Chapter 384 Personal Selection

Mu Xiyao bit the spoon, since she got the previous news, she still had a happy face at the moment.

No wonder he tossed her so hard yesterday, it was such good news, even if he got out of control, Mu Xiyao would be able to tolerate it.

In the morning of today, after the crown prince was appointed, Emperor Yuan Cheng once again ordered the chief executive, Gu Changde, to read out the imperial decree. The emperor canonized the fourth son of the emperor, Zongzheng Yunjing, and enfeoffed Yuzhou. The fifth son of the emperor was Zongzheng King Mingning, and he enfeoffed Jingzhou. The eighth son of the emperor, Zongzheng King Hanping, enfeoffed Xinzhou. The imprisoned eldest prince and the deposed prince, none of them were enfeoffed.

When the imperial decree was issued, the court was in an uproar. Since Emperor Kangdi in the Great Wei Dynasty, he never strictly abided by the ancestral rule of "establishing a heir and establishing an elder". But it has never happened before that all the princes who came after the sequence were crowned kings, on the contrary, there were two eldest sons, and none of them were able to be crowned kings.

Furthermore, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit that when a vassal king becomes a vassal, the number of private troops under his command should not exceed 20,000. Compared with Gaozu's time, it is almost reduced by more than half.

In the end, it is the fiefdoms obtained by the kings that people can't figure out in every possible way. It is good to respect the king, Yuzhou is a prosperous place in Kinai, with abundant water and grass, and the people are happy. However, King Ning and King Ping, one of them was awarded the northernmost Jingzhou, and the other was granted the westernmost Xinzhou. Both are important throats of the Wei Dynasty, where the frontier garrison is located.

Such an arrangement, for guarding the prince of Gyeonggi, seems to have planted a hidden danger?

Hidden danger? Mu Xiyao took a spoonful of bird's nest, and finally understood what the current emperor was thinking. Seeing his young son in public, the old man weighed it over and over again, and seemed to think that confining him was a good idea.

After Mobei, according to the previous administration of Emperor Yuan Cheng, he should have taken action against the aristocratic family. Now it seems that the emperor changed his mind and handed over the mess to Zong Zhenglin.

The reason why he was in a hurry to become the king had a lot of inside information.

How could Emperor Yuan Cheng know Zong Zhenglin's disposition? If you don't want the next emperor to see blood when he ascends the throne, at this time, send away the remaining few who have not extinguished their ambitions as soon as possible, lest the grievances are too deep to be resolved.

After all, it was the emperor's decree, so every move had to be considered carefully before the meaning could be discerned.

Abolish the feudal clan... Mu Xiyao was speechless inwardly. This is Lao Tzu forcing his son to rebel, so he can find the wrong place and imprison him together. Zong Zhengming is still good and understands current affairs, so he should be recalled to Shengjing to be a virtuous king in the end. Zong Zhenghan... I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to perceive Emperor Yuan Cheng's intentions. According to his temperament, he might not be able to fall in the end.

Zong Zhenglin will be the one to deal with the changes in the previous dynasty, but after she pays attention to it, she can live happily ever after as a kid.

Mu Xiyao was looking forward to a leisurely life, but soon got the news that Su Linrou was ordered to move to the palace by Helian Minmin.

"Put her alone in the Jinhe Palace?" How could another moth appear just after the ban was lifted? This woman is really muddy and cannot support the wall.

"It's that place. The old slave heard that it was the concubine who got the master's instructions. After noon, Manager Tian arranged for people to help Su Liangdi move to live in the palace on the west side." Zhao Nanny always felt that the place was not good. Lucky, even the name is unwilling to mention.

Where is Jinhe Palace? The deposed prince originally had a concubine, but because he couldn't stand his humiliation several times, he couldn't bear to swallow the gold and committed suicide in the end. And the side concubine's residence is the largest palace in the west, and the word "Jinhe" is neatly written on the plaque. Ever since this incident happened, the people in the palace stayed far away for fear of being contaminated with unclean things. I don't know how Su Linrou provoked the crown prince's displeasure, but that man was so unsympathetic and forced him into that unpleasant place.

What Mu Xiyao didn't know was that Su Liangdi was crying and clamoring to sue the imperial court. Zong Zhenglin wanted to spare her once, but he didn't want this woman to be stupid and cut off his own path of glory, forcing his father to personally beg His Highness the Crown Prince to put her in a cold place in order to save his life.

After listening to Mother Zhao explaining the whole story, Mu Xiyao looked up to Su Bowen. Although Su Linrou is only Liangdi now, from now on... no matter how unfavorable she is, she can still be conferred a third-rank concubine. Even if Zong Zhenglin looked at him, he would not lose the reward of Su Clan's First Palace Master.

"Master Su is very shrewd." He smiled and wiped the corner of his mouth. It is much better to be a pure minister than to leave a stupid daughter to cause trouble in the harem.

In the study room of the East Palace, the Fifth Dynasty received His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and handed over the roster, but he just glanced at it and frowned immediately.

"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to choose the concubine you like from the roster." It is clear that the name that was inscribed by the crown prince himself is nothing like that. And this woman's life experience is...too amazing.

The man standing in front of the desk was fiddling with his fingers with one hand, his eyes were extremely dark.

"Sir, let her be her, just be interesting."

"This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense." Wu Chao repeatedly waved his hands, stroked his beard, and thought for a long time. "It's not the best time to marry this person. During the Battle of Mobei, His Highness hadn't even thought of getting married yet, so why is he looking far away now and wanting to marry the Western Jin Dynasty?"

At this time, it is the best time for the prince to win over the courtiers and stabilize the foundation.

In Zong Zhenglin's half-opened and closed phoenix eyes, a bright light flashed faintly. Opportunities are unstoppable, but what he wants to find out is a doubt that has been on his mind for several months. And the answer lies in that woman.

More likely, there are unexpected gains, but it is not certain.

"Your Highness, have you ever seen a portrait of this person?" In the fifth dynasties, he felt that asking such words was really out of standard.

Shaking his head funny, he finally didn't ask any more questions. "Forget it, Your Highness has made up his mind, and I will try my best to do it for you." If a mere portrait can impress this person, there will not be only one master in the East Palace so far who is very proud. After thinking this through, the doubts arising from the identity of this woman gradually dissipated.

Even if there is still the master in the East Palace, it is unlikely that there will be too much trouble.

"The only candidate for Concubine Liang is still short of one." You added someone yourself, maybe you think you can make the current one count as two, and let you procrastinate.

Knowing that he was the most impatient, he just mentioned this question, but the fifth day and today are just trying to save face, and he has to ask for a result. Emperor Yuan Cheng specially called him to order errands, so he couldn't die without a problem.

With hesitation on the face, Zong Zhenglin weighed it a bit, and finally pointed at another person casually. "It's her."

Seeing the person he tapped with his fingertips clearly, the fifth person stared into his eyes, and almost didn't cry out. Why did he pick another unusual woman. "Your Highness, this woman has a very good family background and has helped you a lot. It's a pity... she's too old to have children. Besides, there are many women from different families in her behavior. Otherwise, you can pick and choose with your heart. Among them, there are people with better background than her, and I can count them, and there are no less than three people."

Is there a woman from a different family? A figure of a woman with teeth and claws appeared in Zong Zhenglin's mind instantly, and there was a slight smile on her unsuspecting face.

"How is it compared to Gu's Mu Shi?"

Well, let's lift that one out. In the world, no matter how special the women are, compared to them, they are all peaceful and honest people. On the fifth day, he let out a long sigh, and finally said nothing to the person who chose him.

After finishing the serious business, I suddenly remembered, why did His Highness the Crown Prince mention that one just now? Yes, the prince called

——"The Lonely Mu Family".

Tsk tsk, there is a lot of importance in it, and you are still choosing a concubine for you at this moment, so you don't have to be scruples, restrain yourself.
