Chapter 255: The Four Criteria of the Concubine

Ten days later, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty will select a son-in-law for his beloved daughter Princess Pingyang, and all young talents who meet the requirements can register.

As soon as the news came out, the voices of the whole Chang'an were boiling, and the men were enthusiastic and even more excited than the top scorer in high school, and they were ready to take the lead.

Regarding the registration conditions, the court also issued rules.

"The first condition: an unmarried young man has no engagement, has never divorced, and has no children."

This condition made many men who wanted to abandon their wives and children beat their chests and stamp their feet, lamenting that they had no chance with the princess, and that a marriage made of heaven was strangled.

"The second condition: age requires 18 to 25 years old."

You can't be much smaller than a princess, nor can you be much bigger. If it's too small or too big, who eats the tender grass?

But some men are very angry. What if the princess likes older people? Old people know how to love others and have many varieties.

Of course, some teenagers in their fifteen or sixteen years old were also very angry. What's wrong with them being younger? They are young but have a good ability, have strong durability and great explosive power.

"The third condition: Jinshi status or noble family, or civil servants and generals who have an official position of seventh rank or above."

This condition stopped 90% of the young people.

The 18-25-year-old Jinshi passed the imperial examination. What a joke? There are only a few people in the Tang Dynasty!

Moreover, those who go to the imperial examinations are all poor families. The nobles can enter the official career by relying on their protection and look down on the poor families at all. Therefore, this rule blocked 99:99% of the men in poor families outside the door.

"The fourth condition: noble people from other countries can also participate in the election. Please consult the Honglu Temple for specific conditions."

This is aimed at other countries. In addition to Sui and Shu, there are many foreign tribes around the Tang Dynasty. They have long received the news that Li Xiuning wanted to choose a son-in-law, such as Tubo and Dashi. Tuyuhun had already sent princes to come.

The four conditions stopped many people, but there were still many people who met the conditions. For this reason, the Ministry of Rites set up a registration office to register information.

In less than two days, more than 200 people participated.

Next, an interview is required.

The so-called interview is to ask people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison to check the eight characters. Those who are in conflict with each other and do not match will naturally be eliminated. Moreover, those who are not good at face to face and lack happiness and longevity will also be eliminated. As for those who are ugly, they will be eliminated.

In this round, more than 200 people were left, and they were all young talents from Chang'an City. They were all outstanding in both reputation and background.

After all this trouble, five or six days have passed.

In the past few days, Yang Shuang has been low-key and easy to explain and is free and easy in the prosperous Chang'an City.

After Li Jing became Li Jiancheng's confidant, he began to contact core affairs, so he was busy these days. At this time, Yang Shuang also knew Li Jiancheng's intention to invite Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang to Chang'an.

The idea of ​​refining health pills first and attracting Li Yuan gradually made Li Yuan obsessed with pursuing immortality.

Pills are three parts poisonous, and taking them for a long time is not a good thing. In addition, once things like Changsheng are obsessed, they will be deeply trapped in them.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng's purpose is self-evident.

Li Yuan was not young and was not as energetic as before, but he was not sick or affected. It was easy to be an emperor for a few years, so Li Jiancheng was a little anxious and tried every means to find something for his father to die early as soon as possible, so that he could get to power as soon as possible.

After Li Jing became Li Jiancheng's confidant, he naturally entered Li Shimin's sight.

After investigation, they learned that Li Jing was a wanderer whom Wang Gui met when he was assassinated. He found that he had talent and entrusted him with important tasks. What's ridiculous is that Wang Gui also shirked the assassination to the Qin Palace, so it was the Qin Palace who helped Li Jiancheng recruit Li Jing.

Oh my god!

Li Shimin was a little confused. When did he send someone to assassinate Wang Gui?

And the previous act of assassinating Wei Zheng was not what he sent to do!

Because Li Shimin understood that if he sent someone to assassinate Wei Zheng or Wang Gui, then Li Jiancheng would definitely do the same, and then Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others from his lineage would be in danger.

Therefore, Li Shimin disdains to assassinate his people in order to protect them.

Who framed himself with the assassination?

Li Shimin couldn't guess thoroughly, so he sent someone to try to contact Li Jing. If he could win over, he would add another talent.

Unfortunately, Li Shimin is not only one step late, and Li Jing will not be used by Li Shimin now.

In addition, Monk Bianyi has become a famous holy monk in Chang'an City, attracting countless pilgrims to visit every day, especially female relatives.

Yang Shuang took the opportunity to order people to spread some rumors that Master Bianyi was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, which gave him a fantasy color and made Bianyi's reputation stronger.

So, some Buddhists began to invite Bian Yi to banquet for Bian Yi. Yang Shuang had to remind Bian Yi to keep his original heart and body, and never become a lustful monk.

Monk Bianji's fate is very sad, I hope Bianyi will not take this path.

......

Dada dada...

At noon, dust suddenly rose outside the North City Gate, and a soldier could be seen coming from afar.

The lieutenant in charge of guarding the city immediately took people to check and stopped the other party.

"Where are you from?" the middle-aged captain asked quickly, not daring to be negligent. Because the soldiers looked solemn and slaughtered. Although there were not many people, they were aggressive. At first glance, they were soldiers on the border who were fighting on the battlefield and licking blood from the knife.

A general took out the token and said, "I am ordered to return to Beijing to report my work!"

When the middle-aged captain took the token, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be several generals of the Detachment of Women. I deserve to die. I will lead the way!"

Then, the lieutenant personally led the way and sent the troops into the city.

However, these generals did not go to the Ministry of War, but went to Princess Pingyang's Mansion.

Li Xiuning was practicing calligraphy in the mansion. When he heard that the ten generals under his command had arrived, he immediately summoned him.

Ten generals entered the living room and saw Li Xiuning in men's clothing. They did not dare to neglect and quickly saluted.

They respect Li Xiuning very much and did not despise him just because he was a woman. Li Xiuning not only led the way, but also made plans. He was an excellent commander, leading them to countless victories of all sizes.

"Sit!" Li Xiuning said with a smile, and then asked about the war in the northern border.

Li Xiuning has been back to Chang'an for four or five months. She had been in the northern border, but the reason for returning to Chang'an was naturally because of the marriage.

After listening to the reports of several generals, Li Xiuning said, "I will go back within a month. Thank you for your hard work this time, so you will be able to support me."

Li Xiuning decided not to be the person who was timid and only listened but didn't say anything.

She wants to express her opinions and choose her son-in-law according to her own ideas, so the ten generals in front of her are her source of strength.

The ten generals immediately stood up and held their fists to receive the order.

They followed Li Xiuning's leader. For example, this time, returning to Beijing directly without the order from the Ministry of War represents their attitude and Li Xiuning's control over the 100,000 Detachment of Women.

"Now, you go to the Ministry of War to report it! As for the Ministry of War inquiries, let's be honest, I asked you to come back!" Li Xiuning said.
