In the end, Zhong Xiaoxin spoke: "Haiyan, you go down first, pay more attention to what you were told last time." In this way, Haiyan reluctantly left and closed the door.

"What do you want to tell me?" Zhong Xiaoxin asked Qi Xiaodaoye.

If you just talk about the task arrangement or method of doing things in the future, there is no need for Qi Xiaodao Ye to send Hai Yan away, to tell the truth, in terms of familiarity and field control ability in the affairs of Shenglongguan, Hai Yan is one year younger than Zhong Xiaoxin, and his ability is much stronger.

Therefore, Qi Xiaodao sent people away, and the two of them were left, and there must be something important to inform her.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Xiaodao opened his mouth, he was a big question of principle: "Do you know why there are few saintly heirs?"

"Because there are fewer concubines......?"

"......" makes sense, but ...... "Do you know why there are fewer concubines?"

"Because you can't afford to raise ......?"

Even the number of palace maids and eunuchs in the harem is so small, if there are too many concubines, can they let the family do their own laundry, cooking, and cleaning the toilet...... Belch...... But this is a bit unreasonable, because theoretically, all palace maids are considered emperors, even if they are little palace maids who do laundry, cooking, and cleaning toilets, if they see it, they can also shoot guns...... Uh, what was I thinking? And in the end, it has been more than 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no matter how poor the country is, it is impossible to be poor harem...... In other words, there are few people in the harem like this, not because they can't afford to raise them or want to save money, but for some other reasons?

looked at Zhong Xiaoxin with a look of understanding. Qi Xiaodao Ye opened his mouth and continued.

"In fact, when Taizu founded the country, there was a civil draft to recruit the ...... of the harem"

Wasn't the crown prince of Emperor Yuanzhi already an adult when Taizu founded the country? And it is said that at that time, he was sent away by Empress Chang, and the total number of those who were kept by her side was nearly three figures, which is disrespectful to the old man...... Zhong Xiaoxin could only reply with an "oh" to this, and she didn't dare to really scold.

"But I didn't expect that among the beauties who came in Xinna, several of them were White Lotus disciples, and they interacted with the palace maids and eunuchs left in the previous dynasty at that time with the White Lotus code, and they secretly colluded together, intending to assassinate Taizu, although this matter was detected by the Shenglongguan Secret Guard and prevented, but Taizu's body was also damaged, therefore, in the more than ten years after Taizu entered Beijing, there were no other heirs in the palace except for King Duan. ”

"That's ...... this," Zhong Xiaoxin's eyes widened. She knows everything that the grandfather who was supposed to give birth to a child like a pig every year couldn't give birth to a child, but after becoming the emperor, she couldn't give birth, before she thought it was Queen Chang's tricks, because the queen gave her the feeling that she was really smart, but she didn't expect it to be the White Lotus Sect.

"Then it's no wonder that Taizu will bloody the harem later. Zhong Xiaoxin nodded in understanding.

Chi Si told her this paragraph before, Taizu washed the harem in blood because of the appearance of the white lotus remnants in the palace, except for the old lady who was brought on the road with the army, he almost killed the harem cleanly.

"The White Lotus Sect has been entrenched in the imperial city for 500 years, and it is also the place where the White Lotus has the deepest trust, and almost all the people around Kyoto believe in the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, after this bloodbath, the palace maids and eunuchs had to be selected from outside Beijing. ”

However, the White Lotus belief is too ordinary, even outside the capital, it is very difficult to find the kind of people whose ancestors have not been involved with the White Lotus Sect for several generations, not to mention that at that time, there were years of war, displacement, and the background of too many people could not be checked, so there were so few people serving in the palace, so there were not many concubines, Taizu had not added more heirs after being the emperor, and for a while White Lotus made trouble in the palace, which did hurt her body, and the second is that there are few concubines, and there are many old concubines, there are no young and beautiful beauties, and Taizu's interest is not high。

It's definitely not that Taizu's body is not good...... Otherwise, Chi Si's birth will have trouble explaining.

So after that, the control of the resident population in the palace is strict to the point of madness, because of the high standards and strict requirements, so if there is a candidate with an innocent and young and intelligent life experience that is not easy to find, it will also give priority to let him join the Imperial City Division and Shenglong Guan, and dare not castrate people as eunuchs casually, so from the Taizu period to the Yuanzhi Emperor period, the palace concubines, palace maids, especially the eunuchs, the number is pitiful, a whole large palace, the emperor of the previous dynasty can use this palace to accept three thousand beauties, these three thousand refers to the concubines of the grade, and the emperor's harem of the Great Jin Dynasty, even the old lady who picks the toilet is counted, it's not enough to make up five hundred.

It's no wonder that Zhong Xiaoxin was haunted as soon as she entered the palace, and Shenglongguan couldn't find any fart because of this because she broke her leg every day. Zhong Xiaoxin said bluntly: "I thought it was too useless for us to ascend to the dragon...... It turned out that there was not enough manpower?" The words were a little ugly, but who was she and Qi Xiaodaoye, and the two of them chatted with each other.

Qi Xiaodao Ye really looked at her with an expression of wanting to spurt blood: "Why do you think that when you go to the White Lotus Sect in the Ascending Dragon Temple, everything always goes wrong?"

"It's not that there aren't enough people, but it's really useless......

"Shut up. ”

"I Shenglongguan and Taizu all the way from the north to raise troops, after annexing the forces of several northern provinces, in the Central Plains with the old Chu war, a war success and the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if the people in the view are a child, there are thousands of unstoppable bravery, you look at today's court, whether it is the civil and military eunuchs, are the northerners, that is, the Shenglong Temple and the Imperial City Division, but all available people, are also from the north, but the capital is southern, the south is more advanced than the north in terms of economy and culture, people think at ease, believers are many, the White Lotus Sect whether in the capital or the south, all occupy the market, and there are 500 years of history, many people are in the old Chu, so Taizu in order to suppress the south in the north, Even the test papers of the examination are divided into the south and the north volume, but all the people in the Shenglong Temple are born in the north, whether it is language customs or speaking and doing things, they are incompatible with the capital, so ...... "The earliest training direction of the Shenglong Temple is the soldiers in the army, and occasionally there will be talents suitable for exploring horses and fine work, but they are also orthodox northern accents, no one expected that the process of Taizu's unification was so fast, so that the Shenglong Temple was called the Secret Guard, but there was no suitable manpower for the Secret Guard.

"So...... No wonder every time I look at the Shenglong observation point, I can't find anything, and the so-called secret guard of you is engaged in assassination. ”

Zhong Xiaoxin was about to faint.

Tell the truth...... In the past, she thought that every time she checked something, she could cut off the clues, because she and the fourth brother always wanted to hug and kiss each other, thinking that it was Chi Si or some kind of bad luck against the heavens that caused people to be affected by the Shenglong Temple, but now I heard what Qi Xiaodao said......

It has been 30 years since the Great Jin Dynasty entered the capital, and a whole generation has been underrecruited, so you still have to check the wool.
