The selection of concubines is to stay in the palace at the fifth level. Arrange the old palace lady in the palace to lead these thousand beauties to the secret room one by one, probe their breasts, smell their armpits, and touch their textures.

The strictness of its physical examination is no less than that of the selection of "astronauts", and through the physical examination, it was determined that 300 of them became the palace maids selected to stay in the palace.

The sixth level is the Jin Concubine. These 300 beauties who stayed in the palace were carefully observed by the emperor's special commissioner for a month. According to their temperament and words, they are judged whether they are gentle and gentle, wise and virtuous.

From food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even sleeping, you must observe the sleeping position, and those who talk in sleep, sleepwalk, grind their teeth, and fart will be brushed off.

According to this, another 250 people were screened out, and the remaining 50 people were automatically promoted to concubines.

The seventh level is the so-called election three, and the queen mother or concubine chooses three out of these fifty people.

The final eighth level is the Emperor, and it is up to the emperor or prince to choose the one he is most satisfied with to become the queen, and the other two become concubines.

As for the remaining 47 people, they will go through it again in the end, and if they are satisfied, they will stay in the palace. If they are not satisfied, after soliciting the wishes of the other party, they can be sent back to their hometowns directly, or they can be distributed to other princes and grandchildren.

Moreover, such a selection of concubines is not a once, according to the convention, every ten years the palace will send a group of palace maids out of the palace, and new people will also be re-recruited, at this time, you can choose again.

Therefore, born in the royal family, especially the direct royal family, you don't have to worry about not having a wife at all, you will only worry about whether your body is good enough!

After entering the stage of puberty, Zhu Zhanji learned in detail about the concubine selection system of this era. It can be said that such a system is very much in line with his expectations, and the only concern is whether he can have a common language with the women of this era.

However, through Xue Zhangyu, the four daughters of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the changes of the Sun family, Zhu Zhanji also relaxed. The women of this era are men as the sky, especially if he is the grandson, all women are obedient and flattering.

Even if they have less knowledge, they can still be cultivated.

Today's women, under the influence of Zhu Zhanji, have all shown a broad vision and insight that does not match this era, because otherwise, they will not be able to enter Zhu Zhanji's heart.

Especially Sun, who is also 16 years old this year, has spent all his energy on catering to Zhu Zhanji's preferences and learning how to be a good queen.

Sun is a native of Zouping, Shandong, and he was quite beautiful when he was a teenager and was famous in Zoucheng. Her father, Sun Zhong, was the chief bookkeeper of Yongcheng County, so he knew Zhu Zhanji's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Peng Chengbo.

Mrs. Peng Chengbo, who was also a native of Yongcheng, was in and out of the court from time to time, saying that Sun Zhong's daughter was very beautiful and virtuous, and introduced her to the royal family.

In the eighth year of Yongle, that is, four years ago, Zhu Di thought that he could consider choosing a concubine for Zhu Zhanji, so he ordered Sun to enter the palace.

Although Sun is only eleven years old, he is dignified and quiet. Zhu Di was more satisfied with her, that is, he gave her the name Sun Xian, and asked the crown princess Zhang to educate her on palace etiquette.

In other words, Sun Xian has been cultivated as a future queen since four years ago.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhanji and Sun Xian can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. But for the dignified and beautiful Sun Xian, Zhu Zhanji was not as favored as in the original history.

There are two main reasons for this, one is that Zhu Di originally wanted Zhu Zhanji to marry Sun Xian as the queen. But later, he wanted Zhu Zhanji to strengthen his relationship with Jinyiwei, so when he chose a concubine, he chose the daughter of Hu Rong of Jinyiwei's hundred households as the queen.

On the other hand, Sun Xian's son Zhu Qizhen was the culprit who led to the Tumubao Incident.

Although there are some knots, Zhu Zhanji knows that Sun Xian is not to blame, and Zhu Qizhen is a loser, but it is also because he died too early. So he also returned to Sun Xian, and usually doted on him like a sister.

Zhu Zhanji is still practicing martial arts, and his young kidneys are not solid, and the Zhang family does not want the two children to be too close.

Now Sun Xian lives in the Benren Hall where Zhu Zhanji once lived, and the two of them will meet every other day to cultivate their feelings.

However, the current Zhu Zhanji is not the Zhu Zhanji in history. In his previous life, he didn't care about love and love, and he cared more about control and interests for the combination of men and women, let alone now.

Looking at Li Qian, who was smiling in front of him, Zhu Zhanji laughed: "Lone doesn't attach much importance to women, but there are a few aspects, I hope Eunuch Li can pay attention to it." ”

"Your Highness, please speak up." He glanced at a small eunuch next to him, who immediately took out a blank sheet of paper and charcoal to prepare for the record.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Lone likes to have heavenly feet, unless the foot binding is lightly pediced, and those who are too bound are not allowed." ”

It is still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and although foot binding was included in the Ming Dynasty by Zhu Yuanzhang, it is completely different from the Qing Dynasty now. Most of the current foot wraps only gently wrap the feet to prevent the feet from growing too long.

Only a few extreme people will wrap their daughter's feet like a sheep's hoof like the Qing Dynasty, and it is even difficult to walk.

After watching the little eunuch write it down, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Except for the requirement of foot binding, the requirements of loneliness in other aspects are not high. Long legs, thin waist, straight back, and those with good temperament like Lonely. ”

Li Qian asked, "What about skin color?" ”

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but smile and said: "Can a woman with bad skin come to Lone?" ”

Li Qian couldn't help laughing. The selection of five thousand women across the country is all outstanding, and those with bad looks are impossible to be picked at all.

As for the thin waist and long legs, this is Zhu Zhanji's personal preference, in contrast, he has no special preference for plumpness, breasts, fat, and buttocks.

Thinking of the aesthetic concepts of people in this era, he added with some anxiety: "In addition, Lone is tall, and he also prefers tall women. ”

Although the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty were not as beautiful as fat in the Tang Dynasty, they preferred women with petite figures, convex and backward curls, and hypertrophied hips. The main thing is that such a woman is easy to give birth to, and men are more conquest in front of such a woman.

They don't like women who are too tall, like models in later generations, not to mention long legs of one meter eight, that is, more than one meter seven, they are all ugly women in this era.

Zhu Zhanji likes tall women with slender waists and long legs, if he brushes down all the long legs he likes, it will not be to his liking.

After explaining this, Zhu Zhanji asked, "How is the emperor's grandfather?" Have you ever rested today? ”

"When the minister came out, His Majesty and the noble concubine were still resting in the garden, saying that they would not see any outsiders today."

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Then I will go to accompany the emperor's grandfather to drink and admire the moon later, he has frequent old diseases, and I hope the eunuch can bother more." ”

Li Qian bowed. "That's what an old slave should do."

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji actually envied Zhu Di for having such a group of capable and loyal eunuchs.

Whether it is Wang Yan, Zheng He, or Li Qian, the leaders of the seven eunuchs are about ten years younger than Zhu Di, and they were also raised by Zhu Di as a son at the age of ten.

These eunuchs can put pen to paper to calm the world, and they can go to the horse to settle the world, and they are loyal to Zhu Di, which can do more than Zhu Di's own sons.

But this is also a historical factor of the times, Zhu Zhanji, who was born in the palace, just wants to find a group of such eunuchs, and it is also very difficult, because the current eunuchs have experienced too little, and they have not experienced the test.

As for the discrimination against eunuchs, Zhu Zhanji did not have it at all.

Everyone knows who said bad things about eunuchs. Saying that the eunuch has a smell of commotion and lustful thoughts, not to say that it is made out of nothing, it is also a generalization.

At the very least, Zhu Zhanji has not had 10,000 but 5,000 eunuchs since he was a child, and he has not yet smelled any of them. They just cut off their balls, not JJ, how can they urinate and smell?

Moreover, in addition to not having a beard, most of them are not like women with shrill voices, shouting and shouting on the battlefield, but they are all eunuchs. If they talk like sissies, how is it possible to use them into battle?

Naturally, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. But relatively speaking, in this era, most eunuchs were still available and more loyal than the average person.

In the evening, after knowing that Zhu Gaosui had gone out, Zhu Zhanji then rode to the Xingzao with his guards.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Di also enjoyed a family fun with Zhu Gaosui's family, and Zhu Zhanji.

During the banquet, Zhu Di studied the knowledge of several of Zhu Gaosui's children, and also rewarded his concubines and children with some rituals.

Under the white moonlight, Zhu Di's hair and beard also looked a little gray, this generation of emperors is really a little old.

However, he is in good spirits, and hopes that the prescription he contributed to him will allow him to live a few more years.

If he could prohibit it, Zhu Zhanji actually had little interest in being the emperor. Dealing with state affairs all day long, with almost no personal time, wanting to be a good emperor is actually a chore.

However, it is very difficult to get everyone to carry out their will and not be the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji wants to hide behind Zhu Di, plan for a few more years, lay the foundation, and when he comes to power, he will be able to carry out drastic reforms.

He also talked to Zhu Di about Sun Xian's arrangement, in the original history, because of the abolition, Zhu Zhanji was also left with a disgraceful record.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji doesn't want this now.

Sun Xian's record in history is not bad, and it is not bad for her to be the queen directly. As for Queen Hu, she was a little innocent in the original history, but if she hadn't been made the queen at the beginning, just as a concubine, there would have been no turmoil in the future.

As for the power of Jinyiwei, the current Jinyiwei has been controlled by Zhu Zhanji, do you still need to strengthen the connection through a hundred households?

Of course not!

(The 100,000 eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were not eunuchs in the palace, plus the palaces of the feudal princes in various places, the eunuchs' mansions, and the five customs of the Ming Dynasty were also controlled by eunuchs.

There are also people who don't know how to pretend that the palace of 100,000 eunuchs can't fit, the traffic is blocked, and one person only has an average area of seven square meters. Not to mention that these eunuchs are either concentrated in the imperial palace or concentrated in the imperial palace, the area of the Nanjing Imperial Palace is one million square meters, and the imperial palace in the north is a imitation of 720,000 square meters. What's more, the imperial palace is divided into palace city, imperial city, and most of the eunuchs live in the imperial city instead of the palace city. ）
