The Jinyiwei and the East Chamber patrol the world.
No one dared to question Zhao Hao's ability to govern.
They often forgot that Zhao Hao had just turned thirteen this year.
The reform of the administration of officials, the conquest of mountains and rivers, the smooth administration of people.
Zhao Hao had spent three months to accomplish the career that some wise rulers had pursued for their entire lives.
"Where is the Dali envoy?"
Zhao Hao sat on the carriage and turned to look at Xiao Guizi.
"Your Majesty,"
"The Dali envoy's carriage just arrived in Zhengzhou yesterday.”
"In about two days, we will reach Bianjing.”
"Perhaps Dali and Xixia will submit before Your Majesty officially enthrones the throne," Xiao Guizi said.”
"Wait until they reach Bianjing."
"Let the Ministry of Rites arrange for them to meet him."
"Call the Xixia envoy along.”
"We can't leave them hanging for too long." Zhao Hao smiled faintly.”
"This servant will remember it."
Xiao Guizi quickly nodded.
Zhao Hao raised his head and looked ahead. They were about to reach Blessing Extending Palace, so he nodded slightly and said no more.
Blessing Extending Palace was not in the Imperial City.
It was about two to three miles away from the Imperial City. Back then, the Great Ancestor Zhao Kuangyin had built the Blessing Extending Palace to create an amusement park for himself, so the scale of the construction was not considered large at the beginning.
After Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, he felt that the place to play was too small and ordered the Ministry of Works to expand wantonly.
After the expansion of Blessing Extending Palace, there were many pavilions, platforms, pavilions, and pavilions. They were elegant, comfortable, and quite elegant. Emperor Huizong of Song spent most of his time here.
Unfortunately, Huizong did not enjoy it for long before Bianjing was breached by the Jin army and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed overnight.
Zhao Hao actually didn't have a good impression of this most talented emperor in history.
It was normal for emperors to have some hobbies, be it music, chess, calligraphy, painting, alchemy, or even beautiful women playing the flute.
But first, you have to govern the country well.
If he treated his hobby as his main job and threw governing the country to the back of his mind, how could he not destroy the country?
It was said that a few years ago, Emperor Huizong died of illness, and his body was lit up by the golden man.
Within Blessing Extension Palace.
Zhao Hao sat on the dragon throne.
Li Guang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Taichang Temple and the Minister of Rites sat at the bottom.
Ten officials from the Ministry of Rites sat behind them, each with fifty to sixty albums on their table.
Each album recorded the information of different beautiful women.
When the consort selection officially began.
They would rank the pictures according to Zhao Hao's reaction.
"Your Majesty?"
Xiao Guizi whispered to Zhao Hao.
"Let's begin."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The Minister of Rites and the Assistant Minister of Rites hurriedly nodded.
After a while.
An official from the Ministry of Rites led twenty beautiful women into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The ladies stood in a row and bowed to Zhao Hao.
The stewards and officials of the Ministry of Rites had already taught them these things during the few days they had stayed in Blessing Extending Palace.
"Rise!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ladies slowly stood up.
Zhao Hao looked down at the group of beautiful girls. The younger ones were eleven or twelve years old, while the older ones were only seventeen or eighteen.
If the lolicon was reborn as an emperor, she would probably be so excited that she would die of sudden death.
Zhao Hao wasn't that weird.
He only liked good-looking girls.
According to this standard.
Zhao Hao spent more than three hours picking out twenty-seven beauties.
"How many more are there?"
Zhao Hao took the opportunity to ask Xiao Guizi.
"Only the last eighteen."
"Your Majesty, please be patient. It will pass very quickly.”
Xiao Guizi secretly cheered Zhao Hao on.
"That's good."
Zhao Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
He did not expect it to be so difficult to choose a wife.
It was better not to do so much in the future.
The last batch of beauties arrived.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Hao was surprised to find a familiar figure in the crowd.
Wasn't this the girl he saved from the rebel army?
……
Tang Wan stood on the left side of the female lead.
Her mind was filled with regret and distress.
If he had known that the Emperor was going to select a concubine, he would have agreed to the Lu family's proposal.
She heard that the young master of the Lu family called Lu You was only a few years older than her, but his name had already spread far and wide in Jiangnan.
Even if he could not compare to that sword immortal, he did not have any feelings for her. It was better to marry him than to die of old age in the palace.
At the beginning of the talent show.
Tang Wan deliberately made herself look ugly, and her behavior was not decent, but she was still selected by the Ministry of Rites.
After that.
Tang Wan didn't dare to act recklessly.
If the Ministry of Rites determined that she had disregarded the rules of etiquette, the entire Tang family would probably die.
"I hope Your Majesty will let me go and send me back to my hometown.”
"If I can meet that immortal again, I must ask him why he didn't take me with him back then.”
"This is simply too detestable."
All sorts of thoughts lingered in Tang Wan's mind.
At this moment.
Zhao Hao pointed at the absent-minded girl and said with a faint smile,""What's her name?"
"Hmm?"
Li Guang and the others turned to look.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Tang Wan.
"Your Majesty."
"This woman is Tang Wan, the daughter of Tang Hong, the general judge of Shaoxing. She has just turned twelve this year.”
An official from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stood up and handed the picture album to a eunuch.
The young eunuch quickly handed the picture album to Zhao Hao.
"Tang Wan?"
A smile appeared on Zhao Hao's face.
