Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Tai Chi Hall,
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and Eunuch Gao retired from the court without incident after shouting.

Li Shimin asked: "My dear friends, what do you want to play today?"

The ministers turned around, but no one spoke.

Su Yu is Li Shimin's son-in-law. He knows astronomy and geography, and can predict the future. These ministers feel that it is enough for them to come here every day.

As for any major military affairs, it is enough for Li Shimin to discuss with Su Yu.

Fang Xuanling came out suddenly, and said: "Your Majesty, as the order of Zhongshu, I shouldn't have said these things."

"However, according to etiquette, the Sangong Sixth Courtyard is the righteousness of virtue, which cannot be ignored."

"The emperor is worried about government affairs. He has not selected the best women in the world to enter the palace for many years. I ask the emperor to choose a concubine to enrich the harem."

It is the act of a foolish emperor that the emperor elects the most beautiful women in the world to enter the harem.

For example, Yang Guang was like this back then.

The other ministers were a little surprised that Fang Xuanling said such a foolish emperor so legitimately.

Everyone looked at Wei Zheng, at this moment he should come out and scold the faint king.

Eyes fell on Wei Zheng
"I played to the emperor, and I thought that what Zhongshu Ling said was reasonable."

Wei Zheng came out to worship.

He knew that all the ministers were watching him, waiting for him to rush forward.

Wei Zheng actually agreed with Fang Xuanling's suggestion?

Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and others nodded and smiled, they already understood everything.

This was another trap that Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling had discussed. If they objected, they would definitely fall into the trap.

Therefore, at this time should
"What Zhongshu Ling said is very true, and the ministers and others seconded it."

Chai Shao came out first to worship the dance.

Li Xiaogong bowed and said: "My minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The ministers all agreed with Fang Xuanling's formulation, although they didn't know what happened.

Cheng Yaojin muttered: "It seems wrong, this is the work of the faint king, why do you all agree?"

Qin Qiong poked Cheng Yaojin with his elbow, and said: "You don't care if he did it because of the faint king, just second the proposal."

All the courtiers agreed, and Li Shimin was very satisfied.

Di Renjie stood at the bottom and laughed secretly: What the hell are you doing, young master?The same goes for these ministers, regardless of indiscriminateness, they just come up with second opinions, a bunch of idiots.

"Okay, then post a notice and select the world's beauty industry, and talented daughters will be candidates for the palace."

"The Zhongshu Ling is in charge of this matter, with the assistance of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the advising doctor."

"Let's retreat."

Li Shimin said.

"Emperor Shengming."

The ministers sent Li Shimin off respectfully.

After the court was over, Cheng Yaojin pulled Xuanling's house and asked, "Old Fang, what is that boy Su Yu doing?"

Cheng Yaojin knew that as long as Li Shimin behaved strangely, it must be Su Yu who was behind his back.

So Cheng Yaojin didn't ask what the emperor was doing, but directly asked what Su Yu was doing.

Fang Xuanling clicked his tongue and said, "Duke Zheng, how can you call the son-in-law by his name directly?"

"Besides, what does the emperor have to do with the son-in-law when he chooses a concubine?"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled and said, "Old Fang, don't lie to me. My old Cheng is also a frequent visitor to Sujiazhuang. I don't know that Su Yu is full of bad things."

"Tell me, what exactly does Su Yu want to do?"

Cheng Yaojin was messing around, but Fang Xuanling didn't want to tangle with him.

"Zheng Guogong, the emperor asked you if you had any objections, and you seconded it, and then came to question me again, do you want to resist the order?"

Fang Xuanling pulled Li Shimin out to press him.

Cheng Yaojin is not a fool, and disobedience is a serious crime.

"Forget it, why are you bluffing me with the emperor?"

Cheng Yaojin no longer pestered Fang Xuanling, and swaggered out of the court.

The other ministers also wanted to ask, but Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed, and they probably couldn't ask anything, so they simply didn't ask.

Fang Xuanling and the others received the imperial decree, and according to Su Yu's plan, they immediately issued a document and announcement to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

All the provinces and provinces got busy, selecting beautiful women to enter Chang'an to choose concubines.

When the document arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, it attracted a person, and this person was Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian's real name was Wu Jue, and her childhood name was Hua Gu.

His father is the governor of Jingzhou, the warrior Xun, and his mother is Yang, the daughter of Yang Su, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty.

Of course, it is not clear whether the Yang family is Yang Su's daughter or Yang Su's maidservant.

The Yang family was the successor of the warrior Yi. After his death, his sons bullied Wu Zetian's mother and daughter, so they moved back to Luoyang from Jingzhou.

After the document arrived in Luoyang, the Luoyang order posted a notice to select beautiful women to enter the palace.

Yang came out to sell the embroidered clothes, just in time to see the notice.

Yang is proficient in writing and ink, and can read and write.

Seeing the notice, he shook his head secretly: Who would send their daughter to the palace to be a widow.

Yang knows the life of the women in the palace.

A group of women are just waiting for an emperor to come.

Basically, it's a widow. It's better to marry a wealthy family in the folk and live a comfortable life.

The embroidered clothes were sold in the store, and the rice oil was exchanged, and Mrs. Yang returned home.

There are four of them, mother and daughter, living in the alley.

After entering the door, the eldest daughter Wu Shun is embroidering, the second daughter Wu Zetian is reading and writing, and the third daughter Wu Yi is also embroidering.

The mother and daughter make a living by embroidery in Luoyang, earning hard money.

Seeing Wu Zetian reading again, Yang was not happy.

"Hua Gu, why are you being lazy again?"

Yang said.

Wu Zetian put down the book and said, "Ma'am, when will you be able to embroider all day long?"

Embroidering day and night, my eyes hurt, Wu Zetian didn't want to embroider.

"We are helpless, how can we live without embroidery."

Yang sighed helplessly.

Wu Shun said with a sneer, "Second Lady is high-minded, maybe she can marry Su Consort Su like Princess Changle."

The news of Su Yu's marriage to Princess Changle spread throughout the world.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is close to Chang'an City, so they naturally know it.

It is said that Su Yu is a man like a god, but Li Shimin insists on marrying his daughter.

Wu Zetian snorted coldly and said, "Sister, wealth is unknown, how do you know that I cannot marry Prince Su."

"Then I will wait for you to marry Prince Su and enjoy the happiness."

Wu Shun shook his head and laughed.

Wu Shun thought it ridiculous that they still wanted to marry Su Yu in their current state.

Wu Zetian ignored Wu Shun.

Yang said: "Just now I read the notice on the street, saying that the emperor drafts girls to enter the palace."

"It is said that the current sage is the lord and Mingjun, and it seems that he has the same virtue as Yang Guang."

The third sister Wu Yi smiled and said, "Second sister, why don't you go to draft girls, and when you become queen, we will ascend to heaven."

Wu Yi said unintentionally, but Wu Zetian was tempted.

"Alright, I'll go."

Wu Zetian said.

Yang frowned and said: "Women in the palace are widowed, so going away may not be a good thing. Why don't we find a wealthy family to marry here, and our mother and daughter will also have a care."

"Aniang, don't miss Er Niangzi's future, just let her go."

Wu Shun said sarcastically.

Yang scolded: "Don't talk about it, today is the day of offering incense in Jingye Temple, Er Niangzi, you use the money to pay homage to the Bodhisattva."

Yang took a few coins from the money from selling clothes to Wu Zetian.

"it is good."

Wu Zetian took some money, changed clothes, and went out to Jingye Temple.
