Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1198
The prince is not young anymore, so it is indeed time to find the princess.

This is normal.

However, the princess is very likely to be the queen in the future, so this princess is very important to many people.

Officials in the DPRK and China, whoever wants to make a fortune, probably wants the daughter of his family to become a princess, right?
Now that Li Shimin is going to choose a concubine for Li Chengqian, they must find a way to move around.

And this matter was handed over to Qin Tian by Li Shimin, so if they wanted to do some activities, they could only go to Qin Tian.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people coming and going from the Qin residence.

However, although these people came with gifts, Qin Tian also accepted them all, but Qin Tian refused to say anything about making a woman from their clan a princess.

Just tell them to wait when the time comes.

After a few days like this, Qin Tiancai entered the palace and told Li Shimin some of his thoughts on choosing the crown princess for Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, the candidates for the crown princess should be women from some big families. Only in this way can they be matched with the crown princess. However, if the family is big, it will inevitably develop the problem of foreign relatives dominating power, so what I mean, may as well To expand the scope, women of ordinary officials can also come to participate in the selection of the crown princess as long as they agree to the conditions, what do you think of the Holy Majesty?"

In the Tang Dynasty, the marriage of the royal family's children was very important. The concubine of the prince must be a woman of aristocratic family or some powerful woman. It is basically impossible for an ordinary woman to marry into the royal family.

But if the family background of these concubines is too large, it will affect the imperial power.

So in many cases, the choice of the prince and concubine is a very difficult thing.

But at the same time, these princes wanted to get in touch with those noble families and dignitaries. After all, with the backing of these noble families and dignitaries, they would have more confidence in competing for the throne.

The best candidates for the crown prince should actually be some family children who can help the prince stabilize his status.

But now Qin Tian wants to expand the scope, as long as anyone who agrees with the conditions can be selected, this is a bit confusing to Li Shimin.

Of course, Qin Tian's method is indeed conducive to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and avoids the dictatorship of foreign relatives, but now Qin Tian, ​​as the prince's teacher, should think about the prince's stability, but what he did seems not very good to the prince. favorable.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and soon understood again.

The matter of the Crown Princess is relatively very sensitive. If Qin Tian makes a slight mistake, he may be hated by others, and even feared by him, the emperor.

But if the scope is expanded, then I probably won't think that Qin Tian is using his current power to seek the position of Crown Princess for his own people, right?

To put it bluntly, the reason why Qin Tian did this was firstly for the consideration of the Tang Dynasty and to avoid the dictatorship of his relatives, and secondly to express his opinion to Li Shimin. Although Qin Tian was Li Chengqian's teacher, he would not help Li Chengqian fight for the imperial power.

The number of candidates for the crown princess has been increased, so no matter who is selected, who can do anything to Qin Tian?
Li Shimin thought that Qin Tian was very smart, very smart.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that."

Seeing that Li Shimin agreed, Qin Tian continued to say: "Your Majesty, as long as you agree with the conditions, you can sign up. After the deadline, I will pass some exams to test these selected women, to see if they are knowledgeable, Whether they are qualified in terms of morality and so on, the final batch will be selected by the Holy Majesty."

The final candidate must be decided by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Qin Tian told Li Shimin about the situation, and Li Shimin nodded after listening: "Your method is good, I will do as you said, and I will choose it carefully. The crown prince has been selected, and it will be very helpful to the prince."

Behind a successful man, there must be a woman who can help him.

If this woman is chosen correctly, it will really help Li Chengqian.

Qin Tian naturally took orders quickly, and after retreating, he announced the news.

After the news was announced, the entire Chang'an city was once again in an uproar.

"No, even ordinary officials and people can run for the crown princess?"

"What the hell is Young Master Qin doing? How can a woman from an ordinary official's family choose the Crown Princess? They are simply out of line."

"That's right, that's right, Young Master Qin is just messing around, how can ordinary women do it, the princess must be chosen from among the women from aristocratic families."

"........."

Many people disapproved of Qin Tian's approach. They felt that other ordinary women were not qualified to choose the crown princess.

However, although these people disagreed, those ordinary officials or some small families were excited by the news.

If their daughters become princesses, it will be very helpful for their development. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about such things. Now that they finally have the opportunity, they will naturally not let it go of.

So, when others object, they support it.

The two sides are arguing and fighting like this, which is a bit out of hand.

However, although these people were arguing with each other, Qin Tian was not idle. He registered all the candidates who agreed to the conditions, and waited for the time to expire before starting to evaluate them.

Regardless of whether it is the powerful or ordinary people, when they quarreled, they also reported the marriageable women in their respective families.

No matter what, let's report the quota first.

When everyone was trying their best to compete for the crown princess, Li Ke, king of Shu, also started his own operation here.

In Shu Palace, a middle-aged man named Fang Yishan came.

Fang Yishan was handsome, gentle and elegant, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. After he saw Li Ke, he saluted quickly.

"Go down the official mountain and meet the prince."

Li Ke nodded, and said, "Master Fang, do you know why this king asked you to come here?"

"I don't know about this... I don't know."

Li Ke smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that Lingmei Fangqing is as beautiful as a flower, and the man who proposed the marriage tore through the porch, but is that so?"

Hearing this, Fang Yishan frowned slightly, and said: "There is indeed a little girl in the family, and she has indeed reached the age of marriage, but this appearance can only be regarded as reasonable, but there is no such thing as trampling the porch. "

Fang Yishan has been in the court for many years. If he still doesn't understand the meaning of Shu King Li Ke's words at this time, then Tang Jun is too stupid.

It's just that other people want to marry the prince and become a princess, but his daughter Fang Qing is not such a person.

In this way, he can only pretend to be confused and talk nonsense.
