Consort of a Thousand Faces

Chapter 474: Draft

Views:

Su Xier handed the letter to Feng Changqing and ordered, "Burn it."

Feng Changqing nodded, and then took the letter to his sleeves, with some worry on his face, "The letter has been delivered urgently. I don't know what happened?"

"As an emperor, there is always something involuntary." Su Xi'er said slowly, with a long gaze, and then looked at Pei Qianhao, "Ajing, if you were Lian Chen, what would you do? Yun Ruofeng could not have the remaining military power. Fei Yibing withdrew, but the ministers set out a condition. At the age of sixteen in Lian Chen, the palace began the draft. Regardless of whether the minister's children or ordinary people meet the conditions, they can enter the palace to stand for election."

Pei Qianhao's eyes were deep, and he thought for a while and said, "The monarch of a country, if he can't even deal with this point, then he is not suitable to be a monarch. Xi'er, you can't interfere in this matter. Ning Lianchen has two choices. Either appease the courtiers, conduct drafts, and then select the daughters of important ministers into the harem. Or suppress them with Longwei and send troops directly."

What he said is reasonable, Su Xi people think for a while, Yun Ruofeng will take power and put the soldiers as the most important thing. If you send troops directly, it will chill everyone's hearts, which is really not a good strategy. Rather than talking about two choices, it is better to say that there is only one and agree to the draft.

Feng Changqing on the side said, "Princess, what is your suggestion? Do you need an urgent letter to inform the emperor?"

Su Xier shook her head, "Lian Chen knows that I won't take care of the matter if I can't receive the letter. I believe him, this matter will be handled very well. You can withdraw."

Feng Changqing bowed and saluted, "Subordinates retire." After the words were over, he turned and left the main hall.

"Xi'er, if you're worried, go to Nan Zhao." Pei Qianhao looked at her raised eyebrows and couldn't help stepping forward and embracing her in his arms.

"No, Beimin's affairs are not stable. You can't leave. I will stay with you. I believe in Lianchen and he will do well. This is also a test for him." Su Xi'er nestled in his arms, double Embrace him with arms back.

Pei Qianhao gave a soft hum, did not speak, and couldn't help but look far away. He believed that when Ning Lianchen was writing this letter, he had already paid attention. Not long ago, the soldiers came to report that Emperor Nan Zhao didn't use eight hundred elite soldiers for a long time, but only told them to station in the suburbs of Beijing and stay still. Since you don't move the elite, you can only agree to the draft.

As an emperor, he was sixteen years old, and the ministers considered it in common sense.

Everything was as expected by Pei Qianhao, Ning Lianchen made a decision that night and agreed to the courtier's advice to select women of the right age for the draft.

The next day, the Ministry of Rites issued the emperor’s will. The daughters of private state officials, wealthy businessmen, or non-members, all attached conditions can be reported. After the initial screening, they can enter the palace to participate in the first round of selection.

The daughter of the important minister of the North Korea had already packed up, dressed up exquisitely, got on the carriage, entered the palace, and stayed in the Palace of Women's Collection.

All women are fifteen to eighteen years old. Before entering the palace, each one has to look at their faces, match the eight characters, look at their family background, their own talents, and ask women's precepts before they can enter.

By the time of Shen's time, there were already 20 ministerial women in the Cainv Hall, and in a few days, more women would swarm in. A total of 80, these women will be strictly selected, and finally ten are left to enter the harem to serve the emperor.

These days are also a time when Liu Yinyin's mood is extremely wrong. There was only one square bell to grab candy, but now there are so many women! There is only one piece of candy in total. Everyone tastes a bite. She is not happy!

In Liu Yinyin's heart, Ning Lianchen had become a piece of candy. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the veil in her hand was pulled into a small rub. I only hate myself for being young, why is only ten years old? If she grows up to five years old, she will squeeze into the Women's Collection Hall and beat all those women to the ground! Let them grab candy to eat!

"Miss Yinyin, Tremella wolfberry soup is here. It's cold in winter. Drink some to warm up." The maid came in with a little Gu nutrition soup with a respectful face.

Liu Yinyin twisted his head, "I don't want to eat, take it out."

"The emperor specially ordered the imperial dining room to make it for you. For the sake of the emperor's face, how about a couple of sips?"

"If you don't drink, don't drink!" Liu Yinyin finished speaking, and got up from the chair quickly. He was busy choosing women, and he didn't come to see her, so he asked the Imperial Dining Room to make something for her, so he could send her away? She can't sit still, she must take the initiative to attack, this candy belongs to her!

Regardless of the imperial lady's stopping, Liu Yinyin ran out of the palace with all his strength and went directly to the imperial study room. After walking for a while, she saw a group of women walking in front of her, who then turned into a palace road and walked forward.

As soon as he turned his eyes, Liu Yinyin walked forward, and it didn't take long for him to see three large black characters written in front of the palace door, Cai Nudian.

Liu Yinyin opened his eyes, and the woman who lived in the Palace of Women's Picking was the one who entered the palace to participate in the draft! Hands clenched into fists, so many women!

Just when I was angry, a series of female voices rang out, "Today I saw the emperor, he is so handsome, he is the best-looking man I have ever seen in my life!"

"I saw it too, and he helped me."

"What's so proud of? The daughter of Imperial Doctor Fang is his favorite woman. She doesn't live in the Palace of Women's Collection, and it has become a habit to go in and out of the emperor's palace. I heard that the emperor has summoned her in the Imperial Study Room!"

"So, what did Taifu Liu's daughter say in the palace?"

There was a hint of irony in the voice of the woman who replied, "She is only ten years old, and she hasn't come to Kuishui, a hairy child with no femininity. How can you pick up the emperor and serve the emperor?"

When the words were over, a group of women laughed, and their voices were full of ridicule.

These words were all heard by Liu Yinyin, and she almost rushed in with anger, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't get angry, so she found the emperor before saying it.

So, she turned around and went straight to the Imperial Study Room. After living in the palace for a while, she knew exactly what was right. Seven turns and eight turns, and finally walked to the front of the Yushufang courtyard.

Before entering, a guard suddenly appeared to stop her, "Miss Yinyin, you can't go in."

Before Liu Yinyin spoke, she saw Fang Lingding coming out of it, and she said angrily, "Why can Miss Fang Jia go in, I can't?"

The guard knew her temper and was spoiled by the emperor, but the emperor told him to obey it.

So, the guard said, "The emperor said that you can't go in, and there is no way for your subordinates. Miss Yinyin, I hope you are considerate."

Liu Yinyin exploded, and specially ordered the guards to stop her when she saw her! Fang Lingdang can go in!

At this time, Fang Lingdang came over, saluted her fortune, and called out, "Miss Yinyin."

Liu Yinyin snorted coldly, "Don't pretend to be gentle in front of me, I won't eat this set."

"Miss Yinyin, can you take a step to speak?" Fang Lingding finished speaking, stepped forward, approached Liu Yinyin, and whispered, "It's about the draft, don't you want to know?"

When the words were over, Fang Lingdang walked forward, knowing that Liu Yinyin would definitely follow.
