When Zhu Youxiao was flirting with Ren Rongrong when he was not doing his job, Liu Kejing, the master of ceremonies, was busy selecting Shuyuan in Kaifeng.

Kaifeng is the location of the three divisions of Henan, and at the same time it is the location of the division of Henan, Kaifeng, Xiangfu and Zhouwang, and the three counties of four states.

Five dynasties after the Han Dynasty, the Later Zhou and the Song Dynasty are all set in Kaifeng, to the Jin Yuan Dynasty for Nanjing, Bianjing, the most magnificent time, only the city gate has thirteen, but to 'Yuan to Yuan, all the destruction of the world city God, Kaifeng City is also only left Tufu'.

The current Kaifeng city wall is 21 miles and 190 steps long, three zhang and five feet high, and two zhang and one foot wide; There are five city gates, the east gate is called Lijing, the south is called Nanxun, the west is called Daliang, the north is called Anyuan, and the northeast is called Renhe; There are three moon cities, four corner towers, eighty-one enemy platforms, and eighty-three police shops; The moat outside the city is one zhang deep and five zhang wide.

Today's scale was built in the first year of Hongwu and rebuilt in Jiajing for ten years, but it has long since lost the former glory of the capital of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to Liu Kejing and other eunuchs, there were also Henan Governor Xu Guangqi (left deputy capital imperial envoy), Henan governor Zhang I Xu (right deputy capital imperial history), left cloth political envoy Feng Shengming, right cloth political envoy Jing Fang, according to the inspection envoy Lu Weiping, Du Si Zhangyin Liu Kongzhao (sincerity Bo Liu Bowen 14th grandson, the current lord is his father Liu Xinchen), Kaifeng Prefecture prefect Wang Ying, Xiangfu Zhixian Hu Zhanen and others.

Liu Kejing took Kaifeng as the first stop of the concubine's audition, which was all because of the provincial governance and population gathering. In the thirteenth year of Wanli, the province did not count the clans and minors, and the whole government paid taxes 187453 households and 1440094 mouths, and the auspicious charm was attached to Guo, and the population was as high as 70,000.

"Today, I am instructed to elect Shuyuan as the internal assistant of the Son of Heaven, who is good and legitimate, slender and good, and has a good face and is 13 to 16 years old can participate in the election, and the selected person will go to the prefect's yamen to receive the gift and road guide, and his parents will send him to Beijing before the first month of next year, and now he will start the roll call."

"Chen Zidao, a student of Xiangfu County, Zhai Fengyi, a citizen of the county, Cheng Dengyun, a citizen of Zhengzhou, and the eldest daughter of Zhao Kenian, Zhengzhou County, ......"

While Liu Kejing and his entourage were busy at the gate of the county government, Xu Guangqi, who was in the first seat on the east side of the lobby, was not here. He was ordered to take charge of the military and political power of Henan Province, and first of all, he naturally had to understand the current guards and Tuntian, but the current situation of the guards presented by Liu Kongzhao was worrying.

Taking Kaifeng Mansion as an example, it contains Xuanwu, Chenzhou, Yingchuan and other three guards and Yuzhou Shouyu Qianhu (stationed in the west of Yuzhou, belonging to Chenzhou Wei), Yingshang Shouyu Qianhu (stationed in Yingshang County, belonging to Yingchuan Wei), a total of 10,747 hectares of 45 acres and 9 points, only 9,147 members of the army, but the officials are seriously exceeded, including 63 commanders, 80 members of 1,000 households, 141 members of 100 households, and more than 10 members of the suppression experience.
