Chapter 157 The Emperor Is in a State of Panic
They seemed to smell something unusual.
Yan Chen's expression was pale and ugly, and he gently closed his eyes. He didn't dare to think about what Si Yuan's disappearance at this time meant.
"I have another suggestion." The Duke of Zhenguo lowered his eyebrows and said, "The emperor ascended the throne a year ago, and it has been half a year. Should we consider selecting concubines to fill the harem?"
Yan Chen was shocked. Yes, this is a good idea.
Since ancient times, the easiest way for emperors to win over court officials is marriage. The daughters of important officials in the court entered the palace as concubines and became royal relatives, and were tied to the emperor's honor, disgrace, rise and fall.
After one queen and four concubines, the families behind the concubines will be more loyal to the emperor, will not be provoked, and will not be easily influenced by rumors. There are also the daughters of the four royal families, as well as the nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world...
Yan Chen pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Wei Changhai, immediately draft an edict to announce to the world that I will select girls in September. All girls from the major families in Dayong who are over 14 years old and under 18 years old must participate in the selection. If anyone disobeys, they will be punished for deceiving the emperor and disobeying the order."
"Your servant obeys your order."
"In this way, I can quickly win over some people who can be won over." Yan Chen sighed softly, "The country is in danger. This method is really good. "
Duke Zhenguo bowed and said: "It is my duty to relieve the emperor's worries and work."
Yan Chen thought for a while: "Since the regent is ill, the Greedy Wolf Army under his command will be temporarily handed over to the Duke to suppress the rebellion."
Duke Zhenguo frowned: "I'm afraid the regent will not agree."
Yan Chen's face changed: "The rebels are in chaos, rumors are spreading all over the world, and the Great Yong is in danger. The regent can't lead the army himself. Is it possible that he still occupies the military power?"
Duke Zhenguo didn't say anything, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. If he could get the Greedy Wolf Army in the hands of the regent, the Duke Zhenguo Mansion could rise again.
This time, if his little daughter can enter the palace smoothly, the Duke Zhenguo Mansion will rise to the sky in one step, and from then on it will be the first family in the imperial city, and no one can surpass it.
At this time, Chen Guojiu was also making a wishful calculation in his heart. The queen mother was originally from the Chen family. This time the emperor selected his daughter again, and the Chen family had two queens. Such honor and favor could not be matched by anyone in decades.
The three kings and ministers were calculating, but they were all thinking about their own interests.
In July, Suzaku City welcomed three... oh no, four guests.
The three kings of Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu all lived in the Suzaku Palace. Only a little girl from the Mu family had been sticking to Yan Qing all the time since she entered the princess's mansion.
"Sister Princess, is this Mr. Wen the one you like? Men and women should not touch each other, how can you live together before you get married?"
"Why haven't I seen him before in Suzaku City?"
"Mr. Wen is quite good-looking, but the four kings, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku and Black Tortoise, are not ugly either. I heard that they are all talented and outstanding. Princess, you can take them all in."
"Sister Princess is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, noble and domineering. If it weren't for the status of my brothers, I would definitely let my three brothers choose one to give to you, sister Princess."
Since this noisy Mu Dongli came to the princess's mansion, these words have been on her lips all day long, repeating them every day without getting tired.
At first, Wen Jin could still listen quietly and ignore it, thinking that she was just talking nonsense.
But in fact, when Mu Dongli came here three years ago, she was only thirteen years old and could still talk nonsense. Now she is sixteen years old and is completely a girl waiting to get married. No matter how hard you try, you can't use the nonsense of children.
Wen Jin felt uncomfortable hearing these words coming from a young girl waiting to be married.
But Yan Qing was very indulgent towards her, so Wen Jin couldn't even pick her up and throw her out.
"Have you met those princes?" Yan Qing asked calmly.
Mu Dongli paused: "I've only seen the Suzaku King."
"Then how do you know they are all handsome?"
"I heard about it." Mu Dongli looked gossipy, "Aren't they living in the Suzaku King's Mansion now? How about Princess Sister call them over to see if they are really as handsome and handsome as the rumors say?"
Yan Qing glanced at her: "I'm not interested in them."
Mu Dongli was silent for a moment, and soon perked up again: "Then Princess Sister is interested in silver? This time I came here, I have already told my big brother to prepare one million taels of silver for the princess sister."
"Didn't you say 500,000 taels before?"
"Is this because Suzaku City has auspicious signs? Add another 500,000 taels." Mu Dongli said with a smile, "Anyway, big brother has a lot of money, Princess Sister, don't refuse."
...
My dears, I will make up for it during the day, and I will change the update from the early morning to the daytime in the future. I don't want to stay up late anymore. Good night.
This book will not be long, and it may be finished in about 400,000.
