Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Wang Shangshu, this is the information of the show girls who want to participate in the concubine selection sent today. Can you take a look?"

Ministry of Rites.

Wang Ruixue, the current Minister of Rites, looked at the subordinates on the side who brought another thick pile of information, and his head was big!

Ever since he took over the task of choosing a concubine, he was almost overwhelmed by the information about beautiful girls that were sent to him every day. More importantly, among the beautiful girls that could be delivered directly to his desk, which one was not from home? Someone who has status in the DPRK or local government.

Why did they directly use their connections to send the information to their desks? How could I not know?

Take a look!

This new bunch is either from a noble family, or the daughter or niece of an important court official.

Or some of the old concubine’s family members and so on.

It can be said that this pile of information involves a network of relationships ranging from the harem to the former dynasty to the military, nobles, and even localities!

One concubine selection brought out all the forces.

He was a dignified minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, a high-ranking member of the imperial court, and those who could be above him were either prime ministers or relatives of the emperor and nobles of the highest rank.

As a result, after looking at this pile of information, I felt like I didn’t know where to start!

He can't afford to offend anyone!

He rubbed his forehead with a headache. He didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Tell me, which beautiful lady from an important minister's family is in this pile?"

Zhang Tang smiled and said nothing. He took out one piece of information and placed it in front of his boss's desk.

Wang Ruixue picked up the information and read it nonchalantly. No matter what kind of big boss he was, he was no longer afraid. He had seen too many people during this period, and he didn't believe that he could still be surprised.

As a result, when he saw clearly the name written on the information above, he was inevitably stunned!

[Zhang Yuyan, now eighteen years old, is the eldest granddaughter of Zhang He, Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty! 】

"Oh my mother!"

With a plop, Wang Ruixue could not sit firmly, and even the stool fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Tang quickly helped him with his eyes and did not fall down.

Otherwise, Wang Ruixue is not sure whether his old bones will be broken directly.

After finally standing up again, calming down and pointing at the information on the table, Wang Ruixue asked Zhang Tang with a trembling tone:

"Zhang Tang, is this Zhang Yuyan really the granddaughter of Zhang Xiang's family?"

Zhang Tang smiled bitterly and nodded: "Master Shangshu, that's right, this Miss Zhang is the granddaughter of Zhang Xiang."

As he spoke, Zhang Tang carefully helped Wang Ruixue to sit firmly in his position.

Even though he had sat firmly, Wang Ruixue couldn't help but feel a little unreal and murmured:

"This is impossible. Zhang Xiangke only has a granddaughter, so why was he sent to the palace?

If we don’t recruit a new wife, who will inherit Zhang Xiang’s family business in the future?

This is impossible! "

Everyone in the capital knew that Zhang Xiang’s family had a beautiful granddaughter who was as beautiful as a fairy. She was Zhang Xiang’s only heir.

Even if the fifth prince wanted to marry him, he was unable to do so. Everyone speculated that it was clear that Zhang Xiang was planning to marry his granddaughter. All the small families and second sons in the capital were waiting for Zhang Xiang to issue the marriage invitation letter. Going to give it a try.

As a result, Zhang Xiang actually sent his granddaughter to the palace!

How shocking this is!

No wonder Wang Ruixue has this expression!

Even Zhang Tang, a newcomer who had only been in officialdom for two years, was in disbelief.

Zhang Tang looked at the information in front of him, looked at his minister with helplessness and asked: "Master Shangshu, do you think we should report this information?"

"Breathe! Breathe!"

Wang Ruixue took a deep breath, thought seriously for a moment and said:

"Send it! Since the Prime Minister has sent the information, it means that the Prime Minister is willing. Since the Prime Minister is willing, what reason do we have to stop it?

However, Zhang Tang, I know that you can contact His Majesty directly. Regarding the news that Xiang Xiang’s granddaughter has entered the draft, please give His Majesty a break first. If His Majesty agrees, we will send it to the Queen Mother. If Your Majesty does not agree, we will send it to the Queen Mother. , then let’s suppress it. "

Zhang Tang looked at Wang Ruixue in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

Jacket In my impression, Wang Ruixue has always been a rigid old man who never knew what flexibility was. Unexpectedly, he actually understood flexibility today!

Wang Ruixue saw the meaning in his eyes and gave a wry smile. This matter involved so much, no matter how old-fashioned he was, he didn't want to cause trouble for nothing. He was able to become a minister not because he was stupid!

... Soon, the news about Zhang Yuyan's participation in the talent show was sent to the palace. When Zhao Jun saw the news, he himself was shocked.

Looking at Zhang Tang’s report, Zhao Jun asked Wang Huaien on the side:

"Wang Banban, what do you mean by Zhang He?

Why did he send his only granddaughter here? "

When Wang Huaien heard this, he smiled and said:

"My servant congratulates Your Majesty. Prime Minister Zhang is willing to send his only granddaughter to the palace. This shows that he is on His Majesty's side!"

Zhao Jun shook his head and smiled:

"I don't care if he stands with me or not, but since he is willing to send his granddaughter, there is no need for me to refuse. I want to see what he means.

You can send a message to Zhang Tang and send the information to the Queen Mother. I agree! "

"promise!"

……

When Zhang Tang received the news, Wang Ruixue hurried over to inquire about the situation.

After learning that the palace agreed, the old man gritted his teeth and said:

"Since His Majesty has agreed, let's send it up!"

"Row!"

Zhang Tang nodded and sent the batch of information on beautiful women, including Zhang Yuyan, to the palace that day and delivered it to the Queen Mother Zhang Shengsheng.

The news that Zhang Xiang sent his granddaughter to the draft spread throughout Bianjing the next day, causing an uproar.

The young talents who were waiting to enter the prime minister's house cried bitterly.

And those families who also send their daughters and nieces to the palace are facing a formidable enemy!

The entire Bianjing city started discussing this matter.

The common people even began to spontaneously start buying everywhere, guessing whose daughter could successfully enter the palace.

Among them, Zhang Yuyan's odds are indeed the lowest among all the beautiful women, because in everyone's opinion, with a grandpa who is a prime minister, the success rate of moving into the palace is probably close to 100%, so there is no need to guess.

……

boom!

"Damn it, what did this old guy Zhang He think? He actually sent his granddaughter to the palace?

Don’t they want the Zhang family’s property anymore? "

Huang Mansion.

The Wuliuhuang family and Mikawa Zhang family in Xiangnan County are both prominent local families.

Before the Zhang family, during the reign of the first emperor, the prime minister in the court was none other than Huang Ji, the previous head of the Huang family.

However, as the late emperor ascended the throne, his old ministers gradually withdrew from the stage of the court. The former prime minister Huang Ji even retired early and returned to his hometown, and the post of prime minister was also succeeded by Zhang He, the former Minister of Civil Affairs.

Later in the Tiansheng Dynasty, Zhang He took a step closer, from Prime Minister Zuo to Prime Minister, becoming truly one person inferior to ten thousand people!

In two villages in the same county, their own family declined and other families rose. The Huang family has been jealous of the Zhang family since then. With the new emperor ascending the throne, they thought that the Zhang family would eventually decline. After all, there is only one emperor and one courtier.

Who would have expected that Zhang He would still cling to the position of prime minister and not go down.

Now when it came time to choose a concubine, the Huang family specially sent their eldest daughter to the capital, and even took advantage of their previous connections, hoping to use their eldest daughter to marry into the palace so that the Huang family could prosper again.

Unexpectedly, his granddaughter was also involved in this chapter. The harem has always been prestigious, and one queen and four concubines are extremely honorable!

The current Holy Emperor was born to the original Concubine De, and if one of his own daughters could occupy one of them, it would be impossible to say that the next emperor would be a prince with his own bloodline.

Those who only plan for the moment will not be able to achieve the overall goal, and those who do not plan for the eternity will not be able to achieve full success.

The competition was already fierce, but Zhang He's action was like directly grabbing a seat. How could they not be angry!

You are now the prime minister, you don’t have to rely on your granddaughter to exchange for glory and wealth, but you are still robbing us, do you want face?

Zhanghe!
