When the Xiongnu Khan Che Dunbai was worried about the issue of his heirs, the new emperor Ji Qiyun of the Great Zhou Dynasty also began to worry about his marriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a new monarch to succeed to the throne without a wife or concubine. In this regard, Ji Qiyun has created a precedent. The envoys of various countries who originally went to Beijing to congratulate Xinjun on his ascension to the throne suddenly discovered this rare opportunity, and hurriedly began to recommend their royal girls to Ji Qiyun. The Great Zhou Dynasty is prosperous, and if it can form a good marriage with it, the benefits are naturally self-evident. Therefore, the attitude of the envoys was quite eager, and there was almost a bit of madness.

But this kind of thinking is wishful thinking after all, and the courtiers of the palace who think that the heavenly kingdom will not allow a foreign woman to become the queen of the Great Zhou Muyi world. Besides, who doesn't covet this position? Ji Qiyun is young and promising, if his own daughter, niece or something can be taken by him, the whole family will be completely different in the future. After the envoys of various countries were turned away with the same hatred, the important ministers in the palace immediately turned their faces and sat in a mess to promote their daughters to Ji Qiyun on the dragon chair.

Annoying, this is a portrayal of Ji Qiyun's current mood. So far, there is no concubine, it is not that he has any physical or psychological problems, the reason is very simple and simple, just picky. Many of the women of these ministers' families he has heard of, there are a lot of jasper in the small family, and there are many ladies, if you are only a concubine, it is okay, but if you want to be canonized as a queen... To put it mildly, it is not qualified enough, it is far from enough.

To be the queen of his concubine, you must have at least three points.

First, the beauty and figure above everyone. The queen is different from ordinary women, and often has to show her face with him on some major occasions, if she lets her subordinates' wives and concubines compare, it will not only lose his Ji Qiyun's face, but even the face of the Great Zhou royal family has to be put in. Such a risk he could not afford, so he had to avoid it in advance.

Second, be smart. This cleverness does not refer to some intriguing cleverness, but the great wisdom of long-term vision and planning for a rainy day. Under the influence of the old emperor Ji Chong, Ji Qiyun has made up his mind to follow his grandfather's example from the day he knew that he would become the heir to the throne, and only make the eldest son of the empress the crown prince, no matter what happens in the future, he will never change his position. Therefore, the queen must be the biological mother of the next emperor, and half of the children come from the mother, and it is definitely not possible to have a low IQ.

Third, it can help him. The emperor is the most powerful in the world, but also the loneliest. No matter who you are in front of, you must show your strength. From the beginning of the succession to the death, he could not seek any help, so he could only rely on himself. Only the queen, in front of this woman who shares weal and woe with him, can the emperor show hesitation and exhaustion, and only the queen can help him and support him behind him. Whether it is fame, or power, or financial resources, help comes from all sides, not limited to spiritual comfort.

In the past 20 years of life, only two of the women Ji Qiyun has seen meet the above conditions. One is Miss Guan Fang, Fang Yaqing. The other is Lu Xun, the king of Yi. However, the former Kefu, the latter already has a husband, but he can't rely on the emperor's supreme strength, every time he thinks of it, Ji Qiyun sighs, only feels that God is unfair, although he has the heart to emulate his grandfather, but in the end he is not as good as his grandfather, and he can have a grandmother-like woman to accompany him.

Facing the noisy arguments in the hall, Ji Qiyun became more and more impatient, and he waved his hand with a sinking face and said: "This matter will be discussed again, and the court will be withdrawn." ”

Since Ji Qiyun ascended the throne, Liu Fengzi has also obtained the qualification to listen to politics in the previous court, and he is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a bad mood, his expression was quite indignant when he left, he glanced at Zhou Ang, and the two took the lead out of the palace and secretly followed.

Ji Qiyun walked quickly into the Qianyuan Palace, he breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back against the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and gently kneaded it between his eyebrows. Suddenly, seeing Liu Fengzi and Zhou Ang walking in side by side, and after saluting himself, they stood still on both sides, Ji Qiyun put down his hand and asked lightly, "Something?" ”

"Your Majesty... Seems in a bad mood? Zhou Ang stretched his neck and asked tentatively.

"Yes." Ji Qiyun didn't have anything to hide, and when he heard the words, he said: "Heaven is unfair, and even a woman is unwilling to give me, I... How lonely. ”

Feelings are for women, Zhou Ang pursed his lips, and was a little disappreciative in his heart, isn't it simple for the emperor to want a woman? Even he has accepted six wives and concubines now, what kind of big deal is this? He couldn't figure out the point of Ji Qiyun's troubles for a while, so he was afraid that he would say too much wrong, so he simply stepped aside and kept silent.

Liu Fengzi was more shrewd than him, of course he didn't think that the emperor would worry about women, and after quickly sorting out the key points, he stepped forward and asked softly: "Your Majesty is worried about the choice of the empress?" ”

"Not bad." Ji Qiyun said silently: "Before ascending the throne, I didn't feel the urgency, now I have come to the world, rich all over the world, but there is no phoenix queen to accompany me, the favorite woman is not available, and I have to be urged and persecuted by the courtiers, every time I think of this, I can't help it... The world is so big, why is there no one who can accompany me? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be upset about this, this matter... It's not hard to say. ”

"Oh?" Ji Qiyun's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Aiqing often walks around, I don't know if there is a suitable person to recommend to me?" ”

"There is one in the capital." Liu Fengzi pondered for a moment and said: "But Your Majesty can't be summoned, you have to come to the door in person to ask for it, or you may have the opportunity to hold the beauty." The minister promised that this person would be worthy of His Majesty, and he was the only candidate for the queen. ”

"Who?" Do you want me to come to the door in person? Ji Qiyun couldn't help but mention a little curiosity.

"Little Miss Xiang, Xiang Rong."

Xiang family? Ji Qiyun was suddenly stunned.

If it is said that the most powerful, most famous, and highest-status courtier with a foreign surname in the current Great Zhou court is not Wu Xiuming, the Duke of Song, nor Xu Jiye, the Duke of Wei, but Xiang Wenlong, who was a teacher of the two.

This Wenlong is over 70 years old, not only an old minister of the Three Dynasties, but also a legend in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you only say "God of War of the Great Zhou", there are still a few people who should be called this title, but if you say "God of War", there is only Xiang Wenlong.

There have been more than 60 battles in his life, no defeat, and everywhere he went was a triumphant song, he had completely integrated the "Liutao" left by Jiang Zu into the bone marrow, and truly achieved the ultimate. But whenever someone commented on General Da Zhou, no one ever put him in it, he was not a general, but a handsome.

In principle, the commander of the Great Zhou was only established in wartime and was the commander of the first army. Xiang Wenlong's commander is different, he is not limited by the situation, no matter when and where, he is the superior of all generals. Those who have the right to dispatch all the troops in all parts of the Great Zhou, except for the emperor's tiger talisman, only Xiang Wenlong's face is gone.

What a privilege is this? He did not have a king, but he was far more powerful than a king. Of course, he has never used this right once, otherwise the old emperor Ji Zhong would not have allowed him to live until now. On the contrary, Xiang Wenlong was well versed in the way of self-preservation, and at the peak of his life, he chose to retreat bravely, not only resigned from all official titles, but even announced in front of the world that the Xiang family would never enter the court as an official for the next three generations.

He has been immersed in it for so long that Ji Qiyun has even forgotten that there is such a person in the world.

Compared with the identity of the emperor, Ji Qiyun seems to be more like a businessman, and as soon as he was reminded by Liu Fengzi, he immediately pondered where the various interests were. If he marries Xiang Rong, with the prestige of the Xiang family, the Great Zhou military world will be controlled by him immediately, and there will never be the possibility of hindrance. This is undoubtedly a big benefit that makes people happy. Not only that, but Xiang Wenlong's name as the "God of War" is also an unparalleled deterrent to those vassal kings who are unwilling to go to Beijing for a long time.

This is indeed the most urgent help that Ji Qiyun needs at the moment, but I don't know what that Xiang Rong looks like and whether he can meet his other two requirements.

Ji Qiyun pondered for a while, and then made a decision, according to the meaning of Liufengzi, first come to the door to visit, see the situation, and then say, if it is Xiang Rong's appearance, he will not treat himself badly... It doesn't hurt to marry.
