politics.
However, in order to maintain the "face" of the imperial family and the court, the emperor must erect those so-called tall and magnificent images, and naturally it is impossible for those who know too much to completely leave his control. Therefore, these female officials may not be able to completely get rid of the relationship with the court in their lifetime, even if they have no personal relationship with the emperor, but it is impossible to let them out of control easily. Just like many agents, even after retiring, I am afraid that they will not be able to retire completely and safely, and they will inevitably be controlled to a certain extent. So this situation is not unusual, people who know too many secrets cannot be completely free. This is not about the face of the so-called emperor, but about the need to keep secrets.
Dugu Daxue was a little surprised, but Shi Bufan actually "understood". Originally, Dugu Daxue thought that he had to go to great lengths to explain, after all, Dugu Daxue also felt troublesome, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the shackles of the palace, because he knew too much. But Dugu Daxue is also worried, in case this Shi Bufan is a person who doesn't understand and doesn't want his wife to serve in the Tang Dynasty harem for a long time, then Dugu Daxue is really angry at both ends. She knew too much, and no emperor would easily let her out of control. But this is not because the emperor has any concern for her, but simply out of secrecy.
Therefore, it is impossible for Dugu Daxue to resign, and it is impossible to be removed from her position, this position is also an important means for the court to restrain her, and she is afraid that she will die. But Dugu Daxue is also afraid that her husband will not understand, and this is what makes him embarrassed. Dugu Daxue also understands that maybe any man doesn't want his woman to serve in the palace for a long time, after all, there are a lot of embarrassments here. Dugu Daxue was afraid that Shi Bufan had misunderstood, and had already planned to think of many ways to explain. Dugu Daxue thought that Shi Bufan was from a low-level family, so she might not know about the bad things in the court, but she didn't expect that Shi Bufan would quickly "understand", which surprised her.
"I also knew some of those bad things back then, it was nothing more than that the emperor didn't establish the idea of opposing Sui back then, and was united by King Qin, the crown prince and Pei Lian, and finally had to make up his mind to raise troops?" Shi Bufan said.
Dugu Daxue exclaimed: "How do you know? Not many people know about this! ”
"You don't care how I know, I know a lot about the so-called secrets of these courts. History cannot be covered up forever, and it may be a secret now, but in more than a thousand years, it will not be a secret. History may be able to cover up a year or two, or ten or eight years, or even a dynasty. But one day someone will dig it up, and nothing can be completely covered up, I am convinced of this. Shi Bufan said.
But Dugu Daxue immediately said: "Don't say these things, otherwise you may be in trouble." You know why I can't get out of the control of the court, right? ”
"Got it!" Shi Bufan replied.
Of course Shi Bufan understands, and if you don't understand, you have to understand! For the sake of secrecy, of course, it is impossible to release this Dugu Daxue casually, if there is no backhand, then I am afraid that the secrets in the palace will not be able to be kept. I'm afraid that this is the case in any country, especially those who have served around the leader, and it is even more important to be careful that they leak secrets at all times, and it is normal to have some means of control.
"The emperor can allow me to come out and get married, which is actually very good, and it is already a grace to me. So I have no way to refuse, and I don't have the right to refuse, because I know that this may be the only chance in my life that I will have the opportunity to marry a man, so I am not qualified to pick and choose, so I did not refuse! Dugu Daxue replied.
Dugu Daxue did not refuse to marry Shi Bufan this time, in fact, it was because Li Yuan was finally gracious this time and could allow her to marry, so she naturally had to seize the opportunity. In fact, Li Yuan's family also has a lot of relatives, but why is it Dugu Daxue's turn to marry Shi Bufan? In fact, it is nothing more than Li Yuan is considered for many reasons, not only because he wants to be typical, but also because he has a little bit of "rewarding" Dugu Daxue. Although Dugu Daxue knows too many secrets, she is Dugu Kaiyuan's daughter after all, and she also has to consider Dugu Kaiyuan's idea. Therefore, Li Yuan gave Dugu Daxue to Shi Bufan for marriage, which was also the idea of calming down Dugu Kaiyuan and Dugu Daxue. Originally, it was almost impossible for this kind of Shang Palace to go out of the palace to marry someone, but Li Yuan was so "gracious", it was already good, and Dugu Daxue had to seize the opportunity. If she refuses, then maybe she will never have a chance to get married in her life. So although Dugu Daxue didn't talk about liking and love for Shi Bufan, she had to marry Shi Bufan because she had no choice at all. If she refuses, she will not only lose everything she has now, but may also make herself "destined to be lonely for a lifetime". Neither men nor women would want to be "orphaned". Therefore, without wanting to "note the lonely life", Dugu Daxue chose to agree to "marry", and became the extraordinary wife of the nine-rank petty official as a five-grade Shanggong, and she had no ability to choose at all.
"Well, in that case, I have no objection to you continuing to serve in the palace. But I hope you can tell me about the things in the palace, so that I can have news in advance! Shi Bufan said.
Dugu Daxue nodded and said, "Okay, if something happens in the palace, then I can tell you in advance as much as possible." I guess that's enough to keep you off the hook, right? ”
In fact, things can be divided into two, and someone helps you inquire about the news in the court, but it is not necessarily a bad thing! Since ancient times, many people have wanted to install their own people in the palace, and this can also get news. The news in the palace represents the future political trend, so if you can know the news in advance and prepare in advance, it is also a very good way. Therefore, if Dugu Daxue can stay in the palace and continue to serve as the Shang Palace, it may not be a bad thing, and he may be able to know a lot of valuable news in advance!
Next, Dugu Daxue told Shi Bufan a lot of secret history in the court, and then Shi Bufan combined the historical knowledge he learned from later generations, and finally he came to a conclusion.
"I'll rub it, the people in the palace really know how to play!" Shi Bufan complained.
