Chapter 385 Choosing a Concubine

The subtle attitude of the emperor quickly spread to the entire court and the opposition, which is a new wind direction, which is related to the future planning of all families and individuals.

Historically, it is not uncommon for emperors to make gestures of ceding power, and there are even those who let the crown prince participate in the management of state affairs, or act as the superintendent of the state when the emperor leaves the capital.

But it turned out that in reality it was just a gesture, and even the ultimate test for the crown prince.

The princes who failed to pass the test generally ended up miserable, and it was good to be abolished as commoners, and it was very suspenseful whether they could save their lives.

But since Liu Zhi ascended the throne, he has not taken the usual path, and his way of handling things does not seem to violate common sense, but if you think about it carefully, it is not like that.

So this time, what does our Emperor want to do?

Yuan Xu, Li Ying and other first- and second-class officials, but they are peaceful, they have dealt with Liu Zhi for more than 20 years, and they know his style very well.

Although Liu Zhi's personality has also changed a lot in the past 20 years, this change is indeed traceable, and it is also under their witness.

Therefore, they all understand that in front of this maverick emperor, there is no need to guess at all, they just need to do their duty.

The bigwigs are indifferent, but it is impossible for the middle-level officials below to turn a blind eye, and many of them have no chance to climb to high positions in their lives.

Unless...... What special opportunities can be seized, otherwise, relying on your own efforts, there is no prospect of getting ahead.

In front of you, isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if you know that once you fail to gamble, you may not even be able to keep your position today, but there are still a lot of people who are willing to gamble their lives.

Especially in some large families, they are used to not betting on the same bowl, so that no matter what the situation is, they can ensure the long-term interests of the family.

Liu Zhi also expected this situation, but he would not interfere, Liu Jin would also need to have his own group of people when he took the position in the future.

As an emperor, the combination of grace and power is the basic way to control people, and now Liu Jin is not yet the time to exercise power, so Liu Zhi will give him the opportunity to show grace.

Of course, selecting and cultivating loyal manpower is also a science, and from these details, we can see Liu Jin's style of handling government affairs in the future.

For the Han Empire, it has passed the chaotic stage of putting things right and cleaning up the source, and now, it has already entered a period of rapid development.

All the rules and regulations have been established, the country is in good order, and the four seas are peaceful.

In such an environment, Dahan no longer needs a leader with a sharp and tough style, but needs a gentleman with a gentle style but can stick to principles.

Therefore, Liu Zhi's decentralization behavior is indeed a test for him, to see if he can keep his bottom line in the face of the influx of loyalists.

If the mind is not firm enough, it must be adjusted in a targeted manner, and in any case, the remaining four years are specially used for transitional handover.

Even if it really doesn't work, he still has a chance to change it, of course, he still believes in his vision and believes that Liu Jin can be qualified for the position of emperor.

At the same time, the crown prince's marriage has finally been put on the agenda, and Queen Deng Meng has already let the news out, not only to choose a concubine for Liu Jin, but also to choose a concubine for Liu Yu, the king of Xiangyang.

After all, the two of them are twins, the same age, and they can be prioritized on other issues, but marriage matters must be treated equally.

As soon as the news was released, it alarmed the government and the opposition, the crown prince and concubine, that is, the future queen of the Han Dynasty.

The Han Empire has always had strong relatives, and several generations of emperors have been controlled by relatives, and when they came to Liu Zhi, they said that they wanted to control the power of their relatives.

But if you look at the current grace of the Deng family, it is not like cooking oil on fire, flowers are brocade, and the power is over the entire government and the opposition.

Therefore, if there are relatives who can't get on the throne, the key is to see if they can capture the emperor's heart.

As long as the emperor and queen have deep feelings, the family will not worry about the future, and if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't have a sacred heart, as long as you can give birth to a prince and become the queen mother, the result is not the same.

All of a sudden, there were countless people who went to the queen's side to inquire about the news, such as carp crossing the river.

Regarding the candidate conditions for Concubine Liu Jinzheng, Liu Zhi decided to listen to his own opinion first.

No matter how important family background and political factors are, after all, it is he who wants to get along, and when the time comes, not to mention finding someone who is happy with each other, at least he can't look at each other.

The Son of Heaven has no family affairs, and the discord between the emperor and the queen will also affect the pattern of the court, and then affect the prosperity and stability of the entire country.

On this day, Liu Zhi stayed at the Changqiu Palace for dinner, and by the way, he brought the crown prince Liu Jin over and asked him what his conditions were.

Liu Jin thought for a while, "The child feels that his family background doesn't matter, the key is that his character must be upright, of course, his family must also be free of stains, and it is best to be a clear literati." ”

He understands his parents, and has always been more open-minded on marriage issues, and when his brothers and sisters chose their other half, they also made their own conditions.

Liu Zhiyan nodded, it seems that he has thought about this matter, but what he said is all political factors, but he forgot to consider his own preferences.

"And what kind of woman do you like?"

"This ......"

Liu Jin obviously hesitated, tried to think about it, but was still a little dazed, "It's good to be like a mother or eldest sister." ”

This child is devoted to government affairs, and it is estimated that he has never paid attention to the love between men and women.

Anyway, Deng Meng's vision is not bad, when the time comes, choose a few more, let him pick slowly, according to the rules of the Han royal family, you can choose five concubines at one time.

It's just that except for the concubine, the rest of them will have to wait for half a year after they get married before they can enter the palace one after another.

Regarding this point, Liu Zhi felt that it was not very good, and discussed it with Deng Meng, and felt that it was better to choose only one concubine, and the rest of the concubines could wait for two years.

Such an arrangement is more beneficial to both the country and the family.

It can give them time to cultivate their feelings, and it can also ensure the birth of their eldest son, saving them a lot of trouble in the future.

Deng Meng is also very in favor of this matter, and the husband and wife together feel that Liu Jin's personality is too dull, and it is best to find a woman who is a little more lively and cheerful, but also knowledgeable and polite.

And because Liu Yu is still in Chengdu, there is no way to ask for his opinion, so he can only choose him slowly first, and let him make his own decision when the time comes.

Liu Yu's personality is out-of-the-box, and the couple feel that it is best to find a woman who can suppress him, and it doesn't matter if she is a little stronger.

After the edict of choosing the crown princess was officially promulgated, for a while, the entire Han aristocratic class was lively.

Of course, His Majesty also directly explained that regardless of family background, there are opportunities for officials above the fourth grade.

This made many middle-level officials who were promoted from the imperial examination smell an opportunity from it......
