Last time, I talked about urging the carpenter to refine the magic weapon "Flying Silver Needle" for his apprentice Zhu Youxiao, and then the "master" answered his questions, and he benefited a lot.

"Oh? In that case, what does Shi Niang mean ......? After listening to Shi Niang's explanation, Zhu Youxiao not only became more and more interested in the "magic weapon".

"Hmph, what else can the old lady mean? It's just to tell you that if you want to exert the power of this 'magic weapon', you have to improve your own strength first. ”

"Boost your strength? However, the master only said that he would teach me three 'martial arts masters' first, what is it called? But before he could teach, he rested. ”

"Giggles, huh? In that case, let the old lady teach you. The baby said: "I heard that although you are the emperor, you are illiterate, and you must not know many words?" Therefore, the old lady plans to teach you martial arts by hand. But before that, I have to help you get familiar with it in advance? ”

"Oh? I don't know what the master wants her apprentice to do? Zhu Youxiao was apprehensive, after all, the teacher in front of him looked like a half-old and her appearance was far inferior to her "nurse", but her figure was convex and backward and her skin was soft and smooth, which made Zhu Youxiao feel an "impulse" to be conquered by "maternal love".

"Giggles, good apprentice, come here, come to the old lady, meditate on your knees and breathe out the qi." The baby smiled and said: "Stretch out your hands, gently press on the palm of the old lady's hand, close your eyes, calm down, don't think nonsense." When the old lady calls in your heart, you follow the old lady's train of thought and do your luck. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Zhu Youxiao was surprised. ———— "Yes, tonight I will first teach you the "Dharma Yijin Sutra" exercise route, tomorrow night to teach you "Shaolin Eighteen Hands", and the next night to teach you "Eighteen Falls of Clothes", and then rely on your own integration, and strive to open up the 'Rendu Second Pulse' as soon as possible." ”

"Oh, thank you, Master." As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youxiao obediently did what the baby and her mother asked, and the old man Fang on the side couldn't help but be envious, so he hurriedly bowed to the two people who were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, and then went straight out of the palace and returned to his mansion.

Although the master and apprentice were speechless all night, Zhu Youxiao's ideology was wrapped in the powerful spiritual power of the baby, and he was moving forward quickly along the meridians and acupoints around his body, and gradually formed inertia under the intention or unintentionally of the baby's mother to input his true yuan and mana into the body.

If someone looks carefully, they will definitely find that Zhu Youxiao's pores are open at this time, and he is emitting a yellow mist or even gray mist outward.

However, the baby mother ignored the dilemma of this little guy at this time, after all, as the emperor, he must be responsible for the happiness of his concubines.

In this way, the baby and the apprentice continued to palm, by using their true yuan, mana to wash the muscles and marrow of this apprentice, although the process was extremely gentle and the effect was very slow, but she still believed that after three consecutive nights, she must be able to help him in the matter of opening up the "second pulse of Ren Du".

There was nothing to say all night, and when the sun rose, the baby finally breathed out and called it a day, and at the same time returned to her body to rest. At this time, Zhu Youxiao just finished work, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a strange scene again, that is, the face and facial features of the master quickly collapsed, and as soon as he turned around, he became the master.

"Say hello to Master." After Zhu Youxiao saw that his master's face was hidden, this body turned around and became a master, and he was immediately excited.

"Haha, apprentice, how do you feel? Last night, your master taught you the "Dharma Yijin Sutra" exercise formulas and exercise routes, have you memorized them? ”

"Well, I've memorized everything, I wonder if Master wants to assess the apprentice?" Zhu Youxiao practiced last night, and now he is slowly getting acquainted with it.

"Not yet." The carpenter laughed: "Hurry up and go to the court, it will be a joke if it is too late." However, today is the last time you, the 'Emperor of the Apocalypse', will accept the courtiers' bowing ceremony, so you can't be careless, and you have to ask your queen and concubines to be present and be a witness, hehe. ”

"Uh...... Master, to tell you the truth, I'm afraid that the concubines of the apprentice still don't know that the apprentice has recovered, and have decided to abdicate immediately this morning. ”

"Haha, it doesn't matter." The carpenter smiled: "The master will use great mana to send you to the concubines in turn, urging them to hurry up and prepare to go to the early court." ”

As soon as the words fell, the carpenter pinched the trick and recited the spell, and cast the "Seventy-two Techniques of the Left Road of the Side Door" spell, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a mana, wrapped Zhu Youxiao, and sent it directly to the "Ciqing Palace" where the queen lived. "Zhang Yan'er, my queen, I've come to see you, hehe."

Empress Zhang, the Empress of Yi'an of Emperor Tianqi of Emperor Xi of the Ming Dynasty, is a native of Xiangfu County, Henan Province (now Kaifeng County). Zhang Yan was pure and demure when she was a child, and she smiled without showing her teeth. When she was seven years old, she worked hard, sweeping the yard, doing laundry and cooking, and she could do everything.

When she has nothing to do, Zhang Yan is alone in a room, practicing to be a female celebrity and reading book history. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was born slender and beautiful, peerless. After Zhang Yan's father Zhang Guoji was widowed, her daughter Zhang Yan kept her home and outside in order, took care of her younger siblings, and was friendly and kind.

In March of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), as soon as the Emperor Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and became emperor, he asked for a big wedding, so he elected a lady from thirteen to sixteen years old in the world. About 5,000 people, including Zhang Yan, went to Beijing to solicit the candidates. Complex processes such as primary, secondary and final selection are carried out in Beijing.

There was a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to choose a queen from among the ladies of the world. When Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty elected the queen, the Empress Dowager sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites: "Inside and outside the capital, in the virtuous homes of officials and officials, choose their parents who are virtuous and virtuous, known as family law women, fifteen to eighteen years old, with clean appearance, pure sex, serene words and movements, and those who are courteous in salt, let their parents send them, and I will read them in person." It shows that the emperor's selection of concubines is actually handled by the queen mother and other elders behind the scenes.

The process of selecting concubines after the primary selection is as follows: in the first round of selection, they are all in groups of 100 people, in the order of the year, they all stand neatly, and the eunuchs are inspected one by one according to the group. The eunuchs inspected and said: so-and-so is slightly taller, so-and-so is slightly shorter, so-and-so is slightly fatter, and so-and-so is slightly thinner. This round of ladies was eliminated about a thousand people.

The second round of screening is still one group per 100 people. The eunuchs will strictly inspect one by one according to the requirements, carefully check and even measure and compare all the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, waist, collar, shoulders, back and other ten contents of all the inspected ladies, if one is unqualified, it will be eliminated, about 1,000 people.

The third round of screening is still a group of 100 people, and the internal supervisors are still checking again, mainly to hear whether the voice is sweet. Words are the voice of the heart, and the voice is censored.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, let these ladies recite their surnames, places of origin, and ages, and listen to the voices of the ladies, and everything that is slightly stronger, weaker, slightly thicker, slightly voiced, slightly faster, and slightly slower will be eliminated, about a thousand people. This is mainly due to the strict rules in the Imperial Palace.

After entering the re-selection stage, the ladies who participated in the re-election in the first round were strictly screened by the eunuchs. For example, the eunuchs would take a ruler and measure the hands and feet of the ladies one by one, check their wrists, and weed out ladies with slightly thicker and shorter wrists and slightly longer and larger toes. Then, the eunuchs ordered the ladies to walk dozens of steps in a circle in order to observe whether the ladies' walking posture and demeanor were beautiful, and a total of about 1,000 people were eliminated.

After the second round of screening, the group of 5,000 ladies has been eliminated from 4,000, leaving only about 1,000 people, all of whom have been summoned to the palace for selection. At this time, the old lady was introduced into the secret room, looked at her body, checked her breasts, smelled her armpits, stroked her skin, and eliminated about 700 people.

At this time, there were about 300 ladies in the third round, and they all lived in the palace for a month. Let the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines in the palace secretly carefully observe their temperament, words and other items, and evaluate their personalities as a whole, whether they are rigid and soft, foolish, virtuous, and thick? In the end, only 50 people were selected as ladies!

However, the remaining 50 ladies can already be treated as the emperor's concubines and servants, after all, the emperor also needs women to inherit the lineage.

The final election result was still the matter of the eunuch Liu Kejing, the "celebrant eunuch", coming to the prime minister and the emperor to choose marriage, after all, he was the chief administrator of the interior. At that time, the harem was controlled by Liu Zhaofei (87 years old) of the Wanli Emperor who lived in Cining Palace as the "Imperial Concubine", and finally the list was finalized by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The first round of interviews in the final stage was presided over by Liu Kejing, the "chief manager of the inner house", who checked the calligraphy, oral arithmetic, poetry, music, singing and dancing of each lady to evaluate their cultural literacy. After layers of screening, three people were finally selected from these 50 people, who are the future concubines: Zhang Yan, Wang and Duan.

These three people "have faces like Guanyin, colors like morning glow reflecting snow, and like hibiscus out of the water; The temples are like spring clouds, the eyes are like autumn waves, the mouth is like a cherry blossom, the nose is like a hanging gall, the teeth are fine, the plump and broad, and the Qianfu is pleasant; The neck is white and long, the shoulders are round and square, and the back is thick and flat; Walking like the green clouds out of the distance, spitting out like the drop of flowing water in the spring; No hemorrhoids, no ulcers, no sunspot wounds. The above description is a bit exaggerated, but it can reflect the aesthetic taste and beauty standards of ancient times, especially the Ming Dynasty.

As for the second round of re-examination, it is the palace maids who guide Zhang to the "secret room" for the re-examination, what is the test, no one knows, it is estimated that it is to see any means for women to wait for men, right? I saw "Concubine Liu" covering Zhang Yan with a green gauze handkerchief, and tying her arms with gold and jade and other tokens, so she ......

In the third round of re-examination, it is also appointed. In the end, the palace maids introduced Zhang Yan to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, and were immediately shocked! Emperor Tianqi liked Zhang Yan very much, because Zhang Yan had just turned fifteen years old at this time, and she had a slender, plump, refreshing, and beautiful body.

According to historical records, on the third day of the fourth month of the first year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse (1621), "on that day, Yuanhui Hall selected three ladies, Zhang in Xiangfu County, Henan, Wang in Daxing County, Shuntianfu, and Duan in Yingyangwei, Nanjing." These three "ladies" won from the hundreds of millions of qualified applicants in the world, amazing!

However, in the ninth volume of the "Records of Ming Xi Zong", it is said that Zhang, Wang, and Duan, who is the last? Who is the concubine? But due to the conflict of interests, it has experienced some twists and turns. There is a saying that the "milk lady" Keshi opposed Zhang's queen, and the reason is: "This woman will grow up in the future, she will be fatter, less funny, and she will be the right choice?"

Another theory is that the "Zhao Xuanzhi" of "Emperor Taichang" agreed with Zhang's posterior: "If you are upright and blessed, chaste and not foolish, then Zhang's daughter is especially superior." ”

In the end, the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu was ordered by the school to canonize Zhang as the queen on a certain day, and at the same time canonize Wang and Duan as imperial concubines.

"The Biography of Empress Ming Yi'an" also describes Zhang Yan like this: "The body is beautiful and plump, the face is like Guanyin, the eyes are like autumn waves, the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, and it is like a hibiscus out of the water; The hair is like spring clouds, the eyes are the same as autumn water, the mouth is like a cherry blossom, the nose is like a hanging gall, the teeth are fine, and there are eight out of thirty.

Plump and broad, Qianfu pleasant, white and long neck, round and straight shoulders, thick and flat back. Walking like a light cloud out of the distance, spitting sound like a white stone over a secluded spring. No hemorrhoids, no ulcers, no sunspot wounds. ”
