Chapter 701: The Queen's Candidate
There was a fierce debate in the court around the question of the queen's choice.
Xiao Yu, Yao Silian, and Qu Tutong, who were loyal to the Sui court, supported Princess Ruyi as the queen.
Lu Deming, Su Jun, Kong Yingda and others in Xijing recommended Xue Cainu, because the talented woman is named in the capital and is unmarried at an older age, but in fact, she has a deep affection for His Majesty, and she can join the palace, as the queen, her name is in line with her identity.
Represented by Gao Xiaoji, eldest grandson An Shi and others, it is recommended that the eighteen-year-old eldest grandson Wurong, although the age is such as Yi and Xue Cainu are a few years younger, but at the age of eighteen, they are already big girls, because of the aristocratic women, most of them are married at thirteen or fourteen.
If the eldest grandson Wurong hadn't been devoted to Luo Cheng, the marriage had never been decided, and she would never have waited until now to stay in the word pavilion and not have a husband's family.
However, whether it is to recommend Xue Cainu or the eldest grandson Wurong, these people are against the princess of the previous dynasty to continue to be the queen of the dynasty, the reason is that the people of the world are increasingly poisoned by the Yang family, and the people are full of grievances.
Because there are almost no such precedents in history, first of all, the coincidence factor is too great to appear. The second is that even if there are kings in history who marry the princess of the previous dynasty, they are often concubines, and they will never let him be the queen, because they are worried that the eldest son will be mixed with the blood of the previous dynasty, one is that it will have an impact on the national fortunes, and the other is that the prince is worried that the prince will be used by others to restore the regime of the previous dynasty.
Gao Xiaoji said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors in ancient times, the son follows the mother, the daughter is like the father, the boy's personality is more inherited from the biological mother, and the daughter's character is inherited from the father, it has long been concluded, if according to this statement, Princess Ruyi really wants to be crowned the queen, and give birth to a son in the future, that is, the eldest son, his character follows his mother, and his mother's character follows his father, so that the future prince, the character can be traced back to Emperor Yang, this is not okay, even if I really dominate the country, if the prince inherits the character of Emperor Yang in the future, So isn't Dahua like the Great Sui, and there will be changes? ”
"Yes, my nephew follows my grandfather, this is well-founded, it is not a random speculation, it has been concluded since ancient times."
"It is related to the rise and fall of the country, and it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist."
At this time, many officials in the DPRK and China were talking about it, and the fate of Emperor Yang of Sui was obvious to all, and the vast majority of people present were deeply affected, but it was not like the future prince who really had the genes of Emperor Yang.
Luo Zhaoyun listened silently, and was also thinking about whether it was appropriate to choose Princess Ruyi as the queen.
First of all, it is undeniable that Princess Ruyi's love for him is deep and fierce, and there is absolutely no falsehood, he almost went on a hunger strike back then, in order to wait for him and marry him, he was repeatedly forced by Yang Guang to still be able to stick to his own opinions, and he was moved by Luo Cheng and not married.
But in the past few years, Luo Zhaoyun has secretly plotted the Great Sui, fueled the flames, and accelerated the demise of the Sui Dynasty, many things are hidden from Ruyi, only Mu He, Xiao Yiyi, and Qingshuang know, and even the eldest grandson Wurong began to slowly join in and be Ning Muhe's deputy.
Only did not let Ruyi know about these organizations, Luo Cheng felt guilty and helpless.
The position of the queen is indeed very important, identity, wisdom, virtuous name, governance of the harem, etc., need an extremely shrewd and kind virtuous woman, and the eldest grandson Wurong is this candidate in history, the famous Empress Wende.
Gao Xiaoji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Ruyi has been married for several years, but she has never been pregnant, there was nothing before, but now when you are fighting for the world, the afternoon of the main palace, this is a big taboo, it will make the courtiers and soldiers have no bottom in their hearts, there is no potential heir, it is not good for the stability of the court, and the minister implores Your Majesty to choose a newcomer to establish a queen, and even conduct a draft in the northwest, expand the harem, and give birth to the prince of the dragon as soon as possible, which is beneficial to the stability of the court's people." ”
"The minister thinks that it is better to take Xue Cainu and the eldest grandson Wurong as candidates, and whoever gives birth to the dragon son first will be the queen!" The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly spoke, with a smile on his face, but invisibly, Ruyi had been drawn out, making his sister selected.
"Huh?" The civil and military officials of the court were stunned, some people thought it was too child's play, and some people thought it was a good way.
However, once this method is implemented, even if you have sex immediately, you will have to see it in at least a year, after all, whether you can conceive is a problem, and it will take a long time to wait for ten months of pregnancy, so the queen candidate cannot be determined at this time.
Luo Zhaoyun was also in a dilemma, he did not firmly establish his wishes, not because he was afraid of offending the thoughts of these courtiers, but because he was in deep consideration.
Ruyi's character, he knows it very well, some persistent, even extreme, the fierceness of love, moths to the fire, touching. However, it is precisely this paranoid character that is really a bit like Yang Guang, who can't be persuaded, and has been in the court for a long time since he was a child, a little sentimental, and he does it simply, lacks trade-offs, and is not suitable to be a queen.
For the management of the harem, the six palaces, the management of the concubines, as well as the Shang Food Bureau, the Court Bureau, the Palace Bureau, the Xi Official Bureau, the Inner Servant Bureau, the Inner Government Bureau, the Medicinal Diet House, etc., the harem seems simple, but in the future, with the increase in the number of concubines and beauties, it is inevitable to compete for favor and infighting, with the character and ability of Ruyi, it is difficult to control.
Ning Muhe's business, Xiao Yiyi's intelligence, and Qingshuang's action group, they have all been in contact with power, and Ruyi doesn't know anything, with the increase in the number of new concubines in the future, can she control and control it?
Xue Cainu pays attention to literature and poetry, and is not interested in court politics, nor is she suitable to be a queen.
The identity of the mother of the country seems to be just the master of the harem, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, Luo Zhaoyun wants to drag it out for a while, wait for all the girls to be brought in, and then decide according to the situation.
"Ahem!" Luo Zhaoyun coughed lightly, moistened his throat, and was about to speak.
The ministers of civil and military affairs suddenly quieted down, and the palace could hear the needles, waiting for His Majesty to open the golden mouth.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "I already know the advice of your Qing family, but when it comes to the position of the queen, I can't make a decision for the time being, and I'm not in a hurry, and when our army conquers Chang'an City, it's not too late to set up." At present, I have sent someone to Liaodong to pick up my family, and in a few days, after the reunion in the northwest, I will reconsider this matter. ”
Still have to wait a while? After everyone heard this, their faces were bitter, but the emperor ordered, and they didn't dare to refute it, after all, the young marshal was called the emperor, and he had already made every promise, and he couldn't be disobedient, so he obediently shut up, and only secretly calculated in his heart.
