Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

The banks of the Wei River were blocked by the imperial guards, and no one was allowed to pass through Longshou Mountain and enter Chang'an. However, the spiritual mist there was shrouded, and it felt like a fairyland.

Therefore, the Dongming had no choice but to stop by the Ba River. The stone bridges along the Ba River have been renovated one after another. They are three feet wide and divided into official roads and walkways. The riverside dams are all newly built, and weeping willows are planted one after another. It is also very beautiful. There are many people setting up stalls by the river and selling food.

"But Mrs. Dongming and Princess Dongming?"

At this time, a group of figures wearing black attire, Miao knives, and golden bird patterns on the corners of their clothes appeared on the bank of Ba River.

The leader was three women who were as beautiful as ordinary people. Yun Yuzhen, the leader, stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face.

"The concubine is right."

"I don't know how many?"

Dongming's wife, Shan Meixian, looked at Yun Yuzhen and the three girls, with some suspicions in her heart, but she was not sure yet.

"Wow."

"All the sisters are so beautiful, just as beautiful as Sister Shen."

suddenly.

Shan Wanjing approached Yun Yuzhen and the other three girls, her little eyes filled with stars.

When they saw her, Yun Yuzhen and Shi Qingxuan were both startled. However, Wanwan stepped forward and touched Shan Wanjing's face, smiling and saying, "My sister is quite cute too."

Wanwan, who was born in the Yingui sect, recognized the handsome young man in front of her as a beautiful girl at a glance, and was attracted by her quirky temperament.

"call.."

After hearing this, Yun Yuzhen and Shi Qingxuan took a closer look and found that the young man in front of them had black and shiny hair, which set off his fair skin and made his bones and skin look even more attractive. She is dressed in men's clothing, but her behavior has a unique appearance and charm, and she is undoubtedly a woman.

"My little girl is naughty, please forgive me!"

Shan Meixian couldn't help but step forward and explain.

"You're welcome, ma'am."

"Miss Shan is so innocent and naive, it's too late for me to like her."

"Your Highness heard that Madam and Miss Shan have arrived. Shen Dian's army is fighting in the south of the country. He specially ordered us to come to greet them."

"The palace has prepared a reception banquet. Madam, Miss Shan, please come!"

Yun Yuzhen invited politely.

"it is good!"

Shan Meixian gave instructions to her servants and followed Yun Yuzhen into the carriage.

At this time, Shan Wanjing seemed to have remembered something, with a look of surprise in her eyes, pointing at Yun Yuzhen and saying, "You are Sister Yun."

"Sister Wanjing remembered."

Yun Yuzhen couldn't help but touched Shan Wanjing's little head and said with a smile: "After not seeing each other for many years, the little girl in the past has grown so big now."

"I heard that our little princess Dongming is very courageous. You have witnessed the fight between the Hengbo Army and the Donghai Navy."

"I was chatting with Shen Dianjun about you a few days ago. Could it be that sister Wanjing also wants to be a female general?"

"elder sister!"

Being teased like this, Shan Wanjing showed her shy little girl attitude.

"Giggle!"

The women present couldn't help but laugh out loud after seeing him.

At this time, Shi Qingxuan and Wanwan looked at each other and came out one after another to greet Shan Meixian: "Father Shi Zhixuan/Master Zhu Yuyan, I have met my senior sister!"

Geek!

The voice fell.

The atmosphere in the entire carriage suddenly fell into silence.

In a certain relationship, Shi Qingxuan is the daughter of the Evil King, Wanwan is the apprentice of the Yin Queen, and Shan Meixian is the daughter of the Yin Queen. The three of them are indeed peers of the Demon Sect, but Shan Meixian has been away from China for many years, and is not with the Yin Queen. The relationship between the demons is indifferent.

"I heard you.."

Looking at the pure and refined Shi Qingxuan in front of her, Shan Meixian hesitated to speak.

Shi Qingxuan couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she quickly explained: "Uncle Yue Shan always couldn't help himself when he thought about senior sister."

"The internal injuries were not healed, but there was a misfortune in the family. Although my mother rescued me, I barely survived for two or three years."

"Fortunately, His Highness took me to kill Xi Ying some time ago to comfort Uncle Yue Shan's spirit in heaven."

"I..."

Hearing this, Shan Meixian felt even more uncomfortable.

She had only spent a short time with Yue Shan since she was a child, but it wasn't because Yue Shan didn't love her, it was just because Zhu Yuyan blocked her.

When she grew up, she hated the Demon Sect, the Yin Gui Sect, and Zhu Yuyan because of her unfulfilled deeds. She also hated Yue Shan. Who would have thought that she would not even see her for the last time, but Shi Qingxuan, an outsider? 'Did a lot of things for her.

"Sister, Master is thinking about you very much..."

Wanwan on the side suddenly said something.

Everyone present focused their attention on Shan Meixian, fearing that she would become violent. After all, Zhu Yuyan was the beginning of Shan Meixian's tragedy.

However, there was a trace of hatred in Shan Meixian's eyes, as well as longing and memories, and finally she became calm and said: "The past has passed, and I have nothing to do with her anymore. I came to Chang'an this time, and I don't want to see her."

"Ugh!!!"

Wanwan let out a long sigh, trying to persuade her, but there was nothing she could do.

How can others interfere in the affairs between mother and daughter? Besides, they couldn't handle it better than Shan Meixian.

"Mother!"

"Aren't we here to see the King of Chu this time? Several sisters are here, why not ask the King of Chu what he looks like."

Shan Wanjing saw that Shan Meixian was not in the right mood, so she quickly interrupted and made fun of her. Her charming voice resounded throughout the carriage, diluting the tense atmosphere.

"You crazy girl."

"I asked you not to wear men's clothes. Now it's okay. How can you go to see the King of Chu in men's clothes?"

"When people see you acting like a tomboy, don't kick you out."

Shan Meixian lovingly tapped Shan Wanjing's forehead with her lush green fingers.

"No, no."

Hearing this, Yun Yuzhen quickly smiled and added: "Our Highness may not be seen as domineering in the eyes of outsiders, but he is kind and approachable."

"The Dongming Sect has greatly assisted our Chu State in recovering various places east of the Yangtze River, and has made great contributions."

"His Highness has already said that although Liu Qiu has recovered, Madam and Wan Jing's family property is still yours."

"In addition, the palace has also prepared a side hall for Madam and Wanjing to live in. Dongminghao and Dongming sent the right to accommodate single family members."

"very nice!"

Shan Wanjing responded sweetly.

Even Shan Meixian was very satisfied with this arrangement.

There are no local gangs in Chu State. This is a fact known to the world.

Even the Demonic Sect has been integrated into the Imperial Academy and the Women's Garden, but the Taoist Sect is different. The Taoist Sect assumes religious responsibilities and is under the jurisdiction of the Religious Department of the State of Chu.

If the Dongming Sect is included in the Shan family, it will be Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing's private tribe. In fact, it is just a name change, but the essence remains the same.

........

In the Daxing Palace, inside the Qinzheng Hall.

"Elder Chen."

"We currently have two title systems, civil and military, but we still lack one."

"As for the rank of the harem and the rank of the courtiers and wives, it would be better to establish it as soon as possible."

Inadvertently, Kou Zhong asked Chen Laomou a few words.

"Your Highness's words are very good."

"The veteran also just wanted to report to His Highness about the rank of the courtier's wife."

"As the state of Chu becomes more and more stable, there will be fewer and fewer people with titles. Moreover, some officials have poor backgrounds and mostly miss their mothers."

"As for the ranking of courtiers and wives, it should be done sooner rather than later."

Chen Laomou, director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported.

"Ok!"

Kou Zhong slightly opened his mouth and said: ""Book of Rites: Qu Li Xia" says: The emperor's concubine is called empress, the princes are called madam, the officials are called children, the scholars are called women, and the common people are called wives. Now I, the king, live in The throne, after unifying the world, I must ascend the throne and become the emperor."

"Except Duke Jiang Guo, there are no longer any princes of the opposite sex. The princes only exist within the royal family and are under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Temple."

"I thought it would be better to set up the ranks of courtiers and wives with nine grades: first-class country wife, second-class county wife, third-class child, fourth-class Anren, fifth-class pleasant person, sixth-class respectful person, seventh-class person, and eighth-class scholar. People, ninth-class gentlemen.”

"The duchess is given to the lady of the country, the marquise is given to the county lady, the countess is given to the child, the viscountess is given to the peaceful person, and the baroness is given to the pleasant person."

"Currently, Duke An Guo's wife is Jin An Guo's wife, and the remaining ladies of various titles have been given robes and outfits one by one by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to their rank."

"In addition, the Guhou Palace will remain in its original state, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to be organized."

"The concubine system is based on one queen, six concubines, twelve concubines, 24 concubines, and 36 concubines."

"The age of the maids in the palace ranges from sixteen to twenty. Those who are over twenty will be sent out of the palace and rewarded according to their official rank."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs no longer compulsorily recruits candidates from the private sector, but instead selects candidates on a voluntary basis. Anyone who has a palace maid in his family will be promised 100 taels of Anjia silver."

"The etiquette system has been established so that all future emperors and descendants of the royal family will take concubines and wives on a voluntary basis, and civilian girls cannot be forcibly recruited."

"Why do we, the great Chu royal family, need to do such a dirty thing? If there is someone you like, you can go to Zongzheng Temple and propose marriage."

"There should be regulations for the marriage of courtiers. The prince of the country can marry one head wife, two equal wives, and the equal wife is given to the county wife; the marquis can marry one head wife, one equal wife, and the equal wife is given to a child, and there are uncles, sons, barons, etc. Only the head wives are given titles, and those who have not made great achievements cannot be given titles."

"When the imperial examination is held, the number one scholar in literature and martial arts will be given to Yin, and his wife and mother will be called Gongren. The second place will be given to Yin, and his wife and mother will be named Renren. The number one in the imperial examination will be given to Yin, and his wife and mother will be named Shuoren. He will be an official in the court. Madams are all based on their rank, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs gives gifts every year. Anyone who dares to withhold or omit them will be punished with a stick!"

"From now on, this nine-level system of courtiers and wives will be announced to the whole country, so that all people will know the meaning of being alone."

 …  

"promise!"

Chen Laomou, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responded with a glint in his eyes.

Throughout the ages, many successful people were not born under the direct wives. Many of them were not even born from concubines, but from brothel women. However, their talents have written a strong mark in the history books. Among the courtiers of the Chu State, similar There are countless people of this background.

It is conceivable that what kind of grand situation will occur under the rule of Chu State after Kou Zhong issued this edict today. Everyone will no longer care about their origins, but will judge their abilities based on their talents. Talented people will participate in the imperial examination, join the army, and serve as officials. May he be favored and canonized for his wife and mother.

For this reason, how many people will risk their lives to serve the Chu State and serve the King of Chu!

"Your Highness!"

“几位夫小说80,.9?'1!''!7'.?876;!1中":":轉,,.君"'"羊人已经到了。”

An attendant hurried inside to report.

"Okay, invite them in."

With a smile on his face, Kou Zhong nodded.

"promise."

As the attendants left, several people entered Qinzheng Hall one after another.

"Your Highness!"

"See Your Highness!"

Yun Yuzhen, Shi Qingxuan and the other girls saluted one after another.

Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing also followed suit and saluted and said greetings.

"Be flat!"
