Chapter 411 The Crown Prince Wants to Take a Concubine

Among them, the most important one is still the establishment of a direct descendant.In order to prevent the last Six Kings Rebellion in the Xia Dynasty, Wu Taizu established the rule that the legitimate son should be crowned prince at the age of eight.It is a rule that the prince should marry the main concubine after five years and then take the concubine. This means that if you can't give birth to a child in five years, then don't blame others.If there is no legitimate son, then the person will grow up.

When the princes came of age, they were granted kingships and fiefdoms. The fiefdoms of the princes were no more than counties, and the number of their troops was no more than a thousand. They could not enter the capital without an imperial edict.The king's title is reduced to the title, and it is not hereditary.

When I read that the standards for emperors and kings to select concubines were official ladies of fifth rank or above.

Xue Ying said loudly, "I have a proposal."

Uncle Ye was stunned, looking at Wu Taizu in bewilderment.

The queen was startled and looked at Xueying, thinking: What else is she trying to do?

Wu Taizu looked at Xue Ying, and asked with a pleasant face: "What suggestion does Xue Er have?"

All the clansmen looked at it dumbfounded, thinking that this was really unbelievable.They didn't expect Xueying to dare to interrupt Nian Zongrui, let alone Wu Taizu asking so kindly.

"The emperor's selection of concubines and the selection of concubines by the kings must not be high-ranking officials or the daughters of aristocratic families. If the queen or concubine is the daughter of a noble family or a high-ranking official, the later family cannot control it. Foreign relatives will be in power, and it is just around the corner. The power will also increase greatly, and it will be difficult to control in the future, and military power restrictions exist in name only. Therefore, I propose that concubines should only choose the daughters of official families below the fourth rank." Xueying said calmly.

"You let me think about it, third brother! Put this one on hold first. You can read it later." Taizu Wu said with a frown.

The queen was very depressed, and said to herself: Does this Xueying have enmity with the aristocratic family or something?Always for the family.I was thinking of marrying a girl from the Yang family to be Quanying's side concubine.It might be a mess now.

Both Li and Fu prayed in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would listen to Xueying's words.When girls from officials' families below the fourth rank come in, it will be much easier for them to clean up.If it were to be replaced by a girl from a noble family or a girl from the Marquis's family, they would not dare to suppress it easily, because they couldn't continue to suppress it.

Uncle Ye calmed down and continued to read.

When it comes to the fact that members of the royal family are not allowed to take imperial examinations and are not allowed to do business.

Xueying said again: "I have objections."

Uncle Ye stopped knowingly.Sure enough, Taizu Wu asked, "What's wrong?"

"After the kings descended to the Five Dynasties, these members of the royal family can't be officials, can't do business, and have no land. How can they make a living? Does the grandfather want them to be beggars? I think there must be a time limit for this article. The descendants of the kings, when they arrive In the fourth generation, this rule can be exempted." Xueying said.

Uncle Ye thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case, and hurriedly said: "Xueying is right, for the sake of future generations, this is really a good thing to change."

He has to think about his great-grandchildren.

Ye Pingying thought, Xueying was right!He hurriedly said: "Grandfather, please think twice!"

Taizu Wu stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Then change it as Xueer said."

The two princes touched the cold sweat on their foreheads, and looked at Xueying gratefully.They really didn't expect this to be a big problem.

Uncle Ye continued to recite the sect's rules. He read with fear, and the clan members listened with fear, all waiting for Xueying to have objections again.

Later, I read the regulations on carriages, horses, guards of honor, and palace utensils.Xueying didn't bother to care about such details.

Later, I read about the clan members who broke the law and were judged by the clan order, as well as the various crimes and corresponding punishments.

Xueying just listened, she was too lazy to care about this, this is a royal privilege and cannot be changed.Do you really want the prince to break the law and commit the same crime as the common people?That is impossible.It would be nice to have Zong Ling and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in charge.

After finishing the reading, Taizu Wu nodded and said: "From now on, this will be the standard for the time being. If there is any change, we will notify you later."

The tribe agreed in unison.

Wu Taizu said: "Xue'er, please take a copy back and read it again. If there is anything wrong, come to the palace and tell me."

Xueying stepped forward to accept the sect's rules.

All the clansmen were shocked when they saw it. They knew that Wu Taizu loved Xueying, but they didn't expect to love Xueying to such an extent.

Wu Taizu asked the prince and Quanying to stay, and the others dispersed.

The three of them naturally hid in the imperial study to discuss what kind of concubine they should marry.

Wu Taizu asked: "Tell me, what kind of concubine should you marry?"

The prince was also thinking about this all the way, and said: "There are two advantages of marrying a woman from a family. One is that the prince can easily get the support of powerful courtiers when he is young. The other is that a woman from a family is good at managing the rear house and can easily enter the harem. The disadvantages are like snow. As my son said, it is easy but difficult to control."

Quan Ying thought deeply: "If there are more noble daughters from aristocratic families in the palace, it will be even more difficult to control each other, and the emperor will not be able to deal with it. Because if they make any move, the court will be involved. Daughters from aristocratic families are good at managing the back house. She is also good at fighting in the back house. Women of low rank and not from aristocratic families do not have this disadvantage. Even if a fierce fight occurs, the emperor can handle it as he wants and it will not cause turmoil in the government."

Wu Taizu nodded after hearing this and said: "If you are worried that the prince is young and helpless, then what does the emperor do? You don't need to take this too seriously."

"If you want to restrain your relatives from being in power, even if you marry a low-rank official lady, you should limit the rank of the concubine's family after you marry, otherwise it is empty talk." Quan Ying laughed.

"Yes, Quan Ying is right." Wu Taizu nodded.

"You can be promoted to a noble but not an official." The prince said.

"Do you all agree with Xue'er?" Wu Taizu asked.

The prince and his son both nodded.

"Then change it." Wu Taizu waved and said.

A few days later, Taizu Wu saw that Xueying had no further objections, so he re-engraved the revised royal clan regulations, offered them in the ancestral temple, and distributed a copy to each family in the clan.

The princess began to spread rumors that she wanted to accept two side concubines for the prince, and started looking for suitable families in Beijing.Mrs. Fu spread the word that she wanted to accept two side wives for Mr. Quan Guo.

The number of guests in the East Palace and Duke Quan's Mansion immediately increased.Every day, groups of wives bring their daughters to visit the Crown Princess and Mrs. Fu.

The aristocratic families and nobles all over the capital watched this big bustle with depression.

They were all waiting for the emperor to change the clan rules so that they could compete for these positions, but they were disturbed by the eldest princess' words.Now that the clan rules have been changed, the royal harem will have nothing to do with them.

The fourth to seventh rank officials in the capital were all excited, especially the daughter at home who was well-raised.Four positions, can always get one, right?If you can't get a concubine or a concubine, it would be a good idea to put a daughter in as a concubine.

Li and Fu are both confused, there are thousands of fourth to seventh rank officials in the capital.There are three to 4000 Miss Officials.There are 400 talented and good-looking people aside from the ordinary ones.

The ladies who the ladies dare to bring to their homes are all quite beautiful.

Xueying joined in the fun and went to see Duke Quan's mansion. The girls who participated in the election were all like celebrities and school beauties.She didn't dare to go to the East Palace, but if she dared to go there to watch the fun, Mrs. Li would definitely beat her up.

As soon as Xueying left, Mrs. Fu greeted her with a jewel in her arms and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Xueying smiled and said, "I'm here to see the excitement."

Fu said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
