The mother of a country, Wei Han opened his mouth to be the mother of a country! Wherever his face came from, he would dare to ask the emperor for the position of the mother of a country if he was looking for any woman on the corner!

Which family doesn't want this Phoenix life to fall in their own home, but the emperor is very fond of Madam Zhen, and this time he only said that he was a concubine, not a queen.

The emperor ruled the country for three years. No matter how moody, the courtiers also felt a little bit of his temper. Things he didn't say, these people dare not think about it. When a prince is born, he will ask for the position of the mother of a country.

Wei Han is the tongue of the emperor, the celebrity in front of the emperor, Hu Duan he said is also an able minister of the Qi Dynasty, and a confidant and friend of Zhang Zong. These people are in a group, if the mother of a country is Hu Duan My sister, their interests will definitely be threatened.

They didn't even dare to think about things, but let Wei Han say, if they agreed, it would be fine.

These small groups of aristocratic families retorted Wei Han one after another: "Wei Qing said falsely that Hu Duan was born in the countryside and his parents were just squires. How can the women raised by them be the mother of a country."

Wei Han said, "Princess Renxing also came from the market, but your majesty once praised her for her wonderful hands and kindness, and she is an example of women in the world. Does Lord Zhu want to say that your majesty has a bad vision or whether Princess Renxing is worthy? This title."

The person who had spoken before blushed: "Master Wei is confusing and referring to it indiscriminately. Have I ever said that your Majesty is not? And why have I said that Princess Renxing?"

Wei Han shook his head again and again: "No, no, Lord Zhu is arrogant. You said that the princess was not a poor girl? What's more, Mrs. Hu was able to teach a talent like Mrs. Hu Duan. It won't be bad."

Zhang Zong added: "There is something wrong with what Mr. Zhu said. The girl Hu Yuyan and Hu was born in the family of officials and officials. I really want to care about her family background. Her family is a local squire for several generations, and she is also a direct line. It is quite prestigious in the local area, but it is Master Zhu. Your ancestors have been up to three generations, but he was born as a horseman, and he is even more authentic."

"puff."

Someone didn't hold back the sneer, but soon bowed their eyebrows and had a serious face so as not to annoy others.

This Master Zhu, who usually prides himself on being pure and noble, loves to brag about how talented his uncle is in his clan, and keeps his great-grandfather up to the point of being a groom, and never mentions his family details.

However, Zhang Zong is in charge of the prison, and the dossier he has read does not know the geometry, and he can say that he knows all the civil and military officials well.

Zhang Zong, this person, never speaks arrogantly. In the presence of the emperor and the civil and military officials, he must speak the truth.

The little aristocratic families who jumped out said one by one, Wei Han retorted one by one, and the Tai Chi Hall was so lively for a while.

Among the emperor's eagle dogs, the one with the strongest mouth is Wei Han, and Hu Duan from the northwest.

Yes, Hu Duan did mix well in the Northwest. Originally he was a weapon used by the family to attack Zhang Zong, but because he took the initiative to ask the emperor to share his worries and dealt with the move of the people to the northwest to open up wasteland, he immediately jumped. For the confidant of today's son.

The northwest is very far from Chang'an. It was originally a wild land where birds don't lay eggs. There are also a bunch of barbarians who invade the border from time to time. It was originally not a good place.

But Hu Duan succeeded in doing it, and many slaves were successfully released from slavery in the Northwest.

Many of the slaves raised in their families, who didn't know where they heard the news, tried to find a way to go to the northwest, and became well-justified people.

Because of such conflicts of interest, the family hates Hu Duan.

Not only that, but the emperor also allowed Hu Duan to open up border trade and trade with the barbarians, selling his tea and porcelain to each other for their cattle, sheep and horses.

Anyone who has a larger business in a family will know that after raising some traveling merchants, the northwest has developed rapidly, and its prosperity is better than those of fertile land and the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River.

There is no exaggeration. Today's Great Northwest is just like a small Chang'an.

In addition, the northwest side strictly abides by the emperor’s words and orders, and publicizes the emperor’s benevolence and kindness, everyone knows that they can have such benefits and policies, all relying on the wise and martial arts of today’s children.

No matter who goes to explore in the northwest, just ask a common citizen, and the common people can tell the name of today's son.

Almost every household has offered the emperor’s longevity tablet, and being open and closed is how good today is.

Otherwise, what Hu Duan did will be ginsenged by the intentional ginseng, telling him to let the people only know Hu Duan and not the emperor. There must be a gap between the monarchs and the ministers.

However, this Hu Duan is really slippery, and he has made perfect preparations long ago.

Those of them in Chang'an didn't dare to say that they could lick the emperor like this.

There are too many interests involved in them, considering the family, considering the matter to consider the in-laws, how can they be like this Hu Duan without skin, flattery.

Not only that, the northwest side has also cultivated a very large army for the present Saint.

This army is completely in the hands of the emperor, with a total of 300,000 troops.

What is the concept of a 300,000 army? The total strength of the Qi Dynasty is now only a million army, which is mainly divided into the Southern Army and the Northern Army, with 500,000 each for the North and South Army.

The Southern Army is the Southwest Army, headed by Gu Xiao, with several branches stationed in the southern prefectures and counties. This number of 500,000 is more realistic.

In the words of the Northern Army, the 500,000 army is a nice imaginary number, and counts all the people who are farming on the border in the head.

These have a total of nearly 500,000 troops, with 200,000 troops in the southwest, and 300,000 people scattered in princes, prefectures and counties.

Among the 200,000 people, a considerable part of the population is serving in the military. The population flow is very large, and it is really messy to go to the battlefield. It is not an elite division.

As for the distribution in the hands of the princes, it is even more scattered. Unless there is a major event, the teams in the hands of the princes will not easily gather together.

But now the status of the Northern Army has dropped from that of the Southern Army. Although the Southwest Army led by Gu Xiao has repeatedly made military exploits over the years, it has never been as good as the Northwest.

Moreover, the Gu family has been developing for many years. Even if Gu Xiao is an enterprising young man, many things are in a dilemma.

The Northwest Army is different, this team is completely in the hands of the emperor.

Ninety percent of this army was made up of former slaves, but it was these slave army that the nobles of the aristocratic family looked down upon, but again and again defeated the barbarians that they felt tall and mighty, not so easy to defeat. .

Because he helped the emperor to do this and that, Hu Duan also married the princess Renxing who was famous among the people.

It was nothing more than a medical girl. With good luck and beautiful appearance, she was loved by the Queen Mother, and flew on a branch to become a phoenix and become a princess of a country.

But if the emperor likes it, they have to cater to the emperor.

Anyway, Hu Duan is far away from her in Chang'an.

Hu Duan's sister wanted to come and grab the Queen's position.

When Qiao Qing heard this group of people clamoring and quarreling, she was cold, "I said I want to marry?

She lost her temper again, sprayed a bunch of courtiers, and finally crashed down a big thunder: "I've decided, I won’t accept my concubine, you can fight slowly, when will the result come? I will stand behind."

After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and left, leaving the courtiers who had been blown up by her. You quarreled with each other. There was no blood or gunpowder, but the shadow of the sword.

When Qiao Qing returned to the palace, she went to sit in Madam Zhen's palace.

The latter poured a cup of tea for her: "Your Majesty's news released these days is really a shameless concubine."

Qiao Qing revealed the wind in the palace early, and countless people came to show her favor to the beloved Mrs. Zhen, all kinds of express hints that if they can leave the emperor's heirs, they are willing to hand over the children to her. Nurture.

Madam Zhen can't give birth to a child. Even if she is favored by the emperor, she can sit in the position of a queen. For her future life, she will definitely need to win over other princes.

Mrs. Zhen said with a smile: "They said that most of the women in this palace live longer than the emperor. They are kind and kind. They made a special order so that the queen does not need to be buried, but if the concubine is the same as the new emperor. If you don’t get along well, the future will never be better."

For those small families, the children are not at all disadvantaged when they are temporarily recorded under Mrs. Zhen's name. Anyway, their family is not strong enough, and relying on their own ability, it is difficult to get a high position.

It would be great if she could join forces with Mrs. Zhen. If the child is fostered in her name, the chances of becoming a big treasure in the end will be higher.

Of course these people didn't dare to say that about the emperor, but the hint was very obvious. Qiao Qing sneered: "The child hasn't been born yet, so I cursed me one by one, hoping that I would die soon."

"Your Majesty can't say the same. You are still very young. They just want to send in a flower-like girl's house. You must like it."

There are not just one or two families who have such thoughts. Many of them have sent their own girls to meet Mrs. Zhen. Some of them are soft and deceptive, but their hearts are clear. People in this kind of family think their girls are smart enough because they don’t look good enough. Overhanging and seeming harmless.

Some are carefully selected, and the ones sent to Mrs. Zhen are very gorgeous young girls, who are especially attractive to men, but they have a delicate temper. One intestine can pass through to the end, which can be seen at a glance See through.

This kind of family thinks that Mrs. Zhen itself is not particularly bright and generous, and she is also a few years older than the emperor, she must be a gentle flower.

Without fertility, being able to stay so well in the palace is definitely not just a kind of person who can do it. If you change to a younger, the same type who can give birth to children, wouldn't it be hatred by Mrs. Razhen?

People of the same type get together, and they are more disgusting and ostracized than sympathizing.

After all, the women in the palace are like flowers, with various colors competing with each other. No matter whether they are peonies or empty valley orchids, the one with the best type will definitely steal the most resources.

The small family wanted to take Madam Zhen to give birth to an heir, while the big family wanted to let their prostitutes start from the wife. Once they gave birth to the emperor heirs, they could be honorably named as queens.

It's just that their abacus is very loud. What they didn't expect at all was that Mrs. Zhen was originally the man of the emperor.

These days, she was really annoyed by these girls, and then she went to Qiao Qing to put eye drops on these people.

Madam Zhen asked again: "I heard that my concubine said that he could not accept the concubine, but only the queen, but is it true?"

Qiao Qing said: "Naturally it is true."

Madam Zhen was stunned for a moment, and her expression immediately returned to normal: "What about the candidate, your Majesty already has someone in his heart."

After all, Mrs. Zhen hasn't left the harem. She has lived here for many years, and she has to put those messy things into the hands of someone who can rest assured.

Qiao Qing said: "Not yet."

She did not intend to speak too hard.

"What standard does your Majesty have?"

Qiao Qing replied: "This is naturally there."

Madam Zhen was still smiling, with two curiosities on her face: "What is it, why don't you tell your concubine to listen to it, so that you can advise you?"

Qiao Qing said: "I plan to marry the one with the richest dowry."
