Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 565
Chang'an, the Changle Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Son, our family is rich." The emperor hugged his seventh son, Chengxuan, and said to his son while walking.

Wool sweaters, woolen trousers, and even woolen underwear are sold well among the tribes on the grasslands, and the cattle, sheep and horses they exchanged for are being sent to Chang'an in an endless stream.

In the spring of next year, he will be able to temporarily lend these cattle and sheep to the people who have no income due to the disaster to cultivate land.

It's good to be able to farm and harvest people's hearts, and make a lot of money.

In the future, as more and more large factories are built, he will only earn more and more.Maybe, a few years later, ordinary people will be able to eat a bite of beef and mutton during festivals.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Empress Yang said, "Your Majesty, there is something that I want to report to Your Majesty."

"what's up?"

"That child of Yongning has reached the age of marriage."

Li Zhiyun realized, "You mean Shunniang?"

"Yes." Empress Yang said with a smile: "Some time ago, Sister Wei and my concubine brought up this matter. I wonder if Your Majesty has any suggestions?"

"How old is Shunniang this year?" Li Zhiyun was a little puzzled. In his impression, this fake daughter didn't seem very old.

Empress Yang said: "It's already thirteen."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun didn't say anything.

This is the case in ancient times, women can marry at the age of twelve or thirteen.Not to mention, the second sister-in-law married the second brother at the age of thirteen, and Li Lizhi also married at the age of twelve.

Stopping, Li Zhiyun looked at the queen.

"Does the imperial concubine have a son-in-law she likes?"

Empress Yang said softly: "Sister Wei thinks that my nephew, Wei Tu, is not bad. She plans to get engaged first, and then get married after two years."

"Who is this Wei Cheng?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Jingzhao Webster has a large family and many adults, so of course it is impossible for him to remember everyone.

Empress Yang said: "Sister Wei said that he seems to be the son of the elder brother of Duke Xun."

Having said that, Li Zhiyun knew it.Brother Wei Siqi, son of Wei Siyan.

It seems that he seems to have seen it before, and has a little impression.

"My daughter, if you want to marry, you have to marry a talented person in the country. Besides, the princess is still young, so we can talk about it in two years."

Hearing this, Empress Yang didn't find it strange.Inside and outside the court, no one knew that the emperor loved his daughter more than his son.

However, Princess Yongning, a fake daughter, could be loved so much by the emperor, which she did not expect.

"The concubine knows."

As if afraid of the empress thinking too much, Li Zhiyun explained: "As a woman, you should know the danger of marrying at a young age."

"Yes, the concubine will make it clear to Sister Wei."

Li Zhiyun hummed.

He thought to himself, if Yongning married at such a young age, wouldn't it be the same for his precious daughter Jinyang?
How can this be done, marrying at the age of twelve or thirteen, isn't it harming the daughter, no matter how you say it, you have to be fifteen or sixteen to get married.

Of course, it cannot be delayed until the age of twenty.Otherwise, it would be Datang's "leftover fighters".Although the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, she can't be too bad.

Immediately afterwards, Queen Yang said again: "Your Majesty, the matter of drafting cannot be delayed any longer. The Empress Dowager also hopes that Your Majesty will draft women as soon as possible to enrich the harem."

This problem has not been resolved since Li Zhiyun ascended the throne.Although it is said that the emperor's heirs are prosperous, but there are too few concubines in the harem, and the ministers also feel that it is inappropriate.

Under normal circumstances, it is considered proper for a concubine to have two digits.Now Li Zhiyun's harem only has single-digit concubines, which is obviously unreasonable.

It's not that he is a dedicated person, in fact, he is also greedy for money.However, if you turn your interest into a task, it will be a bit boring.

Of course, it's not resistance.

After all, to a certain extent, men are dedicated and always like young and beautiful girls.

It seems good for young women and mature women to stay together and change occasionally.

"Wait a little longer." Li Zhiyun said: "In two years, let's wait for the disaster to pass."

"No." Empress Yang refused, saying: "The concubine knows that His Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and wants to set an example, and then consider these things after the disaster is eliminated, but if Your Majesty refuses to be drafted again and again, I am afraid that the courtiers will discuss it. Moreover, the Queen Mother Over there, the concubine is not easy to explain."

Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have some understanding in his heart.

The courtiers hope that his draft is true, but it may also contain some people's thoughts.He doesn't even need to guess, some ministers must be like the queen mother, hoping to enrich the harem by drafting girls, so that he can forget about his second wife.

It sure is!
If it is said that he does not have many heirs, then the courtiers and the queen mother want him to accept more concubines and have more heirs for the royal family, then it is reasonable.

However, he now has six or seven sons, and the queen and concubines are young, so it's not that he can't continue to have children, and there is no need to draft during this time of successive years of disasters.

Li Zhiyun was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Empress Yang said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. During this draft, the courtiers will try not to disturb the people as much as possible, and the number of women in the show will be limited to a dozen or so. In this way, there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After thinking about it, Li Zhiyun nodded.

"Okay, I'm ready."

Empress Yang smiled and nodded, "The concubine obeys the order."

As long as the emperor accepts the draft, she doesn't expect the emperor to give up Princess Qin, she just asks the emperor to take care of the influence and stop going to the Qin palace.

Inside and outside Chang'an, everyone now knows that Princess Qin is extremely favored by the emperor.If it was changed to the concubine of the harem, this statement is nothing.But the problem is, Princess Qin is the emperor's sister-in-law.

Do you want this royal face?

Shou'an Palace.

"The emperor agrees?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law has already obtained His Majesty's approval."

The Empress Dowager Wan said with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good. There are some things that the emperor didn't do properly, so you have to think about it for him. The emperor is young, and he doesn't care about the consequences, but you have to stare at him and persuade him from time to time. he.

This time, things are getting bigger and bigger, and you don't move.Could it be that you really want the emperor to accept Princess Qin? "

"My daughter-in-law naturally doesn't want to." Empress Yang said with a bitter face: "But Queen Mother, you also know your Majesty's temper. If your daughter-in-law persuades you too much, I'm afraid things will backfire."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Wan sighed: "Oh, this child of the Ai family is obedient and filial, but sometimes his temper is a bit blunt. It was nothing in the past, but now he is the emperor, and he has to take care of everything in everything he does.

He focused on state affairs, so in private matters, he was inevitably incompetent and not thoughtful enough.At this time, as a queen, you should think more about him and deal with the aftermath for him, so as not to cause jokes. "

"Yes, my daughter-in-law will keep it in mind."

The Empress Dowager Wan nodded, and immediately asked: "This draft, Aijia feels that the emperor's temper must be known to everyone who doesn't want to engage in it, and the people are suffering from disasters, so let's keep everything simple.

By the way, in your heart, is there anyone to choose? "

Empress Yang said: "The imperial court honors civil and military affairs, and the information about the ladies to be married at home has been sorted out by my daughter-in-law, and I am about to show it to my mother."

As she spoke, she presented a document.

The Empress Dowager Wan was very satisfied with the Queen's thoughtful work, praised her a few words, and took over the documents to check.

After a while, she frowned and said, "Daughter Dou, you are not allowed to enter the palace."

Empress Yang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't dare to ask why, she just agreed softly.

In the view of Queen Mother Wan, none of the women surnamed Dou is simple.

"Also, daughter of the Dugu family, well, don't choose to enter the palace this time either." Empress Dowager Wan could never forget how jealous Empress Dugu was in the former Sui Dynasty.If the emperor accepted Dugu's daughter, would the harem be peaceful?
