Chapter 187 What is your dream

Zhugejin couldn't adapt to Zhang Lan's completely different aura from before, so she could only bite the bullet and tell Zhang Lan.

"Wu Wang was bestowed by His Majesty, so I would like to dedicate Jiujiang County to Your Majesty as a dowry."

Now Zhuge Jin's words are a little messy, and even the dowry has come out.

It made a group of officials want to laugh, but it was inappropriate in such a formal and serious occasion, so I could only hold back.

"Cough cough" Zhang Lan coughed lightly, and forced a smile to say, "I already know King Wu's intentions, but which county is suitable for the handover?"

Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Zhuge Jin's heart trembled suddenly, thinking secretly, "I am a worthless guy, since I almost forgot such an important thing"

Afterwards, Zhuge Jin hurriedly adjusted his mentality and said, "The king of Wu is now fighting against the thief Sun Ce, and he is temporarily unable to dispatch troops. He can only temporarily give a few places around Hefei to His Majesty for his dispatch. When Sun Ce is destroyed, Jiujiang County will be given full power." I hope His Majesty will forgive you."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Lan frowned, stared at Zhuge Jin for a long time, and then slowly said, "Could it be that King Wu is deceiving me?"

Zhuge Jin's heart tightened immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Don't dare, it's just that King Wu only has one place in Jiujiang, and he needs to use it to resist Sun Ce for His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will make amends."

"Hahahaha, I don't know about this. I was joking with you just now. How about it? If I help King Wu conquer a county, I will take Jiujiang county, okay?"

"This"

"Huh?" Zhang Lan didn't get angry, she was arrogant, a burst of coercion fell on Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin suddenly felt uneasy.

However, Zhuge Jin still did not forget his mission in the end, so he bit the bullet and said, "One county and one county are too troublesome. Why don't you wait until Wu County is captured, and then hand over the entire Jiujiang County to Your Majesty"

The scene was suddenly quiet again.

"Your Majesty will definitely not deceive the King of Wu with his golden words. Doesn't the King of Wu still believe in His Majesty?"

It was Guo Jia who was speaking. Seeing this situation, he knew it was time to stand up, so he took a step forward and said to Zhuge Jin, "If we cross the Yangtze River, the battle line will be too long, and it will be difficult for our great republic." If you get supplies, if the army and horses don’t get food and supplies, how can you defeat the bandit soldiers?”

"King Wu is willing to offer food and grass to His Majesty, please rest assured."

"That's right," Zhang Lan thought to herself

Originally, Zhang Lan didn't expect Sun Quan to give up the land. The ultimate goal was food and grass. Originally, he just wanted to get a new city to build a foundation during the battle. Now Sun Quan is willing to provide food and grass. This is enough for Sun Quan to consume power. At that time, Sun Quan didn't have much supplies from the rear, and it would be much easier to gather Sun Quan at that time.

"Well, since the King of Wu is so sincere, then I will not be stingy. I passed on my will and ordered Pang De to be the main general. He will lead [-] troops to Hefei as a foundation to help the King of Wu fight against Sun Ce."

"Your Majesty"

All the ministers came together for a loud flattery.

Zhuge Jin also followed suit, and he finally completed his task. Although he did get all his old background out, he finally lived up to Sun Quan's expectations and invited Zhang Lan's reinforcements.

After retiring from the court, Li Ru went directly to meet Zhang Lan.

"Your Majesty, the selection of the concubine has been completed, please Your Majesty to make the final selection."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Zhang Lan felt a headache, he shook his head helplessly, and asked, "How many people are left?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a total of 30 women have been selected"

"Pfft!" Zhang Lan sprayed tea again, "What, so much?"

"Your Majesty is the Holy King of Heaven. The family and the common people all admire him. Now that His Majesty accepts a concubine, he naturally scrambles to send his own daughter there. There were originally 243 candidates, and this is already a small number of people selected."

Li Ru was also a little helpless, he knew that Zhang Lan didn't really want to accept concubines, and now that there were so many at once, it was indeed a bit overwhelming.

However, among the 30 people, all of them are talented and handsome, and he really doesn't know how to select them. In his opinion, it is enough for Zhang Lan to accept them all. Thirty people, Not much for a monarch.

Zhang Lan rubbed her temples and said, "Okay, okay, you order someone to make arrangements, I'll wait in the imperial study, come one by one"

"According to the purpose"

Li Ru retreated, Zhang Lan came to the imperial study room, picked up the scroll in his hand, looked at it absent-mindedly, and waited for the person arranged by Li Ru to arrive.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li has already brought people here."

A guard walked into the house and said.

After Zhang Lan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he did not use eunuchs. There were no eunuchs in the palace except for the guards and maids, and he did not plan to carry out the policy of destroying human nature of eunuchs again in the future.

Therefore, most of the people who sent word to guard Zhang Lan were his confidants.

"Well, let's start"

"Yes"

The guard turned and left, then came to Li Ru and whispered a few words.

Li Ru asked the women to line up in order, and began to enter the imperial study room one by one.

"Minister Chu Yue pays homage to Your Majesty"

Zhang Lan put down the scroll in her hand and glanced at the woman in front of her.

Not to mention, Li Ru's vision is indeed good, even if this woman is compared with Dong Yu and Diao Chan, she is only a little bit worse.

"Get up and sit down"

Zhang Lan kept the chair and motioned for the woman to sit down.

"Menwomen dare not"

Zhang Lan frowned, and said with some displeasure, "If you are told to sit, you can sit down. Do you still have to resist the order?"

Who would have thought that Chu Yue knelt down with a thud, "I don't dare, please Your Majesty make amends."

"Hey..." Looking at Chu Yue who was trembling on the ground, Zhang Lan felt a little helpless, so she simply said, "You go down first, call the next one."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Yue stood up very aggrieved, bowed to Zhang Lan and retreated.

A moment later, another woman came in from the door, still considered beautiful.

However, Zhang Lan has been with Dong Yu and Diao Chan for a long time, so his immunity to beauties has also increased a lot, and now that he is an emperor, naturally he will not have too much pity for these beauties.

"Minister Bai Rong met His Majesty"

"Sit" Zhang Lan just spit out this word this time.

However, this woman was also very generous, she saluted Zhang Lan again and said "Thank you, Your Majesty"

After speaking, he sat down dignifiedly.

"Well, I have everyone's demeanor," Zhang Lan thought in her heart

"Whose family do you belong to?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, my father is a merchant, and he will not be known by His Majesty, and his name will be in vain."

The woman's speech was very flat, since she didn't feel nervous at all.

"What is your aspiration?
As soon as these words came out, the woman named Bai Rong in front of Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment.

"dream?"
