Lunu City, the Royal Palace.
Li Yunze, who looked calm, looked around at the many spectators on both sides below and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
A gentleman like him would be surrounded by people to watch the selection of the queen. It was really a deterioration in the world.
According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the queen and the queen mother are responsible for such things. The carefully selected beauties are sent to the bed, and the king only works as a ramming machine.
But this time the emperor Liu Qi simply skipped this step and simply sent all the candidates to Lunucheng for Li Yunze to make the decision himself.
The ostensible reason was that Zhongshan Kingdom was far away, which would save Prince Sheng from the long journey back to Chang'an City.
However, in fact, Liu Qi wanted to avoid interference.
Liu Qi has personal experience in this kind of thing.
His queen, Empress Bo, was married just to earn impression points in front of Empress Dowager Bo.
It's a pity that Queen Bo's appearance is not good enough and she is not favored by the visual animal Liu Qi, so she is now on the verge of being deposed.
The reason why Queen Bo hasn't been deposed yet is not because Liu Qi showed mercy. In fact, a creature like the Emperor never had any mercy at all.
The only purpose of keeping Queen Bo was to use her as a target to help attract firepower.
What Liu Qi was most worried about was that Empress Dowager Dou would do this to him and designate the daughter of the Dou family as the queen to whom the prince would win.
After all, Liu Qi knew very well that he might be able to hide his thoughts from most people, but he could not hide his thoughts from Empress Dowager Dou.
His intention to support Li Yunze to rise to power was already very obvious to Queen Mother Dou.
Although the Queen Mother is blind, she understands very well in her heart.
So this time, we simply sent all the candidates directly to Lunu to avoid the possibility of interference by relatives and nobles.
The candidates sent this time have nothing to do with the relatives and nobles, and they are all from local wealthy families.
Liu Qi had really good intentions in order to prevent Li Yunze from being interfered by his relatives.
Before the beauties entered the palace, Shi Fen, who was solely responsible for this matter, stepped forward with a smile on his face and handed the thick album in his hand to Li Yunze.
The reason for having a picture album is very simple. Li Yunze is choosing a queen, not a Na'vi.
If you are a Na'vi, you don't need to go to such trouble at all. You can just ride a carriage into the palace.
But choosing a queen is very serious and requires a very, very detailed understanding.
According to the thick picture album on the desk in front of him, Li Yunze sighed inaudibly, "I didn't want it either, you forced me to do it." '
When you open the album wrapped in silk and satin, you will see pictures of beauties painted on silk cloth.
There were painters before the advent of paper, but they did not paint on bamboo slips, but on silk cloth.
Although it is not as realistic, the appearance of the portrait can still be seen clearly.
Of course, the portraits are not the focus, the focus is the family history records and character introductions.
Zhuo Wenjun was born in Linqiong, Shu County. '
'My father is the grandson of Wang Zhuo, a wealthy man in Shu County, and his ancestral home is Handan'
Li Yunze didn't pay attention to the subsequent family introduction, because the name Zhuo Wenjun was enough.
There were many famous girls in the Western Han Dynasty, such as Lu Fei, Dou Yifang, Zhao Feiyan sisters, Chen Ajiao, Wei Zifu, Wang Zhaojun and so on.
But when it comes to the one with the most prominent reputation in later generations, it must be Zhuo Wenjun.
Not only because Zhuo Wenjun is a talented woman, but more importantly, the story of her love-hate relationship with the scumbag has been spread to later generations and attracted countless people.
A story about a talented girl from a rich family who fell in love with a pretty boy, but was eventually abandoned by the pretty boy. When I saw the title, I wanted to click on it and read it carefully.
Li Yunze smiled slightly and motioned to Shi Fen, "Please invite Mr. Zhuo into the palace."
Shi Fen remained calm, nodded slightly, turned around and called outside, "Daughter of the Zhuo family in Linqiong, Shu County, enter the palace~~~"
Young Zhuo Wenjun, wearing a dark-colored Hanfu, slowly walked into the hall with his head lowered, and saluted Li Yunze.
"Daughter of the Zhuo family in Linqiong, Shu County, pays homage to the king~~~"
At this time, Zhuo Wenjun was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his voice was crisp.
A set of black and bright hair is combed into long hair and locked with a jade hairpin.
She is wearing a traditional Han Dynasty deep garment with a curved train and a wide waistband, with a floor-length skirt underneath.
The color combination of black on top and red on the bottom is very consistent with the aesthetics of the big man at this time.
"Keep your head up."
After hearing Li Yunze's voice, Zhuo Wenjun put his hands up and down parallel to his body, slowly raised his head and looked at Li Yunze.
Red lips, white teeth, picturesque eyebrows.
Her skin is very fair, and she is undoubtedly beautiful.
In fact, Zhuo Wangsun sent Zhuo Wenjun to Chang'an City to participate in the draft of Prince Liu Rong.
But Liu Rong's fate was not good, and the crown prince position was abolished before the draft started.
She originally planned to return to Shu County. If nothing else happened, she would find a suitable family in her hometown and get married. When she is seventeen or eighteen years old, she will be widowed and return to her parents' home. In a few years, someone will introduce her to the Phoenix man Sima Xiangru. Then it’s the story of a scumbag and a talented woman
.
But this time, many beauties who were preparing to participate in the prince's draft were told before going home that the emperor intended to select a queen for the King of Zhongshan, and they hoped that everyone could take the initiative to participate.
Zhuo Wenjun's fate took a turn here. Prince Desk thought that if her daughter couldn't marry a prince, it would be good to be the king's queen.
So he spent a lot of money to put Zhuo Wenjun on the waiting list, and also went out of his way to visit Shi Fen, thus getting the treatment of first place in the album.
Because there are living examples such as the Lu family, the Bo family, and the Dou family in front of them, the Han people are keen to be related to the royal family and become relatives. After all, the treatment of relatives is so good.
As long as they become relatives, basically their father, brothers and nephews will all be granted the title of marquis, thus becoming a member of the nobility in one step.
This is thousands of times better than being a wealthy businessman in the local area.
The rich and powerful local businessmen can dominate the local area and smooth things over.
But once you encounter a cruel official who lands in the air, the family will be destroyed in just a blink of an eye.
Even if you are lucky and don't meet cruel officials, being selected and moved to Chang'an is still a fatal matter.
The most numerous people in Chang'an City were the royal relatives and meritorious nobles. They sharpened their knives against cattle and sheep, and the powerful foreign dragons were either brutally slaughtered, or simply died.
Therefore, marrying the royal family not only leads to wealth and glory, but also serves as a talisman.
In addition to wealthy businessmen and powerful people, the same is true for folk women.
Whenever the royal family recruits beauties, there will be a lot of divorces among the people, probably because the girls want to climb high branches and fly to the sycamore tree.
The most typical example of this is Wang Meiren Wang Nan.
Not only was she in harmony, she even had a child before.
But so what, in history, she still became the queen mother, and her brothers and sisters all became prosperous, and they were awarded the title of prince, wealth and glory.
The reason why this kind of thing happens is that on the one hand, the atmosphere of this era is very open, which is far less harsh than the era of ethics in later generations.
The more important reason is that the old Liu family has not tabooed meat and vegetables since Liu Bang.
As long as the girl is beautiful enough and has an attractive figure, they don't care about her origins and will just accept her.
You must know that the biological mother of Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Fei is a widow.
This tradition has really been passed down, causing scenes of joys and sorrows among the people.
In the final analysis, the royal family only covets the bodies of beautiful people, and the beauties also seek the royal power and wealth.
No one should laugh at this kind of thing, everyone has their own agenda.
Love brains like Li Ji are rare.
If she had one-tenth of Wang Quan's calculations and utilitarianism, Liu She would have nothing to worry about.
Turning back to talking, Li Yunze nodded towards Shi Fen.
Shi Fende was highly respected, and his reputation spread among the court and the public, so naturally he would not accept gifts from Zhuo Wangsun.
But he didn't accept gifts, but it was an indisputable fact that his family accepted gifts from Zhuo Wangsun.
Now that you have received the gift, you have to do something.
Even if she is not chosen as the princess by the king, she must at least have the corresponding status.
Seeing that Li Yunze was very satisfied with Zhuo's daughter, Shi Fen was relieved of the pressure in his heart.
'Finally, it's a matter of being entrusted by others. '
The beauties at the back entered one by one, and there was no doubt that they were all above the standard. The flowers and scenery were so beautiful.
The crowd of people watching in the main hall were also staring at it with envy.
It was as if Lord Fuyan was thinking in his heart at this time, 'I must assist the king to ascend to the great throne, create a foundation for eternity, expand the power of Han Dynasty to the world, and achieve the feat of becoming a prince! '
After becoming a marquis, you can enjoy the glory and wealth.
The beauties entered the palace to pay their respects one by one. Li Yunze felt a little numb after watching for a long time.
Although these beauties are all above average, Li Yunze is used to seeing stunning beauties. He has ridden and fallen in love with even the four beauties, so naturally he is a little tired of aesthetics.
Except for Zhuo Wenjun, who attracted his interest with his talent, name and stories, he really didn't care much about the other beauties.
After finally waiting for hundreds of beauties to enter the palace and see them, this time it was finally time to meet Zhenzhang.
Shi Fen stepped forward and whispered a few questions in Li Yunze's ear.
Li Yunze nodded, reached out and tapped on Zhuo Wenjun's portrait, "That's her."
Facing a look of satisfaction, Shi Fen walked out of the main hall and came to the side hall where beauties gathered.
The beauties, who were silent and even vaguely hostile to each other, all focused their attention on the old man with white beard and hair.
It can be said that their future destiny will have to be decided.
If you are favored by the king and become a queen, you will naturally enjoy endless glory and wealth.
But if you are not noticed.
Shi Fen, who had long since lost all desires, felt very calm when facing the eager gazes of so many beauties.
He coughed and said, "The king has made a decision, and the daughter of the Zhuo family in Linqiong, Shu County, will be the queen."
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Zhuo Wenjun turned pale.
Then he looked at Zhuo Wenjun with unabashed envy, jealousy and hatred.
The difference in life and destiny is determined by these words!
When Shi Fen returned to Li Yunze, Li Yunze told him, "You ladies have taken the trouble to come to Zhongshan Kingdom. Give each of them twenty brocade pieces, arrange chariots and horses to escort them, and send them home."
After saying that, Li Yunze planned to get up and leave.
But Shi Fen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, when I came, the Emperor had a message. He knew that there was no one in the palace, and ordered all these ladies to stay in the palace."
Li Yunze'(⊙ｏ⊙)'
