The cold wind of early winter blows through the square in front of the Longshou Canal of Taiji Palace, and flags flutter around the square, and the guards in armor and helmets stand proudly like pine mountains in the cold wind.

Just after noon, the ministers of the court meeting walked briskly, side by side, slowly walked out of the palace gate, said goodbye to each other, and each rode on a horse or a carriage to return home.

At noon, the outside of the palace gate suddenly became lively.

Ten luxurious red-topped carriages drove from the direction of the official office of the Ministry of Rites on Suzaku Street, and walked slowly all the way, and the officials and pedestrians on the roadside all bowed down to give way.

In front of the carriage was a man riding a high-headed horse, dressed in a purple official robe, with a solemn and gloomy face, unsmiling, and his expression was condensed, and the officials gave way not because of the carriage, but because of this man.

This person's name is Li Daozong, who is the brother of Li Shimin's same sect, and was named the king of Jiangxia, and at the same time served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his status was extremely prominent.

With Li Daozong's identity and official position, it is naturally not a trivial matter to personally lead ten carriages to Taiji Palace.

Suzaku Street said that it was not long, and it was half a moment to the square in front of the Taiji Palace, the empty square was surrounded by guards, after the carriage stopped, fifty palace beauties came down from the car, each of them wore a uniform purple high-waisted palace skirt, and the head plate was a three-ring palace bun, and after getting off the carriage, the warblers and Yanyan gathered together, looking at the back of Li Daozong in front of them from a distance, honestly lowering their heads, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Fifty beauties consciously lined up in a neat queue and stood quietly in the square waiting.

This is most of the hour, the palace door has been tightly closed, there has been no movement for a long time, the beauties stand in the cold wind and shiver, but they can only grit their teeth and stand.

Li Daozong also stood in the square and waited, staring at the palace gate without saying a word.

The fifty beauties are the women of good families selected by the Ministry of Rites from the official eunuchs or commoners of various state capitals this year, yes, theoretically they are all in Li Shimin's bowl. Don't think about stretching out your chopsticks.

The Tang Dynasty's selection of good women to enter the palace is not called the draft, the draft is the saying of the Braided Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty calls it "selection", it is said to be selection, in fact, it is not only selection, it is mainly through three ways to select beauties. One is the courtesy, the second is the selection, and the third is the dedication.

The so-called "courtesy", as the name suggests, is naturally a very polite way, mainly for the powerful officials and eunuchs, hearing that they are waiting for the word maid, the emperor sent an envoy to hire him, because of his status is quite high. Therefore, after the woman enters the palace, the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion is also high, and at least she will be named a "talented person", if the palace is compared to a hotel, the talented person is probably at the level of a lobby manager.

The selection is simple, generally the daughters of civilian families, after entering the palace, it depends on luck, luck is ordinary, don't want to fly up the branches after entering the palace. It is necessary to start from an ordinary palace maid, if there is no miracle of the emperor pampering her in three or five years. Then, what awaits her is the fate of going out of the palace to marry or die of old age.

As for the "dedication", it is generally the powerful and high-ranking officials from all over the country who take the initiative to search for the most beautiful women in the people, regardless of status, regardless of whether they are noble or low, and look at the face and look at the face...... Say the important thing three times.

…………

…………

The vermilion palace gate finally opened. A eunuch went out of the palace gate, walked quickly towards Li Daozong, walked in front of Li Daozong, and the eunuch saluted respectfully, and then straightened up. Sharpened his voice and raised his voice: "There is a decree, the state capitals will adopt beauty pageants to enter the Liangyi Gate, and enter the Wanchun Hall to be announced-"

Fifty beauties responded, and then were led by the eunuchs into this palace of both splendor and glory.

Li Daozong's mission was completed, and he also entered the palace, but he went to the Ganlu Palace.

Fifty beauties lined up in five columns, followed behind the eunuch without saying a word, entered the Chengtianmen, Jiade Gate, the beautiful eyes of the woman walking in the second row on the left blinked, and the small steps were slightly larger, just stepping on the skirt of the first row of women in front, the center of gravity of the woman in the first row was unstable, and she was stumbled by the skirt foot, and she was so frightened that she lost her face, and suddenly fell to the ground, and her palms were rubbed and bloodshot.

When this change occurred, the ranks of the beauties were suddenly chaotic, with discussions and ridicule, and pretended apologies one after another.

The leading eunuch stopped, turned and looked at the beauties dissatisfied.

"Where is the Forbidden Palace, how can you be so disrespectful of manners? Ladies and gentlemen, since you have entered the palace, the slave advises you to pay attention to your manners, the palace is not as good as the market, you can laugh if you want to, you can make trouble if you want to. ”

The words were a bit heavy, and the beauties knew that they were out of order, so they shut up and hung their heads one after another.

The eunuch looked at the fallen beauty in the first row, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"This nobleman, the slave dares to ask the name and surname?"

The woman who fell down looked at the blood oozing out of her palm, and tears rolled in her eyes with grievance, but in this forbidden palace that pays attention to etiquette, she couldn't reason with others, so she had to wipe away her tears and swallow her anger and said: "Lizhou Wu has seen the internal official ......."

After a pause in his voice, Wu hung his head and added aggrievedly: "My father should be the prince of the country, and the name of the sergeant is ......."

"The daughter of the warrior of the Duke of Yingguo?" The eunuch's brow furrowed again.

This Ying Guogong's background is not small, he is the founder of the country, has the merit of the dragon, successively served as the general's mansion armor to join the army, the right wing of the school guard, the Ministry of Works, the governor of Lizhou, the governor of Jingzhou, etc., deeply respected by the two generations of emperors.

However, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, after the death of the samurai, the family road inevitably gradually declined, and the officialdom was weak, and now the name of the samurai has gradually disappeared in the court.

The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, after all, it was the founding feat, and a smile quickly appeared on the eunuch's face, and the impatience just now was swept away.

"It turned out to be the daughter of Ying Guogong, and the slave maid was offended, and asked the nobleman to continue to follow the slave maid into the palace.

The Wu family has always expressed that he has been very aggrieved, and he has successfully won the sympathy of the eunuchs, so he will no longer pursue the loss of honor, and the beauties will line up in a neat queue and continue to walk towards the palace.

In November of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, a woman who had stirred up the Tang Dynasty for decades walked into the palace, and this year, she was fourteen years old.

The story of the high-end and glamorous royal version of the wolf into the house began to be staged.

*************************************************************

The main hall of the East Palace.

Prince Li Chengqian has a guest today.

The guest is an acquaintance, named Gao Chengqian, who has known Li Chengqian since childhood.

Gao Cheng is two years older than the crown prince, in his early twenties, his appearance is a bit mediocre, and his height is also very ordinary.

But the identity of high performance is extraordinary.

His father is naturally surnamed Gao, named Gao Shilian, knighted as the Duke of Shenguo, hereditary Shenzhou Assassin History, official position and title are prominent, and the generation is even more terrifying, Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Empress Wende, and the two brothers and sisters have been raised by Gao Shilian since childhood.

Speaking of Gao Shilian, not only is he high-level, but his achievements to Datang are not small. Wude surrendered to Li Yuan in five years, and has always been valued by the Li family, and Gao Shilian is also very decisive in standing in line, after all, the relationship between his two nephews and Li Shimin is too unusual, Li Shimin is his nephew, and he is a fool who knows which side to stand.

On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin led a group of veterans to kill in Xuanwumen, Gao Shilian was not idle, he did something that made Li Shimin happy, he led the generals to run to the prison of the Criminal Department, released all the death row prisoners who were held at that time, and issued them weapons, and then Gao Shilian led this group of real killers to Fanglin Gate, and fought with the gatekeepers at that time.

It can be seen from this that those who have achieved great deeds have too little balance in discipline.

In terms of seniority, Gao Cheng was in his early twenties, and after seeing the eldest grandson Wuji, he could only call him brother, and by extension, the crown prince Li Chengqian also had to call Gao Cheng an uncle.

Today, the crown prince Li Chengqian summoned Gao Cheng to the East Palace, and Gao Cheng was also confused.

There was no banquet in the main hall, after the murder of the Feng family, Li Chengqian honestly stayed in the East Palace to read the sage book, read the music approved by his father, and put an end to the singing and dancing of the banquet, which finally made Kong Yingda and several princes and concubines slightly soothe their faces for a few days.

In the hall, Li Chengqian and Gao Chengqian sat down and chatted with each other, until the atmosphere was a little warmer, and Li Chengqian smiled and said the topic.

"Lone remembers that my uncle is not married, right?"

Gao Cheng replied honestly: "There are more than a dozen concubines in the family, and the main wife has not yet been married. ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The concubines have no reputation, what do you want to do with them, since my uncle has never been married, I am alone today to protect a big matchmaker for my uncle, I don't know what my uncle thinks?" ”

"Escort?" Gao Cheng's eyelids jumped, and he neither agreed nor refused, but asked tentatively: "I don't know which lady Your Highness wants to protect?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "My uncle is the eldest son of the Duke of Shenguo, and he will inherit the title in the future, so the matchmaker of the orphan will naturally not insult the lintel of his uncle...... I don't know what the uncle thinks is the lonely ninth sister Princess Dongyang? ”

Gao Cheng was stunned, and asked again in disbelief: "Your Royal Highness is saying that the ninth daughter of the emperor, Princess Dongyang, is ...... I? ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Yes, the ninth sister, Princess Dongyang, is twenty-eight years old, has good looks and a gentle temperament, she is really a good match for her uncle, and her uncle is not satisfied?" ”

Gao Cheng was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

If it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to slap him in the face.

This bear child......

In terms of seniority, he is Li Chengqian's uncle, and naturally he is also the uncle of Princess Dongyang, how can there be a reason in the world for an uncle to marry a niece? Li Chengqian is also the crown prince anyway, the future prince, doesn't the media even care about his seniority?

Your circle is really messy......
