"Lord Wang, after you send these palace maids and eunuchs in the palace away, do you still want to recruit some palace maids and eunuchs? At present, in the capital, your daily life is in charge of these staff officers in our chamberlain. However, we, the big men, let us be responsible in wartime, but if you enter this Forbidden City in the future, Lord Wang, then we soldiers Qiu Ba are not suitable to continue to be in charge of your life. So, some of the people who serve must have it. Moreover, the ladies of Lord Wang, don't you arrange for some people to serve? According to the rules of the Manchu court, there should be seven or eight palace maids who serve a concubine. And there are many people who do other things, don't you need some palace maids and eunuchs? Li Zhanfeng, the director of the chamberlain, asked.

Wang Guorui nodded and said, "Yes, there should be some people to serve." However, as for why you have to be castrated before you become a eunuch, this is not necessary. In the future, most of the normal men will serve in the front court, and some women will be needed in the living quarters in the rear. ”

Wang Guorui asked those male servants to serve in the first half of the office area, and these people would not be eunuchs. Wang Guorui always believed that eunuchs were very inhumane, and even if he became emperor, he would inevitably abolish these rules. However, of course, it is also to avoid some problems in the future after him. The palace must still be served exclusively by the palace maids. Unless there is something special, such as carrying heavy objects and other things, the palace maid can't do it, and the history can let those people from the previous dynasty be responsible for helping, but that is only limited to helping, not doing things here for a long time. And the future post. The palace is still dominated by palace maids.

"These maids and valets, I think the contract system can be adopted. Each time an employment contract is signed, it is about three or five years. In principle, there will be no long-term contracts. Generally speaking, three to five years is the maximum time limit, and it will definitely be sent out after the service is completed, and it will not be retained for a long time. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui did not intend to retain a group of special people to serve for a long time, because if these people were left, it is likely that these people would evolve into the emperor's so-called cronies in the future, and then form a large political group. It's also very scary. When the time comes. Those who have remained in the court for a long time have ambitions and incite their descendants to seize power, and it is really doomed. These people can't stay for a long time, and once the date comes, they have to get out, otherwise who knows if there will be ambitions next!

"But, Lord Wang, if you let those people go. For example, some special circumstances, such as ......" Li Zhanfeng is a little difficult to say.

"Like what. Say! Wang Guorui said.

"For example, what about the palace maid who was favored by the emperor?" Li Zhanfeng asked.

And when Wang Guorui heard this, he couldn't help frowning, because this is a very important problem and an unsolvable problem. If you have descendants, or even yourself, you may be lustful at some point and find some palace maids to serve. But will these people be sent back to the people? In this way, I am afraid that Wang Guorui himself will not be reconciled. And their descendants are not reconciled. Moreover, it will also be a very important issue at that time. If the emperor of his own descendants uses certain privileges or some coercive means to make those women submit. Whether that follows the strong. What about the adulterous Ahri? If you follow the strong. When it comes to the crime of adultery, where will the emperor's face and the royal face be put at that time? On the other hand, if it is not dealt with, how can the dignity of justice be resolved?

Therefore, this question is to the point, and if it is not solved well, there must be a big problem.

Wang Guorui is also thinking. How exactly should this problem be solved? As a man, there is no way to solve this problem. Not to mention his own descendants, he may be tempted by the beauties who serve him. Once it's casual, it's on it, and the impact is very bad. It affects the image of his royal family in the country, and the law is also an issue that cannot be easily bypassed. The era of the future is no longer a feudal era. The emperor saw the era when beautiful women could go up at any time, and even the emperor had to abide by the rule of law.

And those women who dress themselves, of course Wang Guorui will not let ordinary ugly women take charge of their own lives, so how unappetizing he is! On the other hand, he will inevitably find a way to meet his physical needs, but this is a contradictory problem. If these are not addressed, there must be something wrong with them.

And Zheng Hong, who was next to him, heard Wang Guorui talking about this issue, and they all took the initiative to say: "Husband, I have an idea!" ”

"Oh? Hong'er, what do you have in mind? Wang Guorui asked.

Zheng Hong took the initiative to say: "I think we can select palace maids from abroad." For example, let the Koreans, or in the future, after we defeat and conquer the Japanese, let them send young and beautiful women to serve their husbands as palace maids. We don't choose palace maids from the country, so we can avoid a lot of problems. When the time comes, the Koreans and the Japanese are willing to send these palace maids, and they are all their people, not our citizens. At that time, if they were favored by the king, they could also let those women stay and serve for a long time. And those who have not been favored, once the five-year period is reached, they will return to their home countries and let the Koreans and Japanese send another batch. In this way, everyone can also solve this problem, anyway, it is not our own domestic woman, and everyone can turn a blind eye. When the time comes, it will be possible to shirk the so-called 'rules' of the Koreans and the Japanese, stipulating that those women must meet all the requirements of our king, so that they can serve. Sleeping can also be said to be reasonable. And the people in our country don't care about the fate of these foreign women, anyway, they are not their own people, what are they afraid of? ”

"General Zheng is right, Lord Wang, I think it can be solved in this way. As long as the selection is a foreign woman, and it is still a subject country of Goryeo and Japan, then we don't have to worry too much. There was no democracy or rule of law in their country, and the women they sent were left to the king's own devices. Li Zhanfeng said.

Li Zhanfeng is now a part-time "chief of the inner house", and during the current war, Li Zhanfeng's chamberlain arranges Wang Guorui's life, so Li Zhanfeng still has some say in this regard.

Wang Guorui also has to say that this method is really good. Anyway, when the time comes, select a group of palace maids from Goryeo and Japan, so that they can also "stipulate" that they must meet all the requirements of the Chinese emperor, so that many problems can be bypassed. And Chinese women can not be palace maids in the future, because if there is really a scandal at that time, it will be really a big problem. At that time, the people will pay attention to the citizens of their own country, and at that time, everyone will come together to target the royal family, which is the most troublesome. And these foreign palace maids are also a good choice, not only can they play casually, but they don't have to be responsible for marrying in anyway, as long as they stay to serve for a long time.

Anyway, they foreigners can't have much power in front of the new emperor, and they have no relatives in China to gain political support. So they're just a bunch of playthings, don't worry. And China's own women let them live their own lives, and they don't have to worry about being forcibly taken to be palace maids.

"But, Hong'er, can you really accept it?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Zheng Hong took the initiative to say: "As a wife, you should be generous." ”

Wang Guorui knew that Zheng Hong thought so, but there was actually a reason. One of the reasons is that she was born in the feudal period, and her thinking from childhood to adulthood is not so easy to change, even if she is now the director of the General Political Department of the Chinese army, and still has the rank of lieutenant general, but the outlook on life, worldview and values formed since childhood is not so easy to change. She naturally knew that the emperor would have many women, and her husband became the emperor, so she naturally had to accept this result.

What's more, there is another important reason, Zheng Hong is not worried about falling out of favor. Because several women around Wang Guorui have their own formal positions and powers. Zheng Hong not only has a position in the General Political Department, but also there is no one around him. Zheng Hong is the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, as if he is the leader of a big faction in the army, so Zheng Hong is not worried that he will fall out of favor. Whether the concubines of the ancient court will fall out of favor is not simply because they are old and decrepit, but more importantly, it depends on whether they have a backer behind them. If the concubine has a big backing, then even if she is old and decrepit, she will not fall out of favor. And if you rely solely on beauty, it may not take two months for the emperor to fall out of favor if he gets tired of playing. So Zheng Hong has a big faction as a backer, so naturally he will not be afraid of falling out of favor. With Zheng Hong's status, it is already difficult to fall out of favor.

As for the other aspect, Zheng Hong is not afraid that the remaining sons of the women sent by Japan and Goryeo in the future will threaten the inheritance of their children. These foreign women, even if they give birth to children, will not be able to inherit the throne. At present, Zheng Hong is not worried about most of the women around Wang Guorui, at present, only Liu Xuesheng's children may threaten the inheritance of his children, and other women are not qualified to do so.

And now that Zheng Hong has given birth to a child, she naturally puts more energy into the child, rather than Wang Guorui's husband, Zheng Hong is most worried about her son's future inheritance, not Wang Guorui's love for her. So Wang Guorui has more women, it doesn't matter, as long as they are not Han women, they will not have any fear. On the contrary, she was worried that those Han palace maids, if they gave birth to children, might really be able to threaten her son Wang Jiazhao's position as the crown prince. So she offered to let the foreigner pay tribute to the woman so that she wouldn't have to worry about it. (To be continued......)
