Who Cares

The resolute man is exactly Huo Shengzhe who first proclaimed himself emperor. His father was originally the leader of the Jiuli tribe, but he rose up because of his dissatisfaction with the tyranny of the Qin State. He wiped out or annexed all forces all the way and eventually became the hegemon of the Central Plains. However, his knowledge and courage were limited. He only held the Son of Heaven, and made himself a prince with a righteous prince, and he checked and balanced with the other four princes, and had nothing to do with each other. This restless brother also killed the little emperor, and then unified the rivers and mountains, ascended to the throne, changed the country's name to "Wei" and the honorary title to "Sheng Yuan", implying that he was the first sage to pioneer the world.

This shows how arrogant and self-reliant Huo Shengzhe is.

Although he came from a barbarian, he loves Han culture very much. He possesses superior insight and talent in politics and military affairs. Although he has never governed the country, he understands that as an emperor, the most important thing is not to do it himself, but to be good at discovering and using talents. At the same time, we must find the right way to govern the country.

After experiencing the struggle for hegemony among the warlords during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and the tyranny and fragmentation of the Qin period, almost every hero who wants to be king or a literati and warrior who tries to save the common people is thinking about the same question-how to govern the country? They are either for personal gain or for the people of Li people, and the doctrines of the philosophers and hundreds of schools have also been greatly promoted.

Fajia, Zajia, Taoism, Mohism, and Confucianism have appeared one after another, and they have also sent disciples to visit various vassal states to lobby and have made many attempts. Among them, the most successful is undoubtedly the Fajia. Since Huo Shengzhe learned Chinese characters, the first article he read was Han Feizi's "Five Beetles". At that time, he was shocked and shocked. He immediately collected all of the legalist classics. Even if the government is busy, he will draw two out every day. Time to delve into it. Looking back at the classics of the Confucian school, he no longer knew where he had thrown them.

Hearing that the Juoyin Temple will hold a debate between Legalism and Confucianism, he immediately hurried over to observe in the wind and snow, planning to find a few usable talents.

The white-faced old man called Baifu, who was one of the servants left by the emperor of the previous dynasty. Because of his outstanding ability and good at observing words and colors, he was fortunate to be favored by Emperor Sheng Yuan and served as a regular servant. Seeing that his master only sent dead men to investigate the two grandfathers and grandchildren, but never mentioned the few scholars who had just performed outstandingly, he was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more. The new master's temper is extremely changeable, sometimes staunch and straightforward, sometimes vicious, sometimes open-minded and open-minded, sometimes elegant and gentle, and even a seasoned courtier can play in the palm of his hand, which is unfathomable. Wanting to guess what he was thinking, Bai Fu was only fifty years old, and it would be useless to live another fifty years.

Shengjia came and returned in a hurry, and no one knew that as soon as he entered the Weiyang Palace, the dead man had already given a secret letter, which recorded all the circumstances of the Guan family and his relatives in the Wufu family. Huo Shengzhe looked at it for a long time, and sighed, "With both talents and virtues, innocent family background, and loyalty, Guan Qiguang can use it a lot." After speaking, he raised the brush and wrote two edicts with the handwriting of iron and silver hooks, thinking about it. Feeling insufficient, the three words "Guan Suyi" were added to the list of candidates for beauties.

Bai Fu secretly took a breath, and for a while he realized, and then for a while, he felt more puzzled: the emperor was planning to promote the Guan family. Not only did he order the Guan family's father and son to be official, he also included the Guan family's daughter into the harem. This greater grace. However, he used to admire the Legalists so much, but now he doesn't mention a word, what on earth do he want to do? What are you trying to achieve?

When others wondered for themselves, Huo Shengzhe had put two edicts into a cassette, then spread a piece of brocade and wrote carefully and slowly. As a Zhong Chang attendant, Bai Fu knew a few words quite a bit, and was stunned after a short glance, only to see the black ink spreading out such a sentence-Ming Kong's family, suppressing Baijia.

Baifu blinked his eyes quickly, and finally understood that the rule of the country that the emperor wanted to promote and practice was not legalist thinking, but Confucianism. how come?

When Bai Fu secretly sighed that Emperor Sheng Yuan was unpredictable, an unremarkable little yellow door sneaked into Ganquan Palace and reported the emperor's white dragon fish suit and secretly checked the family to the head woman. The woman is in her early thirties, but she is well maintained, her skin is delicate, her face is beautiful, her pale lips and frowning eyebrows show that she seems to be ill, and her gestures and feet are full of frail and pitiful amorous feelings. Feel pity for it.

She is the most beloved concubine Ye Zhen of Emperor Shengyuan, who has just been named Jieyu, only two steps away from the position of the queen. The Emperor Sheng Yuan spent years on expeditions outside the country, and had no time or mind to find a woman. Although he is now on the throne, he is busy with government affairs, and the dragon is even more invisible. His concubines in the harem are full of calculations but they can't be slapped, and several of them were selected by the queen mother on her own initiative, and have not seen each other so far.

Because Ye Zhen had a life-saving grace for him, and he had an unspeakable shame to Ye Zhen, his attitude was very different. The woman next to her was still watching the hidden mansion, so he immediately connected Ye Zhen to Yanjing, giving her a high position and real power, and even the Queen Mother passed over.

Now Ye Zhen has neither Zhaoyi nor queen above him. Except for the Changle Palace of the Queen Mother, all other palaces have to look forward to her head and drive several small yellow gates, even if the small yellow gate is by the emperor's side, it is easy. The dead men were only responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. The emperor didn't talk about investigating, so naturally they would not follow and monitor an inconspicuous eunuch.

"Oh? You said that the emperor added the name of Guan's prostitute to Xunfang Lu?" Ye Zhen's beautiful eyes opened slightly, and the lazy body leaning on the soft couch finally sat upright. .

"This is absolutely true, my mother! That Xunfanglu was handed over to Ye Tingcheng by a slave, and he will never be mistaken. The original list did not contain the word'Guan Suyi', but now it is added at the first place. , It is the handwriting of the emperor without a doubt." Xiaohuangmen is a direct disciple of Baifu, and naturally some sources have learned these secrets.

It is a rule left over from the previous dynasty to fill up the harem by a wide selection of beauties in August every year. Because it was the first time to do an errand, the Chinese doctor and Ye Ting Cheng didn't dare to neglect, they searched for four or five months to submit the list, and hurriedly let the newcomer into the palace a year ago, warmed the emperor's quilt, and opened the branches and leaves. .

The top ten on the list are all the noble ladies of the Jiuli ethnic group personally selected by the Queen Mother. Their pedigree has overshadowed others. Ye Zhen cannot refute it, but how sacred this "Guan Suyi" is, it actually weighs on the heads of many noble ladies. superior?

She sent away the little yellow door, and said in deep thought, "Yinghe, bring a message to my father, so that he can check this Guan Suyi carefully."

All the people of the Jiuli nationality are soldiers, and as long as a sword is given, both men and women of all ages can go into battle. Therefore, most of the women in the tribe are stout and bold in words and deeds, without the gentle and freehand brushwork of the women of the Central Plains. In the face of these vulgar people who don't know a big character, Ye Zhen is not afraid, no matter how much she is the number one beauty in the Central Plains, and also the number one talented woman, as long as the world's men are not blind, they will never abandon the beautiful jade and make dross. Furthermore, Emperor Sheng Yuan admired Sinology very much, and only she in the harem could understand what he was talking about and what he was thinking. He often praised her as Jie Yuhua, which shows that this is her biggest advantage in the harem.

However, the old pious queen mother could not see her doting on the sixth house alone, and she proposed to choose concubines from the two races. Waiting for more Han women who have studied poetry and learned to come in, can she keep this special? ? Thinking of this, Ye Zhen felt a little flustered in his heart, stroked his cheek unconsciously with his fingertips, and slowly calmed down.

She lacks confidence in her talents, because Gein's name as the "first talented woman" was passed down from the army. The soldiers of the Jiuli nationality didn't even know Chinese characters, so how did she know what the real "Wu Chai" is? But when it comes to looks, it's not that Ye Zhen is boasting. After thirty years of life, she has never seen a woman who looks more beautiful than herself.

"If the emperor doesn’t even look down on you, who else can he look at? Ye Zhen, don’t panic, the emperor will definitely belong to you, and that position will definitely belong to you. Everything you throw away and everything you endure will be worth it. "After waiting for the maid to leave, Ye Zhen muttered to himself as he walked to the window and stared at the Jiaofang Hall, his eyes full of wild hope.

After living in the Juoyin Temple for about a month, the newly-purchased house of the Guan family was finally repaired, and he chose a lucky day to move in. Guan Suyi paced back and forth in the newly furnished boudoir, with a confused and nostalgic expression on her face.

After more than 30 days of repeated verification, she gradually confirmed the fact that she had been reborn. Perhaps the illusion produced in the mirror of reincarnation can also reach the point of being fake, but she didn't want to miss any chance to change her destiny. This time, she would never step into Zhao's house, and she didn't want to see Zhao Luli even one side.

As soon as she put her luggage in order, Guan Mu Zhong Cailing sent her servant to call her, saying that she had something to discuss. Guan Suyi knew what she wanted to say, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After entering the Shangfang, Zhong passed a few posts over, "Because the mother-in-law passed away, it took three years of filial piety. This delay, unknowingly, you are eighteen, and you have missed a lifelong event. I originally wanted to be with your father. Among my disciples, I picked a few of good morals, but I didn’t expect that the old lady suddenly decided to go north to Yenching. Right now we are unfamiliar with the land, which is really unthinkable, and your age is getting older and can’t be delayed, so my mother can only take you to attend more. I have been together a few times and look at each other. You can pick and choose these posts first. They all have a son of the right age in the family, the second son of the Zhou family..."

Listening to her mother's endless narration, Guan Suyi's eyes wandered, remembering the past. In his previous life, Zhao Luli had fallen in love with her at a certain banquet. Originally, based on the family background of the Guan family, it was absolutely impossible to climb into a high-end and deep house like Zhenbeihou. The parents and grandfather were also very hesitant at first, and only agreed with Zhao Luli's talents and personality after examining Zhao Luli's talents and personality. However, after passing the door, she knew that what Zhao Luli was fond of was her humble family background and knowledgeable temperament. What he wanted was not a wife, but a servant who would take care of his children and serve his mother.

It's ridiculous that she did everything he asked for, not sincere, but malicious, even cruel. Now that it's all over again, she doesn't want to take revenge, she just hopes the years will be well. As for Mrs. Zhenbeihou in this life, who should be? Who do you love, what to do with her?
