This draft was held by the ministers with their lives, and at this moment, Jin Yantang specially mentioned the draft results to them, presumably someone among the show girls must have fallen into his eyes.

Sure enough, after Jin Yantang finished speaking to everyone, he continued to say to everyone: "I like the beautiful girl Lan Ke, and as for the vacant queen position, I have decided to hand it over to Lan Ke." ”

The ministers waited with bated breath, but they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was such a sentence from Jin Yantang.

Suddenly, many people withdrew their gaze from Jin Yantang with some disappointment, Shang Kelin sat in the first position of the lower right head in the main hall, after hearing Jin Yantang say this, there was no expression change on his face, and the whole person sat quietly in the main hall, looking at his nose and nose, it seemed that what Jin Yantang said had nothing to do with him.

Qin Tianjian Da Sima was the first person to stand up and congratulate Jin Yantang, and also expressed his attitude of standing on Jin Yantang's side to show everyone.

But now Chen Shilang, who is the left minister, is silent, only sitting in the first position at the bottom left and observing everyone carefully, and echoes a sentence without pain: "I wish Your Majesty to find the woman you like, and the minister has to replace the wine with tea and toast Your Majesty with a glass!"

It's just that as soon as his words fell, a voice of opposition sounded at this time: "Wait, Your Majesty, is it a little too hasty for you to decide the position of queen like this?" Not to mention the life experience of the show girl Lan Ke, just in terms of talent and appearance, the queen lady still needs to be carefully examined by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you just decide, it is difficult to convince the ministers of this result! ”

For a while, everyone looked at this person, and saw that the person who spoke was wearing an azure official uniform, with a square face, a long beard, and a cloudy eyes that looked bright, showing that he was not old, but looked a little shrewd.

The six Shangshu also sent women into the palace, but their women were all sent home by the Queen Mother, and the results of the draft have not come down yet, but His Majesty wants to canonize the queen first.

Many people echoed his Su scholar, and said to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, what Su University said is extremely true, the queen needs to be a person with both ability and political integrity, and she still needs to study carefully, this matter is very important, and the queen's position is the position of the mother of a country, why should Your Majesty avoid the important and trivial, and talk about the candidates for the four concubines first?"

The four concubines?

When everyone said this, they didn't notice the coldness that flashed in Jin Yantang's eyes.

When he took Lan'er into the palace and wanted to canonize Shang Kelan as the queen, the previous self-righteous ministers also persuaded him in this way, and pushed Shang Kelan to the forefront, preparing to spread rumors to slander Shang Kelan's reputation.

Do they still think it's going to work for them now?

But before Jin Yantang could speak, these ministers began to take the position of queen, and the chatter continued, but Chen Shilang and Shang Kelin and the Qin Tianjian Grand Sima who had expressed their attitude early on did not participate in it.

Suddenly, someone pulled the topic to Shang Kelin.

"The minister thinks that the matter of canonizing the queen's position should be based on General Shang's opinion, the first queen is the sister of General Shang, and the first queen is virtuous and virtuous, with both ability and political integrity, presumably General Shang's views on the queen's candidate will be able to unify our opinions!"

These people waited for three years before they had a great opportunity for Jin Yantang to canonize the harem, and they finally sent the carefully cultivated woman into the palace, how could they be willing to make a wedding dress for Lan Ke? 258

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Shang Kelin.

Shang Kelin slowly rubbed the teacup, took a sip, held the teacup in his hand without smiling, and said to everyone lightly: "Who does Your Majesty want to marry as a wife, do you still need to ask the minister's opinion?" ”

These words slapped everyone in the face like a slap in the face.

thought that Shang Kelin would use force to oppress Jin Yantang and prevent other women from getting involved in the queen's position, but he didn't expect Shang Kelin to say his inner thoughts so directly, not only did he not oppose Jin Yantang, but also openly said that he supported Jin Yantang.

You must know that Shang Kelin is a Zhengyipin general in the court, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, if he can get his support, no matter how strong the opposition of these ministers is, it is impossible to set off any waves, besides, looking at the meaning of Zuo Prime Minister Chen Shilang, he seems to be on His Majesty's side.

It's just that in an instant, many ministers became embarrassed because of Shang Kelin's words, especially Scholar Su, who was blushing with anger, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty and Shang Kelin.

He could only endure his anger and salute Jin Yantang, and said from an objective point of view: "Your Majesty, since you only chose Miss Lanke among the newcomers this time, there are no other women in your harem, and there is only one dragon heir in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the royal blood is really thin, which is worrying." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if there are no other women in this batch of newcomers that you like, why don't you consider those concubines who were purged from the harem by you before?"

At that draft ceremony, everyone had already seen that Scholar Su had his niece Wen Xiuyan participate in the draft.

And Wen Xiuyan was also Concubine Ning who stayed in the harem for three years, although she was later sent to the cold palace for violating the palace rules, she is also the woman who has stayed in the harem for the longest time since His Majesty ascended the throne, she knows His Majesty better, and if she is sent to the palace, it is also a good way to compete for favor.

Moreover, even in terms of appearance alone, maybe Wen Xiuyan is not the youngest one, but she must not be the ugliest one, on the contrary, the temperament that has been precipitated by the years in her makes her look better than most show girls.

All kinds of thoughts were intertwined in the minds of these ministers, and on the dragon chair, Jin Yantang supported his face with one hand, looking at them with a smile, but there was no smile in his dark and deep eyes.

After waiting for a while, all the ministers seemed to have thought about it and began to recommend their show girls to Jin Yantang, but as soon as they spoke, Jin Yantang had no patience to continue to listen to them say these useless words, and only announced to everyone majestically and domineeringly: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much, my queen is none other than the show girl Lan Ke." ”

As he spoke, his cold and sharp gaze swept around the ministers, and all those who looked at him couldn't help but bow their heads, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Only then did Jin Yantang say to Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu with satisfaction: "This matter will be handed over to Da Sima and Liu Shangshu......"

However, before Jin Yantang's words fell, a palace maid rushed in in a hurry, and whispered something in Jin Yantang's ear, only to see Jin Yantang's face change, and a look of anger appeared on his always calm face!

After a while, Jin Yantang quickly got up, left a sentence of "discuss later", and hurriedly left the cabinet hall.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but be a little confused, and after Jin Yantang left, some ministers gave the palace maid some benefits, and asked the palace maid: "What happened, Your Majesty left the cabinet so eagerly?" ”
