Li Yi has explained so much, and the meaning is already clear. Li Xun is now at the critical moment for blind date and marriage, and we will talk about Xiao Lian later.

Li Xun sighed. He didn't expect that marrying a concubine would have so many twists and turns and troubles. It seemed that the TV series he had watched in that world said that men in ancient times could live and drink without restraint as long as they had money and status.

, a group of wives and concubines, it seems like nonsense now.

Li Yi chuckled and said: "Gouzi, since Xiaolian insists on obeying you, and the two of you have grown up together, there is no need to talk about your feelings. Even if I become a concubine, I am afraid I will get your full love and care."

Li Xun nodded and said seriously: "Of course."

Li Yi smiled and said softly: "Dog, work hard, work hard, and make more contributions. When your title reaches the rank of Duke or official, I will intercede for you with the emperor and reward you.

Xiaolian is a concubine, so her status is no longer that of an ordinary concubine."

Ah! Can a concubine also receive a royal decree and a reward?

A married woman is a woman who enjoys a title. A married woman enjoys various ceremonial benefits. Generally, only higher-ranking officials, their mothers and wives can get them. They are commonly known as "Mrs. Imperial Concubines". I have never heard that concubines can also get them.

Titled by decree.

"You need to find someone to teach you some knowledge and etiquette."

Li Yi shook his head and then explained.

Naturally, concubines are not allowed to interfere with the rights of a legitimate wife, but there are also special circumstances, such as when the husband dies and a concubine is buried with him. The court will usually give a posthumous imperial edict to show his loyalty. There are also cases where the husband has made great contributions to the country, and some of them have male children.

The concubines of the descendants will also be granted imperial edicts. For example, Zhao Bo'an has three concubines who were granted seventh-grade imperial edicts. Another example is Yang Daosi and Liu Jie, both of whom had a concubine who was granted imperial edicts. As for An

Wang Lizhong only has an old wife and no concubines, so I won’t go into details. However, these people mentioned above are just a few, very few. The number of people in the entire Jin Dynasty who can receive such treatment can be counted on one hand.

After hearing this, Li Xun spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect getting married would be so troublesome."

Li Yi said seriously: "How can a marriage be a trivial matter?"

Li Xun shook his head: "I don't have high requirements for my wife, just be sincere to me."

"If you were still the old dog, it would have been rare to find a wife, so you wouldn't need to have any requirements. But now, your status and status are different from those before. It's a bit naive to say such things again.

Already."

Li Yi said quietly: "You have to remember that my aunt is doing this for your own good. There are some truths to it. If you think about it yourself, you will eventually figure it out."

Li Yi obviously didn't want to continue talking.

Li Xun sighed, stood up and left.

In a depressed mood, Li Xun went to Fan Zhongyun for a drink.

"Li Xun, what are you worried about?"

"It's not my marriage yet."

Li Xun put the matter aside.

Fan Zhongyun smiled, poured Li Xun a glass of wine, and said softly: "Your marriage is not yours to make the decision in the first place, so you should be more open-minded!"

Li Xun drank a glass of wine silently: "It's just a marriage, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "That's because you think it's too simple."

Li Xun looked at Fan Zhongyun doubtfully.

Fan Zhongyun asked: "Li Xun, your current official position is not low, but until now, apart from Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, has anyone taken the initiative to get close to you? I won't tell you the reason, but come to think of it

You also understand."

Li Xun was silent. Fan Zhongyun said that it was indeed the case. He had been in Fengjing for more than six years. Apart from Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu, he did not have many official friends. The reason behind this was that Li Xun

Understand something. In the eyes of many people, I am a poor person with no education and a lowly background. It is only because of Li Yi's relationship that I have been favored by Zhao Zhi and promoted to my current position step by step. In their eyes,

They are a nouveau riche themselves, and they don't bother to deal with them at all.

Fan Zhongyun said softly: "Li Xun, I once told you that whether you want it or not, you can't stay out of the struggle between King Qi and King Chu. In recent events, you have performed quite well, and you have won

With the emperor's approval and attention, your aunt will push you even more to the top. Political marriage is undoubtedly a shortcut that can greatly enhance your connections and political status, and you have no choice. After all, your Li family

, there are only two men now, Uncle Li will not say more, and you...are undoubtedly your aunt's only hope."

Li Xun sighed: "I'm just afraid that in the end, I will disappoint my aunt."

Fan Zhongyun said quietly: "If King Qi wants to compete with King Chu, he must have a political force in the court. With this political force, it seems that Concubine Li is ready to let you open up the situation."

Li Xun was confused and said: "Didn't the Emperor allow King Qi to contact the courtiers? With his ability and prestige, he is probably much better than me to do such a thing."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "The King of Qi has this ability, but it is a pity that he does not have this opportunity. In other words, the King of Chu and the Yang family will not give him this opportunity. The dispute between the King of Qi and the King of Chu can actually be regarded as Liu Jie's

The fight between the Liu family represented by Yang Daosi and the Yang family represented by Yang Daosi, two powerful families."

Li Xun nodded, somewhat understanding. Whether it was the King of Qi or the King of Chu, there was actually a political force behind him that supported him. No wonder Zhao Zhi said something and allowed Zhao Xun to make friends with the ministers of the court, but Zhao Xun remained the same.

He behaved in a low-key manner and rarely interacted with ministers in the DPRK. From this point of view, it was actually unnecessary. The DPRK was originally dominated by the two parties of Liu Jie and Yang Daosi. Both parties had princes who had their own support. Even if Zhao Xun wanted to make friends

, and can only make friends with ministers within the political circle of the left prime minister's party.

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "According to what you said, King Qi already has Liu Jie's support, what else does he need to do?"

Fan Zhongyun said sternly: "Politics is like a river. The water flow is unpredictable. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Liu Jie supports the King of Qi, but he is by no means that kind of dead-set. Moreover, Liu Jie is old and about to die. After his death,

, What kind of attitude will the Liu family have towards King Qi? In my opinion, in the end, King Qi will not be able to compete with King Chu at all."

"how do I say this?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "In terms of literature, Liu Jie's power in the court is not inferior to that of Yang Daosi, but in terms of military affairs, there is a huge gap between the two. Although Liu Jie, as the left prime minister, was in charge of

The Ministry of War seems to control the country's military power, but in fact it is in name only. If it were not for the full support of Zhao Zhi, Yang Daosi put the overall situation first and was willing to cooperate with him. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that he would not be able to mobilize even a thousand soldiers, and Yang Daosi

What about here? His younger brother Yang Daoan is the governor of Shuzhou. He has served in this position for more than ten years. He has been in Shu for a long time and has controlled an army of fifty thousand. After so many years, some of the court's commanders no longer understand him.

, if it were not for the existence of Yang Daosi, Yang Daoan would most likely have separatist rule and self-reliance. There is also Yang Daosi's younger brother Yang Daolin, who was once the general of the left army of the Forbidden Army. After the White Turban Army was destroyed, Yang Daosi

He was recommended and promoted to be the military governor of Hedong, and his power was even greater. Another example was Yang Hongzhi, the military governor of Laizhou, etc. They paid equal attention to civil and military affairs and complemented each other. This is how the Yang family came into being."

Li Xun was surprised and said: "According to what you said, Liu Jie is far inferior to Yang Daosi, so why are they still on par with each other in the court today?"
