The Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 474 Selecting and appointing talents
Things in Beijing are developing fast. Xia Houzhen can't withstand the pressure of the people, so she can only open the city gate and let Xia Houjin and others in. Xia Houjin returns to the palace of the imperial city, feeling that everything is wrong .

The first thing he did was to bring back the new queen mother. The old queen mother would come back with Qin Yuewen when the time came. The former concubine is now in the harem, becoming a queen mother who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

But others don't know that there is an eternal pain in her heart, that is, Xia Houhuan's departure, losing her husband in middle age, even if she becomes the most powerful woman in the world, it still can't bear the pain of losing a loved one.

Waking up early, Xia Houjin went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to say hello.

"How is the queen mother? My son has come to greet you."

When Xia Houjin entered the place, she didn't salute like before. He is now the most honorable emperor, and he can no longer salute casually, even if the other party is his own mother.

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Your Majesty has worked hard. Your Majesty takes care of everything. You still have time to visit Aijia. Aijia is very happy, but there is one thing that Aijia has to discuss with the Emperor."

Xia Houjin is now dealing with the affairs of the previous court, and she has been battered for a long time. When she heard that the Queen Mother wanted to discuss things, although she was tired in her heart, she finally nodded her head in agreement.

"Please speak, Queen Mother."

The queen mother looked at Xia Houjin and hesitated for a moment. Although Xia Houjin would not agree to this matter in all likelihood, this is the rule of the past dynasties. The etiquette of the ancestors cannot be abolished.

So the Queen Mother took a deep breath, looked at Xia Houjin and said.

"Although the emperor already has a queen, the harem is empty. Aijia thinks it's time to choose a concubine for the emperor. What does the emperor think?"

This is the last thing Xia Houjin wants to hear, what about choosing a concubine?He doesn't even want to be an emperor, so why choose a concubine?Do you want to repeat the mistakes of your father, Xia Houhuan?Then raise another woman who can stand up to Qin Yuewen.

Let his son bear the burden of saving Dayun in the future?He's not that great.

He is not like Xia Houhuan, he loves his wife and children dearly, and he does not want them to have to bear the enemies trained by their father before they enjoy life.

He can't do this kind of thing.

So Xia Houjin raised her eyebrows and said.

"Mother, this matter will be discussed later. I don't want to think about these things for the time being. Now that Dayun has just gone through a war, the people and the rest of the world should rest and recuperate. The selection of concubines is a big matter, and it is handed down from level to level. It is rare for someone to enrich their own pockets." , Second, everything is busy in front of the court, and I can't get away."

The Queen Mother naturally knew that her son was unwilling, but Xia Houjin was no longer the prince, even if she was the emperor's biological mother, she could not force the emperor to do anything.

For things like choosing a concubine, unless the emperor himself is willing, who would dare to put a woman on the emperor's bed?To put it nicely, this is to prolong the heirs for the emperor. To put it bluntly, it has ulterior motives. If you want to put eyeliner around the emperor, if you are the empress dowager, everything will go well?

Thinking of this, the queen mother nodded.

"The emperor is right. The Ai family is in a hurry. Since the emperor has something to do, let's wait for the queen to come back. The Ai family will discuss with her. What does the emperor think?"

Xia Houjin saw that she still didn't give up, and knew that this was the rule, so she nodded.

"Let's wait for Yue'er to come back to discuss this matter. By the way, I plan to bring back the former queen mother. Although she has done something wrong, she is the biological mother of the emperor. I plan to bring her back. Even if she is grounded, she is under house arrest. harem.

She's getting old too, and I can't bear to do anything to her. "

The Queen Mother nodded.

"The emperor's house is kind, and Ai's family is very relieved."

Xia Houjin thought for a while and said again.

"I promised Concubine Liang that after the world is at peace, I will let her live her own life. Furthermore, although she is the emperor's concubine in name, she is still a virgin. I will announce to the world that Concubine Liang will return her longing for it. She has died of illness, and she will change her name and surname to start a new life."

This is the first time in Dayun's history that a concubine can go back. Although the Queen Mother is unwilling, but this is Xia Houjin's decision, she can only nod.

"Everything is according to the emperor's order, and the Ai family has no objection."

After hearing this, Xia Houjin nodded, put down the emperor's airs, sat down, and stepped back.

"Queen, I have something I want to ask my queen."

Seeing his gentle attitude, the queen mother also nodded and smiled.

"If the emperor has anything to say, just say it. We are mother and son, and there is nothing we can't say."

Xia Houjin nodded.

"I don't know if my father has any brothers alive. Among their descendants, there are outstanding talents from my Xiahou family."

When the Queen Mother heard it, she thought that Xia Houjin was going to select talents and appoint talents, so she thought about it.

"If the emperor wants to choose talents, he can choose from the Xiahou family. The Ai family has several names that can be selected by the emperor, but those children whose parents are still alive cannot be selected. After all, they are the brothers of your father. Once their children make meritorious service , your throne will be in danger.”

Xia Houjin couldn't help but nodded when he heard it. Although he didn't care about the throne, he cared about the common people in the world. He didn't want to support a puppet emperor to be his successor, so that the world would once again become a piece of contention among Xiahou's family Fat meat, he will once again plunge the common people into dire straits.

Throughout the dynasties, the reason why the harem left the mother to keep the children was not for the queen, but for the country. Only when the prince's mother loses power, the prince will not be used by his relatives and become a puppet to control the government. What Xia Houjin wants is a No selfishness, no reliance, a talent who can be the emperor with one heart and one mind, and help Xiahou's family to reproduce the prosperity of Dayun.

He didn't believe that among so many brothers of Emperor Father, there wasn't a single one who was qualified for this job.

Thinking of this, Xia Houjin looked at the Queen Mother and nodded.

"My queen is right. I will think about it carefully. My queen can propose a list of all the people you think of. I will call them all back and train them well. Jiangshan was laid down by my Xiahou family. It should be my Xiahou family. The descendants of the family will govern together, and I am not afraid of the power being divided up, I only hope that the world will be peaceful, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately saw the shadow of Xia Houhuan from Xia Houjin. The striking similarity between the father and son was precisely the heart for the common people.

A few days later, a total of more than ten descendants of Xia Houhuan's offshoots entered the capital. The strange thing is that these people all have one thing in common, that is, the children of the Xiahou family who are lonely and helpless after their fathers died.
