There are three thousand beauties in the harem, which does not mean that the total of three thousand ladies, old and young, can be the emperor casually.
The spring night is short and the days are high. From then on, the king does not go to court early and has no time to attend banquets. In spring, he travels all night long. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and he is pampered by three thousand people.
The poem is not talking about the emperor, but Yang Yuhuan, which means that there are so many old and young ladies, there are three thousand in total, the emperor is not ruthless, but Yang Yuhuan can fight against him alone.
Three thousand is just an approximate number. In fact, many emperors don't even have 300 harems. Those who are more miserable may only have about thirty, and many of them are second-hand goods, such as Zhou Ke.
The emperor who had just ascended the throne in the Zhou Dynasty had a harem of about thirty people, if only based on his rank and status. Several of them were older than Zhou Ke in the military, and they were all left behind by his predecessors. The oldest among them, After four dynasties, if I could hold on to more live events, I would be able to play like six emperors.
There were many concubines in the previous dynasty, but after Zhou Ke ascended the throne, he let go of many of them, leaving only the more beautiful ones or those from relatively good family backgrounds, and then selected about twenty more and gave them grades.
He actually wants to keep them all, but the problem is that many of them are considered non-performing assets, and they will soon reach retirement age in a few years.
There are no queens, concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, constant presence, and promises. The various styles add up to exactly thirty-six people.
In the harem, these girls, young ladies, eldest sisters, and maids are like deaf canaries or old turtle doves. In short, their fate is in the hands of the emperor.
If you want to get ahead, you have to either gain divine favor or be more valuable than your son.
In fact, there is a direct relationship between obtaining divine grace and the importance of the mother to the son. First, obtain the divine grace, and then the mother will be valued based on the son. If there is no divine grace, where will the son come from?
Therefore, after Zhou Ke ascended the throne, the young ladies, eldest sisters, and old ladies in the harem tried their best to seduce the emperor. Those with looks relied on beauty, those without looks relied on skills, those without skills relied on acting skills, and those with nothing, relied on Luck, Zhou Ke was unscrupulous and randomly selected.
No matter what they rely on to get into the palace, they all look the same. They all feel that Zhou Ke, who was born as a general, must have never eaten any good pork. He must at least try it one by one. Not to mention sleeping in the same place every day and night, one by one. Wave the favor at least once to see who is more capable.
As a result, this group of old and young ladies found out that Zhou Ke was quite difficult to control.
At first, they thought Zhou Ke was looking for looks, and whoever was pretty would go to sleep with him.
Later it was discovered that there was a certain degree of randomness in who Zhou Ke slept with.
In the end, it was discovered that Zhou Ke slept with whoever was rich, regardless of whether it was the young lady or the old lady.
Until recently, these young and old ladies also figured out what was going on.
Sure, Zhou Ke came here based on money. Whoever had the money would go to whoever he wanted. He was almost fooling around, and the concubine had no money anymore, so he started sleeping randomly, not necessarily going to anyone else. It seemed to him that everything was extinguished. Similar.
In fact, among the thirty-six women, only twenty-nine were inherited by Zhou Ke from his predecessors, and the remaining seven were sent to him by foreign dynasties after he ascended the throne.
Logically speaking, the emperor has the right to choose his concubine, but this right must be based on the premise of having money.
If you don't have money and still want to choose a concubine, then you will be like the fatuous emperor in the previous dynasty and only focus on free prostitution.
Zhou Ke also wants to have sex for free, and he also wants people, and he doesn’t have to spend the money, so he has to blackmail him a little bit. But after all, he has just ascended the throne and is building an image. Furthermore, he doesn’t want to follow the path of a faint king or a tyrant, so he can only make do with it. Yes, after all, concubines are daily necessities, not necessities. If you have them, you can have them, and there is no need to waste them.
There is a saying that Zhou Ke is not without money, but he chose the former among his brother Pao Ze and the women in the harem. He would rather use money to support the poor troops in Beibianguan and various Zhechong mansions than choose concubines to expand the harem. .
At this time, Zhou Ke brought Wen and Wu to Fulin Palace, the palace where Concubine Rong lived.
It should be explained here that the word "palace" is separated. Palace, the emperor's own bedroom, and Taiqian Palace where government affairs are handled are all called palaces, including Jingzhi Palace. The palace is where the concubines live.
Among the thirty-six people in the palace, Concubine Rong's appearance is considered to be among the top three. She is a bit fat, but not fat. The other one is rich. She comes from the Zhao family in the south, not the main family, but a branch.
Concubine Rong was also a girl sent by the Zhao family when the emperor ascended the throne. The master's family could not choose a girl of suitable age, marriage, talent and beauty, so a branch of the talented family selected Zhao Rongrong.
When the emperor arrived at Fulin Palace, Concubine Rong had just taken a bath. When the palace maid heard that Zhou Ke was here, she was overjoyed and went to greet her barefoot.
"Why did your Majesty come so early today? He misses me so much."
After giving the gift, Concubine Rong gave the emperor a big wink.
The concubines in the palace all know that Zhou Ke is not a serious person. He doesn't like those who are old-fashioned, but likes simple and rough things, which can also be understood as debauchery.
Before, he went to Four Seasons Villa to watch some kind of dance. When Zhou Ke came back, he had to ask several concubines in the harem to perform the big split for him, which is also known as the split horse.
Some time ago, I randomly selected a dormitory and went to an old maid's house. Zhou Ke was so excited that he had to ask a maid who was almost osteoporotic to perform a split horse. I almost cracked someone's hip.
"Hey, my beloved concubine, I haven't seen you for a long time, she looks a little more beautiful again."
Boss Zhou laughed, waved his hand, and Wen Wu left with the maids around him.
As soon as the person left, Boss Zhou directly picked up Concubine Rong.
"I love you so much, but I miss you so much."
Concubine Rong put her left hand around Zhou Ke's neck, and stretched out her white onion-like fingers on her right hand, drawing circles back and forth on Lao Ba's chest.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty today? You're so anxious."
"I miss you, haha."
As soon as Boss Zhou carried Concubine Rong to the bed, his fox tail was exposed: "I heard that Concubine Rong always rewards the ladies in the palace recently, but your relatives in Beijing came to visit you in the palace."
As soon as the pretty-faced Concubine Rong heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she struggled and jumped to the ground.
"His Majesty."
Concubine Rong narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "You don't want to borrow money from me again, do you?"
"If so."
Boss Zhou smiled dryly and said, "I miss my beloved concubine."
"Are you really not doing it for money?"
"Um...if my beloved concubine is there, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Concubine Rong turned her face away, sat on the bed, and pouted: "No."
Boss Zhou was unhappy: "It's not like I won't return it to you."
"I haven't paid it back yet, huh."
"Really not?"
"How dare I lie to Your Majesty?" Concubine Rong said angrily with a twisted face: "That is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and I would not dare to behead him."
Boss Zhou was greatly disappointed: "Then you can rest, I will go to the other concubines to lie... and ask them there."
After finishing speaking, Boss Zhou turned around and left.
"Wait a minute."
Concubine Rong pouted and asked angrily: "How much can I borrow?"
Boss Zhou's face was filled with joy: "My beloved concubine is indeed rich."
"Why is Your Majesty always like this?" Concubine Rong was furious and scolded her as if she hated iron. "You are the emperor. How can the emperor be short of money? The sisters at home were very envious when they saw that I had entered the palace." , they all thought that I was living a good life in the palace."
Boss Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
"What is it? I don't dare to go back to visit my relatives. You have never given me anything."
Boss Zhou continued to nod: "Yes, yes."
"I either don't want to lend you money, or I don't like the fact that you always borrow money from us concubines. It would be embarrassing if word spread."
The more Concubine Rong spoke, the more resentful she became: "When I enter the palace, I will be your woman for the rest of my life. If you want money, I will borrow it from my relatives and give it to you. But it can't always be like this. It's easy to say, but it's not melodious."
Boss Zhou still nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah."
"I have made an agreement with you. Before the end of the year, this will be the last time. Next time, I will be shameless..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Wu suddenly shouted from outside: "Your Majesty, General Lu Baichuan of Yidao Weilang wants to see you."
Boss Zhou turned around and cursed: "Tell him to get away from me. I won't see him anymore."
"Important matters."
"Is it important?"
Boss Zhou thought for a while, and then said to Concubine Rong with a flattering look on his face: "My beloved, please wait for a moment. I will come back when I go. When I come back, my beloved will lend you money...and teach me."
Concubine Rong sighed deeply, and Boss Zhou left.
After Lao Ba arrived at the threshold, Concubine Rong heard a few words, such as membership, 30,000 yuan, accounts, etc. Then Boss Zhou looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, as if he was mentally ill.
Just when Concubine Rong was confused, Boss Zhou came back with his head held high.
“Damn it, I’ll give you a little bit of money to go crazy like this!”
Walking over quickly, Boss Zhou picked up Concubine Rong, stabbed her, and ripped off Concubine Rong's clothes.
Concubine Rong exclaimed: "My concubine's silkworm clothes."
"I will buy you ten more pieces." Boss Zhou turned Concubine Rong over and pushed her down: "Hold it!"
