Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The atmosphere today is indeed lively. The appearance of Zhancheng rice made everyone present a little surprised, and Li Shimin was not an emperor who liked to put on airs, which made this happy scene.

Among the people present, except for the juniors including Li Xin, most of the elders came from the bitter days of war. Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the others don't look at their high positions and powers now, but they were miserable people back then, so they naturally know the value of Champa rice.

Fang Xuanling has even begun to think seriously, if this Champa rice is as miraculous as Li Xin said, how can Datang maximize the effect of this brand new crop? This is a question worthy of deep consideration by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was not too busy thinking about this issue. He looked at Li Xin and Chen Youlan, and said with a smile, "First, you can make Chen Youlan the fifth rank."

Hearing this, Li Xin quickly gestured to the dumbfounded Chen Youlan to kneel down and thank him. Only then did Chen Youlan come to her senses, and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

This so-called "five-rank people" is actually a link in the system of Mrs. Gaoming.

Before Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor in the Tang Dynasty, there were no female officials. Official official positions can only be held by men, including honorary positions such as Sanguan. However, sometimes, due to the needs of certain political purposes, the emperor had to reward a man's wife. Thus, the system of Gaoming Madam came into being.

In fact, there is nothing too special about it. It can be roughly understood as the women's version of the scattered official system. They are all official positions with only grades and salaries but no real power. They are used to express a kind of honor and favor. The only privilege is that she can enter the palace to drink tea and chat with the queen on some major festivals, which may be regarded as entering the highest power circle of women.

Just imagine, for a man, apart from being an emperor, being able to drink tea and chat with the emperor is basically enough to show his dignity, so for a woman, being able to get close to the queen is naturally the same.

Chen Youlan herself is only Chen Yin's daughter. Although his father, Chen Yin, was one of the most powerful people in the dynasty, his power could only actually improve Chen Youlan's status. At least from the official point of view, Chen Youlan was undoubtedly white and ordinary. Minnv.

However, this moment is different. Chen Youlan received the imperial body bestowed by Li Shimin, and the proper fifth rank is impressive. You must know that this honor is not something that can be obtained casually - even Mrs. Chen herself has never received any imperial orders.

Chen Youlan was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and she knew very well the weight of the imperial concubine, so she couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and felt a little unreal in her heart-the rice her brother got from somewhere, turned out to be a good breed that can feed hundreds of thousands of people? And because of this good breed, I got the title of Mrs. Gaoming for no reason?

Before she could be happy in the future, Li Shimin's next sentence came out again. You know, what he just said was "Number one, Feng Chen Youlan is a fifth-rank person" and so on. Since there is a "first", there must be a second!

The smile on Li Shimin's face became more meaningful. He looked at Li Dao: "After you get married, you have to work harder."

Before Li Xin could understand what Li Shimin was talking about, Li Shimin had already turned to the other guests present, as if he wanted to say something important.
