Song Gexing

Chapter 262 The arrogant Zhao Fang

It turns out that since the Song Dynasty destroyed Xixia, the King of Goryeo understood that the Liao Kingdom could no longer threaten the Song Dynasty. As a traditional country of Goryeo that surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty, it was more honorable to submit to the Song Dynasty than to the Liao Kingdom.

He had been unable to find what Zhao Fang liked. Suddenly, he received news from a Korean businessman that Zhao Fang liked foreign beauties, which made him overjoyed.

In addition, the two Goryeo women who originally lived in the Song Dynasty had given birth to children for Zhao Fang and had long been canonized as concubines. Moreover, Wang Fangji was still a member of the Goryeo royal family.

This made the King of Korea suddenly feel that he had found a treasure. He gritted his teeth and happened to have selected a group of beauties to expand his harem this time. He simply selected eighteen of them and gave them to Zhao Fang.

"I don't have a reputation for being lustful over the years, right? What are they doing? How do you think you should reply to them?"

Zhao Fang asked the ministers with a guilty conscience. He was afraid that Gao Jujian's little tricks would be discovered by the ministers, and he would have to bear the blame.

Looking at the hypocritical emperor, Han Qi said angrily: "Do you need to say how to reply? This kind of matter is worthy of the officials summoning the ministers to discuss, and ordering the officials along the way to do the escort mission."

Fu Bi didn't criticize him, but said with a smile: "When the officials were young, they wanted to travel all over the world, just to see the customs and customs of various places. This time, it's better. I can learn about the customs and customs of various places from these women without going out. This will save me a lot of worry."

"Hey! Yan Guo is right, why didn't I think of that!"

Wen Yanbo smiled, his tone was full of praise, Fu Bi suddenly laughed proudly, but Han Qi rolled his eyes and muttered: "Grandma Fu just likes to talk, why bring this up if there is nothing to worry about? The thoughts of the southern tour are yours to bear."

"What are you mumbling about, Zhigui?"

"Who muttered? Your ears are hard to use as you get older. You heard wrong."

Han Qi didn't admit that he had spoken. He could just call Fu Bi Granny in private, but if he heard it, he wouldn't start a fight with him.

Zhao Fang had pointed ears and had already heard clearly. He suppressed a smile and looked at Fu Bi's eyes full of amusement. This old man loved to talk when he was young, but now he is even more nagging as he gets older.

However, Fu Bi is still very good at doing things. Regardless of civil or military affairs, he can see the problem sharply, and make suggestions to deal with the matter, but his mouth is a little bit broken.

Compared to Bao Zheng, Fu Bi is actually more approachable. It's just because of his personality. Bao Zheng loves to troll people. Of course, it may also be related to his long-term role as a public speaker.

Han Qi, for example, is also a public official. Although he doesn't like to quarrel with others as much as Bao Zheng, he can still quarrel with others if he seizes the opportunity.

"Okay, okay, don't talk to each other. There are still many political affairs in the outer court. Let's go and let the officials have a rest and recharge their batteries."

Wang Yaochen said with a smile. Zhao Fang was immediately dumbfounded, pointing at him and speechless for a long time, but Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo smiled like chicken thieves, and they both bowed their hands and left.

Wang Gongchen glared at Wang Yaochen dissatisfiedly, but didn't say anything to him. Han Qi's mouth twitched, looking like he was having a hard time enduring it.

"That's too bad! Wang Boyong is the big bad guy. I must find an opportunity to settle accounts with him..."

Zhao Fang looked furious when he came to Han Xuena, but people knew from his look that he was not really angry, so they ignored him.

Song Yinzhang, who was chatting with Han Xue, asked curiously: "What's wrong with the official family? Wang Xianggong is an important minister of the court, how can he say that about him."

When Song Yinzhang grew up, although she was still loved by everyone and kept ignorant of worldly affairs, she already knew how to care about the relationship between ministers and the emperor. In the past, she had never cared about outside affairs.

Zhao Pan'er said with a smile: "Yin Zhang, why don't you care about him? He just felt that his thoughts were revealed by Mr. Wang and he felt shameless." "Sister Pan'er, you!"

Zhao Fang glared at Zhao Pan'er, but seeing her angelic appearance he couldn't bear to talk about her, so he turned around and glared at Gao Jujian outside the door angrily.

Gao Jujian ignored him. He knew why the emperor was glaring at him, but didn't you agree to it? The events of the previous dynasty quickly spread to the inner palace, and Zhao Fang agreed to this.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Fang wanted his wives to help him analyze government affairs. He couldn't let the talents of these women go to waste. Who wanted his wife to include Xiao Guanyin, a virtuous queen who was famous in history?

Although she was the queen of the Liao Kingdom in history, the military and political affairs of the Liao Kingdom were no less important than those of the Song Dynasty, and the relationships were more complicated and difficult to deal with.

It is true that Xiao Guanyin gave him many suggestions over the years, which gave him a lot of confidence when negotiating with ministers.

Moreover, his delegation of power to the harem queen made his harem more harmonious, which he had never thought of before.

Only later did I understand why. It turned out that his wives were busy helping him organize documents and analyze military and political affairs every day, and they had no time to think about those little ones.

Those who are good at government affairs gathered together to analyze government affairs, and those who were good at military affairs gathered together to analyze military operations. There was a big sand table in the Queen's palace.

Murong Shuanghua often did this with Meng Xin, but it turned out to be the other way around. Queen Meng Xin, a delicate girl, now studies military strategies every day, while Xiao Guanyin, who was originally good at both civil and military affairs, is now dealing with government affairs. thing.

"By the way, Sister Xue'er, Aunt Momo said yesterday that Yizhou..."

"That's enough! If the officials continue to talk nonsense like this, I will ask the emperor and my mother to comment."

Zhao Fang was remembering something and planned to talk to Han Xue, but he was interrupted as soon as he spoke, and he glared at him with a frosty face.

Only then did he remember that he was talking too much. It was okay to say this in a boudoir, but not in front of a palace maid and a eunuch.

When it comes to Xiao Momo's identity, in fact, this kind of thing is too common in the Liao country, but in the Song Dynasty, the officials didn't know it at the beginning, and it was too late when they found out.

That was Xiao Momo who was doing the dowry, Xiao Guanyin's distant aunt. This matter later became taboo in the Prince's Mansion and was not allowed to be mentioned.

But in the years after Zhao Fang ascended the throne, Wen Chengwu must have become a little proud of his achievements. He began to have fun in the boudoir and often called Xiao Momo Aunt.

Of course, the main reason is that his thinking is different from that of his wives and concubines. This kind of thing will not be a big deal in later generations. There is no blood relationship, and he is his wife's distant aunt.

For example, if you are in a relationship and break up, and your next girlfriend is your ex-girlfriend's aunt, at most you will only be scolded secretly for being shameless, but the law will not pursue you anyway.

Moreover, Xiao Momo's Khitan people don't care about such things at all. In history, Xiao Guanyin married Yelu Hongji, the relationship is complicated.

As mentioned before, Xiao Guanyin's father is Xiao Pingjin's younger brother and Yelu Hongji's biological grandmother, but there is another layer of relationship that is also a close blood relationship.

That is, Xiao Guanyin's mother is Yelu Hongji's biological aunt, which means that the wife her father married is her biological niece. Xiao Guanyin is both Yelu Hongji's cousin and his biological cousin.

Don't think that Xiao Guanyin married her uncle because her mother was not favored. She was the most favored sister of Liao Xingzong, and Yizhou was her fiefdom and could be hereditary.
