According to the rules of Dajin, the draft is held once every three years, starting in February and lasting three months. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, there are times when there are exceptions, such as when the new emperor ascends the throne and urgently needs to fill the harem. Like the first emperor, he is unrestrained, and he enters newcomers every year, so there is no such thing as a draft.

After Xue Liao ascended the throne, he sent all the warblers and Yanyan of the first emperor to the cemetery to guard the spirits of the first emperor, which made the harem that was originally full of Dengden suddenly empty. At that time, some courtiers advised Xue Liao to order a draft to fill the harem, and Xue Liao dismissed it.

The harem is empty like that, and Xue Liao also accepted a few inconsequential nobles or the daughters of courtiers as concubines while he was in the future.

It's June now, and it's not within the regulatory time of the draft, and he's not a woman who is greedy for women, so why did he suddenly remember the draft?

Mrs. Chang knew what she was thinking when she heard Mrs. An's words, and made up a sentence with the teacup, "It was brought up by the queen mother." ”

Mrs. An was even more surprised, "The queen mother would actually propose a draft?"

Empress Pei was so domineering before, and she hated to tie the saint to Kunning Palace. Now that she has annoyed the saint because of the abortion, it is the time when she urgently needs to save the sacred heart, how can she be willing to invite a group of young and beautiful women who are younger than her into the palace to share favors with her?

It is impossible for this person to change his temperament in a moment and a half, could it be that he took the wrong medicine and lost his mind and went crazy?

Queen Pei did not take the wrong medicine, let alone lose her mind. She had the idea of going to the draft, but Wang Kui picked it up.

I saw Mulan at Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet that day, and Wang Kui was thinking about how to get this excellent favorite concubine into the palace all the time. The first thing he thought of was Cao Qing.

Cao Qing is a regular attendant by the saint's side and one of the saint's most trusted people. If it can be said that Cao Qing is blowing the wind in the ears of the saint, so that the saint has his thoughts on the girl of the Xie family, it will naturally be the best.

But there is a problem, the age of the girl from the Xie family is still too young. Mo said that the saint does not have a penchant for favoring young girls, but if there is, it is not easy to immediately put a twelve-year-old girl into the palace as a concubine because of the face of the Son of Heaven, not to mention that you have to wait patiently for two years.

Accepting a concubine is different from marrying, and you can't make up your mind early. After two years, the girl of the Xie family has already promised to be married.

When he was at a loss, there was an incident in which Prince Guo and his people beat the second son of the Zhao family. He had an idea, and he thought about it, so he went to encourage Queen Pei to draft the draft.

Because the saint severely punished Prince Guo and demoted Concubine Zhu Xian to a concubine, Queen Pei was very happy, and even said a few words "The sky has eyes". When he heard the word "draft" at first glance, most of the pleasure immediately dissipated, and a cup of hot tea and soup smashed into Wang Kui's body, scolding him bloody.

Wang Kui endured humiliation and knelt for a long time before he had the opportunity to confide in his own meaning, "...... This draft is not for the saints, but for several princes.

The three princes have all reached the age of marriage, especially the crown prince and Prince Yu, one has passed the age of the weak crown, and the other is about to have a weak crown, that is, in the official palace and the commoner's home, it is already too late for the man to start a family at this age, let alone in the royal family?

The saint is both the Son of Heaven and the father, and I am afraid that he has long been looking forward to the royal family being able to add people to the import and spread out. It's just that there are so many opportunities that I don't have time to take care of anything else. As a mother-in-law, the queen's mother is justified in managing the marriage of several princes.

Niangniang came forward to solve the marriage of several princes in one fell swoop, which of those ministers in the court dared to disrespect you and praise you for your generosity and kindness? The princes will also be grateful to Niangniang.

Among the princes, the one who worries the saint the most is Prince Guo. If Niangniang can choose a beautiful and dignified princess for Prince Guo, so that Prince Guo will accept his heart, how can the saint not be grateful for your virtue?

It's the eldest princess of Cheng Xuan, and I owe you a lot of favors!"

Empress Pei was not stupid at this time, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity for the saint to change his mind. turned anger into joy at the moment, praised Wang Kui, gave him a seat, and asked carefully.

The next day, he cooked white fungus lotus seed porridge with his own hands and carried it to the imperial study. After offering some courtesy, she mentioned the matter of the draft, and said what Wang Kui said to her to Xue Liao in a different way.

Xue Liao beat his son so much that he couldn't get out of bed, and his anger disappeared, how could he not feel distressed? After listening to Queen Pei's words, he felt that it was reasonable.

Xue Qili is young, where does he know what is affectionate or not affectionate, but he is obsessed with the beauty of the county lord of Xianghe for a while, and he is used to messing around. There are many women with outstanding character among the meritorious families, and they are looking for one for him to be canonized as a princess, why worry about him not being restrained?

Not only Xue Qili, but the two sons in front of him are indeed old. Now that the court situation has basically stabilized, it's time to choose a concubine for them to marry.

Xue Liao moved, but did not agree immediately. His concern was that the timing of the draft was not right. No matter how valid the reason, the exceptional draft is always criticized.

Empress Pei was instructed by Wang Kui and was not in a hurry to promote this matter. After a few words of relief to Xue Liao, he went back to the palace. Wang Kui secretly made the palace people ~ go around the palace pavilion of Concubine Zhu Xian, who was demoted to a noble concubine, and said some gossip about the marriage between the lord of Xianghe and the second son of the Zhao family.

Zhu Guifei gave a ban order, but there was a lot of discussion outside, and there was always a sentence and a half that could blow into Xue Qili's ears. Xue Qili lived up to expectations, and really dropped the medicine bowl and made a big fuss. The fire in his heart was hard to quench, and he had a high fever at night.

How could such a big move be concealed from Xue Liao? Xue Liao went over to visit once, punished a few talkative palace people, and reprimanded Zhu Guifei a few times. Looking at my son, who was lying on the bed with a red face and unconscious, I only felt exhausted.

Thinking of what Queen Pei said, this thought moved a little more. On the second day, Queen Pei was given a lot of things, and she stayed in Kunning Palace for a long time at night.

Queen Pei saw that this method really worked, and she obeyed Wang Kuiyan. is blindly gentle in front of Xue Liao, and he is also tolerant and generous in front of others. Xue Liao only thought that she had lost a child, changed her temperament, and began to grow up, and she became more and more lenient.

When Xue Qili asked Wang Kui to make a ghost behind his back and made a fuss, Queen Pei brought up the draft again. In order to dispel Xue Liao's concerns, he also proposed that there was no need for a general election, and only some daughters in the boudoir should be selected from the homes of meritorious officials above the fifth rank in the capital to choose concubines for several princes.

Although Mrs. Chang has a way in the palace, she doesn't know the many twists and turns here, only that the saint has nodded. When she got the news, she hurriedly went to the house to report the news, in fact, like Wang Kui, she was also fighting Mulan's idea.

The law of the Great Jin Dynasty clearly stipulates that the age of the show girls participating in the election is from thirteen to sixteen years old, and it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Mulan. But the thirteen years old stipulated by the law must be counted from the day of the official draft.

From the decision of the draft to the start of the draft, there is still at least one month to more than half a year of preparation time in between. When the Ministry of Rites registers the candidate roster, all girls who are over the age of 12 and a half will be counted in order to prevent missing the selection.

Mulan is the birthday of the autumn, and according to this unwritten rule, she happens to be among the candidates.

Based on Mrs. Chang's understanding of Mrs. An, Mrs. An will never let Mulan enter the palace. If you want to avoid the draft, there is only one way, and that is to hurry up and settle a family affair before the Holy Decree. Even if there is no formal matchmaking, the two families who have exchanged tokens privately are considered to have a marriage match, and they can be exempted from the election.

As soon as Mrs. Chang saw Mulan for the first time, she deliberately asked to be her daughter-in-law. After a little temptation, he asked Mrs. An to block it back. This time, she decided to take advantage of the draft to try again!
