Chapter 12 The Harem
As a hereditary leader, Wu Lu was in charge of the household registration, the farmhouse, the military registration, and the litigation of a part of the yellow flag. Therefore, the draft is also within Wu Lu's control.
Originally, Wu Lu wanted to change his daughter half a year younger and avoid this draft, but what his daughter said made Wu Lu understand that there must be no more small actions. Maybe doing this in his daughter's dream not only ruined his future, but also made Banzai have a bad impression of his daughter.
"Yao'er, I'm afraid you're going to run in this draft." Wu Lu said to Yun Yao cautiously.
"My daughter understands that Ama was worried about her daughter's affairs before, and her daughter was willful, and she wanted to stay at home for a few more years, but her daughter couldn't accompany you in the future." Yun Yao was a little sad as she spoke.
Ma Jiashi also knew that her daughter's entry into the palace was a foregone conclusion, so she hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.
Yun Yao was busy comforting Eniang, and Wu Lu was also a little sad.
Wu Lu knew the possible future of his family from his daughter, and he was always worried. Although Wu Lu also reads the books of sages, he himself also believes in these mysterious strange things, and he thinks that eighty percent of the ancestors entrusted dreams to their daughters to protect their descendants.
Then Wu Lu asked Yun Yao about the things in his dream, especially about the previous dynasty's affairs and politics. Although Yun Yao didn't know much before, according to the situation in the history books he read in the modern era in his previous life, he told Wu Lu some famous events.
Yun Yao focused on the Pingsan Domain, because this war had a huge impact on the harem of the former dynasty in the early Kangxi period.
For the previous dynasty, the Ping San Domain almost crumbled the Qing Empire, and even if it won in the end, it caused irreparable losses to the Qing Dynasty. Some of the Manchu nobles had military merits and rose to prominence, while others died on the battlefield. Ping San Fan is simply a copy of the boss, as long as someone has made meritorious contributions, they are all prominent families in the middle and late Kangxi periods.
And Yun Yao's Ama and his brother both participated in this war, and the result was that the only son of Wu Lu's eldest brother and Wu Lu's younger brother were both killed on the battlefield, and later when calculating military merits, Wu Lu's brothers suffered a great loss. As a result, the Wu Lu brothers were devastated.
For the harem, because of the Ping San Domain, the draft was suspended from the thirteenth to the twentieth year of Kangxi. Most of the people in the harem at this time are the old people and palace maids who have accumulated before, and it is the peak of the palace maid's ascendancy at this time, and the later concubine De is favored by the emperor at this time.
And in the sixteenth year of the emperor's great sealing of the harem, Yun Yao had no favor and no children at that time, of course she had no share. However, the concubines who were sealed this time have a lot to do with the government. In August of the sixteenth year of Kangxi, Kangxi's daughter Niu Colu was the queen, Tong Guowei's daughter Tong Jiashi was the concubine, Li was named An Concubine, Wang Jia's was Jing Concubine, Dong was Duan Concubine, Ma Jia's was Rong Concubine, Nala's was Hui Concubine, Guo Luoluo was Yi Concubine, and Hesheri was a concubine.
Look at the queen first, at this time, Concubine Niu Hulu was the queen, which had a lot to do with the battlefield of the three feudatories. In fact, at the beginning, Kangxi really didn't think about setting up another queen, after all, at this time, the prince was established, Kangxi loved the prince and lost his mother as soon as he was born, and he was worried that the queen would affect the prince. But at this time, most of the children of the Niu Hulu family are fighting bloodily on the battlefield, and I also said that the Niu Hulu family is a big family, there are many people in the big family, and basically all of them have high power, this weight is not small, not to mention the others, just Yun Yao's branch, Yun Yao's uncles and brothers also joined the army, but in the end, they made a wedding dress for the queen, and Yun Yao didn't catch it at all.
There are also some middle- and low-level officers who are attached to the Niu Hulu family, and their power is even greater. Don't look at the Niu Hulu clan during the Kangxi period, the name of Curb Pilon is the largest, but it doesn't mean that Curb Pilon is the only one.
He had fifteen brothers, and although he died, the Niu Hulu family was powerful enough for his daughter to be crowned queen.
And the other concubines have very good family backgrounds.
An Concubine Li was originally of Han nationality, and her grandfather Li Yongfang was the first Ming general to surrender to Jin, and married the daughter of Belle Abatai as his wife, so Li Yongfang is also known as "Fuxi Edo". Li's father, Gang Atai, is the third son of Li Yongfang, and served as the chief military officer of Xuanfu (Zheng Erpin) in Shunzhi for five years, which belongs to the blue banner of the Han army. The reason why the Li family ranked first among the seven concubines was also related to the general background at that time, because Kangxi was worried that the Han people would rebel and win over the Han people. It is worth mentioning that An Concubine has no royal blood, because her father is not the son of the clan, and because of this, An Concubine's later fate is not good.
Jing Concubine Wang Jiashi is the daughter of Huashan, the leader of the Protector Army, and she is also the banner of the Han Army. The biggest role of her and An Concubine is to stabilize the mascots of Hanchen's hearts. It can be said that success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. Although Kangxi had no choice but to elevate their status, when the war ended, their role disappeared.
As for the Dong family's concubines, in the current Yun Yao's opinion, the Dong family was simply plugged in in the early days of Kangxi. Born in Baoyi, yes, she, like the later Concubine De, was born in Baoyi. Later generations said that Concubine De was a model of coating, but in fact, the example of wrapping at this time was Concubine Dong. She overwhelmed Yi Concubine, Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine ranked third among the concubines. Now she is pregnant, and the second daughter in her belly is the future princess. At this time, she was a concubine, but she was named a concubine in the sixteenth year.
This has shocked the eyes of a lot of people. No one knows why the emperor named her a concubine, if it is the reason for the heir, not to say that she gave birth to a daughter, only mentioning that the second daughter of the emperor has died, it is unlikely to be for this. What's more, she is not the only one who gave birth to children in the palace, but also the concubines Zhang and Zhaojia, who gave birth to the eldest daughter and the third daughter of the emperor, not only did not have a seal, but also disappeared in the palace later.
You must know that Kangxi attaches great importance to identity, and the other concubines either have family backgrounds or children. Dong is too conspicuous among them. As far as Yun Yao knows, Duan Concubine recruited a large number of Manchurian nobles to target, you must know that when Yun Yao entered the palace, there were not so many people targeting her. But later, Kangxi actually took action to lay down the conspiracy of the people in the harem and saved the concubine. This made the harem concubines feel sour, after all, the emperor usually doesn't favor the concubines very much, and it makes people with hearts firm in their thoughts.
As for Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine, the reasons are not detailed.
And Yi Concubine had no children to ascend to the throne, and she was also targeted, but she was smart later and gave birth to the fifth son of the emperor to be raised by the queen mother, in exchange for the protection of the queen mother.
In October of the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Kangxi named Wu Yashi as a concubine, which seems to have something to do with Duan Concubine.
In his previous life, Kangxi made Bao Yi a concubine twice, and even the Empress Dowager did not stop him, which made the concubines, including Yun Yao, dare not ask. Later, Yun Yao faintly knew that the high seal of Duan Concubine seemed to be related to the emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang. After that, he didn't dare to mention it even more.
After Wu Lu asked, he asked Fu Jin and Yun Yao to go back to rest, and stayed in the study to think about things.
Yun Yao's words just now had a huge impact on Wu Lu, and Wu Lu's heart was a little hesitant, but at least he already knew this, which made his heart feel a little settled.
However, this strengthened Wu Lu's determination to send his daughter to the palace, after all, whoever is close to the emperor in the future will be promoted. Wu Lu decided to discuss with his brothers and persuade them to hand over the manpower in the harem to his daughter, after all, Yun Yao is the only girl in their generation, and they all love this daughter the most on weekdays, and Wu Lu's brothers before all intended to send Yun Yao to the palace, just because of the love of Wu Lu and his wife. Now that Wu Lu agrees to this, they must be happy to see it happen.
