The resolute man is Huo Shengzhe, the first emperor. His father was originally the leader of the Jiuli tribe, and he rose up because he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Qin state. However, his knowledge and courage were limited, he only held the emperor hostage, and gave himself a righteous feudal lord, and he and the other four feudal feudal states checked and balanced each other. A restless brother, also killed the little emperor, and then unified the rivers and mountains, ascended the throne, changed the country's name to "Wei", and honored the title to "Sheng Yuan", implying that he was the first holy monarch who pioneered the world.
This shows how arrogant Huo Shengzhe is and how self-respecting he is.
Although he was a barbarian, he loved Han culture very much. He had superior political and military comprehension and talent. Although he had never ruled a country, he knew that as an emperor, the most important thing was not to do things by himself, but to be good at discovering and using talents. At the same time, it is necessary to find the right way to govern the country.
After experiencing the war of heroes in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the tyranny and fragmentation of the Qin Dynasty, almost every hero who wants to be king or a literati chivalrous person who tries to save the common people is thinking about the same question - how to govern the country? They were either for personal gain or for the common people, and the theories of the hundreds of schools of thought were greatly promoted as a result.
Legalism, Zajia, Taoism, Mohism, and Confucianism came on stage one after another, and they also sent their disciples to visit various vassal states to lobby, and made many attempts, and the most successful of them was undoubtedly the Legalist. After Huo Shengzhe learned Chinese characters, the first article he read was Han Feizi's "Five Beetles". time to study. On the other hand, the classics of the Confucian school have long been thrown away by him.
Hearing that there will be a debate between Legalism and Confucianism at Jueyin Temple, he rushed over to listen in a hurry despite the wind and snow, intending to look for a few available talents.
The white-faced and beardless old man was named Bai Fu. He was one of the inner servants left by the previous emperor. Because of his outstanding ability and good at observing words and expressions, he was fortunate to be favored by Emperor Shengyuan, and he was a regular attendant in the middle of officials. Seeing that the master only sent dead men to investigate the grandfather and grandson of the Guan family, but never mentioned the few legal scholars who had performed outstandingly just now, he was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask more. The temper of this new master is extremely changeable, sometimes stern and straightforward, sometimes vicious, sometimes open-minded, sometimes refined and gentle, and even the most seasoned courtier can play in the palm of his hand, which is unfathomable. Wanting to guess what he was thinking, not to mention that Bai Fu was only fifty years old, it would be useless to live another fifty years.
The holy car came and returned in a hurry, but no one knew. As soon as he entered the Weiyang Palace, the dead man had already sent a secret letter, which recorded all the circumstances of the Guan family and their relatives in the five clothes. Huo Shengzhe looked at it for a long time, and sighed, "Having both talent and virtue, a clean family background, and a loyal and upright personality, Guan Qiguang can be of great use." He picked up the brush and wrote two edicts in handwriting with iron and silver hooks, thinking about it. Feeling insufficient, the word "Guan Suyi" was added to the list of candidates for beauty.
Bai Fu secretly took a deep breath. For a while, he became enlightened, and then he felt more puzzled: the emperor was planning to lift the Guan family. Not only did he order the Guan family's father and son to enter office, but also the Guan family's direct daughter into the harem. This greater grace. However, he used to respect Legalism so much, but now he doesn't mention it. What exactly does he want to do? What are you trying to achieve
When others were pondering, Huo Shengzhe had already put the two edicts into the cassette, and then he spread a piece of brocade and wrote carefully and slowly. As a regular attendant in the middle, Bai Fu knew a few words, and after a brief glance, he was stunned, only to see this sentence extended from the black ink - to promote the Confucian family, to suppress a hundred families.
Bai Fu blinked his eyes quickly, and finally realized that the way to govern the country that the emperor wanted to promote and implement was not legalism, but Confucianism. how come
When Bai Fu sighed that Emperor Sheng Yuan was unpredictable, a little Huangmen who looked inconspicuous sneaked into Ganquan Palace, and reported the matter of the emperor's Bailongyu suit and the secret investigation of Guan's family to the woman above. The woman is in her early thirties, but she is very well maintained, her skin is delicate and her face is beautiful, her pale lips and slightly frowning eyebrows show that she seems to be ill, and her gestures are full of weak and pitiful amorous feelings. Much pity.
She is Ye Zhen, the most favored concubine of Emperor Shengyuan, who was just named Jieyu, only two steps away from the queen's position. Emperor Sheng Yuan has been fighting outside all year round, and he has no time or mind to find a woman. Although he is now on the throne, he is busy with government affairs, and even more so. His harem's concubines and concubines are full of slaps, and several of them were chosen and accepted by the queen mother on her own initiative, and they have never met.
Because Ye Zhen had saved his life for him, and he also had unspeakable humiliation towards Ye Zhen, so his attitude was very different. The woman next to her was still waiting in 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 that Ye Zhen has neither Zhaoyi nor the Empress, except for the Empress Dowager's Changle Palace, the rest of the palaces have to follow her lead and drive a few small yellow gates, even if the small yellow gates are by the emperor's side, it is easy. The dead man was only responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. The emperor didn't say anything about the investigation. Naturally, they would not follow and monitor an inconspicuous eunuch.
"Oh? You said that the emperor added the name of the Guan family's direct daughter to the Xunfang Record?" Ye Zhen's beautiful eyes opened slightly, and the lazy and tender body reclining on the soft couch finally sat up straight .
"This matter is absolutely true, madam! That Xunfanglu was handed over to Ye Tingcheng by the slave, and I will never read it wrong. The word 'Guan Suyi' was not originally on the list, but now it is added in the first place. , it is undoubtedly the handwriting of the emperor." Xiao Huangmen is a direct disciple of Bai Fu, and naturally some sources know these secrets.
Every August, the beauty pageant fills the harem, which is a rule left over from the previous dynasty. The queen mother has said that she will continue to use it, and the emperor will naturally not push the beauty out in vain. Because it was the first time on a business trip, Dr. Zhong and Ye Tingcheng did not dare to neglect, they searched for four or five months before submitting the list. .
The top ten on the list are all the noble girls of the Jiuli tribe personally selected by the Queen Mother. Their bloodline has surpassed others. Ye Zhen has no way to refute it, but how sacred is this "Guan Suyi"? superior
She sent Xiao Huangmen away and said in a deep voice, "Yong He, give my father a message and ask him to check this Guan Suyi."
The Jiuli people are all soldiers, as long as they are given a big sword, no matter men, women or children, they can go into battle. Therefore, most of the women in the tribe are strong, bold in words and deeds, and do not have the gentleness of the Central Plains women. Ye Zhen is not afraid to face these vulgar people who don't know a single big character. No matter what, she is also the most beautiful and talented woman in the Central Plains. As long as the men in the world are not blind, they will never abandon beautiful jade and become dross. Furthermore, Emperor Shengyuan admired Sinology very much, and only she in the harem could understand what he was talking about and what he was thinking. He often praises her as Jie Yuhua, which shows that this is her biggest advantage in the harem.
However, the old lady of the Queen Mother couldn't see that she was the only one in the Six Palaces, and she actually proposed to select concubines from the two ethnic groups. When more Han women who are full of poetry and books and full of talents come in, can she maintain this specialness? ? Thinking of this, Ye Zhen felt a little flustered in her heart, her fingertips touched her cheek unconsciously, and slowly calmed down.
She lacked confidence in her own talents, because the name of "the first talented woman" was passed down from the army. Those Jiuli soldiers didn't even know Chinese characters. But when it comes to looks, it's not that Ye Zhen is boasting. In her thirty years of life, she has never seen a woman more beautiful than herself.
"If the emperor doesn't even like you, who else can he like? Ye Zhen, don't panic, the emperor will definitely belong to you, and that position will also belong to you. Everything you gave up and suffered will be worth it in the end. ." After the palace maid took the order and left, Ye Zhen muttered to herself and walked to the window to stare at the Jiaofang Hall, her eyes filled with wild hopes.
------
After living in Jueyin Temple for about a month, the newly purchased house of the Guan family was finally repaired, and they chose an auspicious 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 illusions generated in the mirror of reincarnation can reach the point where the fakes become real, but she didn't want to miss any chance to change her destiny. This time, she will never step into Zhao's house, and she doesn't want to see Zhao Luli even once.
As soon as the luggage was neatly arranged, Guan's mother, Zhong Cailing, sent her maid to call her, saying that she had something important to discuss. Guan Suyi knew what she wanted to say, and sighed inwardly.
After entering the upper room, Mrs. Zhong handed over a few posts, "Because my mother-in-law passed away, I had to observe filial piety for three years. With this delay, you will be eighteen before you know it, and you have already missed a life-long event. I originally wanted to stay with your father. I picked a few of my disciples with good morals, but I didn't expect the old man to suddenly decide to go north to Yanjing. Right now, we don't know each other well, so I can't imagine it, and you can't be delayed as you get older, and your mother can only show you more. It’s good to see each other at a few gatherings. You can pick and choose these posts first, all of them are the sons of the right age in the family, the second son of the Zhou family…”
Listening to her mother's incessant remarks, Guan Suyi's eyes dimmed, recalling the past. In his last life, Zhao Luli saw her at a certain banquet. Originally, based on the family background of the Guan family, it was absolutely impossible to climb up to a high-level and deep house like Zhenbeihou. The parents and grandfather were hesitant at first, but they gladly agreed after examining Zhao Luli's talent and character. However, after passing the door, she realized that what Zhao Luli was looking for was her humble family background and knowledgeable temperament. What he was looking for was not a wife, but a servant who specially took care of his children and served his mother.
It's ridiculous that she did everything he asked, and what she got in return was not sincerity, but malice, even mutilation. Now that it's all over again, she doesn't want revenge, she just wants the years to be good. As for who should be Mrs. Zhenbeihou in this life? Who do you love, what does it have to do with her
