In the first year of Wude, in late August, the grain, grass and ordnance were prepared, and the army of 100,000 was ready to go.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict: worship Li Shimin as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, Dou Kang as the general of the left Wuhou, Pang Yu as the general of the right Wuhou, Qu Tutong as the chief of the march, and Dou Liang as the governor of Qinzhou.

The Marshal's Mansion was joined by Dou Dan, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling, and Chai Shao, Duan Zhixuan, Ding Jikan, and Changsun Zhan all accompanied as generals.

------

On the day of the expedition, Li Shimin was dressed in military uniform, wearing a tiger head scarf, wearing bright light armor on the outside, and a battle robe on the inside, red and white. Li Shimin, who is 20 years old, has been in battle for a long time, and no longer has the youth of a fledgling, and he looks confident and calm, resolute and courageous, as if he is the commander of the three armies of 100,000 troops.

Guanyin and Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e sent Li Shimin out of Chengqing, Li Shimin and Guanyin walked side by side, Guanyin and Guanyin explained Yin Yin before leaving, I was afraid that Lang Jun would lose and repeat the mistake of the last light enemy defeat.

Li Shimin nodded slightly from time to time, and took Guanyin's advice to heart one by one.

------

After the autumn rain, the bridgehead by the canal, the breeze and willows are slanting.

An autumn rain and a cold, the willows are still dancing lightly in the wind, and the black locust can no longer withstand the autumn coolness, falling down pieces of yellow leaves.

Li Shimin and Guanyin looked at each other with their hands, and tears flashed in Yiren's eyes.

Guanyin couldn't help but explain again, "It's cold in the northwest, Brother Shimin is out on the expedition, sleeping in the open air, pay attention to the cold and keep warm, so as not to delay the military plane due to the recurrence of the old disease."

Li Shimin looked at Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e behind Guanyin, and instructed the two, "The princess is pregnant, and when this king is not in the capital, you must serve carefully, take good care of it, and not be negligent in the slightest."

Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e crossed their hands and bowed their knees, but they promised in unison.

------

The army is about to set off, and even if Guanyin is reluctant to give up in her heart, there will eventually be a farewell.

Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e stood behind Guanyin, looking at Li Shimin quietly, and they also had a thousand words in their hearts, but in front of Guanyin, they could only say one sentence, "Take care of the king."

Li Shimin resolutely turned around, walked onto the covered bridge, strode to the Tengshuang BMW, took the reins from the eunuch's hand, glanced back at the end of the covered bridge, turned over on the horse, and resolutely shook the reins and walked slowly, without the slightest nostalgia.

Guanyin, Yang Jing, and Yin Yue'e stopped to gaze and watched Li Shimin all the way east. It wasn't until he left the Yiqiu Gate that Yang Jing and Yin Yue'e helped Guanyin and turned back to the courtyard of Chengqing Palace.

------

With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Li Shimin resolutely left, leaving Guanyin, Yang Jing, and Yin Yue'e, three women less than eighteen years old, in this deep palace.

He went, Rong Ma handsome, I don't know which day is the return date, even though the palace is majestic, picturesque, there is no Lang Jun on the side, Guanyin guards this empty palace, there is also the loneliness that can not be dismissed.

Looking out the window at the autumn leaves turning yellow and the autumn rain dripping, Guanyin was thinking, how to enrich these difficult days after Li Shimin left?

------

When Li Shimin was leaving, he once told Guanyin that when he was not in Beijing, he asked Guanyin to visit Li Yuan more and fulfill his son's filial piety on his behalf.

Since Guanyin moved into the palace, she also wanted to visit the Wanchun Hall where Li Yuan lived, but there were too many rules in the palace, and she and Li Yuan rarely met.

------

Since following Li Yuan from Hedong Li's Manor to Chang'an, Li Shimin and Guanyin have been accompanying Li Yuan to serve on Li Yuan's side in the past few years. Li Yuan and Guanyin have a deep relationship and are like father and daughter. Guanyin didn't see Li Yuan for a long time, and she was also very worried.

She thought in her heart that she would visit Li Yuan in the past two days, but if she thought about it carefully, it was always a little inappropriate for her daughter-in-law to go to see her uncle alone.

The so-called uncle-in-law was the name of the son-in-law to her father-in-law at that time.

------

Guanyin thought in her heart, if she went to see her uncle Li Yuan, she would just politely bow and ask a few innocuous words of concern, which would not be much different from not visiting. If you want to sit down and talk about family affection, but how can there be a suitable topic between the uncle and the son-in-law?

Guanyin thought about it, but it was not appropriate to do it, so she thought of asking Wan Guifei for advice.

------

Hearing that Guanyin was going to see Wan Guifei, Qin Lan persuaded Guanyin to take a step over.

Guanyin did not follow the Tao, "From the Chengqing Hall to the Qianqiu Palace, there are only four or five hundred steps in total, so why use the step chariot again?"

Qin Lan insisted, "Now that Niangniang has a body, she must be careful in everything, in case of a mistake, the slave and maid can't afford to be guilty."

Guanyin smiled and blamed Qin Lan, "How can my body be so delicate? I heard that when a woman has a body, she should move around more, and not use her chariot at every turn. It makes people think that I have not been in the palace for a few days, and I have become a powerful man."

Qin Lan couldn't resist Guanyin, so she had to accompany Guanyin and Shiqin to walk to the Qianqiu Hall to see Wan Guifei.

------

Guanyin usually doesn't have much to do, but Wan Guifei is a little busy all day long.

Since Li Yuan had just been proclaimed emperor, the concubines in the palace had not yet been canonized, and in such a large palace, things were very complicated, and the smaller things were handled by the three "Shangshu" in the palace, and important matters had to be taken by Wan Guifei.

------

In the past, when Yang Guang was in power, he often toured the Quartet, in addition to often stationed in the eastern capital Luoyang and Jiangdu, various palaces were all over the country. In essence, Chang'an's Daxing Palace is almost in a state of semi-desolation.

Because Yang Guang does not stay often, the management of Daxing Palace is very chaotic, and the rules of various palaces are no longer polite.

As the saying goes, it is easy to change from chaos to chaos, but it is difficult to change from chaos to chaos. It's the same in the palace, once all kinds of rules are messed up, if you want to correct them, you can't just say it.

After Li Yuan became emperor, he really had to work hard to straighten out all the faces of the square masters in the palace.

------

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the officials in the harem followed the Sui system, and set up one concubine, one concubine, one concubine, one wife, and one product.

Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan each have one person, nine concubines, and two products.

Then there are the twenty-seventh women: Jieyu nine people, three products; There are nine beauties, and there are four products; There are nine talented people, and there are five products.

Here are eighty-one royal wives: twenty-seven people in Baolin, six products; There are twenty-seven royal maids, and there are seven products; There are twenty-seven women, and there are eight products.

According to the internal official office, when the emperor's concubines are full, it is one hundred and twenty-two.

Because, the position of the high rank is limited, unless it is to give birth to a prince or princess, or to be particularly favored, the emperor generally will not easily canonize a female official above the rank of a woman. Therefore, those palace people who are waiting for the emperor's favor can only be in the ranks of eighty-one royal wives.

------

Among the internal officials, in addition to the emperor's concubines, there were also palace officials.

The palace officials are all served by women, and there are three bureaus of Shangxue, Shangshi, and Shanggong, and two people each of Shangyu, Shangshi, and Shanggong, which are the five products.

There are 12 divisions, 12 canons, and 12 palms under the three Shangs.

The Shang Sleep Bureau and the Shang Gong Bureau are located in the Qianhua Gate, the South Courtyard of the Lizheng Palace, and the Shang Food Bureau is located in the east of the Wude Palace.

------

In addition to the three Shang, there is one person in the palace and five products; Si Zheng two people, six products; Two people, seven products.

Gong Zheng is in charge of precepts, corrections, and punishments. For the palace people who do not fulfill their duties, the division will make a judgment according to the situation, and the small matters will be punished, and the major events will be heard.

------

Now there is no queen, and there is only one concubine, Wan Guifei.

As the only lady in the palace, Wan Guifei is in charge of the harem and is troubled by all kinds of complicated affairs all day long.

All aspects of the palace must be straightened out again, and Concubine Wan Guifei sees that Guanyin is smart and capable, and whenever she encounters a tricky matter, she will discuss it with Guanyin.

------

Yesterday, Li Shimin went on the expedition, Guanyin was a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't come, today Guanyin came over early in the morning, Wan Guifei asked her with concern, "Erlang went on the expedition yesterday, is Ah Wan a little reluctant?"

After Guanyin saluted Concubine Wan, she sat down opposite her and said a little shyly, "It's common for us to do this, and we can't trap him in the palace for the sake of women."

Wan Guifei looked at Guanyin and smiled slightly, "It's still a sensible woman who knows what's important."

------

After gossiping for a while, Guanyin told Wan Guifei her plans, "Auntie, I want to ask you something today."

Wan Guifei grabbed a few new dates from the food box and handed them to Guanyin, "You taste this year's new dates, they taste sweet and crispy. If there is anything, the maid just says, as long as the aunt knows, she will tell you everything."

Guanyin took the new jujube handed over by Wan Guifei, and first took it in her hand and looked at it, the jujube was the size of a pigeon's egg, most of the appearance had grown red, and some of it was blue. She picked one up and took a bite, it was really sweet and crispy, chewing slowly, the flesh was delicate, and there was no dregs.

------

Guanyin took a bite and didn't eat any more, she tasted the taste of new jujubes, and asked Wan Guifei, "When King Qin left, he told Ah Wan to visit Grandpa more, Ah Wan is worried, and the daughter-in-law goes to see her uncle, where will she have something to say?"

Wan Guifei looked at Guanyin with a smile and boasted, "Erlang still has filial piety, and he still remembers his father before leaving. Grandma can't live up to Erlang's heart, so you just do what he said, and often go to see Grandpa."

She then sighed, "This palace looks magnificent, but your grandfather actually lives alone in the Wanchun Palace, and there is actually no relatives around him. Ordinary people, like your grandfather's age, are all children and grandchildren around their knees, teasing their grandchildren. But although your grandfather is served by palace people, he can't enjoy the family that ordinary people deserve."

------

Guanyin said helplessly, "In Jinyang before, I often talked to Grandpa, but when I entered the palace, there were all kinds of rules, from Chengqing Hall to Wanchun Palace, I had to walk two miles, and I always felt a lot of inconvenience when I walked such a long way to see Grandpa."

Concubine Wan didn't speak, she muttered silently for a while, and then said, "The prince lives in the East Palace, which is farther away from your grandfather, Shiro is in Jinyang, and Erlang led the troops out to fight yesterday. If you think about it carefully, in this palace, only you and I are your grandfather's family."

Wan Guifei didn't say it, Guanyin really didn't realize this, if she didn't go to visit Li Yuan, Li Yuan would see all outsiders every day.

------

Guanyin was a little frightened when she thought about it carefully, no wonder since ancient times, emperors were often confused by traitors, it was because they were difficult to get the attention of their families, so they would rely more on those who said sweet words to them.

The saddest thing is that many emperors are not close to their children and grandchildren, but to those treacherous villains.
