Hearing that Dugu Shanggong wanted to see him, this made Shi Bufan dare not slack off, because he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke this Dugu Shanggong. Maybe many people don't know what the position of this Shang Gong is, and even many people only know the word Shang Gong based on Korean costume dramas. But in fact, the official position of Shanggong was also available as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even the influence was not small. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were three sets of teams in charge of the emperor's domestic affairs, one of which was the inner service province dominated by eunuchs, and those internal service provinces were mainly eunuchs. And the other set of teams is called Dianzhong Province, and Dianzhong Province is actually responsible for palace affairs, but the officials of Dianzhong Province are not eunuchs, but they are all normal people, and they are all normal pure masters.

As for the third team, that is, the team of female officers. And these three types of people are called eunuchs, and eunuchs are not all eunuchs. The history of eunuchs began in the Zhou Dynasty, but in fact, in the Qin and Han dynasties, eunuchs were not necessarily all eunuchs. During the Qin Dynasty, eunuchs were not popular. Many people subconsciously think that Zhao Gao is a eunuch, and he must be a eunuch. In fact, not necessarily, Zhao Gao, who is famous in history, may not be a eunuch, because not all the eunuchs at that time were eunuchs, but non-eunuchs accounted for the majority. In the Western Han Dynasty, the eunuchs in the court were about half of the eunuchs and scholars, and the supreme leader in charge of court affairs, Da Changqiu, could be served by eunuchs and scholars, so the Western Han Dynasty was not all eunuchs.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were completely used as eunuchs. However, in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, non-eunuch eunuchs rose again. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, eunuch eunuchs and non-eunuch eunuchs, as well as female eunuchs, had formed different institutions to manage and lead separately. The eunuchs were mainly concentrated in the Inner Servant Province and were managed by the Inner Servant Province. The non-eunuchs are mainly in the palace province, and as for the female officials, they are assigned in the yamen of the six monks in the north. Among the six Shangs, the Shanggong Bureau has the highest status and is the leading department of the Six Shangs. Although they have the same rank and status as other yamen, their relationship is like that of the Ming Dynasty's celebrant and other internal officials, although the ceremonial supervisor has the same legal status, but it is the department that leads everyone.

And when he heard that Dugu Shanggong wanted to see him, Shi Bufan certainly didn't dare to slack off. You must know that Shang Gong is a fifth-grade official, although he is a female official, but he is not comparable to his own nine-grade sesame function. So Shi Bufan immediately prepared and followed some eunuchs into the back. Palace.

As for the foreign ministers entering the harem, this was actually not a strange thing in the Tang Dynasty. Because the emperor of the Tang Dynasty often summoned some cronies and ministers to discuss things in the Liangyi Palace, and the Liangyi Palace was an out-and-out harem area. Moreover, there were many customs of the Hu people during the Tang Dynasty, and the palace ban system was not as perverted as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. The palace ban system became more and more perverted, and it really reached its peak after the Ming and Qing dynasties. The palace ban system during the Tang Dynasty was not so perverted and strict, and even during the Tang Xuanzong period, Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong quarreled, and left the palace directly to live in their private residence for a few days without returning to the palace. This shows that the palace ban system during the Tang Dynasty was not so perverted, and the harem was not an absolute forbidden place for foreign ministers. As long as someone leads and the emperor summons you, it is not an uncommon time to enter the harem. Even the concubine can come out on her own, so you can imagine how relaxed the palace ban system is. Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of such a relaxed palace ban system that the Tang Dynasty has a saying of "Tang tortoise".

Shi Bufan looked at such a loose palace ban system, although he was worried about the color of the Tang Emperor's hat, but he did not forget to satirize those later dynasties.

"Nima, those later dynasties made the palace ban system so perverted one by one, from the emperor to the ordinary people, they all regarded preventing being cuckolded as the first priority. These guys, tossing and turning, and finally tossing on their own women. You don't have the ability to toss the enemy, you don't have the ability to expand the territory, but you actually put all this energy and thought into this kind of thing to prevent cuckolding, what kind of people have what kind of country. What does a country that dwells all day long on such trifles expect him to do? Shi Bufan thought.

Although the Tang Dynasty had the saying of the Tang tortoise, it was undeniably the most open and atmospheric era in ancient China. There is no closed mind, and the ruler is not open-minded than the average person can imagine. As for the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, those rulers spent all day long trying to avoid being cuckolded, which was really brain-dead.

Although it's right to find a way to avoid being cuckolded, but because of the fear of being cuckolded, I spend most of my energy on this kind of tossing women, how narrow-minded it is! In order to prevent being cuckolded, he came up with some kind of foot binding and all kinds of science, and in the end, he made his entire country and nation narrow-minded. can't toss the enemy, but instead uses his mind to toss his own woman, what kind of atmosphere can this guy become? Although cuckolding is not good, you can't waste food because of choking, and you are afraid that cuckolds will put too much energy into it, right?

Without a big heart, you can't really create a great country. Struggling with these things, what great things can this ruler be expected to create?

"I've seen Dugu Shanggong!" Shi Bufan took the initiative to salute and said.

And that Dugu Shanggong said directly and lightly: "Shixiao Shulang, please take a seat!" ”

Shi Bufan took the initiative to sit down, and then Shi Bufan saw this Dugu Shang Palace, this Dugu Shang Palace was obviously about twenty years old. And this makes Shi Bufan very depressed, he is already a fifth-grade official at the age of twenty, and he is afraid that he will be at least a ministerial-level cadre in the future. Of course, this is because the civil power of the Tang Dynasty was relatively large, and the power of the central five-grade officials was almost equal to a department in later generations. And he is just a nine-grade sesame official, and he is so tall about two years older than him, which makes Shi Bufan quite depressed.

This Dugu Shanggong is also a beauty, with fair skin, and a gentle temperament, and there is also a bit of aura on his body, it seems that because he became a leader, he naturally has an aura. However, among the palace maids in the Tang Dynasty, there may also be some palace maids who will become the emperor's concubines. In ancient times, the endings of these palace maids were nothing more than several, one of the luckiest, that is, they were favored by the emperor, and then became concubines. And secondly, they were rewarded to the royal family or ministers, and they were the concubines of those royal families or officials. However, Fang Xuanling's jealous allusion has been passed down through the ages. There is another kind, that is, serving a certain princess since childhood, and finally when the princess gets married, she can marry the concubine as the princess's dowry maid. Don't think that a horse can't take a concubine, a horse can't take a concubine, it's only in the Ming Dynasty, and horses from other dynasties can take a concubine.

But ordinary palace maids are better, but the fate of those female officials is the saddest. Because on the one hand, they are female officials, and they are official officials in the imperial court, and they are no longer ordinary palace maids. Even if the emperor wants to reward the palace maid to others, it is impossible to reward the female official to others. And when they talk about power, there are some of them, but they are female officials, which makes them high or low. Why should a man of high status choose them, after all, no one wants a woman of high status to come home. And the status is low-key, and they can't look down on it, which is embarrassing. This is similar to those leftover women in later generations, men with high status look down on them, but they don't look down on men with low status. The so-called no one can look down on anyone, and no one can look down on it, that's the truth. So these female officials are the most embarrassing.

"May I ask Dugu Shanggong, what is the important thing you asked me to do?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Shanggong then asked: "Shixiao Shulang, I heard that you have a lot of experience in education?" And erudite, from the art of war to Confucianism, and even painting? ”

"Well, I understand a little!" Shi Bufan said modestly, of course he can't brag!

Dugu Shanggong then replied with a smile: "Shixiao Shulang doesn't need to be modest, General Li Jing took the initiative to listen to the class, and you also got Bachelor Kong Yingda to go to the field in person, and took the initiative to study your 'Xinxue', this is not something that can be explained with a little understanding!" Moreover, Shi Xiaoshulang is also quite researched in teaching and educating people. Not only is it proposed to teach according to their age, but they can also teach according to their interests and gender, so that the students of Shubunkan can learn much faster. And the teaching method of Shi Xiao Shulang, many people are very satisfied! ”

"Oops, looks like I'm going to be careful!" Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan knows that if a person with a low status touts a person with a high status, it may be just for the sake of sycophancy, and people with high status may not necessarily take it seriously. But if the people in the higher places tout the people of much lower status, the people of the lower status should be careful. People with high status tout you, a person with low status, is probably nothing more than a few reasons. The first one, that is, I have a crush on something, and I want to take it from your hand. Or the second reason, that is, to fool and sell your life!

Whether it's something that falls in love with you, or tricks you into selling your life, you have to be careful. Because people have a higher status than you, but they all like your things, it means that this thing is special, and even a person with a high status like him can't get it. And this thing is often very cherished to you, not an ordinary commodity, so be careful. As for fooling you into selling your life, the same is true. Isn't it very tricky for people to have a higher status than you, but they can't even do it, but they fool you into selling your life? Whatever the reason, you have to be careful!

"May I ask Dugu Shanggong, what do you ask for? If Dugu Shanggong needs it, I will try my best to help you do it! Shi Bufan said.

Dugu Shanggong said lightly: "Actually, there is nothing to do, and it is very simple. My father, that is, the general of the left guard, Dugu Kaiyuan, heard that you are a good disciple, so I hope to send my younger brother to study with Shixiao Shulang. Moreover, not only my father had this idea, but many officials of the imperial court also had this idea. So they found Wan Guifei through his wife. And Concubine Wan also told me about this matter, but after all, this is a matter of the Xiuwen Pavilion, and it is not suitable for our harem to intervene directly. So, I would like to ask you, did you promise to accept more children? ”

Shi Bufan thought it was a big deal, didn't he just want to stuff a few more children over, so Shi Bufan didn't think it was a big deal. In many famous schools in later generations, it is also very common for those who have money, power and connections to stuff their children into those key schools. Anyway, everyone is also eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers, and they can be plugged. And this Xiuwen Hall is actually a primary school opened by the Tang Dynasty, which is specially for the royal family and those children under the age of twelve and over six or seven years old to come in and study. This is all normal, anyway, the people of the fortress are not qualified to manage it themselves.

Shi Bufan only has the obligation to teach, and does not have the right to decide whether others will let students in. Anyway, as long as you get through the royal relationship, isn't it logical to send it in to study? So of course Shi Bufan wouldn't refuse by himself, although he was now the only teacher in the Xiuwen Pavilion, it was not easy for him to refuse this kind of thing. In particular, it is also beneficial to teach more children. You must know that the identities of these children's parents are different, either they are members of the royal family, or they are also members of the imperial court, or even princesses of the royal family, so teaching their children by themselves can be regarded as a closer relationship.

Even these little children are the successors of Datang in the future, and the powerful people of Datang in the future, so if they can become their teachers, they will be of infinite use in the future. In ancient times, teachers were second only to parents! Heaven and earth are too empty, the king is too far away, and the relatives and masters are the highest people in fact. So in ancient times, no one dared not respect teachers, not even emperors. So he became their teacher, and his students in the future became the magnates of Datang.

At that time, I was counting on these students to raise them.

"Okay, since you agreed, then I won't say much, tomorrow those children will come, you have to teach well! In the future, I will leave the teaching of those children to you. Dugu Shanggong said.

"Okay, no problem!" Shi Bufan replied.

After Shi Bufan left the harem, he complained: "No wonder a woman, at a young age, has become the Wupin Shang Palace of the palace." It turned out to be the second generation of the emperor's relatives and officials, Li Yuan's distant cousin niece, and Li Jiancheng's cousin Li Shimin. In addition, his father is the general of the Tang Dynasty Sanpin Zuowei, if there is no such relationship, then I am afraid it is impossible to become a Wupin Shanggong at a young age! It seems that during this Tang Dynasty period, spelling dad was more serious than later generations! ”
