In November of the first year of Destiny, Pingxi returned to Beijing.

Anguo General Chu Yunzhi led 25 elite soldiers to break through the western city and captured Rao City, which was captured by the rebels. They killed 15 enemy troops, captured 13, and escaped 2 on the battlefield. The leader of the rebel army was called "Qi Xiao" The king of heaven, Wei Tian, ​​was detained and guarded by Yanjun.So far, the war in the west of the Central Plains has been peaceful, and the world has returned to a state of stability.Emperor Tianming was overjoyed and ordered Chu Yunzhi to lead the troops back to Beijing as soon as possible, and those who made meritorious deeds in Pingxi would be rewarded!

At the same time, the list of famous flowers was submitted, and Zi Sangyu also checked the people on the list.Well, most of them are only the secret guards who come to do these things, but there are a few people who need to be mentioned, so Zi Sang Yu thought about it.

For example, the daughter of an important minister in the court.

Now that Dayan has just started, many things need to be assisted by important ministers, so it cannot be shaken; but learning from the previous experience of destroying the country and reducing the power of important officials in the court is also the top priority of this national policy.Zi Sang Yu has not yet become crowned, and the newly recruited Dingjia has not yet become popular, and now is not the time; but taking their daughter as a concubine can be regarded as a plan.

Although the concubine will add another power to the important ministers, but from another perspective, the concubine can be used to erode the power of the important ministers. If their daughter makes any mistakes, they can use their tricks to cut some power...Wensheng champion Lu Jinzheng said This strategy made Zi Sangyu's eyes shine.

"Your Majesty, the subordinates checked the roster and found that there are more than a dozen women on the list of daughters of important ministers in the court." Zhengtian replied.

Zi Sang Yu was lying on the wooden floor of the imperial study room, with a writing brush between his nose, and was taking a leisurely nap: Today's memorial is finished, let's take a rest first. "Oh, how many dozen people are there? How many civil and military people are there in the Manchu Dynasty? Hundreds?... After such a calculation, they think that I and the dozens of people in the court have become in-laws!"

Zhengtian smiled, took out the roster just now, and handed it over to her: "Your Majesty, please take a look at the Famous Flower Record."

"Um…"

Opening Famous Flowers, Zi Sang Yu couldn't help sighing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these ministers, why are you not so concerned about other things? Look at this book of flowers, the binding is so exquisite, the specifications are consistent, and the family portraits of every beautiful girl are printed on it, which is even more exciting than the pictures of beauties !” Zi Sang Yu casually flipped through the pages, slandering himself: My good fellow, these portraits are so beautifully drawn, are they really true?

In the Kyoto list of famous flowers, the first list is Gu Chuyun, the daughter of Gu Tang, the governor of the three armies.

"Gu Chuyun..." Thinking of this name, I still seem to have a little impression.There is a daughter in Gu Tang's family who is indeed innocent, but she was still young when she first saw her, so in the blink of an eye, she is 16 years old? ...Zi Sangyu looked at the picture album on the Famous Flowers Record, and it turned out that the Gu Tang family was lucky to have this daughter.

"Gu Chuyun is a well-supported figure in the Famous Flower Records." Zhengtian is worthy of having been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is obviously a draft pick, so he can always speak seriously. "Because her background is the sharpest in the Famous Flower Records, and I am also very outstanding. I wonder what the emperor thinks of this woman?"

"What do you think?" Zi Sangyu glanced at the picture album again and studied it for a long time. "How can I have any opinion. However, there are many exquisite women in this world. Although Gu Chuyun is one of them, it is not special. As for the draft, there is only such a daughter in Gu Tang's family..."

"But your majesty, Gu Tang is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the most important military power in the court."

"Gu Tang has been with me for so long, I can trust him."

"Your Majesty," Zhengtian put down the things in his hands, very serious: "You are the king of a country, no one can trust you, even your subordinates, you should be on guard. The country is easy to get, but governance is difficult. These ministers follow The emperor did try his best and was very loyal when he conquered the world, but when their power expands, who can guarantee that they will continue to live up to their original intentions? This subordinate advises the emperor to think twice."

Zi Sang Yu's eyes froze.

What Zhengtian said was not unreasonable.The king of a country, no one can believe it... Zi Sang Yu sat up from the couch, and took off the writing brush resting between his nose.Maybe I'm still too immature, these things really can't be done casually, looking at the overall situation, it's what the emperor should do.

Thinking about Ming Yang's change in the past, wasn't it because of the heavy use of powerful officials that caused the tragedy.

"Exactly what you said." Zi Sang Yufu opened the album again, looked at Gu Chuyun's name for a long time, and finally tapped the cinnabar to make a mark under her name.

-------------------------------

At the winter solstice in November, General Pingxi led his troops back to Beijing.

Along the way to Kyoto, you can always see large and small escort teams.Xu Xiao was also in the team returning to Beijing. Originally, he didn't need to go out to fight against the rebellion, but he was ordered to take over the Pingxi troops a month ago.On this day, Xu Xiao rode his horse back to Beijing with Chu Yunzhi, Hu Yabao, Wu Tianyou and others. Seeing more and more people coming and going, he couldn't help being puzzled.

"What's going on in Kyoto these days? Why do you see so many people rushing to Kyoto on this road?" Hu Yabao asked a question first, and Wu Tianyou, the brother in front of him, responded and ran to ask people with his whip raised.

Xu Xiao was thinking about other things in the background, but he didn't pay attention to their conversation.However, it seemed that he heard these few words in his ears, which made him startled.

I heard that not long after I left the capital, the imperial concubine ceremony was held, and the emperor made his concubine Bai Qingran the queen; at the same time, the emperor issued an edict, the world drafted, and all the places selected the best girls to compile and paint famous flower records... Now, it is In the process of handing in the records of famous flowers, most of the escort teams seen along the way were beautiful girls from all over the country who were escorted to Kyoto.

Affectionate emperor, have you finally started drafting a concubine?

Xu Xiao only felt a heavy breath in his heart, and he didn't know what he was depressed about.The generals next to him were still talking loudly about Minghualu, laughing and laughing; but what they heard in their ears always turned into awls, piercing every place on their bodies.

Coincidentally, the army and the Jingdu Xiunv convoy were walking on Xinghua Street together.

"Ouch, ouch, what a coincidence." Hu Yabao in the front put on a bright smile. His complexion has been darkened by traveling in the battlefield all year round, which is more in line with his rough personality.Seeing that the official road in Kyoto was already crowded, at this moment there were two groups of people, one side was soldiers in black military uniforms, and the other side was a convoy of famous flowers from the daughter's family. , Mostly because her cheeks were red and she didn't dare to look directly at her.

The show girls are all riding in the sedan chair, and occasionally the wind blows the curtain and makes people see half of Yiren's face, which will cause a burst of sighs.

"There are so many gates in the imperial city, you have to go to the Dinghe gate!" Seeing that the situation is not good, Chu Yunzhi may not be able to enter the palace smoothly tomorrow if he continues to squeeze like this; he waved his sword and shouted at the soldiers behind him Shout: "Soldiers, detour through Erli Street and enter the palace through Anhe Gate!"

"Yes!"

Fortunately, only the squadron leader entered the palace today, not many people.

The first to arrive at the palace gate was the Minghualuxiu women's team.

Zi Sang Yu was playing with her little overlord in Jinghe Hall, and when he heard that the Imperial Forest Army came to report, he just waved his hand and ordered them to live in a certain hall in the harem, and called the etiquette master to arrange their accommodation and meals. The time has come another day, and another chance to face the Holy Spirit.

As for the arrival of the Pingxi troops later, Zi Sangyu changed his attitude and greeted the meritorious officials in person; many well-informed ladies were secretly disappointed, did the young monarch really not care about the draft?

This is the first day that Xiu Nu enters the palace, but the concept of class is reflected in various details.

There are a total of 640 three beautiful women selected by Zhu Sha, one for every five in the famous flower record; and among the 640 three, nearly 100 are officials, and 200 are rich. The remaining three hundred or so are girls from ordinary families; the officials are older than Shang, and among these official ladies, ten of them have fathers who are court officials.

Among them, the most prominent one is Gu Chuyun, the daughter of Gu Tang.

Although there are quite a few first-rank ministers in the court today, Gu Chuyun is the only one who can be selected into the Famous Flower Record in the blooming season of the year.At the beginning when the roster was selected, Gu Tang sighed again and again. In the end, he just told his daughter to be careful in doing things, and not to steal the limelight in everything; his mother was so happy that she sent her daughter into the palace happily.

At the beginning of the draft, it can be said that there are no grades for these 600 people; but after thinking about it, who can offend the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the three armies?Therefore, for Gu Chuyun, no one dared to provoke him, on the contrary, he had a lot of attachments.

"Miss Gu~ My name is Bai Xiu!"

It was time to rest, Gu Chuyun sat in his seat and looked at the scrolls brought from home; a person about his age came in from the door, she should also be a beautiful girl; Not a wealthy person.

"Miss Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you." Gu Chuyun just smiled politely.

Bai Xiu looked her up and down, ouch, it's really like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, walking out of a New Year picture!Think of a person like myself who came out of a poor country, standing by the side, eclipsed!

"Miss Bai, what's the matter?" Gu Chuyun was still not used to it.After all, I haven't left the boudoir to communicate with other people all this time; when I entered the palace today, I was flattered by many people, so I stopped, and now another one came, and stood by my side for a long time, staring at me up and down look.

"It's nothing, I was just walking around and saw Ms. Gu sitting here studying, so I came to take a look..." Bai Xiu said it bluntly, and she was full of market spirit when she heard it.

Gu Chuyun just smiled faintly, subconsciously not knowing how to proceed.

"Girls, the emperor has a decree. At the time of the day, all the girls come to the Yongtong Palace to pay respects to the queen, and pay their respects." The visitor was a young maid in the Yan Palace. Although she was young, she knew palace etiquette very well.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Chuyun said.

Bai Xiu stood aside, thinking hard to herself, and murmured: "The current queen is really favored by the emperor. Even after she is sealed, she can still live in the Yongtong Palace...Miss Gu, you have seen a lot, but Do you know what the word Yongtong means? I think the name the emperor gave sounds nice."

Gu Chuyun was silent.

A phoenix never falls without a phoenix tree, and the Yongtong Hall implies that Bai Qingran is the phoenix for his son Sang Yu.
