Chapter 67: The Tang Dynasty Harem Hierarchy

"I regret listening to Li Linfu's traitorous words! I regret listening to the words of the Wu family's slut. ”

According to the information sent back by the spies, Li Linfu is already Li Mao's right-hand man, almost with him.

When Li Longji mentioned this person, he began to grit his teeth.

In the past, the people he trusted the most were Gao Lishi, Chen Xuanli, and Li Linfu.

Now these three, two are dead and one is betrayed.

This is all because of Li Mao, but also because of Concubine Wu Hui.

"When I recover Chang'an, I will definitely capture Li Mao and Li Linfu alive."

"You must cut them with a thousand knives in order to eliminate the hatred in your heart!"

Li Longji's face was bruised, and he reached out and grabbed a handful of polished rice from the warehouse, and pinched it vigorously, as if he wanted to pinch the rice in his hand into powder.

Niu Xianke hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty, the minister will definitely be the first to do it when the time comes." ”

At this moment, a figure in armor ran over at great speed.

"Your Majesty......"

Li Longji smiled slightly after seeing the person coming, "Wang Qing, what's the matter?" ”

The person who came was Wang Zhengjian, the general of Tongguan.

Originally, Li Longji planned to cut him directly after arriving in Luoyang.

Just on the way to Luoyang, Wang Zhengjian had already discovered the emperor's thoughts.

He clearly knew why Li Mao rebelled, and he also knew that the emperor was a womanizer.

So when there was a life crisis, Wang Zhengjian immediately thought of the idea of doing what he wanted.

On the night he escaped from Tongguan, Wang Zhengjian personally went to the surrounding farmers' homes and snatched out three young girls.

Li Longji, who had not opened meat for several days, was very happy when he saw three women, and he had no intention of killing Wang Zhengjian anymore.

Wang Zheng saw that sending women had an effect, and as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he searched for beauties everywhere.

This is also the reason why he did not follow Li Longji all the time.

"Your Majesty, the minister found a pair of beautiful sisters on the streets of Luoyang today." Wang Zhengjian's face was full of obscene smiles.

"Haha!"

Li Longji was affected by him and laughed.

But in a blink of an eye, he saw the ox cyclamen in front of him, and the guards who were looking at him with very strange eyes, and immediately put away his obscene expression.

"Get here today! I still have important business, so I'll go back to the palace first. Li Longji said.

The little eunuch immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, drive back to the palace." ”

The guards hurriedly prepared the guard of honor, and the group walked towards the Luoyang Palace.

The cow cyclamen couldn't help but pout in the crowd.

He watched Emperor Li Longji's mediocrity win better day by day, and he regretted a little in his heart that he fled with him.

If he hadn't thought that there were still hundreds of thousands of elite troops, he would have wanted to sneak back to Chang'an.

After all, his old wife and young daughter are still there.

Niu Xianke still doesn't know that his daughter Niu Yuwei has become Li Mao's concubine.

Just now.

Li Mao finally remembered the twenty-four women who were left in the Hall of Eternal Life.

"The slave family knocks on Your Majesty!"

Twenty-four warblers and swallows shouted in unison, and their voices were crisp, like birdsong.

The atmosphere of Datang is extremely open.

The most obvious manifestation of this is in the clothing.

Even though the weather is very cold now, these twenty-four people are still half-bare.

"Let's all go down!" Li Mao's heart was hot, and he hurriedly drove away the eunuch Zhao Gao who followed.

"Slaves obey!"

Zhao Gao walked at the end and closed the door of the Hall of Eternal Life with his own hands.

As soon as the door closed, the light in the Hall of Eternal Life suddenly dimmed.

Under the illumination of candlelight, the pretty faces are mixed with light and dark, with joy, helplessness, sadness, and resentment.

Among them, the person with the most resentful face is Niu Yuwei.

Li Mao strode forward, lifted her chin lightly, and said in a tone that seemed to be angry, "What's your name?" Why are you still upset when I'm here? ”

Niu Yuwei heard that the handsome man in front of her didn't even remember his name, and the resentment on her face became even more obvious.

"Humph!"

Li Mao pretended to be angry, and gently tapped her forehead with her fingers, "If you don't say your name, I will punish you later!" ”

In fact, Li Mao remembers Niu Yuwei's name.

The former prime minister, and the daughter of a celebrity in front of Li Longji, how could he not remember?

The reason why he did this was entirely because Niu Yuwei's angry appearance was so good-looking.

It's no worse than Yang Yuhuan who laughed at all.

The styles of these two women are completely different, one is good-looking with a smile, and the other is a resentful look that makes people feel pity.

Niu Yuwei covered her forehead and said angrily: "Your Majesty, why are you teasing the slave family? ”

She also just figured out that it was impossible for Li Mao not to remember herself, after all, her identity was here, she was the daughter of Prime Minister Niu Xianke, not an unknown petty official like other women in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Mao saw that her mind was seen through, and she didn't get angry, she still smiled and said: "You are really smart, I will make you a virtuous concubine!" ”

The harem system of the Tang Dynasty was that there were four ladies under the queen, the noble concubine, the lady concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine.

There are nine concubines under the four ladies, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan.

Under the nine concubines, there are nine Jieyu, nine beauties, and nine talented people, called the twenty-seventh woman.

There are twenty-seven Baolin, twenty-seven maids, and twenty-seven maidens under the twenty-seven wives, collectively known as the eighty-one wives.

When the other women in the Hall of Eternal Life saw Niu Yuwei being named a concubine, their faces suddenly showed envy.

Someone who dared immediately said: "Your Majesty, what about me? ”

"What about me? The slave family also wants a title. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't favor one over the other!"

Between women, as long as one person speaks up for something like this, the others will definitely follow suit.

Li Mao immediately felt like she was in the midst of the fragrance of flowers and birds.

Smelling the constant fragrance of the girl, he waved his hand in a comfortable mood and said loudly: "Don't worry, I won't forget you, so I'll make you a girl!" ”

This is also one of the purposes for Li Mao to come here today.

After all, if you want the fathers of these women to do things with peace of mind, you have to give them a name.

The reason why Niu Yuwei was able to get the rank of a virtuous concubine was entirely because her father was still in an important position on Li Longji's side.

Other women are different, their fathers are some middle-level officials of four or five grades.

If their grades are high, it may affect the stability of the DPRK and China.

"The slave family has thanked Your Majesty!"

A neat and crisp voice sounded, and they also knew that Emperor Chrysostom would not change it easily.

Even if they are not satisfied with the grade of the women they have to wear, no one with intellectual disabilities jumps out to complain.

Li Mao also knew what they were thinking, and in order to be able to play happily later, she smiled and promised: "Whoever can give birth to a prince for me, then I will raise her grade." ”

When the woman in the hall heard this, her eyes immediately became like a hungry wolf, and she rushed towards Li Mao.
