Chapter 218: King Qi’s Concubine Phoenix Returns 3
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last concubine to enter the harem in six years (the ministers all know that the king collected concubines, but concubines are just playthings after all, and the ministers never regard these people as concubines), now thirty-six
There are only three concubines left. Your Majesty, in order to extend your heirs, please accept your concubines. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, this is related to the national destiny of Qi and the well-being of the people of Qi. Your Majesty, think twice!"
Listening to the four ministers talking to each other, Qi Guo also knew in his heart that what the ministers said was right. In the past six years, except for Tang Jiang, he had never married a concubine. In addition, in the past few years, his
Bloodthirsty, out of the original thirty-six concubines in the palace, there are now only three left. One is Tang Jiang, the wife of Yuyuan, whom he mistakenly married as Penghao; the other is Siluo, the wife of Xiangyun, who was almost executed today; and
One is Li Ji, the wife of Mingxuan, the daughter of a prominent figure in the court. There are not many others, and they are all dancing maids.
Speaking of which, the old ministers were right to worry. It was really time for someone to enter his harem. But it didn't matter to him whether he had a concubine or not. As long as what the old ministers said was right, he didn't want to say anything.
After all, they are all loyal to the country of Qi.
"Ai Qing Ping Shen. What Ai Qing said is true. I am following the report. It's just that I leave this matter to Prime Minister Zou to handle. You can do whatever you want."
"I have discussed it with all your lords and drafted the "Order for the Selection of Concubines." Please take a look at it, your Majesty."
King Wei took it and flipped through it, and saw that it was written on it, ordering the officials of the territorial states and counties to recommend the legitimate daughters, sisters, nieces and granddaughters who are over thirteen years old as show girls, and three from each place will be selected for the palace. After entering the palace, the person in charge will
The Zongbo of Etiquette and Sacrifice is responsible for the primary selection. Then the king will select the concubines. Twenty-two concubines will be selected in the country.
At the same time, the State of Qi sent out marriage invitations to the Central Plains and foreign countries, asking for marriage with princesses from various countries. The number was determined to be fourteen concubines. The future queen would also be selected from these thirty-six concubines.
King Wei looked at it and said nothing. He could see that these veterans had thought very carefully. This not only enriched the harem, but also was a political marriage, which was of great benefit to the current Qi State. They had always been interested in
The countries in the Central Plains are too powerful, and they are all facing each other with swords and weapons. Now it is time to adopt this kind of tolerant policy. The old ministers think very well. He has nothing to say.
But he had his own thoughts in his heart about the queen. He knew that this would probably disappoint these old officials. He had already sworn in his heart that Penghao would be his queen, and from now on, Qi would never be able to take the throne.
"Your Majesty."
At this time, an old minister kneeling at the back raised his head, and it turned out to be Lord Taibu.
"Does Taidivination have a book?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I watched the sky at night yesterday and noticed that the stars were surging. The lone star gave way. I think that if the king chooses a concubine at this time, he will definitely meet the destined lover. That will definitely solve the fate of the king.
The woman seems to have appeared. I think this is the best time to choose a concubine. After this opportunity, I am afraid the king will have to wait another thirty years."
"The last star surges, the lone star gives way." Has the destined woman really appeared? Who is she? After this time, we have to wait another thirty years. In thirty years, he will be old and will still be alive.
Will there be any more heirs? What Taibu said clearly meant that he had to choose a concubine this year.
"Well, as everyone loves you, Prime Minister Zou will be in charge of this matter, and Uncle Zong will assist you."
In the early morning of midsummer, the climate is cool, and the endless grassland is churning with layers of green waves. A black horse, with a black cloak, gallops from the green. Behind the horse is endless green, and in front of the horse is
The tall walls and majestic city gates of Yuzhong City in the North are faintly visible.
As the horses entered the city gate, the city guards all saluted the people on the horses respectfully. However, the people on the horses galloped straight into the city without looking. One person and one horse ran until they reached the palace in Yuzhong City before they stopped.
.The horse kicked off, dismounted, and a gust of wind swirled towards the palace. Not long after, he appeared in the palace of King Quanrong. Facing King Quanrong who was sitting on the tiger skin couch, he knelt down
underground.
"Wolf King, please think twice. You must not marry the princess into the Qi Kingdom."
"Bozhgede's eldest son, please get up. I'm thinking about this too."
King Inu Rong "I heard that my husband Inushu Atsushi smiled and looked at this loyal general who loyally followed Princess Yue Nu. How could he not know his mood? But it's just Yue'er, her heart.
, who can understand it?
Speaking of which, he knew that the eldest son of Bozhgede would definitely come to him as soon as he heard this letter. He was also in a dilemma. If nothing else, no matter what kind of person King Qi was, he just wanted Yue'er to marry Qi Yueyuan.
He also disagreed with everything in his heart about the country. His only daughter had suffered so much, how could he be willing to let her marry far away? He wanted her to always be in his arms.
Down here, living a carefree life like a little bird.
But, is it really different this time? How can we say that the Qi State is the overlord of the Central Plains? Even the King of Zhou has to give some face to the King of Qi. In the past few years, their canine soldiers and strong horses have frightened all the countries in the Central Plains.
It's just that they haven't had a good harvest in the past few years, and they have suffered several natural disasters in succession. They really can't make any strong enemies anymore. Besides, if they can marry the powerful Qi State, the overlord of the Central Plains, it will still be of great benefit to them.
of benefits.
Yes, he is a father, but he is also a Quanrong King. He should put the interests of his people first. That is Yue'er, she was born as the only princess of the Quanrong Palace, which also destined her
mission.
．
King Quanrong weakly closed his eyes, and he remembered what the wizard Moganda told him yesterday. He said that Quanrong, the Quanrong king, was in trouble recently, and it would either lead to the destruction of the country or the annihilation of the clan, or the disaster would bring good luck. Divination is extremely unstable.
There was a big change in the numbers here. He couldn't tell what was going on. But the divination showed that the trouble seemed to come from the south, and it seemed to be a female trouble.
Could it be that the difficulty that Moganda was talking about was the concubine post from Qi State? Is this female difficulty referring to Yue'er?
Yes, he loves Yue'er, and Yue'er is his life, but if compared with the fate of the entire clan, his choice cannot be the choice of a father.
This is what I hate most about being born in an emperor's family. Being born into an emperor's family means enjoying endless glory and wealth, but there are also too many things you can't control. This is the fate of princes and princesses. No one can change it.
"Wolf King, think twice, Wolf King, princess, princess..."
The eldest son of Bozhigede couldn't talk anymore. Yes, no matter what, he would never let Princess Yuenu return to that country. There, they had too many painful memories together. He couldn't, he
He couldn't do this. He couldn't watch her go back into that nightmare. Whether she was Princess Yuenu or his sister Penghao, in short, he had protected her and followed her in this life. Her happiness was
Her happiness and pain must also be his pain. He can't let her go back. He can't let her have the slightest chance of thinking of the unbearable past.
"Father, the eldest son is right. I have also heard that King Qi is not a kind man."
