Chapter 107
"I thought, Jinghaihou also has a teacher-student relationship with the emperor. Now he is the one who can get in on this matter. Can you ask him to do a favor so that the emperor can fill up the beauty pageant as soon as possible? Harem?"

Han Rui chuckled lightly and said, "Princess Dachang is a good idea. If the emperor has a woman in his harem, he might have forgotten us Qianqian."

"That's what I mean." The eldest princess said, and looked at Mrs. Han again.

Mrs. Han pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "This matter is easy. Although the first emperor died just now, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he should accept more concubines and extend his heirs with the country and the country as the most important thing - but, the eldest princess thinks that this is the best way to do this." Can the emperor change his mind? If not, the consequences will be disastrous."

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said, "I firmly disagree with Qianqian entering the palace."

Han Rui sighed, shook her head helplessly and said, "Even if Qianqian enters the palace and becomes a queen, wouldn't the emperor accept concubines as well? Once in the palace, how can we expect to be unique?"

Mrs. Han laughed mockingly: "What are you talking about, even if you don't enter the palace, how many women can be the only one? It's just your Ninghou Mansion! Look at the houses of the princes, which one is not a smoky one?" A lot?"

When the topic came to this point, the three of these girls started gossiping about each other, and even glanced aside the original incident.

But Mrs. Han will do what she promises to the end.Besides, Marquis Jinghai also has a deep understanding of the emperor's recent irritable mood, and was thinking about how to channel the monarch's irritable mood. Hearing Madam's words, he immediately understood - the emperor is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is not ready to start a family. time?Whether it is a concubine, a beauty pageant or a queen, this is an imperative thing!
As the former emperor's teacher, Jing Haihou is very different from Taifu Lu Ji. Xiao Lin's grandfather was once the teacher of Emperor Wende. Knowing how to measure, he entered the cabinet not long after Emperor Jinglong succeeded to the throne, and he was the youngest cabinet minister.Now in his sixties, he is highly respected in the court.

On this day, Marquis Jinghai chose a suitable time to meet the emperor.The so-called appropriate timing was when the emperor was in a better mood just after solving the problem of candidates for vacancies in the Ministry of Officials, and he took the initiative to invite Jinghaihou, a capable cabinet minister, to take a walk in the imperial garden.

The light rain in early autumn washes away the heat of summer, and the hibiscus in the imperial garden blooms just right, pink white and purple, sticky powder with dew, really beautiful.

Xiao Lin, Hou of Jinghai, accompanied Yun Shuo for a slow walk among the flowers. Yun Shuo asked him about some political affairs, and Xiao Lin answered them one by one. Xiao Hou Ye was well read in poetry and books, full of economics, and had decades of experience in politics , when it comes to political affairs, it is clear and logical.

Yun Shuo nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and after hearing it, he even silently thought about why his father used An Yihou so much to suppress Jinghaihou, who was more talented and learned?

After talking about the political affairs, Jinghaihou raised his head to look at the gray sky, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say."

"Let's talk." Yun Shuo turned around and entered a gazebo with a rare good temper.

Xiao Lin followed, bowed and said, "I feel that Your Majesty should also think about the future of Dayun Jiangshan Sheji."

"Huh?" Yun Shuo looked back at Xiao Lin suspiciously, unable to understand the meaning of these words for a while.

Xiao Lin cupped his hands with a smile, and slowly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year has already passed, right? How can it be done in this harem with only flowers and no beauties? Even if Your Majesty doesn't want to accept a concubine for a beauty contest, he should choose a suitable woman to stand on the throne." For the queen, for your majesty, take care of the harem chores, and extend your heirs."

Yun Shuo raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Lin, then looked away, sighed and shook his head slightly.He can never tell his ministers that he likes a six or seven-year-old girl, can he?Saying this, this old minister who has read the books of sages and sages is afraid that he will "grab the land with his head"!

Xiao Lin asked again: "Your Majesty hasn't met a woman you like? Don't worry about this, but ask the people in the Ministry of Rites to present the albums of portraits of women of appropriate age in the homes of the ministers, and Your Majesty will choose slowly."

Yun Shuo waved his hand and said, "I have just ascended the throne, and what I am thinking about is how to straighten out the government. As for these things, I have no thoughts for the time being."

"Your Majesty, marriage between a man and a woman is a matter of course. Your Majesty doesn't want to think about it this year, but he will also think about it next year, and the year after that. An early birth of a son is of great significance to the stability of the country. Please think twice, Your Majesty." As Lin spoke, he bowed deeply towards Yun Shuo.

It was rare for Yun Shuo to be in a good mood today, so he was not angry when Xiao Lin said this, but thought seriously for a while, Fang Dan smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty said that there is no rush, but this matter will have to be done sooner or later. Ask the Ministry of Rites to make a book and submit it first?" Xiao Lin saw that the emperor did not lose his temper, so he continued his efforts.

Yun Shuo waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to worry about these things. I'm too busy with serious things."

"This is also easy to handle. After all, these things are not for men to worry about. Whoever your Majesty trusts, you can leave this matter to whoever you trust. If the concubines in the harem are not suitable, the eldest princess outside must be willing to help Yes." Xiao Lin made another good suggestion.

After hearing this, Yun Shuo fell into deep thought.

Xiao Lin waited quietly at the side, until a bird twittered and landed on the flower branch behind Yun Shuo, he suddenly woke up, smiled lightly, and said: "If the eldest princess is willing to worry about my affairs, then Good thing."

"Your Majesty agrees by saying that?" Xiao Lin asked with a smile.

"Let's choose first." Yun Shuo stood up slowly and straightened his sleeves, "However, I already have someone in my heart. If the one you choose doesn't suit my wishes, I don't want it. I would rather have it." A quiet and quiet harem, and I don’t want to see those women fighting each other to the death, making this place a mess.”

"Yes, I understand." Xiao Lin responded with a bow.

The emperor agreed to choose a concubine, which is a good thing for the court ministers.Because they can have a suitable way to please their young emperor!
Before the selection of concubines, the late emperor made it clear that he did not want the daughters of officials of the fourth rank or above in the imperial court. For this, he even did not hesitate to choose beauties from merchants.This makes the ministers in the court really aggrieved-think about it, if the court has any great ceremonies or sacrifices, these self-proclaimed noble princes and ministers have to salute to the humble women, those merchants and the like To use this to become a relative of the emperor, and to walk sideways below and even compare some officials with little real power. How can these bureaucrats who have studied hard for ten years bear it?
However, this matter fell on the head of the eldest princess again. The eldest princess was determined to select all kinds of beauties for the emperor to enter the palace, so as to achieve the purpose of freeing her own daughter, so once this matter is started Doing so caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital.
