Chapter 853: The Beginning of Choosing a Concubine
"Come, Yin'er, try this sugar orange, this is the sugar orange that the Chamber of Commerce just pulled back from Lingxi by boat, I heard that it is the sweetest in the local area, all of them are the fruits of nearly 100-year-old trees, very sweet!"
In the palace, Zhao Jun peeled a sugar orange for his wife with his own hands, and handed it to his daughter-in-law to flatter.
Ye Yin angrily took the sugar orange and put it in her mouth.
It's really sweet, but it's still yin and yang: "Where does this palace dare to work Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you have to peel sugar oranges for this palace in person, if it spreads, the ministers will not be able to say that this palace is a!" ”
"Who? Who dares! My mother is so gentle and considerate, who dares to say that her mother is a fierce woman, and I will punish him for the nine clans! ”
Zhao Jun hurriedly expressed his position!
It looks like it's about to kill.
No wonder he wasn't so careful, who told him that the Lord was jealous right now.
A few days ago, when I went to the Empress Dowager Zhang's place to ask for peace, the Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly mentioned the problem of the thinness of the heirs of the heavenly family, and cited the first emperor and the first emperor as examples.
There are also four or five heirs of the two, and only one or two survived in the end, and the royal heirs are already few, which is easier to consume, and he now has a son, which is too thin for the royal family.
Immediately after talking, the spearhead turned to Ye Yin, saying that he can't be too domineering as a queen, and he wants His Majesty to be more rainy and dewy, and more of them are royal heirs, which is a major event inherited by the royal family, and he can't follow his own temperament.
As a result, his adoptive mother was going to choose a concubine for herself.
Ye Yin, who was dissed, was naturally unhappy, plus she had to choose a concubine for Zhao Jun, and she had been constantly yin and yang in the past few days, Zhao Jun was really enough by yin and yang, so he could only lower his body to please him.
On the side, where is Zhao Jian, while peeling the sugar orange by himself, he snickered while looking at his father and queen mother.
When Zhao Jun saw it, he directly snatched the sugar orange he peeled and handed it to his wife, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Children eat so many sweet ones and be careful to grow tooth decay, give them to your mother, she is an adult!" ”
Zhao Jian looked at the sugar orange that he had finally peeled and only had the bare skin left, and he was dumbfounded, and he reacted after staying for a while, and his eyes were instantly overflowing with tears.
And at this time, Ye Yin's tiger eyes glared at him in an instant!
"Crying? What to cry about! Your father is going to find you a few more mothers, and he wants to give you a few more brothers to rob you of things, and you don't have a sense of crisis yet, do you still want to cry? ”
Zhao Jian was instantly choked by the tears on his little face, but he was forcibly choked, looking very aggrieved.
Here, Zhao Jun suddenly said aggrievedly: "Yin'er, what you said, this is not what I want to choose a concubine, this is what the queen mother has to choose, where is my decision, and also, why do I have to give birth to a few sons to compete for the position with this stinky boy, you don't want to spew blood." ”
Ye Yin glared at him: "Why did I still wronged you?" ”
Zhao Jun whispered, "Isn't it?" ”
"Okay, you! After all, Hongu saw the wrong person. You're ......."
Looking at Ye Yin who was crying, Zhao Jun was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhao Jian who was still holding back and wanted to cry on the side, but he didn't dare to make a fire, he suddenly shifted his target, and kicked this stinky boy with one kick.
"What do you look at, stinky boy! Is today's homework done?
You're the crown prince, and you know all the time, when will I retire?
Why don't you go and study?! ”
Zhao Jian: "??? ”
(I'm only four years old!) You just want to retire, and you're too bad a father! Obviously, you were angry with Zhu Enen who came to me to vent your anger, and you said yourself so high-sounding!
I'm still a child! )
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm going to find the royal grandmother, woo woo woo woo ......"
Zhao Jian ran out of Kunning Palace crying.
Zhao Jun didn't care about him and continued to comfort his daughter-in-law.
At this time, outside the palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all excited because of the news of the selection of concubines.
Since the news came out in the palace three days ago that the Empress Dowager Zhang was going to choose a concubine for Her Majesty, the entire court was shaken, and the Ministry of Rites immediately prepared.
The household department selected the household registration and location of all school-age women in the world for the first time and sent them to the Ministry of Rites for reference.
No wonder they are so excited, but today's heirs are too thin, royal heirs have always been prone to early death, and it is too dangerous to have only one heir, which is an important issue related to the inheritance of the world.
The royal heirs are thin, and the people under them are also worried!
It's just that the emperor's harem has only one queen and a few concubines with three melons and two dates, and it is not even as many as some of their families, where do you want to think about it?
The final adult of the first emperor's three palaces and six courts was only four princes.
In the end, there is only the lone seedling in front of him, and there is only one crown prince at the moment, what if there is an accident?
Besides, there is only one crown prince, so wouldn't they just be able to watch Ye Wei, the martial artist, become the ruler of the country?
Seeing that His Majesty is a martial artist now, if the next emperor is still a martial artist, then how can they stand it?
As long as there are more princes, they can have a chance!
And let the royal heirs extend, which is also in line with the outline!
Who said they can't be uncles and uncles!
Brothers! Here's your chance to climb to the top! Why don't you catch it yet? Isn't it stupid!
To sum up, a group of officials were excited.
began to use all kinds of relationships, and sent the daughters, nieces, nieces, granddaughters and even granddaughters of the right age in his family to the selection list of the Ministry of Rites, and even used his connections to make his female dolls outstanding.
How could Zhang He, who was the prime minister, be indifferent to such a big event?
As soon as he received the news, he returned home and found his granddaughter Zhang Yuyan.
Zhangfu.
"Yu Yan, news has just come from the palace that the Queen Mother is going to choose a concubine for Your Majesty."
"Choose a concubine, choose a concubine, what does this have to do with a granddaughter......"
Zhang Yuyan, who was hammering Zhang He's back, suddenly paused in her casual answer, and the movements in her hands also stopped, realizing what her grandfather meant.
Zhang He put down the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly and said slowly:
"You are eighteen years old this year, you are all old girls, grandpa has found you so many young talents before, you can't look down on them, if you continue to pick like this, it will be really difficult to marry, and grandpa will not see you get married and have children.
Alas...... Grandpa is also old, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait many years. ”
"Grandpa! What are you talking about? Do you want to marry Yan'er so much? ”
Zhang Yuyan said angrily.
Zhang He sighed and said, "Grandpa doesn't know what you should do if I really leave in the future!"
This time, His Majesty happened to choose a concubine, if you are interested, with your grandfather's means and identity, one of the four concubines will definitely have your place.
If you don't want to, then decide as soon as possible which handsome family you want to marry, so that your grandfather can hug your great-grandson as soon as possible, and your grandfather will worry about it in the future.
While grandpa is still strong, he can help you and the couple. ”
"Grandpa~"
Zhang Yuyan still wanted to fool the past in a coquettish way, but Zhang He seemed to be iron-hearted this time, and he was not moved at all, just waiting for her to give an answer.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yuyan thought of the heroic man she saw at the New Year's banquet, and finally replied:
"The granddaughter is willing to enter the palace."
Zhang He slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Wait for grandpa to arrange it for you."
……
Not only Zhang He, but also many high-ranking officials and magnates have begun to exert their efforts in this concubine selection.
A concubine election has gradually evolved into a battlefield for all forces!
Whoever can send more of their own daughters into the palace, and how high these women can climb in the palace, then this force will be able to have more say in the court.
A lifeless gunpowder smoke began to fill the entire Bianjing City.
The Ministry of Rites, who originally thought it was a good thing, looked at the table full of letters of introduction and was dumbfounded!
