"This ...... I really want to promise you, but I have already promised Concubine Xian to be in charge of this concubine selection event, and it doesn't seem appropriate to entrust it to you. Sima Hong actually groaned. It's not that he doesn't dare to do that, but the current host is His Majesty's cat, but he knows very well that his predecessor Sima Hong is very fond of this concubine, and even he can't help it, which makes His Majesty the Emperor forget the little flower cat called spring outside the window for the time being.

So, when he heard that Wang Ziyu was going to take care of the selection of concubines, he hesitated a little. If people are good to him, he will always return the favor. What's more, this is something that His Majesty the predecessor Emperor Sima Hong has already agreed to. The emperor is a man of his word. If it is changed categorically, although according to Concubine Xian's temper, there will definitely be no trouble. But it will always hurt Concubine Xian's heart, and even hurt the loyalty of Concubine Xian's family. You must know that Concubine Xian's father, Zhu Xiaotian, can also be regarded as a member of the party. This is also a big supporter for His Majesty the Emperor.

Since coming to this life, His Majesty Cat has borrowed Sima Hong's wisdom and learned all kinds of trade-offs. Especially the intricacies of the forces in this Daluo City, every time the balance is broken, we must be cautious. Although Wang Ziyu is very reliable, and there is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy. But in this imperial city, intimacy doesn't guarantee seeing the sun tomorrow. And what really sways the situation is the real power. Only when there is enough strength will there be peaceful days. Sima Hong can be sure that the loss of Wang Ziyu now will have little impact on his current situation. But now, if you lose Sima Qiu, it means that a catastrophe is coming, and death is not far away.

Therefore, every matter related to the change of an important chess piece in his hand, he will think carefully and think again before picking up this chess piece. I feel that the follow-up move is completely safe, and even if I don't conquer the city, I won't lose anything, so it's easy to move.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between the minister and the concubine is not an either/or relationship. Your Majesty may appoint me as a deputy to choose a concubine. The result of the selection of concubines is decided by the concubines, but the specific arrangements for the selection of concubines can be made by the ministers. This not only satisfies the concubines, but also allows the ministers to take the opportunity to screen the candidates for these concubines and eliminate hidden dangers. Wang Ziyu smiled slightly.

"Commander Wang, you said that the crown prince may infiltrate the selection of concubines, and they have not taken action in the future to prepare?" Sima Qiu was shocked. If it weren't for the enemy's actions, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find a reason anyway, and a leader of the Qingying Guard would have participated in the process of choosing a concubine.

"Yes, it's possible that the kung fu is not low. If they are allowed to infiltrate the harem, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor will be in danger. In fact, Wang Ziyu is also speculating. But if he is the crown prince, he will definitely collect beauties from the people who are loyal to him and present them to Sima Hong. People may be wary at other times, but only two times will they relax. One is when you are asleep, and the other is when you are high-pitched. These are the two extremes of man.

When you are sleeping, you can protect the safety of the Qingying Guard and the forbidden army. But when it comes to high-pitchedness, once the high-pitched person has the ability to attack, it is ironclad. If this timing is perfectly coordinated with external forces, it will be a change in the sky. Therefore, if Wang Ziyu wants to gradually control the Daluo Empire, he must gradually bring these forces into his control. Now he is not worried about His Majesty the Emperor, and he is relieved when he mentioned the multi-born cat before. It is only a matter of time before the two recognize each other. But now, he wants to put the harem in a reasonable and reasonable way, completely tidy up, and be safe. so that when they enter the Lord in the future, they may sleep peacefully.

"In that case, Concubine Xian is responsible for making the decision to choose a concubine, and you control the process of choosing a concubine, and you must ensure that this matter does not endanger the safety of the harem." His Majesty the Emperor immediately made arrangements.

"Obey. Can the minister go to meet Concubine Xian now and discuss the selection of concubines? Wang Ziyu asked.

"Yes. Go ahead. By the way, give you a waist card, and you can walk around the harem in the future. But you have to remember that you are not allowed to fight the idea of harem concubines. If it's really itchy, which palace maid do you value, I can reward you. "This Sima Hong is really refreshing.

"Yes. The minister will obey the holy commandment. ”

If you don't walk around the harem, you don't know the pomp and circumstance in this harem. Although in the life of Prince Yu, I have seen all kinds of palace fighting scenes, and I have also seen those scenes in the palace. But that's just from the TV. Now that I am really immersed in the scene, I feel that the dignity of the emperor's family has been reflected through this piece of palace and the high wall. He felt like he was walking into a labyrinth.

Fortunately, the layout of the palace of the Daluo Empire is relatively square, with a square pattern and a south-facing orientation. It is 910 meters long from north to south and 820 meters wide from east to west. Based on the middle line, it presents a symmetrical pattern, with three advances in front and back. The front of the middle line is the noon gate, enter the noon gate, pass through an empty courtyard, is the Qianqing Palace, take its heaven and earth clear, always keep the meaning of clear and peaceful, mainly the place of the morning dynasty every day. After the Qianqing Palace, through a courtyard, and then go inside, it is the Qinzheng Palace. The Qinzheng Hall is the place where His Majesty the Emperor approves and handles government affairs. According to the current version, this Qianqing Hall is a meeting room, a special place for meetings with ministers, and for meeting important envoys. The Qinzheng Hall is the office of His Majesty the Emperor. It is followed by the Jiao Tai Palace. Jiao Thai, as the name suggests, is the intersection of heaven and earth. With the emperor as the sky and the queen's concubines as the land, it can be imagined that this is the place where the emperor sleeps and takes care of the harem concubines by the way. Of course, the emperor would sometimes visit the house and visit the place where the harem concubines lived, and thank them. As for where, it depends on the interest of His Majesty the Emperor.

And then after the Tai Palace, it is the back garden. Different from the back garden of other imperial palaces, the center of the back garden of the Daluo Imperial Palace is a rockery, and there is a Xunfang Pavilion built on the mountain. This is also a residence, but it can only be used by the emperor, and every time the concubines who are elected to the palace receive the blessing of His Majesty the emperor for the first time. This can be regarded as a habit of Sima Hong.

Behind the back garden, there is the Xuanwu Gate. On the left side of the middle line, it is mainly for the children and elders of the royal family to live, but the adult princes, who are generally crowned princes, all move out to set up another mansion, and the other little ones still spend the rest of their time here. Generally, to the extent of having a fief, you need to reach the status of a marquis, and when you reach the level of a prince, it is even more awesome. And on the right is the residence of the harem concubines. It is divided into the upper three palaces, the lower three palaces, the twelve pavilions and the herb garden. These three palaces are respectively the upper Kun Palace, the Middle Kun Palace, and the lower Kun Palace. The upper Kun Palace is inhabited by the queen, the Zhongkun Palace belongs to the noble concubine, and the lower Kun Palace is where the concubine is located. The lower three palaces are the Lotus Palace, the Furong Palace, and the Hanlian Palace. The lower three houses are more interesting, although the names are different, but all of them are lotus names, just different aliases for lotus, very Buddha. It is said that a high monk said that the three palaces are easy to fight right and wrong, and many people will die, so the three palaces are named after lotus flowers, and then all the Buddhas of joy are enshrined in the three palaces, which means that everyone has less disputes and more well-being. But it backfired, and the next three palaces were five years each, and the empty palace was once. The Lotus Palace is the residence of the Duan Concubine, the Furong Palace is the residence of the Jing Concubine, and the Hanlian Palace is the residence of the concubine. Whenever someone is sealed, quiet, and one of the three concubines, they face it with a spirit of seeing death as home, and basically entering the three houses of lotus flowers is a dead end. As for the weirdness of this, even the master can't solve it.

The upper and lower three palaces are inhabited by the queen and five concubines, while the twelve concubines are inhabited by the twelve concubines. The concubine is in the harem of the Daluo Empire, three levels lower than the queen. Among them, the queen's rank is a product, she is in charge of the harem, has the highest monthly money, and the food and clothing in the entire harem are also the most magnificent and luxurious. The second is the concubine, whose rank is from the first grade, that is, slightly lower than the first grade and slightly higher than the second grade. It can be said that in the harem, except for the factor of favor, in this official rank, the concubine is below one person and above hundreds of people. Of course, she is also under the emperor. Thinking of the above, the emperor must be happy. She was followed by Concubine Xian. Although Concubine Xian is also ranked as one of the upper three palaces, the upper three palaces are ranked last, and the rank is second. Judging from the monthly money, it is a lot less than the queen and the concubine. But because Concubine Xian has been favored in recent years, the emperor has rewarded her from time to time, which makes Concubine Xian's Xiakun Palace no worse than Shangkun Palace. This is exactly what the horse has no night grass and no fertilizer. In the lower three palaces, Duan, Jing, and the three concubines are all of the three grades, and they are ranked in no particular order. Twelve Xuan, the upper six Xuan is the fourth grade, and the lower six Xuan is from the fourth grade. In addition to the relatively high-level of these eighteen people in the harem, the other people below the rank of concubines all live in Baicao Garden.

The first time I heard the eunuch talk about Baicao Garden, Wang Ziyu remembered the article "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study". What he didn't understand was why His Majesty the Emperor liked to call the place where the remaining miscellaneous concubines lived Baicao Garden. But after the eunuch spoke, he suddenly understood. Because these people are all below the rank of concubines, they are three grades: wife, concubine, and tiyi. The lady is six grades, the concubine is seven grades, and the clothes are eight grades. These people are not only of low grade and low monthly income, but also have very poor living conditions. The place where they live is not an independent palace, but a guest house, with three floors and about three hundred rooms. One room for each lady, equivalent to the level of the presidential suite, with four maids, and four maids live in the matching room next to the lady. The concubine lives in a room slightly smaller than the lady, which is equivalent to the level of a VIP suite, with three maids living in a matching room; As for the clothes, it is a smaller room, this room, which is equivalent to the hotel's big bed room, has been out of the category of suites, with two maids, living in a matching room. Compared with the upper and lower three palaces and twelve pavilions, this Baicao Garden has no private food, and all of them eat in the canteen on the first floor. The dining room is only for dining, and the wife, concubine, and tiyi are separated. Madame's restaurant is slightly more upscale and the food is better; When it comes to the pick-up, it's even worse. As for those girls, if there is a reward from the master, they can eat better, if not, then they have to eat people's meals in the canteen. The meals of the next people are basically the same as the set meals in the canteen now, and there is no oil and water in them. When I see some meat or something, it is also the leftovers of animals, which is not suitable for the part of the main dish for these small masters in the Baicao Garden.

These little masters who grow savagely in the Hundred Herbs Garden have spent their entire lives and have only a handful of opportunities to be pampered. There are many who have not even seen Emperor Sima Hong, and they have lost their lives by the ruthless palace fighting scenes. Although these people have no worries about food and clothing here, they are not in danger. It is not their wealth that they take, but the life that they enjoy it.

For them, they should do everything possible to gain the favor of His Majesty the Emperor and leave the Baicao Garden smoothly in order to have one more chance of survival. Otherwise, here, everyone's fate is almost the same, and they will be the masters of the upper and lower three palaces and twelve xuan, in front of the gun, and they don't know when they will become cannon fodder. But they know that the day of becoming cannon fodder will not be too long.

But no matter how hard they try, for the little masters of Baicao Garden, most of them have become cannon fodder, which is their fate. Only a very small number of particularly outstanding people can get out of the bitter sea of Baicao Garden and be promoted to the Twelve Xuan, or even the Lower Third Palace. But being able to enter the upper third house is basically equivalent to an idiot's dream. As long as you don't enter the Twelve Xuan when you choose a concubine, this step into the upper third palace is basically no play. But any woman who can enter the upper and lower three palaces and the twelve pavilions is a person with a strong background. If there is no strong background support from the outside, you will basically fall into the abyss of Baicao Garden in the primary election. Without the support of the forces of the previous dynasty, it means that it loses the value of balancing the forces of all parties. And only with physical posture and talent, I'm sorry, as long as you enter the palace selection through local selection, there is no shortage of this. Even the young ladies from some big families are even more superb in terms of talent and skills, and even in the skills of serving the emperor.

Therefore, the beginning of all this is unfair.

Without much effort, Wang Ziyu came to the gate of Xiakun Palace under the leadership of a eunuch. There was a knock on the little eunuch's door, and a maid opened it. The little maid wore an ordinary bun with a brown hosta on it, a few strands of broken hair on her forehead, clear eyes, and slightly upturned lips. If it is placed in the folk, this can be regarded as a woman with a good appearance, but in this deep palace, it has become mediocre.

"Grandpa Tao, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the matter with you? Are you getting better? "This girl talks a lot.

"Miss Meng Shuirou remembered, although she was scared to death at the time, but it was better to come back to life. Sometimes it can be done Danfeng Chaoyang. There is a chance to let Miss Shuirou see it. "This Father-in-law Tao is a young father-in-law, and today he was arranged to lead Prince Yu to visit Concubine Xian, that is, Zhu Xiaotian's eldest daughter. When Wang Ziyu heard this, his father-in-law was scared to death? I'll go, this won't be Mr. Tu, right?
