Chapter 344 Zhengfei

Under Ma Cheng's suggestion and call, a meeting on the selection of Song Yang's concubine was officially held.

Participants included Gao Liangping, Fang Zhe, Yu Ming, Ma Cheng, Gongsun Qi, Pei Lin, Liu Huairen, Zhang Heng, Chen Fu and other leaders at all levels in Jiangzhou.

There are also representatives of the Daqian clan including King Songtong of Fangzhou, Song Ning, Princess Huimin, Song Chengwang, the crown prince of Fengzhou, Song Kai, the crown prince of Jizhou.

This meeting was quite grand.

Judging from the attendees alone, there were more people than at the annual state-building work report meeting.

Liu Huairen, Zhang Heng and other county magistrates were all recruited by Fang Zhe.

Duchang, Pengze and other places are close by, so it's convenient to visit there.

Fang Zhe wanted to find some help for himself, and he felt that the county magistrates could support his idea.

"Everyone should know what this meeting is for. My opinion is to make Tong Qian the royal concubine."

Song Yang made his position clear in the first sentence he spoke.

Fang Zhe immediately spoke out his opinion.

Before the words came out of his mouth, the old teacher Gao Liangping raised his hand.

"My lord, I think... you should consider Miss Shen."

Grand Master Gao slowly said that it turned out that his thoughts were consistent with Fang Zhe's.

He is also focused on the family background of Tong Qian.

Song Yang didn't understand what happened to his slave status.

Even if you are a slave, you are not serving someone from the royal family.

Those who come out of the palace are not more noble than those outside the palace?

But Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe didn't listen at all to Song Yang's words, and only focused on the slave status.

He also said that Tong Qian is worthy of being a concubine, but not a queen.

Song Yang's mother-in-law is not a queen either.

But the queen was childless and died young.

The most noble person in the harem is Concubine Jing.

Although he did not restore the throne, he still had the highest status.

The prince and Song Yang were both born to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing's children can all become princes, so Song Yang is regarded as a direct descendant.

According to Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe's ideas, Tong Qian cannot be the queen, but she can be the concubine.

If Song Yang really likes it, the concubine's child can also be a prince.

But the queen's position must be vacant.

Song Yang couldn't understand why they were so rigid, so he could only name other people's opinions one by one.

Fang Zhe looked at the bearded Liu Huairen.

This guy looks tall and thick, but he is also a serious scholar.

Fang Zhe thought he would have the same idea as him.

As a result, Liu Huairen supported Song Yang when he opened his mouth.

"My lord, my lords, I think the matter of the princess is a family matter of the prince, so I think the prince can decide on the candidate himself."

"As for the issue of family background mentioned by Grand Master Gao and Master Fang... What does the development and growth of our Jiangzhou have to do with family background?"

Liu Huairen's words made Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe unable to answer.

It can be said earlier that Song Yang’s family affairs are state affairs.

The facts in the last half of the sentence are before your eyes.

Jiangzhou employs people on a merit-based basis regardless of their background.

Even refugees from Jiangbei can still be leaders and earn high salaries as long as they are capable.

Facts have also proved that this model in Jiangzhou can quickly attract talents.

The achievements achieved are also obvious to all.

"Hahaha! Okay! Huairen is right. What about Zhang Heng? What do you think?"

Song Yang laughed and looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng was also a representative of the landlord class, a disciple of Confucianism, and a beneficiary of the imperial examination system.

But Zhang Heng is an enlightened landlord class.

Especially after natural disasters and post-disaster developments, Zhang Heng has realized the importance of following Song Yang closely.

"I also support the prince's views!"

"Identity is determined by nature, but character is acquired."

"The more distinguished the position, the more good moral character is required."

“When Ms. Tong Qian was the director of the Women’s Federation, her work achievements and life style were obvious to all.”

"A person with such a combination of ability and political integrity should abandon the prejudice of status and choose people based on their ability and virtue."

Song Yang was even happier.

There is one more support.

Of course, the happiness did not last long.

The next opponent appears.

And it's still heavyweight.

Uncle Seven.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi was also opposed to Tong Qian becoming the concubine.

"Ah Yang, Xiaoqian can continue the family lineage of our Song family. Uncle Qi thanks her."

"But... when it comes to the position of concubine, Uncle Qi thinks Miss Shen is more suitable."

"Ah Yang. Although the lineage of the Hongzhou kings is not as good as that of Jiangzhou, the Shen family is a big family in Jiangnan and a family of great wealth. In the future, as social and economic development takes hold, the role of merchants cannot be underestimated."

"So in terms of helping Jiangzhou and helping you, Uncle Qi thinks Miss Shen is more suitable."

Uncle Qi's views are different from those of Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe.

He looks at it from the perspective of profit.

If Shen Xiaowan becomes the royal concubine, the Shen family will definitely follow Song Yang even more wholeheartedly.

And you can also get all the power of King Hongzhou.

The king of Hongzhou has no queen, and Hongzhou will basically be handed over to Shen Dan from now on.

Shen Dan is Shen Xiaowan's brother. If he controls Hongzhou, he will be a big power.

So Uncle Qi chose to support Shen Xiaowan after weighing the pros and cons.

Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe did not agree with Uncle Qi's views.

They don't think highly of Hongzhou's power.

Of course, this is also because Jiangzhou is too strong and is not afraid of any challenge.

But Uncle Qi's choice was consistent with theirs, so the two of them didn't say much.

Song Yang frowned and said: "Uncle Qi. In fact, Xiaoqian and Xiaowan have already discussed it. Whoever gets pregnant first will be the princess. Yesterday, Xiaowan told me to give up the position of princess."

"And what I consider is the stability of the future."

"Tong Qian is pregnant first. Regardless of male or female, they are all the heirs of this king."

"Xiaowan is not pregnant yet. What would Xiaoqian think if she were to become the concubine?"

Song Yang argued hard and tried to promote Tong Qian to the position.

Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe are more determined, so they might as well focus on their identities.

The seventh uncle Song Tong, although he supports Shen Xiaowan, he also said that if Song Yang insists on having his own way, he will not say anything more.

Song Yang looked at the others again.

Song Ning, Song Chengwang and other clan members all listened to Song Yang and had no objections.

Most officials also supported Song Yang.

Not many people support Grand Master Gao and Fang Zhe's ideas.

Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe looked at each other, and Gao Liangping said: "Your Majesty, just because Miss Shen is not pregnant now, it does not mean that she will not be pregnant in the future."

"Besides, it is not yet known whether Miss Tong Qian's baby will be a boy."

"How about this. When Miss Tong Qian gives birth to a boy, I will no longer object."

They were ready to settle for the next best thing. If Tong Qian gave birth to a daughter, it would be easier for them to talk.

Song Yang was silent for a long time, originally thinking of agreeing to Gao Liangping's suggestion and ending today's controversy.

Then I thought about it, if Tong Qian gave birth to a daughter, should she be made a princess?

Stand up!

Both men and women must stand!

So why wait until the baby is born?

"Forget it, there's no need to discuss it! The king has already decided that the position of concubine will be given to Tong Qian! There is no doubt about this matter!" Song Yang frowned and said in a deep voice.

In the past, Song Yang was used to discussing everything with everyone, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't insist on his own way.

In Jiangzhou, Song Yang is the absolute authority. You can question and put forward your own opinions.

But if Song Yang decides something, there will be no room for negotiation.

"I obey the king's orders!"

Everyone clasped their fists.

Even Gao Liangping and Fang Zhe are the same.

The discussion of the princess has finally come to an end.
