There was a beginning, and for a while, all the ministers in the court asked Tang Yunzhao to send troops to the battle.

The court mediated with the ministers, Tang Yunzhao was really tired, and he had been thinking about Yang Chun in his heart, so he rushed to Fengluan Palace non-stop after going to the court.

Passing by the Imperial Garden, he seemed to see a woman standing in the middle of the garden full of flowers.

The woman was slender, dressed in a pink light gauze palace dress, and was strolling in the garden, as if admiring the flowers.

Tang Yunzhao had doubts in his heart.

This woman is dressed extraordinarily, not like a palace maid, and there is a group of waiting servants around her.

There are only two women in the palace, Yang Chun and Moon Shadow, and this woman's figure is not any of them, not to mention that Yang Chun is still in the palace and will never come out to hang out.

So where did this woman come from?

In this scene, it is hard not to think that she is pretending to be romantic to attract herself.

If this is the case, such a woman will never be allowed to exist in the palace.

Tang Yunzhao thought so, and summoned the little father-in-law beside him to whisper: "Go check this person." ”

The little boy was about to leave.

At this moment, I saw an old woman in front of me eagerly walking this way.

This old grandmother Tang Yunzhao knew that she was waiting by the side of the Queen Mother, and it seems that this matter is related to the Queen Mother.

"Come back, you don't have to look it up. ”

Tang Yunzhao was relieved and stopped his little father-in-law.

The old lady walked in front of Tang Yunzhao, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please come over." ”

Tang Yunzhao nodded and signaled that he would go immediately.

Then he ordered his father-in-law to go to Fengluan Palace and told Yang Chun that he might be late.

The Queen Mother's Palace.

Seeing the bright yellow figure appear at the door, the Queen Mother hurriedly welcomed people in with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, seeing that you are usually very busy with political affairs, the mourning family also called you over, I really don't want to go. ”

"Queen Mother, my son-in-law has greeted you. Tang Yunzhao didn't forget the etiquette he should have, and continued to speak after the salute: "The queen mother's words are bad, no matter how busy the ministers are with government affairs, they still have time to talk to you." ”

Both of them were in disguise, with smiles on their faces.

Tang Yunzhao sneered in his heart, what a picture of a mother and son, if he guessed correctly, the queen mother must have summoned herself this time to discuss the matter of establishing a concubine with her.

Sure enough......

The Queen Mother was full of relief, pulled Tang Yunzhao to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "The emperor's filial piety is known to the mourning family. I am urgently recruiting you today, in fact, I have something to discuss with you. ”

The Queen Mother paused and asked, "Did the emperor meet anyone just after passing through the Imperial Garden?"

Tang Yunzhao knew very well that the woman just now must have been arranged by the Queen Mother.

He nodded: "I won't tell you, just now Erchen passed through the imperial garden and saw a strange woman, who seemed to be admiring the flowers, but that woman, Erchen had never seen it in the palace, and was thinking that it was strange and was about to let people check it, so he was invited by you." ”

After speaking, he looked suddenly enlightened: "Queen Mother, you said so, do you know the origin of that woman?"

The Queen Mother is smiling happily at this moment.

"Emperor, what do you think of that woman's appearance......?

The Queen Mother asked the palace people to send a stack of portraits, pointed to one of them and said: "This woman was specially summoned to the palace by the mourning family today, her name is Zhang Yuru, and she is the daughter of the new general Zhang Ting." ”

Looking at Tang Yunzhao's slowly sinking face, the Queen Mother knew that he was very unhappy with this topic, but there was no way, as the Queen Mother of this dynasty, she had to fulfill her responsibilities.

The emperor is young, and there is only one queen in his heart, if it is placed in an ordinary person's house, it must be a beautiful talk.

But this is royal, and the emperor's single-minded feelings are taboo.

Not to mention the issue of heir inheritance, if an emperor puts all his heart on one person, then he will have a weakness and will give the enemy a chance to attack him.

The Queen Mother ignored Tang Yunzhao's face and continued to speak: "Emperor, the mourning family knows about your recent troubles, and also knows the oath you and the queen have made for the rest of their lives. But you are the emperor, and only by taking concubines can you maintain your relationship with your courtiers. ”

She glanced at the portrait and pointed to the woman above: "At a time when there is an urgent need to employ people here, if you accept this Zhang Yuru as a concubine, then his father Zhang Ting will not be co-opted by you, and I don't need to say that the interests are involved, I believe you can understand." ”

Tang Yunzhao hasn't said a word until now.

In fact, he had to admit that in the current situation, what the Queen Mother said was reasonable.

The border is in an emergency, and he has just ascended the throne, and now he has no one to reuse, if he really starts a war, the morale of the dynasty will be greatly lost.

At that time, it may be that even the dynasty will be affected and shaken greatly.

But that Zhang Ting, whose reputation for being brave and good at fighting, Tang Yunzhao had already heard of it, but he was the best candidate to fight.

At this time, if you can win him over, it can indeed become a big help for yourself.

But there was a moon shadow in front of him, and he was already very sorry for Yang Chun, if he accepted a concubine again at this moment, Yang Chun was afraid that he would really hate himself.

Tang Yunzhao was full of worry at the moment, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother knew that he didn't immediately object, so there must be a play.

She said again in a seductive manner: "Emperor, the mourning family knows your affection for the queen, but throughout the ages, there is a country first and then a home, if you can't even keep the country, where is the small family between you and the queen, you should know what is the most important thing at this moment, and I believe the queen will understand." ”

It took a long time to speak.

Tang Yunzhao nodded sullenly, saying that he would consider this matter.

It was only at this moment that the Queen Mother really put her mind at ease.

Originally, the matter of choosing a concubine for the emperor should be handled by the queen, but because Yang Chun was pregnant at this time, she should not be too tired, so the queen mother directly took over the matter.

The Queen Mother was busy with this matter for the next period of time.

The Queen Mother set up a banquet for the selection of concubines, and summoned all the women of appropriate age from the courtiers' families into the palace to participate in the banquet.

The ministers have been urging the emperor to accept concubines, but they have the intention of sending their daughters to the palace, but Tang Yunzhao has not let go, so they will give up.

Hearing the news at this time, they were very excited, and hurriedly gathered all their school-age daughters and asked them all to try their luck in the palace.

This is the choice of the concubine, or the queen mother herself, if you enter the queen mother's blue eyes, into the palace, it will be endless glory and wealth.

The day of the concubine banquet.

A large number of young women were dressed up, eager to dress themselves up as flowers, and stood in the front hall square, looking very dazzled.

Zhang Yuru also came to participate.

After the beginning of the greetings, everyone took their seats.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Yuru's delicate little face, acting in a style and being very sensible, and she was even more satisfied in her heart.

Towards the end of the banquet, the Queen Mother personally made a decree to make Zhang Yuru Concubine Hua, and she entered the palace to serve the emperor in a few days.

And after this night's observation, she also successively settled on some other women.

Thinking that the emperor was not very opposed, the queen mother simply took this opportunity to include all the women she liked into the palace one by one.
