The eight-year-old emperor should have a queen and a concubine, otherwise there is no prince, how can he come to Longqing's thousands of generations of inheritance, Jiangshan Sheji. But Longqing didn't have an empress dowager to worry about the emperor's marriage, so what kind of person should the queen of the future mother choose in the world can only fall on the regent and a group of ministers in the court. Shi Guo said that Longqing Xinli should choose a beautiful and virtuous girl among the juniors of the important minister's family to be the queen, so as not to find outsiders and lose the good country. Jiao Yi echoed and said that he would find one among the peonies and snow plums. This sister grew up side by side with the emperor and had a good relationship. But Zhong Lei didn't want to do this, saying that the emperor and the peony sisters were like brothers and sisters, but they never did anything like children. Shen Zhongzhu moved out of the Duan clan of the old Dali country, saying that the influence and power of the Duan clan in the territory of the old Dali are still there, and if he can marry with the Duan clan, he will be able to stabilize the foundation of Longqing for generations to come. But Lei Long advocated a draft within the scope of Longqing, getting hundreds of beautiful girls into the palace, training etiquette to serve the emperor, and finally the emperor chose who was the queen.

The result is that there are different opinions, and there is no queen standard and draft after seven or eight days. In desperation, the ministers could only ask the regent to go to the emperor, and the emperor would decide his marriage, but he must choose a virtuous and beautiful girl to complete the marriage within the year.

After listening to Zhong Lei's reasoning about marrying the queen and concubine, Tianxiao realized that it was time for him to marry a wife and have children, so he confessed that he had three and a half jade girls in his heart. One is the county lord of Danying, the other is Jasper, half is the sister Fei'er he met at the Chengying Mansion Inn, half is the daughter of Meng Yue, the owner of Suzhou Xiaomengzhuang, Jianmei, and half is naturally a Portuguese princess. William's daughter, Deacy.

The county lord Dan Ying and Biyu, Zhong Lei both knew that the little prince at that time had privately engaged with these two jade girls in the Yunxiao Hall of Tianbo Mansion. The exotic beautiful girl Di Xi was also a big matchmaker between him and the then Governor of Macau, but she was busy with big things in recent years and didn't care about it for a while. But I don't know who Sister Fei'er and Jian Mei are, and I have never heard the emperor mention these two girls, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the lord of Danying is in the Daming Palace, and I can't find it for a while." And that jasper is Yue Xiaoxuan's niece. The ministers immediately sent people to Pukou Castle. Presumably easy to find. As for that Dixi, she often goes to several cities in Lianzhou with William to buy goods, and she has been to Dali a few months ago, so she shouldn't be able to run. It's just that the minister is a little curious. Why is the Sister Fei'er and Jian Mei you mentioned also counted as half? Who are they?" Tian Xiao smiled. recalled the scene back then, and said: "In my feeling, this Sister Fei'er should be a virtuous person. is both reasonable and knowledgeable, and now it's time to grow into a stunner. She is as old as me, and an eighteen-year-old girl is afraid that she has already become a good wife and mother to others. Besides, I don't know what her surname is, where she is, I don't know anything. Even if she is not married yet, but in this vast sea of people, where should I go to find her?" There was some sadness and pity between these words, and he sighed for a long time, and then said: "Jian Mei should be easier to find, she is the little granddaughter of Xiaoyao Mother-in-law, who lives in Xiaomengzhuang outside Suzhou, her father is Baiyun Chasing the Moon Meng Yue, and her mother is the blue wave fairy Jin Feng. Bibo Fairy Zhong Lei didn't know, but Mother-in-law Xiaoyao and Baiyun Chasing the Moon Mother and Son, he not only knew but also knew each other, so he smiled and said: "It turns out that Jian Mei is from the old Meng family, so this matter will be easy to do." The minister will send two people today, one will rush to Pukou Yuefu to pick up Jasper, and the other will go to Mengjiawan to pick up Jianmei, and the emperor will wait to be the groom. Tianxiao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, please tell the important ministers of the court, just say that for the sake of Longqing's eternal country, I will get married and be crowned queen within the year." But whether the queen is one of Jasper or Jianmei, or Sister Fei'er, even I don't know. But the matter of the concubine let the ministers talk about it slowly. In terms of the queen and concubine, I have my own standards and requirements, and I will not marry any of them. First, we must be able to sympathize with the people and the world, second, we must be able to do kung fu, and third, we must be beautiful. He said this because he was afraid that some ministers would make a fuss about their marriages and seek personal gains, and form a party for personal gain and ruin Longqing. And the county lord of Danying, Jasper, and Jian Mei not only know kung fu, but they have been born well since they were children, so they must be stunners when they grow up. He has also seen Dixi's Western swordsmanship, and the one he is most worried about is Sister Fei'er, does she know kung fu?

Zhong Lei felt the emperor's love and nostalgia for the "Sister Fei'er", so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister will find a painter tomorrow to depict the appearance and appearance of your sister Fei'er eight years ago, and the minister wants to send people to find it in Longqing and Daming." Tianxiao sighed again and nodded: "Then there is Lao Zhongbo." By the way, I have been thinking for the past few days that since Longqing has been decided, it is time to take the initiative to express its friendship to its neighbors, and I can send envoys to the North Vietnamese, Laos, Siam, Burma, Mughals, Nepal, Yarkand, and Tatar Turks. If Yijun is no longer forced to force each other, I Longqing can no longer seize the cities and seas of the Ming Dynasty, and get along with the Ming Dynasty. Once there is a war, it is the people who suffer, so let it be spared. Unexpectedly, what the emperor thought about was more far-reaching than the ministers of the court, Zhong Lei was deeply pleased, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the envoys sent to other countries, the ministers will discuss it with the ministers tomorrow, and they will do their best to implement it." And getting along with Daming, if there is no longer a life-and-death battle, Yijun will not negotiate peace with the emperor. According to the report of Tanma, the Ming Dynasty has recently been going to Zhaoqing, Pingle, Guilin, Tongren, Sinan, Chongqing, and Chengdu to increase troops, transfer grain and grass, and there are signs of capturing our Longqing. Tianxiao sighed lightly when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Dexi to take Bai Zizong, Fan Feng, and Shi Guo's "Longqing Town Territory Map" on the ground, let Jixiang Ruyi light the oil lamp, beckoned Zhong Lei to come and see, and said: "I am not afraid of war, Longqing soldiers and horses can fight habitually, and Yijun can't take advantage of me." It's just that what worries me is that although Longqing is a big country, he has little food. Like Wanqiangtang, Kunlun Mountain, Mobili Chiba Mountain, to Yongning Mansion, this large piece of land, almost occupies most of the territory of Longqing, but it is a place that does not produce grain. Once the war with the Ming Dynasty starts, the grain in the country will be requisitioned and transported to the border gates, and the people of Longqing will starve again. After sighing lightly, Zhong Lei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor has sent people to Daming to purchase grain, cattle and sheep, and they will be transported back to Longqing in a few days." It's just that the minister is worried that if the war drags on for a long time, this food will definitely not be available, what should I do when the time comes?" Tianxiao listened and said to himself: "Yes, if this is the case, then what should I do? I can't watch the people starve to death." Then he sighed again, waved his hand at Zhong Lei and said, "Go ahead, Uncle Zhong, let me see on this "Longqing Town Territory Map" alone, how to conjure food." ”

To the surprise of the ministers of Longqing, they were relieved, and unexpectedly, the emperor also knew how to pay private interviews with the people, and suddenly said that he wanted to leave the palace to observe the people's feelings, and see what the people of Longqing lacked, or what they were thinking. He also wants to ask the people, if the Ming Dynasty pours all the strength of the whole country to attack my Longqing, what will happen to the people. He handed over the major affairs of the court to the regent Zhong Lei, the left prime minister Jiao Yi, the right prime minister Shi Guo, the soldiers and horses of the capital Lei Long, the Dingguo Duke Feng Li, the protector of the country Bai Zizong, the shoulder-to-shoulder king Shen Zhongzhu, the king of Pingxi Yan Zheng, and the loyal general Luo Huo, the nine important ministers, took off their dragon robes and changed into brocade clothes, dressed like the sons and daughters in a big mansion, took Li Fei and the Fei family brothers and sisters out of the palace, and embarked on the journey of the Longqing Emperor's private visit.

At first, Tianxiao only walked around Dali City to visit, and rarely went to the restaurant, eating and drinking at the roadside stalls, chatting with the people in the past, and asking about their daily livelihoods. When he heard that the people could be guaranteed three meals and live and work in peace and contentment, he was very happy. Whenever the people said the words "I'd rather be a ghost of Longqing than a Ming person", he felt very proud. But when the people all said that "Longqing has a good emperor who loves the people like a son and is sympathetic to the people", he will smile and say: "The emperor should be sympathetic to the people, and it is not worthy of praise." And the people can live and work in peace and contentment to pay taxes and silver, which is the basis of Longqing's prosperity and prosperity. ”

On this day, Li Fei was greedy, saying that he wanted to go to the restaurant to drink an urn of wine to get back into his addiction, and the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family had not smelled the fragrance of wine for many days, so they echoed on the side, Tianxiao shook his head and smiled: "Look at you guys, you have been hungry like this for just over a month after leaving the palace." Well, if you want to drink, let you drink well, so as not to say behind my back that I am not. Walk around, find a restaurant or restaurant opposite the inn, and go to sleep when you get drunk. He said "yes" empty-handedly, and led the way. After two alleys, I found a restaurant on the main street of Dali Mansion that happened to be an inn opposite. "That's it. Tianxiao said, entered the restaurant and saw that the twelve or thirteen tables below had occupied eight or nine, so he stepped on the stairs and walked up. But when I got to the top, I saw that the fifteen tables were full, so I had to go back downstairs and sit down at random tables. "Dude. Miao called empty-handed, who expected that the guy in this store had already arrived in front of him, Li Fei muttered in surprise: "I can't understand such a light work but I am a buddy here." The guy smiled at Li Fei and asked, "How many people, what do you want to drink?" Seeing that the sky was silent, the ghost-faced beast said: "If there are two urns of fifty-year-old Tori incense." Thirty-year-old daughter Red also came to two urns. Vegetables, fat ducks, tender chickens, strong geese, beef and mutton 20 catties each. For the rest of the appetizers, you can watch them yourself, and you can have four or five plates. The guy sang, "Okay." "There was no one in this flash. The detoxification mother-in-law sighed lightly: "I didn't expect there to be such a restaurant under my nose, it's really strange." The man's light skills are already so good, and I don't know where the shopkeeper of this restaurant is. Tianxiao didn't speak when he heard this, and looked straight at the guy in the restaurant flickering in the store. (To be continued......)
