Chapter Look at the Children
Regarding Wang De, a great empire ruled by the Mongolians and Han people, why are there so many Goryeo people in the harem? Zhao Bing really knows what's going on.
The reason is very simple. The Mongols did not castrate, and at first there was no concept of inner court. The Qiexue army always did the work of eunuchs, so they did not have the idea of recruiting eunuchs from the people. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols did not establish a system of eunuchs. Until the destruction of the Song Dynasty, they obtained some eunuchs from the Song Palace and found that eunuchs were quite reassuring.
The Mongolians who had the sweetness then used eunuchs to manage the harem. Unfortunately, the Song court left a small amount of eunuchs, and after they were consumed, they were gone. But at this time, the substitute came! After the Mongolian launched the war to attack Goryeo, due to the long-term failure to capture Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan's policy on Goryeo was forced to adjust - to change the suppression to pacification, and agreed to negotiate peace with Goryeo.
Goryeo and the Yuan Dynasty formed a "nation of nephews and uncles". At the same time, they considered themselves a vassal of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty ensured that the state of Goryeo was intact and withdrew troops from Goryeo. In order to ensure the stability of the relationship between this vassal, the King of Goryeo sent envoys to the capital, "The small country invites marriage to a great dynasty for a good relationship... and the small country will serve forever forever." Kublai Khan agreed to give the marriage and marry his daughter, Princess Qi, to the princess of Goryeo. This was the beginning of Yuanli's intermarriage.
After that, the seven generations of Goryeo queens were all princesses of the Yuan Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty married the princess, Goryeo should also express it. "Since I am a family, I should intermarry with it, otherwise how can I be a family? ... My Emperor Taizu conquered the Thirteen Kingdoms, and his king fought for the offer of beautiful women, good horses, and treasures. This is what you heard of." The King of Goryeo understood the gods and immediately sent envoys to the Yuan Dynasty to celebrate the emperor and tribute to the daughter.
The "Three Treasures" of Goryeo then entered the inner court of the Mongol Yuan Empire. Since the Goryeo people were deeply influenced by the farming culture of the Han people and were hard-working, they just allowed the Goryeo people to fill the holes of the increasingly scarcity of eunuchs in the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, in the harem of the Yuan court, the eunuchs basically imported from the Korean Peninsula, and since then this "good" position has been basically contracted by the Goryeo people.
Everyone knows that since the establishment of the eunuch system in ancient China, records of the "Eunuch's Disaster" have been endless in history books, and even the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties that can be called history were inevitable. The Song Dynasty was relatively good. With the strong suppression of the scholar group, it was also produced in the Huizong Dynasty, such as Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and Li Yan, who caused trouble to the dynasty, and made good efforts to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty.
It depends on what evil things these eunuchs did. Most of the bad things were formed by forming cliques and private interests, embezzling and accepting bribes, killing loyal and good people, concealing superiors and deceiving subordinates, and autocratic and chasing government. Most of the famous eunuchs in history have done these things, but historical books rarely record the disasters of eunuchs in the Yuan Dynasty. However, as Zhao Bing knew that these Goryeo eunuchs from foreign countries did these things at will, and they were not inferior at all, and they caused troubles in the Yuan Dynasty.
The tribute girls and eunuchs from Goryeo lived in the inner court. On the surface, they were just servants and slaves of the emperor. They were just housework to serve tea and water. The tribute girls also had the responsibility to accompany them to eat and sleep. However, because they were in the highest power center, close to the Khan, were well-behaved, or had outstanding appearance, they were easily favored by the emperor, and even the Goryeo eunuchs who were high-ranking officials and gave them the power to live and kill.
Now there is one who has attracted the attention of Zhao Bing. His name is Fang Chenyou, who is from Shangzhou, Goryeo. He was married to the princess of Qi, who was married to Kublai Khan in Goryeo. Perhaps because he was good at observing words and expressions, he was quite popular with the princess, so the princess sent him to China and gave him his younger brother Zhenjin Prince. Fang Chenyou was very internationalist and did not become discouraged or slackened because he went to a foreign country. Instead, he continued to work with his half-dead body and used his ability to be able to do everything, which really made him happy to Prince Zhenjin and Prince Kuokuo.
Of course, what Zhao Bing knew was the history of things. At that time, Zhen Jin's life was short and he could not inherit the great treasure. However, Zhen Jin's son Tiemur ascended the throne and became Emperor Chengzong of Yuan Dynasty. As a celebrity in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Kuokuozhen, Fang Chenyou was powerful in the court and the country, and had been in seven dynasties but did not fall. His influence on the government reached a point where he could determine the fate of heroes and princes.
According to the purpose of commending Goryeo's loyalty, Emperor Wuzong of Zai Yuan appointed King Zhongxuan of Goryeo as King Chen, and gave the area in the Chenyang area of Liaoning to Goryeo. That area was originally the territory of the Marquis of Chenyang. Hong Chongxi was very dissatisfied with his new leader. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Yuan, he sued King Zhongxuan of Goryeo for "not following the law and violence". Fang Chenyou stood on the side of King Gaoli, and said that Hong Chongxi was "recklessly plotting to overthrow" from the Empress Dowager, so the unlucky Hong Chongxi was taken away from his title and sentenced to exile.
The Goryeo tribute girls sent to the Mongol Yuan were also not inferior. Compared with eunuchs, their development limit was higher. If they were favored by the emperor, they might become the queen of the mother's mother. The eunuchs in the palace were fellow villagers in Goryeo. The villagers gathered together with each other, and the Goryeo concubines and Goryeo eunuchs combined, thus becoming a political group that could control the government's affairs.
The Goryeo women of the Yuan Dynasty became empresses. The Jin family of the Later Jin family of Emperor Renzong of Yuan Dynasty were Damashili, the Xu family of Boyan Hudu, and the most brilliant and powerful Emperor Shun of Yuan, the Empress of the Qi family of the Qi family. The Qi family was of a low origin and his father, Qizi Ao, was a fifth-rank official. After entering the palace, he joined the eunuch of Goryeo, Gao Longpu, and got the opportunity to pour tea for Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty. Because of his beautiful appearance, he was very popular with Emperor Shun and visited many times.
At that time, the Empress of the Palace was Danasri, the daughter of the powerful minister Yan Timur. Yan Timur was a figure like Huo Guang. Emperor Shun was very afraid of him, so Danasri was arrogant in the palace. Danasri was very jealous of Qi and repeatedly asked for trouble to her, "sincerely humiliated her." Qi was enduring humiliation and was unwilling to fall, and finally waited for the 'Yellow River Clarification Day'!
Later, Yan Tiemur's son was executed for rebellion, Yan Tiemur's party completely collapsed, and Danasri was deposed as a commoner. Qi finally turned over and was named the second queen. Qi also gave birth to two sons for Emperor Shun, Tuogus Tiemur and Ayushiridala. Then, Ayushiridala was named the crown prince, and her mother was noble for her son. Qishi surpassed the new queen, Boyan Hudu.
After the death of the eldest queen, Qi naturally sat in the main palace. As for whether he was secretly colluded with fellow villagers, there is no record in history. However, Zhao Bing believed that the Mongols had been beaten by ten major khans in 40 years. If the khans were not careful, they would be poisoned to eat, chopped to death when walking, and suffocated to death when sleeping. It is not impossible for a queen who lost power to die accidentally.
Qishi was a politically wise woman. She "takes the filial piety scriptures and historical books when she has nothing to do, and visits the queens of all generations who have wise men to do the law" to cultivate her reputation. In the capital, Qishi invests in disaster relief, thus bribing the hearts of the people. A political group formed in the court with a confidant eunuch Pu Buhua and a minister as the backbone. In addition, Emperor Shun of Yuan was lazy in political affairs and was addicted to wine and sex. Qishi took the opportunity to start her big move - forcing Emperor Shun of Yuan to "inner Zen" and give way to the crown prince Aiyou Shilidala.
The power of the Yuan Dynasty was extremely strong. Qishi invited Prime Minister He Weiyi to the harem for drinking through Park Buhua, and asked He Weiyi to act with them to carry out a coup. As a result, He Weiyi refused. So Empress Qi and her gang falsely accused He Weiyi of forming a party for personal gain, plotting against him and committing suicide. She also used this to attack the opposition and eliminated a large number of dissidents.
The incident aroused the alert of Emperor Shun of Yuan. Seeing that something was wrong, Empress Qi simply wanted to force the palace through the warlord forces. Under her instigation, the two major warlords at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Boluo Timur and Wang Baobao fought happily, and a large-scale civil war broke out within the Yuan ruling group. The ending was not very wonderful. Boluo Timur defeated the prince and Wang Baobao away, attacked Dadu, killed Pu Buhua, and other rear party, imprisoned Queen Qi, and destroyed the plot to usurp the throne.
But after Empress Qi's operation, the Yuan Dynasty, which was already turbulent in the peasant uprising, became even more dying after such a struggle. Emperor Shun of Yuan sighed and said, "Today, the territory is divided, and it is all the work of your mother and son." When the Ming army approached Dadu, Empress Qi and the prince fled north in a hurry with Emperor Shun of Yuan. In the end, the Qi family did not become Empress Lü, and Wu Zetian saw the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty...
Now history has changed. Zhen Jin did not die and became a great khan. The Song Dynasty rose again under the leadership of Zhao Bing, and many things are likely not to happen. However, the information shows that Fang Chenyou is still there and is deeply favored by Zhen Jin. He is also in a hot fight with the Yuan Dynasty Kuokuozhen, but it has not yet reached the point where he can control the government.
However, Zhao Bing thought that in the situation where Zhen Jin was in poor health and the king of the clan went south, Kuokuozhen could not have made plans for Tiemur to compete for the throne of Khan, and would inevitably win over a group of powerful ministers and kings of the clan to form his own power group. As a close confidant, Fang Chenyou may play an important role in it and have the potential to become a powerful official.
During this sensitive period, the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty sent so many Goryeo girls and eunuchs, so Zhao Bing had to think too much, suspected that the Mongols took the opportunity to use the beauty plan, stole spies, and even used them to gain their own trust, create civil unrest, and subvert the Song Dynasty regime. His will to face the beauty has never been very firm. Once he fell into the trap, wouldn’t he take the Song Dynasty on the road of no return?
Therefore, when Zhao Bing returned to the palace, he remained vigilant and held a "three no" attitude towards the Goryeo tribute girls, which was not in contact with, distrustful, and not appointed, so as not to fall into the trap. The eunuchs also adopted the isolation policy, not allowed them to approach confidential places, not allowed them to be close to the close, not allowed them to be close servants, and not allowed to contact foreign ministers. However, judging from the current situation in the palace, it seems difficult to do it, and the Goryeo people around the Empress Dowager cannot be driven away!
"Official family, where are we going?" Wang De followed the little emperor who was traveling in the sky for two rounds behind the hall. The sky was dark and his legs were a little weak. He couldn't help but remind him.
