The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Mu Dongli frowned: "Why is the emperor's draft announced to the world?"

"Because all the people in the world belong to the emperor." Yan Qing smiled casually, "Have you never heard that 'all the people in the world are kings; all the people on the coast are kings and ministers'?"

Mu Dongli exclaimed: "So if the emperor wants to, all the women in the world must be chosen by him?"

"According to the rules, it is true." Yan Qing nodded, "However, the emperor's draft selections have always not strictly followed the rules. Unless they are particularly romantic and lustful people, it is mostly to consolidate the imperial power. All the girls selected are from 뀗 The choice of hundreds of military officials and aristocratic families from all over the world."

Mu Dongli was silent: "Is the current emperor a lecherous person?"

You've told the world this, aren't you a lecherous person?

"Today's situation is special." Yan Qing said, "The emperor's selection is purely to win over the influence of major families, including important ministers of the court, famous families in various places, powerful local officials and generals, and wealthy merchants Home.”

To consolidate the imperial power, the emperor needed military power, huge wealth, the influence of major aristocratic families, and the protection of local leading soldiers and generals. Unfortunately, such a large and complicated selection process is bound to take a long time and energy.

Local officials need to collect statistics on the local talent candidates who meet the conditions for the draft, and report them at all levels. From the local area to the imperial capital, the portraits will be screened, and the selected females will then arrive in the imperial capital from the local area... ugh.

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows leisurely: "Yan Chen is destined to lose before the draft."

He is still thinking about winning over all the major families in the world through the draft, but Yan Qing has decided to return to the imperial capital before September, which means he is destined to fail.

"Is there going to be a war?" Mu Dongli frowned slightly, and there was worry in his eyes, "If there is going to be a war, I will ask the eldest brother to bring more money to recruit troops and horses for His Highness -"

"No fighting." Yan Qing smiled, "To deal with a shrimp soldier like Yan Chen, there is no point in using a gun."

"That's good." Mu Dongli nodded, "I don't like fighting either. Once a war breaks out, the people will be so pitiful that they will have nowhere to stay."

Wen Jin stood quietly aside, watching Yan Qing chatting with Mu Dongli, her thin lips pursed slightly: "Your Highness, why don't you take a rest first?"

Yan Qing glanced at him.

"Princess sister, have you rested?" Mu Dongli bowed and saluted, "Then I should take my leave first."

"I also resigned."

"Let's have dinner together tonight." Yan Qing ordered, "Let Mu Han and Chu Yanling come over together. I have something to tell you."

"Yes." As Ye Jinglan nodded and left, he suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Yan Qing, "Thank you, Your Highness, the eldest princess for giving me the antidote. I will never forget it."

"You don't have to thank me." Yan Qing said clearly, "I have negotiated terms with the regent, and the antidote has nothing to do with you."

Ye Jinglan shook his head: "Thank you, eldest princess, I only have such a sister."

Yan Qing didn't say anything, but Ye Jinglan turned around and walked away.

"With this kind of kindness, King Xuanwu will stand firmly on the side of the palace. Together with King Suzaku, His Highness is equivalent to conquering two vassal kings." Wen Jin's voice was calm, "But we don't need them to do anything. It is enough for us as long as the king does not stand in the way and does not obey the emperor's will."

They hold much more chips than Yan Chen, and the life and death of Yan Chen and the Queen Mother are still in His Highness's hands, so they are destined to have no room to compete.

Yan Qing turned to look at him: "Now you are impatient even if I say a few words to Dong Li. When you arrive in the imperial capital, will you use the golden cage in the eldest princess's mansion to deal with me?"
