Chapter 241: Choosing a Concubine
Chapter 241 Choosing a Concubine
"Your Majesty, although the daughter of the Fan family is small, she is not bad at it. She is very capable with a lancet and has the appearance of a heroine."
British Duke Zhang Mao thought that Zhu Houzhao was worried about Fan Hongxia being a girl, so he kept saying nice things to her.
"After a hero, you should be treated well!"
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "There is a daughter in the Fan family and she is willing to serve the country. This is a good thing. I have no reason not to agree."
"The six doors are open for her at any time. When the six doors are established, let her report to Gongsun Shang!"
"In addition, I will order the two best doctors from the Imperial Hospital to treat her brother."
"General Fan is the hero of our Ming Dynasty. How can I just watch his descendants suffer?"
By showing kindness to the Fan family, he not only sympathized with the heroes, but also expressed to the military that he valued the soldiers.
If he doesn't even care about his military relatives, who would be willing to fight and fight for him?
"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty on behalf of the Fan family siblings."
On the way to Chuxiu Palace, Zhu Houzhao said reluctantly.
"Arrived so soon!"
After so many years of nothing, she, a mother, has been looking forward to having a grandson for who knows how long!
But with a smile on her face, she was dealing with Queen Mother Zhang who wanted to hold her grandson: "Mother, Chu Xiu Palace has arrived, let's go in!"
Emperor Zhu Houzhao was also dragged by Empress Dowager Zhang to choose his concubine.
Wherever Zhu Houzhao looked, he saw only one kind of temperament: dignity.
Empress Dowager Zhang was in high spirits, and kept introducing Zhu Houzhao to the background of each beautiful girl, and she had already made preparations in advance.
Queen Mother Zhang was only talking to Zhu Houzhao and didn't notice the schedule. She looked up and was slightly surprised.
Under the auspices of Liu Jin, the concubine selection officially began, and even the jade articles were prepared. It was obvious that Queen Mother Zhang was very concerned about this matter.
"My lords, you still have important matters to discuss."
"That is the girl from the Liu family in Guilin, Guangxi. She is also a good and good girl."
He is not Empress Chen, who loves beauty but not country. Nor is he his father Zhu Youtang, who cannot be deeply affectionate for one person. He only loves his country. Women are really not important to him.
After layers of selection, none of those who can stand here are ugly. They are all as beautiful as peach plums, graceful, dignified and delicate, each with his or her own merits.
The beautiful women in front of me seemed to be mass-produced in a factory. Apart from their different looks, their temperament, figure, walking posture, etc. were all exactly the same without any difference.
Just when Zhu Houzhao was about to fall asleep, Empress Dowager Zhang's shout made him wake up instantly and said: "Which girl does the empress like, I will immediately make her the imperial concubine."
The last time Empress Dowager Zhang came to Zhu Houzhao to choose a concubine for him, Zhu Houzhao asked Empress Dowager Zhang to decide on her own, but she never thought that Empress Dowager Zhang would really take it seriously.
Everyone shook their heads and said no more, and the meeting ended.
Queen Mother Zhang said with a bitter smile.
"Mother, as long as you like this kind of thing, you don't need to make it so troublesome."
Pepper, hematoxylin, porcelain, brocade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, and even guns and artillery, as long as they were owned by the Zhengde Dynasty and did not touch the foundation of the country, all could be traded, even artillery.
Gongsun Shang was indeed a ruthless man known as an "outlaw maniac". He worked vigorously and resolutely, and he quickly completed the construction of the six-door grass platform team.
He was devoted to the country, the country, and the country, so he was qualified to be the emperor Zhu Houzhao, but as a child, Zhu Houzhao was really not that good!
Zhu Houzhao said very coldly in his heart, sitting on the throne, he was not qualified to talk about relationships.
In the Chuxiu Palace, dozens of carefully selected beautiful ladies have been waiting for a long time.
An emperor who is not good at womanizing is simply weird.
Zhu Houzhao planned to use these rune items to make a fortune. Rune items might be common in his place, but they were rare items in other dynasties. No matter how expensive they were, there would always be people willing to pay for them.
"Choosing a concubine is a top priority. You must like her."
Empress Dowager Zhang introduced them one by one, knowing the information of many beautiful women very well, but Zhu Houzhao felt drowsy after listening to them, feeling that choosing a concubine was more tiring than him approving memorials.
She selected several women who she thought were dignified in appearance and had an innocent family background, waiting for Zhu Houzhao to choose.
It is for this reason that Zhu Houzhao decided to sell the artillery developed by Xu Guangqi to various dynasties at a high price. Otherwise, when rune weapons are developed, the existing artillery will have to be depreciated.
If he had time to choose a concubine, he might as well approve two more memorials, or take the time to practice martial arts.
The development of rune power indicates that artillery is no longer the most powerful weapon. Rune weapons will definitely shine in the future. Artillery has begun to gradually depreciate, and its value is not as important as before.
The personnel of the six gates are either selected from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division or recruited from the Sun and Moon Academy, and there are many people with extraordinary strength among them.
If there is a difference, the difference lies in the eyes, which are either fiery or uneasy.
Then he walked side by side into Chuxiu Palace with Zhu Houzhao.
The Great Innate Realm is the ultimate sublimation of the Six Innate Realms. Once you achieve the Great Innate Realm, you will gain incredible magical changes.
"That is the daughter of the Zhao family in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. Although she is not of high birth, she is gentle and virtuous."
"That is a girl from the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that she is a descendant of the Xie family, a wealthy family in the Jin Dynasty."
"Does it matter whether you like it or not?"
Fan Hongxia also successfully entered the Six Gates and won the respect of Gongsun Shang. As soon as she entered the Six Gates, she caught several lawless gangsters. She was the first to be awarded the title of Golden Badge Leader and was nicknamed "Female Rakshasa"!
To carry out trade with various dynasties, the items and resources that need to be traded were quickly listed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The training of rune masters is also going smoothly. There are thirteen students in Sun and Moon Academy who have the talent of rune masters. After a period of training, they are able to write runes independently.
"Zhao'er, Zhao'er"
The Ministry of Rites is screening officials who will lead envoys to various dynasties, and the Sun and Moon Academy is recording the names of literati who are willing to go out for study and training. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Zhu Houzhao had no interest at all in these "mass-produced" ladies, and felt that they were just a waste of time.
“Same old!”
With the help of thirteen rune masters, a batch of rune items were created in a short period of time, such as vases, wardrobes, chairs, etc. Although they had some magical effects, their effectiveness was limited.
His cultivation has reached the peak of Xiantian. Although the realm behind Xiantian has not yet been developed, he can get a glimpse of the great Xiantian realm.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's completely unconcerned look, Queen Mother Zhang sighed helplessly and said meaningfully: "Zhao'er, you are the emperor, you have to think more about the continuous inheritance of the royal family."
Zhu Houzhao had heard so many words like this that he became immune to it. His eyes swept around among the many beautiful women, intending to choose two at random to fool Empress Dowager Zhang first.
Being stared at by the emperor, all the beautiful ladies were a little shy. You must know that before they entered the palace, they were all young ladies who had never left the palace. How had they ever been looked at so unscrupulously?
While being shy, my heart was also filled with a sense of expectation. Being chosen by the emperor would mean that I would fly up a branch and become a phoenix. Not only would I become prosperous, my family would also benefit from it.
Even if it is not easy to be a royal relative of the Zhengde Dynasty!
