Every time Xue Chongxun came to Daming Palace, he couldn't help but think of one thing, there were at least more than 10,000 young women living in it, and they were constantly changing. This made him realize the rules of the world, the more people who stand on it, the more resources they can get, and women are also a resource. Those with status and status can get the best youth of many women, and they will lose it when they are tired of playing and are too old. The concubines who have a little idea in the big family will try to save some private money, and when they are abandoned, they can find an honest man to marry...... Bai has a good-looking wife, and there is a lot of dowry, many men are still very willing and happy. The rules of society are so realistic and cold, and some unfounded feelings may be nothing more than a mental game.

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun would feel very happy. Because he thinks that a woman will have a very deep impression of her first man, even if she is finally let down and abandoned, full of hatred, it is difficult to forget that person. So of course he prefers to be the first of them, so that he can possess them both physically and mentally......

As a member of a big family, he didn't feel anything unpleasant, even if he was sometimes forced to marry, he got good things, such as Cheng Ting. Xue Chongxun remembered the way she looked at herself, and couldn't help but sigh, a pure woman is really good.

Mother's move was not big, but it was really thoughtful. In the future, if someone wants to be an enemy of the Taiping, will Cheng Qianli think like this when he is faced with a choice: I have a nepotistic relationship with the people of the Taiping Party, will I be inexplicably liquidated as a relative of the Taiping family and the Xue family in Hedong?

The effect of this psychological tactic on Cheng Qianli will be extra good: the Cheng family is a Guanlong nobleman, and Cheng Wuling and other generals were unjustly killed in the past, because of the political involvement of their relatives, they were suspected of rebellion. The so-called snake was afraid of the grass rope for ten years, and the Cheng family had the previous disaster as a lesson, so Cheng Qianli had to think about it more.

During the days when Xue Chongxun wandered in Chang'an, he felt more and more that the etiquette of loyalty and filial piety became fragile under the actual pros and cons, and everyone was just seeking some benefits through righteousness. Of course, this is just his own thoughts, and the world is different in the eyes of different people, such as Li Shouyi, who definitely doesn't think so.

During this time, the court and outside the court were busy recruiting "athletes", and this matter was the most important thing at present. The military and political system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively perfect, and the decrees under the centralized power could be effectively implemented through various institutions. Xue Chongxun did not participate, he was mainly interacting with Princess Taiping and the prime minister.

Of course, he never forgot his only descendant force: the Flying Tiger Regiment. There are only 200 people in this team, but they are the cards that really belong to Xue Chongxun. Most of the Flying Tigers are from Hedong, and it was Xue Chongxun who personally turned them from white to emperor-eaters, and the social relationship was relatively simple, and only effective loyalty to Xue Chongxun was the only way out. Xue Chongxun's biggest advantage in valuing them is: they are reliable.

Every other three or five days, Xue Chongxun would go to Xuanwumen to drink and chat with the officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment, and the relationship became more and more iron.

A person's energy and time are very limited, even if it is only a team of 200 people, Xue Chongxun cannot have a relationship with each of them, he mainly gets along with several senior generals of the Flying Tiger Regiment, captain Zhang Wulang, brigade commander Bao Cheng, Li Kuiyong and others.

Martial artists are more straightforward and straightforward than civil officials, and they are easier to get along with, but there is also a set of rules between the ranks. Xue Chongxun didn't often mingle in the military, but after paying close attention, he found that although there were many of their small rules, they could be summed up in two words: loyalty.

Although it is a regular army supported by the state's finances, the law is not a panacea, they attach great importance to the so-called righteousness, for example, so-and-so is true to them, they support so-and-so, so Zhang Wulang and other generals often ignore the military law to protect the shortcomings; There is also a word "loyalty", you have to show loyalty, this Bao Cheng did the best, this guy used to be a mixed fold Chongfu, after being the general of the Flying Tiger Regiment, he was simply an old fritter, and many of the rules that his boss Zhang Wulang didn't understand, he understood.

Bao Cheng often uses righteousness to express that he is a loyal and filial son, which Xue Chongxun actually knows for a long time, last time he wanted to abandon the Dong family, in fact, he didn't want to be suspected of being a brother and sister-in-law. However, Xue Chongxun thinks that such a person is very useful, because as long as he has a kind of attachment, he can be used by me with good guidance.

Compared with Bao Cheng, Zhang Wulang seems a little pedantic. Zhang Wulang is a real filial son, and he was born in a Lingnan martial arts family, and he has been brainwashed by the idea of loyalty and filial piety since he was a child, so he seems a little pedantic, right? I heard that his father died early, and his mother loved him very much, and listened to him very much. He was afraid that some bad reputation would spread back to his hometown and make his mother sad...... For example, before he joined the army, his mother told him not to kill women and children, Zhang Wulang never did that kind of thing, it is estimated that if there is a conflict between the military order and his mother's words, the military order is completely floating clouds for him.

After Xue Chongxun understood it, he would never ask Zhang Wulang to do dirty work.

And Li Kuiyong, the commander of the Right Brigade, except for his round head, gave Xue Chongxun's biggest impression that he was illiterate...... But I seem to recognize three words: "one", "two", and "three". If the strokes are too complicated, he will not recognize the character "four". Once Xue Chongxun joked and asked him: "Does Lao Li think that the word '10,000' is 10,000?" ”

Sometimes people in the military don't have any scheming, and they will expose Li Kuiyong's old background, saying that he wanted to study literature when he was a child, but he was too poor to have a chance. "Rich martial arts and poor literature" was out of place in the Tang Dynasty, because the imperial examination system at this time was imperfect, and the people who had no connections and family backgrounds were difficult to figure out how to get ahead in the imperial examination. In dynasties like the Song and Ming dynasties, it is estimated that reading is a good way.

Although Li Kuiyong did not have the opportunity to study, his childhood memories have a great impact on a person's life. This theory was later proved by the psychologist Sigmund Freud. Li Kuiyong did not know how to read, but he admired cultured people very much.

Thinking about it this way, Xue Chongxun finally understood why every time he was poetic, Li Kuiyong would sincerely praise a "good poem".

Xue Chongxun gets along with the warriors very well, and the people in the army are not stupid, and they will try to make a fool of themselves, which makes Xue Chongxun very useful. This martial artist is very different from the literati's sycophants, and they are very particular: when the literati pat the horse in front of the Shangguan, they will not only make the Shangguan happy, but also not reduce their own integrity, otherwise the disgusting sycophants will make his colleagues in the officialdom think that he is an unreliable villain; And the warrior will also pay attention to maintaining his upright image at the same time, otherwise he will win the reputation of a soft egg, and bullying is a very common thing in the army.

During this time, Xue Chongxun was messing around like this, he didn't care about the entanglements in officialdom at all, and just silently managed his existing resources. One is its own armed Flying Tiger Regiment; The second is the connections among the big bureaucrats, most of the big people who hold real power in the DPRK and the central government have a gate valve background, even if they are not from the gate valve background, they also have marriages with many gate valves.

The marriage between the gate valve and the political valve is a mutually beneficial situation, just like Xue Chongxun himself is the gate valve of Hedong, and at least three generations have been married to the Li Tang royal family. The Xue family has received countless benefits such as interests, honors, and status; At the same time, Li Tang also has a social force that has a sense of belonging to his regime, and the Li family can better maintain various influences in Hedong, otherwise who knows what they will do in the far away place of Tiangao Emperor with inconvenient transportation?

Marriage is also a kind of security guarantee, Xue Chongxun's father and uncle were suspected of rebellion and were killed, but the heirs of the Xue family had nothing to do, because their brothers were born to Princess Li Tang. If it weren't for the marriage, the Xue family would be suspected of rebellion, and it is very likely that they would be uprooted and cut off their children and grandchildren.

There are also ministers of the DPRK and China who have been convicted and died, and generally the family will be fine, and there are many friends and relatives who will help, and the emperor can't do it, the relationship is too complicated...... The political struggle in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was not as cruel as that of the later Ming Dynasty, and it was here that after the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by political enemies, it would be put to death.

Xue Chongxun silently manages the relationship in order to survive, and only by integrating into the interest group can he get benefits, and the biggest content of his private life is still shuttling and flowers, and engaging in women is one of his biggest hobbies.

All the women around him are under his control, and only the relationship with one person gives him some headaches: Jin Cheng.

The difficulty is a bit high, if you can marry her as the main room, it is still possible, but unfortunately the opportunity of the main room is given to the political union. Now he can only take a concubine, but Jin Cheng is the biological daughter of the current emperor, so he wants to be a concubine with a foreign surname? This kind of fact is damaging the royal face, although Brother Fen is just a puppet, he is the face of the Li family, and the real power, Princess Taiping, is also surnamed Li, and the Li Tang clan will never allow this kind of thing to happen...... Otherwise, where is the dignity of the royal family? Where is the prestige?

Xue Chongxun himself couldn't let go, as a womanizer, how could he be willing to give up a beautiful woman who fell into the country? If anyone can say that the country is alluring, it is not that all the cities in the world have been destroyed by women......

Once Xue Chongxun saw Jincheng on the side of the Taiarmpit Pond again, Yiren was full of lust, and there was resentment in his eyes, which made Xue Chongxun's soul unwilling, and his heart was simply broken.

Women who can make people's hearts move generally have only one or a few advantages, some because of their cute faces, some breasts are very sexy, some have beautiful legs, some are very temperamental, and some are very wise...... And the things on Jincheng's body made Xue Chongxun very excited from the inside out.

Thinking that people gave him all the underwear he had worn, Xue Chongxun couldn't help himself...... Now that he saw her, he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch from afar. There was only eye contact between the two of them, not even a greeting, not even a courtesy......

She disappeared into the shimmering colors of the Tai Armpit Pool, leaving Xue Chongxun standing in place in a daze. Suddenly, he found himself paying attention to all things in nature that he had not paid attention to before, the slowly flowing water, the gently swaying willow branches...... They seem to interpret an emotion, like poetry, always lyrical in the scene...... G
