With this master, solid favor cannot be obtained by suppressing others. What he needs is that he can truly relax after returning to the harem and feel the warmth of home in the harem. A woman who can educate children well and allow him to focus more on government affairs. Even if you do whatever it takes to please this master and gain temporary favor, it won't last long.
What's more, Duan Jin also knows that his temperament is not suitable for dealing with such overly complicated matters. As for those bullshit palace fights, Duan Jin didn't even bother to participate. Because she knew that her position in Huang Qiong's heart was not something that could be easily shaken by that person. As for the child's future, in Duan Jin's opinion, that is the child's own business. As long as you educate your children well and don't go astray, that's it.
But now that he saw Huang Qiong mentioning this matter and the anger rising in his heart, Duan Jin finally tried to persuade him. In fact, Duan Jin was not worried about Huang Qiong's worries at all. But for Duan Jin, this was something that was inevitable in all dynasties. That position is too tempting for everyone. The Son of Heaven controls the life and death of everyone in the world, and who wouldn’t want that?
But Duan Jin still had confidence in Huang Qiong. She believed that with Huang Qiong's ability, even if this situation really happened, Huang Qiong would be able to control it. What's more, neither I nor He Yao or Cai, including Lin Wanqing and the other girls, can teach those unscrupulous people. Most of the women in the palace, because of their background, would not have the courage and scheming to teach such a person.
Most of the women in the palace were from ordinary families. Among them, the ones most looked down upon by the officials' children were those who were born in the world of Jianghu. Including himself, he can be regarded as half a Jianghu person. Even with her status as the Princess of Dali, she was not worth mentioning in the eyes of those high-ranking officials. Other people are even more contemptuous in the eyes of those guys.
However, it is also a matter of birth. The women in Huang Qiong Palace have limited vision and abilities, which inherently limits their ambitions. This kind of person may teach mediocre children, and may teach some misbehaving children, but it is really unlikely that he will teach children who will do anything for power. After all, they themselves may not have that kind of ambition.
Although he is a native of Dali, Duan Jin's biggest interest besides practicing martial arts since childhood is reading, and he can be regarded as a voracious reader of poetry and books. In Duan Jin's opinion, most princes who were born in a deep palace grew up in the hands of their mother, and their ambitions were mostly influenced by their mothers. If the mother does not have that kind of ambition, the son may not really be willing to resort to any means. And most of the women in the palace may not have that ambition.
Thinking of this, Duan Jin suddenly understood why Huang Qiong had always been unwilling to accept a woman from an official family into the palace. Since he was the prince, officials from the DPRK and China have been persuading him to draft. But he has always been unwilling to agree, preferring to find ordinary people or women in the world who are inferior in the eyes of officials and nobles. Among the women in the palace, Dong Qianhong is the only one besides herself.
Even though she is the daughter of a criminal official, she is the adopted daughter of the former Privy Councilor who raised her as her own daughter. His biological father was also a Jinshi, and he was probably the only child of an official. Although Mrs. Cai married into a family of officials, she was just the daughter of a great Confucian scholar. Moreover, Cai's father, a great Confucian, was quite old-fashioned. Regarding the education of my two daughters, I have always strictly followed the three obediences and four virtues.
Although Cai's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she is still a reserved person deep down. Deep down, he has always been cautious. Even if she has that kind of relationship with Situ Huanshuang, who is the queen. But Cai has always been quite reserved, never acts in a showy way, and never participates in many places. Lin Hanyan and several other former princesses with official backgrounds have never participated in the palace.
Apart from these few, there are basically no women from official families in the harem. Liu Min and Liu Ling are a special case. These two princesses who came from the Guilin County Prince's Palace are indeed of extremely noble background. But they were raised in a commoner's home since childhood, and the life in the royal palace was too far away from them. No matter how powerful and wealthy the Guilin County Prince's Palace is, it has nothing to do with them.
Following Huang Qiong until now, he didn't even dare to reveal his true identity. Before learning about the death of the false emperor, they even lived in fear and fear all day long. They didn't dare to leave the Lord's side even half a step. In addition to regarding this Lord as their only support, they were even more worried about being captured by their father and brother and sent back to the nightmares of the past.
In fact, they are not that much better than those women from civilian backgrounds. To a certain extent, they are not as comfortable as those from civilian families. What's more, the two girls' unique physiques make it difficult for them to have children of their own. Without children, there would be even less ambition. For them, not having to live in the shadow of their father and brother is their greatest happiness.
And the reason why he has always controlled the harem is because he doesn't want too many women from official families to enter the palace. I am afraid that this master, in addition to having a somewhat unique taste, is also trying to find a way to control the fighting in his harem. Although women from ordinary people's families have poor vision, they are even somewhat illiterate. But in terms of scheming, there are no women from official families, not that many.
Thinking of this, Duan Jin suddenly understood. This owner has been refusing to agree to the draft, and he has been doing it for a long time just for this reason. He was worried that if women from official families entered the palace, one or a group of spoilers might appear due to family reasons. He was worried that a virtuous concubine would appear in his own palace. Or there might be another woman who makes trouble.
For a woman from a commoner background, even a woman from the Jianghu family, her family has no status in the court, which means she has no one to support her. Without the help of their natal family background, they would have no support even if they had ambitions. What's more, most of the women in the palace now don't even have a natal family. Even if he comes from a political background, Jianghu is not an officialdom, let alone a palace. In the palace, no matter how good your fist or kick skills are, it is useless.
In the palace, what is needed is family background and brains. If one can gain the upper hand in palace battles by relying on martial arts, then I am afraid that the mothers of all the emperors in the past were born in the world of martial arts. But in fact, in all dynasties, except for the master in front of me, most of the time, women in the world could not even enter the palace. Especially in this dynasty, although Emperor Taizu was also born in Jianghu, he was even more discriminatory towards Jianghu people.
Throughout the dynasties, the concubines in the harem were either from noble families, from the families of the second-ranked Jinshi, or from civilian families. There is no emperor who would allow Jianghu people to enter the palace. Of course, besides Dong Qianhong, Lin Hanyan, and several former princesses, this master was surrounded by others. It is not true that there is no one who comes from a real official family. Instead, they were raised outside the palace, or they were unwilling to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, Duan Jin couldn't help but smile. She smiled and stunned Huang Qiong who was hugging her. However, Duan Jin did not explain much, but stood up from Huang Qiong's arms, gave him a gentle push and said: "Your Majesty, it is time to handle government affairs. Although you are not in the capital, you still have to be diligent, right? If you always hang around a woman like me, In the human room, some people should say that I am a beauty and a disaster."
At this time, Huang Qiong was somewhat confused. Seeing Duan Jin like this, he finally nodded and left. But before leaving, he hugged Duan Jin and kissed her deeply again, until both of them were a little emotional. Huang Qiong, who remembered that Duan Jin was pregnant now, suppressed the anger in his heart, let go of the half-dressed beauty, and returned to the place where he was handling government affairs.
Huang Qiong originally thought that since he had made concessions, Liu Jinli would also make some concessions. As a result, after a few days, Kou Zhun was still arguing with Liu Jinli. I didn't expect Liu Jinli to be so tenacious. Even though he knows that he has little chance of winning, he still sticks to his bottom line and would rather be criticized than retreat. Huang Qiong could imagine how much pressure he would face from the former puppet emperor's subordinates.
However, even though he admired this guy a little, Huang Qiong really couldn't bear it. In the past few days, I noticed that Duan Jin always looked uneasy. Huang Qiong, who knew what Duan Jin was worried about, left Kou Zhun to continue talking to him. As for himself, he planned to take Duan Jin and others to Dali. However, considering that Duan Jin was pregnant, Huang Qiong still had someone prepare a sedan.
As for the matter of sitting in Zhenjiang Mansion, Huang Qiong left it to Lu Mengzheng. After receiving this explanation from Huang Qiong, Lu Mengzheng was somewhat hesitant. Looking at Lu Mengzheng, who was a little uneasy, Huang Qiong patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and said: "With Lu Qing here, I have nothing to worry about. With Lu Qing's talent, as long as you want to do it, there is nothing in the world that you can't do." That guy has good toughness, but it’s a pity that he has some tricks up his sleeve.”
"Unless he really doesn't want his biological father's coffin, he will eventually compromise. He is just hesitant now. Even if we don't put pressure on him, I don't believe his father's old troops. I won't put any pressure on him behind his back. Besides, I'm still here, right? If there is anything else, and Lu Qing can't make the final decision, why don't you rush it to me eight hundred miles away?"
Huang Qiong's encouragement made Lu Mengzheng smile bitterly. He did not think of this Lord and just let him go. At this time, he wanted to take a group of women to Dali Kingdom. Of course, Lu Mengzheng knew that even Concubine Duan was the eldest princess of Dali. But this Lord would never go to Dali Kingdom for a woman. No matter how lustful this master is, he still has this bottom line.
But at this time, is it really good to take a group of women to Dali? Especially since there is still a war over there, the safety along the way, and the impact that bringing a group of women to the army will have on the morale of the army. But no matter how hard he tried, the Lord just couldn't listen. But unlike before, this master did not reveal even a single word about the real purpose of going to Dali Country.
Huang Qiong, who was originally very good at accepting advice, was so stubborn that Lu Mengzheng was helpless. Fortunately, Huang Qiong agreed to take Cao Rui's cavalry with him, except for leaving a thousand cavalry for Lu Mengzheng, and the rest as bodyguards. In this way, Lu Mengzheng was at least relatively assured of the young emperor's safety. Of course, if Lu Mengzheng knew about this master, he would insist on going to Dali.
If it was really for Duan Jin, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. If it weren't for Duan Jin, let alone a good scholar, who in Dali would be qualified enough to allow Huang Qiong, the current emperor of Da Qi, to make such a move as a military commander? Of course, Huang Qiong went to Dali State partly because of Duan Jin, but more importantly to completely eliminate the threat of Shanchanhou Mansion.
Of course, it is also for the sake of stability on the southwest border of Daqi. It is easy to destroy Shanchanhou Mansion, but after solving Shanchanhou Mansion's worries, where will the tribes originally controlled by Shanchanhou Mansion go? It is a problem that needs to be dealt with. These tribes are not only of the same race as the tribes on the Central Guizhou Road and Guangnan West Road in Daqi, but they are even the same tribe at all.
