Chapter 242 Seventy-Two Servants
The carriage arrived at the eldest princess's mansion. Chu Qinghuang got off the car and entered the mansion. He ordered Mingyue to prepare lunch and left several servants to eat in the Dongshang Pavilion.
"Starting today, I will officially compete for the heir apparent." Chu Qinghuang announced, "From now on, all banquets with officials and invitations from the princes and dignitaries will be accepted by the eldest princess's palace."
Hong Yu was the first to clapped her hands: "Great! I really want to see Your Highness ascend the throne now. As the Queen, Your Highness can have three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines——"
Wen Zhan corrected: "Seventy-two servants."
"Oh." Hong Yu changed her words in a good tone, "With the seventy-two serving princes in the three palaces and six courtyards, I can compete for favors in the harem and become prosperous. No one will be my opponent. I must be your highness's favorite. The most beloved concubine, doting on the harem, and being arrogant——"
"Xiao Yu'er." Qi Ling interrupted him calmly, "You can have dreams, but you have to be realistic."
Hong Yu glared at him: "Can you stop pouring cold water on me?"
What is unrealistic? Never heard that everything depends on human effort?
"Sorry." Qi Ling apologized sincerely, and then added, "I can be a military concubine."
After the words fell, several other pairs of eyes looked at him.
Hong Yu is just competing for favor, but Qi Ling actually wants to join the fight for favor?
After a moment of silence, Hongyu asked curiously: "Why Concubine Wu?"
Qi Ling calmly said: "The military general is the concubine, isn't he the military concubine?"
Hong Yu gained knowledge: "Then Wen Zhan is Concubine Wen?"
"Concubine Wen, this is a good title." Wen Zhan nodded slowly, "I like it."
"Then Zhong Zhongjin will be called Jin Fei." Hong Yu clapped her hands, "Not only does it sound nice, but it's also dignified."
Zhong Jin smiled: "It's indeed good."
"Call Chu Lingchuan Concubine Chuan? It doesn't sound good." Hong Yu frowned, "How about calling Concubine Lingchuan?"
Chu Lingchuan smiled slightly: "I can't be the main palace?"
"Main Palace?" Hong Yu sneered, "Where did you put the family name?"
The surname is Fu?
Several people turned their heads in unison and looked at Fucang, who was sitting next to Chu Qinghuang. He was expressionless, and there was no trace of any emotion on his delicate and cold face.
Facing the eyes that floated towards him, Fu Cang's expression was still indifferent and distant, sharp and restrained. The high-ranking Zhenggong was full of momentum, and was calm and calm that the other chattering people could not match.
However, no one could see that Fucang now wanted to throw them all out with two hands.
He wanted to tell them directly that his master had promised him the title of Prince Consort, but thinking that his talents were not good now, Fucang decided that he should improve his skills first and talk about the rest later.
But how can I make rapid progress in my music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Fu Cang narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Among the people at the table, only Chu Qinghuang was eating seriously. While eating, she listened to their discussion with great interest, as if she had ascended the throne and started a large-scale draft. The discussion was very serious.
I never thought about the various obstacles and difficulties that would be faced in the process of fighting for the reserve, as well as the consequences that would be faced if the fight for the reserve failed.
When the discussion among several people stopped, Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Let me find out the details of all the officials in Lingchuan and Mianbei fiefdoms. Let Qi Ling subdue those who are worthy of important positions. Those who are corrupt, accept bribes, and abuse their power." , The common people have obtained all the evidence, before King Zhenbei leaves the imperial capital, I will give him several big gifts. "
Chu Lingchuan accepted the order: "Yes."
"Qi Ling, starting tomorrow you will officially serve as General Zuo of the Silver Armored Army. Remember to wear General Zuo's armor, bring General Zuo's military talisman and seal, build a good relationship with the generals in the army, and select some young generals you think are worthy of training. Be prepared to take charge of the Mianbei fiefdom and military power in the future."
Qi Ling responded: "Yes."
"Wen Zhan, during this period, you should study your lessons carefully. In your free time, you can go out for a walk and interact with the children of the aristocratic families who are about to attend the Autumn Festival. If you can make friends with them, don't force them. If you can't make friends with each other, don't force it. Please pay more attention to me. The talent and character of the children of the aristocratic family.”
"yes."
"Chongjin." Chu Qinghuang's eyes turned slightly, "While you assist Lingchuan in handling the accounts, you can go home and walk around more. By the way, you can help me understand the big and small things inside and outside the imperial city, as well as the officials who are ignorant, corrupt and perverting the law. , down to bullies committing crimes and oppressing the people... All violations of law and discipline will be recorded in a book and reported to Dali Temple. I want to see their efficiency in handling cases. "
Zhongjin nodded: "Yes."
"Your Highness." Hong Yu raised his hand, "What about me?"
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him: "You can dress up nicely these two days and go to various brothels to see which officials in the court like to hang out in the brothels."
"Ah?" Hong Yu frowned, "His Highness still likes to control officials visiting flower houses?"
"I have no interest in them visiting the flower house, but if they are doing other things in the flower house, I still want to know about it." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "You don't know that the brothel hook is the best way to conspire. land?"
Hong Yu said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely complete the mission."
