Great Wei Nengchen

In the history books, there are many records about 'Chi Youya', known as 'hard as a diamond, white as jade, sharp as a sword', it is an indestructible ancient sacred object, and also a treasure of China. There are legends about it There are more stories, enough to write another fantasy novel!

As for the origin of 'Chi Youya', it is also complicated. Some people say that this is the fang of the 'devil god' Chi You, because in myths and legends, Chi You is a monster with the head of a cow and wings on his back, and a pair of extremely sharp fangs. The fangs can chew sand and stones and devour ferocious beasts. They are extremely powerful. Later, in the battle for the deer, the Yellow Emperor used the "Xuanyuan Sword" to cut off two of Chi You's fangs, and then captured and killed the demon god!

For this, Xiao Yi expressed doubts. The ancients liked "mythical heroes, demonized heroes". Even if Chi You was taller and mightier, he was still a human race after all. How could he grow fangs? In contrast, another This kind of legend is more believable!

According to legend, in ancient times, a monster suddenly appeared in the Dongyi area where the Jiuli tribe lived. The hunters went to catch them, but none succeeded. Instead, they became food for the monsters in vain. For a while, people panicked and the people wailed!

Chi You was still a young boy at that time, but he was extremely brave. Holding a spear and carrying a bow and arrow, he rushed into the wilderness alone, searching day and night, and after nine days and nine nights of fierce fighting, he finally killed the monster and took it down. Two fangs, as his own spoils, returned to the tribe!

Seeing that Chi You was so brave and capable of killing ferocious beasts, the people of the tribe elected him as the "King of Jiuli" and ordered the tribes in all directions. The two monster's fangs hung on Chi You's neck and became the king of Jiuli. Its status symbol is similar to that of the emperor's jade seal!

Xiao Yi also has the habit of taking off his fangs to make pendants after hunting ferocious beasts, but he gave all four of his fangs to the women around him. His chest has been empty for a long time, and now he has a pair of mighty fangs. Immediately he frowned, and asked someone to give him a piece of animal tendon, braided two 'Chi You's teeth' with his own hands, and hung it around his neck. It really looked majestic and majestic, like an ancient barbarian!

"Roar! ~ Demon God! - Demon God!"

In front of Chiyou's tomb, countless people cheered loudly, celebrating that their Jiuli tribe had a new king, and he was a resourceful, brave and skilled demon god!

"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, and the blood of the demon god lasts forever!" Xiao Yi looked up at the night sky, stroked the four directions with his hands, a kind of invisible energy flowed through his blood, at this moment, he was really Chi You reborn!

629. Chapter 629 Choosing a Concubine

There is a time in the world, the four seasons change, the swan geese fly south, the north wind gradually rises, and a heavy snow falls, announcing the arrival of cold winter to the world!

In the city of Xuchang, the wind was bitter and the dripping water turned into ice. In previous years, when encountering such bad weather, people hid at home and gathered around the brazier to keep warm. This year was an exception. The streets and alleys were full of people, including some dignitaries and carriages. , and came and went in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, although the cold wind was cold, there was a flame burning in people's hearts, just for a piece of news...'The emperor is going to make a queen! '

As far as ordinary people are concerned, it is not sloppy at all to marry a wife and have children, let alone the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is planning to confer the title of empress. As the saying goes, "the ancestral temple of the Shangshi, the successor of the descendants", this is a major event related to the inheritance of the national destiny of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the descendants. How can you take it lightly!

All of a sudden, the situation was turbulent. Those who had daughters in the families of civil and military officials, from the [-]th to the [-]th, and the next to just can walk, all groomed and dressed beautifully. They began to learn court etiquette, and strived to cultivate a little bit in the shortest time. Come on with the temperament of 'mother's world'!

If you don't have a daughter of the right age in your family, you can use nieces, cousins, nieces... girls from relatives to make up the number. What about the child?

Simple, the wisdom of the ancients tells us...you can also take dry daughters. There are also many beautiful women in the folk. After washing and dressing, as long as you can climb the emperor's dragon bed, who cares whether you came down from the plane tree or the chicken coop Don't forget, the last Empress He was still a butcher at home?

All the officials tried their best to send their daughter to the little emperor's dragon bed. Apart from hoping that a big Han queen would be born in the family to honor the clan, they also had their eyes on a layer of identity~~relatives!

Anyone with a bit of historical knowledge knows that in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, foreign relatives were frequent visitors on the political stage, especially since Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and the queen mother was in charge of the dynasty, foreign relatives played an important role. It is not an exaggeration to say that power is in the hands of the government and the public~~ Huo Guang, Liang Ji, Dou Xian, He Jin, these successful models tell the world that foreign relatives are really promising!

…………………………………………………………………………

"Zhou Rituals" records that marriage is a major event, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words. The little emperor's parents have already lived in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, so his marriage is naturally decided by his only sister...Princess Haiyan, as for the little emperor The emperor himself, wash up, and prepare to enter the bridal chamber with the empress whom he has never met in a nervous mood!

In the palace, in the Wushou Garden, although Princess Haiyan married Cao Ang, she did not live in the prime minister's mansion, but still lived in the imperial city. Both parties knew this well, and no one raised any objections!

A lot of red posts were placed in front of the princess, all of which were information about the daughters of civil and military officials. The records were very detailed, including the girl's family background, date of birth, appearance, body type, personality and hobbies...

"The family background is too weak to assist the government ~~ Abandon it!"

"The character is too cowardly, it is difficult to command the harem~~ abandon it!"

"The body is too petite, it is difficult to have children~~ throw it away!"

"Hmm~, this is good, with a strong background, a strong personality, and a good figure~~ Unfortunately, the horoscope is too hard, with the appearance of Kefu~~ Discard it!"

..................................................................

Princess Haiyan read it for more than two hours, her neck was sore and her eyes were starry, so she had to pat her forehead with her bare hands to cheer herself up, while the maid Lingling massaged her shoulders to relieve her fatigue!

Choosing a concubine is not a simple matter. According to the Han royal system, the emperor has a queen, nobles, and more than ten beauties. Dozens, hundreds at most, without any restrictions, some licentious emperors, 3000 beauties in the harem, is not uncommon, and it is a real number, no wonder the emperors are short-lived, their bodies have been hollowed out!

These women, in addition to bearing children for the royal family, are also an important political resource. Once they are selected into the palace and are favored by the emperor, their families will become foreign relatives, and they will share honor and disgrace with the royal family. Up several steps in a row!

Now that the world is in chaos, the imperial power is declining, and there are treacherous heroes controlling the government, Princess Haiyan hopes to use this opportunity to choose a concubine to win over a few powerful ministers, so as to assist the government and make the little emperor's seat more stable. The problem is, such People are hard to find!

"Why haven't I seen a girl with the surname Xiao? Doesn't 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' have a younger sister? It is said that she has a strong temper and looks like Nai brother. Insufficient, but being a nobleman is more than enough, just to make up for His Majesty's weak temperament!"

Princess Haiyan had heard about it a long time ago, that Xiao Yi loved her sister very much, she regarded her as the jewel in her palm, and personally taught Wen Tao and martial arts. 10,000+ army, that is a powerful force that can turn the world upside down!

Furthermore, there is no close relationship. Once the girl from the Xiao family becomes the emperor's concubine, Xiao Yi will also become the 'uncle of the country'. Such a sensitive identity will definitely make Cao Cao suspicious. If there is a gap between the two , Another meeting of swordsmen, for the royal family of the Han Dynasty, it will be of great benefit and no harm!

"Returning to the master, the matter of choosing a concubine for His Majesty has been announced to all civil and military officials a long time ago. Governor Xiao is far away in Xuzhou, and he also sent a special messenger, but he..." The maid Lingling hesitated to speak, and her face was also full of confusion. Anger is not anger, half a smile is not a smile!

"It is a great honor to be a concubine in the palace, and the family is full of wealth and honor, and all women in the world yearn for it. Could it be that Xiao Yi is reluctant to part with his younger sister?" Princess Haiyan has been paying attention to the girl named 'Xiao Jing' for a long time, even The position of concubine was assigned to her by default, which is considered a high position under one person and above ten thousand people!

"Returning to the master, Xiao Lang is really reluctant to part with his younger sister. He tore up the decree of choosing a concubine face to face, and beat up the envoy who went to pass the decree. He also said..." Lingling's face darkened. If you can't choose a concubine, it's for something else!

"The wolves in the imperial city drink blood, the imperial steps are full of dangers, and the concubines want to pamper the harem, and the kind women will become bloodthirsty Rakshasas. Even if he marries his sister to an ordinary person, he will never enter the palace to suffer. It’s not a place for people to stay, let alone a noble concubine, even an empress would not care… He also asked the envoy to tell His Highness that a girl from the Xiao family will never enter the palace!”

"Hehe, as expected of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', he has far-reaching intentions, but he also sees blood for a while..., jackals drink blood, and there are dangers everywhere. He is indeed right, the palace is really not a place for people!" Princess Haiyan smiled wryly, He has lived in the palace since he was a child, and has witnessed countless ugliness and darkness. He is already half human and half ghost!

"Hey, if there is an afterlife, I will never enter the palace!"

..........................................................................................

There are thousands of choices, the best is the best, just like a big wave washing the sand, three "birthday posts" were selected, Fu Shou, Dong Wan, Cao Xian, if nothing else, one of the three girls will become the Han Dynasty The queen, together with the emperor, accepts the pilgrimage of all peoples, and mothers the world!

"The background, background, appearance, and talent of the three girls are all outstanding, but there is only one queen. Who should get it?"

Princess Haiyan's eyes turned, and she began to think over and over again. She knew very well that behind the three girls, there was a strong father, and that was their greatest political capital?

Fu Shou's father is Fu Wan, a well-known loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He is also resourceful and resourceful. Within reason!

Dong Wan's elder brother is Dong Cheng, who comes from a famous family and is considered loyal to the Han Dynasty. The most important thing is that he is one of the very few generals who are not attached to Cao Cao. The military has a certain influence. If it can be supported, it will indeed be a great help to the emperor, and it can also share the power of the Cao family!

Cao Xian's father is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and a traitor in troubled times. If his daughter is made the empress, it can indeed ease the conflict between the palace and the prime minister's house. In a short period of time, it can also ensure the safety of the little emperor's dragon chair, isn't it? The disadvantages are also obvious, right?

Cao Cao is now in control of the military and political power of the imperial court. He is a veritable "uncrowned king". With political capital, you can better control the imperial court. Don't forget, Wang Mang, the rebel who usurped the Han, was also the head of the country!

Weighing the pros and cons, thinking over and over again, the three 'birthday posts' swirled in Princess Haiyan's mind, how to choose~~~~ "Hey, it's her that should be interrupted, but suffer from it instead!"

630. Chapter 630 Pity the hearts of parents in the world

Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study!

"Pay homage to father, for longevity and well-being!" The Cao family's children, old and young, came forward to kneel and salute one by one. Even a few nursing babies were held by their mothers, and they went forward and gave a gentle blessing!

"Goodness, everything is safe for the father, the children have a heart!" Cao Cao's face was as calm as water, and he accepted the kneeling of his children calmly. After a few months, the prime minister seemed to have changed from the "Wancheng was defeated, his beloved son died" Relieved from the pain, he returned to his old traitorous attitude of "unpredictable grace and power"!

Since the eldest son Cao Ang died in battle, the other children became more and more filial. They greeted each other every morning and evening, and offered tea to salute. They kept wandering around in the study room in order to attract Cao Cao's attention. As for their purpose of doing this... they know it well, so don't say it out loud!

The state-owned prince, the family has heirs, Cao Cao, as a traitor, created a huge family business, which will inevitably be passed on to his descendants in the future. The original candidate~ Cao Ang died in the battle, and the heir's seat was vacant. There are many brothers in the Cao family , who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to take over!

Regarding the situation in the mansion, Cao Cao knew everything about it, but there was nothing he could do about it. He said that it was difficult for an upright official to resolve family affairs, and the same was true for a traitor. To cultivate a qualified heir, he needed to devote a lot of time and energy, but Wancheng was defeated. The death of the eldest son wiped out Cao Cao's 20 years of painstaking efforts. He is 42 years old this year. In the era of "a person who lives fifty years is not called a premature death", is there still enough time to cultivate another heir?

Among the sons of the Cao family, Cao Pi is 14 years old, Cao Zhang is 13 years old, and Cao Zhi is [-] years old. The rest of the sons are younger, some are babbling, some are still breastfeeding... Cao Cao often worries about this. The battle is fierce and dangerous, once he suddenly falls down, will the young sons be able to take the position smoothly, or will they be eaten up by tigers and wolves?

"As evidenced by heaven and earth, I will never allow such a thing to happen. The Cao family's huge foundation cannot be handed over to others!" Cao Cao stared at him and made up his mind that he must cultivate a strong heir in the shortest possible time. I don't hesitate to be afraid of spoiling the growth, the only way is...'Raise Gu! '
