Chapter Goryeo Sambo
Zhao Bing is a longing for old age, which is something that all the elderly in the palace know. Since he moved to Deshou Palace and settled in Tanbo Pavilion, Su Lan has been responsible for the management of inside and outside. The Xiaohuangmen who was in charge of serving were all old people from the past. Those who worked in chores around were also old, old, poor physical strength, and no position. They swept the garden and pruned flowers and plants on weekdays, and regarded it as a retirement.
The reason why these old people are used is not only to take care of the elderly and weak, but also because these people have followed Zhao Bing for many years and are the loyal servants left by Dalang Taosha, which makes him trustworthy. You must know that your bedroom is also an office place, and you will also summon your subordinates to discuss matters here. Therefore, there are too many secrets inside that cannot be known to outsiders. These people can keep secrets for themselves.
Now that he saw many strange faces around him, Zhao Bing was very sensitive to this, so he naturally had to ask about it. He didn't want what had just happened in his palace, but he would appear in the street tabloid tomorrow in a blink of an eye, and he didn't want any nails placed by others around him.
"The government, the Mongolian Yuan delegation sent a lot of good things to Beijing this time, including fifty eunuchs, hundreds of singers, thirty musicians, and five eminent monks!" Liu Ling quickly reported.
"Oh, there are these treasures!" Zhao Bing laughed in a daze after hearing this.
"Yes!" Liu Ling saw His Majesty laughing, and then said a little more in his heart, "Those Goryeo eunuchs can speak Chinese and know Chinese characters. They are not old and very respectful and well-behaved. Among the singers, there are also vassal women with blond hair and blue eyes, beautiful skin, and very good dance. In addition, they also sent more than a dozen Goryeo women, all of whom are from the Goryeo royal family and powerful families. Goryeo monks were inconvenient to stay in the palace and were sent to the Daxiangguo Temple. These eunuchs stayed in the palace to do some cleaning work."
"Haha, the three treasures of Goryeo have been sent. It seems that the Mongolian Yuan peace agreement is very sincere!"
"Official family, what are the three treasures of Goryeo?" Liu Ling asked.
"The Three Treasures are eunuchs, beauties and monks. Goryeo survived with these three things until now, and was not destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
The relationship between the Mongolian Yuan and Goryeo was very interesting. The Mongols were accustomed to engraving the men of surrender into their own army after conquering their opponents and absorbing the sons of powerful men into Qiexue as a proton. After conquering Goryeo, they also directly absorbed the mighty men of Goryeo directly into their own army. Even King Zhongxuan of Goryeo was removed from the throne by the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and absorbed them into their own guards, allowing him to act as a guard for more than ten years.
The general tribes and countries suffered this great humiliation, and they must have thought of resisting, but they were absorbed by the Yuan Dynasty and the Goryeo people hoped that the Yuan Dynasty would directly annex Goryeo and simply destroyed their country. This idea is weird enough! The Mongols and Yuan Dynasty kept the Goryeo and did not give them the chance to get what they wanted. It was a miracle in history.
As Zhao Bing knows, the reason why Goryeo was preserved was because the three types of men and women were closely related. During the entire Yuan Dynasty in history, Goryeo men and women were all popular goods in the Yuan Dynasty. In the history of the Yuan Dynasty, at least 300,000 Goryeo men and women entered the Yuan Dynasty to "settle", and Mengge alone plundered more than 200,000 Goryeo men and women at one time.
This is just a population with data to check, and it is not completely accurate. Because the Mongols had a problem after conquering Goryeo, that is, the powerful and noble families must have Goryeo maids to serve them, and the male owner must have wives and concubines from Goryeo aristocratic families. Just like if there is no British official in the modern family, they will be embarrassed to claim to be part of the upper class, so no one can say how many Goryeo men and women entered the Yuan Dynasty.
After Kublai Khan became the Khan, the concubine of Goryeo was a scene in the harem of the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan also formed a system of auditioning women from Goryeo, forming three marriage auditions modes from high to low, almost capturing all the women of Goryeo age. As a result, when there were Goryeo men who were not worthy of Goryeo beauty at this time, Zhao Bing thought that he was a feminist who was making a fool of himself, but it seemed that it was in line with historical facts at the moment.
In the Mongols' auditions for Goryeo women, the highest-level auditions of marriage partners were required to investigate for three generations, so that they could be concubines for the princes and grandchildren of the Yuan Dynasty. If there was a problem, the Goryeo royal family would be severely punished; while the higher-level royal maids of the Yuan Dynasty required to be from good families and must be virgins; the low-level auditions required Goryeo to select widows and unmarried virgins and let them marry their soldiers.
The helpless Goryeo government had to establish two institutions: "Widows and Virgos to Promote Examinations and Other Inspectors" and "Marriage Supervision", which specifically "kicks the widows' door" to plunder the Goryeo widows' marriage to the Yuan Dynasty. As long as the Goryeo government kicked the widows' door a little slower, Daru Hachi, who was stationed in Goryeo, would dare to indulge his subordinates to take action directly.
With Kublai Khan as a role model, the powerful ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, such as Ahma, Sangge, and others, especially like to choose marriage partners from the top Goryeo nobles. They must be the daughters of the prime minister and general, and the descendants of the Goryeo nobles can only choose the remaining ones. Goryeo women were selected by the Yuan Dynasty as if they were picking vegetables. Goryeo men's reaction was to actively be eunuchs and monks in the Yuan Dynasty in exchange for peace of the motherland.
Goryeo's tribute to eunuchs to the Yuan Dynasty was also a major political task. This was a critical need for the Yuan Dynasty palace, just like Goryeo women. The Yuan Dynasty royal family needed them to serve their women. Goryeo's civilians also regarded jumping into the Yuan Dynasty harem as jumping into the dragon gate, because no matter how capable they were in their hometown, they would have no room for improvement when they could observe their words and expressions.
Goryeo monks are another major political force in Goryeo. According to the tradition of the Goryeo Dynasty, the descendants of the royal family who have no inheritance rights often become monks, and the descendants of the nobles are also this tradition, so they are really not afraid of the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty robbing their wives. Therefore, the temples of the Goryeo dynasty occupy more than 30% of the country's land. It is precisely because of the special status of the Goryeo monks, the monks of Goryeo can also make suggestions to the royal family like ministers, and their voice in the Goryeo dynasty is very high. They also expose a large number of monks to the Yuan Dynasty. The trust of the members of the Yuan Dynasty is second only to the Tibetan monks, which affects the direction of the policy.
It is precisely because of the efforts of these three men and women in Goryeo that Goryeo did not destroy the country and became a part of the Yuan Dynasty. So it would be really wrong if Goryeo women really shouted "Goryeo men are not worthy of Goryeo women"...
"The official family, have you sent Goryeo's beautiful girl to Tanbo Pavilion?" Seeing that His Majesty was very interested in people from Goryeo, Liu Ling said from the side.
"No need, just remove all these Goryeo eunuchs. I'm used to using the original old men!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said.
"It's time for the official to rest for a while when I'm away from the army. Why don't you summon the singer from the sect to accompany me?" Liu Ling was a little unwilling to give up and suggested again.
"I am not interested in those Hu girls!" Zhao Bing still shook his head.
