The draft in Suzhou was proceeding step by step, but in the distant capital, the emperor suddenly issued a strange edict.
The content of this edict is very simple.
After removing the official clichés of "carrying the fortune from heaven" at the beginning and "hearing it through salty envoys" at the end, there is actually only one sentence left: "In the old days, I had thousands of cars.
I don't see them now, and I am so confused."
Ask for it.”
The general meaning is that when I was a child, I once had a spinning top.
Yes, Qianqianche was a spinning top.
Now it is gone.
I really miss it when I think about it.
Please help me find it.
This is what God means I specially sent an order to find a gadget from my childhood.
Where can I find it?
On the other hand, thinking about it, it is such a hard-to-find thing, no wonder I have to send an order to find it.
No one thought that the emperor really wanted to find the top of his childhood, but the edict was no joke.
This is not an oral edict casually mentioned, or a central edict issued by the emperor on his own initiative.
The emperor issued it directly without passing the edict of Zhongshu's subordinates or the cabinet.
Theoretically, ministers do not need to obey the edict.
Being able to issue an edict means that at least someone in the cabinet supports the emperor.
What is the emperor looking for?
Or what does the emperor mean?
Everyone secretly speculated that it might be related to the recent dispute between the emperor and his wife.
It's just such a big deal recently.
Queen Lu is absolutely qualified to bring her mother to the world.
The maternal relatives, the Lu family, have great experience in cultivating candidates for concubines.
The queen from the Lu family, De Rong is proficient in all kinds of speech and skills, and has no problem sitting in the queen's position.
However, there are three gangs of heroes, and the queen also has to be humble and cannot do everything herself.
Besides, the royal family must have a balance.
Under the queen, there must also be a number of high-level concubines, concubines, wives, concubines, etc., to not only show the dignity of the royal family, but also give the concubines at all levels a motivation to rise.
Nowadays, in the harem, there are concubines at all levels, but the imperial concubine is not there yet.
Although it just adds the word "emperor", it is quite different.
If she had the title of imperial concubine, she would truly be beneath one person and above all other women, let alone mention her status in the harem.
What's more, Queen Lu seemed to be a little bored after being a queen for many years.
She often appointed her favorite concubines to assist in the Sixth Palace and distributed the queen's authority at will.
After sitting in the position of imperial concubine, it is possible to evade the queen.
Since the daughter of the Lu family is good-looking and well-mannered, then just show it, let go of the authority and let me do it.
Originally, the fight for the imperial concubine was just an open and secret fight between the concubines in the harem, but as the draft unfolded, the courtiers in front gradually joined in.
The royal family has no family affairs.
Whenever the emperor wanted to see someone, the eunuchs would carry them in naked.
No matter how long the work took, someone would check the time outside the window.
How could the choice of the imperial concubine be left behind closed doors and left to the emperor's own decision?
There are two people who are calling for it very loudly now, namely Concubine Li Guifei and Concubine Ning Liang.
The noble concubine Li was born into the newly wealthy Li family.
Her father was the admiral in charge of the capital's garrison.
She also had an older brother who was an official in the Imperial College, and her cousin was married to Yin Qiao Houce of Jingzhao.
This family is both civilized and military, and their influence is concentrated in the Gyeonggi area.

Their ancestral home is north of Canghe River and they have a solid foundation.
Concubine Ning Liang was born in the Ning family, a well-established family.
She has countless intricate relationships.
More importantly, Concubine Ning Liang is well-deserved for her title.
She is indeed a virtuous woman with a gentle temperament. , very popular with the emperor.
However, according to the ancestral system, there is only one spot for the imperial concubine, so at the time of the draft, the families and forces behind the two concubines worked hard to urge the emperor to quickly register an imperial concubine so that they could be in the busy draft affairs.
Help the queen.
But the emperor didn't say which one he preferred, but he wanted to find some top.
It's really hard to guess what kind of tricks they are playing.
Such a strange edict had a huge impact on the draft process.
The draft in Xuannan Province lasted for almost two months in Qinyuan in Suzhou before finally selecting one hundred and twenty-eight show girls.
After much thought, Magistrate Zhang and his family paid a high price, and probably promised not to cause trouble in the future, so that Zhang Wenjuan recovered from her illness and joined the march to Beijing.
After all, Zhang Wenjuan will definitely not marry in Suzhou.
Even if she goes through the motions, it seems to be better than losing the election or getting seriously ill.
There are prescribed routines for beautiful women to enter Beijing.
One tael of silver per person is just a small amount for traveling expenses.
The vehicle is a small green cloth donkey cart with one person riding alone.
Food and accommodation are all arranged in the same way.
Xia Xiaodong soon felt the strong malice.
The news that Ning Junwu was appointed by Ning Junwu was no surprise to everyone, and there was also an additional rumor that was not very pleasant: this statement was spread deliberately by someone to put money on his face.
The best way to promote a certain rumor is to refute it.
Xia Xiaodong would not do this.
Whoever wants to say whatever they like can say whatever they want.
The world is so big, I still want to take a good look at it.
The draft is just soy sauce.
The car was not very comfortable, but the scenery along the way was pretty good.
Later, Lu Yunzhi's motorcade followed, and Xia Xiaodong was invited to Lu Yunzhi's carriage.
The two talked about the situation, and the situation became better and better, and their little life passed quickly.
However, when we arrived in Tongzhou, not far from the capital, the situation became a little more subtle.
Groups of officers and soldiers, with arrows cocked and swords unsheathed, and brightly armored, rushed to the front from the side of Xiu Nu's team.
The atmosphere was tense.
The extraordinary energy of the Lu family was revealed at this time.
Ruan Chenshan quickly pulled a team leader over.
"Are you going to fight somewhere?"
Ruan Chenshan asked outside the car, deliberately arranging his standing position very close to the car so that Lu Yunzhi and Xia Xiaodong, who were only separated by the carriage, could hear clearly.
"Go to the capital."
The team leader didn't know whether he had been frightened or given money.
He spoke very respectfully: "We were soldiers of Qiyang.
It is said that the prince has rebelled, and now he has been urgently transferred to protect him."
"The prince is rebellious."
Ruan Chenshan's voice changed its tone.
Rebellion has always been a big deal, and is basically synonymous with rivers of blood.
However, it is a bit strange for the prince to rebel.
The prince is the crown prince and the future emperor.
Although the emperor is not very old now, he is definitely not in his prime.

Why is he anxious?
"The Holy Emperor is looking for a top that he has played with since childhood.
Do you know this?"
Xia Xiaodong secretly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked outside.
He saw the captain's eyes widening. "" Ruan Chenshan had actually heard about it on the road before, but he still decided to pretend not to know and see what this person had to say.
"It is said that the prince's young master Shi Junguang, uh, no, it was the former prince's young master Shi Junguang who explained this matter."
As the team leader spoke, he looked ahead, assessing how long it would take to catch up with his team.
"Why did this explanation lead the prince to rebel?"
Ruan Chenshan asked
