There are as many as 10,000 palace maids and female officials in the palace, and many of them were selected into the palace when they were young girls, fantasizing about flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes.

As a result, without even seeing the emperor's face, he had already died of old age and illness in the palace, and was simply buried in a mass grave in the north of the city, just like an ordinary eunuch who died of old age and illness.

There were too many women, Qin Yun and Dong Feng were completely busy, so they called the idle staff and doormen of the prince's mansion to help, and then all the women were registered.

After Hong Chen came in, everyone knelt down one after another, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Flat!"

After Hong Chen announced the harsh standards and generous treatment for the selection of palace maids, the palace maids who could not meet the conditions sighed one after another, and felt that some of the palace maids who met the conditions were very excited!

The price of Dayan is extremely low, a pound of good rice and noodles is only sold for a penny, and ordinary men can earn up to 100 cents after working hard for a month.

Now as a palace maid, not only can she get a high salary of 300 Wen, but she will be rewarded during the New Year's holidays, and she can go out of the palace for four days a month, which is very free.

The most important thing is that there will only be 500 palace maids left, and they will often be able to meet and get along with the emperor who is wise and martial, unmarried and single, and even have the opportunity to be alone.

In case you are favored by the emperor, you can also be promoted to a beauty, a nobleman, a concubine, and if you are pregnant with a dragon, you can even become a concubine!

Even if all this can't be realized, when you are old and earn enough money, the emperor will personally give you a marriage and give you the title of Lady, it will be much better than an ordinary woman!

Just when they were happily signing up, Hong Chen had already given instructions to the staff members for the primary election, so he rode away and came to Jingzhaoyin's mansion.

Peng Yu was on official business, and Hong Chen had already walked into the office and closed the door gently.

Handing a cup of hot tea to Peng Yu, Peng Yu noticed that Hong Chen was coming, and quickly got up and gave his hand: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”

Hong Chen waved his hand, sat next to him, pulled Peng Yu to sit down, and then said, "Father-in-law is exempt." Commander Jiang Tai and Yongan Governor Luo Hui, is there any latest news? ”

Peng Yu replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been secretly domesticating wild pigeons three years ago, and in March this spring, he has been with Jiang Tai, Luo Hui, Nanzhong Governor Huo Wu, as well as secretly controlling 5,000 elite soldiers in Langzhong, and is stepping up the training of 20,000 recruits of Weichen's eldest son Peng Zhong and second son Peng Yi, there are flying pigeons every day. ”

"Jianmen Pass and Langzhong, the air is close to the national capital, Wechen has already received Jiang Tai, Peng Zhong, and Peng Yi's letter this morning, and it is estimated that they should have also received Wechen's letter in the morning."

"Oh! What did Kang Tae say? ”

After Hong Chen asked, Peng Yu hurriedly handed over a small note, on which was Jiang Tai's small characters written on charcoal.

"Zhong Neng persuaded him to surrender, but I refused. Huang Fu, the prison army who has killed the troubles and disturbed the morale of the army, Yan Yu, the commander of Zhenbei, and other incompetent people who are afraid of death, have stabilized the morale of the army. Don't know what happened to Aiden's department? If you go to the national capital, you must stick to it and wait for reinforcements from Nanzhong Huowu! ”

After Hong Chen saw it, he felt a little relieved, and asked again, "What about Luo Hui?" ”

Peng Yu immediately replied, and handed over two small notes: "Luo Hui and Huo Wu, far away in White Emperor City and Zhu Ti City, are still yesterday's letters. ”

Hong Chen first saw the small note written by Huo Wu, confirming that the six counties in Nanzhong were stable, and Huo Wu also planned to personally lead 10,000 elite soldiers to rush back to the capital to rescue.

He praised two sentences, and looked at the small note written by Luo Hui.

"The state of Chu sent Lu Guang, the governor of the horses, to lead an army of 70,000 troops by land and water, and he has arrived outside the city of the White Emperor.

Hong Chen instantly frowned: "Father-in-law, how many land and water soldiers are there in White Emperor City?" ”

"Thirty thousand. The White Emperor City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a natural danger of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, although Luo Hui is young, but the talent of the commander is not inferior to Jiang Tai, please rest assured. ”

"Weichen has already written to inform his second son Peng Yi, asking him to lead 10,000 recruits down the Jialing River from Langzhong, and after arriving in Jiangzhou, he will go along the Yangtze River to support."

"As long as the news of the destruction of Aiden's department reaches Zhong Neng's ears, Zhong Neng will lead the Liang army back to Hanzhong, and Lu Guang can only lead the Chu army back to defend Jingzhou, and the situation in Dayan will soon be stabilized."

"Weichen has sent many messengers to Jianmen Pass, Baidi City and Zhuti City, as well as various counties to convey that the emperor was killed by Aiden's father and son, and the bones are gone, and the emperor will come back from the dead and succeed to the throne as emperor, eliminate Aiden's department, avenge the news of the emperor, and stabilize the hearts of the army and the people as soon as possible."

Hong Chen nodded: "Yes." God bless the Great Fire. ”

"Father-in-law, I want to wait until the Liang State and the Chu State withdraw from the army, gather the civil and military ministers to return to the national capital, and then officially ascend the throne, and officially canonize Lan'er as the queen, but tonight I want to take Lan'er to live in the palace. What do you think? ”

Although it is not polite, it can be seen that the emperor loves the little girl.

Peng Yu suddenly felt that everything he did was worth it.

He nodded happily: "Yes." The emperor, but the first emperor has just died, and it is not suitable for a cave room. ”

Hong Chen nodded: "Okay!" Wait for the day I officially ascend the throne, and then I will have a wedding banquet with Lan'er! ”

"In addition, send someone to take a full set of clothes, shoes and socks from the life of the first emperor to stand a crown mound, and bury them under the grave of Gaozong of Wudan Mountain and the grandfather of the first emperor Yingzong, and set up a plaque in the Taimiao."

Peng Yu thought for a moment and arched his hand: "Please ask the emperor to set up a name for the emperor." ”

Hong Chen didn't think twice: "Faint! He is a mediocre and incompetent traitor, if he hadn't come back from the dead, the country would have been ruined! ”

Peng Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

"Although the first emperor is mediocre and traitorous, he is the emperor's father after all. Da Yan will prosper under the emperor's rule, and such a nickname will have a very bad impact on the emperor and future generations! ”

Hong Chen sighed, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "He is content with pleasure all his life, so let's call it the Great Yan Le Sect." ”

Le is much better than faint, Peng Yu sighed and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Father-in-law, then I went to pick up Lan'er into the palace."

Hong Chen immediately stood up and was about to leave, but Peng Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has another big matter. ”

"Well, you say!" Hong Chen urged.

Peng Yu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggested sending an envoy to the Chu State to persuade the Emperor of Chu to form a long-term alliance with my Dayan and fight against Liang together!" ”

"If you are divided into three points today, the Liang State occupies most of the prefectures and counties in the world, with a population of thirty or forty million and one million soldiers, which is two or three times the size of my Dayan and Chu Kingdom combined."

"If our two countries can't unite against Liang, and we have to fight and consume, we will die and die."

Hong Chen then nodded: "Makes sense!" I hope that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State will also understand this truth, and do not want to occupy Dayan and divide the world with the Liang State. ”

"So, who do you think should be sent?"

Peng Yu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Dong Feng is suitable, and let him have a few deputy envoys to go with him." ”

"But before sending him, he has to be given an important official position, so that he can't be underestimated by the Chu State."

Hong Chen smiled: "Okay." Then temporarily crown Dong Feng as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the official residence is the second grade, and when he returns from completing his mission, he will officially take office. ”

"You send someone to the Qinzheng Palace to call Dong Feng, and I personally write a letter to the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, if they are unmoved, then we will never talk about the alliance again."

"By the way, what about the jade seal of the country?"
