The door-to-door son-in-law of the beautiful president

Chapter 661
The next day, the registration for noble sons-in-law was officially closed, and the nobles of Beihai Kingdom officially released their rankings. This time, His Royal Highness Meizi publicly selected husbands and sons. There were 32 candidates included, all of whom were elites from the royal family.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Beihai Kingdom was shaken. Most of the ordinary people began to pay attention to the selection of son-in-law in the TV news after dinner. Generally speaking, the TV station should have a live program for such a big event, but the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom Apparently he had reservations, and did not agree to the interviews and live broadcasts of various news media.

"In three days, the process of choosing a son-in-law will officially begin."

"The mechanism for selecting a son-in-law will first conduct a physical fitness test to eliminate weak men, and then select according to the six arts of a gentleman according to the noble tradition..."

In the forest of the mountain manor after the rain, Yumiko accompanied Li Jiangnan for a walk, while telling him the mechanism of selecting a son-in-law.

The traditional mechanism for the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom to select sons-in-law probably imitated the ancient method of the Yan Kingdom. The princes and ministers recommended outstanding marriageable men, and then compared and selected them with the six skills of a gentleman.

The six arts of a gentleman: chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, kendo, riding, and archery. Of course, in modern times, few people ride horses and archery anymore, so the later nobleman selection mechanism simplified the competition items. The symbolic four arts of a gentleman, omitting riding and archery.

The so-called "physical fitness test" is to eliminate some candidates who are sick or not strong enough. It's like selecting a stallion. Only a strong enough stallion can be selected to be worthy of the chosen princess. Only in this way Only in this way can the lifelong sexual happiness of the imperial daughter be guaranteed and good offspring be produced.

There are lessons in history.

Also in the ancient times of the Yan Kingdom, there was a shocking scandal of "selecting a son-in-law".

The emperor and princess at that time were also kept in the dark by relatives and important ministers. Everyone regarded the nobleman's selection of son-in-law as a business, and in the end they chose and chose, and unexpectedly produced a noble son-in-law with the shortest life in history.

This son-in-law was originally a tuberculosis ghost, but under the packaging of the powerful officials, he became a noble son with great talents and excellent reputation.

It wasn't until the night of the wedding that the noble princess discovered that the husband chosen for her by the rich and powerful was actually a patient who coughed up blood at every turn, and after the consumptive son-in-law uncovered the bride's red hijab, he was too emotional to bridal chamber , He coughed up blood and died.

This kind of scandal among the nobles is like eating a fly. Although it is disgusting, it is a done deal and can only be swallowed.

The final result can be imagined, the emperor could only choose to cover up his ugliness and secretly kill a few ministers to settle the matter, while the newly married princess has been a widow all her life.

In addition to the six arts of a gentleman and the so-called physical elimination, Yumiko also introduced to Li Jiangnan some other situations in the son-in-law selection mechanism, such as the special power she has as a princess who chooses a son-in-law, and those behind the scenes who are trying to find ways The various forces fighting openly and secretly in the selection of the son-in-law of the nobles...

After hearing so much from Yumiko, Li Jiangnan felt even more that this time the nobles should not be careless in choosing a son-in-law. If there is a slight mistake, Yumiko will fall into the fire pit and marry a man who doesn't know what it is.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.

……

At the same time, at the home of the aristocratic lord Shigeo Sagawa, Shigeo Sagawa was holding a round table meeting with several relatives and powerful ministers to secretly discuss the upcoming selection of a son-in-law.

"King Maoxiong, I have a proposal. Why don't we unite for the time being and eliminate the other opponents first, and then compete fairly according to our own abilities..."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a mustache named Hito Ono. He was also a relative, but he was not a king like Sagawa Shigeo. He could only recommend one person to participate in the selection of a son-in-law.

The candidate he recommended is the nephew of the family. If the nephew can choose the son-in-law this time, the Ono family will jump two levels and become the most noble family among relatives.

The relationship between Ono Fei and Shigeo Sagawa is actually not good, and disputes often arise because of interests, but this time the nobleman has too many strong competitors to compete for, so he can only let go of his grievances, hoping to defeat him first through cooperation. Other opponents, so as to increase the chances of winning the election.

A dignitary said: "I very much agree with Ono Fei's suggestion."

"I heard that the two candidates recommended by King Jigan this time are both very strong, and they are all good at chess and swordsmanship. Selected layer by layer."

"King Jigan originally had the support of many ministers, and now he has joined forces with the Xuantu Sect. If the person nominated by King Jigan becomes Yumiko's son-in-law, then we will no longer have our voice in state affairs. "

"I also agree with this suggestion. The power of King Jigan is already too great. I can accept anyone nominated by each of our families to become a son-in-law. With his arrogant personality, we will all be overwhelmed by him..."

"Yes, yes, Maoxiong Qianwang, why don't we follow Ono Fei's suggestion. Let's unite first and eliminate the two candidates for Jiganwang. In the end, we will compete fairly..."

Sagawa Maoxiong saw that everyone expressed his opinion in this way, of course he also agreed, so he made a decision: "Okay, since you all want to unite, then we will unite and deal with the biggest opponent, King Jigan first."

"Speaking of which, my younger brother is too outrageous. Over the past few years, even my elder brother has been ignored."

"This time, we must give him a strong performance in the selection of the son-in-law of the nobles, and see if he dares to be arrogant in front of us in the future."

"Okay, then it's settled, everyone must keep their promises and unite first..."

A round table meeting was held here, and a preliminary charter was formed. Shigeo Sagawa raised the red wine glass first, and when several wine glasses collided, several dignitaries formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Not long after, each family summoned their nominees again, and they discussed clearly that in the first physical fitness test, they should form an alliance with each other, formulate a common strategy, and first eliminate the candidates from King Jigan's side. .

Ono Fei remembered that Sagawa Maoxiong had clearly nominated two people for the election, but now he only called one person to give instructions, so he walked over and asked, "Hey, Maoxiong, I remember you also recommended a guy named Muzi Jiangnan to run for the son-in-law, Why didn't you call him over?"

Shigeo Sagawa was a little bored, he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention him."

"A poor boy who has never seen the world. He has neither family prestige nor great ability. I have no hope for him. I guess he is a supporting role. He will be eliminated in the first match."

"If he wasn't able to treat my son, how could I recommend him?"

"The most annoying thing is that I promised to recommend the boy from the Noo family, but because of him, I lost a good chance to make a fortune, and also caused me to be a villain for nothing, and was hated by the Noo family. gone."

After hearing this, everyone was very happy, and they all laughed haha.
