Chapter 320: Husband and Wife Leave Virtue (II)
The advice of selecting concubines and enriching the harem was unanimously echoed by the ministers, and Yang Jian also prevaricated at first with other excuses, such as not being extravagant and not extravagant, but seeing that the ministers were united, they were also a little carried away, and agreed half-push and half-on-the-spot, and ordered the ministers to start preparing to select the children of the talented and fearful Jia among the nobles and children of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi in the past.

The ministers were talking lively, and only one person didn't say a word from beginning to end, Yang Jian saw it in his eyes, and this person was Gao Ying. Looking at Gao Ying's face, Yang Jian was very unhappy in his heart, but he still had to ask: "Gao Aiqing, what is your opinion on this matter?" ”
Gao Ying said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion, just ......"
Seeing that Gao Ying wanted to speak and stopped, the Yang family said again: "It's just what, it doesn't hurt to speak out." ”
"It's just that the queen's opinion should be asked about this matter before it can be discussed again!" Gao Ying's words hit the nail on the head, Yang Jian was worried that Jia Luo would not agree, and he just didn't want Jia Luo to know so soon, he was going to let the ministers go to Zhang Luo, but he didn't care, as long as Jia Luo didn't take the initiative to ask, he didn't plan to take the initiative to confess to Jia Luo, and he just fooled the past. And Gao Ying just didn't open which pot to mention, if this matter was asked to Jia Luo, how could there be any follow-up?
The ministers also kept silent, just looked at Yang Jian a little flustered, who didn't know that Yang Jian and Jia Luo had always been in love, of course, there were also bad rumors in the market, saying that Yang Jian had never dared to take a concubine because he was afraid of it.
The imperial historian continued to admonish: "The queen is the master of the harem, but now that there is no one in the harem, whose lord has the queen done?" The minister suggested that he could do it step by step, how could Queen Shengming stop it? ”
The ministers also felt that it was very reasonable, so Yang Jian followed what the official said, and went to Zhang Luo, and retired from the court. However, Gao Ying still chased after Yang Jian: "After Your Majesty returns to the palace, please be sure to ask the queen's opinion." ”
"Okay, yes, I know!" Yang Jian was very impatient, and secretly scolded Gao Ying for being a nasty guy in his heart.
After returning to the palace, Yang Jian couldn't open his mouth in the face of Jia Luo, who was smiling and greeting him warmly.
In fact, the discussion of the hundreds of officials in the court had already reached Jia Luo's ears, and Jia Luo just pretended not to know, waiting for Yang Jian to speak in person.
The matter of selecting concubines was in full swing, but Jia Luo waited for a few days, and he didn't see Yang Jian mention half a sentence, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart. remembered that on the wedding night, Yang Jian had promised her a lifetime of waiting, but now it was about to come to naught.
Seeing that the date of the selection was approaching, Gao Ying didn't see any statement from Jia Luo, so he personally entered the palace to meet Jia Luo: "Does the queen know about the selection of concubines by the saint?" ”
"Hongu knows." Although Jia Luo pretended not to be surprised, he actually felt a faint pain in his heart.
"Since the queen knows, why doesn't she stop it?" Gao Ying Ti Jia Luo was sad: "Could it be that even the queen has forgotten your vows on your wedding night?" ”
"Now the Holy One is the king of a country, but he has to endure the rumors in the market, which undermines the dignity of the Holy One." Garo sighed, "As the wife of the Holy One, how can I be so small-hearted? ”
"It's good to be virtuous after changing, has the queen forgotten how Empress Mingjing died? Have you forgotten what Princess Leping hung outside the Zhengyang Gate back then? These bloody pasts are still vivid, and the ministers often wake up in nightmares! Gao Ying said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Although Jia Luo was reprimanding Gao Ying's disrespect on the surface, he had already felt a chill down his spine.
"The minister's admonition at the risk of death is not nonsense. The palace fight has always been sinister, this is not as simple as pure jealousy, behind the palace fight is often the competition for interests between nobles, even if it is as virtuous as the queen, it is inevitable that it will not be framed by the gangsters! Gao Ying said impassionedly.
Jia Luo was silent, yes, why didn't Gao Ying say? If it weren't for Xu Guifei's viciousness, and if it weren't for the unscrupulous means of the Yuwen Protector forces behind her, she wouldn't have died so miserably. If her daughter Yang Lihua hadn't been framed by the Queen of Heaven and Wei Chi Yuan's competition for favor, she would not have almost died. These past seem to be just yesterday, how can the lessons of blood be ignored?
On the day of Lin Xuan's concubine, Yang Jian went to see it in person and saw so many young and beautiful aristocratic children, just in the prime of life, how attractive it was. In a trance, Yang Jian remembered that Jia Luo when he was young, he was much more beautiful than these girls in front of him, and remembered the oath he made to Jia Luo on the wedding night, and unconsciously felt guilty again, hesitated, and wanted to turn around and leave.
It was Yu Wenshu who presided over this selection, he wanted to make another great contribution before going to Nan Chen, and when he saw that Yang Jian had the intention of retreating, he grabbed him and said: "Many of these girls came all the way to see Your Majesty and have no regrets." ”
Yang Jian felt that it was not appropriate to go: "Then let's start." ”
Yu Wenshu happily announced: "The selection of concubines starts now-"
"Who dares to start?" Jia Luo's loud shout covered Yu Wenshu's loud voice, and everyone followed the sound to look over, but they saw that the graceful and luxurious Jia Luo had not diminished in his demeanor back then, and there was a noble temperament that these young girls could not match.
Under the guidance of Gao Ying, Jia Luo came to Yang Jian: "Your Majesty, why don't you tell the palace about such a good thing, it's hard for Your Majesty to keep your mouth shut for so long, it's not the right time for me to come, it's a good thing for Your Majesty?" ”
"Everything, these are all handled by the courtiers, and I only know about it." Yang Jian prevaricated and deliberately reprimanded Yu Wenshu: "Who let you make your own claims? Not withdrawn yet? ”
"Your Majesty, this ......" Yu Wenshu was a little unwilling.
"The Holy Lord has made an order, what are you hesitating about, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect?" Jia Luo glared at Yuwen Shu.
The regret in Yang Jian's heart, it was just a scene, but he was used by Jia Luo. He could only watch Yuwen Shu withdraw from the ceremony, and so many cardamom girls left him like a passing cloud, and Yang Jian swallowed his saliva silently.
"What, the Holy One is unwilling?" Jia Luo asked, "Each of these girls is younger than your daughter, can the Holy One bear it?" ”
"Queen, you don't give me face too, do you?" Yang Jian looked at the whispering courtiers and was a little embarrassed: "How will I face my subordinates in the future?" ”
"People say that the emperor is true to his word, and I am also for His Majesty to fulfill the promise of the year, Your Majesty should have thought of today's situation a long time ago." Jia Luo turned around and left: "If Your Majesty insists on choosing a concubine, the concubines will not dare to stop it, but Your Majesty is treacherous, and you and I have no choice but to fulfill our relationship as husband and wife."
