I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 152 Give me three Jieyu first (please subscribe)

The sun rose again, and today's Weiyang Palace is safe and sound.

There were no big or small court meetings, and the weather was extremely hot, so the number of officials who entered the palace was much less.

But in the cramped Shangshu Office, there was a sense of tension.

General Huo Guang, Prime Minister Yang Chang and Zongzheng Liu De sat facing each other.

It seems that the three legs are standing at the same time, but Huo Guang and Yang Chang are closer, forming a vague suppression of Liu De.

The three of them came to discuss the matter of canonizing the queen.

Usually, Huo Guang takes the lead in discussing matters at the Shangshu Office.

But today, the matter of canonizing the queen is related to the Huo family, so Prime Minister Yang Chang started it first.

Yang Chang coughed a few times half-truthfully, and put his qualifications in front of Liu De, and then said slowly: "Whether in the palace or in the imperial court, choosing a concubine is the top priority. The county magistrate will Entrusting this matter to us is a great trust in us, and we must make a decision early to avoid suspending the position of concubine and concubine."

As far as this Yang Chang is concerned, although he is a puppet prime minister, he is definitely a good hand when it comes to putting on a show.

The few words he said casually had already set the tone for this matter - the matter of choosing a concubine to seal the queen must be decided as early as possible without delay.

However, what he met today was not an ordinary official, but Liu De.

When Emperor Xiaowu was around, he called Liu De a thousand-mile horse. Needless to say, his ability, so when he decided to obstruct something, no one in the Han court could easily pass by.

Not even Yang Chang and Huo Guang.

"The prime minister's words are wrong. It is precisely because the matter of the harem is a major matter, so I have to go into it carefully. If you make a hasty decision, it will be a betrayal of the trust of the county magistrate and the past emperors. Yang Gong feels that the official said this. Is it reasonable?"

"I didn't think about it properly. Uncle Lu is right. Only by finishing this matter quickly and well can we be worthy of the county magistrate's trust." Yang Chang didn't care about Liu De's offense, as if he didn't hear it. , is still a kind look.

Huo Guang looked at it coldly, feeling a little headache unavoidably.

Liu De has a square personality, and his biggest characteristic is stubbornness.

Don't look at him being kind to others on weekdays, he is a gentle and modest gentleman, but once he becomes stubborn, ten cows can't be pulled back.

Ten years ago, when Liu De's first wife died of illness, Huo Guang intentionally married his second daughter to him, thus drawing her into his camp.

In order to make this marriage possible, Huo Guang thought of many ways, and asked many ministers in the court to come forward to persuade him, but Liu De was determined not to accept it, and even said that whoever dares to force him, then he will learn from Shang Yi Boyi He and Shuqi went to live in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain.

In the end, this matter caused a lot of trouble, so I had to let it go.It made Huo Guang lose face.

"Well, what Yang Gong said is right, and what Uncle Lu said is also right. It is necessary to think carefully, but also to be decisive and quick. The matter of the harem is small, and the matter of children is big." Huo Guang reconciled the mud.

"The general had a face-to-face meeting with the county magistrate, what is the magistrate's oracle regarding this matter?" Yang Changming asked knowingly.

"The county magistrate and the old man said that Emperor Xiaozhao had just made a big fortune, and the county magistrate didn't want to be too conspicuous in the selection of concubines. Three or five people are enough. The two agreed that three people are suitable, or five people are better. ?” Just like that, Huo Guang forcibly brought the topic to the point.

"Since the county magistrate said that he didn't want to be too conspicuous, I'm afraid that the selection of three women with fair temperaments is the most suitable for the emperor's wish." After Yang Chang said, Huo Guang nodded, as if to agree.

Huo Guang not only wanted to canonize Huo Chengjun as a queen, but also wanted Huo Chengjun to give birth to the son of the emperor. In this way, the fewer people entering the harem, the better.

The fewer concubines in the harem, the more rain and dew the queen can get, and the easier it is to conceive an heir.

If it wasn't for not being honest, Huo Guang wished he could send Huo Chengjun into the palace alone.

"On the contrary, the minister thinks that five people are better. Since it is for the county magistrate to have children as soon as possible, more concubines should be selected, and it is best to be older, so that it is easier to give birth to children."

There is also a hidden mystery in Liu De's words. Huo Chengjun does not meet the requirement of being a little older.

This is just the beginning, and the two sides have differences.

If it was placed among the people, the matter they discussed should be a joyous matter, but at this moment, there is a trace of murderous intent in the small Shangshu Office.

If Liu He was present, I don't know how he would feel.

"In that case, let's call it four people." Yang Chang said.

"The four are in harmony with death, a sign of great evil, I'm afraid it's not right." Liu De didn't plan to back down even a single step.

If the stalemate is here, I don't know the year of the monkey before we can get down to business.

Huo Guang stood up all of a sudden, the original gentleness on his face was completely gone, and he showed the domineering General Sima again!
"The county magistrate is the son of heaven, and he is a person of great auspiciousness. Don't be afraid of the small four characters. The number of people is set at four, one for the queen, and three for Jieyu. That's it."

Liu De still wanted to talk, but Huo Guang didn't give him a chance to interject. He waved his sleeves quite coolly, and only said to Yang Chang, "Does the Prime Minister have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Liu De was chilled for a while.

This kind of scene has happened more than once in the imperial court and the Shangshu Office. Every time someone puts forward a different opinion from Huo Guang, he will use this brutal and direct way to act arbitrarily.

As time passed, no one in the court dared to oppose him anymore.

Liu De had nothing to say, and if he wanted to blame him, he could blame himself for not being worthy enough.

"In the past few days, the old man has been thinking about it day and night, and he already has a few candidates in his mind, and now he is throwing bricks and jade for the second public to consult."

"Oh? Tell me about it, Mr. Yang."

"The first is the daughter of Cai Yi, the imperial historian, the second is the sister of Fan Mingyou, the general of the Liao Dynasty, and the third is the grandson of Xiahou Sheng from Changxin Shaofu. These three daughters are dignified and virtuous, with excellent morals and manners. They should be named Jieyu."

On the surface, these girls all came from Gongqing's family, and their family education was very strict, so they must have been taught well.

However, the character of these girls is not important, and it doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't like it. What matters is the family behind them.

Except for the relative neutrality of the grandson of Changxin Shaofu Xiahou Sheng, Cai Yi and Fan Mingyou are both Huo Dang.

When Yang Chang pushed these people out, it was clear what he had in mind.

Liu De's respect for the head of the hundred officials was gone.

Tai Shigong is such a tough guy, even Emperor Xiaowu is not afraid, but this Yang Chang is only following Huo Guang's lead, it is simply shameless.

The disdain on Liu De's face could hardly be hidden.

Yang Chang was calm and composed. Compared with his second son, Fenghou, Liu De's white eyes are nothing to be afraid of.

Back in the day, the ancestor Yang Xi watched Xiang Yu commit suicide by slaying himself, and he quickly snatched the Overlord's thigh with his sharp eyesight and hands, and only then did he start the glory of the Yang family.

It's not shameful to make meritorious service.

"Uncle Lu, do you have any objections to this candidate?"

"There are also three candidates for the lower officials, can you mention them?"

"Oh? Uncle Lu, but it's okay."

"Sister of Guanglu Xun Zhang Anshi, grandson of Shuiheng Lieutenant Zhao Chongguo, daughter of Doctor Guanglu Bingji, all of them have both talents and looks, and gentle personality, they can be established as Jieyu."

When Huo Guang heard the names of these people, he already had a killing intent in his heart.

This Liu De is so courageous, because he made it clear that he wanted to fight Huo Shi.

It seems that to find a reason, the Marquis of Yangcheng is going to be abolished.

Huo Guang couldn't get angry on the spot, but he didn't speak any more.

Yang Chang immediately understood Huo Guang's intentions, and immediately started arguing with Liu De.

The two dignified three men and nine ministers, just like peasant women in the countryside, started arguing over which of these women is better.

Foaming all over the mouth, citing scriptures and allusions, they laid out the generations of ancestors of these women.

For a whole quarter of an hour, there was no silence in the Shangshu Office.

In the end, no one convinced anyone.

Although Yang Chang didn't learn Tai Shigong's iron and bone, but he didn't lose at all in terms of knowledge.

Liu De's lineage is an outlier among Liu's clan, especially his two sons, Liu Anmin and Liu Xiang, who are well educated.

When the two meet, they are naturally opponents.

And Huo Guang just doesn't like reading. He can't understand many allusions and vocabulary, but just feels a headache.

"Okay!" Huo Guang couldn't bear it anymore, and stopped the two of them.

"I'll make a compromise, and the second gentleman will see if it's appropriate."

"General, please tell me." Yang Chang, who had just been coughing for a while, said impatiently.

"Sister of Guang Luxun Zhang Anshi, daughter of Cai Yi, the official censor, and grandson of Xiahou Sheng of Changxin Shaofu." After Huo Guang finished speaking, his majestic eyes swept over the two of them one by one, as if forcing them to make an immediate decision.

Yang was a respondent, so naturally he would not have any objections; Liu De felt uneasy, but he couldn't say much.

At least, Fan Mingyou's sister didn't intervene.

"The lower official has no objection." Yang Chang quickly responded

"Then let's make it so," Huo Guang said.

In this way, when the emperor had never seen these women, they all became his three concubines.

Whether he likes these concubines is not important, what is important is that they represent a balance in the court.

And these three Jieyu are just foreplay, the highlight is the empress.

Without a long pause, Yang Chang spoke again, his impatience palpable in his words.

"As for the queen, the old man also has a suitable candidate."

When he arrived in this field, Yang Chang no longer cared about his shame. For the promise of one family and two marquises, he willingly acted as a pawn of the Huo family.
