Early the next morning, Li Jiancheng went to the morning court.

Because it was the end of autumn, it was late in the morning.

So when he went to the early court, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets of the entire Chang'an City.

The East Palace is very close to the Imperial Palace, and when Li Jiancheng came to the palace gate, some other civil and military generals had already come.

Many people greeted Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng was also friendly to them in order to maintain the image of the prince.

After waiting outside for a long time, the palace gate opened, and under the high shout of the eunuch, the ministers went up to the main hall one after another.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Li Yuan talked about some other things with his ministers.

When the matter was almost discussed in this way, an official stepped forward.

"Holy Lord, the matter of the establishment of the queen has been proposed for many days, but there has been no progress, the minister thinks that the establishment of the queen is related to the stability of the harem, and it has some normative effect on my Tang women, so it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible."

Li Yuan also wanted to hurry up in his heart, but he was also entangled, there were many concubines in the harem, I liked them, I didn't have enough status, I didn't like them, and I was noble, so I couldn't find the most suitable one.

"Aiqing is reasonable, but among the many concubines, who do you think can be called the queen?"

As soon as the words fell, an official surnamed Lu stood up: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that Lu Guifei can be called the queen, whether it is family background or conduct, Lu Guifei can be said to be impeccable, if Lu Guifei can be the queen, she will definitely be able to save the saint from the troubles of the harem." ”

The people who stood up were the people of the Lu family, and their Lu family would naturally not give up in the face of such a thing after the closure, and they have always been very active.

The Lu family was the first to make a move, Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, he didn't expect these people from the family to be like this, for the matter that the Lu family only sent two juniors yesterday, Li Jiancheng can understand a little bit, but I'm afraid that they are worried that after Concubine Yin Defei's noble status, she will snatch the queen's position with their Lu Guifei, right?

However, Li Jiancheng is not in a hurry about this, because his father has a lot of concubines, who of these concubines does not have a few supporters, and it is inevitable that someone will compete, and he has already thought of it.

Sure enough, after the people of the Lu family stood up, people from other families and even some nobles also stood up one after another.

You support one, I support one, everyone talks back and forth, and the quarrel is a little inseparable.

And Li Jiancheng, who has always wanted to help Concubine Yin Defei compete for the throne, is very calm, and only a few people in the entire court speak for Concubine Yin.

The court was a little chaotic, Li Yuan listened to the people below, and had a headache, isn't it just the aftermath, as for this?

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

Li Yuan waved his hand and retreated, and returned to the imperial study angrily.

However, after returning to the imperial study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matter could not be left like this, if the ministers were allowed to talk like this, he would not be able to elect a queen for a year.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan immediately ordered: "Come on, call Pei Lin to me." ”

Li Yuan still trusts this person who persuaded him to establish himself as the king and finally helped him win the world.

Pei Lin had already told Song Gongqing that he was prepared, so Li Yuan's people stopped him halfway.

It didn't take long for Pei Lin to enter the palace in a hurry.

----------------

The autumn breeze rose again, and even the imperial study was cool.

Li Yuan sat in the imperial study and looked through the folds, but after reading one or two, he suddenly closed the folds again.

There is something in my heart, and I can't stand this twist and turn.

"Holy Lord, Master Pei is here."

A little eunuch hurriedly ran over, and Li Yuan nodded: "Lead him in directly." ”

Pei Lin entered the imperial study, although he knew what Li Yuan had called him for, he still pretended not to know, and hurriedly said: "The Holy Xuanchen entered the palace, I don't know what happened?" ”

Li Yuan got up and sat down at the table next to him, and ordered someone to pour some wine.

"Pei Aiqing, sit down and talk to me."

"Holy Lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate......"

Li Yuan frowned: "It's just the two of us here, what are you polite about." As he spoke, he pushed a glass of wine over and said, "You, everything is good, but you are too self-selecting, which is very annoying." ”

Li Yuan said this, Pei Lin couldn't shirk it anymore, and sat down next to Li Yuan.

After the two drank a few glasses of wine, Li Yuan asked: "Pei Aiqing, now that the queen is going to be established, the officials of the DPRK and China have different opinions, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Shengshang, how can the minister talk so much ......about such things" Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan glared, Pei Lin shrunk his neck in fright, and quickly changed his words: "Shengshang, although the matter after the establishment is related to the construction of the Tang Dynasty, it is actually not very important, it can only be regarded as a harem family matter, like this kind of thing, the Shengshang can decide for himself." ”

Pei Lin was sleek and refused to speak, Li Yuan pointed at him and said: "You, you have too many eyes, if I am a tyrant like Yang Guang, I will directly decide by myself, but I am not, the matter after the establishment has to be agreed by most of the people in the court, and it must help me Datang." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan said again: "There is no one else here, you can tell me what you think." ”

Pei Lin hesitated again and again, and finally spoke: "Shengshang, the candidate for this queen must be virtuous, so that the harem can be governed in an orderly manner, and then there is, the background must be noble, but not too noble, like a family background, it is not very good, the family background, it is easy to cause the trouble of relatives, the background is too low, and it is impossible to serve the people in the harem, so it is the best in the middle." ”

Pei Lin didn't say who was suitable, anyway, he just told Li Yuan, and after he said this, Li Yuan began to contemplate carefully, excluding those people from the family, and then excluding those who were from particularly bad backgrounds, there were not many concubines left.

"Pei Aiqing, what do you think of Concubine Yin De?"

"This ...... I heard that Concubine Yin De confessed to the Cui family, and he is also a member of the family, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right? ”

Li Yuan laughed: "What does it matter whether you recognize your relatives or not, it's strange that Cui Jiaken admits her." ”

There are many things that can't be hidden from Li Yuan, Concubine Yin De suddenly recognized her relatives in a dignified manner, and it is impossible to say that she has no idea about the posterior.

But Li Yuan didn't say anything about this, because in his heart, he also thought about letting Concubine Yin De be the queen, and Concubine Yin Defei did this, in fact, to help him sweep away a lot of resistance in front of him, so he acquiesced.

After Concubine Yin Defei recognized her relatives, although she was a member of the Cui family, her identity was a little embarrassing, and it would not cause the Cui family to be in power and her relatives to run rampant, and Concubine Yin Defei's previous background was not good, but now she has climbed to this, and her background is a little higher, but it is not particularly high.

It is exactly in line with what Pei Lin said.

"If the Holy One says so, then the minister has no objection."
