The most important thing is that according to historical records, Empress Zhang was very beautiful.
As for talking about love and romance like in later palace novels, Zhu Youxiao didn't think about it.
As the emperor, I don't have the qualifications and I can't be willful.
It is already good enough to have a beautiful queen who is, most importantly, well-behaved and sensible.
Feelings can be cultivated later, and it is also easier to get married first and then fall in love.
Putting the name card aside, Zhu Youxiao said to Li Huan, "I know what's going on. Go back and report to the Concubine Dowager. When you're ready, just let me know. I'll be there then."
Although he had already chosen Empress Zhang in his heart, he still had to go through the process.
But it's also very simple, basically you just have to choose one of the three.
When the time comes, all I have to do is point to Queen Zhang.
As for the remaining two people, each of them is a concubine and they can't escape.
Marrying three wives at once makes me a little excited just thinking about it.
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Li Huan felt relieved and smiled even brighter. She quickly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go back and report to the Concubine Dowager."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Li Huan bowed and retreated.
After Li Huan left, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly.
Things have come to this point, and he doesn't really care.
Although he was choosing a queen for himself, Zhu Youxiao's attitude was not positive.
Zhu Youxiao was not concerned about this matter. He was concerned about the affairs of the court.
Now everyone in the court is waiting for me to take action. The Donglin Party seems to be still in a stable position, but in fact it has been in turmoil for a long time.
Although the Donglin Party was powerful and had a large number of people, they also had many opponents.
The power structures in the court are so complex and intertwined that it is difficult to tell who is who.
Zhu Youxiao had no intention of dividing those things.
What he has to do now is to screen who is on his side.
As for how to screen, Zhu Youxiao was already prepared.
For the next two days, Zhu Youxiao listened to Chen Kedao's lectures.
The news spread naturally.
Your Majesty was refining the elixir while listening to Chen Kedao's lecture at the same time.
There was an uproar in the government and the public.
Countless people began to submit memorials to advise Zhu Youxiao and impeach Luo Sigong, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
However, Zhu Youxiao pretended not to see any of this.
Zhu Youxiao showed great interest in Chen Kedao's theories.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be very fond of Chen Kedao. Not only did he give him various rewards, but he also personally sent people to pick him up and drop him off.
For a moment, the entire capital was about to be hit by a storm.
Zhu Youxiao flipped through the question book in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, there are still people who know what they want to do.
There have been quite a few impeachment petitions like this in recent days, all of which say the same thing: impeaching the Donglin Party for forming a clique for personal gain, and impeaching Yao Zongwen and others for colluding with Xiong Tingbi.
In a word, I request Your Majesty to punish me severely.
The impact of this impeachment was very wide, directly involving the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing and the Vice Minister of Works Zhao Nanxing.
After looking at these question books, Zhu Youxiao roughly understood it.
This was a massive counterattack.
Obviously, some people saw that he was going to take action against the Donglin Party, and these people started to add insult to injury.
Of course, kicking someone when they are down is only one aspect, the other aspect is to show loyalty to oneself.
What they do is just like they're jumping around and saying, "Look at me, look at me! I'm loyal! I'm willing to do anything! Reuse me, reuse me!"
Zhu Youxiao was naturally happy to see this behavior.
As expected, there are always many smart people in this world.
As long as you show a little gesture and throw out a little something, these people will jump out on their own.
Putting the test paper aside, Zhu Youxiao tapped the table expressionlessly.
The time is almost right, we can start.
But we still have to make some big moves first.
"Your Majesty, the Dowager Concubine sent it over. Everything is almost ready. Can we set the date for tomorrow?" Chen Hong walked to Zhu Youxiao and said cautiously.
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
The Queen's affairs can indeed come to an end.
After the queen is chosen, I can get married. Then I will have things to do again.
As for the matter of harming others, just leave it to Wei Zhongxian and others, there is no need for me to do it myself.
"Go tell the Queen Dowager that there will be no problem tomorrow." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
Chen Hong did not dare to delay and quickly turned around to report to the Queen Dowager.
Nothing else happened that day.
The next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up early, had breakfast with Chen Hong, then changed into new clothes and rushed to the Cining Palace with his men.
When Zhu Youxiao arrived at the Cining Palace, everything was almost ready.
Concubine Zhuang brought people to welcome Zhu Youxiao.
In the current imperial palace, Zhu Youxiao is the real emperor.
This was not because of his status as emperor, but because all those who dared to stab him in the palace had already died.
Zhu Youxiao was a young emperor, and before he ascended the throne, Li Xianshi dared to detain him. This shows what the attitude of the imperial palace was towards the young Emperor Tianqi.
Since Zhu Youxiao was here, he naturally would not allow such a thing to happen.
In history (recorded), Concubine Li colluded with Kebaba and Wei Zhongxian, stirring up trouble in the harem.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Zhu Youxiao would naturally not allow such or similar things to happen in the harem.
So since he ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao has been cleaning up the harem.
Zhu Youxiao could not forget how his father died.
You should know that my father was still in good health. It was Concubine Zheng who found eight women for him. They accompanied him in his wild lives for several days and he had sex with eight women in one night.
Doing this kind of thing, let alone my father, an emperor who didn't exercise much, even the various fitness experts in later generations would probably not be able to handle it.
If you do this for a few days in a row, you'll probably be tired of it.
What's more, there are various alcohol-related drugs, and the medicine of this era is not Viagra.
Even Viagra has very serious side effects, and it may cause cardiac arrest and sudden death.
Zhu Youxiao didn't want to die inexplicably.
The original Emperor Tianqi died at a young age, and Zhu Youxiao always felt that something was wrong.
Maybe it was done by Kebaba, or maybe it was done by someone else, it doesn’t matter.
Just clean up your harem properly.
That's enough.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also believed in the Empress Zhang whom he was about to choose. She was a woman of skill and also a woman who knew the big picture.
As long as I support her, she will be able to call the shots in the harem.
This is where you live, so you must ensure your own safety.
He didn't want to die for no apparent reason.
