Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"The Lin family has a daughter, who is virtuous and virtuous, and named queen."

In the main hall, Eunuch Cao is announcing the decree.

After the girls were brought back to the capital from Jiangdong yesterday, Li Changshou almost died in a hurry.

Until this morning, he had no chance to close his eyes and rest for a while.

Now it is even more non-stop, he wants to canonize all the daughters in the early dynasty, after all, after he ascends the throne, he naturally needs to establish a successor and a group of concubines.

The officials in the hall had no objection to Li Changshou making Lin Luoxi the queen.

After all, Lin Luoxi was originally Li Changshou's concubine when he was still a prince, and now that Li Changshou is enthroned as emperor, it is natural and logical that she will be promoted to queen and mother of the country.

However, Eunuch Cao continued to proclaim the decree. Today, it is not only the queen, but also a group of concubines.

"The Gu family has a daughter, who is gentle and virtuous, and is a noble concubine!"

The imperial decree was drafted by Li Changshou himself, but at this moment he sat on the dragon chair and watched the reactions of the ministers in the hall. As expected, many ministers couldn't help showing puzzled expressions.

Obviously Lin Luoxi became the queen, they had already guessed it.

But at this moment, the other concubines made the officials a little puzzled.

It's just that he didn't speak for the time being, and Eunuch Cao continued to read the imperial edict.

"Bai Luoxian, the descendant of the Immortal Sect, has made great contributions in helping to suppress the rebellion, and is specially conferred the title of Concubine Xian!"

If the canonization of the noble concubine just now had puzzled the officials, but now that they heard it, it was a concubine again, and the conferred daughter was unknown to many important court officials.

They couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that many of them still had their own plans.

Now that the new king has just ascended the throne, except for the queen, they dare not think about it. They all want to send their daughters, nieces and even granddaughters to the palace, and then let Li Changshou choose a concubine.

Now boy!
The queen has long been occupied by someone and they have nothing to say, but now even two of the first-rank and fourth concubines who are second only to the queen have been canonized out at once?
However, the prime minister's astonishment had only just begun.

"The master of Xianmen, An Huixuan, has worked hard for the Daqian Dynasty and helped His Majesty. I am specially named Concubine De!"

Three of the four concubines were lost at once, which made some important officials who originally wanted to cling to the high branches and send the family daughter into the palace anxious.

Eunuch Cao didn't care, although even he was shocked by the distribution of the title.

Especially seeing that Li Changshou actually took down both the master and heir of the Xianmen sect in one fell swoop, it almost blinded him.

If it is said that he was a fool in the past, and a man who knew the current affairs was a hero, and he was forced to be helpless...

So now, Eunuch Cao couldn't help adoring him!

Immortal sect, that's the master and heir of the immortal sect. If Bai Luoxian is not mentioned, who is An Huixuan?

Eunuch Cao is fully aware of An Huixuan's identity. Thirty years ago, a generation of goddesses and fairies was well-known in the world. Anyone who was born in a magic sect would tremble three times when they heard this name.

Now, she actually became Li Changshou's concubine?
It’s incredible!
"Princess of the Holy Britannia Empire, beautiful, gentle and gracious, specially named Concubine Shu!"

Good guy!
The prime minister and others were speechless.

One queen and four concubines, these are the five most important concubines in the harem of the emperors and emperors of the Dagan Dynasty.

The empress is super-class, while the fourth concubine is the first-class, and it has always been the position that the major families and important officials want to fight for. It is nothing more than sending the outstanding women of the family into the palace, so as to deepen the friendship with the royal family and grow the family by the way. power.

Now all of a sudden, the seats are all taken up?
No one dared to ask for the position of queen, but the position of the fourth concubine was the fat that many people were eyeing.

Even the prime minister has moved his mind and wants to recommend the family's grand-niece to enter the palace. Besides, it is not difficult to occupy the position of one of the four concubines, right?

Looking at it now, there is no play.

Now that the four concubines who are second only to the empress have been divided up, the prime minister thought in his heart that he should settle for the next best thing, to see if he could gain an advantage over the nine concubines under the four concubines.

Who would have thought!
When Eunuch Cao finished his edict, a group of dignitaries in the hall could only speak in unison.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

They are just courtiers. It is the royal family's private matter that the emperor himself canonize the concubines of the harem. Even the elders of the four dynasties like the prime minister are not easy to talk about, let alone others.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Li Changshou knew that a group of ministers had doubts in their hearts, but did he need an explanation?

No need, his concubines in the harem still don't have the turn of all the courtiers to point fingers, but today he canonized one empress and four concubines in front of the court officials, just to avoid some people's thoughts.

"Retreat!"

……

"Old Prime Minister, isn't it too hasty for His Majesty to consort you today?"

"Yes, Empress Lin is His Majesty's original wife. We don't think there is a problem, but the position of the fourth concubine is a bit sloppy!"

"That's right, the old man is also a little confused. He said that the noble concubine conferred by His Majesty, the daughter of the Gu family? Which family is our capital? After thinking about it, the old man has no idea at all."

Just after leaving the court, a group of court ministers gathered together to discuss.

And Old Prime Minister Zhang was naturally surrounded by people. After all, the prime minister was still valued now, and he must know more news than them.

"Everyone, concubines in the harem are His Majesty's family affairs, and we, as courtiers, are not allowed to talk behind our backs."

If you want to say who is the old fox, the prime minister thinks it is on the list.

Although he also has doubts and curiosity, but his words are tight.

It is not good for their official career to talk about the royal affairs to the emperor's ears.

"Aren't the old man and the others curious? These four concubines are now occupied, but they are not the daughters of aristocratic families, and they have never heard of it."

"Isn't the Immortal Gate the Jianghu sect? Your Majesty also..."

"What is the origin of the Concubine Shu that His Majesty canonized? The Holy Britannia Empire? Why haven't I heard of this foreign country?"

Those who can go to the court are all important ministers of the fifth rank or above. They don't say how well-informed they are, but there are not a few foreign people who know about it anyway.

Especially the capital is the most prosperous and bustling capital of the Dagan Dynasty and the Central Plains. There are foreign envoys from all over the world in the capital, but they have never heard of the "Saint Britannia Empire". It makes them feel unhappy.

Apart from the Daqian Dynasty, what other country is qualified to be called an empire?
"Everyone, Concubine Shu was granted the marriage by decree of the first emperor, and this old man knows about it."

The prime minister stroked his beard and smiled slightly, which also surprised a group of other ministers. Some people even asked, "The first emperor bestowed a marriage? When did this happen?"

"At the beginning of the year, the first emperor granted a marriage promise, and asked the Minister of Internal Affairs to go to Jiangdong to preach the decree. He also gave Qiantang County as a fief to the concubine Shu's family. This old man is also a witness."

Others may have doubts about the explanation, but the prime minister explained it himself, no matter how unbelievable everyone thought it was, they could only accept it.

"So that's the case. Since the marriage was bestowed by the first emperor, it can be justified."

"That's right, they're just two girls from the Jianghu sect, alas..."

Seeing a group of people moaning and sighing over there, how could the prime minister not know what they were thinking, it was because he couldn't send a woman from his family into the palace as a concubine, and he was jealous over there!
As for Xianmen, haven't they heard of it before?

How about pretending to be a wolf with a big tail here?
"By the way, who is the daughter of the Gu family that His Majesty conferred this concubine? The Gu family in the capital has no idea."

Someone mentioned it again, and many ministers nodded their heads.

You must know that the noble concubine is the head of the four concubines, and her status in the harem is second only to the queen. It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to confer the title of noble concubine.

And the position of imperial concubine is quite special, don't forget that the current queen mother came from the position of imperial concubine back then.

Now, even the prime minister shook his head slightly, apparently not knowing about it.

Just as a group of court officials were discussing, they happened to see Gu Fan walking out of the hall.

It suddenly occurred to me that Gu Fan, who was now the high-ranking official at the time, was the surname of Gu?
Suddenly someone stepped forward, "Master Gu."

"My lords, is there something wrong?"

Gu Fan was well aware of what happened in the court today, especially when he heard that Li Changshou actually made his mother a noble concubine, the first of the four concubines, second only to the queen, even he was a little shocked and lost his mind at that moment.

Now seeing a group of people in the court chatting outside the main hall, asking each other, as smart as he is, he actually guessed what they were doing.

"Master Gu, you are now a celebrity around His Majesty, and His Majesty regards you most highly. Do you know the origin of the concubine concubine that His Majesty canonized this morning?"

It was Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice who spoke. Although the two are of similar rank, don't forget that Gu Fan, besides being the Minister of Dali Temple, was also conferred the titles of Grand General and Duke of the State.

Although these two are not real jobs, but casual jobs and titles, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Gu Fan is only in his 20s and already holds a high position.

Is it not appropriate to worship the prime minister in the future?
It's not good to ask who, why come to ask him?

If Gu Fan couldn't explain well, it would be even worse if he didn't explain.

How does he answer?

Said that the imperial concubine who was just canonized this morning is his mother?

He doesn't have this face, so I'm embarrassed.

But I can't tell you tactfully, and I can't hide the matter. Sooner or later, it will be known. How will other ministers think about it?

"This……"

Gu Fan was not a smooth-talking person, and he also regretted that he knew how to avoid everyone and left the palace early.

Well now, embarrassing.

Just when Gu Fan was in a dilemma, someone came to make things right.

"Master Gu, His Majesty sent you to have dinner together."

It turned out that Eunuch Cao, the head of the internal affairs department, came, and when he heard that he came to deliver the order, Gu Fan heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Okay, Gu will go with Eunuch!"

A group of ministers who were still waiting to hear the gossip insider news were dumbfounded!

Dining with the emperor?
How many civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can meet this kind of treatment?

It can be said that there are so many of them, probably only the old prime minister who is the elder of the four dynasties has such an honor.

But now, Gu Fan, who is in his 20s, has already worshiped the third rank, and was conferred the title of duke of the first rank, and the emperor's grace is already overwhelming!
Do you want to have dinner with the emperor now?
Eunuch Cao is exquisite, and the reason why he appeared was actually at the behest of Li Changshou.

Before leaving, he smiled meaningfully at the prime minister and the others, "My lords, Mr. Gu is highly regarded by His Majesty. His Majesty has also said in private that he treats Mr. Gu as his nephew."

After saying this sentence, he directly pulled Gu Fan away, leaving only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in a mess in the wind.

Your Majesty, do you treat Gu Fan as your nephew? ! !
