Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The emperor's harem is not something that can be entered just by entering. This has been the case in all dynasties. Even the princes and princesses must have strict rules when entering.

Although Changsun Wuji is a relative of the emperor, he still has to follow the rules. Unlike Li Shen, he

Li Shen is a prince, and a prince of his son's generation. Every time he enters the palace, he is given a large cart and a small amount of gifts, so he usually only needs to inform the master of the harem, Empress Changsun,

Under the supervision of the entourage dispatched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can go to two places, one is Dajidian and the other is Lizhengdian.

Apart from these two places, he can only go there if he follows His Majesty or is summoned by a decree, such as Yajingju and Shenlong Palace.

Other than that it's all forbidden territory.

Changsun Wuji was a relative, so he still had the opportunity to enter the harem. On the same day, he ordered someone to go to the palace to report.

Submit your surname and rank to the Palace of Etiquette Bureau.

After registering in the Shangyi Bureau, it will be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to verify the identity.

Another important part of this is to submit it to the Queen for approval. Whether you agree or disagree, not everyone can come in.

Your status in the palace must be at least concubine or higher to be eligible to apply for visitation, but whether you agree or not depends on whether you have status in the palace and whether you have a good relationship with the Queen and the Emperor.

A concubine who is not favored will basically think that she will not apply and will not agree.

After the morning court ended the next day, Changsun Wuji came to the harem gate to wait. His sister would definitely not disagree.

After a while, a eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out. He was a visitor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"But Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong?" the visitor asked loudly,

"Yes." Changsun Wuji agreed.

This is the step in which the chamberlain takes the roll call, and also checks the identity token. Finally, the visitor is responsible for leading.

It's understandable that the rules are cumbersome.

This is Changsun Wuji. Others might not be able to get in.

Two guards and five eunuchs followed along the way, all the way to the Li Zheng Hall.

There is also a roll call and physical examination here. What is the purpose of meeting the Queen? There are also set times.

After a long time of work, Changsun Wuji finally entered the Lizheng Hall and walked through the garden to the front hall.

After a while, Queen Changsun came out.

"I pay my respects to the Queen."

Changsun Wuji bowed deeply. There is a difference between a monarch and a minister. Although she is a younger sister, she is the monarch and she is a minister.

"Brother, there is no need to be polite. We are all a family. Come sit down and talk." Empress Changsun smiled. Her parents died young, and her brother has always taken care of her. She has a deep affection.

"Thank you, Queen, the courtesy cannot be discarded, this is what I should do." Changsun Wuji bowed again.

Throughout the ages, after a woman gets married, she no longer belongs to the same family, and even her name is written on her family's genealogy.

I can only rely on blood ties to take care of me, and this is enough.

If you are powerless, you are not even qualified to go home.

Empress Changsun is the mother of the country, and her mother is respected by the world. She is no longer a member of his eldest grandson's family. Changsun Wuji still understands this.

"Come here, let's serve tea. I wonder why my brother is here today?" Queen Changsun asked.

Since her parents are away, Empress Zhangsun does not have to go home to visit relatives during the holidays. Zhangsun Wuji sometimes exchanges letters.

Tell her about the current situation of Changsun's family, but Changsun Wuji rarely enters the palace. He usually only comes in to bring gifts during birthdays.

"Back to the Empress, I came today to ask the Empress to intercede." Changsun Wuji was half sitting on the chair, ready to stand up and salute at any time.

"Oh? Why are you interceding with me?" Empress Changsun was a little worried. Her elder brother was in a high position and had great power.

If it was something he couldn't solve, it must be a big deal, and it must be related to the eldest grandson's family, otherwise his brother would never make an exception and come to the palace to find him.

"Alas~~~ To be honest with the Queen, I am here because of matters with Prince Ji. I also asked the Queen to help smooth things over and make Prince Ji show mercy.

Otherwise, my eldest grandson’s family may be defeated. "Changsun Wuji sighed, with a sad look on his face.

"Shen'er?" Queen Changsun was a little surprised. He knew about the discord between her brother and Li Shen.

Li Shen reported her uncle and nephew for corruption and bending the law, and they were dismissed from office. She also knew about this.

But later His Majesty said that the matter was over, how could something happen again.

How did she know that because of his frail health, Li Shimin had issued a ban not to tell the queen anything about the outside world, so as not to worry the queen.

Due to the ban imposed by Li Shimin, Empress Changsun usually did not care much about government affairs. After all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.

So Queen Changsun doesn't know what happened these days.

How could Changsun Wuji know this? He thought that the Queen had not asked or had already begged His Majesty in the palace.

It was just because I was angry that I didn't look for him.

Now seeing Queen Changsun's surprised look, Changsun Wuji immediately realized that Queen Changsun didn't know about this at all.

He also thought that His Majesty or the Crown Prince must have not told Empress Changsun about the matter, for fear that she would be worried.

But at this point, whether he knew it or not, he had to ask the queen to come forward.

So he gritted his teeth and said to Queen Changsun:

"Queen Qi is indeed His Highness Prince Ji. He accused Huan'er of being a traitor to the country, and he was caught on the spot.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given the Crown Prince's order to dismiss his official position and reduce his rank, so he can return home to react. "

"What? Tongfan betrays the country!" Queen Changsun stood up suddenly when she heard this, frowning and looking at her brother.

This brother who has been dependent on him since childhood.

"Brother, what is going on? Why did King Ji say that Huan'er was a traitor to the country and was caught on the spot.

Could it be that Huan'er really did this? "Empress Changsun looked very unhappy. If her relatives had done something treasonous,

Then how can I have the dignity to continue to hold the position of queen?

"Queen, please calm down. Huan'er was just greedy and wanted to sell grain to Goguryeo. He didn't really want to collaborate with the enemy."

Seeing that the queen was angry, Changsun Wuji hurriedly explained the matter in detail.

"Bold, really bold. Your Majesty has been preparing for Goguryeo for several years. Don't you know, brother?

Who gave him the courage, and who indulged him so much?

Brother, this is all caused by your usual neglect of discipline. Fortunately, there is no big loss this time. Otherwise, how can I still be this queen! "

Queen Changsun shed tears angrily.

"Empress, the old minister is at fault. It is the old minister who failed to teach his son well." Changsun Wuji also looked very sad. It was not easy for his sister.

"Tell me, what else is there? Isn't this matter over? Your Majesty spared his life as a gift."

Changsun Wuji stopped talking nonsense and directly told all about the money Changsun Wuji owed and the matter about King Ji Li Shen asking for money.

(The article is a simplified version of Tang’s entry into the harem. Although it is not comprehensive, it is roughly the process.

And it can only be an audience with relatives, or an audience with a married woman.

The harem of the Tang Dynasty was similar to a small imperial court, divided into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Six Shang Bureau, and the Twenty-Four Secretaries.

Let’s search for details. )
