I am the carpenter king

Chapter 41 Candidates

Seeing that Li Maochang didn't let go of his mouth, Zhang Guoji was a little annoyed, and said loudly: "I don't know which dignitary in the capital it is?"

"Brother, listen to me." Taking a sip of tea, Li Changmao continued: "I will be rich in the world tomorrow, and the newly enthroned Lord Tianqi is just 16 years old this year. Yesterday, I received an official document from the magistrate's yamen. The county has selected three outstanding girls to be selected by His Majesty. The virtuous nieces are suitable for their age and good in appearance, and they should be selected." Li Changmao finished speaking with a smile and looked at Zhang Guoji expectantly.

At this time, Zhang Guoji was sitting on the chair with a dazed expression on his face. He knew that he couldn't escape this time, and he sighed decadently after he was overwhelmed.As soon as you enter the Hou's gate, it's as deep as the sea, let alone the palace gate?At this time, he already understood why Li Changmao did this, and he should do the same if he were himself!

Zhang Guoji naturally has confidence in his daughter, whether it is appearance, talent, learning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is the best choice.As long as there is no accident, the queen dare not say anything, but there is still hope for the noble concubine.Although this is the case, Zhang Guoji still doesn't want women to enter the palace and he is greedy for wealth.

Few of these emperors in the Ming Dynasty were decent, and most of them were addicted to alcohol and died early.

Seeing Zhang Guoji's appearance, Li Changmao gritted his teeth with some discomfort in his heart, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Brother, I know you feel bad if you really don't want to!"

Zhang Guoji was a little surprised after hearing Li Maochang's words, and then looked at Li Maochang hopefully.

Looking at Zhang Guoji's appearance, Li Maochang knew that there was nothing he could do, if he forced Zhang Guoji's woman into the palace.He may not say anything at this time, but he will wait for revenge in the future!Why not sell her a favor at this time!Thinking of this, Li Maochang said: "Brother, I can only put your daughter's name behind and not make any special recommendations. As for the other brothers, there is nothing I can do."

Looking at Li Maochang's appearance, Zhang Guoji was also a little moved. It is not easy to sacrifice his own future to do this.As for cheating, don't say that Li Maochang didn't dare, and neither did he.Once Jin Yiwei finds out, it is the crime of exterminating the Nine Clans.

"Thank you dear brother." Zhang Guoji got up gently and gave a gentle salute to Li Maochang, saying gratefully.

"Brother, you are welcome." Li Maochang hurriedly helped Zhang Guoji up and said with a wry smile. At this time, he was very disappointed.

Just when the two were talking, a person came in suddenly, and said to Zhang Guoji, "Father, I am willing to enter the palace." The person who came was Zhang Yan.

"What are you doing here? You can come here, why don't you go out quickly." Seeing the woman Zhang Guoji's heart tightened and hearing what his daughter said, he immediately reprimanded in anger.

"Brother, don't be angry that niece Xian came just in time. Tell me why you want to enter the palace?" Li Changmao's heart became active again at this time. Since the protagonist is willing, Zhang Guoji's attitude is not so important.

"Yan'er, see Uncle Li." Zhang Yan did not call Li Changmao the county magistrate, but called himself a niece. After saluting Li Changmao, he said: "Since the emperor issued an edict, it is an imperial decree. Father and uncle did it out of a sacred purpose. Maybe the emperor didn't know about it, but that doesn't mean no one knows about it. In our Xiangfu County, there are Jinyiwei people. At this time, I think they should have received orders from above. They must also know about my existence, and they may even have me It is possible that his portrait has already been reported. Although our Xiangfu County is not big, there is also a Jinyi guard. If this incident happens, Uncle Li’s dereliction of duty will be inevitable. Dismissal will be light. I am afraid that our Zhang family will also The house will be ransacked, since it cannot be avoided, why not do it openly?" Zhang Yan's voice was not loud but Zhang Guoji and Li Changmao were stunned, yes!I think things are too simple.

After a while, Li Changmao suddenly realized that this 14-year-old girl actually thought of things that he and Zhang Guoji hadn't reflected on.It seems that she is very extraordinary and wants to be a noble concubine in the future, it seems that her chance has come.

When the whole country was busy for Emperor Apocalypse, the new emperor was walking in the Forbidden City and naturally knew nothing about the outside world, only knowing that his election had begun.

Looking at the tall palace walls of the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi had the idea of ​​going out to see for the first time. Since he came to this era, he had been locked in this deep walled courtyard. It was really boring to think about it at this time.

"Li Lan, what do you think it's like outside?" Looking back at Li Lan who was following behind him, as for Chen Hong, he was directly ignored by Emperor Tianqi gorgeously.

"Your Majesty, I can't remember many things about my servant entering the palace at the age of six. The life outside my memory is lively and colorful." Li Lan's expression is also very yearning for the life that has been like a prison for so many years. The little girl also wants to leave here.

"I don't know when I can go out and have a look!" Hearing Li Lan's words, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did he want to time travel to become the emperor?If it is a prince, how happy it would be to travel around the mountains and rivers with beautiful women every day!

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Li Lan didn't feel anything, but Chen Hong's expression suddenly changed, no!The Emperor Zhengde back then was addicted to traveling in micro-services.If the emperor in front of him also has such a hobby, then things will be really troublesome.Every time the emperor travels, it costs a lot of money, even traveling in micro-services will consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

"Lan'er, do you have a dream?" After a long time, Emperor Tianqi came back to his senses and asked Li Lan who was beside him again.

"I hope that all the people in the world will not suffer anymore, and that they can have food and money to spend. They don't have to worry about their livelihood every day. When they encounter something, someone decides, and they won't be beaten for no reason." Li Lan said at this time The mood was a little low, while Emperor Tianqi was lost in thought.

Looking at the crowd in front of her, Zhang Yan was a little surprised. She didn't expect there to be so many people.The place where she is located is the governor's office of Xiangfu County. At this time, Xiangfu County is Kaifeng for later generations. In the previous dynasties, there was a separate Kaifeng Mansion, but it disappeared in the Ming Dynasty. Kaifeng Mansion was directly merged into Henan and renamed. Xiangfu County.

Seven days have passed since she knew she was going to participate in the selection, and Zhang Yan has already participated in one selection during these seven days.It's just that that time it was the selection from the counties to the prefectures, and this time it was the selection of the entire Henan Province.

Standing at the gate of the governor's yamen at this time, Zhang Yan's heart was full of mixed feelings, and her mood was very chaotic.Looking at the carriages parked at the gate of the governor's office and the servants standing there, Zhang Yan knew that these people should all be selected later.
