At midnight, Ba Xin finally finished his urgent work and prepared to go back to rest. (See the latest chapter┲ ̅請丄_☆~ωǒ看書閣WWw.КAΝsΗUge.°COм)
But as soon as he reached the door, he saw a eunuch standing by the door with a tray in his hand, looking hesitant, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
He stared at the stack of scrolls on the tray and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The eunuch said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the concubine candidate just sent by the Internal Affairs Office, saying that the matter is urgent, and I hope the emperor can settle it as much as possible." ”
Ba Xin frowned, and there was no owner for a while.
How long has it been since yesterday afternoon? These courtiers actually prepared the candidates for the concubines, along with the portraits?
I'm afraid they had already figured out which woman in the family they were going to put into his bed when they decided to support him, right? That's why the portrait was sent in so quickly.
Why don't they use such energy and efficiency for national affairs?
He cursed in his heart, but sat back at the desk: "Bring it." ”
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, trotted over, and placed the tray in front of him.
Ba Xin picked up the portraits and unfolded them one by one.
He only needs to look at what the women in the portrait look like, the key is to see the origin and identity of these women.
Sure enough, it is the family of the major powerful figures and the leaders or backbones of various gangs and forces.
There are no direct daughters in the family, and even adopted daughters and righteous daughters have popped up, just to seize this opportunity to marry him.
These officials and magnates are very proficient, knowing that he needs to win over all forces now, and will definitely make concessions and compromises in the matter of choosing concubines, if they don't take this opportunity to stuff the women of the family into the palace, after His Majesty stabilizes the political situation and the power is firm, they will not give them the initiative in the matter of concubines.
Ba Xin sneered inwardly and signed the portraits of the ladies of the courtiers he needed to woo.
As for the portraits of the ladies of the courtiers whom he did not need to co-opt, or who he felt would not be of much help to him, he simply threw them aside.
In this portrait, there is actually a portrait of Sha Feng, a beautiful widow and a child.
Send a daughter who has been married, died of her husband, and has a bold style to the palace? I can't think of it.
However, he just smiled at this, took a pen and wrote three words on it: Feng Guifei.
Sha Jue has long been the commander of the wolf army, and even if he gives Sha Jue the title of king, Sha Jue will not get more power than now.
If there is anything else Sha Jue needs, it is probably only the identity of "imperial family", which has no real power, but can make the relationship between the two parties closer and more reliable than real power.
Sha is eclectic, and he doesn't think that there is any shame and shamelessness in sending widows and children to the palace, so how can he, as an emperor, be obsessed with his heart and be narrow?
Moreover, Sha Feng is good-looking, talented, insightful and means, deeply appreciated by Sha Jue, she is a typical Fei woman, he named Sha Feng as a concubine, which is the best choice in terms of realization and benefits.
After deciding on more than a dozen concubines in one go, he threw the signed portrait into the tray and handed it to the eunuch: "Send it to the Internal Affairs Office, and let the Internal Affairs Office handle the matter of the concubines entering the palace." The situation is not easy, and it is simple. ”
Then he walked out of the imperial study, and instead of sitting on a chariot, he rode a horse and went to Xiaoyang Palace.
Although he has become a monarch, he is still a soldier in his bones, and a soldier should ride a horse happily, instead of always sitting in a sedan chair like an old man or a soft egg for people to carry.
When he was about to arrive at the palace, a eunuch who was guarding the gate of the palace and shrunk and kept looking at him saw him, and immediately ran over and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is wrong......
Ba Xin didn't remember this eunuch, and his face sank: "Where are you a minion?" ”
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The slave is cold, the ...... of the cold palace"
Ba Xin immediately knew what he wanted to say, and immediately jumped off his horse and stepped aside: "Come here, talk slowly." ”
The eunuch swallowed his saliva, followed, and said in a low voice: "Just now, just now, a few masked people rushed into the cold palace and wanted to kill Hua Niangniang, but fortunately, the guards blocked it, Hua Niangniang took a few of us to escape from the cold palace without kung fu, and then Niangniang hid first, and let the servants come to find His Majesty Xià......"
His Majesty had confessed that Hua Niangniang's affairs were confidential and should never be known to anyone, so they didn't dare to make a noise when they fled, but just desperately drilled into the dark place.
He finally ran to Xiaoyang Palace and wanted to see His Majesty, but His Majesty was not in Xiaoyang Palace, and his status was too low, so he didn't dare to go to the imperial study, so he could only wait here.
Ba's confidence sank and he waved his hand: "Go, take me to meet someone immediately." ”
Hua Niangniang is naturally Feng Jinghua.
He really didn't expect that Feng Jinghua had only been hiding in the palace for two or three days before encountering such a thing.
In this palace, there is already such a powerful eyeliner of the Sha family or others?
It didn't take long for him to see Feng Jinghua nesting there in the depths of the bushes.
Feng Jinghua still spread his hands and said lightly: "I didn't see the true face of the other party, I didn't hear the other party speak, I don't know who they are." ”
He took Feng Jinghua back to the cold palace where she lived before, except for the corpses of a few guards, there was no body of a killer.
The killers also left no clues.
Feng Jinghua's existence was a secret, and he couldn't make a public announcement, let alone hunt down those assassins in the palace.
The palace had just experienced a turmoil, and it was finally possible to stabilize it, and if he was now hunting down assassins for the sake of a woman, it would only cause panic and new dangers again.
He could only secretly let Feng Jinghua change his hiding place, send additional guards, and temporarily survive his busiest period.
Feng Jinghua had no objection to his arrangement.
After he finished dealing with Feng Jinghua's affairs, he returned to Xiaoyang Palace, and it was already very late.
He rarely felt tired, but at this time, he really felt tired.
When he was a general, if there was no war, he didn't have a lot of things to do, but when he was a king, his mind didn't have a moment to relax and rest.
And all you have to think about is some brain-burning power games, which are no easier than using troops and fighting wars.
As soon as he lay down, he wished he was falling asleep.
However, his mind was still subconsciously thinking about a problem.
How to deal with Feng Jinghua's affairs?
He thought that this matter could be delayed for a while, and he would deal with it after he had completely controlled the situation, but tonight's matter told him that it could not be delayed any longer.
First, he is being watched by many people all the time, and the city is not very peaceful, and it is not realistic to hide Feng Jinghua secretly in a safe place.
Second, with the efficiency of those courtiers, the concubines they picked for him might enter the palace in the next two days, and as soon as they entered, they would definitely be pervasive and keep an eye on every woman in the palace, so that Feng Jinghua's situation would be even worse.
What's more, he can't make Feng Jinghua a concubine, the only way he wants to get her is to hide her forever, and quietly go to see her when he wants to see her - but, what is the difference between Feng Jinghua, who is kept as a pet and does nothing, and other women? What's the point of him wanting such a Feng Jinghua?
Speaking of which, Feng Jinghua is a woman who is truly suitable for the queen, with resourcefulness, courage, and mind, but unfortunately she is a native of Shangguo, and she will not be able to appear in public in Fei in this life.
In such a situation, he needed to make the final disposition of Feng Jinghua.
Kill her? Hide her? Or let her go?
Killing her is safest and best for him.
Hiding her, all he got was a mediocre, unattractive Feng Jinghua.
Let her go, how could he be willing?
On this night, Ba Xin deeply felt the helplessness of the emperor.
