If the birthday banquet is wonderful, then the debate in the court the next day is terrifying and lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the early dynasty of this day, the ministers came earlier than usual, and the discussion was in full swing in groups of three or five, of course, it was obvious that there were several factions, but what they had in common was that they chose a concubine.

"The emperor has arrived." With the announcement of the eunuch, the ministers who had been gathered together hurriedly dispersed and stood in the center of the hall in order according to their ranks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's really early today." The emperor should be happy to see such a scene, and the courtiers are so active, which is a blessing for the country. However, according to the reliable information he received, these courtiers were not happy that they had come to compete with him so actively today.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The courtiers immediately bowed to the emperor.

"Flat." After the emperor sat down, he unhurriedly arranged his clothes, and then made a speech to make the ministers stand up and start today's debate.

"Emperor Xie!" The ministers stood up, you look at me, I look at you, all waiting for the other party to speak first, after all, this is a major matter related to the emperor and the country.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." The emperor has nothing to announce today, and looking at the appearance of the ministers, it seems that he has not yet determined who will take the lead. He tidied up his clothes again, and the eunuch who held the pen immediately said what he meant.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." It was Sang Hongyang who spoke, to be honest, his identity was quite embarrassing, he was originally a Hun but he was a high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, and he was also an assistant minister of the emperor, which shows how much he is valued, and it is precisely for this reason that he must be cautious, but he did not expect that he would be the first to open his mouth.

"What's the matter with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, since you came to power, you have worked hard to govern the country, loved the people, and the country and the people are safe. But so far, the harem is empty, and the East Palace has no owner. ”

"According to Aiqing, is there a candidate who can manage this harem?"

"This?" Sang Hongyang didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't have this candidate, what he wanted to express meant was that it was time for the emperor to choose a concubine, and this matter should not be delayed any longer, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by the emperor.

"It seems that Sang Aiqing has no suitable candidate."

"Your Majesty, there are so many women in the world who have both ability and political integrity, as long as the emperor is willing, he can always find this suitable candidate." Shangguan Jue was not silent either.

"But how big is this world?"

"The emperor's harem is related to the country, and it can't be underestimated." Huo Chengming also put forward his own views.

"Please be cautious." The ministers all knelt down, asking the emperor to seriously consider the matter of choosing a concubine, which has been recommended by harem women since ancient times, as long as the emperor agrees that this suitable candidate will be available soon.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

"Your Majesty!"

"This matter is about the foundation of the country, and I need to think about it again."

"Your Majesty."

"I will discuss with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will preside over the specific matters later."

"The emperor is wise."

"Retreat."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor angrily left the dragon chair and turned to the side hall. Over the years, he has worked hard just to sit on this throne and give the people of Liming a stable life, and he has never thought of getting married, not to mention that according to their meaning, this is another political marriage, and the daughters of these princes and ministers are almost all tricky and formed, and they also have the power of the mother, and they feel that it is not so simple when they hear it.

On the other hand, this matter came so suddenly, and the day before was Huo Chengming's birthday, so it can be seen that there is still an article in it, so he decided to immediately go to the imperial sister to ask for clarification and deal with it.

Liu Fuling went to find the eldest princess after he got off the energetic scene, and when he saw the eldest princess, the fire in his belly immediately came up: "Sister Huang, do you still have the heart to enjoy the flowers?" You should have heard about today's incident, I'm so angry, these courtiers actually talked to me in the court about choosing a concubine and establishing a future."

"Emperor, don't worry, the imperial sister already knows about this. When did you lose your breath like this? ”

"Then Sister Huang, what is the perfect solution? Help, help! ”

"The emperor's matter, it's not that my sister won't help you. It's that you're old enough to get married, and the harem is still empty, which really doesn't make sense. So the imperial sister also wants to tell you about the matter after the selection of the concubine! ”

"Why do you say that, Imperial Sister! Others don't know, don't you know how I've spent the past few years? If you choose a concubine now, or after you. These things are mixed together, you say, how are you going to live this day? ”

"Emperor, the imperial sister is for you, after choosing a concubine, how to choose? How to stand up, you still have to make your own decisions, no one can force you. ”

"But the daughters of this prince and minister are all pampered and arrogant, not to mention, they all come with the interests of the family, maybe they are chess pieces one by one." Liu Fuling thought that the position of the queen must be reserved for someone he really liked, and he couldn't be occupied by those chess pieces who wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

"Emperor, don't think things are so complicated. Anything can be solved slowly, you didn't deal with things so irrationally before, by the way, yesterday at the birthday banquet, I saw that there was a girl named Huo Liuli in the Huo family who was good, simple-minded, and didn't seem to be so loved by Huo Guang. ”

"Huo Liuli? Huo Guang's, daughter? I said why all the ministers today reconsidered the matter of electing a concubine, it turned out to be Huo Guang's old boy, who did it. Liu Fuling knew that Huo Guang must have benefited secretly, otherwise how could those courtiers suddenly talk about this matter, but they were just helping him expand his power, and he was also ready to arrange chess pieces to his side.

"Emperor, you misunderstood Huo Guang, I was also present yesterday, it was his daughter who proposed it after the performance, and those ministers proposed it in order to pursue him, and he didn't react much." Although the eldest princess knew that all this might have Huo Guang's secret meaning, but after all, he now had the power of the army, and he couldn't let the emperor miss a big deal because of this matter.

"It's all towards him, what else do you need to react?" Liu Fuling's anger was even greater, and the unlucky kettle at his feet was kicked far away by him at once, and it also hit the stone, and only a crisp breaking sound came out, which was regarded as a wail.

"That's it! The royal sister can't say anything about you. "The eldest princess saw Liu Fuling's anger coming up, and knew that he felt uncomfortable, he had really not been easy over the years, but what can be done, he is the king, the king of the high, these are what he must bear. But after thinking about it, there is indeed room for maneuver: "But I still have an idea here, I don't know what you think?" ”

"I'm sorry, Sister Huang, I shouldn't be angry with you." Seeing that the eldest princess was still talking to herself calmly, Liu Fuling seemed to realize that she was not calm.

"It's okay, I'm your own sister, how could I not know that you feel uncomfortable."

"Then Sister Huang, what else can you do?"

"Recently, didn't you find a talented painter from the people? Tomorrow I will tell him to go to the houses and paint a portrait of a young lady. You claim to the public that I have full authority to choose a concubine, and just push all the troubles to me. ”

"Sister Huang, how can you do this?" Liu Fuling felt that she was very sorry for the imperial sister by doing this, after all, her life was very comfortable, and there was no need to get involved in these disputes.

"Emperor, listen to me first, there will definitely be something about you here, because you can't escape the matter of choosing a concubine."

"Okay, listen to the imperial sister."

"Of course, as long as you don't make an order, I can treat this selection of concubines as letting the ladies of various provinces accompany me, the eldest princess, to relieve boredom, so you don't have to worry that there will be a lot of chess pieces by your side."

"But Sister Huang, how can you determine who will stay in the end?"

"It depends on which people have ghosts in their hearts. I'll give you a list of those who are secretly pregnant, and you can just sift through the portraits. ”

"According to what the imperial sister said, then when the time comes, I only need to find a woman from here who is not so threatening and put it in the harem, and this matter will be over."

"Yes, what does the Emperor think of my idea?"

"Sister Huang's method is good, but it will put Sister Huang, you yourself into a situation of no trust."

"People in the world often say, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise.'" Although I am the eldest princess, I am only a woman, not to mention that I didn't say that this is a concubine, so I can say that I am lonely, and teach them some palace etiquette, just so that they can come and accompany me when they are free. So you don't have to worry about me, even if the whole world doesn't believe my sister anymore, just believe it! ”

"Sister Huang, no matter when, I believe in you." Liu Fuling said categorically that this is the only sister who is still helping her so much, what reason does she have not to believe her.

"Okay, Dong'er should wake up too, my sister won't talk to you, you go back first!" Seeing that Liu Fuling had calmed down, the eldest princess thought that her youngest son should wake up and prepare to go over.

"Good! The imperial sister will go back first, and I will entrust this matter to you. ”

"Leave it to the imperial sister, the emperor, you can rest assured!"
