During this time, except for the party and the mutual remuneration competition, Huaixi Town and other Heshuofang towns were basically quiet.

The emperor was waiting for the news of Chunfu in the Daming Palace, and wanted to admit Lu Yuanfu as a jinshi, but soon after Liu Congyi suddenly told him that Lu Qi's son was only eleven years old this year, and he was still enlightened in Jizhou.

"......" The emperor was silent, and then when he summoned Li Mi in the Zichen Palace, he mentioned this matter, and Li Mi was shocked, saying Could it be that the minister misheard? Later, after reviewing the list of tribute students in various states and counties, even Huchen's old eyes were dizzy, and he regarded the "Zhuo Yuanfu" in this as "Lu Yuanfu", a capital crime.

The emperor is not easy to blame Li Mi.

However, Li Mi expressed his sincerity in making up for his mistakes - saying that Lu Yuanfu was talented and intelligent, and at the latest it was ten years, and if it was fast, it might only take five or six years to enter the national eunuch, or directly pay tribute to the township. At that time, if the minister can continue to accompany His Majesty as a prime minister, when he fully invokes the general list, His Majesty does not have to worry at all.

"The Marquis of Lao Ye remembers." The emperor was weak and sat down on a rope bed.

In the long cold night that followed, the emperor felt like a bird in captivity, having forgotten how high the sky was, and only Gao Yue's constant arrival in Fengxiang to discuss current affairs could make the emperor feel a trace of warmth.

Therefore, Gao Yue's recital, the emperor personally replied, and the ceremonial nature of other towns was all sent to the academy for approval.

He was waiting for Gao Yue to stabilize the situation in the northwest as soon as possible, and then he couldn't wait to give Gao Yue the power to suppress the party, and he stood behind Gao Yue, and at that time, the prestige of Zichen Hall would skyrocket, and he would no longer have to worry about being constrained by this group of loyal ministers.

But the Emperor had other consolation:

Princess Yiyang, who got married, and Princess Lingxu, who was building the "Wu'an Jun Baiqi Temple" in Duyou outside Xianyang City, and Princess Deyang, who was not married for the time being, and brought his grandson Li Chun, also came to visit him from time to time.

Sometimes, when the emperor held a banquet in the inner court to entertain his children and grandchildren, it was enough to feel the warmth of the family.

When you met Li Chun, the emperor asked how your father was doing in Shaoyang Courtyard, what books he read, and whether he insisted on going to the Forbidden Garden to ride a horse and hunt Yunyun. Li Chun was clear and answered one by one, and the emperor was very happy, hugged his grandson in his lap, and took out snacks and fruits for him to eat.

Yiyang, Lingxu and Deyang, including Huo Zhongtang, Meng Guangcheng, Fifth Shouyi and other senior officials, praised in unison, saying that if the crown prince was here, he would really be in the palace for three days at the same time.

The emperor laughed, and then said to you sentimentally and gratefully, if it weren't for the persuasion of Li Yu, Gao Yue, and others, I would have almost made a big mistake!

At this moment, Yiyang and Lingxu exchanged glances with each other, and they had a bottom in their hearts.

Xuanhui Yuan made the fifth Shouyi Jinyan, since the Empress Zhaode, the harem is short of people to take care of, Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs all day long, negligent in this matter, and other female officials in the palace are not in the eyes of Your Majesty, should you take some chaste and virtuous women from the people, so as not to damage the national body.

"Master, leave this matter to me and my sister!" Yiyang took the initiative to take this matter very heartily.

The emperor waved his hand and said that he would not be tired.

"From my point of view, most of the female officials in this palace are careless and impolite, and their speech is also in a southern and northern tone, so they should be like Xuanhui envoy said, find some chaste and quiet, knowledgeable and courteous, serve His Majesty on the one hand, and be a female gentleman on the other hand, and educate and educate the court." Lingxu also tried his best to pry.

After all, my father is now in the prime of life, and if you want to say that you will abandon Dunlun now, you can't say anything.

In the end, the emperor said that I am still concerned about state affairs, and you can do this kind of thing for you.

Ten days later, Lingxu just returned from Xianyang by car, when entering the Taoist temple of Fuxingfang, Yiyang led a group of servants and maids, sitting on the eaves to come, the two sisters in the temple intimate business council, soon outside the door several Zhaoyi Army into the courtyard of the palace with the name of the thorn and gifts, asking to see the princess Lingxu.

"Just in time." The princess, who was sitting under the peach tree, pursed her lips and smiled.

The festival of the Zhaoyi Army made Li Baozhen, hearing that the emperor wanted to choose a woman who "knows the book and can pay the letter" among the people, and was very happy in his heart, and remembered that when the Zhaoyi Army was still in charge of Beizhou, there was a local Confucian named Song Tingfen, and even gave birth to five daughters, all of whom were smart and clever, Song Tingfen personally taught Confucianism, and now I Li Baozhen inquired, but unfortunately the third daughter Ruolun and the fifth daughter Ruoxun have died early (the old and new Tang books are called the five sisters of the Song family, but according to the Yuan Zhi personally written Song Ruohua in the text of the Junjun, It is clearly said that the third daughter and the fifth daughter of the Song family died early before the call), but the other three daughters were fortunate to become adults, among which the eldest daughter Ruohua and the second daughter Ruozhao, the documents are particularly light, Ruohua is twenty-five years old, Ruozhao is twenty-one years old, and the fourth daughter Ruoxian is fifteen years old: it may be so, Zhaoyijun first put Song Ruohua and Song Ruozhao into the middle palace, and Ruoxian will wait for another three years.

The three sisters of the Song family are all going to enter the palace.

And the Zhaoyi Army Jinyuan heard that it was now the two princesses Lingxu and Yiyang who were in charge of this matter, so they hurriedly came to inquire about their opinions first.

Lingxu nodded, and asked the officials of the Song family in Qingyang, Beizhou, since they have five daughters, why don't they all marry in the township?

The officials said that if the three sisters did not learn the scriptures, then they could marry in the township, but since they had learned Confucianism, they were unwilling to marry the local "Han mortals" again.

Moreover, these three sisters have always been chaste and quiet, do not love elegance, and vowed to serve their parents for the rest of their lives, which touched our festival, so they recommended them to the harem.

Hearing this, Yiyang smiled indifferently and gestured to his sister with his eyes.

Lingxu also understands:

This Song family has no family at all, let alone intermarrying with the Cui, Li, Zheng, and Lu families, and there is no such possibility as a second-class family, so letting the three daughters learn not to marry, to some extent, they also want to raise their value.

However, the Zhaoyi Army Festival made Li Baozhen also have good intentions, and the selection of female officials, whether it is a small family, not only knows the rules, but also has no vision, at least it is not so involved.

So Lingxu and Yiyang said to several officials of the Zhaoyi Army that the three sisters of the Song family are very good, and this matter will be transferred by my sisters to the Daming Palace, and the jade must be completed. After speaking, Lingxu asked the maid to take out a few pieces of money from the Taoist temple and give it to these officials, and the other party left with a thousand thanks.

As soon as the official of the Zhaoyi Army left, Cheng Yan, the Lingxu family, ran into the Taoist temple out of breath, bowed to the princess, and then said:

"Xingyuan Yin, Gao Yue, the northwest camp envoy, just called the princess your camp to repair the Baiqi Temple of Xianyang Duyou, and it is absolutely not advisable to recruit the national workers of the Jingshi, and said that he built the Feng'an military city at the mouth of the Weiru River into the big river, and cut down and built ships, in addition to collecting the soldiers and craftsmen of Jingyuan, Fengxiang, Longzhou, and Xingqinzhou, hundreds of skilled national workers are also needed, and the princess should immediately stop the battle of the Baiqi Temple and give priority to the Feng'an city service."

With these words, Lingxuan's chest rose and fell violently, and he stood up from the stone pier under the peach tree with a whisk in his hand, and his face was full of resentment, "This woman's dog is so bold!" ”
