Yuan Kang stroked his beard and said nothing, seeming to be thinking about something.
Silent for a long time,
Yuan Kang then spoke slowly: "His Majesty is really good at directing the guards, patrolling and apprehending, and supervising all officials."
"In this way, Jin Yiwei has completely become His Majesty's eyes and ears, and every move in the city cannot escape His Majesty's eyes. Perhaps everything we have done now has been shown in front of His Majesty."
"Perhaps we have all misunderstood. Your Majesty is using lust as a cover to act like a womanizer. Perhaps he has been planning the affairs of the Royal Guards in the palace these past few days."
"Your Majesty may not be as fatuous as we think."
Yuan Kang calmly expressed his analysis.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "But if this is the case, why did your Majesty want to cede Changlin Pass."
"Changlin Pass is the barrier of Daqi. How can such a military important place be ceded to other countries at will? Is Mr. Yuan worried too much?"
Yuan Kang's brows that had just relaxed were frowned again.
"This really doesn't make sense."
"Is it possible that His Majesty has some back-up plan?"
"Or maybe I have misunderstood. His Majesty set up the Imperial Guard just to worry about us doing something bad behind his back."
A group of people gathered together,
After analyzing for a long time, I couldn't guess the reason why Han Lin did this.
It seems that only the word mediocre can explain the past.
But because of the establishment of Jin Yiwei, they did not dare to blatantly say stupid words.
The banquet ended soon,
Everyone also left one after another.
the other side,
Ye Mansion.
Ye Qingqiu also sat opposite Ye Jinglong.
Ye Qingqiu naturally knew about the news that came out of the palace today.
The moment he got the news, Ye Qingqiu approached his father.
Morning court was cancelled, and concubines were selected across the country.
Things unfolded exactly as I remembered.
This foolish king has only been on the throne for a few days, but his true nature has been completely exposed.
This kind of thing is naturally a great blessing to Ye Qingqiu.
What she wants to see most now is for Han Lin to continue to do all kinds of ridiculous things and betray everyone.
By the time,
This is the time for her to rise up.
But for Ye Jinglong, what Han Lin did was tantamount to adding salt to his wounds.
He will devote his whole life to the cause of reviving Daqi.
In the end,
However, such a foolish king appeared in Qi State.
Ye Jinglong was silent for a long time, with an expression of loss and pain on his face.
With a sigh of relief,
Ye Jinglong said: "Qingqiu, do you think my life is worth it?"
"Father, you have done so much for the country of Qi. It is the country of Qi that does not deserve it, and that foolish king does not deserve it!"
"shut up!"
Ye Jinglong suddenly shouted: "He is the king, and we are the ministers. Are you trying to rebel by calling the emperor a fool?!"
"Father, he has completely fallen into the tender land of women. Is there anything wrong with me calling him a fool? Do you still have any hope for him?" Ye Qingqiu also spoke in a somewhat anxious tone.
Ye Jinglong scolded: "I said, you are not allowed to say such words again, at least within this year."
Ye Qingqiu knew his father's temperament.
He also knew his father's feelings for Qi Guo.
Looking at his attitude, he didn't continue to dwell on it.
He could only respond perfunctorily.
.......
Throughout Qi, there are countless wealthy merchants.
Especially Linzi City.
As the capital of Qi State.
There are as many chambers of commerce as there are stars, and their prosperity ranks among the best in the world.
But among them, the four most powerful are the Zhen family, Chen family, Mi family, and Wei family.
These four major merchant families have been doing business for generations and can be said to be extremely wealthy.
At this moment,
Zhen family.
An old man looked at his daughter in front of him and said seriously: "Daughter, you should know the news coming from the palace."
"Your Majesty wants to select a concubine from across the country. I want to send you to the palace to serve His Majesty. I don't know what you think, daughter."
The name of the person who spoke was Zhen Dao, the current head of the Zhen family.
In front of him,
A girl bit her lips lightly, and her white and tender little hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.
There was a look of struggle in his eyes.
to be honest,
She definitely doesn't want to enter the palace.
Once you enter a wealthy family, you are as deep as the sea.
What's more, entering the palace.
But she also knew that if she could be favored by the emperor, the entire Zhen family would benefit greatly from her.
And she didn't want to see her father disappointed.
After a brief struggle, the girl slowly said: "It's all up to my father."
got a reply,
Zhen Dao smiled happily.
Although the major court officials were full of disdain and contempt for Han Lin's actions.
He even said all kinds of stupid words in private.
But for a business family,
If someone really can enter the palace, then the pheasant will turn into a phoenix.
The whole family can move to the next level.
Now a great opportunity lies before us,
Of course they have to fight for it.
Such a scene,
It doesn’t just happen in the Zhen family.
Even the Chen family, the Wei family, the Mi family, and other small and poor families are all thinking about how to make their daughters fall in love with His Majesty.
........
"Lao Zhang, why are you here too?"
"My daughter is as beautiful as a flower. Of course I will come. If she is chosen, my old Zhang family will be prosperous. From now on, the family tree will start from me!"
"Pull him down. I'm not the one attacking you. As your daughter, you should go home and stop humiliating yourself."
"Made, is your daughter pretty? That big face is bigger than my millstone, and her face is full of pockmarks. Even if your majesty is blind, he won't look down on your daughter."
"Are you looking for death? Keep your mouth clean!"
"You think I'm scared, I'm afraid of you!"
"Quiet! Be honest! Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be disqualified from registration!"
.......
"Old Zhou, you are so unkind. Yesterday you shouted like a fool, and you brought your daughter here today?"
"Ahem! How have I ever said such a thing before? Your Majesty is an eternal wise king. Please don't slander me here."
"Damn it, why have I never seen you so shameless before? Yesterday you were a fool and shouted like a fool, but today you have become a wise king? But then again, with your daughter's beauty, maybe she really has a chance."
"No, in the past two years, the matchmakers have almost crossed the threshold of my family. As for my daughter, it is not easy to enter the palace."
"How can you shine brightly even if I give you a little sunshine? Our village is the only one that can be ranked high. Looking at the whole country, it doesn't matter. The young lady from Mr. Zhen's family is beautiful."
Linzi is the capital of Qi State.
The news that Han Lin wanted to choose a concubine was not only conveyed the fastest, but also the first to be officially implemented.
The day after the announcement,
There is already a long queue at the registration office.
Anyone who has a daughter of school age at home brings their daughter to line up to sign up.
I hope that my family will be able to leap over the dragon gate with my daughter.
However, although many people signed up, not even 10% were selected in the end.
And this is just the primary election.
More detailed screening will be done later.
After all, this is selecting a concubine for the emperor, and appearance is only the most basic criterion.
besides,
Requirements also include body shape, skills, etiquette, etc.
In fact, there was an age requirement in the beginning.
Must be a female of appropriate age between 13 and 16 years old.
But at this age,
Han Lin really couldn't get interested.
In ancient times, it might be appropriate.
But for Han Lin, it was too small.
When I was young, I didn't know how good my sister was, and mistook a lolita for a treasure.
According to Han Lin's idea, it is from the age of eighteen to the age of thirty-six, which highlights a loose condition.
Finally, with Eunuch Wei’s strong persuasion,
It was changed to eighteen to twenty-four years old.
And he doesn’t lose his origin.
This gave countless civilians the opportunity to sign up.
Otherwise, only those with relatively good backgrounds will be screened.
