Princess Lichuan asked, "What is the method?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "Speaking of which, the minister is stupid, and the emperor is also a man, which emperor doesn't like to choose more?" Doesn't your father like adding new people to the harem? If you don't like it, how can you agree to the two girls of our Chen family to enter the palace as nobles? However, there have been many events in the world in recent years, and it is indeed not suitable for a large selection among the people. Originally, I wanted to do good deeds, make a name for myself, and help the people, but how could I do such a thing that made the people scold? I want to be selected among the noble families and the officials and dependents. How many beauties can the people have? On the contrary, the girls in the noble family, among the hundreds of officials, are familiar with etiquette, know the rules, are educated, knowledgeable, and most of them are pampered, the ten fingers do not touch the spring water, the skin is fine and the flesh is tender, and the beauty is the majority. ”

Princess Lichuan thought about it and said, "Well, when I say that, I also think I should pay attention to it and choose more beauties to raise." As soon as it comes, it can be sent to the palace. Second, you can send it to the fourth brother's house. Although Wen Feng is my cousin, she is from the Chen family after all, not from my Lichuan Princess's mansion. ”

Chen Guifei smiled and said: "It's good if you have this heart, you have to take your time in this matter, don't be in a hurry, but you must do it." If these princesses want to be favored, they rely on offering beauties, and this has been the case in all dynasties. If you think about it, we just worked hard to get King Jin on the throne, and the struggle in the harem will continue. You are not the sister of King Jin, you were born to a mother. It's like your eldest aunt, although she was born to the same mother as your father, isn't it to get your father's favor and to fix her favor, and she raised a lot of children in the house? ”

Princess Lichuan nodded.

Two days later, Chen Guifei made a decree to let the two nobles of the Chen family enter the palace, and arranged for Wenhua to be favored that night. The next day was Wen Juan's favor. The emperor liked the young and young Ai very much, and the beautiful and colorful sisters rewarded them with the palace, and they all lived in the Chuxiu Palace. This palace is better than the one where Concubine Qian lives, and better than Xie Chonghua, who has a prince. It shows pampering.

At this time, Chen Guifei suggested to the emperor that every adult prince should be given the opportunity to go to the six ministries to practice. It also means to help the emperor share government affairs.

The emperor thought this was a good idea, so he made a decree to let the adult princes, the kings of Zhou and Jin, enter the six exercises.

At this time, Concubine Wande was angry, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this week, the king of Zhou and the king of Jin have entered the six departments, which two departments have they entered?" ”

The emperor said: "Well, Hong'er has already entered the ministry, so they can only choose among the remaining five ministries." Yong'er chose the household, alas. This kid. ”

Concubine Wande immediately understood that the emperor felt that King Zhou had no ambitions, but just loved money. Concubine Wande also laughed with her, and then asked, "What about King Jin?" ”

The emperor said, "Yan'er? He chose the Ministry of Works. ”

Concubine Wande's heart chuckled for a moment, she was really afraid of something. This Chen Yuanheng is in the Ministry of Industry, is promoting the new species, the emperor is very trusting, often tell her that if this new species is promoted, no people in Dachu will starve. This is a good thing that will go down through the ages, and he, the emperor, will also become a Ming monarch because of this. What a credit to that. In this way, isn't it equivalent to giving credit to Liu Yan? It's better not to let the princes enter the six ministries in the first place.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wande said: "Your Majesty, although the concubines don't know the affairs of the previous dynasty, they also know that the current Ministry of Industry." There are not many things, the king of Jin is very talented, and it is a little wronged to send him there, and the most important thing now is to use troops against the barbarians. The province is thrifty, and half of the palace is thrifty. The Shaogong banquet is absolutely extravagant, it is to fight with the barbarians. In this way, the military department is very important, and His Majesty might as well send the king of Jin to the military department? ”

As soon as Concubine Wande said this, the emperor thought about it, too, and did not say anything.

The next day, the emperor made a decree, and the king of Zhou went to the household department as a deputy secretary, and the king of Jin went to the military department as a deputy secretary.

After a will, Chen Guifei laughed in her palace and said, "Concubine Wande, you have no brains, you have been calculated by a ten-year-old girl. ”

Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan were very happy, and said to Wen Hui and Princess Lichuan: "Thank you Guifei Niangniang, thank you Princess Sister." Thank you, Sister Wen Hui. Wen Hui is really like a god. ”

Chen Wenhui grinned.

Chen Yuanheng was greatly relieved.

In that secret cave, the beauty who stopped practicing and was about to rest was looking at the letter, and after reading it, she was furious: "Wan'er is really a pig's brain, he is actually short-sighted, let the third prince go to the ministry, what are you doing there, it's all a courtier, a royal matter, can a courtier be the master?" It's good now, the fourth prince of the family took the initiative to go to the Ministry of Industry, but she didn't let her go, but let her go to the Ministry of War, which is really stupid to death. What does this military department do? is in charge of military power, is she in the middle of the strategy of the four princes? With such a simple voice, she couldn't even understand it, had she grown to a dog in the past few years? ”

The shadow who delivered the letter didn't say a word.

Two days later, the emperor talked with two little Chen nobles in the Chuxiu Palace, Chen Wenhua said: "Your Majesty, since there is Qingxing today, why don't our sisters follow the emperor to my aunt's palace, I will stroke the qin, and my sister will dance to cheer up my aunt and the emperor?" ”

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, so he took the two Chen nobles to Zhongcui Palace.

In Zhongcui Palace, Chen Guifei had already prepared delicious wine and food. The emperor was very satisfied, and while eating and drinking, he listened to Chen Wenhua play the piano and watched Chen Wenjuan dance.

When the song ended, Chen Guifei was very happy to see the emperor, straightened her hair, solemnly came to the banquet and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, originally, today's banquet, Your Majesty is very happy, the concubine should not disturb your Qingxing at this time, but the concubine is trusted by His Majesty, manages the harem, and has a heavy responsibility, and this matter has to be played." Please allow your Majesty. ”

The emperor was very strange and asked, "What do you want to do with your concubine?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "Your Majesty, this is a major event related to our Great Chu Guozuo. ”

At this moment, the emperor sobered up and asked, "What's the matter, Concubine Ai will say it quickly." ”

Chen Guifei said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, it was a good thing to let three adult princes go to the six departments to practice. First, it can train the princes, and second, it can reduce the burden on the emperor. People say that fathers and sons are needed to go into battle. This son shares his father's worries, and it is right. ”

The Emperor nodded.

Chen Guifei continued: "However, the setting of our dynasty is the same as that of the previous dynasty, with a total of six departments, soldiers, criminals, rituals, households, officials, and workers. This time, King Zhou went to the household department, King Qi went to the official department, and King Jin went to the military department. But Your Majesty, there are only six in our Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are only three princes? Originally, there was a prince, but he committed disobedience and committed the crime of rebellion, and he has been deposed as a concubine. There is also a fifth prince, who is still a child. In this way, there are not many heirs of His Majesty. ”

When the emperor heard this, he gradually became solemn.

Chen Guifei said: "Since the emperor trusts the concubines and entrusts the concubines to manage the harem, the concubines can't sit idly by and watch the corpses eat the vegetarian position. The concubines requested, for the sake of the longevity of the Great Chu, for the sake of the world, and for the sake of the clan, please ask the emperor to accept the harem, so as to have more princes born. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Didn't I already accept the big and small Chen nobles?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "Although the two nieces of the concubines are in their youth, the relationship between the emperor and the heirs is important, where can the two harems be?" Looking at this huge harem, the concubines are old, and Concubine Wande is holding her grandson. The rest of the concubines are either old or sick, where can they bring dragon descendants to His Majesty? The concubines asked for selection to enrich the harem. ”

The Emperor said, "Alas, I am a man, how can I oppose the selection? A few years ago, the queen was jealous, and she was perfunctory when she came to the selection, and later, because of the military disaster, the drought, the use of troops against the barbarians, the empty treasury, and the frugal life in the harem, where can you raise so many palace people? Now life is better, although I am still using troops against the barbarians, but with the profits of sea trade, Shanghai City and Xinguang City, my treasury is rich. At this time, the harem is said to be able to afford a large number of palace people. But the people, who have suffered many disasters, have only been peaceful for two days, and they have not yet become rich, so they will go through the selection, can they not resent my Great Chu court? Forget it. I have received the concubine's heart. ”

Chen Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the concubine is sincerely moved. The concubines also felt sorry for the people, so they built hospitals, opened a charity hall, and donated their dowry. But the longevity of Dachu's country is also very important. Therefore, the concubine thought of a way. ”

The emperor was curious: "What is the idea of the concubine?" ”

Chen Guifei said: "Please make an order to be selected, but this time the selection is only in the families of the noble family and the families of civil and military officials." Isn't this possible, and it can enrich the harem, and it won't disturb the people? It also gave the noble family and those civil and military officials a chance to get the grace of the saint. ”

The emperor was overjoyed, hurriedly got down from the throne, helped Chen Guifei up, and said with great affection: "Concubine Ai is really virtuous and virtuous, she can be compared to the virtuous queen of the ancient world, not only is she not jealous, she puts the overall situation first, and she is also resourceful, this is really a good idea." I'll summon the officials of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to handle this matter. It's just that the gatekeeper of this selection still has to come in person. We must choose virtuous and virtuous talents. I don't want this harem to be ruined by those misbehavers. ”

When Chen Guifei heard this, she immediately said: "The emperor Liao praised, the concubine is just a palace concubine, how dare she compare with the virtuous queen of the ancient world?" However, since the emperor trusts the concubines, the concubines must do their best. ”

The clever Chen Guiren immediately stepped forward and said: "The emperor is overjoyed, the concubine is overjoyed, our two sisters have nothing to congratulate, so let's present a song again?" ”
