Emperor Son Sang gl

Kyoto Gufu.

The residence of Gu Tang, the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

That day, Gu Tang just came back from morning court, and he was in a state of desperation. "Those idle villains, if one day falls into my hands, I may not know what to do with you!" After all, he is a general, although he is a wise type, but he has a rough temper when he gets angry.No, as soon as Gu Tang came back, he kept on talking endlessly, and his wife and daughter who were chatting in the main hall felt baffled.

"Who provoked you again." Gu Tang's wife, Mo Shi, was still eating melon seeds carelessly. "Could it be that the emperor refuted what he said in the morning court today?"

Gu Tang looked at the daughter beside his wife and sighed.

However, this Gu Tang's daughter is sixteen years old, it is in the blooming season, she is delicate and charming; her pair of catkins are as slender as green onions, her eyes are flowing like clear springs, her face is like rouge, her lips are like cherries, no matter who looks at her, she can't help but pity her. !Gu Tang has only one daughter, named Chu Yun, who has been cared for as a treasure in the palm since she was a child.In addition, in order to prevent outsiders from coveting her, she was never allowed out of the boudoir, she was really a lady of every family.

Unexpectedly!

"Alas." Gu Tang flicked his sleeves angrily, "Not long ago, after the emperor sealed the title, he issued an edict for a draft, and the local officials handed in a list of the best girls, or recommended or screened them, and then compiled them into a book and handed it over to the Imperial City of Kyoto. Chaofang knows that someone recommended Chu Yun's name in the Jingdu Famous Flower Record!"

Although the relationship among them is complicated, one thing is understood, that is, Gu Chuyun, Gu Tang's daughter, is also on the draft list.Gu Chuyun was startled for a moment, then turned her head shyly.

After all, it is a daughter's house, so it is uncomfortable to talk about marriage, let alone marrying the current emperor?

"According to your lord's meaning..." Mrs. Mo understood a little bit, and her mood was not like Gu Tang's depressed, but happy: "Our family's Chu Yun is going to be the emperor's concubine? Oh, my lord, this is a good thing, what are you doing?" This look!"

Mo's joke made Gu Chuyun even more uncomfortable.

Gu Tang couldn't help feeling even more depressed.Fortunately, this daughter is still sensible, and she can save herself a little worry.It's a pity that the madam is a woman after all, and she doesn't know any rules, let alone the machinations of the city government!Alas, if such a woman lived in the deep palace, she might be...

(Author: Can't survive two episodes)

"Madam doesn't know something." Gu Tang said it earnestly, wanting her to understand the stakes. "It is well known that the current emperor is devoted to Empress Bai. And this time the selection of concubines is only a decision made by the emperor for Li Bai's empress. If Chu Yun really enters the harem, I'm afraid After a few days of comfortable life, I was so empty that I was trapped in that birdcage by myself!"

Mohs disagreed.

"Oh my lord, you said that lightly. The current emperor is only when he is full of blood, and there are still cats in this world who don't steal fish? Now that they are dedicated, maybe they will favor a concubine as soon as they turn around." Mrs. Mo glanced at her daughter, a little overjoyed: "Our family's Chu Yun has come out well, how do you know that she will be unhappy? Maybe the emperor will forget about who the queen is when he sees Chu Yun." .”

"That's enough, that's it, that's okay, women!" Gu Tang couldn't help but scolded her. "The list on the Famous Flower Record will have to wait for the emperor to read it before knowing the result."

"Then why are you so worried!" Mrs. Mo complained a few words, then got up and went back to the room.Gu Tang looked at his daughter who was still sitting where he was, and seeing that she seemed to be in a trance, he couldn't help sighing again.Or, I shouldn't have said this, but I just couldn't help complaining for a while.

Speaking of which, this daughter and Zi Sang Yu... Sigh.

It should be as early as when I was in Jiangzhou, when a small battle broke out, Gu Tang was injured and rested in the mansion; that day, the emperor Sang Yu came to the mansion to visit his illness, and he met Gu Chuyun inadvertently .It was very accidental, and Zi Sang Yu probably didn't pay much attention to it himself.But after that time, when Gu Tang walked into his daughter's study, he discovered that she was drawing a portrait of Zi Sang Yu.

There is spirit, as if the person in the painting will come out.

How could I not understand such a daughter's thoughts?It's just that Gu Tangquan pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent about it.After adding, Zi Sang Yu had a special affection for Bai Qingran, and he had no intention of letting his daughter get into trouble, and the emperor had no intention of drafting a concubine from the bottom of his heart, so why should he bet on his daughter's life's happiness!

The compilation of famous flower records is still in progress, and dozens to hundreds of lists can be added every day.

Each locality screens out qualified show girls, and submits their family backgrounds and portraits, which are collected by the state government and then screened separately, and finally counted into the list of famous flowers, and handed over to the Imperial City of Kyoto.For a while, there was a wave of famous flowers all over the Central Plains. Many people hoped that their daughters would be favored by the emperor in exchange for prosperity and wealth. For a while, they also cultivated the habit of bribing officials.

When Zi Sangyu heard this, he immediately dispatched imperial envoys to investigate and check the results of the draft. Not long after, the trend of bribery was forcibly suppressed. A few poor people seized the opportunity to carry out trade and transactions, and even traveled to foreign regions, earning a lot of goods and money, and the political achievements of various places are gratifying.

Zi Sang Yu was sitting in the Yanhe Hall laughing heartily.

The reason for such achievements is mainly the credit of those landlords.Many stingy landlords and merchants wanted to send their daughters to the harem, but due to the strict investigation by the imperial envoys, they changed their goals and invested money in local construction, taxation and hiring poor people as labor.Their main purpose is to let local officials know that they contribute money and efforts to help achieve political achievements, which is equivalent to a different method of bribery; Work, and stimulate local taxation.

As for the issue of the daughters of those merchants being included in the Famous Records... this is left to the local officials to decide, even if their daughters are not allowed to pass, so what?There are two official characters, and those landlords and merchants are willing to build the local area willingly!

In the early days of the court, the imperial envoys from various places returned to Beijing to report on the situation, and almost half of the localities' achievements were overturned, which made the ministers in the court gasp!Is this really the decision that the person on the dragon chair thought about?This plan actually equaled three years of development and added a lot of silver and gold to Dayan treasury!

"It's been almost a month since the draft edict was issued. I heard that there are thousands of girls who have passed the screening. This is the number after the strict investigation!" Zi Sangyu snorted softly, "Dayan How could I not know when there were so many people? The draft is almost the same, there are thousands of people, and a single word from one person can kill me.”

Zi Sang Yu was chatting with Lian Xin in the imperial garden of the palace.

"Haha, His Majesty's words sound like he wants to select all these thousands of beautiful girls into the palace." Lian Xin couldn't help teasing her.

"Hey, I..." Zi Sangyu coughed lightly, "Brother Yi, don't make fun of me, Brother Yi should know, how could I think of someone with thousands of harem. Brother Yi, you I'm not too young anymore, is there a daughter in my fancy? Let me tell you about a matchmaker giving me a marriage?"

After Zi Sangyu ascended the throne, the gap between him and the Lian family seemed to be much smaller.Maybe life has become more comfortable, but Zi Sang Yu started to like to chat and joke with Lian's family members. Although he still used the honorific title, he let go a lot when talking.For this, Lian Xin was still happy.

"What is the emperor talking about?" Lian Xin picked up a pot of wine on the table and filled her glass cup. "There are already enough things about the Imperial Forest Army, so there is no time to think about marriage~ Come, come, Your Majesty, let's have a drink first."

"Hey, Brother Yi is really shy, haha." Zi Sang Yu stopped teasing him, but just took the glass cup on the table and respected him: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore. No? Drink it. Here, I'm done."

Lian Xin shook his head and smiled at her.

"However, when it comes to the Minghualu... there are thousands of people listed on the roster, I wonder how the empress will react?" Lian Xin had heard from the Imperial Forest Army that for a while, the emperor came from the Yongtong Palace in the morning. When I came out, I always looked listless, as if I didn't sleep well all night.The imperial guards were all joking about the empress empress pestering the emperor in Furong's tent, but Lian Xin felt that maybe it was Zi Sang Yu who failed to sleep on the bed.

"Hey, it's really sad to say." Zi Sangyu sighed. "I didn't even get a good night's sleep on the bed, and I was pushed aside to sleep the next day, on the cold couch..."

"Hahahahaha, I guessed it. Your Majesty, do you know what those imperial guards said?"

"How to say?"

"They said that your Majesty, you haven't had any energy for the past few days. Maybe the empress empress is entangled with you in the hibiscus tent every night, hahahahahahaha..." Lian Xin laughed hard, even though Zi Sang Yu had already put on a displeased expression. , still laughing.

"I don't know what to say." Zi Sang Yu sighed and poured Lian Xin a glass of wine. "Tell me, do people talk about irrelevant things as soon as they are free?" Just like the incident between myself and Xu Xiao, until now, the army still gossips with relish... Really, more than a woman People also like guys who gossip...

"Well, yes." Lian Xin saw that she was still not very happy, "But your majesty, there is one thing you have to understand. That is, only when the world is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, will they have extra thoughts to care about other things. Things. When the people all over the world are so bored that they care about the emperor’s harem, it will prove that the people have clothes to wear and food to eat, so they don’t need to think about food, drink, housing and transportation.”

A word awakens the dreamer.

Zi Sangyu nodded in agreement, Lian Xin really couldn't agree more with this sentence.Hey, why didn't I consider this when I was old?After listening to his words today, I really want the people all over the world to talk about my harem!

Uh, it doesn't seem too good, so let's not talk about it...

Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep in bed at night.

"Reporting to the emperor, there is an urgent battle report for eight hundred miles from the post station in Kyoto."

"Who's letter?"

"General Pingxi, Chu Yunzhi's letter!"
