Chapter 222: Marriage

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

School-age women from all over Daqian began to enter the palace one after another to be show girls.

And Liu Yu was directly pressed by Queen Lu to Renshou Palace, choosing concubines every day.

I chose and chosen, and I was elected for seven days in a row.

In the end, three suitable ones were singled out.

They are the daughter of Huang Li, the secretary of the household department: Huang Li, the daughter of Ma Rulong, the secretary of the military department: Ma Xiaotong, and the daughter of Zhou Bingzheng, the secretary of the ministry, Zhou Zhirou.

These three are all daughters of the Six Shangshu.

It stands to reason that the six books are only the second grade. Among the nobles and civil officials, there are many people who hold higher official positions than them.

For example, the daughters of Lin Han and Zhang Zifang are naturally more suitable than the daughters of the six Shangshu.

The daughters of several princes and princes are even more well-matched.

But Empress Lu only chose three daughters of the six Shangshu.

That's where its shrewdness comes in.

There are two advantages to this choice: First, people in the world cannot gossip.

Empress Lu chose a daughter of the prince of the country for King Jing, but only chose the daughter of six Shangshu for her son, so she can't say that she is biased, right?

Second, the official positions of the six Shangshu do not seem to be very high, but among the civil officials, there are only a few cabinet elders who can overpower them.

But if you really want to talk about real power, I am afraid that the power of the cabinet elders to vote is not comparable to the six books.

The most important thing is that Liu Yu is now in a critical period of winning the heir.

And what he lacks the most is the help from the six departments.

On the honorable side, there are two families, Zhang and Li, who have completely gained a firm foothold.

It doesn't make much sense to choose a higher status prince or even the daughter of a prince to marry.

On the contrary, if you can get the full support of any of the three departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, it will be of great significance!

After all, the Shangshu Zhong Prison of the Criminal Department has already expressed his position, and he is already the prince's person.

Now one more department is equivalent to two of the six.

The remaining four departments, even if there are some Liu Jing's eyeliner, but under the general trend, it is self-evident how to choose.

Over time, the balance of victory will definitely tilt in favor of Liu Yu.

Therefore, when Li Changkong heard about the identities of the three selected show girls, he couldn't help but clap his hands and admire Queen Lu's wisdom.

It's no wonder that Empress Lu can occupy such an important position in Emperor Jingxing's heart, this hand alone is extraordinary enough.

None of the benefits that should be taken are missing, but they block the mouths of people all over the world, and they can't hear half of it.

In the end, under the multi-faceted analysis of Li Changkong, Princess Huaiqing, Empress Lu, and Liu Yu's own, Zhou Zhirou, the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, was finally selected as the concubine.

There are also two reasons: one is Zhou Zhirou's background, and standing behind her is Zhou Bingzheng, the secretary of the ministry, and the ministry is the head of the six ministries, both in terms of real power and symbolic meaning, far exceeding the other five.

The second is Zhou Zhirou, who looks speechless, has an outstanding appearance, and has a dignified temperament, and has the demeanor of everyone's ladies.

Good temper, quiet, gentle, considerate, even speech and demeanor, but also very generous.

From his body, he can't see the slightest bit of the brutality and willfulness of the ladies of large families.

It can be seen that Zhou Bingzheng taught his daughter very well and has a very positive family style.

In comparison, Huang Li and Ma Xiaotong are much inferior.

The appearance of the second daughter is also outstanding, but her temperament and bearing are still a little worse after all.

After choosing the crown princess, the rest is naturally married!

And Li Changkong and others are waiting for this moment.

Because at the beginning, in order to have a happy celebration, Emperor Jing Xing's marriage of the crown prince Liu Yu and the marriage of King Jing Liu Jing were held on the same day!

When getting married, whether it is crossing the brazier or worshipping husband and wife, there is bound to be some physical contact.

If Liu Jing really has a problem, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide it well in front of so many people at the scene.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

The day when the prince Liu Yu got married has finally arrived!

As good brothers, Li Changkong, Zhang Han, Zhu Ben and Jia Taisui must be present.

And Liu Yu is the crown prince, and there are naturally no civil and military officials.

This led to the scene of this marriage, which is very huge.

Li Changkong and others did not participate in the process of getting married.

They had just been waiting in the East Palace, and it was about noon that the procession to pick up their relatives could return.

Liu Yu carried Zhou Zhirou on his back and took the lead in stepping over the brazier.

followed by Liu Jing, under the gaze of so many people at the scene, there was not the slightest nervousness, and he generously carried Liu Yan across the brazier.

Seeing this scene, Li Changkong and Zhang Han frowned at the same time.

Could it be that the message given by Li Jibei is wrong?

But why?

He came all the way from Bashan, Shuzhou, and at that time he could kill people or not, just to pass on a false news.

This... How idle does this person have to be to do such a thing?

Li Changkong's brows furrowed even tighter, feeling that something was wrong, but he was still inclined to say the truth when Li Jibei was telling the truth.

So his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and he looked more and more carefully.

After stepping over the brazier, Liu Jing also took Liu Yan's hand generously and walked to Emperor Jingxing and Empress Lu.

Later, together with the crown prince Liu Yu, they carried out the process of worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall second, and worshipping each other by three husbands and wives.

The whole process seems extremely natural, not to mention being afraid of women, I am afraid that ordinary people will definitely feel that Liu Jing and Liu Yan are a very loving pair when they see it.

"How so?" Zhang Han patted Li Changkong's shoulder and wondered, "Lao Li, it seems that we have been tricked?" ”

When Li Changkong heard this, his eyes were slightly bright, the corners of his mouth were lightly outlined, he shook his head, and said, "That's not necessarily." ”

"Have you seen Liu Jing?"

When Zhang Han heard this, he bowed his head and said: "I have seen it a few times from afar, but as for close contact, there is really no one." ”

"I've seen it, he once set up a Hongmen banquet and specially invited me over."

"He was then, and he is now, performing... It's a little different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Temperament, the Liu Jing I saw before, majestic, lonely, and not approachable. Liu Jing in front of him is some... Enthusiasm is excessive. ”

"After all, today is his big day, and it is Your Majesty and the Queen Mother in person, pretending to be enthusiastic, I'm afraid it's understandable, right?" Zhang Han felt that Li Changkong had taken it for granted.

"No, there's another suspicion!"

"Do you remember Chen Shi who has been beheaded?"

"Remember, didn't you say it was a fake?"

"It's really fake, but why does he look exactly like Chen Shi, have you considered this?"

"Twin brothers, perhaps?"

Hearing this, Li Changkong shook his head and said, "I once specially entrusted Zhong Jian to bring Chen Zhi's head to me after he was beheaded. ”

"But guess what the Prison says? He said that after Chen Zhi's head was beheaded, it seemed to have disappeared, and even he, the secretary of the criminal department, couldn't find out where he was. ”

"What does that mean?" Zhang Han's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

This shows that there is something wrong with the fake Chen's head! Perhaps, he and Zhen Chen Zhi don't look the same at all, but he has a human skin mask pasted on his face! ”

"Lao Li, don't laugh. Where in the world is there such a similar human skin mask, which can be hidden from the people of the world in full view? Also including veterans of the Criminal Department like Zhong Prison? Zhang Han laughed dumbly, he thought that Li Changkong could say something amazing, but he didn't expect it to be such a joke.
