I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system
Chapter 201: Marrying a foreigner is a man's duty
After Wu Zhao changed the harem system, there was no reaction from the previous dynasty, but someone stood up and brought up the affairs of Li Zhao's harem.
In the court, a male official said: "Your Majesty Xuanzun is now in the throne of the Eastern Palace, and the issue of heirs cannot be neglected. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to hold another selection?"
Her Majesty Xuanzun is also a descendant of Taizong in this life. If she can give birth to a child, the successor will still have the blood of Li Tang, and they, the old ministers, will feel relieved.
Hearing this, the eyes of the male and female court officials under His Majesty Dan suddenly lit up. They bowed their heads respectfully, their hearts leaping with joy.
No matter how many men His Majesty Xuanzun chooses, their families will have the opportunity to enter the palace. If they can give birth to the children of the Heavenly God Emperor, then...
A group of people were dreaming, but Li Zhao ruthlessly broke their fantasy: "I have no intention of enriching my harem."
Huh? The male official who stepped out was dumbfounded: "Then... the matter of your Majesty's offspring..."
Li Zhao leaned diagonally on the hidden bag of the throne. He waved his left hand, and the wide sleeves in the color of Yang Fei and the light blue shawl moved along with it, his posture was lazy and casual.
"My successor will be chosen from the next generation of Wu royal family."
The successor will be chosen from the next generation of royal relatives with the surname Wu. Princes Wu Xian and Wu Dan can no longer be relied upon, but their descendants are qualified.
However... the court officials' gazes slowly moved and fell on Wu Sansi, who had just been conferred the title of Prince of Liang for his proposal to build Tianshu.
There were also Prince Wu Chengsi of Wei, Prince Wu Youning of Jianchang, and a group of Wu family members who were granted titles of crown prince, prince, or county princess.
Your Majesty has children and grandchildren who are royal relatives with the surname Wu, and Your Majesty Xuanzun has brothers, but your Majesty’s maternal family also has the surname Wu, and they are also royal relatives.
Who will be the next successor?
Li Zhao issued an edict to change the system of the Eastern Palace and the harem: "In the future, the Eastern Palace will have two Ruzis, who are of the third rank, and six Chenghuis, who are of the fourth rank."
"Ten Zhaoxun officials are of the fifth rank; sixteen Baolin officials are of the seventh rank; twenty-four Fengyi officials are of the ninth rank."
"The main wife of the Spring Palace, regardless of whether she is male or female, is called Dong Qing."
In addition, Li Zhao stared at the ministers of His Majesty Dan, and said, "Call the family of Wu Xian, the Prince of Luling of Fangzhou, to the capital."
Prince Luling and his family are returning to Beijing.
The court officials nodded respectfully, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
It seems that there will be another open and secret struggle between the Wu clan, the former Li Tang royal family, and the current Wu royal family.
Not long after, the former Tubo regent queen mother, now the Prince of Xihai, Molu Chimalo, and the former Later Turkic minor Khatun, the Gongshun Khan of the Dayu Dynasty, the Duke of Shun, wrote a letter together.
They requested the two emperors to grant them marriages, but they did not dare to ask for the daughters of Prince Luling or Prince Xiang. They only asked to choose a daughter-in-law from the emperor's family.
There were only two daughters in this generation of the Wu family who met the requirements, namely Princess Xin'an Wu Hui and Prince Zhou Guo Wu Minhui.
After they came of age, they entered the court to attend government affairs in accordance with the system of the Dayu Dynasty. They set up their own offices like Wu Yanji, the first-rank prince of Wei, and had their own county princesses and king princesses.
In the Dayu Dynasty, the children of princesses were not distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children. The successor was a prince of the first rank, and the rest were princes and princesses of the first rank. However, the children of princes had to be distinguished.
The legitimate children born to the prince's wife can be crowned as the first-rank prince, prince, princess, or prince of a county, while the illegitimate children can only be conferred the second-rank duke or county princess.
Imperial relatives with the title of first or second rank can set up their own government offices, but the number of subordinate officials is much smaller than in the previous dynasty.
Wu Zetian also issued an edict saying that some of the officials of the next generation of the Eastern Palace would be laid off. Only a few princes still enjoyed the treatment of princes during the Li Tang period, such as Prince Cheng and Princess Wencheng, Prince Ding and Princess Honghua, etc.
After Chimalo and Xiaosha Khatun submitted their petitions, all the male Wu family members in the court immediately submitted their petitions, saying that the King of Zhou and Princess Xin'an were of the right age for marriage.
Wu Minhui and Wu Hui frowned when they heard the news.
Since the Dayu Dynasty had a crown princess, they naturally had the desire to ascend to the throne.
Look at the expressions of these uncles and brothers. Do they want to kick these two branches out of the race for the throne?
After all, how could a princess with foreign blood and her descendants inherit the throne of the Han people?
Very good, for the throne, the whole family is going to fight to the death.
Wu Minhui sneered repeatedly, "You little brats, you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
She found Wu Hui and said straight to the point: "Niece Hui, we have become a thorn in the eyes of others."
Wu Minhuiyan smiled and said, "If we don't fight back, others will look down on us."
"How about you and I, aunt and nephew, why don't we join forces for once?"
Wu Hui smiled and said, "Okay."
The next day, Wu Minhui and Wu Hui jointly submitted a memorial, the content of which almost shocked all the civil and military officials.
"Girls are rare in my family, but men of marriageable age are numerous."
"Why not grant marriages to my brothers and nephews between the Tibetans and the Turks, so as to forge a friendly relationship between Qin and Jin?"
The rest of the Wu family were dumbfounded. Wu Chengsi quickly stepped forward and said, "No! How can men marry other men?"
Wu Minhui looked at him strangely and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. The arranged marriage we are talking about is the arranged marriage between the Prince of Xihai and the Duke of Shun."
Wu Chengsi: "???!!!"
Watts?! How can you do this?!
In the shocked eyes of Wu Chengsi, Wu Minhui curled her lips and smiled: "After all, Xihai County Prince Chimalo and Shunguo Duke Xiaosha have been widowed for many years, haven't they?"
The Wu family was stunned. No, why don’t you follow the routine?
Qing Luan, who was standing on the throne, couldn't hold back and laughed: "Puchi——"
Li Zhao was more straightforward and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Good idea, good idea!"
"I will follow your advice and arrange a marriage between Chimalo and Xiaosha. As for the marriage partner..."
The Wu family was all worried. Li Zhao said leisurely, "Their ranks are not high either. Let's choose two unmarried dukes and marry them to their houses on a chosen day!"
Li Zhao casually designated two illegitimate sons of the Wu family. The Wu family breathed a sigh of relief, and the second round of Wu Minhui and Wu Hui arrived.
Wu Hui said: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Lelang has appointed the Princess of Lelang as his successor, and the Prince of Fusang has newly appointed the Princess of Fusang as his successor. How about choosing a good husband for each of these two princesses?"
Li Zhao hummed and said, "Okay, the King of Wei has nothing but many sons. This is perfect, one for each of the two county ladies."
Li Zhao directly issued an edict to marry Wu Chengsi's four sons, Wu Yanji, Wu Yanyi, Wu Yan'an and Wu Yanguang, all to people outside the Great Wall. The royal families of Tuyuhun, Khitan, Lelang and Fuso were all involved!
Only the honest Wu Yanxiu and Wu Yanshou escaped the disaster.
Wu Chengsi and the others who were granted marriage felt dizzy before their eyes, but they could only kneel down and say, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
During the Dayu Dynasty, the first large-scale marriage between princes in history occurred.
Wu Zetian did not give much dowry to these princes who were to marry into other families, and she also dismissed their subordinates and made other arrangements for them, and just married them off.
The Li Dynasty once again summoned female officials, female students, and noble ladies, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled them all into the virtual world of the [Live Tourism Module].
Li Zhao manipulated the [Happy Face Puppet] who played the role of Li Chao, the God of Tianshu, and showed them two futures.
