Seeing that Li Maochang still refused to let go, Zhang Guoji suddenly became angry and said loudly: "I wonder which powerful family in the capital it is?"

"Brother, listen to me." After taking a sip of tea, Li Changmao continued: "My great emperor is rich all over the world, and Lord Tianqi, who has just ascended the throne, is just sixteen years old this year. Yesterday, I received an official document from the prefect's Yamen.

It is necessary for the county to select three beautiful girls to select a queen for His Majesty. The virtuous niece who is of the right age and has good appearance should be selected." After Li Changmao finished speaking with a smile, he looked at Zhang Guoji expectantly.

At this time, Zhang Guoji was sitting on the chair with a lifeless face. He knew that he could not escape this time. When he got over it, he sighed in despair. Once he entered the Houmen, it was as deep as the sea, let alone the palace gate? At this time

He already understood why Li Changmao did this, and he would probably do the same thing!

Zhang Guoji naturally has confidence in his daughter. Regardless of her appearance, talent, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is the best choice. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the queen dare not say anything, but the imperial concubine still has hope. Even so, Zhang Guoji still doesn't want to

Let women enter his palace and covet wealth and honor.

There were very few decent emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Most of them were addicted to drinking and debauchery and died early.

Looking at Zhang Guoji's appearance, Li Changmao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and gritted his teeth, seeming to have made up his mind and said: "Brother, I know you feel sorry for me, if you really don't want to!"

Zhang Guoji was a little surprised after hearing Li Maochang's words, and then looked at Li Maochang with hope.

Looking at Zhang Guoji's appearance, Li Maochang knew that there was nothing he could do if he forced Zhang Guoji's woman into the palace. He might not say anything at this time, but he would wait for revenge in the future! Why not sell her now?

One is good! Thinking of this, Li Maochang said: "Brother, I can only put your daughter's name at the back without making any special recommendation. As for the other brothers, there is nothing I can do."

Looking at Li Maochang's appearance, Zhang Guoji was also a little moved. It was not easy to sacrifice his own future to do this. As for cheating, let alone Li Maochang, he didn't dare either. Once Jin Yiwei discovered it, it would be a big deal.

The sin of exterminating the nine tribes.

"Thank you, dear brother." Zhang Guoji stood up gently and gave a gentle salute to Li Maochang, saying with a grateful face.

"Brother, you're welcome." Li Maochang hurriedly helped Zhang Guoji up and said with a bitter smile. At this time, he was very disappointed in his heart.

Just when the two had reached an agreement, a man suddenly walked in and said to Zhang Guoji, "Dad, I am willing to enter the palace." The person who came was none other than Zhang Yan.

"What are you doing here? You can't come here, why don't you hurry up and get out." Seeing the woman Zhang Guoji, his heart tightened and he heard what his daughter said, and he immediately became furious and yelled angrily.

"Brother, don't be angry. Niece Xian came just in time. Tell me why you want to enter the palace?" Li Changmao's heart became active again at this time. Since the protagonist is willing, Zhang Guoji's attitude is not so important.

"Yan'er meets Uncle Li." Zhang Yan did not call Li Changmao the county magistrate but called herself niece. After giving Li Changmao a salute, she said: "Since the emperor has issued an edict, it is an imperial edict. What my father and uncle did is an act of divine will."

, maybe the emperor doesn't know, but it doesn't mean that no one knows. There are people from the Jinyi Guards in our Xiangfu County. At this time, I think they should also have received the order from above. They must also know about my existence, and they may even have me.

His portrait may have been reported at this time. Although our Xiangfu County is not big, there is also a Jinyi Guardhouse. If this incident comes to light, Uncle Li will be derelict in his duties and he will be dismissed from office. I am afraid that our Zhang family will also be punished.

Your home will be confiscated. Since you can't avoid it, why not do it openly?" Zhang Yan spoke in a low voice, but Zhang Guoji and Li Changmao were stunned. That's right! They thought things were too simple.

After a while, Li Changmao suddenly realized that something that neither he nor Zhang Guoji had realized, this fourteen-year-old girl actually thought of. It seems that she is very extraordinary and wants to be a royal concubine. It seems that she has a chance

coming.

While the whole country was busy with Emperor Tianqi, the new emperor was taking a walk in the Forbidden City. Naturally, he knew nothing about what was going on outside, except that he knew that his election had begun.

Looking at the tall palace walls of the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi had the idea of ​​going out for the first time. He had been locked up in this deep-walled compound since he came to this era. It was really boring to think about it.

"Li Lan, what do you think it's like outside?" He looked back at Li Lan who was following him. As for Chen Hong, he was simply ignored by Emperor Tianqi.

"Your Majesty, I can't remember many things that happened when I entered the palace at the age of six. The life outside my memory is lively and colorful." Li Lan also looked very yearning. It was obvious that the life that had been like a prison for so many years was so frustrating.

The little girl also wants to leave here.

"I wonder when I can go out and have a look!" After listening to Li Lan's words, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did he want to travel through time and become an emperor? If he was a prince, he would take beautiful women to visit mountains and rivers every day.

How happy it is!

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Li Lan felt nothing, but Chen Hong's expression suddenly changed, no way! The Emperor Zhengde back then was addicted to traveling incognito. If the emperor in front of him also had such a hobby, what would happen?

This is really troublesome. Every time the emperor travels, it costs a lot of money. Even traveling incognito will consume huge manpower and material resources.

"Lan'er, do you have a dream?" After a long time, Emperor Tianqi came back to his senses and asked again to Li Lan beside him.

"I hope that all the people in the world will no longer suffer and can have food to eat and money to spend. They don't have to worry about their daily livelihood every day. Someone will make the decision when something happens, and they won't be beaten for no reason." At this time, Li Lan said.

The mood was a little low, while Emperor Tianqi on the other side fell into deep thought.

Looking at the crowd in front of her, Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that there would be so many people. The place she was in was the governor's office of Xiangfu County. Xiangfu County at this time was Kaifeng in later generations, and the former

There was a separate Kaifeng Prefecture in the dynasty, but it disappeared in the Ming Dynasty. Kaifeng Prefecture was directly merged into Henan and renamed Xiangfu County.

Seven days have passed since she knew she was going to participate in the post-election. During these seven days, Zhang Yan has already participated in one selection. But that time was the selection from each county to the prefecture, and this time she will participate in the selection of the entire Henan Province.

At this moment, Zhang Yan, who was standing at the gate of the governor's office, had mixed feelings in her heart and was very confused. Looking at the carriage parked at the gate of the governor's office and the servants standing there, Zhang Yan knew that these people must have been selected later.
