The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 710 The Lord of the Harem
Overseas disciples have heard that Kyushu is more, and his life is uncertain.

It is empty to hear that the tiger's brigade spreads the night watchman, and there is no chicken man to announce the dawn.

On this day, the six armies were stationed together in horses, and at that time, the Qixi Festival laughed at the morning glory.

How Siji is the son of heaven is not as good as Lu's family.
——"Mawei" Li Shangyin
……

"Yang Yuhuan's backer is certainly strong, but Xuanzong is old after all. Wouldn't it be double insurance if he had a connection with the prince?"

Thinking of this, Yin Fenglan personally went to the field to train, and passed on all the secret arts and kung fu that she had cultivated all her life.

Knowing that the owner behind "Feng Lan Yin" is actually Yang Guozhong's third concubine, Zhang Liangdi was both surprised and delighted:
"With the backing of Concubine Yang, I will not repeat the same mistakes and end up like the previous two concubines, Concubine Wei and Concubine Du Liangdi."

The interests are highly consistent, and the fate is closely related, the two hit it off.

Crown Princess Zhang Liangdi formally joined Caiyi Society and became Yin Fenglan's direct disciple.

Afterwards, under Yin Fenglan's careful training, Zhang Liangdi was cunning and fickle. She used her bed kung fu to charm the king, and gradually won the favor of the prince Li Heng, and gave birth to two sons for Li Heng: Xing Wang Li Bi and Ding Wang Li Tong.

Because of the master-student relationship between Yin Fenglan and the crown princess Zhang Liangdi, Maweipo mutinied, and the Yang family was punished. Only Yin Fenglan and Yang Yichan were spared by the rebellious army.

After Suzong Lingwu came to the throne, Zhang Liangdi's mother was canonized as Concubine Shu because of her son's preciousness, and gradually took the power of the harem into her pocket.

Concubine Shu Zhang colluded with Li Fuguo, the eunuch of the court, and intervened in political affairs with clever words, and framed Li Tan, king of Jianning, to death, and expelled Li Mi, the prime minister in civilian clothes.

After regaining the two capitals, Yin Fenglan and Zhang Liangdi returned to Chang'an from Chengdu and Fengxiang respectively.The two joined forces again.

Yin Fenglan retired behind the scenes and used the Caiyi Club to secretly manipulate the current situation in the court.

In the first year of Qianyuan (758), by planning the assassination of Suzong by Gongsun Da Niang, Concubine Shu Zhang made a contribution to saving him.Suzong was greatly moved, and against all the courtiers' opinions, concubine Zhang Shu was promoted to be Queen Zhang.

After becoming a queen, the Zhang family was ambitious and planned to depose the prince Li Chu and let his son enter the East Palace.

All of this has to be supported by Master Yin Fenglan outside the palace.

The Caiyi Society holds a large amount of unsightly evidence for the courtiers. When necessary, this is a sharp weapon that can coerce all officials to bow their heads.

……

On the other hand, Yin Fenglan bears in mind the profound truth of stepping on two boats, even if she accepts the Crown Princess Zhang Liangdi as her disciple, Yin Fenglan still has an extra heart.

After the Yang family recognized their relatives, Yin Fenglan bet her daughter Yang Yichan on Yongwang Li Lin, and encouraged Yang Yichan to betray Bai Fu and marry her as Yongwang Concubine.

After the division of troops in Maweipo, Yong Wang Li Lin followed Xuanzong into Shu, exchanged Yang Yichan for a bargaining chip, took the opportunity to gain the military power to command Jiangling, and separated Jiangdong.

Suzong Lingwu ascended the throne, and the rebellion of Yongwang Li Lin was quelled. Yin Fenglan gave up the idea of ​​supporting other princes, and let Yang Yichan follow Xuanzong completely and became Yang Jieyu.

The clues of Xuanzong's secret plan for the coup were secretly sent to Queen Zhang through Yang Yichan's dark thread.

After the Daming Palace rebellion was put down, Xuanzong was put under house arrest in Taiji Palace, Gao Lishi was exiled to Wuzhou (northwest of Hongjiang City, Hunan Province today), eunuch Wang Chengen was exiled to Bozhou (now ZY City, Guizhou Province), and maid Ru Xianyuan was exiled back to the state ( Today's Zigui County, Hubei Province), Princess Yuzhen was driven back to Yuzhen Temple.

Only then did Yang Yichan regain her freedom and manage the Xingqing Palace as Yang Jieyu.

……

After reading Queen Zhang's secret letter, Yin Fenglan fell into deep thought.

She had done all her calculations, but she never thought that Bai Fu, a boy from a poor family in Bashu, would be able to make a fortune!
If I knew this earlier, why would I have to spend so much time planning it.I tried my best to break up Bai Fu and Yang Yichan, but made the wedding dress for Princess Qingluan, which made Bai Fu cheap.

What Empress Zhang meant was to let Yang Yichan wait for the opportunity to get close to Bai Fu, so that they could reconnect with Bai Fu.With the help of Bai Fu, he won the military power, supported Li Tong as the king of Ding in the future, and gained the support of the military circles of the Tang Dynasty.

Yin Fenglan has other ideas, now is not the time for Yang Yichan and Bai Fu to reconcile, she has a more important thing that Yang Yichan needs to do.

If this matter is accomplished, she will rewrite Datang's fate!
……

Bai Fu's first court meeting after paying homage to the Prime Minister was the Shuowang Dynasty held on the first and fifteenth day of every month, at the Xuanzheng Hall.

According to the rules set by the Ministry of Rites, Bai Fu changed from the general's war robe to a silk robe with large flowers and a belt decorated with gold and jade.

The morning star faded and the rooster announced the dawn. Bai Fu led his attendants and rode his horse on the dark street before dawn.

Pass through Wangxian Gate and come to Wangxian Bridge.Wangxian Bridge is also known as Xiama Bridge.When they got here, all the officials had to get off their horses and walk to Zhaoxun Gate.

Zhaoxun Gate is the first palace wall of Daming Palace.The office where Bai Fu worked on weekdays—Jinwuweizhangyuan is to the west of Zhaoxunmen.

Pass through the Zhaoxun Gate, even if you officially enter the Daming Palace.

Walking a hundred steps to the north, you will come to Hanyao Gate, which is the second palace wall of Daming Palace.Zhongshusheng, Menxiasheng, Yushitai, Hongwenguan, Shizhiyuan, and Guoshiguan are within the second palace wall.

Between Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, from west to east, there are Yuehua Gate, Xuanzheng Gate and Rihua Gate. Passing through these three gates is the Xuanzheng Hall.The Shuowang Dynasty was held in Xuanzheng Hall.

Bai Fu arrived early, and the Rihua Gate hadn't opened yet.A group of officials who were also waiting to go to court paced in front of the Rihua Gate, waiting to open the door and enter the palace.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the light was dim and dim. If you didn't pay attention, it was not easy to see people's faces clearly.

Two eunuchs came to Bai Fu's horse, bowed and said, "It's Lord Bai, please."

Since Bai Fu paid homage to Prime Minister, the Ministry of Internal Affairs let relevant eunuchs and maids see Bai Fu's portrait, so as to remember Bai Fu's appearance and serve him better.

These two eunuchs are dedicated to serve Bai Fu, and they have been waiting at the Rihua Gate for a long time.Seeing Bai Fu appear, he hastened to meet him.

Bai Fu used to be Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang General, so he often went to Daming Palace.It was the first time to be taken care of so intimately by the eunuch.

Bai Fu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no wonder everyone is willing to be an official.When you become an official, you must try your best to become a high-ranking official!

Two eunuchs led the way with a pair of red lanterns and led Bai Fu to a small courtyard next to the Rihua Gate.

This small courtyard is called "Jixianzhai", and it was the place where the officials of the early dynasty had their meals.

The small courtyard is clean and tidy. There are more than a dozen huts in the courtyard, and there are bowls and chopsticks on the table.Dozens of eunuchs walked lightly and hurriedly, serving tea, pastries and meals to the sitting officials.

Although this courtyard is small, it is a place that officials all over the world are fascinated by.Those who can have breakfast here must be high-ranking officials of the third rank or above.Ordinary officials can only make do with two bites on horseback on the way to court.

This little privilege opened up the difference between important ministers and courtiers.Although the threshold of the small courtyard is shallow, most officials will not be able to step in for a lifetime.
