The draft is inevitable for an emperor of Pei Yao's age.

Not to mention that he is only thirty years old this year, even if he is sixty years old, there will be new people entering the palace.

However, it also depends on the emperor himself, as well as the number of princes in the palace.

Reasoning, there is no shortage of princes under Pei Yao's knees, except for the second princess and a daughter, the other four are princes.

But I always knew from the outside that the third prince and the fourth prince were all frail, especially the third prince, who had nightmares and convulsions, and was like a thin cat.

So in this way, there are still few princes under Pei Yao's knees who can be trained well for the future.

The most important thing is that Pei Yao is young.

It stands to reason that the draft will be held after the national funeral, isn't it just that there is another war, and it has been delayed again.

In terms of rules, if you don't choose it now, you can't talk about it.

However, Pei Yao also has a hard time, not to mention whether he wants a new concubine, just say that the treasury is not abundant, he doesn't want to choose.

Although as a victorious country, Daqi has received a lot of compensation from the Shangyang Kingdom, but it is still not enough.

Therefore, after some deliberation between the DPRK and China, a compromise method was chosen.

The selection is to be selected, but not to be selected, only to make small selections, and the number of women participating in the draft will be reduced to one-third of the rules.

This can be regarded as a lot of savings.

When the news reached the harem, they were naturally unhappy.

But the rules are like this, and it's not something that the concubines can intervene in.

Everyone can only wait for the newcomer to enter the palace.

But this is on the surface, and secretly, they also have their own thoughts.

Needless to say, Concubine Yang was already planning to arrange for the women in her family to enter the palace.

The queen is here, because Pei Yao mentioned it before, so she has always followed Pei Yao's wind direction.

The other party lost his previous politeness, and his attitude towards Concubine Yang eased a little.

And Fang Yu also lost his previous favor, Pei Yao now goes to Zhongcui Palace most often, but Concubine Yang can't sleep because of her health, so she can only push people to Yun Qian.

However, Pei Yao really didn't think much of Yun Qian, but because he had to play with the Yang family, he also went there a few times.

In addition to Zhong Cui Palace, it is He Lingyi and Wan Lingyi.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, in this month, on the bright side, He Lingyi has served the most.

Pei Yao couldn't say anything strange, but if he didn't go to He Lingyi Palace, he didn't want to go, but if he went, he faintly had the idea of staying.

Of course, He Lingyi didn't forget Lin Chan's request.

Mentioned it twice openly and secretly.

After all, He Lingyi still wants what Lin Chan gave her.

There is a dark tide surging in the harem, and the former dynasty is also secretly changing.

Because of Fang Yu's fall from grace, Liu Qin's situation does not seem to be very good.

He had already taken a leave of absence to rest at home for a month because of his injury, and during this month, someone in Dali Temple temporarily took his place to work.

This also leads to Liu Qin's current redundancy in the Criminal Department.

Coincidentally, there was a case of officials colluding with mountain bandits to oppress the people in Anlu Mansion, which is adjacent to Kyoto, and Pei Yao sent Liu Qin away.

Ye Yunxiao was also sent, saying that he was to assist in suppressing the bandits.

Everyone saw that this was about the emperor who still had Concubine Zhao in his heart, so he gave Liu Qin a chance.

Now that the case has been investigated, it is another way to be promoted.

As a result, half of the people who opposed Yang Chengyu in the Kyoto court were sent out.

Fang Yu didn't have the support of his mother's family, Liu Qin was not there, Huo Mingxuan, who was good friends with Liu Qin, was in the frontier, and Ye Yunxiao was sent out with him.

The queen's mother, the Lu family, intended to suppress it, but the Lu family was a civil official, and Yang Chengyu worked in Kyoto Wei, and he was regarded as a military general, and the two sides did not have much intersection.

The only person who can contain some Yang Chengyu is the same military general, Wan Lingyi's brother, and the governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, Hu Daixu.

However, compared to Concubine Yang, Wan Lingyi was even more disgusted with Fang Yu, who had been favored by the emperor for many years.

So when she saw that the wind in the harem seemed to have changed, she sent a message to her family, asking her brother not to participate in the suppression of Concubine Yang's mother's family.

What about the queen, Wan Lingyi doesn't care, she feels that she can't be the queen, and the queen can't be favored, she doesn't care.

But in Wan Lingyi's heart, if Fang Yu is not defeated for a day, she will have no chance to get ahead.

In the harem, no matter how prominent Concubine Yang is, she is the same as the queen, relying on her mother's family to support her, and the emperor is not sincere, Concubine Jin and Song Lingyi have been out of favor for a long time, He Lingyi is stupid and easy to deal with, Concubine Yan is a foreign race, the emperor has not been favored so far, and he must not want to touch it.

There is also a Yuncai girl, who is not a serious concubine in Wan Lingyi's heart, and she can be crushed to death with her hands.

So, as long as Concubine Zhao falls, as long as Concubine Zhao falls, she will definitely have a chance!

And Hu Daixu naturally felt that his sister, who was on the emperor's side, could better understand the king's thoughts, so he did it silently.

After all, he also thought that Concubine Zhao was born as the daughter of a criminal minister, and when the emperor favored him, he didn't feel it, but once he was disgusted, he would have to double his disgust.

It should not be wrong not to participate at this moment, or to get closer to the Yang family temporarily.

In short, the capital and the harem in the past two months have been full of dark clouds.

But under the undercurrent, Concubine Zhao, who was about to completely fall out of favor in everyone's mouth, was lying in the arms of the young emperor, allowing him to play with his hair.

"Liu Qin came back with a secret letter, and now there has been great progress, and there are new discoveries, Nanning Houfu is really bold."

"Could it be that they have any other actions besides the previous conjecture?"

Fang Yu raised his eyes, his eyebrows frowning slightly.

"Hmm." When Pei Yao nodded, there was a faint murderous intent in his eyes, "Nanning Houfu has raised private soldiers, no less than three thousand. ”

"Three thousand?!"

Fang Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

According to the law of Daqi, the prince's mansion can only raise 300 private soldiers, and the Hou Mansion can only have 100 private soldiers according to the rules.

Most of the intensively cultivated private soldiers can be five enemies in one battle, and the more sophisticated ones can also be ten in one block.

Therefore, this is not less than 3,000 elite soldiers, but it is really not a small number.

"Yes, there are more than 3,000 elite soldiers privately raised, he still has Huizhou military power in his hands in Nanning Houfu, and Yang Chengyu is appointed in Kyoto Weizhong, such a person is ambitious, how can I tolerate it."

Stroking Fang Yu's hair, Pei Yao's tone became more and more cold.

"Now that Liu Qin and Lord Ye have secretly investigated, and there is progress, and the emperor's secret guards are helping, I think we will have the evidence soon." Fang Yu comforted softly, and said at the end, "Look, Concubine Yang is very energetic in the harem now, if it weren't for her poor health, I'm afraid she would be proud." ”

Hearing her say this, Pei Yao exhaled a long breath, then took Fang Yu into his arms and kissed her eyebrows gently.

"I've wronged you, it's almost over, this year, I must have eradicated this tumor."

It's already the beginning of August, and there are still four months to go.

Fang Yu stretched out his hand to hold his face, his gaze gentle.

"The concubine believes in the emperor."

Looking at the gentle woman in front of him, Pei Yao's guilt was even stronger, and he hugged people tighter for a while.

But unexpectedly, the next day, another news exploded in the harem.

Yuncai is a woman who is a month pregnant.
