Chapter 518: Please Your Majesty Draft Girl
When it comes to the world's stunning, if someone has seen more than Emperor Chongzhen, it is estimated that it is unlikely, after all, so many of the beauties in the world can be selected to serve by Emperor Chongzhen's side, and find a way to win the favor of Emperor Chongzhen.
For example, when Emperor Chongzhen was still the king of Xin, Empress Zhou and Tian Guifei and Yuan Guifei, the process of entering the palace was already quite troublesome.
First of all, eunuchs must be sent to the people to collect 5,000 beauties between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, and these 5,000 beauties must also be non-doctors, non-witches, non-businessmen and 100 workers to be eligible to participate in the draft, and then screen day by day.
On the first day, the beauties stood in order of age, in a group of 100 people, listening to the eunuchs' long and short lines, picking fat and thin, such as slightly taller, slightly shorter, slightly fatter, and slightly thinner were excluded, and 1,000 people were brushed away first;
On the second day, carefully check whether the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, back, etc. are symmetrical, and whether the sound is pleasant to the ear, and then brush away 2,000 people;
On the third day, the body shape of the beautiful woman was measured with a measuring instrument, and each person was asked to walk dozens of steps to observe its abundance and bearing, and brushed away another thousand people.
The remaining 1,000 people, as alternative palace maids, were led to the secret room by the old palace lady, probed their breasts, sniffed their armpits, and then touched whether the skin was smooth and delicate, so there were only 300 people selected - of course, the most important thing was to check whether it was the original virgin, otherwise, this matter would be enough to kill people.
These 300 people lived in the palace for a month, and the court judges were familiar with their temperament and remarks, and evaluated their character for rigidity, softness, foolishness, wisdom and virtuousness, so only 50 people were selected and kept as concubines.
In the end, Concubine Zhao personally summoned fifty people, talked with them, tried to count the arts of poetry and painting with books, and was selected, then the queen mother used a green gauze handkerchief, and took the gold and jade to jump off her arms; If you don't win, you will be repatriated with silver coins, and you will be selected as the best choice.
In other words, the three concubines around Emperor Chongzhen alone are already the best among the five thousand.
Just like the so-called school flowers in the network of later generations, any school has a school flower, and this school flower is too worthless - put these school flowers together to compete?
Emperor Chongzhen's harem concubines were five thousand out of the unknown number of school flowers, and then the best three were selected from the five thousand school flowers.
In this case, Emperor Chongzhen's view of other beauties is basically the same - the real beauties who pick a disaster for the country and the people are all hundreds of thousands of years before such a beauty, where is it so easy to meet.
Like Kong Yunzhen, who can be called the best in the world anywhere, if it is placed in Jiannu, it is definitely worth playing a big drama of nine insects and women, but in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is average.
It's like a person who suddenly gives him a piece of stinky tofu to taste, maybe it will be a delicacy in the world.
Therefore, in Zhang Xiaohua's pen, the old hooligan Liu Bang will be so worried about steamed buns, just like when Emperor Chongzhen first met Li Qizi.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Qizi, who can already be regarded as stunning, cannot be said to be very beautiful in Emperor Chongzhen, at least his skin is not as good as those who are now in the palace anyway.
However, the heroic spirit on Li Qizi's face is not possessed by several concubines in the palace, even Wanyan Yuzhuo, a concubine who grew up in Liaodong since childhood.
After all, one is the daughter of a pampered tribal leader, and the other is the head of a pirate gang that slashes people, and there is no comparison between the two in themselves.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen didn't show any color to give souls to Brother Pig, but waited for Zheng Zhilong and Li Qizi to give salutes before he lightly ordered: "Calm down." ”
For Zheng Zhilong and Li Qizi, the reason why Emperor Chongzhen saw the two of them alone was just to beat them up.
Li Qizi is okay to say, the left and right are just a pirate force, but Zheng Zhilong is different.
To put it mildly, the entire South China Sea Fleet is basically controlled by Zheng Zhilong's henchmen, not so much the South China Sea Fleet as the Zheng Fleet.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's martial arts are too dazzling, coupled with the deterrence of the East China Sea Fleet and the original Ming Naval Division, so Zheng Zhilong can only honestly lie on his stomach and dare not move.
But this doesn't mean that Zheng Zhilong won't have other ideas in his heart, even if he really doesn't, Emperor Chongzhen has to beat it first.
Ci is not in charge of soldiers, good is not an official, and he cannot be an emperor if his heart is not black.
After laughing a few times, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Li Qizi is dedicated to the country and is loyal and commendable, do you have anything to ask for when you enter Beijing this time?" ”
At this time, Li Qizi was like a dozen rabbits in his heart, and the moment he saw Emperor Chongzhen, the whole person became unsure of what to do - he couldn't even remember how to put his hand.
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Li Qizi hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the rootless people who used to wander on the sea have now become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people's daughter's wish is fulfilled, and there is no longer any request." ”
Emperor Chongzhen chuckled lightly twice, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Zhilong: "How is Majapahit now?" ”
Zheng Zhilong suddenly regretted that his head must have been long before he came to the capital, and now if the emperor wants to turn over the accounts, he will definitely die and can't die again.
But if he hadn't come, he would have died a long time ago, and he wouldn't be alive now.
Zheng Zhilong, who was extremely painful, had no choice but to answer honestly: "Your Majesty, the Manchu Boyi Kingdom has few soldiers, and in two or three months, it can be completely pacified, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty!" Congratulations to Daming! ”
Emperor Chongzhen ignored Zheng Zhilong, who was already sweating profusely, but laughed twice before he spoke: "If there is such a thing in the future, you have to go through the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, have you written it down?" ”
Zheng Zhilong only felt an invisible pressure coming, as if the air in the entire Qianqing Palace hall was squeezing towards him.
Zheng Zhilong, whose back was already warm, secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that there really is a true son of heaven in this world? Or is it really the way of heaven that is secretly helping Emperor Chongzhen to suppress himself?
After bowing respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong spoke: "The sinner knows his mistake, and the sinner has written it down." ”
After saying a word, Zheng Zhilong was shocked to find that his voice had become a little hoarse, and he was even more frightened in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen laughed secretly in his heart.
What kind of heavenly way, the true son of heaven, it is all, but as his power grows, he naturally forms a unique aura - the emperor's aura.
This kind of aura can't be seen or touched, but in this Qianqing Palace, combined with the special structure of the Qianqing Palace itself and the psychological pressure of the people themselves, it is normal to scare some people with ghosts in their hearts to death.
Zheng Zhilong has a ghost in his heart.
Although he had made up his mind early on to follow Da Ming to the dark, Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate after all, and if he didn't have a single idea in his heart, it would be abnormal.
The more I think about it, the more scared Zheng Zhilong is, who has not collapsed until now, it can only be said that he is entrusted to his eldest son Zheng Fusong, who is now named Zhu Chenggong, the little guy Fu - his eldest son is now in the palace, and it is estimated that he will be able to mix with the position of the prince's companion in the future, so it is unlikely that he will hang up, right?
In contrast, Li Qizi, who is quite a little fan of Emperor Chongzhen, performed much better.
Li Qizi only thought about being able to meet Emperor Chongzhen face to face, and he had a good look at what Emperor Chongzhen, an emperor who already had some myths among the people, was like, so he was not as nervous as Zheng Zhilong.
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong had already expressed his position, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "I think I am a king and a tyranny, why do I need to look for those trumped-up charges?"
The next time I reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, I would directly crush it with the general momentum. If Zheng Aiqing doesn't understand his intentions, he can go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to ask Cheng Guogong for advice. ”
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong responded honestly, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded the two of them with some things, and then ordered someone to send the two out of the palace.
As for the idea of bringing Li Qizi into the palace, Emperor Chongzhen did think about it in an instant, but then he thought about it.
Li Qizi, who grew up in pirates since she was a child, couldn't stand the restrained atmosphere in the palace, and if she was really allowed to enter the palace, it would hurt her.
What's more, leaving her outside the palace at sea, for Daming, the benefits are far greater than letting her enter the palace, so it is even more impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to directly order her to enter the palace.
Isn't it those dicks who have never seen a woman to cross, and when they see a little bit of beauty, they want to be accepted into the palace, and they have nothing to do?
Emperor Chongzhen still felt that he should be regarded as a good emperor who was relatively clean and self-conscious, and when he turned around, Empress Zhou found a big trouble for herself: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for ten years, and now that Jiannu has been leveled, and the land of Nanyang is about to be calmed down, isn't it time for a big draft girl?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen secretly scolded that the June debt was repaid quickly, but he laughed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Would it be a little later? ”
Empress Zhou simply bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for ten years, but there are only concubines in the palace and concubines such as the Yuan family, the Tian family and the Wanyan family, which are not in line with the etiquette. Since the concubine is in charge of the harem, she will be the master of the harem, and ask His Majesty to draft a draft girl to enrich the harem. ”
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, such an excellent tradition, later generations actually lost everything, it was really his mother!
After reaching out to help Empress Zhou up, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since the queen said so, it is natural for the queen to do it, don't tell me about these things, just let me know in the future." ”
Empress Zhou was satisfied - she was pregnant again, and she was about to give birth in a few months, and the Tian family had just received good news, how could the Yuan family and Wanyan Yuzhuo serve the emperor enough?
Draft, you must have a big draft girl to enter the palace, rain and dew are the king, and having children for Your Majesty is the obligation and responsibility of the harem.
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered something, and said to Empress Zhou: "The matter of the draft should not be fanfare, and the people should not be harassed, just let it be." The matter of "Han Xiucai Taking Advantage of the Chaos to Hire a Wife" must not be repeated! ”
Because Emperor Chongzhen, who was good at reading, suddenly remembered the "Surprise of the First Moment of Shooting" that he had read some time ago, and there was a section of "Han Xiucai Taking Advantage of the Chaos to Hire a Wife", and he wrote a strange incident of Lalang's matching.
A Xiucai named Han Ziwen was regarded as "sour yellow and rotten tofu" because of his poor family, but when he was worried about not being able to marry his wife, a rich man begged to marry his flowery daughter.
It turned out that there were local rumors that after Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, he sent people to Zhejiang to select embroidered women, which made the people panic, and Han Xiucai was robbed by Jin Chaofeng in this chaos.
When he was ashamed to say to himself: "I am a poor talent, how can I bear the love?"
Jin Chaofeng said in a panic: "Now that the matter is urgent, how can the officials say slack?" If it's a little late, I'm afraid to go to it. We are a husband and wife, and we only gave birth to this little girl. If you go far away to Beijing, there is no time to meet, how can you give up? If the official is willing to surrender, he will save people's lives!"
So, Han Xiucai got a wife for nothing.
Although there are a lot of nonsense things in this "Surprise at the First Moment", and the matter of the draft is exaggerated, there must be such a thing as harassing the people.
If you don't take the opportunity to make a profit, you're sorry for such a big event as the draft - isn't the draft of the future generations also a bird.
It's just that now the big guys are unwilling to send their daughters to the palace, and future generations want to become famous all over the world, that's all.
But as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, Empress Zhou slapped Emperor Chongzhen in the face with facts: "Why did Your Majesty say this? So what "Han Xiucai Takes Advantage of the Chaos to Hire a Wife" is just a poor and sour nonsense, and it can't be taken seriously.
Your Majesty knows that if a daughter enters the palace and can serve the heavenly family, the people don't know how happy they are, where is the chaos? Those who write blindly should be killed! ”
Seeing Empress Zhou like this, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to smile and said, "Everything is according to the queen's will, as long as you don't harass the people." ”
Empress Zhou saw that Emperor Chongzhen emphasized several times that it was not allowed to harass the people, so she had to say helplessly: "The concubine has written it down, and she will never harass the people."
It's just that Your Majesty is too much to raise, and the people are worried about it, but women are not allowed to be selected, otherwise if it is really as Your Majesty said, how can the concubines and Tian and Yuan enter the palace? ”
Only then did Emperor Chongzhen understand that what he was thinking about was the thinking of later generations, and what the people now think may not be at all different from what they think.
There are too many benefits of entering the palace as a concubine, and there are even palace maids who have people vying for places, let alone concubines.
As for the fact that you can't go home to save your relatives, it's not a big problem - if you marry on your own, unless you are from a wealthy family, or if you marry closely, it is not easy to save your relatives.
And it is impossible to prevent Queen Zhou from playing the draft, not to mention that Queen Zhou is the master of the Six Palaces, and she has the greatest say in this matter, in fact, even Emperor Chongzhen himself does not resist the draft - having fewer children is the biggest original sin of an emperor!
Emperor Chongzhen had another harem trouble after the paper money, and Zheng Zhilong and Li Qizi, who were out of the palace, were even more stunned after figuring out what Emperor Chongzhen said.
