The heavens begin with Hongquan

After a long exchange of words, Wanyankang calmed Bao Xiruo.

When I came outside, I rarely saw the red dress.

"Bai Feng, where is Hong Yu?"

The white shadow flashed and Bai Feng appeared.

"Back to Your Highness, Sister Hongyu said that she has something to deal with temporarily."

"...Do you need me to find her?"

Wan Yankang waved his hand: "No need. By the way, let Ouyang Ke write a letter to his uncle later, and then you can copy a paragraph from the first half of the Nine Yin Manual and put it in the letter."

Bai Feng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

If an ordinary Jianghu person, even one from the Quanzhen Sect, heard that the "Nine Yin Manual" was copied to others, they would definitely stop it, but Bai Feng would never question Wanyankang's words, let alone violate Wanyankang's instructions. instruction.

When Wanyan Honglie came back, he saw Wanyan Kang sitting in the courtyard pavilion.

The two father and son looked at each other silently, and after a while, they laughed at the same time.

"My mother-in-law came to me to talk about my marriage."

"When you turn twenty-nine, it's time to make a marriage decision."

"It's not just the mother, concubine and father who think so." Wanyankang poured a cup of tea for Wanyan Honglie, "Are some civil and military officials in the court also interested? I have received news that some people are already looking for me. A woman of suitable age in the family.”

Among them, the minister Zuo Cheng is naturally indispensable.

They are very positive.

Not only was he concerned about the prince's concubines, but he also "took care" of the emperor's grandson.

It is estimated that because of thinking too much, the heart qi is disordered and the qi and blood are stagnant, which is why the disease qi invades the body and suffers from "hemiplegia".

After all, Wan Yankang has now officially worn the crown of the grandson. More importantly, the grandson of the emperor is not married yet, so it is normal for those civil and military officials to have their thoughts.

Once she succeeds, she will be the grand concubine!

When His Majesty rides the dragon and returns to heaven, she will be the Crown Princess and the Queen in the future!

Then the queen's family will rise and become the top family in the empire.

"This is not only your private matter, but also a national matter."

Wanyan Honglie said seriously.

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. The emperor's family has no selfish things. You said this yourself."

"I don't plan to have a concubine, so you will have to take on the important task of spreading the branches and leaves of the royal family."

"...I understand, father."

Wanyankang knew what the other party said made sense.

The father only has one son, which is very unbelievable for an imperial prince.

Therefore, either the father accepts the concubine, or he decides to get married early.

The lesser of two evils.

Wanyankang didn't want to see Bao Xiruo fall into a possible "palace fight", even if the possibility was extremely low. He only hoped that his mother and concubine could live a peaceful and carefree life.

Seeing that his persuasion was successful, Wanyan Honglie struck while the iron was hot.

"So, do you have any requirements for the candidate for the Grand Concubine?"

"Zhao family of Song Dynasty? Li family of Xixia? Duan family of Dali? Tubo? Mongolia? Xiliao?"

"As long as Kang'er opens your mouth, I can ask my father to send the royal daughter of my clan to us for marriage."

"...Well, let's forget the last two. They don't know etiquette and lack education."

"If you don't like the daughter of another country, in our Jin Dynasty, no matter which family's legitimate daughter, you can tell her, and my father will take care of the rest."

Faced with Wanyan Honglie's "Jili Guala" output, Wanyan Kang couldn't help but sigh.

Why is it more difficult for a grown man to handle marriage than for a woman?

Wan Yankang took a sip of tea.

"Then ruby."

…………

"Hey, have you heard? The concubine has been selected."

"Really? Which prince's daughter is she?"

"Ha, you guessed wrong this time. She is not the noble daughter of a duke's family."

"Oh? Is she the daughter of a noble family? Or the princess of another country's clan?"

"neither……"

"Okay, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."

"It's a woman named "Hongyu"."

"Hongyu? It doesn't sound like a formal maiden name... Do you know the name of this Hongyu? What is her origin?" "I really don't know that."

"You don't know, but I know a little bit."

"Oh, tell me quickly."

"I heard that this Hongyu is a female official of the palace, and she has been following His Highness Taisun."

"Isn't that just a maid..."

The listeners were all stunned for a moment, and then spoke one after another.

"A mere maid suddenly rose to the heights of heaven and became a grandson concubine..."

Some people gnashed their teeth and felt dissatisfied.

Some people feel that the status gap is too great and is not common courtesy.

Some people feel lost, as if they have lost a great fortune...

Minister's Mansion.

When Huang Rong learned the news from Huang Yaoshi, she was truly happy for Sister Hongyu.

"Sister Hongyu, this can be regarded as getting what you wanted."

"That guy has some conscience."

She thought that in the end it would be like what was written in the storybook, where "love ends in vain".

Huang Yaoshi was a little surprised that Wanyan Kanghui chose Hongyu to become the concubine.

If it was a "grandson concubine", he would understand it very well.

Since ancient times, historical data have recorded that emperors’ concubines had very prominent family backgrounds. Some emperors even relied on their wives’ maternal clan to ascend to the throne and dominate the world.

But after all, Huang Yaoshi was a man of extraordinary intelligence. He could see through the surface of things and see the essence. He quickly analyzed the benefits of Wanyankang's choice.

"Rong'er, this may not have much to do with conscience."

"..." Huang Rong looked confused.

"You have to know that there is no true love in the emperor's family. Especially for a smart man like Wan Yankang, every choice he makes has his calculations."

"Plan?"

Although Huang Rong is smart and smart, she has limited experience and does not understand court games.

Seeing this, Huang Yaoshi immediately analyzed and explained to his daughter.

"Rong'er, do you know my cousin?"

Huang Rong nodded.

Relatives refer to the emperor's mother's family and his wife's family.

"Wan Yankang's move prevents the risk of "foreign relatives interfering in politics."

A relative is involved in politics?

After all, Huang Rong was smart. When Huang Yaoshi mentioned this, combined with the history books she had read, a hint of enlightenment immediately arose in her heart.

"In the past dynasties, there have been cases of foreign relatives interfering in politics." Huang Yaoshi said, "The reason for this is mostly that the new emperor is young or incompetent, resulting in the power falling into the hands of a few ministers. Or the eunuch group has too much power. , the monarch cannot suppress it with his own power, so he needs to support his relatives to fight for power with the eunuchs in order to achieve the final goal of integrating power. "

The Han Dynasty was the peak period for foreign relatives to interfere in politics.

For example, the Dou family, headed by Queen Mother Dou, was so powerful that they could even control who would succeed the Han Dynasty.

"That is to say, that guy doesn't really want to marry Sister Hongyu. He just treats Sister Hongyu as a tool, a chess piece..."

Huang Rong looked angry and criticized someone.

Flowers portend fruits, girls dream of love.

In the eyes of a girl, someone's behavior is a stain on love.

…………

Regarding Wan Yankang's choice, there were not many people who thought the same way as Huang Yaoshi.

Yelu family.

"Sanlang, have you already known about His Highness the Grandson's choice?"

Yelu Lu asked Yelu Chucai.

"If I say that I really didn't know before, would you believe me, Dad?"

Yelu's goatee was trembling. He was used to not getting the truth from his youngest son.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Sun's move can minimize the hidden dangers of relatives interfering in politics. Perhaps this move was still influenced by His Highness the Crown Prince."

Because Yelu Lu heard that the princess was a Song Dynasty woman.
