When the whole Luoyang was in an uproar because of Lu Bu and his daughter, Cao Bao brought out the concubine system.

Overall, not much has changed from now.

Counting the queen, the new concubines will be divided into seven levels.

Below the Queen is Zhaoyi. If compared to those in the court, the Queen is the Emperor and Zhaoyi is the Prime Minister. Therefore, Zhaoyi has a very high status in the inner court and can manage almost all affairs in the inner palace.

The remuneration is naturally quite high, with the same remuneration as that of a prince, and he can receive routine wages every month. Liu Xuan doesn't care about this. In fact, there is not much room for spending in the palace. These women have received the money.

, it is estimated that more of it is used to reward the maids and these eunuchs-this group of people occasionally have the opportunity to leave the palace, and they have the opportunity to spend money.

Below Zhaoyi is the imperial concubine. In fact, Liu Xuan was confused for a while whether Zhaoyi was on top or the imperial concubine was on top? Because when later generations watched TV dramas, when they opened their mouths and shut up, it was the imperial concubine. I always felt that this imperial concubine should be very awesome.

In fact, it is almost the same. According to the later system, the imperial concubine ranked first in the inner court and was the most powerful person under the queen. If it were at other times, forget it, but Zhaoyi was still in the old rank of the Han Dynasty, and her status was still the same.

Emperor Wu decided to give some face to his cheap ancestor, and finally the imperial concubine was ranked third.

At the same time, according to Liu Xuan's idea, the fact that there is only one queen cannot be changed, and Zhaoyi will generally be granted to only one person, or at most two people. Two people is the limit, no more.

On the other hand, for the position of imperial concubine, maybe a few more can be sealed, but not too many, otherwise the family will be in chaos.

The best way is of course one carrot and one pit, but Liu Xuan was too lazy to make so many pits, so he made such a rule under Cao Bao's slightly helpless expression.

"Then the assistant minister is divided into the left and right assistant ministers, so it's the same thing!"

Below the imperial concubines are the nobles. The concubines who were originally the highest level under the queen have now fallen to this level. However, considering that the nobles are not that high in the original system of concubines of the Han Dynasty. It’s just that Emperor Guangwu cut it too hard. The nobles’

His status just jumped up.

The restriction on the number of nobles is even lower. If it is not easy to seal noble concubines randomly, then nobles are not so particular. Basically, anyone who the emperor likes can be crowned a noble. As for whether it can go further, it depends.

personal ability.

Below the nobles, there are Rong Hua, talented people and beauties. Beauties are considered to be the lowest level in the concubine hierarchy, but their treatment has been improved than before.

First of all, Liu Xuan determined the level of the beauty and arranged the salary accordingly. Unlike before, the beauty could only rely on making the emperor happy and then receive the reward. Normally, there was no money or food to receive except normal meals.

At present, Liu Xuan and other women are basically beauties. If it weren't for Liu Xuan being very gentle to all the women, he doesn't have much preference in normal times. In addition, the number of concubines in the harem is not large, and there is no need for several women to fight for it.

Fighting for favor and fighting - more importantly, because there is no need to worry about heirs, women have one more reason to fight.

When Liu Xuan brought them into the palace, he made it clear that he would not have children!

Although the women seemed a little disappointed, it was not incomprehensible. In addition, they did not have to worry about other people being favored because of their children or being ostracized by other women because of their pregnancy. So after so many years,

It was very pleasant to get along.

Also, after Liu Xuan focused his attention on a few women, it was impossible for them to have a bad life just because they had no wages. After all, there were only a few women in the harem, and the emperor would tell anyone who had a bad life at a glance.

It can be seen that no blind eunuch and maid dare to offend these few. Not only do they serve them carefully, but their food and drinks are basically the same as those of the queen.

In this environment, it doesn't matter whether they have wages or not. Besides, they have less places to use money. When they want to use it, they can just ask Cao Bao to arrange it.

Therefore, although all the girls are of the same level as beauties, their lives are no different from those of queens, so naturally there is no dissatisfaction.

But in the future, it is uncertain. After listening to Cao Bao's advice, Liu Xuan also understood that there will definitely be more and more women in the palace, and the level of beauty itself is too low and the treatment is too poor. He will be distracted in the future.

Once more things happen, if you don’t notice them, problems will arise.

Rather than waiting for problems to arise and then solving them, it is better to take countermeasures early, such as determining the treatment of all the girls.

For example, when the level of the concubines is determined, the first thing to do is to promote Diao Chan and Zhen Mi to noble concubines, while the Qiao sisters and Huang Yueying are also promoted to nobles.

This promotion is basically based on the order of entry into the palace, so the girls are unlikely to be dissatisfied. Although Huang Yueying really established her status not long ago, she helped Liu Xuan the most, and she even had a full-time position in the court.

As an official, naturally no one would object.

As for the vacant Zhaoyi, it is to give the girls a head start. Whoever can be of sufficient help to him in the future can also use this to determine his status among the girls.

As for the remaining talented women, beauties, etc... just leave them vacant for now, and there will be an arrangement for whichever woman you like in the future when they are recruited into the palace.

In the end, Liu Xuan simply ignored the palace servants, prostitutes and the like. He originally wanted to revoke these titles, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It wouldn't be a problem anyway, and what if he was really in his own palace.

If you find any good seeds, that can be considered an unexpected surprise.

Busy and busy, the edict was issued directly after the final decision. Originally, according to the general rules, this reclassified the concubine levels, and also added a few vacancies. It seemed that we should take advantage of the situation and hold an audition to fill up the inner palace.

.

But Liu Xuan didn't issue this edict, so many ministers were a little confused.

"Could it be that His Majesty already has a candidate in mind?"

"Hey, it's not really that person from the Lu family, is it?"

Although the incident with Lu Bu's family has been in the past for a while, it is still a topic of conversation for most people in Luoyang City, and they will be discussed from time to time.

Some say that Lu Bu is a tiger father and has no dog daughter; some say that Lu Bu is really a rough man who can't even teach his daughter well; there are also those who just watch the show... Of course, there are also some people who join in the fun and go to the Lu family to propose marriage - none of these people

例外的都被吕玲绮痛揍了一顿,而且这理由还说的他们羞愧欲死:“打都打不过,还有什么底说娶我?”

In addition to adding a lot of jokes to the idle people in Luoyang City, it also made Lu Lingqi's reputation more and more famous, although this reputation is not very good.

But who made the Lu family one of the most powerful families in the Han Dynasty? So even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of those who came to mention their relatives. As a result, Lu Lingqi went to the military camp again within three days after returning home.

Liu Xuan didn't know about this at first, but who said Lu Bu was the emperor's most trusted general? In addition, the war subsided, and the Han Dynasty once again started a new round of stable development. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Lu Bu. Except from time to time, he

He rushed to the palace to chat with the emperor, and there seemed to be nothing else to do.

And when chatting, it is inevitable to talk about this child.

Lu Bu is not young now. Although his appearance has not changed much, his mentality is completely different from that of back then.

As we get older, we see more and think more. Naturally, we see and do things differently than before.

At this time, although Lu Bu looked like a man in his prime, with not even a hair turning gray, the temperament exuded by his whole person made people not think of him as a young man at all.

At the same time... Lu Bu also became nagging.

"Hey, this girl Lingqi is not too young now. Although she has learned the magical method of the immortal family, she doesn't have to worry about getting older or anything like that, but it's not like she always stays unmarried. How about your majesty?

An edict: Give my daughter in marriage to so-and-so!"

Liu Xuan almost spat out the sip of tea he just drank. He looked at Lu Bu, and it seemed that he was not joking. He thought that arranged marriages in feudal society were really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the most powerful general in the world met him.

I have a general mindset when it comes to this kind of thing.

"Who do you want to betroth your daughter to?"

He wasn't curious about anything else, he was just curious about which boy Lu Bu had fallen in love with. You must know that this Lu Bu was very arrogant, and he would never look down on ordinary people.

Those who can catch his eye must not only have excellent martial arts skills, but also have good looks - Lu Bu himself is a handsome guy, which is very different from Zhang Fei's leopard-like appearance and Guan Yu's appearance like red dates.

.

The so-called "Lü Bu among men" does not just describe Lu Bu's martial arts skills!

Lu Bu chuckled, and then said a name that surprised Liu Xuan: "I saw that Lingqi ran away from the Yulin Army. Could it be that she has taken a liking to that boy from the Ma family?"

The boy from the Ma family? Now the leader of the Yulin Cavalry is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. The so-called boy from the Ma family is naturally talking about him - as for the other Yulin captain? That is Zhao Yun, not named Ma.

When it comes to Ma Chao, he is not called Jin Ma Chao casually in later generations. His body shape and appearance are first-class, and his martial arts are superb. Anyone who understands can see that this young man has a bright future.

What's more, Ma Chao is also considered a queen of a famous family. General Fubo, Ma Yuan, is also a famous general in the history of the Han Dynasty. His father, Ma Teng, is also very famous in the northwest. Although he is doing a relatively leisurely job in the court now, it does not mean that

Everyone will forget Ma Teng's ability.

"That's it!"

If Lu Bu and Ma Teng become in-laws, they will naturally form a relatively strong faction, but Liu Xuan doesn't mind this, because neither Ma Teng nor Lu Bu have a good impression on some veterans in the court.

It can be said that although Lu Bu had a high status, he was always marginalized in the court.

Although Ma Teng is better, he is limited.

The two of them can only form a small circle to protect their own interests, and cannot cause big troubles. As for what kind of military-civilian alliance? Ma Teng does not have such power in the court, let alone with his series of measures.

, it is not Lu Bu who has the final say in the army.

He shook his head and laughed at himself: "Oh, why are you thinking so complicated?"

Maybe after being the emperor for a long time, sometimes I unconsciously think about things in that direction, but forget that I am a big man who is very different from the previous dynasty. These messy things will not have any effect on me for the time being.

Influence.

However, when he shook his head, Lu Bu misunderstood: "Your Majesty, does it feel inappropriate?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he simply continued: "If Fengxian feels that this matter can be done, why not go directly to Shoucheng to talk to him personally, or you might as well go to Meng Qiming to talk... But

It's best to say hello to your daughter first, otherwise there will be rumors in Luoyang again!"

Lu Bu smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that the daughter he worked so hard to educate would be so tough and similar to himself when he was young. But looking at it from his father's perspective, it was really a headache.

Originally, he thought there was nothing wrong with this, but he couldn't stand Lu Lingqi's mother whispering in his ears every day, saying that a girl should behave like a girl, not to mention dancing with knives and guns every day, and now it's like this

When you are old, you can't even get married. Instead, you go to the military camp every day to lead troops... What does this sound like?

If most people don't want to listen, they can just scold him a few words, but Lu Bu is a man who loves his wife very much. Not to mention beating and scolding, he is reluctant to even scold him loudly, so he can only comfort him with kind words and pat his chest and promise: "

Solve Lingqi’s problem as soon as possible!”

As a result, we ended up in this situation.

As for Liu Xuan's last joke, Lu Bu felt that the emperor was right. If he didn't make it clear to his daughter first and help her contact her husband's family, he would not be able to do that when his daughter got angry and challenged him.
To be continued...
