In the eighth year of Yongshuo of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese book ordered Xu Jingzong to play in the court:

"Long live the Emperor Xu Jingzong, it has been eight years since His Majesty ascended the throne. Now my Datang is prosperous, the outer Yi is obedient and submissive, the sea is clear, the Hanoi Yanning, and the treasury is abundant. This is all the work of His Majesty. But the minister has one thing, like a sharp sword, has been hanging on the minister's heart, if the minister speaks, I am afraid that he will be disrespectful to His Majesty, but if he does not say it, he is afraid that he will be disloyal to His Majesty. There are all kinds of difficulties in the hearts of the ministers! Your Majesty! ”

"Oh! Xu Aiqing has always been loyal to the country! I don't know what makes Aiqing so embarrassed? Aiqing said quickly, everything, I am the master of Aiqing! Xu Jingzong knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! What the minister wants to say is the matter of His Majesty's heir! Your Majesty has now been on the throne for eight years, and there are only a few concubines in the harem! There are only four princes! Whenever the minister thinks about it, he is heartbroken! Your Majesty! Although you are now in the prime of life, the palace concubine of His Majesty's harem ...... "Xu Jingzong's meaning is very clear, Li Jiancheng's harem Niangniang is relatively old, according to court practice, generally harem women who are more than twenty-five years old should not be served. On the one hand, because the ancients believed that when a woman is older, the chance of conception becomes smaller, on the other hand, after a woman is twenty-five years old, she is pregnant, and the risk of childbirth increases, according to the current medical conditions, it is easy to have two lives in one body, so, generally speaking, the age of the harem concubines should not be too old, and after the age of twenty-five, the harem eunuchs will generally reduce the opportunity for the concubines to sleep, but because Li Jiancheng is busy with affairs, after taking the throne, the harem has not been expanded on the grounds that the treasury is empty and the people are poor. The emperor can't sleep without a woman by his side when he sleeps at night, coupled with the alien blood of Ashina Yunge, Li Tang's civil and military officials and royal relatives have always been a little jealous, so many times, Zheng Wanzhen, Yang Yan, and Cao Yuyan take turns to sleep, because of this matter, there are many secret criticisms of the queen Zheng Wanzhen in the court.

"Your Majesty's heirs are related to my royal bloodline, and the court is fundamental! The minister is here today, I implore Your Majesty to recruit the world's colorful girls into the palace to add branches and leaves to my Tang bloodline! Your Majesty! Xu Jingzong said as he knelt on the court and wept. Li Jiancheng looked at Xu Jingzong and said in his heart - this is Xu Jingzong, everything he does and what he says, he is full of pictures and words, and he has a voice. It's impressive. Immediately afterwards, Li Shentong, the king of Dazong Zhenghuai, and Li Ming, the king of Zhengji, also played, hoping that Li Jiancheng would recruit colorful girls from all over the world and spread out for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Especially what Li Shentong said is the most explicit:

"Your Majesty! Since ancient times, a man with more children is more blessed. Thinking about King Wen of Zhou, there are hundreds of sons, and he has created the world of the Zhou room for 800 years. The Emperor had twenty-two sons. Fang has my Datang unparalleled foundation. Your Majesty now has only four heirs, and the minister is a great sectarian of Li Tang, so he is really worried! The minister repeatedly advised His Majesty to accept concubines. But His Majesty has always shirked repeatedly, and now that Lord Xu has spoken out of the minister's thoughts, the minister has also revealed this old face. Please Your Majesty to recruit colorful girls from all over the world to enrich the harem! Li Shentong was on Li Shimin's side, even though Li Jiancheng had great respect for Li Shentong after succeeding to the throne, Li Shentong still looked for every opportunity to curry favor with Li Jiancheng. Because Li Shentong was afraid, Li Jiancheng would settle accounts after the autumn. Li Jiancheng still shirked:

"Hmmm! The matter is on hold for the time being! At this time, the deacon eunuch outside the Xuanzheng Hall shouted:

"Your Majesty! The queen's mother, the concubine mother, the concubine mother, and the Zhaoyi lady asked to see each other outside the palace gate! ”

"Oh! QuickPass! "Empress Zheng Wanzhen, Concubine Yang Yan, Concubine Cao Yuyan, and Zhaoyi Ashina Yunge came to the Xuanzheng Hall in a straight line in order of rank. Li Jiancheng quickly got up from the dragon chair.

"Ahh How did you guys get here? The arrival of Ashina Yunge made Li Jiancheng very surprised. In fact, the queen's mother, the concubine and the concubine De's mother will come because Li Jiancheng secretly arranged it. However, Ashina Yunge will come, which is beyond Li Jiancheng's expectations. Because when Xu Jingzong offered Li Jiancheng's plan to accept the colorful girl, Li Jiancheng still had great concerns in his heart - because the queen Zheng Wanzhen was shy, although the Zheng family was greatly damaged, the power of the Zheng family was not completely disintegrated, and the in-laws of the major families were still there, and Zheng Wanzhen, as the queen, was already tied up by many people, Li Ji, as the son-in-law of the Zheng family, held the military power, making the Zheng family like a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff! Yang Yan, as the princess of the former dynasty, is also very sensitive to her own safety, and she gives people a feeling of pity and pity, most of them are sympathetic to the weak. This shows that there are many former ministers who sympathize with the former Sui Yang family. And Cao Yuyan is also the age when she likes to be jealous. His family power is relatively weak, but it is comparable to today's four major merchants (Heng, Lu, Zhang, and Gong. The Qilu Heng family monopolized the monopoly of white sugar in the Qilu area, as well as the slave trade in Liaodong in Qilu. The Lujia in Hedong monopolized the trade routes in the Western Regions, the Zhangjia in Wuxian County in Jiangnan monopolized the silk tea trade in the south of the Yangtze River to the Western Regions and the north, as well as the production of sugarcane in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Gong family in Changsha was the largest slave warmonger in the Lingnan area. He deliberately pretended to be a slang soldier of Ning Changzhen, and burned, killed and looted in the places bordering Annan, Zhenla and Ning Changzhen. provoked the contradictions between Annan, Zhenla and other countries and Ning Changzhen, and vigorously supported the pro-Han faction like Mrs. Xian, so that the Lingnan area, wars continued, in addition to the cities inhabited by the Han people, the major indigenous tribes in Lingnan and Annan Zhenla These countries attacked and killed each other, and all the prisoners of war became slaves of Gong Qiuning. Through these acts, the four major merchants have amassed a lot of wealth. Of course, as the secret agents of the Qilin Secret Guard, the four major merchants also provided Li Jiancheng with a lot of useful information! Close relationship. In addition, Zheng Wanzhen, Yang Yan, and Cao Yuyan all gave birth to sons. If the harem is not appeased, Li Jiancheng still mutters in his heart. After Xu Jingzong knew Li Jiancheng's concerns, he immediately said to Li Jiancheng in a big way:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter is on the minister's body!" Li Jiancheng knew that Xu Jingzong had always been organized. Nodding. And in the harem, Zheng Wanzhen's father Zheng Yuanxiu came to Zheng Wanzhen:

"Daddy!"

"Weichen see the queen mother!"

"Daddy, hurry up, don't be polite!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

"Chenglu, see your grandfather!" Li Chenglu saluted Zheng Yuan:

"See Grandpa!" After Zheng Yuanxiu saw Li Chenglu, he immediately touched Li Chenglu's head and said:

"Ahh My Chenglu has grown taller again. Grow stronger. Zheng Yuanxiu touched it from his arms, took out a high-quality jade pendant and handed it to Li Chenglu.

"Come on! Grandpa hasn't come to see you for a long time, so this jade pendant is given to you. When Zheng Wanzhen saw the jade pendant, she immediately asked Li Chenglu to thank her:

"Chenglu, thank you grandfather!"

"Thank you Grandpa for your generous gift! Grandpa, you and your mother are here to discuss matters, and Chenglu has gone to review his homework. After Li Chenglu finished speaking, he left immediately. Zheng Yuanxiu and Zheng Wanzhen exchanged pleasantries after Li Chenglu left.

"Wanzhen! Your Majesty, what is he doing to you? ”

"Daddy! Look at what you said, don't you know your son-in-law yet? He was so good to me! When Zheng Wanzhen said this, her face was filled with a happy smile!

"Ahh That's good, that's good! Well! ......" Zheng Wanzhen saw Zheng Yuanxiu like this, and felt that something must have happened to her father?

"Daddy! If you have anything, just say it! Zheng Yuanxiu looked at his daughter and suddenly sighed:

"Wanzhen! Since ancient times, men have originally had three wives and four concubines, and in addition to wives and concubines, there are also maids in the same room in the minister's house. The emperor is even more of three palaces and six courts, seventy-two concubines, but you have also seen that now His Majesty only has you, Yang Yan, Cao Yuyan and Ashina Yunge, according to our Li Tang's concubine rank, one queen and nine concubines; Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan, one each, Zheng Erpin, Jieyu nine, Zheng Sanpin, nine beauties, Zheng Sipin, nine talents, Zheng Wupin, Baolin 27 people, Zheng 6 products, 27 royal maids, Zheng 7 products, 27 women, and 8 products. Now that this palace is empty, this outside is not very nice to talk about you! Everyone compares you to the former Sui Emperor's Literature Queen, but it just means that you are a little better than the Literature Queen, who is monogamous with the former Sui Yang Jian. And kill the palace people who have an affair with Yang Jian in the harem, what about you? is only a little better than her, others say that it is because of scruples about the relationship with you that Li Jiancheng did not accept a new concubine. After Zheng Wanzhen heard her father's words, she felt very aggrieved - in fact, Zheng Wanzhen has been persuading Li Jiancheng to let Li Jiancheng get closer to the palace people in the harem, but Li Jiancheng often prevaricates with busy state affairs and the empty treasury, of course, as a woman, Zheng Wanzhen also minds very much, and does not want Li Jiancheng to have too many women around her. Zheng Wanzhen is really scared, Li Jiancheng has fewer and fewer days to accompany her, of course, Zheng Wanzhen is more mindful that she doesn't like other women to share her husband with her, and now, there are three women who share Li Jiancheng's favor with her, Zheng Wanzhen can't say anything in the open, but she is still a little uncomfortable in secret. Therefore, Li Jiancheng did not mention it, and Zheng Wanzhen did not take the initiative to choose a new concubine for Li Jiancheng. Now, when Zheng Yuanxiu talks about himself outside, although Zheng Wanzhen feels aggrieved in her heart, she is virtuous and virtuous, how can she be the same as Dugu Jialuo, the literary queen of the former Sui Wen Emperor period. The queen of literature, Dugu Jialuo, because Emperor Wen of Sui secretly favored Yu Chijiong's granddaughter, and killed Yu Chijiong's granddaughter with a cane, so that Emperor Wen rode into the mountains on horseback, and issued an exclamation that he was the son of heaven and that it was not as good as the freedom of ordinary people. Since childhood, my father taught him to be inferior to men and women, and to be a queen, and the responsibilities of being a queen are all well understood. Why is it the same as the literature queen Dugu Jialuo?

"Father, child! ......" Zheng Wanzhen cried sadly. Looking at Zheng Wanzhen's sad appearance, Zheng Yuanxiu also knew in his heart that his daughter was definitely not the queen of literature, Dugu Jialuo. However, now that the public opinion outside is unfavorable to his daughter, Zheng Yuanxiu can't help but say it!

"Wanzhen! Father knows the grievances in your heart, and the reason why the emperor didn't pay the lottery is not necessarily you, but as the master of the harem, you can't help but take a little bit of responsibility and responsibility. As a queen, you should set an example. Zheng Wanzhen did not speak:

"Wanzhen! You are the queen, I don't know how many people are red outside, and how many people in the world want to be the emperor's relatives, the nobles want to send their daughters to the emperor, and now the emperor has no intention of accepting new concubines, they dare not say that the emperor, so they naturally regard you as a target. Zheng Yuanxiu said as he looked at the door and saw:

"Wanzhen! This time, taking the opportunity of the draft, if you take the initiative to propose that the emperor take a concubine, you can also win over some family members close to our Zheng family to pave the way for Chenglu in the future, if the emperor still does not accept a concubine, then it is difficult to protect, and the position of the prince after Chenglu ......" Zheng Wanzhen thought for a while:

"Father, the child understands!" Zheng Yuanxiu nodded. Yang Yan and Cao Yuyan also encountered the same scene. Originally, Xu Jingzong excluded Ashina Yunge Zhaoyi, but where would there be secrets in the palace. In Ashina Zhaoyi's dormitory, in the Hanfeng Palace, several eunuchs are reporting to Ashina Yunge Zhaorong:

"Niangniang, according to the news from the queen's bedroom, Concubine De's bedroom, and the concubine's bedroom, the queen's mother, the concubine and Zhaoyi are ready to speak to Your Majesty together, so that Your Majesty will shine in the world, and Concubine Dona!"

"Oh! Is it? Ashina Yunge Zhaoyi glanced at the sleeping baby.

"Inheritance! Mother and mother must live well for you! ”

"Inquire closely about the movements of the queen's mother, the concubine mother, and the concubine De mother, and report it at any time!"

"Yes! Empress! "The palace maids and eunuchs around Ashina Yunge all know that their future is closely linked to the sleeping babies in this palace. When Ashina Yunge knew that Zheng Wanzhen was going to the Xuanzheng Hall with Yang Yan and Cao Yuyan, Ashina Yunge naturally waited halfway:

"The concubines see the queen's mother, sister concubine, and sister concubine!"

"Ahh Sister Zhaoyi, why are you here? ”

"Three sisters, my sister heard that the minister encouraged the emperor to recruit the world's colorful women, the emperor has not been able to wipe his face, we are the emperor's women, and my sister is the master of the harem, so we should relieve your majesty's worries!" Zheng Wanzhen didn't want to tell Ashina Yunge, but now that Ashina Yunge knows, if Zheng Wanzhen still hides it, it will be too ungraceful.

"Sister Zhaoyi, my sister was going to tell you, now that you know, you can come along!"
