In the spring of the tenth year of Kangping, the 16-year-old Emperor Kangping was urged to marry again by the ministers.

The heirs of the first emperor were difficult, and Emperor Kangping was in exile for several years before he was able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, inheriting the unification, so that the Great Zhou avoided the succession struggle and fell into turmoil. Now Emperor Kangping is 16 years old, and he has long reached the age of choosing a concubine and extending his heirs. In order to avoid the tragedy of the first emperor's dynasty, the ministers naturally thought that the sooner Emperor Kangping had children, the better.

This time, Emperor Kang Ping did not excuse himself on the grounds that he was still young or that state affairs were complicated, and readily agreed.

So, as soon as the spring breeze blows, the young girls in the capital are blooming like flowers on the branches, and the scenery is endless.

Princess Huai'an was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and one flower party after another tea party invited the girls of the right age in the capital to a banquet, so that Emperor Kangping could choose a concubine after the establishment - although, she knew that this was just a waste of effort.

As the most trustworthy people in the clan, the Huai'an Wang and his wife naturally learned about Emperor Kangping's true plans for the establishment of the Emperor early on.

Don't look at the current flower party tea party one after another, it is very lively, and every time Emperor Kangping will come decently, causing the hearts of the girls present to float, but these are just the fog deliberately released by Emperor Kangping in order to protect the eldest lady of the Ye family in his heart.

Although Ye Zeming can barely be regarded as an upstart in the court and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the Ye family has a shallow foundation, even if it is tied to the Tan family, compared with those eunuch families in the capital, it is not enough to see at all. Emperor Kangping wants to set up Ye Zhen as the queen, but he still wants to guard only Ye Zhen for the rest of his life, which will definitely cause an uproar.

If Emperor Kang Ping crosses the selection and directly appoints Ye Zhen as the queen, I am afraid that the situation will be even more difficult to clean up at that time. In order to establish Ye Zhen as the queen first, and at the same time protect her from the accusation of "charming king" or "unchasteness", Emperor Kang Ping had to work tirelessly to invite everyone to accompany him to perform one scene after another to choose a concubine.

Ye Zeming and Tan Xin saw that Emperor Kangping treated Ye Hao so considerately, and their hearts were even more peaceful.

After working so busy throughout the spring, when summer came, Emperor Kangping finally made the final decision - to make Ye Zhen the queen.

This decision of Emperor Kangping stunned everyone.

Although Ye Hao also participated in a lot of banquets, she didn't see her have any extraordinary actions and affection with Emperor Kang Ping, and even the two of them didn't say a few words alone, why did Emperor Kang Ping choose her to be the queen?

If someone is dissatisfied, it is inevitable to complain.

When a sober person hears this, he will ask rhetorically, "Have you ever been particularly close to anyone when you saw that the Holy Lord had attended so many banquets?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this!

In addition to girls like the clan and the Han family, Emperor Kangping will ask a few more words to show concern, and for those girls who have the heart to enter the palace, Emperor Kangping really doesn't care much. Even if there are a few ambitious and bold people who deliberately design to get close to Emperor Kangping, they will be resolved by Princess Huai'an and others who arrived in time, or they will be directly stopped by Wang Ping's personal guards three steps away, and they are so embarrassed that they can't find a crack to get into.

Speaking of which, it is probably Ye Hao's identity from Liaodong that makes Emperor Kangping instinctively feel close. After all, if it weren't for the protection and care of those people, Emperor Kangping might not have been able to grow up smoothly, and he was successfully recognized by the first emperor, established as the crown prince, and inherited the unification.

Everyone was disappointed, thinking that they had figured out Emperor Kangping's intentions, but after the relief of "it's not that their own children are not as good as Ye Hao", they were more worried, worried that Emperor Kangping was bent on promoting the old people in Liaodong, but put them behind.

With this thought, it is natural to take action immediately, so as not to be in a passive position in the future. Even if this move can't persuade Emperor Kangping to dispel the idea of establishing Ye Zhen as the queen, at least Emperor Kangping must understand the will of the people and not blindly reuse the old Liaodong in the future.

However, at present, this kind of talk is not easy to say bluntly, so some people use the name of "choosing concubines" to write a book, and ask Emperor Kangping to choose concubines and concubines at the same time, so as to extend the heirs and stabilize the country.

Emperor Kangping was clear about the thoughts of his ministers, so he refuted it with rare toughness: "I have suffered from the inner palace since I was a child, and after losing my mother, I have never been under the knees of my father, and I am really sad in my heart. The chaos of the harem is really the foundation of the country, so I will never choose a concubine without a queen! ”

Although Emperor Kang Ping had a tough attitude, he did not dare to throw out the words that he would never accept a concubine in this life now.

He is just going to set up Ye Zhen as the queen now, so that these people are worried that they are trying to establish a stable court by interfering in his marriage, if he is honest with them about his plans at this time, I don't know how many sincere and false advice to the imperial heir will have to be recruited!

He didn't want his marriage with Ye Hao to be tortuous, and he didn't want Ye Hao to be pushed to the forefront.

Those people didn't dare to say anything disrespectful to him, the emperor, directly, but they wouldn't be so polite to the Ye family, who didn't have a strong foundation. With his toes, he could also think that if he was really honest, how the ministers would attack the Ye family at that time, and how those long-tongued women who didn't know anything would criticize Ye Hao.

He married Ye Hao to live a happy life with her, not to make her infamous and unhappy.

Emperor Kangping's rare toughness made the courtiers even more uneasy.

But soon, they put their hearts back in their stomachs.

In the evaluation of officials in the new year, Emperor Kangping strictly adhered to the principle of fairness and justice, and the promotion, reward and punishment of officials were reasonable, reasonable, and legitimate.

Even, Emperor Kangping personally promoted several children of the family of eunuchs - although the official position is not very high, but the honor hand-picked by the imperial pen is enough to boast to the world and his descendants!

A storm that might be brought about by not accepting a concubine after standing up was resolved by Emperor Kangping forcefully and calmly.

While the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but be awe-just looking at this tenacious heart and skillful checks and balances, their little emperor has really grown up!

In addition to sighing with emotion, there was also a heroic sense of achievement.

As a minister, who doesn't want to meet Mingjun, show his ambitions, and make his achievements in design, and be famous for eternity?

Even Emperor Kangping himself did not expect that his efforts for his future happy life would unexpectedly boost the morale of the entire Great Zhou bureaucracy and lay the foundation for the "Kangping Zhongxing" praised by later generations.
