Chapter 2: Intertwined

The Zhan Mansion in the East Palace is designed in imitation of the front court, and has always been known as a small court. The Zhan Mansion is in charge of Zhan Shi, and Shao Zhan Shi is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace.

Wu Peiwen has already been a celebrity, and since he received the position of the East Palace Taifu, the emperor let him take the post of Zhan Shi. Today's imperial concubine is not married, and there are not many actual affairs in the East Palace, and most of the general affairs are in charge of Yang Zhuoquan, the Shaozhan matter.

"So, the teacher's position is a false position?"

"That's how you can understand it."

After that, Lu Jiangfeng wrote two nouns on the paper, namely Zuo Chunfang and Right Chunfang.

"In the past, the East Palace was also known as the Spring Fang. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Li Jiangwei shook her head and listened patiently.

"This left and right Chunfang is modeled after the two provinces of the Chinese book and the door of the former court. This is the left and right concubines of Chunfang, you can simply understand it as the advisors of the imperial concubine as others in the folk. ”

finally talked about the link that Li Jiangwei wanted to know the most.

After the names of the left and right concubines were written, Lu Jiangfeng wrote down the names of several other people in order according to their grades. Put down the brush, pointed to one of the names and explained: "This wife of Zuo Zhongyun Yan Yanzheng, the mother of the young lady of the Wu family who you know well is a sister. ”

Then, the names of two more people were named. Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Shuzi Ji Liang, and Right Zhongyun Gu Hao.

"The outside world says that our Lulu clan is a big family, but it is not a scholar family."

After that, Lu Jiangfeng asked for a brush and wrote the words "Shi" and "Shi" on the paper.

"For thousands of years, the number of times he has been out of the ranks is only a handful. Even today, what I received in the DPRK is a false title. This is also the reason why the Lu clan cannot be called a scholar clan. ”

Lu Jiangfeng nodded the word "Ji" and said, "He is the son of the Boling Ji clan, and the Boling Ji clan is quite a well-established scholar. Speaking of which, the founding emperor of the former Liang Dynasty was also disliked by the head of the Boling Ji clan at that time, and his background was not high. ”

Then he nodded the name Gu Hao: "This Gu Hao was born in the Jiulian Gu family. Jiulian Gu's is called Huaizhou Shuangjia with our Lu clan in Huaizhou. ”

Whether it is the Boling Ji clan or the Jiulian Gu clan, they are all famous scholars in Shenzhou.

The reason why the scholars are strong comes from their heritage. Everyone who has passed down this kind of poetry and books to the world attaches great importance to education and has a very strict family style. The gentlemen of ethnography are all famous teachers and Confucians. The children of the scholar clan were often more likely to enter the temple than the children of the ordinary poor families.

This kind of power also made the emperor jealous. Many emperors of various dynasties and generations drafted edicts in order to limit the power of the scholars.

"The ethnology of these families is very good, but it is a pity that after the reform of the imperial examination, the ethnology of the Gu family and the Ji family cannot issue student status. After enlightenment, you can only go to other universities. ”

It is precisely because of the limitation of student status that An Yuanbo Mansion has never considered opening a family school. The three older brothers and younger brothers in Li Jiangwei's family are all studying abroad.

"Without the maintenance of ethnography and the friendship of classmates, the relationship between the new generation of these scholars began to gradually drift apart. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, even if there are many restrictions, there are still people who worship the generals. If the imperial concubine can successfully ascend to the throne, the future of these people is limitless. ”

Then Lu Jiangfeng wrote the name Gu Ying.

"Gu Ying and Gu Hao, the right attendants of the ministry, are cousins of the same clan, and this generation of Gu family members is thin, so they will not make Jinshang so jealous. As for the Ji family, it's even more interesting. ”

This intricate in-law relationship gave Li Jiangwei a headache. If it weren't for Lu Jiangfeng writing down the names of several people clearly on the paper, it would be difficult for her to keep up with the rhythm.

"Do you remember the lady of Yan Yanzheng that I mentioned earlier? His wife was born in the Liao clan in southern Guannan. This Liao clan's fame is not as prominent as the Boling Ji clan and the Jiulian Gu clan, but it should not be underestimated. ”

After Lu Jiangfeng finished his introduction, he wrote the word "Liao" behind Yan Yanzheng's name.

"It's really intertwined......" Li Jiangwei frowned and sighed softly.

"What's more?" Lu Jiangfeng said with a smile: "When the big families in Shangjing choose their clan wives, most of them are biased towards women from the Shi clan. The wife of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the wife of the right Zanshan Guan Tingxin of the Right Chunfang are also the daughters of the Ji family. In Ji Liang's examination, Jinshi was recommended by Sun Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, during the six-part ceremony, and stayed in the Ministry of Industry to take up his post. Legend has it that this Ji Liang's arithmetic is excellent, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it. ”

Lu Jiangfeng mentioned a lot of names. After listening to a long list of introductions, Li Jiangwei spent a lot of time digesting. Looking down at the names of the people, trying to rearrange these interpersonal relationships, Li Jiangwei noticed something.

There are four people in the Zhan Mansion who have a relationship with these great scholars!

"Sister! Are the personnel of the Zhan Mansion appointed by the emperor or by the imperial concubine? ”

"It's the emperor." Lu Jiangfeng asked, "What?" ”

Something was slowly taking shape in Li Jiangwei's mind.

"If you have any guesses, you might as well speak up." Lu Jiangfeng said step by step: "There are some things that I mention here, it is better than returning to the Bofu and no one to discuss. The situation on the Huangji's side, I am more familiar with it than the second uncle and Brother Sheng. ”

"I originally thought that the imperial concubine wanted to reform the imperial examination system in order to break the shackles and make it easier for women to participate in the imperial examination. Now it seems that maybe I thought too little. ”

Relying only on the existing character relationships, Li Jiangwei can open her mind and associate a lot of things.

"Nearly half of the important positions in the Zhan Mansion are scholars, but the scholars are restricted. If...... Not...... I'm just assuming ......"

Li Jiangwei is not very confident in her own ideas. With Lu Jiangxi's encouragement, she sorted out her thoughts again and said slowly.

The emperor showed his dislike for the imperial concubine...... Maybe not. No, it may not be accurate to say that, it should be said...... The attitude is more ...... than the dislike Complex? ”

Li Jiangwei said the word "complicated" with some difficulty, and her brows furrowed as the syllables fell. When the word came out of my mouth, some vague thoughts gradually became clear.

When Lu Jiangfeng heard this, he was shocked. Hurriedly opened the door of the study and instructed Valin: "Keep an eye on the neighborhood and don't let people approach." ”

"Yes!"

After coming back, Lu Jiangfeng said solemnly: "You continue." ”

Such a serious Lu Jiangfeng, Li Jiangwei is the first time to see it. In the past, Lu Jiangfeng was gentle, generous and steady. The six-year age difference makes Lu Jiangfeng look extremely mature, sometimes not like an older sister, but like a mother.

The eldest sister is like a mother, probably like this.

And the current Lu Jiangfeng may be closer to ...... Colleague?

"I'm sorry." After Lu Jiangfeng found Li Jiangwei's slightly puzzled gaze, he adjusted his breathing, and the whole person relaxed, "I unconsciously use the attitude of dealing with business." Scares you? ”

Li Jiangwei shook her head, "I'm just a writer, and I'm not very familiar with conspiracy and the like." What I'm going to say next, just ask my sister to listen to it, don't take it to heart. The emperor may not dislike the imperial concubine, but he is testing the imperial concubine. ”

Even if there is a hadith of the Holy Ancestor, it is not possible for one or two generations to free a woman from the shackles of a thousand years. Even if there is a hadith, the second princess is crowned as the imperial concubine, which is not in line with the practice of thousands of years.

Habits that last for thousands of years are the most difficult to change, and these old ideas are ingrained in the heart and will always affect judgment.
