A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 322 The Power of the Emperor

When the news of Wang Luo's selection of the crown princess was released, not only the noble families, but also other noble families also became commotion.

This is a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and no family is willing to miss it.Wang Luo actually already had plans in mind regarding the choice of the Crown Princess.

At the same time, in addition to the Crown Princess, there were also two concubines and four Teng people.If it is not enough, you can continue to increase it.

Since ancient times, marriage has been a bond of quick alliance and mutual trust.

Wang Luo was not worried about whether the prince's father-in-law's strength would affect state affairs in the future. In the Daqian court, the power of the royal family was very strong.There is no worry that these people will take advantage of the status of the state leader to dominate the government, or replace them.

First of all, the Yulin Guards, who are directly controlled by the Daqian royal family, can crush those nobles to death.

As the Daqian dynasty unified the world, Daqian had more money and food, so he expanded the number of Yulin Guards from 1 to 3.

Except for [-] of the [-] elite troops stationed in Luoyang, the remaining [-] troops were stationed on rotation at the border.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Wang Luo specially prepared an army rotation system.The standing army of the Daqian Dynasty would take turns to guard the border.This can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also give the army soldiers time to rest.

At the same time, the most critical thing is that rotating the army can reduce the control of senior generals over the army.Without control, even if these generals want to rebel, there will be very few troops to rebel.

On the other hand, these armies took turns to go to Luoyang to garrison. Wang Luo would take time to go to the military camp every day. It can be said that this was an unbeatable thing.

Many people felt that the emperor had nothing to do. Why did he go to see those big soldiers every day?But Wang Luo never paid attention.

Patrolling the army in Beijing every day is a way of tightening military power. If the emperor doesn't hold the knife, can he let others stab him twice?
In those days, Wu Qi shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and the rewards and punishments were clear. Therefore, the soldiers used their lives to conquer the world and became invincible.You don't even think about meeting those big-headed soldiers, so you expect a group of soldiers you've never even met to be willing to die for you?
Those soldiers are also individuals and have their own ideas.

These soldiers have seen you, and you have even spoken to them, and know that you gave them their money, food and land. Will these soldiers not be loyal to you?

In fact, as the founding king of the country, Wang Luo had no need to go. He could get the army to be loyal just by relying on his extremely high prestige, but his descendants could not. By doing this, he was completely setting an example for his descendants.

As the founding king of the country, he understood the importance of the knife handle very well.As long as you hold the handle of the knife tightly, the throne will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Wang Yun went to the homes of several distinguished nobles before returning to the palace to resume his duties.

"Your Majesty, the second generation of the Xu family is ineffective, but the third generation is pretty good. When Xu Chao dies, the Wuchenghou Mansion will only have the influence of relatives and friends, and its own strength has plummeted, but the third generation is successful, so it can be used as a The prince’s team.”

Wang Luo nodded: "Third brother, thank you for your trouble!"

Wang Yun said: "There are other companies that can also help the prince. Your Majesty might as well take a look."

Wang Luoyou looked at the other two families. These two families were also high-ranking nobles. One had average military exploits but was good at governing the people. The other was not strong in personal abilities but could talk to every noble. Words can help the emperor win over these people.

Wang Luo was quite satisfied with this arrangement, so he asked the queen to hold a banquet and summon all the wives and legitimate daughters to the palace to attend.

Within a few days, the queen held a peony party on the grounds that the peonies were in full bloom in the Shanglin Garden, and invited the noble ladies from the capital to come and play.

Every family in the capital immediately understood what the queen meant and quickly ordered their wives to take their legitimate daughters to attend.

After the flower party is over, the queen will discuss with Wang Luo which girl she thinks is good.

"Which girl does Zitong think is suitable?"

"The Zhang family's direct daughter is good, and the Xu family's direct daughter is also good." The queen said with a smile.

"What are their personalities like?" Wang Luo asked.The queen said: "Zhang's daughter is smart and lively, Bingxue is clever, Xu's daughter is steady and generous, and has a gentle personality."

Wang Luo thought for a moment and said: "How does she look? The Crown Princess is the future queen. If she is too ordinary, how can she be the mother of the world?"

The queen said: "They are all handsome in appearance. They are rare beauties."

"Then let's choose Xu's daughter, who is steady, dignified, and generous. In this way, she can be the mother of the world. Let Zhang's daughter be the concubine." Wang Luo said.

"Your Majesty has thought carefully!"

Wang Luo and the Queen were very fast, and that night a decree came from Shangyang Palace to the General's Mansion.The house was immediately filled with joy.The entire General's Mansion was more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Soon the news that Marquis Wu Cheng's legitimate daughter was chosen as the crown princess spread throughout Luoyang City, and the news that Zhang's daughter became a concubine also spread.

This made the nobles very happy.

After the establishment of Daqian, the hereditary system of noble families and ministers has been completely broken.This is why nobles, nobles and ministers are keen on the idea of ​​marriage.

They wanted to use this intricate relationship to maintain their title, especially after Wang Luo revoked the feudal state and only had food.

Xu Chao was relieved after seeing the decree, but he also understood that being able to marry the royal family was both an opportunity and a crisis.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, many relatives have not died well. The history books clearly remember that if they are not cautious and arrogant, they will die without knowing how.

Xu Chao immediately called his son over.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Xu Cuo said respectfully.

Xu Chao nodded slightly and said, "I have something to explain to you this time."

"Father, please speak."

"Yan'er is going to be the Crown Princess, and in the future she will be the Queen, but you must remember to keep a low profile, and the children in the family are not allowed to commit adultery, otherwise they will bring trouble to our Xu family."

"It's father." Xu Cuo nodded and agreed.

"When Yan'er becomes the Crown Princess, I will submit a letter to resign from all positions and go home to recuperate."

"Ah, why is this?" Xu Cuo was shocked and asked quickly.

Xu Chao slightly raised his eyes and said, "I'm old and it's time to retire. From now on, you can only rely on yourselves."

"But Your Majesty.?"

"Shut up!" Xu Chao's expression changed and he cursed fiercely: "Are you trying to kill the entire Xu family?"

"Your father, I am seventy-two this year. How many years do I have left to live? His Majesty wants me to serve for another two years, but I am unwilling."

"You are not qualified enough. You can just keep the family together. Don't expect anything else. Your son is not bad. Just remember to let him follow the prince." After saying this, he closed his eyes and waved his hand to let his son leave.
