Yuan Kang stroked his beard and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Silent for a long time,

Yuan Kang slowly spoke: "Driving the guards, inspecting and arresting, and supervising hundreds of officials, Your Majesty is really a good means." ”

"In this way, the Jinyi Guard has completely become the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and every move in the city cannot escape His Majesty's eyes, maybe everything we have done now has been presented in front of His Majesty."

"Maybe we all misunderstood, Your Majesty is using lust as a cover, ostensibly indulging in women's sex, and these days may be in the palace, planning the affairs of Jinyiwei."

"Your Majesty may not be the Lord of Mediocre, as we think."

Yuan Kang calmed his face and explained his analysis.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke: "But if this is the case, why did Your Majesty cede Changlin Pass." ”

"Changlin Pass is the barrier of Daqi, how can such a military important place be ceded to other countries at will, is Lord Yuan too worried?"

Yuan Kang's brows, which had just stretched, furrowed again.

"It really doesn't make sense."

"Could it be that Your Majesty has something to do?"

"Or, maybe I really misunderstood, Your Majesty set up the Jinyi Guard just to worry about us and others doing something unfavorable behind our backs."

A group of people gathered around,

After analyzing for a long time, I couldn't guess the reason why Han Lin did this.

It seems that only the word mediocrity can explain the past.

But because of the establishment of the Jinyi Guard, they didn't dare to blatantly say mediocre words.

The feast was soon over,

And they departed one after another.

On the other side,

Yefu.

Ye Qingqiu also sat opposite Ye Jinglong.

Today's news from the palace, Ye Qingqiu naturally knew about it.

The moment he got the news, Ye Qingqiu found his father.

The early dynasty was canceled, and the national concubine was elected.

Things turned out exactly as I remembered.

This faint king has only been on the throne for a few days, and his true nature has been completely exposed.

Such a thing is naturally a great thing for Ye Qingqiu.

What she wants to see most now is that Han Lin continues to do all kinds of ridiculous things, betraying her relatives.

When the time comes,

That's when she started her army.

But for Ye Jinglong, what Han Lin did was tantamount to sprinkling salt on his wounds.

I have dedicated my life to the cause of reviving Daqi.

As a result, at the end of the day,

But there was such a faint monarch in the Qi country.

Ye Jinglong was silent for a long time, his face full of expressions of loss and distress.

Sighing,

Ye Jinglong opened his mouth and said, "Qingqiu, do you say that my life is worth it?" ”

"Father, you have done too much for the Qi country, it is this Qi country that is not worthy, it is the faint king who is not worthy!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Jinglong suddenly shouted: "He is a king, we are ministers, do you want to rebel?!" ”

"Father, he has completely fallen into the gentle country of women, is there anything wrong with me saying that he is a faint king? Do you have any hope for him? Ye Qingqiu's tone of voice was also a little anxious.

Ye Jinglong scolded: "I said it, you are not allowed to say such things in the future, at least within this year." ”

Ye Qingqiu knew his father's temperament.

I also know my father's feelings for Qi Guo in his heart.

Looking at his attitude, he didn't continue to dwell on it.

had to respond perfunctorily.

.......

In the entire Qi country, there are countless wealthy merchants.

Especially Linzi City.

As the capital of the Qi State.

There are many chambers of commerce, and the prosperity can be ranked in the world.

But among them, the most powerful are the Zhen family, the Chen family, the Mi family, and the Wei family.

These four major merchant families, who have been in business for generations, can be described as rich and rival the country.

At this moment,

Zhen family.

An old man looked at his daughter in front of him and said earnestly: "Daughter, you should know the news from the palace." ”

"Your Majesty wants to choose a concubine from all over the country, I want to send you to the palace to serve Your Majesty, I don't know what you think about your daughter."

The person who spoke was named Zhen Dao, the current head of the Zhen family.

In front of him,

A young girl bit her lip lightly, and a pair of white and tender little hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.

There was a twinkle of struggle in his eyes.

Truth be told,

She definitely didn't want to enter the palace.

Once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea.

Not to mention entering the palace.

But she also knew that if she could be favored by the emperor, the entire Zhen family would be able to gain huge benefits because of her.

And she didn't want to see her father disappointed.

After a short struggle, the girl said slowly: "It's all up to my father." ”

Get a reply,

Zhen Dao smiled with satisfaction.

Although the major courtiers were full of disdain and contempt for Han Lin's approach.

Even in private, he said all kinds of faint words.

But for a merchant family,

If someone can really enter the palace, then it will directly become a pheasant and a phoenix.

The whole family can go to the next level.

Now that great opportunities are in front of us,

Of course they have to fight for it.

Such a scene,

It's not just in the Zhen family.

Even the Chen family, the Wei family, and the Mi family, including other small families and Hanmen, are all thinking about how to make His Majesty take a fancy to their daughters.

........

"Lao Zhang, why are you here too?"

"My daughter is as beautiful as a flower, of course I'm coming, if I am chosen, then my old Zhang family will be developed, and the family tree will start writing from me in the future!"

"Pull it down, it's not me who hit you, let's go home like your daughter, don't humiliate yourself."

"Made, is your daughter pretty? The big face plate is bigger than my millstone, and the face is full of pockmarks, Your Majesty can't look down on your daughter even if you're blind. ”

"You're looking for death, aren't you, clean your mouth for me!"

"You should be scared, I'm afraid you won't make it!"

"Silence! Be honest with me, whoever dares to make trouble here will be disqualified! ”

.......

"Lao Zhou, why are you so unkind, yesterday you were shouting in a faint voice, and today you brought your daughter over?"

"Ahem! Where did I say such a thing, Your Majesty is a wise man through the ages, don't slander me here. ”

"Damn, why haven't I seen you so thick-skinned before, yesterday you were still shouting faintly, and today you will become Mingjun? But then again, your daughter's appearance may really have a chance. ”

"That's not it, in the past two years, the matchmakers have almost stepped on the threshold of my family, just my daughter, who is sinking into the fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, it is not simple to enter the palace."

"How can I give you a little sunshine and it will be bright, and it will be the number one in our village, what is it when you look at Qi Guo, the young lady of Master Zhen's family is called beautiful."

Linzi as the capital of Qi State,

The news that Han Lin was going to choose a concubine was not only the fastest to convey, but also the first place where it was officially implemented.

The day after the announcement,

There is already a long queue at the registration desk.

Anyone who has a school-age woman in the family brings their daughters to line up to sign up.

Looking forward to his family being able to rely on his daughter to leap into the dragon gate.

However, although there are many people who sign up, not even one percent can be selected in the end.

And this is only the primary.

Later, there will be a more detailed screening.

After all, this is to choose a concubine for the emperor, and appearance is only the most basic criterion.

Besides

The requirements also include stature, skill, etiquette, and so on.

In fact, there was an age requirement at the beginning.

Must be a woman between the ages of 13 and 16.

But at this age,

Han Lin really couldn't raise his interest.

Placed in ancient times, it may be appropriate.

But for Han Lin, it was too small.

I didn't know my sister was good when I was young, and I mistook Lori for a treasure.

According to Han Lin's thoughts, it is down to eighteen years old, up to thirty-six years old, highlighting a relaxed condition.

In the end, under the strong persuasion of Gonggong Wei,

It was changed to eighteen to twenty-four years old.

And not to be born.

This has given countless civilians the opportunity to sign up.

Otherwise, only those with relatively good backgrounds will be screened.
