Morning meeting.

Zhao Han sat on the top of the hall and said to the courtiers: "The prince is seventeen years old, and the marriage has been discussed for a full year. Since there are endless disputes, I will compromise today, and the crown prince and concubine will only be selected from among the female students from various provinces, regardless of their poor or rich backgrounds. The following conditions must be met—"

"First, dignified appearance and virtuous personality; second, at least a secondary school graduate; third, over 15 years old and under 20 years old; Fourth, there must be no marriage contract, and those who regret the marriage and send the candidate will be severely punished. ”

"Ten people from each province are elected and gathered in the second election of the celebrant and superintendent. The first test of culture is slightly less difficult than the middle school graduation examination, so as to prevent local officials from fraudulently selecting and sending them. The top 100 are selected in the examination, and the rest of the process is handled according to the rules of the previous dynasty for the selection of imperial concubines. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

The cabinet officials looked at each other, and the emperor did not greet each other in advance, but directly announced the decision at the court meeting, and only those with stupid brains would oppose it again.

Those families with female high school graduates are expected to rush to sign up when they get the news. There are definitely not a few people who bribe officials and tear up marriage contracts, and they want to stuff their daughters into the palace. Even if he loses the election in the end, he will have face when he returns to his hometown, and the threshold of his family will be broken by the matchmaker.

There are also a few officials who understand that the emperor has other deep meanings, which is to encourage women to study.

The prince's wedding, one concubine and two side concubines.

But this time there is only one place left, because the prince already has two "childhood sweethearts". The woman's family also knows the situation, and they have not married their daughter, and they are about to drag their daughter into an old girl.

Qiao Hongdao, the right attendant of the household department, was excited and apprehensive at the moment.

His daughter Qiao Wuhua has a deep relationship with the prince. If her daughter becomes the crown princess, will it affect her career? According to the rules of the former Ming Dynasty, the emperor or the prince's father-in-law could not continue to be a civil official. Generally, it is to reward the position of brocade guard, and then seal the marquis or uncle, and then be a rich and idle lord.

Soon, someone came out of the queue with a wat board in hand and asked the question that Qiao Hongdao wanted to ask.

Shoufu Song Yingxing asked: "Your Majesty, if the daughter of a minister is elected as the crown princess, will she be relieved of her official position and then knighted?" If he is not relieved of his official position, will there be foreign relatives interfering in politics? ”

Zhao Han has long considered this, but it has not been announced: "The former Ming Dynasty raised millions of waste clans, and the new dynasty of Datong cannot repeat the mistakes of the past." From now on, no matter whether it is a clan or a relative, they can all be officials in the imperial examination and can make a living on their own. However, the clan and relatives can only be officials at most. In addition, the clans other than the emperor's five suits are not restricted by any rank, and even the first assistant can also do it. ”

The political envoy belongs to the second grade, and the restriction of the third grade is to prevent the clan from ruling the province outside the clan.

And the clan outside the emperor's five suits, the legitimacy of blood is already very low, and it is impossible to rebel through a coup d'état, so there is no need to restrict it. If there is really a successful coup d'état, it means that the Datong Dynasty has rotted to the bones, and it may be better to change a capable clan to be the emperor.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Song Yingxing returned to the train.

Qiao Hongdao was dumbfounded, he is now the third grade, if his daughter becomes the crown princess, his career will basically come to an end. You can also continue to climb up, but at most you can climb to the left squire.

Zhao Han said again: "The eldest daughter of the emperor has also reached the age of marriage, and there are unmarried young talents in the Hanlin and Qintian courts?" You must be under the age of 20, even if you are a graduate student. ”

Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan were listed at the same time.

Qian Qianyi said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the minister retires from the court, he will go to find out the situation. ”

Xiao Shixuan said: "The minister has a disciple, who is eighteen years old, from a clean background, proficient in mathematics, and excellent in character and learning. ”

Zhao Han said: "I will go hunting in the eastern suburbs in a few days, and you will bring all the suitable talents over together and let them meet the princess." ”

When it came to Emperor Zhao, it was even more interesting to choose a horse, and he actually chose it directly in the Hanlin Academy and the Qintian Academy. Anyway, the scholars of these two academies generally do not become administrative officials, and it has no impact on their careers.

A few days later, the emperor took his concubine and children to the Purple Mountain hunting grounds.

Not only was the emperor's eldest son Zhao Kuanghuan and the emperor's eldest daughter Zhao Furong accompanied, but the second daughter Zhao Hanjin and the second son Zhao Kuangyan also went together.

These princes and princesses are all studying in the Imperial City School, but they don't hire additional teachers like the crown prince.

To put it mildly, in case the prince dies unexpectedly, other princes can make up for it immediately, which is nothing more than adding the relevant prince (god special harmony) monarch course.

Zhao Hanjin is fourteen years old this year, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, poked her head out to look back, and even took out a clairvoyant mirror. After observing it, he retracted and said, "Sister, I can see clearly." Of those young talents, there were seven of them, and two of them were quite handsome. ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Furong blushed with shame.

Zhao Hanjin said: "There is one in it, but it is your future husband." ”

Zhao Furong said: "Daddy said, if you can't look at any of them, you can choose again." ”

Zhao Hanjin leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Does my sister have a favorite man at school?" ”

"Nonsense!" Zhao Furong's face turned even redder.

"I guess I'm right." Zhao Hanjin laughed proudly.

Zhao Furong suddenly became anxious: "It's really not, don't talk nonsense!" ”

There is no crush, but there are a few that are pleasing to the eye, all of them are good at studying and handsome.

Unlike the prince's prestige in the imperial city school, those boys didn't dare to play with the princess in order to avoid suspicion. If you have more contact with the princess, you will even be criticized by the teacher. The princesses' usual playmates are all female students of the Imperial City School.

Everyone first came to the racecourse, which had been closed in advance, and idle people were not allowed to enter or leave.

Zhao Han called Li Zicheng to his side, pointed to a group of horses and said, "King Chuang, let's see, how do the horses here compare with the horses in Hetao?" ”

Li Zicheng replied truthfully: "It is much taller than the horses in Hetao." ”

"It has been preferably bred for more than ten years to have such an appearance," Zhao Han said proudly, "Go and choose a horse, try my BMW and ride it." ”

When Li Zicheng was choosing a good horse, Fei Rulan was observing the seven talents.

Zhao Furong, who is about to get married, is Fei Rulan's daughter born in Luling, so she naturally has to choose a son-in-law carefully and seriously.

"Minister (student) so-and-so, meet the queen!"

Seven young people stepped forward to salute, while Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan took the opportunity to introduce their specific situation.

After some understanding, Fei Rulan said: "You young people go and play." ”

The princes and princesses, accompanied by the guards, went to play polo with the seven young men.

Fei Rumei came over: "Which sister is optimistic?" ”

Pan Qimei said: "The one named Feng Qizhi is very good, he is handsome, he talks well, and he is suitable for being a colt." ”

Fei Rulan asked Liu Rusi: "What does Sister Liu think?" ”

Liu said: "My sister chooses a son-in-law, and my sister is inconvenient to speak. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Fei Rulan smiled.

"Then my sister has the courage to say a few words," Liu said, "That Feng Qizhi, his eyes wander, his heart is uncertain, I am afraid that he is not a good match for a princess." is that Tian Yang, although his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are firm, and he is neither humble nor arrogant. ”

Fei Rulan took out the detailed information given by the two courts and read: "Tian Yang, the word Angqi, is from Shaxian County, Fujian. His mother died early, and his father worked as a county official. This person is eighteen years old, ranked second in the provincial examination, and was admitted to Jinling University at public expense. After graduating from university two months ago, he has not yet participated in the imperial examination, and is now a graduate student of Jinling University, working at Qintian Academy to do research. Astronomy and geography, mathematics and physics, all have good attainments. During college, invented ...... I don't understand this, so I don't want to mention it. ”

"What about Feng Qizhi?" Fei Rumei asked.

Fei Rulan said: "Feng Qizhi, the word Pengju, is from Jiangpu, Jinling. Born in the Jiangpu family, his father is a former Ming Xiucai, and is currently engaged in the shipping business. This person is 17 years old, ranked 65th in the Jinling Mansion Examination, and enrolled in Jinling University at his own expense. I also graduated two months ago, and I haven't participated in the imperial examination yet, and I am doing research at the Hanlin Academy. Gong poetry and painting, good scripture and history, quite literary, is a disciple of Qian Qianyi. ”

Fei Rumei said: "I think this is good, the family is rich, the person is handsome, and there is talent." In the play, it is a good wishful husband. As for what kind of eye wandering, a seventeen-year-old boy has not yet set his mind, how many eyes can be determined? ”

Fei Rulan was noncommittal, and asked Tian Xiuying again: "What does my sister think?" ”

Tian Xiuying said: "I am more optimistic about that Li Quan, although his appearance is not as good as Feng Qizhi, he can also be called handsome." What's even more rare is that this person has a heroic spirit, and it looks like he can do great things. ”

Fei Rulan glanced at Li Quan's information and said to Fei Rumei: "This person is still our fellow villager in Jiangxi, his father voted for the Datong Army in Nanchang County, and is currently a brigade commander in Yunnan. It's just that I'm a little older, I've reached the age of twenty, and I once had a marriage contract, and my fiancée died of illness three years ago. This man graduated from university two years ago, gave up the imperial examination on his own, and traveled to several provinces, including Luzon and Taiwan. No, no, it's too lively, and I'm afraid I won't be at home all day after marriage. ”

After a polo game, the princes and princesses returned.

Fei Rulan pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Which one do you like?" ”

Zhao Furong blushed and said, "Li Quan is okay." ”

Hearing this answer, Fei Rulan's face darkened, even if she didn't choose Tian Yang, that little white-faced Feng Qizhi would be fine.

Fei Rulan endured it without losing her temper and asked her daughter, "Why is Li Quan good?" ”

Zhao Furong said: "He is funny, well-informed, and has a good personality. ”

Fei Rulan asked, "What about Feng Qizhi?" ”

Zhao Furong shook his head: "This person can't do it, he is oily and smooth, and he looks like a prodigal son." ”

Fei Rulan asked again: "What about Tian Yang?" ”

Zhao Furong said: "Tian Yang is not good, like a goose, he doesn't talk much. ”

To put it more intuitively, Li Quan belongs to the kind of sunny boy, and he has traveled to several provinces, and even went to Luzon alone. This kind of bright and sunny boy also travels south and north to see a lot of knowledge, and is funny and humorous and can chat, where is the deep boudoir girl not attracted?

Fei Rulan was silent, she wanted to talk to the emperor well.
