Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 640 Draft?nonexistent

After Bai Ri's service was removed, at Yinzhen's first court meeting, a speaker mentioned to Yinzhen about the selection of the new emperor after he ascended the throne.

This topic is actually a sensitive one.

Who in the court doesn't know that the current emperor only likes the empress?Husband and wife for more than ten years, the relationship remains the same.If you want to draft, let alone what the queen thinks, the emperor may not be willing.

But as officials, they should point out what should be pointed out.

According to the old practice of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor should have a draft every three years.Even before the death of Lord Kangxi, the draft continued.

It's just that it's not for Lord Kangxi himself, but for the brothers below.

"In ancient times, the purpose of drafting was to enrich the harem and give birth to heirs. Now that the foundation of the country has been established, there are also lessons learned from the previous emperor's lifetime. From my point of view, drafting is unnecessary."

Of course Longkodo refused to give way, and he stood up and said such a sentence first.

After hearing this, Shun Anyan also said: "I think it makes sense. The Empress is a noble and dignified lady. It is enough to have her alone by the emperor's side."

"Although the draft is a noble girl, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. It is really not a good thing."

In Shun Anyan's words, she almost wished to add all the praiseworthy words in the world to Tong Jia Xili.He doesn't allow other women to share their husbands with his sister!

Even if the brother-in-law is the emperor, that won't work!

The speaker was utterly deflated, and just now he was about to bring up the old rules of the Qing Dynasty to speak out, but A Ling'a also stood up.

"When a new emperor ascends the throne, it is inevitable that there will be things to abolish the old and establish the new. The old rules and old rules are all examples from the past. If it is out of date, it will naturally have to be changed."

A Ling'a smiled and said: "I think everything is still according to the emperor's will."

...

"I also feel that there is no need to worry about drafting." Li Wei, who had just been promoted to governor of Zhejiang Province, also said: "Although the emperor has fewer heirs than the previous emperor, all of them are talented and virtuous."

"The minister reconsidered."

Nian Xiyao, who had just returned to Beijing to report on his work, said the same thing.

The officials on the side looked at these people who stood up to refute them, and they were almost stunned.

This…

In the court, these are either members of the Tong family or the emperor's own confidantes. Their suggestions are really difficult to implement!Even the seemingly loyal Ah Ling said "but according to the emperor's will"!
this!It is clear that they will not give them a way out!
Looking at the somewhat annoyed speaker and those who immediately stood up to defend his relationship with Tong Jia Xili, Yin Zhen couldn't help but smile.

"About the draft, I actually have exactly that intention."

As soon as these words came out, the people who just said that there was no need to draft were even more stunned. They all looked at Yinzhen, with an unbelievable look in their eyes.

Especially Shun Anyan, who opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe what he heard.

What did the emperor say just now?Want to draft?

When the speaker heard Yinzhen's words, he was a little elated, and when he was about to say his old-fashioned words again, Yinzhen continued to speak.

"The prince is not young anymore. The Qingning Palace has already started to be renovated, and it is time to choose a suitable hostess for the Qingning Palace."

"Hand down the order. From now on, for a month, the officials will be looking for Gege of the Eight Banners who has outstanding talents and virtues. If there is a suitable one, they should be recommended, and the queen will personally select it."

"The qualified ones will be selected afterward, and then they will enter the palace and be selected again."

"In addition, the selection of Princess Changning's forehead can also be carried out at the same time. Follow the above prescription and proceed together."

This... is to choose an excellent concubine for Hong Hao from among the outstanding girls in the world!Then, choose a forehead for Yuyu from among the outstanding men in the world!
Hong Hao grew up in Qiandi since he was a child, and he didn't have many contacts with girls.It's not like Tong Jia Xili and Yinzhen who have childhood sweethearts.His crown princess can only be selected in this way.

As for Yuyu, of course it was the same.

Of course... Among the many candidates, Yinzhen will only give the marriage to Honghao and Yanyu if they like them.

Therefore, the scope of selection this time is very broad, and I hope that Hong Hao and Yu Yu can really find a suitable one among these candidates.

After hearing Yinzhen's words, the officials below had their own thoughts.

If suitable, they can sponsor.Then my own daughter or son, maybe there is a chance?

What happened in the previous dynasty about the draft was quickly spread to the harem.

At that time, Tong Jia Xili had just picked up the needles and threads in the sewing basket to do embroidery.She hasn't done embroidery for many days, and her skills are almost rusty.

Before Hong Hao gets married, make some more shoes and socks for him.In the future, these things can be handed over to your daughter-in-law as a matter of course!
"Empress, Empress." Xiao Shunzi ran over panting, and said to Tong Jia Xili: "The emperor is going to court today, and some officials have mentioned the draft."

...

The needle in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.

Tong Jia Xili had already thought about this matter.Not only now, but in the past, Lord Kangxi deliberately pointed out to Yinzhen a side Fujin or Gege's concubine when he was drafting.

At that time, Yinzhen expressed his reluctance.Later, Tong Jia Xili had twins, and Lord Kangxi dispelled such thoughts when he saw the love between Yinzhen and his wife.

It's a good thing that the back house is simple.

Now that Yinzhen is on the throne, as the emperor, it is really difficult for him to have only one queen.As the saying goes, there are 3000 beauties in the harem, and an emperor who does not draft is rare in ancient times.

"The emperor... how do you say it?" Tong Jia Xili looked at Xiao Shunzi panting, but still felt a little uneasy.

She knows Yinzhen.But she didn't want Yinzhen to confront her courtiers.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

(Please don't gasp.)
PS: Extra episodes of the draft:
Minister [-]: Your Majesty, let's draft!
Longkodo: There are already princes, so why choose so many concubines?Give birth to a son and compete with the crown prince?

Shun Anyan: The queen is so good, what woman should I choose?

Ah Ling: Whether to choose or not depends on the emperor's will!If the emperor doesn't want to, don't choose!

Li Wei: I also think there is no need to worry.

Nian Xiyao: Everyone is right.

Yinzhen: I think...actually, it can be drafted.

Xi Li:? ? ?What did you say?Say it again?
Yinzhen: I said...you can choose for our son.

Xi Li: …that’s fine too.

Yinzhen: By the way, choose one for our daughter too.

Xili: Yes.

(Being an emperor is so capricious!)

Regarding history, there was a precedent for an emperor with only one empress, in the Ming Dynasty.I forget which emperor it is, but I remember it was the poor little emperor who was suppressed by Concubine Wan Gui.

He had a miserable life experience when he was young, and he lived with his only wife. After he ascended the throne, she was the only queen and no concubines.
