On the bed, just after a burst of clouds and rain, Shi Bufan held Dugu Daxue, who was still drenched in sweat, on the bed, and Duguchun next to him was responsible for serving beside him. And after Dugu Daxue, who had just finished from the peak of the man-making movement, eased his afterglow, he actually took the initiative to ask about Shi Bufan.

"Listen to Chun'er, today you go to question Li Wanrou, she still has contact with General Xue Wanche?" Dugu Daxue asked.

Shi Bufan replied: "Yes, she still has some contact with General Xue Wanche, but she hopes that General Xue Wanche will help find out where Li Jiancheng is, and she hopes to pick it up." ”

"In this way, it is very dangerous, if Li Jiancheng is allowed to come out, the consequences will be unimaginable." Dugu Daxue hurriedly said.

Of course, Dugu Daxue knew how much turmoil it would bring if Li Jiancheng came out, so of course he was afraid.

"Husband, it's better to give this Li Wanrou to ......" Dugu Daxue asked tentatively, the meaning was very obvious, that is, not to leave this Li Wanrou.

"Forget it, this Li Wanrou's request is actually not too much in essence, she just wants a family reunion. Anyway, she couldn't make anything out of our house. I don't think General Xue Wanche would be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing for her. General Xue Wanche is not a fool, of course he should know that if he continues to be involved in this matter too much, it will be no good for me, for Li Wanrou, for Li Wanshun, for Xue Wanche, and even for Li Jiancheng. At this time, don't continue to stimulate the emperor, it was not easy to save the lives of Li Jiancheng and his children, if you continue to stimulate the emperor's sensitivities, then not only will this not help them, but will force the emperor to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. So don't be stimulated, General Xue Wanche won't not understand this truth, I'm not worried. So this is just Li Wanrou's wishful thinking. Shi Bufan said.

Since Shi Bufan has made a decision, it is naturally difficult for Dugu Daxue to say anything. However, Shi Bufan suddenly remembered something again.

"Daxue, can you tell me about Concubine Yan and Concubine Yin?" Shi Bufan asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Dugu Daxue asked.

"It's okay, you tell me, I seem to feel that the court is a little abnormal recently, I suspect that the harem is reflected!" Shi Bufan said.

During the Tang Dynasty, the former dynasty and the harem were not absolutely separated, but rather a relationship of mutual mapping. The struggles of the previous dynasty will affect the concubines, but some of the struggles among the concubines are also a "mapping" of the power games of all parties in the court. The harem during the Tang Dynasty was very serious, in fact, this is not because the concubine's desire for power is too strong, in fact, from a certain point of view, it is actually the "system problem" of the harem of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty relied on marriage as a means and on marriages with various forces to strengthen imperial power. The more you rely on marriage, the more serious the harem interference will inevitably be. This is not something that can be easily explained by the personal character of the concubine, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, emperors often relied on marriage to maintain their rule. However, although marriage can maintain the rule, it will also provide convenience for all parties to penetrate into the court.

The former dynasty and the harem of the Tang Dynasty were closely linked, even to the point of direct and upright exchanges. The harem and the former dynasty are an inseparable whole, not as isolated as most people think. The status of the emperor's concubine is affected by multiple factors. Not only is it the emperor's favor, but also the status of the same family, and the concubine's personal means and abilities are a comprehensive consideration. Even many concubines have their own political groups behind them.

Although all dynasties said that Empress Changsun was a virtuous queen, she never interfered in government affairs and did not let the harem interfere in politics, so the harem in the Zhenguan period was the most "harmonious". But Shi Bufan's evaluation of this is also a "nonsense". The meaning of the existence of the concubine of the Tang Dynasty is full of political factors, even if she personally does not say anything about politics and does not take the initiative to interfere in politics, but the meaning of his existence is already politics. He is naturally already involved in politics, and you reluctantly say that he does not interfere in politics, isn't that nonsense?

The so-called "non-interference in politics" of the concubines in the Li Shimin era is just that the politics are not as "explicit" as in the middle of the later Tang Dynasty. The harem politics of the Tang Dynasty was actually a "system problem", which could not be simply attributed to the personal power and ambition of the concubine. The harem system of the Tang Dynasty was already for the service of politics, so expecting the concubines under this system not to interfere in politics would simply make the wolf not eat meat!

"Concubine Yan, I remember that she was born in a northern Jiangmen family. However, my Datang is still using the Guanzhong standard, giving priority to the people of Guanlong, and then using the people of Shandong, while the southern wealthy families occasionally use some, but there are very few people in Hebei. ”

Shi Bufan hurriedly asked: "Isn't it that Concubine Yan is in the imperial court and does not have a 'group' as support?" ”

"Yes!" Dugu Daxue replied.

Shi Bufan began to analyze the source of Li Shimin's concubines, Empress Changsun is the wife, the queen of course, the biggest advantage of this traditional Confucian patriarchal system, as long as Empress Changsun does not enter the water to take the initiative to make mistakes, it will not be abolished. No matter how popular those other power groups are, they don't dare to deny this Confucian patriarchal system, because their family is also built on the patriarchal system, and they deny the eldest grandson Empress is denying themselves.

As for the concubines of the four "Yipin", Wei Qiwei Guifei is from the Guanlong Group, as for Concubine Gao Huitong is supported by the Shandong Shi Group, and Concubine Yan is from the north. As for the Yin Concubine, then this Yin Concubine's status is more embarrassing, because his elders have a grudge against the Li family!

In fact, there are many factors that affect the position of these four concubines, and these four concubines occupy the "first-mover advantage", which is actually the earliest to follow Li Shimin, and the earliest to follow Li Shimin to naturally gain the greatest advantage. The first entry is the greatest, this is not a virtual thing, it is a real tradition. Although China allowed men to take more concubines in ancient times, it also established some ethics and morals to a certain extent, and safeguarded the status and interests of women to a certain extent.

This is a very important rule, even if the status is the same, the first to enter is higher than the last to enter. There is also an ancient Chinese tradition that a wife of chaff should not be abandoned. Therefore, even if Li Shimin becomes the emperor, the first few concubines who followed him will naturally rise and have a natural "first-mover advantage". No matter how high the background conditions of the latecomers are, it is difficult to directly surpass them to obtain a higher status.

In this way, it is like many later emperors, many emperors have "empty" harems when they are young, and the concubines who have just arrived often have a high starting point at the beginning. But when the emperor is old, those concubines are also old, and the emperor likes the new and hates the old, but he has to face a problem, those old concubines have not made mistakes, and you can't directly "demote" them. If you don't make a mistake, you can't be demoted casually, even if it's a concubine. Can the emperor make it clear that you are old, I don't like you anymore, don't let me occupy the pit and not? This is obviously impossible, which emperor would dare to say that? If he dares to say this, he will inevitably lose the hearts of the people in the world.

Everyone has the day when they are old, the old and the old, and the same is true of those concubines. The concubine didn't make a mistake, she couldn't be demoted casually, and the emperor couldn't do anything. In this way, the first few concubines who followed Li Shimin have a natural advantage, and they directly obtain the position of concubines of the first product.

"However, Concubine Yan is from Hebei, and Concubine Yin is from Wuwei, Gansu. Gansu, that is, Long, belongs to the people of the Guanlong Group. Although Concubine Yin's elder Yin Shishi has a grudge against the Li family, he can't deny that he is a member of the Guanlong Group. The insiders of the Guanlong Group, no matter how unfavorable, are still hanging on the identity of the Guanlong Group. ”

"In this way, the Guanlong Group has three places in Li Shimin's harem: Empress Changsun, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Yin, and those who have normal utility are Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei. As for Shandong, that is Gao Shufei Gao Huitong. In the end, Concubine Yan was the most unlucky, there was no power group behind him to support her, which means that on the surface, although the status of the unfavored Concubine Yin is the most suspenseful, in fact, Concubine Yin is a member of the Guanlong Group, and her status is still relatively stable. But Concubine Yan is completely empty, it is suspended, there is no direct support, and it may fall down at any time. ”

"In this way, if Zheng Liwan, who also represents the Xingyang Zheng family of the Shandong Shi clan, enters the harem as Chonghua, it is only one step away from the position of the fourth concubine. That is equivalent to increasing the share of the harem of the Shandong scholars, as long as you work hard, it is equivalent to stuffing the Shandong scholars into the four concubines, and the Shandong scholars also have two places. ”

"However, the 'establishment' of the concubines of the Tang Dynasty is also determined, and it cannot be increased or decreased at will. According to the rules, the number of such concubines is generally only reduced, and it is difficult to increase it casually. If you want to go up one, you have to pull one down. So among the four first-class concubines, which one is the most 'soft' persimmon? ”

"However, it seems that there is no one in Li Shimin's harem from the Hedong Shi clan! If there is no one in Li Shimin's harem, it is equivalent to a decrease in influence. Wei Zheng is the spokesperson of the Pei family of the Hedong Shi clan, but Wei Zheng is a native of Julu, Hebei. Concubine Yan is also from Hebei, and the relationship between Hebei and Hedong seems to be not far away. ”

"Oh? I think I understand why Wei Zheng fought hard to prevent Zheng Liwan from entering the palace, it turned out that there may be such a plan, it turned out that the front and the harem worked together, which made Zheng Liwan a political victim! ”

"I see!"

Seeing Shi Bufan fell into deep thought, Dugu Daxue was also puzzled: "Husband, what are you thinking?" ”

"Heavy snow, maybe something interesting will happen next. If after a while, Empress Changsun wants to choose a concubine for the emperor, you pay attention, if there is a woman named Zheng Liwan who will be arranged to enter the palace, you strive to complete the formalities, the sooner the better. Don't delay, if there's anything out of place, you'll just turn a blind eye. Even if you find any flaws in it, don't worry too much about it, just pass it. Shi Bufan said.

"Why? What exactly do you want to do? Dugu Daxue asked.

"It's okay, I have some ideas, I think this is a game that leaves a slight rift within the Shandong Shi clan." Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan had an idea, that is, to calculate the Shandong Shi clan, so that there would be some small cracks within the Shandong Shi clan. Although the rift may not be very large, the rift will always be a rift, and it will not affect it on the surface, but one day it will erupt and cause a catastrophe. Therefore, Shi Bufan felt that this matter could be used, and since this was the case, Bufan also used his advantage of being familiar with history to bury mines for the Shandong Shi clan. Although the power of this thunder may not be great, as long as a crack is blown out, it is enough to give him a lot of benefits.

"You mean, the Shandong Shi clan wants me to treat Concubine Yan?" Dugu Daxue hurriedly asked.

Shi Bufan smiled and said: "The Buddha said, don't say it!" ”

"Hey, Concubine Yan is really unlucky, she just gave birth to a son for the emperor, but now she is about to be calculated again. Concubine Yan doesn't have many friends in the harem, and she doesn't have much support from her family in the court, so I think this may be a bit troublesome. Dugu Daxue said.

Shi Bufan corrected and said: "Daxue, we don't care about the fate of this Yan concubine, but what I want to pay attention to now is that the Shandong Shi clan wants to send Zheng Liwan into the palace, so although I can't stop it directly, but I can dig a pit on their way forward and let them fall into a mess." ”

"When the time comes, there will also be rifts within the Shandong Shi clan in the future, although it looks like nothing on the outside, but it will break out one day."

"But you do this, don't you...... I'm a little worried! Dugu Daxue said.

Dugu Daxue's is also very obvious, Shi Bufan's "hand" is too long, and it actually reached into Li Shimin's harem, meddling in the affairs of the harem and interfering in the affairs of the harem, which is a taboo for the king.

However, Shi Bufan was not worried, and said: "Could it be that other scholars have very 'short' hands? Therefore, if the monk touches it, I can't get it! Heavy snow, now you don't have to worry about anything, and you are directly responsible for giving me a baby! ”

After Shi Bufan finished speaking, he immediately hurriedly pounced on Dugu Daxue's snow-white body again, and then began to "score two goals".

Shi Bufan also hopes that Dugu Daxue can "create a person" for him, so as to strive to create the first "sister-in-law", which will help him stabilize his family status in the future. If there is no son-in-law for a long time, it will inevitably cause the family status to be relatively unstable, which is not conducive to the stability of the family. Therefore, the most important thing is to "create" a son-in-law as soon as possible. Whether it's royal or in a personal family, that's actually a lot of the same.
