When Wang Luo released the news of the election of the crown princess, not only the noble family, but also other noble families also stirred.

This is a great opportunity to climb to the sky, and no family wants to miss it. Regarding the candidate for the crown princess, Wang Luo actually has a plan in his heart.

At the same time, in addition to the crown princess, there are two side concubines and four Tengren. If it is not enough, it can be further increased.

Since ancient times, marriage has been a bond of quick alliance and mutual trust.

Wang Luo is not worried about the strength of the prince's father-in-law and whether it will affect national politics in the future, and the power of the royal family is very strong in the Daqian court. I don't worry at all that these people have used the identity of the ruler to lean into the government or replace them.

First of all, Yu Linwei, who is directly controlled by the Daqian royal family, can crush those nobles to death.

With the domination of the world by the Daqian Dynasty, the Daqian had more money and food, so the number of Yulinwei was expanded, from 10,000 to 30,000.

In addition to 10,000 of the 30,000 elites stationed in Luoyang, the remaining 20,000 troops were stationed on the border in rotation.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Wang Luo specially prepared an army rotation system. The standing army of the Daqian Dynasty would take turns to guard the border. This not only ensures the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also allows the soldiers of the army to have time to rest.

At the same time, the most important thing is that the rotation of the army can reduce the control of senior generals over the army. Without control, even if these generals want to rebel, there are very few troops who pull out to rebel.

On the other hand, these troops took turns to go to Luoyang to defend, and Wang Luo would find time to go to the barracks every day, which could be said to be something that could not be shaken.

Many people think that the emperor is idle and has nothing to do, what do you do when you go to see that group of big-headed soldiers every day? But Wang Luo never paid attention to it.

Patrolling the army in Beijing every day, this is to grasp the military power, the emperor does not hold the knife, does he let others grab and stab himself twice?

Wu Qi shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and the rewards and punishments were clear, so the soldiers used their lives to dominate the world and be invincible. You don't even have the idea of meeting those big-headed soldiers, so you expect a group of soldiers who have never even met to be willing to die for you?

Those soldiers were also individuals, with their own ideas.

These soldiers have seen you, and even you have spoken to them, and you know that you have given them money, food, and land, will these soldiers not be loyal to you?

In fact, Wang Luo, as the founding king, can not go at all, and can make the army loyal just by relying on extremely high prestige, but his descendants cannot, he is doing this completely to set an example for the descendants who follow.

As the founder of the country, he understands the importance of the knife handle too well. As long as you hold this knife handle tightly, the throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Wang Yun went to the homes of several nobles in a row before returning to the palace to resume his life.

"Your Majesty, the second generation of the Xu family is not a weapon, but the third generation is not bad, and when Xu Chao dies, the Marquis of Wucheng Mansion will only be left with the influence of relatives and friends, and its own strength has plummeted, but the third generation has become a weapon, so it can just be used as the prince's team."

Wang Luo nodded: "The third brother bothered!" ”

Wang Yun said: "Several other families can also help the prince, Your Majesty might as well take a look." ”

Wang Luoyou looked at the other two, these two are also high-class nobles, one is average in war, but good at governing the people, and the other is not strong in personal ability, but he can talk to every nobleman and can help the emperor win over these people.

Wang Luo was quite satisfied with such an arrangement, so he asked the queen to hold a banquet and summon the wives and daughters of various families to the palace to participate.

Within a few days, the queen held a peony flower party on the grounds that the peonies were in full bloom in the forest garden, and invited the nobles of Beijing to come and play.

The families in the capital immediately understood what the queen meant, and hurriedly ordered the lady to take her daughter to participate.

After the flower party is over, the queen will discuss with Wang Luo which girl she thinks is good.

"Which girl does Zitong think is suitable?"

"Zhang's daughter-in-law is good, so can Xu's daughter-in-law." The queen said with a smile.

"What are the personalities of the two?" Wang Luo asked.

The queen said: "The Zhang woman is smart and active, the ice and snow are smart, and the Xu woman is stable and generous, generous, and has a gentle personality. ”

Wang Luo thought for a while and said: "What does it look like, the crown princess is the future queen, if it is too ordinary, how can she be the mother of the world?" ”

The queen said: "She looks very handsome, and she is a rare beauty." ”

"Then choose the Xu daughter, steady and dignified, and generous, so that the mother can be the world, and the Zhang daughter will be the side concubine." Wang Luo said.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful!"

Wang Luo and the empress were very fast, and a decree was passed down from Shangyang Palace that night and came to the General's Mansion. The house was immediately filled with jubilation. The entire Great General's Mansion is more lively than the New Year.

Soon, the news that Marquis Wu Chenghou's concubine was selected as the crown princess spread throughout Luoyang City, and the news that Zhang's daughter became a side concubine also spread.

This made the nobles very happy.

After the establishment of the Great Qian, the hereditary system of the noble and noble families has been completely broken. This is also why those nobles and nobles are keen on the idea of marriage.

They want to maintain their titles through this intertwined relationship, especially after Wang Luo revoked the feudal state, only after Shiyi.

Xu Chao was also relieved after seeing the will, but he also understood that being able to marry the royal family was an opportunity and a crisis.

Since Bang Zhou, how many relatives have not died well, but the history books remember clearly, if you are not cautious and arrogant, you don't know how to die when the time comes.

Immediately, Xu Chao called his son over.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Xu Cuo said respectfully.

Xu Chao nodded slightly and said, "There are some things that need to be explained to you this time." ”

"Father, please speak."

"Yan'er is going to be the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, but you have to remember that you must keep a low profile, and the children in the family are not allowed to be traitors, otherwise you will invite trouble for my Xu family."

"It's the father." Xu Cuo nodded and agreed.

"After Yan'er becomes the crown princess, I will go to the book to resign from all positions and go home to recuperate."

"Ah, why is that?" Xu Cuo was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Xu Chao said with a slight eye: "I'm old, it's time to retire, and you can only rely on yourself in the future." ”

"But Your Majesty.?"

"Shut up!" Xu Chao's face changed, and he scolded fiercely: "Do you want to kill the Xu family?" ”

"Your father and I are seventy and two this year, how many years do we have to live? His Majesty wants me to serve for another two years, but I don't want to. ”

"You are not qualified enough, just barely maintain the family without falling, don't expect anything else, but your son is not bad, just remember to let him follow the prince." After speaking, he closed his eyes and waved his hand to let his son leave.
