. Now He Gan also said the same thing, he couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Qian Li: "Listen, it's not a loss for me to make this trip on behalf of Ming'er."
Qian Li knew what Xuan Tianhua meant. These three people regarded each other as the most trusted party in their lives. The Ninth Prince handed over his personal soldiers to the Seventh Prince without reservation, and Princess Yu could also let her Shenji Camp obey the orders of the Seventh Prince. And the Seventh Prince could use his own life to protect the safety of the Ninth Prince, so that the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu could live a good life. Such brotherhood was born in the royal family, which was really rare.
Among the four kingdoms of Dashun, Zong Sui has the largest land area, the best climate, the largest population, and the strongest national power. It can be said that on this continent, apart from Dashun, Zong Sui is the undisputed king. Even in the past, when Dashun had not yet produced new steel, Zong Sui's iron weapons were a potential threat to Dashun.
But the first emperor of Zong Sui was not a war-loving emperor. Compared with war and expanding territory, he preferred to keep the original one acre and three mu of land and manage it well to make the people richer and the treasury more abundant. Therefore, for many years, Zong Sui honestly paid tribute to Dashun and sent many good things to Dashun without any rebellion.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Another very important point is that the Iron Essence Technique of Zong Sui is coveted by too many countries. The Zong Sui Palace is almost full of spies from various countries. As an emperor, keeping secrets, discovering and eliminating spies, and living well have become the top priority in their lives. They have no energy to think about anything else. This is why Zong Sui has the strength to fight against Dashun, but it has been calm for so many years. Because of Dashun, once the Emperor of Zong Sui is killed and the Iron Essence Technique is taken away, the Dashun forces will suppress the other forces. In a sense, it can be regarded as a mutual restraint.
It was not until later on that Feng Yuheng refined new steel on the Dashun side, and Zong Sui's iron essence technique became useless. The pressure from all sides was reduced a little, so that the princes all began to think about vying for the throne.
Dashun didn't care about the internal fighting among the royal families of the various foreign countries. After all, they were all one family. It made no difference to Dashun who was in power. It could even be said that it was normal for the person in power to no longer obey Dashun's control. But this time was abnormal. Not only did the new emperor rebel against Dashun, but he also rebelled after Dashun had used powerful means to strike down ancient Shu. This was very difficult to understand.
Normally, after the Dashun used the thunderbolt in the battle against the ancient Shu, the Zong Sui should not have dared to touch the Dashun building, but it rebelled! This made many people confused.
A spy reported the situation in Zong Sui to the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng who was in charge of the capital. The spy said: "The new emperor of Zong Sui has the intention of selecting a concubine. The royal family did not show a very positive attitude towards this battlefield on the surface, but they did take some actions in secret. A large number of troops were concentrated in the north, and hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Bincheng, the first city adjacent to Dashun. Among them, there are also some troops of Duanmu Anguo."
Xuan Tianfeng frowned, still unable to guess what Zong Sui's intentions were. He had seen Li Kun, who was recovering in Kyoto, and the other party only said that the new emperor relied on Duanmu Anguo, which gave him more courage and made him very confident in the control of the rebellion against Dashun. But where did this confidence come from? Xuan Tianfeng thought, it was definitely not as simple as the addition of Duanmu Anguo's troops.
Sui Dynasty, Capital
This is a place very similar to Dashun Kyoto, but its area is much smaller than Dashun, only half the size of Dashun Kyoto.
Zong Sui is the most similar to Dashun among the four states. Not only is the terrain similar, but even the establishment of the prefecture government is similar. It is said that Zong Sui was not like this two hundred years ago until an emperor went to Dashun and was very satisfied with everything in Dashun. So after returning, he tried every means to transform his own country, and almost turned Zong Sui into a small Dashun. This really caused quite a stir at the time, and even a minister committed suicide in court to express his dissatisfaction.
But after several years, people found that this was not a bad idea. The Zong Sui Law, which was revised according to the Dashun Law, was more complete and reasonable than before. The Zong Sui government offices, which were replanned according to the prefectures and counties of Dashun, were also easier to manage. Even the royal harem followed Dashun's example and re-established the three palaces and six courtyards, and the concubine system was also completely imitated. As a result, there were many extra vacancies, so in order to fill the three palaces and six courtyards, Zong Sui once again imitated Dashun's rule of holding a small election every three years and a large election every five years within the territory of the country for beauties in the harem.
But things changed during the reign of Emperor Tianwu. For more than 20 years, Emperor Tianwu was devoted to one person, and all the concubines in the harem were widows, not to mention the selection of concubines. Dashun did not select, and the previous emperor of Sui Dynasty did not select either. If they wanted to learn, they would learn thoroughly. Therefore, there was no new person in Sui Dynasty's harem for many years, and it was really peaceful for a while.
Until the new emperor came to the throne, the ministers could no longer stand it, and someone proposed that the new emperor fill the harem and give birth to offspring for the Sui Dynasty. Because the new emperor only had one queen and four imperial concubines, most of the palaces in the harem were empty. There were fewer imperial concubines than imperial concubines, what was this? What's more, neither the queen nor the four imperial concubines had given birth to offspring, so how could the ministers not be anxious.
The new emperor was cooperative on this point and immediately made the decision to hold a talent show!
Most of the ministers were happy about Zong Sui's selection. After all, with the new emperor, there were too many vacancies in the harem, and the chances of their daughters being selected would increase. Those women who were originally mediocre in appearance and appearance might also be able to get opportunities that should not belong to them because the harem really needed too many people to fill the vacancies.
As for the lives of the daughters after entering the palace, they were not considered by these people. After all, they were just daughters! Daughters were used to make choices and sacrifices for the interests of the family at any time. Whether they could make a name for themselves after entering the palace and whether they could have a seat by the emperor's pillow depended on their own abilities.
Of course, the family did not completely ignore them, but they would not intervene until they had climbed to a certain position and the family saw hope, and would cooperate with her outside the palace in her pursuit of power. And all of this was for the benefit of the family.
This was the thought of most of the officials of the Sui Dynasty, but for General Chunyu's mansion, this selection of concubines was not a good thing. Because General Chunyu's third daughter was the head of the imperial palace, the empress of the Sui Dynasty, and the wife of the emperor. All the concubines were concubines to the empress. The selection of concubines was nothing more than an open invitation to the emperor to take concubines. If these concubines listened to the mistress, it would be fine. If they did not listen and competed for the mistress's favor, there would be another fierce fight...
