Chapter 213: The Rush to Choose a Concubine
After waiting for a few breaths, when no one spoke, on the dragon chair, the eyes hidden behind the crown looked at the courtiers who did not speak, and an indifferent voice sounded: "But what else do people think?"
"Your Majesty. Hearing Dong Heng's words, a male Fifth Realm powerhouse of the original Yin Ji Sect moved in his heart, and he bowed and said: "The minister thinks that although what Lord Zongzheng said is very right, I Daheng has decided that the selection of a concubine now will definitely cause great turmoil, is it a little inappropriate?"
Therefore, the minister believes that the selection of concubines can be carried out in some days. β
After a moderate amount of advance and retreat, many people who listened to it lit up, and Dong Heng took a look at him more, which was not bad.
For the time being, it's a bit of a rush.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Immediately, the people of the original cathode sect and the original spirit cloud sect echoed their words.
Anyway, they didn't say that they wouldn't choose a concubine, they just waited for a while.
Fang Yanyu hesitated for a moment, and he, who was biased towards the original cathode faction, still didn't stand up, because he knew very well that choosing a concubine at this time was the best for Daheng.
As for what provokes great turmoil, it is simply a reason to look good.
As long as the selection of concubines emphasizes that it is not forced and purely voluntary, even if it causes great turmoil, it will not be unfavorable to Daheng, but the more lively it is, the more it can enhance the people's centripetal force, recognition, and sense of belonging to Daheng.
What's more, the vast majority of the concubines are actually selected from wealthy families in Daheng.
In order to let Daheng establish a relationship with the people in the territory, especially those wealthy families, it is the goodwill released by the Daheng court.
I have to say that not to mention ordinary people, the energy of each of those wealthy families is not small, enough to affect many people, and even the entire city.
They want to have a relationship with Daheng through the selection of concubines and soar, and Daheng also needs their energy and influence to stabilize Daheng's people's hearts, so that the people of Daheng can recognize Daheng and integrate with Daheng.
Therefore, choosing a concubine at this time is beneficial to Daheng Baibai and harmless.
If you wait, I don't know when you will have to wait, after all, it will be the civil and military examination in two years.
Therefore, as a minister, even if he is biased towards Zhu Chengcheng in his heart, he will not stand up, which is his criterion.
We can't abolish the public for private reasons, otherwise we will only harm others and ourselves.
Yu Guang glanced at Long Qing, at this time, it was time for the head of the civil official to come forward.
At this time, seeing that Dong Heng had not yet expressed his position, Xia Xiao and other senior officials who were temporarily neutral had already looked at Long Qing, waiting for the deputy prime minister to speak before they spoke out.
After all, this is the first big court meeting in which the other party has served as the deputy prime minister, and no matter what, as long as it does not involve their own interests, the other party must speak out first in such a major event, and only these high-ranking officials can express their attitude.
This is a respect, but also a rule, which is not easy to overcome.
As for those high-ranking officials who have expressed their stance in advance, their interests have already been involved, so naturally there are not so many taboos.
Long Qing didn't wait any longer, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that choosing a concubine at this time is not harmful to me, so the minister implores the king to choose a concubine." β
"The minister begs the king to choose a concubine. β
One after another, all the high-level civil officials chose to agree, and they would not be unclear about the choice of concubines for the benefit of the country and the people.
What's more, they believe that Dong Heng will not object if nothing else.
Seeing so many high-level statements, the remaining officials who really want to be neutral can only choose to agree.
The faces of the Primordial Spirit Cloud Sect and the Primordial Cathode Sect were a little gloomy, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"In that case, exactly. Dong Heng's expression was still majestic and indifferent, as if the concubine he said had nothing to do with him.
"The selection of concubines this time, sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, and assisted by the rest of the ministries, must not work the people and hurt money, let alone forcibly persecuted, violators, beheaded. The cold and hard voice was not murderous, but it made almost everyone's hearts feel awe.
"Obey. Immediately they saluted.
"Retreat. Without saying anything more, Dong Heng seemed to always be so calm and majestic as if he got up and headed towards the harem.
"Respectfully send the king. All the ministers saluted and went out of the main hall.
"Haha, okay, Brother Li, as long as someone from you and I enters the harem, then there will be a layer of protection!"
"Well, that's good, but this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't want their daughter's family to enter the palace?
"Damn, all of them are wolf ambitions, but even if they enter the palace, what can they do? β
"It's a good thing for the king to choose a concubine, but you have to supervise it more, otherwise a good thing may not become a bad thing. β
............
............
Sentences of secret transmission kept shuttling back and forth, discussing the upcoming selection of concubines.
Soon, the news of the king's choice of concubines spread throughout the royal capital, and countless wealthy families became excited, and countless ordinary people were also happy, dreaming of flying on the branches as a phoenix one day.
Even if there is no suitable daughter's home at home, let alone that idea, I can't help but feel a huge sense of joining in the fun.
For a time, the matter of choosing a concubine was discussed in almost the entire king.
Not only that, Dong Heng had already sent more than two hundred Fourth Realm powerhouses to convey the will to the entire Daheng, asking the various city lords to prepare in advance and wait for the people from the Ministry of Rites to arrive.
In just a few days, the entire Daheng was in a boil.
"Great! The king chooses a concubine, with Qingyan's appearance and talent, she will definitely be able to enter the harem, and my royal family is expected to rise!"
"The king chooses a concubine! Hurry up, quickly inform Yuan'er to come back, you must not miss this opportunity!"
"Have you heard? The king is going to choose a concubine, and now our entire Xinyang Giant City's suitable daughter's family is ready, and all those who have marriage contracts have been postponed?"
"Choose a concubine, choose a concubine, let all the suitable women in the clan gather, the king chooses a concubine, my Tong family must not miss it. β
............
............
"Wangshang~, although Tianxiu is not outstanding, but this time Tianxiu will definitely work hard and will always be by your side. β
......
"Da Heng, Dong Heng, if you want to marry, marry Dong Heng, the life in the harem, this girl is looking forward to it now. β
......
"Tell my father that I can go to participate in the election of concubines, but my father must not hurt Brother Tianchong, otherwise I would rather die than go. β
............
............
In the entire territory of Daheng, there are all kinds of living beings, and countless things have happened around the matter of choosing a concubine.
But no matter what, when the behemoth of the Daheng Imperial Court was serious, the matter of choosing a concubine was being prepared as quickly as possible.
It is expected that a month after the court meeting, the selection of concubines in the major cities will officially begin.
Borderless Kingland.
After the meeting that day, Dong Heng still lived a repetitive life as if nothing had happened.
In the harem, he went to Qingyun Palace that night, and he didn't think about the reason.
And Li Qinglu's attitude is still the same, as if nothing has happened, and they get along quietly as usual.
But inexplicably, after waiting for a while, he saw that Li Qinglu had never done anything, but he was a little displeased, so he sat there and read the book all night with a somewhat stiff face.
Afterwards, when he thought of this, his brows couldn't help jumping, and he immediately suppressed his emotions, and subconsciously chose to forget the extremely naΓ―ve thing in his eyes.
As for the Snow Pole Palace, he went there once two days later.
It was not beyond his expectations, although Zhu Qingcheng didn't say anything, his breath was cold and he didn't know how much.
But what Zheng He expected on the side was that Dong Heng did not have any emotions such as displeasure.
In addition to the harem, Dong Heng has basically been in the imperial study, dealing with government affairs and recovering from injuries.
On the sixth day of the Imperial Meeting, his injuries had fully recovered, and it was also since that day that his terrifying cultivation speed reappeared.
With thirty-five Divine Cities, the huge power of Qi Luck and the power of humanity were enough to increase his current cultivation speed by twenty-five times.
On the twelfth day, on the dragon chair in the imperial study, Dong Heng's eyes sharpened, looking at Xia Xiao who had just walked in, and a trace of solemnity rose in his heart: "Have you checked it out?"
"Back to the king, it has been eighty percent confirmed. Xia Xiao's expression was cautious, although her eyes were full of calm, but under the calm was a terrible gloom.
