Although Gao Yuan had long expected that the rest of the Yan State basically had no combat effectiveness, so there was no suspense in the battle of Liaodong, and the victory of the Dai army was only a matter of time, but this battle went so smoothly that the real battle time was actually only one and a half months, and the Dai army captured the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, completely destroying the Yan State.

The news of victory is always good, although the population of Liaodong and Liaoxi is sparse, and the products are not rich, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, no matter what, it is also to expand its territory, increase its own strength, and by its destruction of the Yan State, the symbolic significance must not be underestimated, because this is still the first country to perish on the plateau, and it is also in the past hundred years, in addition to the Qin State, there has finally been another country that has destroyed the country.

However, although the Dai army has already taken over the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and captured the king of Yan, Xi Junchen, it will take a while to stabilize the situation in Liaodong and Liaoxi, so Jiang Huanwu cannot immediately collect his troops and return to Daijun, and he must not be able to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the plateau, of course, before the plateau decided to send troops to attack Liaodong, this was also taken into account, Bi Jing not everyone was able to rush back to participate in his enthronement ceremony, although there was some regret, but there was no way to do it.

However, Jiang Huanwu still sent Ling Feng, Luo Huan, and Jiang Mingxia to represent the army attacking Liaodong, rushed to Lingshou to participate in the crown ceremony on the plateau, and presented the big seal and bronze sword of Yan Wangxi to the plateau, in order to boast about the military exploits of emerging countries and increase the atmosphere of the ceremony.

When Gao Yuan received the good news, Ling Feng, Luo Huan, and Jiang Mingxia had already set off from Liaodong, and if they calculated the time, they could have arrived at Lingshou before the crown ceremony was held on the plateau.

And Lin Wenchun was also quite relieved to learn that his son was about to return safely to participate in the pawn, and Luo Huan made great contributions in this battle to capture Liaodong, and he would definitely be rewarded by the plateau, and he would be able to build a mansion to live in independently, no longer have to live in the palace, and he had one of his biggest concerns. And thinking that it won't be long before I can see Luo Huan again, I am also very happy.

So Gao Yuan also ordered that the representative army stationed in Yuyang County transport a batch of cattle, sheep and livestock to Liaodong County to reward the army, and announced that after the army returned, every soldier who participated in the war would be rewarded heavily, and meritorious personnel would be promoted.

After dealing with the matter of attacking Liaodong, Gao Yuan gave the order to set off from Daijun and advance to Lingshou, because this time more than 100,000 people migrated together, so the speed of walking was much slower, the last time Gao Yuan went to Lingshou to inspect, only nine days on the road, and this time it took fifteen days to reach Lingshou. However, Gao Yuan and the others were not in a hurry, and they also loosened their blands along the way, and at the same time, Gao Yuan also took time to inspect several county towns along the road.

After the group arrived in Lingshou, Shen Shen and Guo Chen, who were in charge of government affairs in Lingshou in advance, went out of the city for twenty miles, and welcomed Gao Yuan and his party into Lingshou City.

Although it has only been more than four months, the palace of Lingshou has undergone a lot of changes, because the wives and concubines of the plateau have chosen the houses and residences they live in, so during these four months, the construction of the palace is also focused on the selected houses, and the construction is carried out according to the requirements of the wives and concubines of the plateau. By the time the plateau group came to Lingshou again, all the works, as well as the outdoor roads and scenic spots, had been completed, and they were cleaned and completely inhabitable.

In addition, because the houses selected by the wives and concubines of the plateau are arranged along the lake, the repair and decoration projects by the lake have all been completed, railings have been built along the lake, a platform for fishing near the water, and a stone arch bridge has been built at the mouth of the lake, some aquatic plants have been planted in the lake, and two painting boats are moored on the shore, which can be used by the plateau and the wives and concubines to take a boat to the lake.

Because this time it was officially moved to Lingshou, so Gao Yuan and all the wives and concubines carried a large number of personal belongings, and almost all the things in the Daijun Mansion were emptied, and this time Gao Yuan was also very tolerant, as long as it was something that could be moved, he could move it if he wanted to, and as a result, each person was loaded with at least six or seven cars of things, and some people even loaded more than a dozen cars.

When they had entered the palace, each man called his servants, and brought into the palace all that he had brought with him, and set them up in his house, and each of them was assigned twenty soldiers to carry their belongings.

The royal palace, which was still a little deserted, suddenly became lively, and the road along the lake area was full of horse-drawn carriages, and there were constantly strong soldiers, carrying all kinds of items from the carts, or carrying or carrying them, and transporting them into different rooms, and according to the instructions of the wives and concubines, constantly adjusting the placement of various items, and in each house, there were many maids who were busy making beds and folding quilts, supporting tents and shawls, arranging flowers and hanging paintings, decorating the bedroom on one side, and decorating the room on the other.

Of course, in the process of transportation, it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps, and even some things will be dropped, but due to the influence of the plateau, the wives and concubines are very tolerant, and they do not blame the soldiers who carry the goods.

The Qianqing Palace where the plateau lives is not near the lake, but close to the Taihe Palace, but the residence is much larger than other wives and concubines, covering an area of more than 600 square meters, with a total of 16 rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, main halls, dining rooms, etc., all have all available. Of course, Takahara also brought a lot of things from Daigun, a full twelve carts, and at this time, under the command of Takahara, the items were carried from the carts to the houses and placed.

And Guo Chen has always been by the side of the plateau, accompanied the plateau to arrange the room together, found a vacancy, and said to the plateau: "Lord, the house of the palace is enough, but there are too few servants and daughters to serve the lord and the ladies, and after the lord is called the king, he left a large number of servants in the palace, and there are many inconveniences, serving the living life of the lord and the ladies. ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of a strict question, that is, after he became king, he would not use eunuchs, that is, eunuchs, in the palace.

Eunuchs appeared very early in China, and according to relevant information, it is speculated that as early as the Xia and Shang periods, there may have been castrated eunuchs in the court. By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou dynasty and the vassal states had castrated eunuchs in the court. There are records about eunuchs in the Book of Songs, Zhou Li, and the Book of Rites. Of course, the eunuch or eunuch system is not unique to China. The royal families of Korea, Vietnam, and Japan in East Asia also liked to use castrated men as internal treatment, and ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Persia, India, and Turkey in the Middle East all did the same.

However, in this era, there was no such name as eunuch, and eunuchs collectively referred to officials who served the royal family in the court, and not necessarily all castrated men, and castrated men were completely used as eunuchs after the Eastern Han Dynasty. In this era, castrated men were known as temple people.

Temple people are generally served by slaves, criminals, and prisoners of war, and their status in the court is very low, basically equivalent to slaves, and most of the people responsible for managing the affairs of the court are non-castrated eunuchs. However, because the temple people were able to get along with the members of the royal family, and some of them grew up with the royal family, some of them were able to win the trust of the royal family, and even held important positions and influenced the affairs of the country.

For example, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Qi Huan, had a favored eunuch who once held the power of the State of Qi, and after the death of the Duke of Qi Huan, there was an internal enemy in the State of Qi. There were even castrated eunuchs who served as the king's bodyguard, and Duke Wen of Jin, who was one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period with Duke Qi Huan, had a temple man (also known as Bo Yu) as his bodyguard. Moreover, Gao Yuan also knew that in this era, there was a famous eunuch, Zhao Gao, a favorite minister of Qin Wangzheng, who was now serving as the Middle East government commander of Qin State, and concurrently executed the Fu Xi Order. In another time and space, this Zhao Gao and the demise of the Qin Dynasty have a direct relationship and an unshirkable responsibility.

From the perspective of Gao Yuan's heart, he is very resistant to the eunuch or eunuch system, firstly, this system is too cruel and inhumane; Second, it is also because the eunuchs did not leave much good reputation in history, but more of a lesson from the eunuchs' dictatorship and control of the government, and of course Gao Yuan did not want such a thing to happen in his newly established kingdom.

However, Gao Yuan also knows that since he has crossed into this era, he must respect the habits of this era, and it is impossible to get rid of the limitations of this era, perhaps the eunuch or eunuch system is one of the limitations of this era.

In addition, after moving into the palace, the manpower is indeed insufficient, when Gao Yuan was in Dai County before, there were six or seven hundred people in the palace, including the singers, and the number of people was not small, and the mansion in Dai County was enough, but now the area of the palace has expanded nearly ten times, so such a little manpower is definitely not enough, whether it is to be a servant or a woman, it is indeed necessary to increase, but whether to appoint castrated eunuchs, Gao Yuan has not been able to make up his mind for a while.

Therefore, Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "I have to think about this matter again, and then decide in a few days, let's deal with these people in the next few days." ”

Although Guo Chen was very strange, it was a matter of course to increase the number of women and eunuchs in the palace, what else did Gao Yuan think, but Gao Yuan said this, of course Guo Chen didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, lord." ”
