Chapter 429 Draft
Zhang Jiuming found Zhang Xuan¡¯s mother Liu, who is the current empress dowager (high-quality text first published, all in %).
Mrs. Liu now lives in a deep palace and stays behind closed doors, chanting Buddha's name all day long and praying for her son and his son's country and country. Zhang Jiuming came to see him about his son Zhang Changguo. Mrs. Liu couldn't bear to lose face, so she took the initiative to go to the Huaxia Palace where her son lived to intercede for Zhang Changguo.
But Zhang Xuan knew her mother¡¯s purpose, so she avoided seeing her. Liu didn't find Zhang Xuan, so she had no choice but to give up.
Because of the emperor's resolute attitude, Yang Qi did not dare to neglect and immediately conducted a joint trial with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple. The case was not complicated, and the trial was completed on the same day. Zhang Changguo was punished according to the law. Zhang Changguo was sentenced to thirty years of punishment and was exiled for five hundred miles. Because he belonged to the royal family, Yang Qi took care of Zhang Jiuming's reputation as an imperial uncle, and sent Zhang Changguo to the prosperous place of Jiangnan.
As long as Zhang Changguo serves three years in prison somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, he can still come back to Beijing in the future.
If he were an ordinary criminal, he would definitely be exiled to a barbaric place like Lingnan. When you get to that kind of place, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die. In Jiangnan, as Zhang Changguo's royal family, local officials would also take good care of him.
Zhang Xuan is right. He did not necessarily put Zhang Changguo to death, but used this to warn the royal family and dignitaries that anyone who violated the law would be punished.
Despite this, the ruling and opposition parties were still quite shocked.
It is relatively rare for the royal family to be accused and exiled. This shows that the emperor respected the law. After this, many of the wealthy and powerful children in the capital felt awe-inspiring and did not dare to go out to cause trouble again, for fear of offending the emperor again and bringing disaster to the family.
certainly. For ordinary people and merchants. He was even more in awe of the emperor's selflessness.
Zhang Jiuming¡¯s family naturally had some complaints. They felt that Zhang Xuan was too unkind. This directly led to a significant drop in the prestige of the Qinghe County Prince¡¯s Palace. With everything going on in the future, who would still take Zhang Jiuming, the uncle of the emperor, seriously?
??But complaints are complaints, and resentments are resentments, but they can only be endured. In the final analysis, Zhang Xuan single-handedly conquered this family, country and world. And it was Zhang Xuan who was sitting on the throne. As for their clan members, they were enjoying the success and seemed glorious. In fact, as long as the emperor said a word, everything that belonged to them would be deprived of them.
Zhang Jiugao entered the Qinghe County Prince's Mansion and went straight to his brother's living room.
Zhang Jiuming sat there in silence, and when he saw Zhang Jiugao coming in, he just nodded moodily (high-quality writing first, all in %).
"Brother!" Zhang Jiugao saluted with his fists clasped.
Zhang Jiuming sighed softly, "Third brother. I don't want this nephew to turn against us and be ruthless after he becomes the emperor, leaving no face for us. Although my third brother and I are called imperial uncles, our reputation is in vain. Now we are just serving the world. A joke."
"Although your nephew made a mistake, he didn't slap him in the face or punish him with a stick. Although his life was saved, the face of our two imperial uncles has been completely wiped out after this."
Zhang Jiugao let out a long breath and said. "Brother, please relax. The emperor is young and vigorous, and he has the power to dominate the world. He naturally has all the power, and no one can offend his majesty. Chang Guo's nephew is also unsatisfactory. Tian Kexin is obviously a popular person around the emperor, and even Yang Guozhong and others He didn¡¯t even dare to offend her, but he had the guts to offend this woman.¡±
"Brother. I heard that this woman and the emperor" Zhang Jiugao remembered a piece of gossip he had just heard from some courtiers. After hesitating for a while, he said softly, "Seeing that the emperor protects this woman so much, I think she will definitely be beaten in the future. Taken into the palace as a concubine"
Zhang Jiuming was originally full of resentment and extremely depressed and irritable. When he suddenly heard Zhang Jiugao's words, he couldn't help being shocked. He stood up and said, "Third brother, are you serious about this?"
Zhang Jiugao also sighed and said, "Brother, although you and I are the elders of the emperor, after all, there is a difference between monarch and minister, and there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. When I got this news, I came here to advise my brother. Don't let this sink in your heart. If Chang Guo's nephew offends this woman and can save his life, it is considered that the emperor is lenient."
A thin layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Zhang Jiuming's forehead.
"If Tian Kexin is really the emperor's woman and was molested by Zhang Changguo, Zhang Changguo, Zhang Xuan can spare Zhang Changguo's life and retain his title instead of being demoted to a commoner, which is already considered merciful.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Jiuming's full of resentment dissipated, but he became a little scared. Although Zhang Xuan was their nephew, he was still the aloof and inviolable emperor first and foremost. His son was so presumptuous that he dared to molest the emperor's woman This
"Third brother, please accompany me to visit Tian Kexin's house."??Brother, I will come to your door in person to apologize for this evil boy! "Zhang Jiuming immediately waved his hand and ordered his servants to prepare gifts.

The Spring Festival and Shangyuan Festival of the second year of Yongning are fleeting. Because Luoyang has become the imperial capital, the entire festival period is naturally more prosperous and lively than in previous years.
After the Shangyuan Festival, everyone in the imperial court, especially Guo Ziyi's Ministry of War and Zhang Xun's Ministry of Household Affairs, began to work hard to make preparations for the emperor's personal expedition (high-quality text first published, all in %).
The third day of March was the day that Zhang Xuan had set for his personal expedition.
Before that, there was another major event in the court, which was jointly organized by the Prime Minister Chen Xilie and the Minister of Rites Pei Mian - the draft to fill the harem of the emperor Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuangui is the founder of the country, but there are currently only one empress and six concubines in the harem. Together with the two concubines who were born as maids, such as Ruyan Ruyu, there are less than ten people. Such a large harem, coupled with the fact that the emperor only had one son and two daughters, simply lost the dignity of the emperor. Therefore, Chen Xilie and Pei Mian went to see Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Cui. After obtaining the consent of Empress Dowager and Empress, they began preparations to enrich the harem for the emperor's draft after the festival.
Whether Zhang Xuan is willing or not, the harem must be filled, because it is related to the emperor's dignity and majesty, as well as the etiquette of the court and the inner court.
Zhang Xuan had no choice but to nod in agreement. However, Chen Xilie was required not to alarm the world, and the scope of the draft was limited to Zhongjing, Heluo and Chang'an, and the number could not exceed 20 people.
Chen Xilie accepted the order, and the court issued an edict on the draft that day.
When the news came out, Heluo, Chang'an, Zhongjing and even the surrounding state capitals immediately set off a wave of drafts.
Emperor Zhang Xuan, young and handsome, with outstanding literary and military skills, is a well-known talented and wise emperor. I don¡¯t know how many young girls admire him. No matter the powerful or the common people. They all want to recommend their daughters to the palace. Once they gain the emperor's favor, they will surely rise to the top and become a relative of the emperor.
In just a few days, there was an overwhelming number of applications from beautiful unmarried girls aged 15-19. The number of places was only 20, but there were more than 1,000 applicants.
Local officials racked their brains to submit the list to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for the draft became the targets of powerful people in China and Beijing. Many people hope to recommend their own girls to the palace and send them to the emperor. Not to mention the families of local officials, even many of the top powerful families in Zhongjing have tried their best to report the fair-looking women in their families to the Ministry of Etiquette.
Among them, they include Guo Fu, the youngest daughter of Guo Ziyi, Pugu Lingguang, the youngest daughter of Pugu Huaien, Yan Qiaoqiao, the niece of Yan Zhenqing, Hulan, the niece of Pei Mian, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Ying, the daughter of Yulin General Zhang Tong, etc. There are also ladies from the Zheng family, Wang family and Lu family, who are high-ranking noble families.
Chen Xilie did not expect that this draft would be so popular that it would trigger a major open and covert fight.
There are too many people signing up. The Ministry of Rites only conducts elimination and screening based on certain conditions and standards. It can choose who can be selected and who should not be selected. In fact, it has a certain degree of secret operation.
There have been so many people visiting in the past few days that Chen Xilie cannot bear the harassment. I had to close the door and not see outsiders. Pei Mian, the Minister of Rites, who was also in charge of the draft, had no choice but to stay in the Office of the Ministry of Rites to escape.
The movements inside and outside the palace naturally spread to the palace.
When Zhang Xuan heard this news, she could only smile bitterly.
As a queen, Cui Ying is well versed in palace etiquette and knows her husband as the emperor. Owning the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard is unavoidable, so her mentality is open and peaceful, and she just has the idea of ????checking for Zhang Xuan.
After all, Zhang Xuan may not favor all the women who come into the palace, but it doesn¡¯t matter whether they are favored or not. As long as you enter the palace and receive the canonization, you have entered the door of their big family. She does not want some women with bad conduct to come in and disturb the harem.
Although the competition outside the palace was fierce, when it came to the palace, she, the queen, still needed to participate in the selection. According to regulations, the Ministry of Rites will submit one hundred people to the palace, and the emperor and empress will personally select them together with the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Who will win in the end is a matter of course.
Wan Chun also has a peaceful mind. As Princess Li Tang and from a royal family, she naturally knew that Zhang Xuan's harem was too deserted and illegal. All she had seen since childhood was the emperor's harem of three thousand people. As the founding king of the country, Zhang Xuan only had 20 people in the draft, which was extremely rare.
"Besides, Wanchun has just proven that she is pregnant, and currently all her thoughts are on her belly. She is indifferent to the draft wave outside the palace and doesn't care much.
Su Hudong is a Uighur princess. It is normal for strong and powerful Uighur people to have countless women. Su Hudong didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Xuan's draft selection.?.
Not to mention sisters Yang Sanjie and Yang Yulian. Yang Yulian was originally a noble concubine and lived in the palace. This kind of thing is commonplace and nothing to make a fuss about. She just wanted the emperor to have a place for her in his heart, and that was enough.
But Li Tengkong and Feng Ming felt a little uncomfortable.
It¡¯s not that the two women are jealous, they just feel that if the emperor has a harem of three thousand in the future, how much place will they have left in the emperor¡¯s heart? I just felt a little worried in my heart.
¡¡
¡¡
Seeing Zhang Xuan sighing and showing a helpless look, Li Tengkong raised his eyebrows lightly and said somewhat sourly, "Your Majesty is really hypocritical. There are so many beauties vying to enter the palace. I'm afraid it's not too late for Your Majesty to be happy"
Zhang Xuan was startled and then laughed (the first high-quality text is in %).
He knew that Li Tengkong was a little jealous, so he chuckled and hugged Li Tengkong into his arms, leaned over and kissed her on the lips. After some kissing and caressing, Li Tengkong was panting and her face was glowing. She sighed quietly and fell into Zhang Xuan's arms and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm so scared of this concubine. Your Majesty has so many concubines, will you forget the slave family in the future?" ?The Nu family heard that there are many concubines in the palace who have lived a miserable life and have not been favored by the emperor"
"Kong'er, the draft is a ritual system and court etiquette. Even though I am the emperor, I can't resist it."
Zhang Xuan said softly, stroking Li Tengkong's little hand, "But you still don't know what kind of person I am? You will always be irreplaceable in my heart."
"Your Majesty, if I don't have to go on an expedition with you, I would also like to have a child" Li Tengkong was touched by Zhang Xuan's tenderness and knew that he could no longer entangle her. Otherwise, it becomes a sign of jealousy. He took the initiative to change the topic, "Now that Sisters Wanchun and Yulian are pregnant, I feel so envious"
Zhang Xuan chuckled, "We have a long way to go, and a long time to come. When we return to Beijing to fight against the thief, I will definitely let you have a lot of children"
Li Tengkong was so ashamed that he couldn't help but muttered, "Is your majesty's concubine a sow giving birth to cubs?"
¡¡
¡¡
Wan Chun was talking to Feng Ming in his palace. Suddenly the palace maid came to report that Li Heng, the king of Tang Dynasty, had come to see him.
Wanchun was a little surprised, but still ordered someone to let Li Heng in. When Feng Ming saw this, he stood up and ran away.
Li Heng quickly entered the palace. Although Wan Chun was a little inconvenienced, he still stood up to greet him. After all, he was her royal brother, the former Emperor Li Tang.
Li Heng did not hesitate at all. He bowed down with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, Li Heng. Meet Concubine Ning."
Wan Chun sighed quietly, looked at Li Heng with complicated eyes, and said softly, "Brother, you don't have to be like this. We haven't seen each other for several years, and brother has grown a lot. Brother, please sit down."
After the brother and sister sat down, they looked at each other and were speechless. The atmosphere was very awkward.
In the end, it was Wan Chun who took the initiative and said, "I don't know, my brother came to the palace to see Wan Chun. What's the matter?"
"As long as my brother sticks to his family and keeps his own integrity and no longer has any ulterior motives, Your Majesty will definitely take care of my brother's lineage for the sake of Wanchun." Wanchun added. The meaning was very obvious, for fear that Li Heng would have any inappropriate thoughts again, so as not to embarrass her.
"Haha, thank you for taking care of me, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is as kind to Li Heng as a mountain, and Li Heng does not dare to show any slight." Li Heng quickly expressed his stance. He added, "Li Heng came to the palace this time because he wanted to ask the empress for something."
"Brother, please tell me, as long as Wanchun can do it, he will definitely do it." Wanchun said softly.
"Li Heng heard about your majesty's draftYanguang is both talented and beautiful. I want to send Yanguang to the palace to serve your majesty and empress. I also ask the empress to say a few kind words in front of your majesty." Li Heng gritted his teeth and said it shamelessly. made his own request.
Although there is a sister named Wanchun in the palace as a concubine, Li Heng is actually not stable in his heart. He only wanted to send his daughter Yanguang to the palace. With Yanguang's talents and scheming, she would definitely be favored. In this way, he, the precarious king of Tang, could live a prosperous life without any risks.
Hearing this, Wan Chun's face suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice, "Wan Chun is the imperial concubine, and my brother actually wants to let Yanguang's niece into the palace. How can Wan Chun live with himself?"
"Don't mention this matter again, never!"
Wanchun was very unhappy. Having an aunt and nephew work together as a husband is not a treasonous act in this era of open folk customs, but it will still arouse criticism from both the government and the public, so how can Wan Chun agree to it.
Seeing that Wanchun turned his back, Li Heng actually knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "My queen, please understand my brother's difficulties. Although my brother has been awarded the title of King of Tang Dynasty, Li Gong, Li Yu and others are stillIn the rebellion in Wuwei If His Majesty takes his anger out on Brother Wei in the future, will Brother Wei's family be able to save their lives? "
"Brother is ultimately the king of subjugation. The kings of subjugation in the past dynasties have rarely died well Brother just wants to spend the rest of his life quietly" Li Heng burst into tears and fell to the ground wailing, "Please Your Majesty, it¡¯s all right!¡±
Li Heng was crying so sadly that Wan Chun couldn't help but feel a little sad. The former emperor of the Tang Dynasty has now fallen to this level, which is really sad and lamentable.
She stood up and walked over with red eyes, helped Li Heng up and said quietly, "That's okay, brother, Wanchun will ask someone to tell Chen Zaifu to see if they can bring Yanguang into the palace. But can he stay in the palace?" , it still needs to be decided by the Queen and His Majesty, so don¡¯t have too much hope. Based on Wanchun¡¯s understanding of Your Majesty, he is definitely not willing to keep Yanguang in the palace because I am here."
"Please rest assured, brother, as long as he stays safe, even if my sister risks her life, she will keep him safe and wealthy for the rest of his life. Although Li Tang has perished, his brother is still my brother after all. Who in the government and the public dares to bully him? Brother, Wan Chun will never agree!"
Wan Chun looked solemn and said resolutely.
Li Heng kowtowed to the ground, but he was secretly happy in his heart (the first high-quality text is in %).
He came to the palace today to see Wanchun. On the one hand, it was about Yanguang's entry into the palace, but on the other hand, he also wanted to test Wanchun's attitude. The emperor loved Wanchun very much, and it was known to both the government and the public. If Wanchun was willing to protect the Tang Palace, who in the capital would dare to neglect him?
It was Yanguang's idea to enter the palace this time. Yanguang had no hope of entering the palace. Based on her intuition, she felt that the emperor would not accept her, even if she looked like a fairy. But whether he can enter the palace or not, he can go to the palace. As long as Wanchun is willing to be their family's backer. This is far more valuable than entering the palace as a concubine.
Of course, if she is lucky enough to enter the palace and have the opportunity to contact the emperor, Yanguang is also very confident. With her beauty and skills, it is conceivable that she will be favored by the emperor.

??Guo Ziyi Mansion.
Although Guo Ziyi was not named a marquis and became one of the eight founding princes, Guo Ziyi was the deputy commander-in-chief of the world's military forces. He also entered the cabinet and became the Minister of War, becoming one of the seven prime ministers. It can be said that he has a high and powerful position and can be regarded as the first of Zhang Xuan's trusted ministers.
Therefore, Guo Ziyi's mansion is also one of the largest mansions in Luoyang City, Zhongjing. It was originally a county palace of the Li and Tang royal family and was rewarded by the emperor.
Several of Guo Ziyi¡¯s sons became officials, most of whom were local officials. Only the eldest son Guo Yao served as the imperial censor and was regarded as the official spokesman of Ducha Province.
Guo Ziyi¡¯s youngest daughter Guo Fu was also on the emperor¡¯s draft list. This was the operation of Mrs. Guo Ziyi and her eldest son Guo Yao. Guo Ziyi did not know about it at first.
Guo Ziyi got the news from Pei Mian. Somewhat unhappy, he returned to the house and called his wife, Guo Yao and Guo Fu to his study.
It is naturally good to be married to the emperor, but Guo Ziyi is an upright person, but he does not want to lose the reputation of following the trend and climbing up the dragon and the phoenix. Furthermore, he is an enlightened father and knows that once a woman enters the palace. It's okay if he can be favored, but if he is not favored, he can only live in silence for the rest of his life. He is not willing to increase the future of himself and his family at the expense of his daughter's happiness.
Seeing that his father¡¯s face was not very good-looking, Guo Yao said cautiously, ¡°Father¡¡±
Guo Ziyi suddenly slapped the table and said angrily. "You are so bold! Who asked you to sign up for Fu'er? Now that you are on the list of the Ministry of Etiquette, you can't withdraw even if you want to"
Once you enter the big list, you will naturally not be able to withdraw. You can only wait for the emperor to eliminate you. If he voluntarily withdraws, it would be contempt for the emperor's authority. Guo Ziyi cannot afford this crime (high-quality text first published, all in %).
Guo Yao hesitated and said, "Father, the child has discussed it with her mother. Now the powerful officials in the court are sending their daughters to the palace, including Pugu Huaien, Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Tong and Pei Mian Father, please forgive me. Frankly speaking, if the women of these families are favored in the palace, it is still a question whether the status and power of my father, an important cabinet minister, can be preserved, and Pugu Huai'en is eyeing his father's position covetously"
Mrs. Guo also sighed and said, "Ms. sir, you are busy with government affairs, and we both have no time to talk to you about this matter. The child is right."??¡ªI feel that at least in this matter, our Guo family cannot lag behind them! "
"Fu'er is beautiful in appearance, both civil and military, upright and generous. If she enters the palace, she will not lose to other children"
Guo Ziyi raised her eyebrows, sighed, and softened her tone and said, "But -"
He knew in his heart that what his wife and son said was not unreasonable. Not to mention others, Pu Guhuai'en believed that he was the founding father of the country and a veteran general in the army. His prestige in the army was no less than his. He had long coveted his position as Minister of War and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the World. . If Pugu Huaien becomes a relative of the emperor, it is hard to say how long he, an important minister whose de facto power position is second only to Chen Xilie, can last.
Guo Ziyi looked at her daughter Guo Fu, who had been silently bowing her head, and sighed, "But this will make Fu'er"
Before Guo Ziyi finished speaking, Guo Fu raised her head and said resolutely, "Father, my daughter is willing!"
"The daughter's family will eventually get married" Guo Fu sighed quietly, "If it can help the father and the family stabilize their status, it doesn't matter even if the daughter is sacrificed. Besides, if the daughter enters the palace, she may not be left out in the cold. .¡±
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
In fact, at this moment, Pei Mian has already reported the list of 100 people to Zhang Xuan's desk.
Zhang Xuan closed her eyes and rested her mind, listening to Pei Mian standing on one side and introducing the basic information of the girls. He originally didn't care, as long as the Ministry of Rites approved it, he would select 20 women to enter the palace and canonize them, and that would be it, so that people like Chen Xilie would not always nag in his ears.
Although he is an emperor, he will never accept a woman without feelings, even if she has status. Therefore, when these women came into the palace, he didn't care much about their appearance, talents, background, or background.
But when Pei Mian read a name, Zhang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked. (To be continued)
