Early in the morning, the temple of nourishing the heart.

The smell of love is in the air.

"Your Majesty, can you not go to court, people still want to come again." Chang Qianqian said coquettishly.

Tang Tingbai looked at Chang Qianqian dotingly, and slapped her little ass hard with his big hand, leaving a reddish palm print.

"From today on, you will be the concubine of my inner palace, be a waiter for the time being, it's not too early, it's time for me to go to court."

Looking at Tang Tingbai's back, Chang Qianqian's originally smiling face instantly became cold.

After a hard night's work, it turned out to be just a small waiter.

In the Inner Palace of Dayan, the concubines are divided into fifteen classes.

The lowest is the selection of waiters, followed by the constant presence, talents, beauties, nobles, etc.

"With the cautious temperament of the little emperor, I have little chance of being the queen, after all, my identity is not enough."

"But if I am the only one who is pregnant with the emperor's child, the future crown prince will definitely be my son."

Chang Qianqian muttered to herself, with a hint of determination and killing intent on her face, she already had a plan in her heart, and even the Queen Mother was part of her plan.

Imperial City, Xuanzheng Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood neatly in the main hall.

Tang Tingbai was dressed in a straight dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, extremely majestic.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Su Zhen, the ministers bowed down in unison: "Long live my emperor!" ”

And the generals and nobles, under the leadership of the central general Zhuge Invincible, all clenched their fists with their right hands and smashed them on their chests: "Long live my emperor!" ”

Prime Minister Su Zhen was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for three months, and you have never been married, nor do you have any heirs, so the ministers have the courage to ask the emperor to choose a concubine." ”

As soon as the words fell, the central general Zhuge Invincible also said: "The minister seconded the proposal, the emperor took us as a group of old brothers, went through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and finally laid down the Dayan Nine Mansions, and now although the emperor has succeeded to the throne, there is no heir or no inheritance, please choose a concubine as soon as possible and give birth to the prince as soon as possible!" ”

In the court, the rest of the officials spoke one after another.

Yesterday they had already received orders from their respective leaders, and today they had to force the emperor to agree to choose a concubine no matter what.

Although he is very reluctant to admit that Tang Tingbai is the emperor, there is no other way now.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has three daughters in his family, all of whom are alluring to the country and the city, and the old minister signed up for them to participate in the selection of concubines."

"Although we are martial artists and have no culture, the daughters we educate are all strong in martial arts, and they can not only sleep with the emperor by the emperor's side, but also protect the emperor, killing two birds with one stone."

"Lao Chen has a niece, a member of a century-old family in Jiangnan, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is famous for her water-based Yang ...... Everyone is beautiful, and please give the emperor a chance. ”

“……”

In the Xuanzheng Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials are gossiping, and they basically recommend their daughters or relatives.

You must know that once someone's daughter is pregnant with a prince and is made a prince, it means that the family's chicken and dog will ascend to heaven, and wealth, power, and status will be at your fingertips.

Although this probability is very small, sacrificing a woman has the opportunity to exchange for a hundred years of prosperity of the family, which is definitely cost-effective in their opinion.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair, his eyes like electricity, sweeping the faces of everyone present.

Although Tang Tingbai refused in his heart, Tang Tingbai had to agree.

Because if he refuses, the civil and military officials will definitely obstruct his next decision in every way.

In other words, it's a deal.

Tang Tingbai gave the family behind the civil and military officials a chance to soar.

What the civil and military officials need to do is to cooperate with Tang Tingbai to implement the emperor's decree.

"Okay, since all of you Aiqing agree, then bring the girls from their respective families to the palace in seven days, and I will hold a banquet in the imperial garden, and then get to know each other and see the eyes." Tang Tingbai smiled.

And the civil and military officials all lit up.

Originally, they thought they needed to spend a lot of time, but they never expected Tang Tingbai to agree directly.

Sure enough, Tang Tingbai is still the lascivious tyrant, and he can't walk when he sees a woman.

Prime Minister Su Zhen and Zhuge Wushu glanced at each other, and they all frowned.

They all felt that things were a little too smooth today.

Even, the smooth made them a little unbelievable.

I always feel that Tang Tingbai will have some additional conditions.

Tang Tingbai grabbed the dragon head on the dragon chair with his right hand, and looked at the central general Zhuge Invincible playfully.

And Zhuge Invincible's heart trembled, and he secretly said that it was not good.

Tang Tingbai's eyes were definitely not good.

"General Zhuge , some time ago in the defense of Hedong, I heard that the battle was very fierce, and I want to know the specific details." Tang Tingbai looked at Zhuge Invincible and said lightly.

Zhuge Wushu hurriedly bowed down, thinking in his heart how to answer.

His intuition told him that Tang Tingbai would never ask about a war for no reason.

In the past few months, Tang Tingbai didn't even go to the early dynasty, let alone take care of the military.

After pondering for a moment, Zhuge was invincible before he spoke.

"Your Majesty, three months ago, the first emperor died, and the steppe alien Turks and our vassal country Goryeo jointly sent troops to attack my Dayan River Dongzhou, thieves burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, and robbed when they saw food, and they robbed women even more when they saw them."

"The minister personally led his troops to the battle, and finally after more than two months, the enemy who came to attack was repulsed."

"In this battle, my Dayan lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and the people were even more displaced, and their wives were separated."

In the end, Zhuge Invincible's breathing was a little more solemn, and he obviously thought of the tragic situation in Hedong Prefecture at that time.

Tang Tingbai nodded expressionlessly, and there was some anger in his heart.

His character is like that, protecting the short.

My people, I can beat and even kill myself, but outsiders can't move a finger against them.

Tang Tingbai took a deep breath, and his voice was majestic: "Where is the household department?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out of the crowd.

"The old minister Zhang Tiandao visits the emperor!"

Tang cleared his throat when he heard it.

"Hedong Prefecture has just experienced war, and I have decided to allocate 500,000 taels of silver from the treasury for the reconstruction of Hedong Prefecture."

"For the soldiers who participated in the battle, were wounded, and died in battle, the imperial court gave rewards and pensions, and distributed land and food to this group of soldiers according to their military exploits."

"In addition, warn officials from all over Hedong that if they dare to attack the people's idea of disaster relief money, I will punish their nine clans!"

This......

Zhang Tiandao's face changed.

Half a hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

Moreover, Dayan has experienced the war, and the people have long been bored, and the household department has no money.

Zhang Tiandao did not speak immediately, but looked at Prime Minister Su Zhen.

Su Zhen nodded slightly.

Seeing Su Zhen nodding, Zhang Tiandao immediately replied: "The old minister obeys the order, and the emperor cares about the people, which is the blessing of the people of Dayan." ”

Zhuge Invincible lowered his head, as if a big stone had been pressed in his heart.

In his opinion, Tang Tingbai suddenly asked about the defense of Hedong, and there must be other purposes.

The battle to defend Hedong involved a wide range of activities.

The prefect of Hedong and the general army were greedy for life and afraid of death, retreated before fighting, and fled back to Kyoto with their troops overnight, resulting in heavy casualties among the people of Hedong, which was simply a crime that deserved death.

But these two people are from his West Lake, no matter how dissatisfied, angry, and want to kill, Zhuge Invincible has to protect the two of them.

Otherwise, it will chill the other West Lake members.

In officialdom, walking on thin ice,

Therefore, they must form gangs and form friends, which can be regarded as joining a group for warmth.

At this time, Prime Minister Su Zhen arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Song Congnan, the prefect of Hedong, fled from Hedong Prefecture overnight with a family and gold and silver, and Huang Lei, the chief soldier of Hedong, retreated with only 20,000 soldiers in Hedong, causing the innocent people in Hedong Prefecture to face the enemy's butcher's knife. ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers who belonged to Su Zhen's strength spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, this kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is not worthy of being an official, please ask the emperor to order the killing of these two people and nine clans."

"It's too cheap to cut off your head, these two brutes should be late at noon."

"The minister risked death, please ask the emperor to dispose of these two."

After a while, the people belonging to the Nanshan power group knelt on the ground, and even some people were already in tears, not knowing how much truth there was and how much falsehood there were.

In the entire court, two-thirds of the ministers knelt down.

Not only the people of the Nanshan forces, but even the courtiers loyal to the Empress Dowager Zhao Suzhi also knelt down and demanded that the prefect and the general army of Hedong be killed.

The reason is very simple, the prefect and the general army are absolute feudal officials.

If you can kill these two people, it will be equivalent to weakening the strength of Zhuge Invincible West Lake, and at the same time, you will have the opportunity to install your own people as the prefect or chief soldier of Hedong.

Tang Tingbai looked at Zhuge Invincible with an expressionless face, and ignored the people kneeling on the ground: "General Zhuge , I am not a dumb person, and my Dayan Kingdom is not a soft persimmon, anyone can handle it, the Turks and Goryeo attacked Hedong Prefecture, causing the people to pay a huge price, this matter can't be just settled, so I am ready to send troops to Goryeo to avenge the people of Hedong, what do you think?" ”

What?

Zhuge Invincible's face changed.

He never expected that Tang Tingbai would send troops and attack Goryeo.

Tang Tingbai's meaning is obvious, sending troops to Goryeo, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is his invincible people who die, and it is his Tang Tingbai's name that is promoted.

"Your Majesty, by all means, now that my Dayan has less than 100,000 available troops, we attack Goryeo, the Turks will inevitably attack behind our backs, and the rest of Dayan's neighbors will definitely intervene, please think twice, it's not a good opportunity for revenge." Zhuge Invincible hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

Tang Tingbai's face was cold, and he could almost guess Zhuge Invincible's thoughts.

Now that troops are being dispatched, Dayan's neighbors are bound to move, but these are not the main reasons.

The main reason is that the war will definitely kill people, and the reason why Zhuge Invincible can be so confident is that the military power of the entire Dayan is in his hands, once the army suffers heavy losses, then his Zhuge Invincible power will inevitably be affected, and will even be suppressed by the forces of Nanshan and the East China Sea.

Tang Tingbai stared at Zhuge Invincible's eyes.

Xuanzheng Palace, the atmosphere is tense and terrible.

Suddenly, Tang Tingbai smiled, he stood up and walked to Zhuge Invincible's side step by step.

In Tang Tingbai's opinion, he promised the three major forces to choose a concubine, and as a transaction, the three major forces should also promise him some conditions.

And sending troops to Goryeo is the condition that Tang Tingbai gave Zhuge invincible.

But he refused unwittingly.

Since this is the case, then don't blame Tang Tingbai for turning his face and being ruthless.

Tang Tingbai gently patted Zhuge Invincible's shoulder, and his voice was unquestionable.

"General Zhuge , I heard that your daughter is infinitely powerful and weighs three or four hundred catties, and I don't like fat people, so don't let her participate in the Imperial Garden Banquet seven days later."

"Also, after Song Congnan, the prefect of Hedong, and Huang Lei, the general soldier of Hedong, escaped from Hedong Prefecture, they hid in your house, hand them over, I want to give an explanation to the tragic deaths of the people in Hedong Mansion!"
