Regarding Jeanne's statement, Guo Kang was noncommittal.
He looked back and forth and found that Theodora was not there, so he told Jeanne that there was no need to pay so much attention.
"The current political structure of the Purple Horde Khanate is not necessarily deliberately formed as you said." Guo Kang explained: "It's not that we deliberately want this result, but... it won't work otherwise."
"Our current situation is not just intermarriage with the Great Khan and Greek noblewomen, but the Greek noblewomen are almost controlling the entire court."
"Why is this?" Although he was known as the crown prince, Zhu Wenkui didn't seem to understand at all.
"I don't know the specific process, but I just can't fight," Guo Kang said.
"The Khan's court is not closed to nobles from all over the country. As long as they show loyalty and are recognized, they can come to Dadu, enter the palace, participate in various social activities, and even get appointments and handle affairs. So, in theory, anywhere Anyone can come.”
"But in fact, it's not possible at all. Just look at the past performances of these noble ladies. Even a layman like me can see it." Guo Kang said helplessly: "At present, most of the upper-class people may be the only ones here. The situation is better.”
"My adoptive father previously hoped that my adoptive mother would come forward and organize the Han women to deal with the Greek women headed by the queen. But there were too few people here, and my adoptive mother was not interested in this, so it failed."
"None of the ladies from other places are reliable?" Jeanne asked.
"Yes. When Basil III married a girl from a Serbian noble family, it was already his highlight moment." Guo Kang said: "The main reason is that these people are really not good at it."
"Look, since the establishment of the account, there have been many Khans from generation to generation. Has the situation changed when they faced Greek noblewomen? Not at all."
"The Queen Mother Helena also has a reason to say, where have I been exposed to it since I was a child? I am in the circle of Greek noble ladies. Where are these barbarian village girls from, and they are playing palace battles with me."
"What level are these ladies from now on?" He himself couldn't bear it: "In the beginning, everyone wanted ladies from other origins to check and balance them, but in the end there were not many who were useful. Now even Rose Noble ladies and so on are used to fill the bill. Can she fight against the Greek ladies? No. You know she doesn’t have the ability!"
"Is that a problem with the marriage system?" Zhu Wenkui thought for a while and found a breakthrough: "It is more reliable to use the system to solve the problem than relying on personal abilities."
"Now you don't have a harem in the strict sense. There is actually only one 'concubine' for Bai Saihan. Doesn't this mean that the number of places has been reduced?"
"It won't work if there are multiple quotas." Guo Kang denied his idea: "In the early days, the Purple Tent was indeed not a strict monogamy system, but as a result, the female relatives of the major noble families in Greece were looking for opportunities. Go to the harem and have a palace fight."
"Women from other ethnic groups couldn't fight against them. As time passed, the palace was still filled with Greeks. Moreover, that scene was even scarier than now." Guo Kang said: "They have squeezed out all the 'barbarian women'. So begins Greece’s daily infighting.”
"The internal fighting among Greek officials is terrifying enough. To the Great Khan, this situation is equivalent to dozens of female officials fighting a civil war in their own backyard every day. The intensity is not comparable to that of Seris," he said. He shook his head repeatedly: "People with poor psychological quality can't hold on."
"To avoid this situation, it cannot be solved by the harem system. Instead, it must be stipulated that no Greek women are allowed to enter the harem." Guo Kang said: "But in this case, the Greek nobles and officials will not be happy, and feel that they are treated differently. People. We can’t really get into trouble with them. Look, what should we do..."
"..."
Zhu Wenkui imagined the scene at that time and decided not to mention it.
"Nowadays, although Greek ladies still have their own circles, this 'ladies society' has a large scope and is much looser in organization. It is actually much better." Guo Kang said: "And in this way, for those in Ross County The Lord is also more friendly. After all, they also have their own family status and official positions, so they can't be squeezed out directly like in the harem. "
"So you see, everything is in a relatively benign state now..." He sighed: "At least the relationship between Bai Saihan and the Queen is not bad now, and the Queen and Tuo Huan are not fighting..."
"Then let me think about what else to do." Zhu Wenkui thought for a moment again.
"Oh, by the way. I heard that the Purple Horde Khanate also adopted Mongolian customs at the time. There were different 'O'er's', that is, palaces, in different places. Each O'er had a Ketun, and An uncertain number of other concubines. Each of them can theoretically be considered a queen."
"Then, how did it suddenly become like this? Even the concubine was gone?" He asked curiously: "The Greek master only said that it was a doctrine or something, and he didn't give any specific reasons."
"Can this system help?" Jeanne looked unconvinced.
"It's better than nothing." Zhu Wenkui said: "Look, if there is still a palace in the Rus area, and only Rus women are allowed to be admitted in it, then it can be guaranteed that there will be at least one Rus Ketun, who will not be raped by the Greeks. Kill the woman. If something really happens, you can also use her name to suppress the Greeks. Isn’t that okay?"
"But isn't this the habit of the prairie people? Isn't it the custom of the Hu people?" Jeanna didn't seem to like it very much: "Isn't it reasonable to learn this?"
"You believe in worshiping God, and you still tell me about the customs of the Hu people." Zhu Wenkui reached out and grabbed Jeanna's face, pinching it in retaliation: "Look what you look like? The Hu people are taller than you. You have to be like China..."
"Oh, poof, it's a lucky person -" Jeanne defended while trying to break free.
"And I found that the Han generals on your side are too few." He pointed out: "You also accompany the Greeks to implement the monogamy system? This is such a disadvantage."
"I would say that the harem is the orthodox Chinese system. It is not adapted to the local climate here. There should be problems with the details of the system arrangement. What we need to do is not to abolish it directly, but to find knowledgeable people to slowly supplement and improve it."
"Pfft, pfft..." Jeanne hurriedly denied while still struggling.
She is stronger than Zhu Wenkui, but after all, Zhu Wenkui is older and taller, and his arms are longer than hers. Although he suffered a loss last time, he was clearly prepared this time and made full use of his advantages.
Jeanne struggled for a long time, but couldn't reach his face, so she had to use her strength to break off his hand. But Zhu Wenkui refused to let go, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..." Guo Kang had no choice but to start a fight again.
