Chapter 280: Awesome and Can't Work
When Brother Liang was going to settle in the Qianqing Palace, and the news of choosing a companion to read came out, the court was boiling.
The main thing is that Zhou Botong announced two things at the same time in a holy decree.
First of all, the selection rules for female officers have been slightly revised, and the primary election is still once a year.
However, only five to ten people are selected in the first stage of each year, and when the time comes, they go directly to the palace to go to the library to work as an errand.
Fifteen to twenty candidates are selected for the second stage, and these people do not need to go to the palace as errands.
Either ask the palace after the primary election and marry on your own.
Either participate in the triennial re-election, if you are good enough, good enough, you can also hope to get married, but there is no guarantee that there will be.
Because in the future, the palace will decree that marriage will be given, and there is only the first stage.
As for the second stage of the candidacy, you have to win the triennial general election, and then there will be a marriage in the palace.
Of course, this marriage gift will not be available to everyone.
In the second phase, there are fifteen to twenty people per year, that is, forty-five to sixty people will compete over three years.
And the marriage wheel in the palace at that time will only be given to the second stage, and there will only be six paths.
These six marriages also include rewards for meritorious servants.
This reflects the message that the palace marriage will not be sold as much as in previous years.
Because there are fixed quotas!!
When the big guy first heard the first half, he was immediately angry.
How could the emperor be like this?
used to be like cabbage, making them think that everyone has a share.
Well, now, even in the second round, it's only a tenth of the places.
The most important thing is that you have to guard against a cold and sudden run out of a courtier with military achievements.
Although there are not many wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how do you know if your daughter will encounter this kind of thing?
If you're lucky, you'll be able to re-select after the primary.
If you're unlucky, you'll have to wait three years before re-electioning.
I don't know if I'm going to be shortlisted.
Even if you enter the encirclement and ten people compete for a place, it is still difficult to do well.
Suddenly, the big guy felt as if he had been united by the emperor and queen.
You think, now the big guys are left in their hands are all daughters with both wisdom and beauty.
There are also some beautiful and unbelievable things, charming and lovely, and they go to the positions of beauties.
As for the age, there are big and young, and the younger ones don't care, anyway, three years will be three years.
But now they have at least half of them, girls of sixteen or seventeen.
is waiting for next year's female official selection, and when the time comes, she will directly enter the palace to be Zhou Botong's concubine, and then immediately open up branches for the royal family.
Before, they were thinking that Zhou Botong's queen ~ palace, two concubines, four concubines, six concubines and N Duojieyu, the position of the beauty is vacant.
Anyway, it's always a matter of picking ten this time, right?
Those who are tall and go to the concubines and concubines.
Those who are from poor backgrounds, who are glamorous, go to concubines and Jieyu, and beauties.
In their opinion, it's basically a choice between two or the other.
But now, the wave of the Divine Decree came out.
In other words, you have to go to the library to be a female official for three years or at least one year before you have the opportunity to become Zhou Botong's concubine.
If you are young, of course, you can delay, but what will you do when you are older?
In case Zhou Botong doesn't like it at that time, will it be someone else's steproom, or the second room?
It's a complete dilemma, okay!!
And the second half of the decree made some people feel rejoicing.
Brother Liang will enter the Qianqing Palace from now on, and will choose eight companions to read.
Three of them were selected from the clan, and five were selected from the nobles of the family.
Some people wanted to jump out and ask Zhou Botong to take back this holy decree.
But the problem is that the big guy also knows that since this holy decree was issued explicitly, that is, the cabinet agreed to it.
And if you really jump out, you let people take it back, you can't say that you only take back the front one, and they still support the back, right?
If all of them are taken back, it will offend all the families and all the clans.
Everyone knows what it means to be the prince's companion.
You give Zhou Botong as a concubine, there are still risks.
For example, if you can't give birth to a son, can you raise a son?
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone knows that the wonderful books of the Library Pavilion are the queen's people.
The ghost only knew that their daughter would be ruined by the wonderful book when she entered the palace as a female official.
Relatively speaking, it is better to invest in companion reading with less risk and greater cost of profit.
As long as you succeed in becoming a companion, it is no problem for the family to continue to build a business for 50 years.
Therefore, although all the courtiers in the court have their own careful thoughts, I hope that some stunned young people can jump out.
But the problem is that until the end of the court, no one jumped out of the righteous and courageous way.
Shoufu Li-sama and Guo-sama gave each other a look that they both understood, and then silently lowered their eyelids.
Master Li felt that fortunately he didn't have the nieces and granddaughters of the right age, and he didn't think about using his daughters to deepen the relationship with the palace.
Look at how secure your position is.
I think at the beginning, he wouldn't be the first assistant, if it weren't for Zhou Botong's protection.
After the chaos at that time, Emperor Qingfeng thought about promoting another cabinet to be promoted to the position of first assistant.
How can I say it, although Master Li was excellent in handling affairs at that time, the promotion of the cabinet was also progressive.
But he has a mediocre relationship with other colleagues in the cabinet.
In Emperor Qingfeng's opinion, it is difficult for such a first assistant to carry out his work.
Later, Zhou Botong somehow explained Emperor Qingfeng, he became the first assistant, and Guo became the fourth Guo Sifu in the cabinet.
Because of Jinhiko's relationship, the two also formed an alliance.
After Zhou Botong became emperor, the four formed a small group.
As for the other five members of the cabinet, there were also different small groups, each representing a different family of nobles.
But because the emperor and queen are in a group with them, relatively speaking, most of the contests and hand-holding strength are won by them.
Whether it is Master Li or Master Guo, they actually admire their former students and current queens.
You say, even if they are more upright, there is not only one woman by their side.
Like Lord Li, there are concubines, and they have a room, although the number of people is not large.
But in general, from his youth to now, Master Li has been close to more than a dozen women.
As for Lord Guo, although there are no concubines now, there are still rooms.
There are few women around, but the total number is as many as seven or eight.
In their case, it has been said that they should stop being upright and gentlemen.
The son of their family is basically the best son-in-law candidate among many mothers-in-law in the capital.
But what about the saints today?
Before getting married, I also heard that there was no intercourse, and there was no rumor that I had any eyebrows with any girl.
As for the queen from marriage to now, she has guarded the queen alone.
And in the case of many eyes and ears in the palace, I have never heard of which palace maid has been favored by the saint, and the rumors of female officials have come out.
Is this the queen's tricks?
Or can't you be holy?
