Although Zhu Houzhao didn't have much thought about his wedding, in the era of strict etiquette, he was the emperor again, and he didn't have much freedom.

But not having too many ideas doesn't mean not having ideas.

After all, this is to choose a partner for him to have children, and he wants to spend the next few decades with these women, to do intimate things, to speak intimately.

Even if you can't be free to fall in love. But at least you can pick the one that you look like, right?

This kind of thing is a Buddha, but he is not a Buddha.

No matter what, I still care more or less in my heart.

And the emperor had this idea, and there was a 'traitor' like Liu Jin who always catered to, and this matter was quickly properly arranged.

But Liu Jin will not do it blindly with his head stuffy, he will wait for the Empress Dowager Zhang to finish reading it first, and then make a little move in the link approved by the emperor, and think of a way for the emperor to take a look.

In ancient China, different dynasties had different aesthetics. Just like the Tang Dynasty was beautiful in plumpness, and the Song Dynasty was beautiful in terms of women's elegance and simplicity, and wrote Li Shishi's sentence 'The distant mountains have long eyebrows, and the thin willows have waists and birds', which is this feeling.

In the Ming Dynasty, more attention was paid to the overall beauty of form. From the hairline, waist, feet to the whole body, it is subdivided into four parts: eyebrows, eyes, lips and hands. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, a woman's beauty could not be reflected by dressing up, she needed to have a natural overall beauty.

The above is the statement of cultural people.

In fact, the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty are closer to modernity, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to have both appearance and figure.

It's not a plump or simple thing that can be dealt with, it must be from the eyes to the nose, from the posture to the facial features, everything must be ready.

In general, such a woman is hard to find.

But the old Zhu family can find it.

And the old Zhu family not only loves to find a beautiful daughter-in-law for the prince, but also loves to find a handsome horse for the princess, called 'neat appearance, dignified behavior', these eight words are the requirements of the "Ming Huidian" for the concubine.

is like Princess Yongkang's concubine Cui Yuan.

With Liu Jin's arrangement,

One afternoon in August, the heat was subsiding.

Zhu Houzhao came to the door of a house that had been settled to cool off.

Before the steps outside the door, there is a vacant space of a square courtyard, and the edge is a quaint corridor in a circle, all the way to the threshold where Zhu Houzhao is located.

At this time, people did not know where they could reflect light to see. It's just that I know from experience that people who hide in the house and don't see the sun can't see it very clearly.

The truth is that the sun doesn't shine, and there is no light coming out of it.

But the people inside look out clearly, because the people are in the sun.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Jin was short beside him, "Do you want to start?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was sitting, and there were some thick documents beside him, which recorded all the information of these fifty people. Actually, his mood is a little complicated, this thing ...... One by one, I passed in front of me, and this was a real beauty pageant.

"Does the Queen Mother have a favorite candidate?"

This sentence is to ask Qiuyun who came over with him.

“…… Yes, there is one that gets compliments. His family background, physical appearance and appearance can be regarded as a temporary choice. ”

"Just one person?"

"There are others who say yes." Liu Jin picked up the conversation, "But there is only one person who talks so much." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Got it, you call it."

……

……

Although Chen Jili does not have the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he is not a stupid person.

A trip to the Qianqing Palace, because of his weakness, caused his boss Gu Zuo and the military department Shangshu to fight directly in front of the king.

Although the fundamental reason is that some people are jealous of the virtuous, this matter has something to do with him.

Therefore, after going back, I was still scared all day long, and I couldn't feel at ease.

Later, I had to find Gu Zuo in private, and when I saw him, I knelt down.

"Shao Situ Jianba's grace, the lower official is unforgettable. The incident of the salt field was all due to the timidity of the lower officials, and it eventually led to bad results. When Xia Guan thinks about it from time to time, he will feel sorry for Shao Situ!

”

Gu Zuo was in the middle, and Chen Jili knelt outside the threshold, some distance, but not too far, and he could hear it.

After a slight silence, Gu Zuo's voice came out.

It's calm.

"Your Majesty's decree, the auction of the two Huai salt farms will be controlled by the Shaofu. Six of the 30 salt farms are selected for auction, and the rules are to be set by us......"

After speaking, Gu Zuo stretched out his hand, "Where's the thing?" ”

Chen Jili blushed suddenly.

"Good. If it is not written on paper, then there should always be imprinted in your mind, this is not the Qianqing Palace you are afraid of. Say as much as you like. ”

Chen Jili clenched his fists, "Shao Situ! The words of Da Sima that day......"

"That's the official's business, what does it have to do with you?!" Gu Zuo suddenly burst out in anger.

Then he rushed out and pointed to the immature young man kneeling on the ground, "This official has taught you that above the court, only pragmatism can be undefeated!" Do you see you're being pragmatic?! Da Sima's words? That's your business? Even if you have to take care of it, what can a small Langzhong manage? ”

"Xia Guan just feels sorry for Shao Situ!"

"In Shaofu, there is only one thing that I can't do with this official, that is, when this official asks you a question, and when you ask, you don't know!"

The continuous questions and answers made Chen Jili speechless, and his heart was even more painful for a while.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan knows it's wrong! I beg Shao Situ to punish him. ”

"If the punishment is useful, everyone in the world can become Song Heng and Zhang Chi."

Gu Zuo actually didn't know how to punish him, and the jade couldn't be cut out. It can only be said that he still has to figure it out.

"The matter of the salt pan auction is urgent and important, what do you suggest?"

Chen Jili didn't dare not answer, so he could only think on the spot, "The lower officials think that they can first issue a decree to set up 24 salt farms this year, and introduce the new auction law of the imperial court to the salt merchants. Without the former, the latter would ...... Nobody wants to know. We then selected a salt farm with relatively stable production and auctioned it first. The whole can be divided into one salt field, two salt fields, and three salt fields for three auctions. ”

That's the finer one.

Gu Zuo nodded, but in fact, he was also a little worried, "In this way, once the auction fails, it will be difficult to stabilize this year's Lianghuai Salt Class." ”

"So Da Situ ...... over there"

Thinking about it now, there is a reason why Chen Jili is afraid. It's just that he shouldn't dwell on these things for too long and forget about the business, but fortunately, he is a little anxious.

"Don't worry about things you shouldn't be worried about. After you go back, think about it carefully, and make sure you have a detailed and actionable method. Today is just a warning, and next time, even if you have some talents, this official will never spare them! ”

"Xiaguan understands!"

As for the things of the court,

Gu Zuo also responds to all changes with the same, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but the Forbidden City has always been like this.

……

"Your Majesty don't worry."

"What am I worried about?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Qiuyun puzzled.

The girl whispered, "The skin of the woman Your Majesty likes should be as white and smooth as withered jade." Therefore, the slave and maid focused on this point in their selection. ”

“……”

"Well done."
