At that time, Huang Yuanzhen had already lightly opened her lips and chanted, and Zhu Youzhen didn't listen carefully, so she was selected, after all, with this courage, it was enough to be his Zhu Youzhen's woman.

Next, four or five more people stood up and raised their hands, and Zhu Youzhen only chose one with excellent rhythm.

Then six or seven more people stood up and raised their hands, and Zhu Youzhen chose another one with a beautiful dance.

"That's enough, set the rules in the future, the emperor and the prince choose concubines except for one wedding, the rest can only be selected once in more than 30 years, and only fifty concubines can be taken each time, and the rest are reserved for the inner court.

Zhu Youzhen said that he asked the celebrant to write it down, and then asked the fifty beauties who were selected as their concubines to follow Chen Yuanyuan to see the queen Zhou and the concubine Yuan, and follow the two to learn the etiquette of the court concubines.

And the next 2,950 beauties were trained by Zhu Youzhen himself.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen also needs two helpers, one is his daughter Zhu Yujiao and his stepdaughter Xia Wanchun's fiancée Xu Zhaohua.

First of all, Zhu Youzhen asked the remaining 2,950 women to stand up again, and then suddenly shouted: "Zhu Yujiao and Xu Zhaohua are in the ranks!" ”

"Yes, Father!"

Today's Zhu Yujiao, that is, Princess Changping, because she did not have the original history of the country's defeat and family defeat, did not have a broken arm, and had a cheerful and lively temperament, she grinned after agreeing, although her appearance was slightly inferior to these selected beauties, but because of the royal princess's style and smart and youthful temperament, Zhu Youzhen felt that her current daughter looked more cute.

Xu Zhaohua has a dignified and quiet personality, and has been trained by Queen Zhou, which is simply a copy of Queen Zhou, only standing obediently and smiling.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward with his hands behind his back: "From now on, you are all my family, but not my women!"

From now on, forget your parents, forget your hometown, forget your clan!

You are not allowed to marry for life, and non-public parties are not allowed to leave the capital, and you are not allowed to go home!

Each person has a holiday on the third day of January, subject to their own monthly affairs, do you know why you are asked to do this, because you will be the defender of the interests of the entire royal court group, the administrator of the royal order, and you will be involved in the royal sky in the future!

Remember, you are officials, and you are the officials of the twenty-four prisons of the Ming Inner Court! It is the highest glory of women! You are not a woman in the Three Principles and Five Constants, and you don't have to obey your husband in everything.

Of course, there are those who can't persevere, or those who want to get married, can apply to leave, but if you want to serve in the twenty-four prisons of the Ming Inner Court, you have to do so! If you find a person who is married during this period, you will be directly dismissed from your post and deposed from the inner court!

From now on, those who are selected for the inner court are called internal officials, and they have the same status as the external sons, and I will arrange examinations in the inner study hall, and the outstanding ones will be selected to study in the inner study hall for three years, responsible for compiling palace historical materials, and then select the best ones to be the master of ceremonies and the imperial horse supervisor. ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he asked: "Now there are people who don't love power and don't want to have a career like men, and they just want to have a husband and children, they can leave or choose to serve as a palace maid in the court, and the inner court will issue travel expenses or sign a palace maid contract for three years and release their own marriage, do you want to leave and be a palace maid?" ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, more than 2,000 beauties didn't know what choice to make, they were selected, they only knew that they were going to be selected as the emperor's women, otherwise they would directly serve as palace ladies in the palace.

But they didn't expect to have to make their own choices, but they didn't understand what the celebrant and the royal horse supervisor were, they only understood that His Majesty wanted them to be officials, but the price of being an official was not to marry for life.

A young woman raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to leave.

There are also beautiful women who think that they are too old to find a husband after going out, so it is better to stay in this prosperous palace city and be a palace maid for the rest of their lives.

In fact, most of the beauties have been arranged since childhood, or women in this era do not have their own sense of independence, so no matter how clearly Zhu Youzhen explains the various interests and allows them to make their own choices, they don't know how to choose, and they don't have their own real will, so they just let it go.

Zhu Youzhen was also surprised to see that there were only about 500 people left, thinking that so many beauties are all celibates? Are they all hungry for imperial power?

"Okay, the next people will line up again, with me as the center, they will be divided into left and right and scattered, Changping, you will lead the left team, Zhaohua, you will lead the right team", Xu Zhaohua and Zhu Yujiao are the daughters of Zhu Youzhen, naturally they don't have to abide by the rules that Zhu Youzhen said, and they are also temporarily involved, and once they get married, they can no longer be in charge.

Soon, more than 2,400 beauties were rearranged.

"Now let's start the first project of internal officer training, all sit down!"

Zhu Youzhen shouted like this, these internal officials all looked at each other a little, they didn't expect the emperor to ask them to sit down, the key is that there are neither chairs nor soft cushions behind them, only smooth floors and undried water traces.

"Why didn't you hear me? All sit down! ”

Zhu Youzhen was angry, shouted, and all sat down in the next period, all of them looked embarrassed, all of them were distressed that their beautiful skirts were soiled, and they secretly hated that the emperor didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

"Now take off your shoes, open the footcloth, and then go here to get clothes, shoes and hats, follow Changping and Zhaohua to guide the room to untie the chest, and at the same time all the hair is like this, coil up the hairpin crown and wear a hat, from now on, you are not allowed to bind your feet, you are not allowed to bind your chest, and you are not allowed to wear your hair!"

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, these internal officials began to stumble according to Zhu Youzhen's intention to open the footsteps, some of them were complacent because their three-inch golden lotus was more brimming and graspable than others, but they would soon know that the smaller the foot, the more painful it would be in the next training.

Soon, 2,400 internal officials all changed into the crown clothes of the internal envoys, that is, they wore white-lined shirts with collars, and wore three-mountain hats.

"Very good, now Xu Zhaohua and Changping, the two of you are responsible for teaching them to distinguish between left and right, and then carry out physical training according to the training tutorial I gave you, in the future, they will replace the palace eunuchs, and some physical work still has to be done, it is not possible without physical fitness, go ahead."

Zhu Youzhen said and beckoned, Zhu Yujiao and Xu Zhaohua began training with these two thousand four hundred female histories, according to the rules, those who can't hold on can choose to leave or choose to be palace maids at any time, so in the end, the rest may not still be more than 2,400.

"Your Majesty, once you become an internal official, once you become an internal court official, can't you really get married, these are all beautiful but you end up not marrying for life, even if the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, what is the use", Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask Zhu Youzhen.

"After the eunuchs are in power, they will still raise the outer room, do you think these people will not raise people after they take power? Although this world is often dominated by men and women, it is not the same with the bonus of power, such as the Taiping princess of the Tang Dynasty, the seven prime ministers are all from her disciples, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty;

Even if these women raised people after coming to power, it would be impossible for these people to enter the cabinet and the Generalissimo's Palace, and once there are such people, I will punish them severely! After all, it is forbidden for the inner court and the outer court to collude with each other! Of course, men who only want to rely on women for food are afraid that they don't have any great ambitions. ”
