Chen Xian's ministers attached great importance to the emperor's canonization harem, because it was related to the state system and the order of the imperial court, and could not be underestimated.

Zhang was at the gate of the palace, and he couldn't help but secretly feel bitter that if he didn't canonize the harem, Chen Xian and the others would not let him go to the back garden to get together with the girls.

"Chen Zaifu, can Rong Zhen succeed in the long run?" Zhang let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Xian's face was pale, "Your Majesty, the canonization of the harem and the prince is related to the national system and the order of the inner court." ”

Chen Xian and the others really couldn't wait. Because since Chang'an, they have repeatedly advised Zhang to canonize the harem concubines, but Zhang has not been able to issue an edict until today, the new dynasty has been established for two months, and the capital has been moved to Luoyang, Zhongjing.

Yang Guozhong, Zhang Xun, Guo Ziwei, Gongsun Liang, Pei Mian and Yan Zhenqing all bowed down together, "Please give an edict to Your Majesty."

Zhang sighed and hesitated, "Okay, I'll give an edict." ”

Zhang turned around and went back to the palace.

Chen Xian and a few people hurriedly followed.

Entering Zhang's imperial study, Chen Xian and the others lined up on both sides, standing silently, waiting for Zhang

of the Manifest Destiny.

Zhang looked around at everyone, paused slightly, and then said loudly, "Chen Zaifu, proposed edict: canonize Cui Ying as the first queen"

Zhang said this, a little hesitant. In his heart, the status of his women is actually equal, and he is unwilling to let there be a rift in the relationship between the women, but he is subject to the etiquette of this era, and he can't help but canonize according to the etiquette law, so that there is a hierarchical gap and an invisible gap between the women.

This is the key to Zhang's slow determination to canonize the harem.

He was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Canonize Su Hudong as Concubine Hui, Wan Chun as Concubine Ning, Li Tengkong as Concubine Shu, Yang Yuqing (Third Sister Yang) as Concubine Li, Yang Yulian as Concubine Hui, and Feng Ming as Concubine Hui

After Zhang finished speaking, Chen Xian's pale brows immediately wrinkled, he stood up and bowed down, "Your Majesty, according to the etiquette system, the inner palace has a queen, four mothers, nine concubines, aunts, and beauties" There is a fixed number of rank regulations, Your Majesty canonized the six concubines at the same time, and it is not in line with the etiquette system "Sichuan asks Your Majesty to make a slight adjustment. ”

The concubines in the emperor's harem are also divided into grades, and the strict hierarchy is not much worse than the civil and military generals system of the imperial court∨.

But Zhang has made up his mind, there is only one queen, so there is no way but Cui Ying. Except for Cui Ying, Zhang decided to make them all concubines, so that they would have equal status, so as not to hurt the harmony between them.

In fact, Zhang was also a little worried≡ from the day Zhang ascended the throne and became the emperor, all the women began to secretly "sit down." "Automatically distinguish between high and low.

Of course, Cui Ying is the head of the harem, Su Hudong is the princess of Hui Hui, she is tall, and Hui Hui sent troops to help Zhang seize the world and made great contributions, so Su Hudong is ranked behind Cui Ying. And Wan Chun is Princess Li Tang and one of the two ladies that Zhang Mingmei is marrying into the mansion, and it is also justifiable that she is ranked behind Su Hudong.

Li Tengkong also has the title of Mrs. County, ranking fourth ☆ The third sister enters the door first, ranking fifth ☆ Yulian ranks sixth, and the flower slave consciously lives at the end of all the women.

Zhang looked at Chen Xian and smiled, "Chen Zaifu, the so-called etiquette system is also set by the emperor∞ that is, the king and I will set a new rule for this harem today." increased to six concubines, the rank is the same, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. So be it. ”

Although Zhang smiled, his voice was unusually firm.

Chen Xian was stunned, glanced at Yang Guozhong and others, and didn't dare to publicly disobey Zhang's intentions, so they all nodded in agreement.

In fact, Zhang is not wrong to say △ As the emperor of the new dynasty, he has the power to set new rules and new etiquette systems, and he may not necessarily follow Li Tang's etiquette system. It's just that in order to avoid unnecessary ruffles, Zhang followed the Li Tang system in many irrelevant things, and did not make systematic updates.

But it's a matter of time. After Zhang pacified the four provinces, he would spare time and energy, and he would definitely redefine the political etiquette, social system, and legal system of the Chinese Dynasty.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to canonize the prince and the princess." Zhang Xun stepped forward again.

In fact, Zhang now has only one son, two twin daughters, both of whom are not yet one year old Zhang Qian is too young, and it is too early to be crowned the prince of the East Palace at this time, so he can only be crowned king for the time being.

Zhang had already had a case for this, and after listening to Zhang Xun's words, he nodded and said loudly, "Proposed edict: canonize Zhang Qian & Prime as the king of Duan." Canonized Zhang Ruoran as the princess of Anguo, Zhang Hanyan as the princess of Dingguo, and there is no food for the time being. ”

Originally, the prince and princess all had food and fiefdoms, but because of Zhang's children

It's too small, Zhang is so canonized, Chen Xian and the others feel that it is not a key. Anyway, the title and title or something, it is very likely to be changed at any time, and there is no need to be serious at this time. Chen Xian and the others were about to receive the order and leave, and immediately issued a formal canonization edict by the imperial court to announce it to the world, but they didn't think about it, Zhang You said lightly, "Proposed edict: canonize Zhang Xiuxiu as the eldest princess of Ning Kingdom, with 2,000 households." Canonized Li Susu as the lord of Zhaoyang, Xiao Shisanlang as the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and 2,000 households

Chen Xian and the others were taken aback.

Chen Xian also knew that Zhang Xiuxiu was the righteous daughter of Zhang's mother, the Empress Dowager Liu, and now she is the young lady of the Cui family, and she has a good relationship with Zhang. Since she is the emperor's sister-in-law and Zhang Xiuxiu is also the queen's sister-in-law, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to canonize an eldest princess in the face of multiple feelings.

But who is this Li Susu, the emperor was canonized as the king of the county at once, and he also ate 2,000 households! And who is Xiao Shisanlang, isn't it too outrageous to be named a marquis for no reason?

"This Chuanchuan, Your Majesty," "Chuan" Chen Xian, Yang Guozhong, Gongsun Liang and others looked at each other, and were about to open their mouths to object, but they saw Zhang Xun and Guo Zi secretly glaring at them, so they held back and did not speak.

Zhang glanced at Chen Xian and the others, but he didn't explain anything, he knew that Guo Zi and Zhang Xun would only explain for him. Besides, as the emperor, if he has to be determined to canonize anyone, Chen Xian and the others can't stop him.

Xiao Shisanlang has no intention of fame, and he is listless even as a general in the army, he is used to being carefree, and he really can't stand the constraints in the army and the flies and dogs in the officialdom. But although Xiao Shisanlang is not famous, his credit is no worse than Nan Jiyun's people, Zhang took this opportunity to canonize him as a marquis, and then canonized his daughter-in-law Li Susu as a county lord, which can be regarded as giving Xiao Shisanlang an explanation.

Zhang knew that Xiao Shisanlang and his wife would accept it, no matter how indifferent Xiao Shisanlang was to fame and fortune, he still had a son. He had to think about his wife and sons.

The canonization of Zhang Xiuxiu, in addition to family considerations, Zhang also has political considerations∨ Xiuxiu represents the royal family and the Cui family to marry, the higher Zhang Xiuxiu's status, the higher the status of her, her husband Cui Huan and the entire Cui family in the scholar family, which has an irreplaceable role for Zhang La's donkey family.

As a result, the Cui family is now the maiden family of the ∏ empress Cui Ying, the empress of the Dynasty, and there is also a governor of Guannei Dao, plus Zhang Xiuxiu, the eldest princess of Ningguo, the Cui family has a faint tendency to become the head of the Shi clan.

Zhang thought about it, and said indifferently, "In addition, canonize Zhang Jiuming as the king of Qinghe County, and eat 3,000 households. Canonized Zhang Jiugao as the king of Pingling County, with 3,000 households. The heirs of the other clans, Chen Zaifu, a few of you Xiangguo are discussing the adjudication, I have nothing to do. ”

Zhang finally agreed to canonize Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, the two uncles and their heirs. In any case, this is his relative of the emperor, and the so-called one-person ascending to heaven is like this.

Chen Xian and the others knelt on the ground and took the order.

After such a fuss, Zhang's idea of going to Houyuan to reunite with the girls faded. In addition, it was getting late, so I simply didn't go anymore, so I rested directly in the Huaxia Palace.

On the second day, there was no pilgrimage.

Chen Xian successively promulgated six canonization edicts for the emperor, one canonized Cui Ying as the queen, and gave him a golden book and jade scroll. The second canonization of Su Hudong and other six daughters as concubines was sent to the back garden. The third canonization of Zhang Xiuxiu as the eldest princess of Ning Guo was sent to Cui's mansion. The fourth canonization of the emperor's eldest son Zhang Qian & prime as the king of Duan, and the princesses Zhang Ruoran and Zhang Hanyan as the princess of Anguo and the princess of Dingguo. The fifth canonization of Xiao Shisanlang as the Marquis of Xiaoyao and Li Susu as the lord of Zhaoyang County were sent to the Xiao Mansion. The sixth canonization of Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao as the kings of the county was sent to the Zhang family of the imperial clan.

It is a matter of course for the new emperor to ascend the throne and canonize the concubines and relatives, so these edicts did not cause any movement in the capital.

But in the Cui family and the Xiao family, it caused a great "repercussion".

Cui Yinggui is the queen, and her mother is only in the world. And soon, Zhang Xiuxiu, the wife of the eldest son Cui Huan, ascended to the sky again and became the eldest princess of the dynasty. For the Cui family, this is a great favor

Cui saw and his wife led a group of relatives and relatives in the house, bowed to the ground with gratitude, and shouted long live in the direction of the palace.

And when she got the news, Zhang Xiuxiu was talking to her sister Li Susu in Xiao Shisanlang's mansion, and heard that she was canonized by the emperor as the eldest princess of Ningguo, and her sister was also canonized as the county lord, and her brother-in-law also got the Marquis of Xiaoyao

The sisters have their own hearts of gratitude, but they also have the joys and sorrows of remembering their lives. They were originally Li Zhen's granddaughters, and after Li Zhen's death, they would have been in prostitution, if it weren't for Zhang

People appeared, where could they be today?

From the singer to today's eldest princess and county lord, the noble ladies who rank among the nobles and high-level nobles in the capital enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, and this contrast can not make the two daughters feel agitated and unable to control themselves.

Xiao Shisanlang also sighed on the side.
