Then she asked Cui Shangyi to tell Empress Zhang that she would ask the emperor's sister-in-law to help her with the selection of the concubine.
Empress Zhang happily agreed, then shook her head, "Who is this stupid person?"
Cui Shangyi also laughed, "I don't know! But there is no shortage of self-righteous idiots in Jilai."
Very true!
After the news was conveyed, Cui Shangyi withdrew and went to Zhang Gongling to discuss the matter. If it was really time to choose a concubine, it would be these female officials who would be busy.
Zhang Gongling said, "If you don't enter the palace where the Detachment of Women is stationed, it won't be a big hindrance."
What Cui Shangyi is worried about is, "I heard that there are so many beauties in the capital now."
"Then you should pay more attention and see what kind of beauties there are. Asking among the people in advance is also a way to choose a concubine."
Okay! Pay more attention.
Cui Shangyi asked Lin Yutong for leave, "I want to go out for a walk."
Lin Yutong laughed, "The snow is not heavy, but the wind is not too light. You said, don't you want to stay warm in the house? Are you so curious?"
Cui Shangyi said in a low voice, "My Majesty, I am mainly afraid that some unclean people will mix in. Therefore, every time I choose a concubine among the people, I will be vigilant. If I don't understand the basics, I will never dare to bring someone here."
From the Imperial Palace."
Since it is your duty, then go for it!
Cui Shangyi changed her clothes and went out, and mingled among the teahouses in the market. There were endless new things happening in the capital, and there were many discussions.
Some people said that there was something strange going on in the Law School. Someone got into a fight with someone over a disagreement over something, and so on.
Some people say that Prince Xin’s residence is right next to the Law Courts, so you might hear some noise.
Then there is the selection of concubines, to see whose girl can become a princess and which one can enter the palace and become a concubine.
There are even teahouses that open bets privately, betting big and small.
Cui Shangyi clicked on the betting signs and said, "Go over and ask, who are they?"
yes!
As soon as I asked, the waiter came with a plate with several wooden plaques inside, "Sir, I heard that you also want to bet, I will tell you about it."
Okay! Let’s talk! Cui Shangyi kept peeling the peanuts and put them in a pile. He just nodded without stopping.
The waiter pushed forward first and said, "This Miss Tian has an unusual family background. Her father, a captain of the Royal Guards, was a former Imperial Guard, and was a colleague of my uncle..."
There are so many people in the Imperial Guard, and Liu Qiao may not even recognize them all! Have you ever been a colleague of Uncle Guo? There are many people who know Uncle Guo, but Uncle Guo knows who he is?! Cui Shangyi is speechless.
Wait for him to continue.
But I didn't expect this person to only talk about this and not mention anything else about this girl, including her appearance and temperament.
Cui Shangyi smiled inwardly, she still understands the rules! If everyone knows about her appearance, what will happen?!
"This Miss Yuan was recommended to Prince Rui's Mansion. I think she must be different from the others."
Recommended by the prince's palace? Prince Rui's palace? There's something wrong with it. What are you doing with this? Go back and ask someone to ask and see if there are any other changes in the palace over there.
"Miss Zhou... your father is outside. Look down from here... do you see it?"
The fortune teller?
"Yes!" the waiter said mysteriously, "I'd like to tell you something that I don't want anyone to know. Miss Zhou is very good-looking this week. Chen Hanlin, who was awarded the Jinshi by Enke, rented a courtyard next to Zhou's house when he came to Beijing to take the exam.
When he saw this girl, he was astonished and praised her as 'a noble lady in the world'! At that time, Miss Zhou was still young, so Chen Hanlin taught Miss Zhou Zhi Zhi Tong Jian and the book of classics and history..."
A noble person in the world?
But no, "Come to think of it, this girl should be well-educated and well-versed in both writing and writing!"
Cui Shangyi threw away the peanut shells and sneered in her heart, how dare a noble person in the world say such things? Is this Chen Hanlin crazy?
Okay! I’m not interested in anything else. It’s enough to know that many people are actually rushing to the palace to send girls off. Whether it’s a house of petty officials or ordinary people, they all have thoughts about it.
After a while, she went back. After she went back, she told the queen one by one, "This year is probably the most... lively one in the selection of concubines in many years. There is no panic, everyone happily wants to take the girl to the palace.
deliver."
The reasons are nothing more than: 1. The emperor is still young. 2. It is rare for a wise king to live long. 3. The harem is empty, with only one queen. 4. There is no prince or princess in the palace.
Especially the fourth one is particularly tempting! The existence of the eldest son, when there is no legitimate son, is the definite successor. What an honor it is. As long as the girl is of the right age and looks outstanding, who is not willing to give it a try?
try?
Cui Shangyi whispered: "I have inquired, and there are also daughters of high-ranking officials who have adopted girls under the names of relatives in distant places..." This is in line with the rules. "In addition, there are also many beauties who are raised by wealthy families in the name of foster care."
Hanging in a poor family... It should be because I am afraid that the news will be leaked in advance and the palace will block it. Therefore, I did not publicize it!"
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the girls in the teahouse and wine shop who were allowed to be used as bets could publicize the things behind them. I'm afraid that these people deliberately released the news to divert the attention of the palace."
Cui Shangyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It should be so." Otherwise, it would be against the agreement! When the empress said this, it suddenly made sense! Yes, that's it.
"You're pretty good at playing!" Lin Yutong put down the book in his hand, "Okay! Let's play, we'll talk about it when we get together."
Then three to five days later, people gathered together at the Detachment of Women's Army station.
The place is huge. The five thousand Detachment of Women's Army camp was reserved and five thousand beautiful women were crammed into it. Oh my! It's so beautiful!
Gao Guiying and Lady Hong were in charge of the management. Looking at these girls, they frowned so hard they could kill mosquitoes.
They thought that at least most of them would be the kind of girls who came out to find a place to eat, but looking at how delicate and delicate they all were, they thought... that didn't seem to be the case.
I still thought I could pick out the clumsy ones and keep them in the military camp, but now... there is no chance at all.
Gao Guiying snorted coldly, "If you are pampered, you will be free of charge if you keep it."
The price for disappointing them is to manage these girls like a military camp.
What? Do you want hot water to bathe? Girl, take a bath once every seven days, and there will be water for washing your feet at night. This is the treatment. You can take it if you can. If you can't, you can leave without stopping.
Want a mirror? Can’t put on makeup? A beauty is beautiful even if she doesn’t put on makeup. What’s so pretentious?
When Lin Yutong arrived, there was a lot of noise inside. Three women are worth a bunch of ducks. Good guy, these five thousand girls, how many ducks are there.
Don't make any noise, come here, come here, let me take a good look at you.
First, let’s separate them according to their strengths such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Who can sing? Who can dance? Hurry up, if you are good at anything, go find your own group and read them in groups later.
Oh my goodness, it suddenly became chaotic. It’s such a big square and it’s not afraid of the cold.
It took more than half an hour to finish the division, and there were only less than a hundred girls left, who were almost crying. There are people who are good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are not good at anything they are good at.
After dividing them into groups, they were all assigned to the group of female workers.
There were only a few people in this group, and Lin Yutong smiled when the list was handed over. These were the only ones who came from really clean backgrounds to choose concubines.
Lin Yutong whispered a few words to Cui Yingyue, and Cui Yingyue went out to call people, calling in groups of ten.
Queen Zhang arrived just now, sat down side by side with Lin Yutong, and asked, "How is it?"
Princess Xin can only choose from here.
Queen Zhang glanced at her and said, "That's fine! I have a clean and innocent life experience."
Well! Lin Yutong asked Queen Zhang in a low voice, "Do you want to ask King Xin what he means?"
That’s fine! It depends on what kind of girl you want.
Send people over there to ask, and you can see what you should see here.
The first group of ten people came in, brought in by Cui Shangyi. These ten girls were all very outstanding, especially the three standing in the middle.
Lin Yutong first looked at the girl who glanced upward from time to time, "My surname is Tian?"
yes!
Cui Yingyue brought Miss Tian's directory, and Lin Yutong found a name on it, Tian Wan. Is this person the father of Miss Tian?
Lin Yutong knew who this was. This girl Tian must be Emperor Chongzhen's concubine Tian Guifei! The reason why Tian Wan was remembered by Lin Yutong was because Chen Yuanyuan, who was so angry that Wu Sangui was so angry, was brought back to the capital by Tian Wan.
She frowned slightly before speaking, but Empress Zhang said directly: "Your eyes are uncertain and your behavior is frivolous, quit!"
Miss Tian obviously didn't expect this to happen. She immediately turned pale, bit her lip and stood stubbornly, refusing to move.
Zhang Gongling waved his hand and the person was taken directly down.
The rest are obviously scared. It is said that this is not how the palace selects people.
Lin Yutong's eyes fell on the younger one. This girl's facial features were excellent, her skin was white and delicate, but she was a bit small. Looking at her facial features alone, she was beautiful, but also dignified and composed. This girl
My surname is Zhou, and my father is a fortune teller.
This should be Zhu Youjian's queen Zhou.
Even Zhang Gongling couldn't help but look at her for a few times, and then lowered his eyelids. What should I say? This girl's appearance is actually not inferior to that of Queen Zhang. This is the way to select people in the palace. If she were taller, look.
It would be better if it wasn't so thin. But since I'm young, I will grow up eventually, so this doesn't actually hinder me.
This girl stood in the middle of a group of people, which made people feel very different. I'm afraid it was this girl that the 'noble lady in the world' was talking about.
Empress Zhang looked at it carefully, and then kept nodding, "Come closer, and I'll take another look."
Coming closer, Queen Zhang held her hand and took a closer look, then looked at Lin Yutong and asked with her eyes: How do you do?
Just when Lin Yutong was about to speak, Cui Yingyue brought in a little eunuch. This little eunuch was to serve Zhu Youjian. Is there something you want to convey?
Zhu Youjian asked someone to hand over a letter, and Queen Zhang took it first, "This child..." He asked politely, why did he really make a request?
She unfolded the letter, thinking that if the request she made was inappropriate, she would just stop it. But when she took the letter and looked at it, her expression changed instantly. She quickly handed the letter to Lin Yutong, but Lin Yutong didn't do anything.
It occurred to me that the characters on this letter were not from King Xin, but the signature was actually 'Daohuisi'.
The Taoist Huisi was in charge of Taoist affairs in the imperial court. It had been established since the Hongwu period. It also provided fortune-telling for the royal family.
Fourth Master and Tongtong have never paid attention to this place! Of course, the money is only allocated for daily needs.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly jumped out at this time, saying that it was a divination for King Xin! The person chosen for the concubine this time was too murderous and would hinder King Xin.
What does this mean? There are so many girls in the draft who live in the Detachment of Women barracks and are infected with the spirit of murder. If they choose a princess for King Xin from here, it will defeat King Xin.
King Xin can’t have it! The girls have been sent, what should I do now?
Is this forcing me to enter the harem?
Lin Yutong laughed. It seemed that the interests of many people were at stake. Look, they were all directed at him.
Is this because I haven't killed anyone for so long?
You shouldn't be quick to commit murder, but sometimes these people can really tease you.
Amitabha, you cannot commit the sin of killing in vain!
I just finished chanting the Buddha's name in my heart, and Gao Guilan came in with a hand on her arm, "Empress, please give the order!"
what?
kill!
Who to kill?
Kill whoever you say you want to kill!
How can there be any reason to kill people casually? What nonsense!
It’s not nonsense! It’s hard to find a reason for killing someone?! Don’t worry, I’ll go find Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng right now. Anyone you don’t want to see, I’ll kill him in a reasonable and reasonable way! Mr. Song is a military strategist, and he has many ideas, but
It's just a matter of framing someone, it's a trivial matter!
Lin Yutong: "..." You are so loyal and loyal, I wish I could send you a beauty without any principles! Really!
