At the end of February, the weather began to get warm. Yunqing and Yuxi are ready to leave Beijing.
Qihao disagreed and said, "Dad, the end of October is your sixty birthday. I have nothing to say if you don't live a life on weekdays, but you can't live a life without sixty. "
"When your father and I are in their eighties, we will have a banquet for all the civil and military officials. Now it's only sixty. What a long life. " Yunqing is not interested in longevity at all. He feels that he is really old after longevity. Although he always said that he was old, he felt that he was still young and could live another thirty or forty years.
Qi Hao has no choice but to ask Yuxi for help.
"Yu Xi said with a smile," it's not necessary for the grand plan. Then the whole family will sit together and have a meal. " In fact, it's for foreigners to have a big birthday party. She felt that the most important thing was to be happy and comfortable.
This means that before the end of October, the two can return to Beijing. When Qihao heard this, he did not speak any more.
At the beginning of March, local women were selected. At the end of April, these women arrived in the capital for handsome selection.
Normally speaking, the topic of "handsome talent girl" is discussed all over the capital. But this time it was an exception. All the streets were talking about the imperial court's recruitment of women soldiers.
In order to support jujube, Qihao ordered to recruit and select female soldiers nationwide. This is the first time in all dynasties.
Qi Hao thought that the courtiers would object to his decision, but he didn't expect that several people turned against it.
"I thought that after the imperial decree of selecting female soldiers was issued, there would be a lot of books about impeachment and opposition!" Unexpectedly, it was so calm.
Qi you said with a smile, "there are the female general, the elder sister, and the female generals, such as aunt corydalis and fumulan. They don't have enough reason to object. "
In fact, Qiyou said these are only part of the reason. Many ministers kept silent because this time it was a voluntary principle. If the imperial court compulsorily recruits and elects female soldiers, the result must be different. Under normal circumstances, no one will send his girl to be a soldier. Therefore, there is no need to object. No need to jump and be watched by the emperor.
There are requirements for the selection of female soldiers, not that you can come if you want. Height and physical fitness are all qualified. If you don't meet the standard, you can't even be a female soldier.
Under these conditions, 38 women were recruited half a month after the notice was posted. Of these thirty-eight, thirty-two were graduates or students of the women's martial arts school. That is to say, only six people have been recruited. But these six people, are all five big three thick looks not good-looking is not easy to find the mother-in-law's family. It's also a way out to think that soldiers can be paid.
Qi Hao looked at the list, shook his head and said: "elder sister also said that she wanted to recruit 3000 people. In this way, it's good to recruit 300 people. "
In fact, in these years, jujube also cultivates female guards around or girls who enter the military camp from the women's martial arts hall. However, there are very few that can be mixed up. Up to now, the Mulan rank is the highest.
Qiyou smiled and said, "three hundred is good. I'm afraid that after three hundred recruitment, all the women soldiers have been married and given birth to children. At that time, the white tosses Tongcheng is a man's land, and female tigers are rare. Unless the female soldiers formed by his eldest sister are horribly ugly, they will surely be missed by the light.
Hearing this, Qi Hao frowned and said, "elder sister told me before that Tongcheng has more men than women, and many middle-level generals have not married yet. This time, he said, "let me find a way to solve this problem." The purpose of folding on jujube and jujube is to hope that Qihao will pay attention to this matter and then solve one.
"Under normal circumstances, which girl would like to marry to Tongcheng?" The conditions there are hard and the winter is very cold. People in poor health are likely to freeze to death there. No one is willing to marry even the middle-level generals of the four or five grades.
"What's your good idea?" Qi Hao asked
Qiyou said he had no good idea.
In the evening, Qihao returns to Kunning palace.
Tan Aoshuang looked at his face and asked, "emperor, but what's the trouble?"
Qi Hao said with a voice, "elder sister asked me to solve the marriage affairs of those middle and lower level generals in Tongcheng."
Jujube said that these generals and men were delayed in their lives to protect their families and the country. As the emperor, they have the responsibility and obligation to help them solve this problem. So it doesn't matter.
Understanding the specific situation, Tan Aoshuang said with a smile: "the palace is preparing to put a group of palace maids out in October, which just solved your problem." When the maid is twenty-five years old, she can go home. Of course, you can stay in the palace if you don't want to go back.
At the beginning of the year, a group of 10-year-old girls have been selected from kindergartens around the country to enter the palace. Now these children are learning the rules. When these people learn the rules well, it's time for these palace maids to leave the palace.
Qihao said, "I'm afraid they won't?"
"I don't want to. It's better to marry a military general of high rank than to go home and be picked by others. " Unless they don't marry, it's hard to find a desirable family when they are so old that they either become stephouses or marry poor and filing men.
After a pause, Tan Aoshuang said: "now the imperial court has many photos of the martyr's orphans. It's really unexpected, and the life can go on." The court will provide free books and martial arts for the children left after the soldiers died. In addition to the pension given by the court, it's OK to raise the children carefully until they grow up.
Qi Hao said, "ask their opinions. If you want to marry in Tongcheng, the court will buy them a dowry."
"Personal preferences are different, and the dowry we offer them may not be as they wish. Plus the long way from Beijing to Tongcheng, this thing is not easy to take. " Therefore, it is better to give money directly.
Qihao nodded his head.
Tan Aoshuang thought about it and said: "emperor, there are many young women in the relief hospital. If we talk about them and ask them to agree to marry in Tongcheng, we should be able to solve some of life's major issues, right? "
The women in the almsgiving house are basically desperate after they are married. But those ordinary soldiers in Tongcheng are happy enough to marry a wife. They don't care much whether they are divorced or divorced. Of course, I have to ask for my consent, and then the person selected must also meet several conditions of the relief hospital. Otherwise, it's all right.
Qihao thought the idea was wonderful. There are only thirty or forty palace maids to be released this time. But the relief homes are basically in every state capital. The total number is quite considerable: "Zitong, you must mobilize them to marry in Tongcheng."
Tan Aoshuang said: "emperor, just tell them that if the man is not good to them, they can go back to the relief hospital. I believe that many people will agree." With this commitment, they are given a way back. You should know that there is a rule in the relief hospital that no one can go back after leaving.
Yuxi made the rule that she would not come back from the relief home. The purpose is to hope that these women can meet the new life with a new state. Instead of using the relief home as a shelter, come back if you don't like it. She wanted to give these people a chance to come back, not to support them all her life.
These women who were laid off or divorced. If you have children, you may not want to remarry. But those who have no children are afraid that they will not depend on them when they are old, so most of them still want to remarry.
After solving a big problem, Qihao was in a good mood. After dinner, I accompanied Tan Aoshuang to the garden for a walk. Both husband and wife said and walked, seemingly speechless.
On the way to the middle of the road, I heard a pleasant song. Shuan, who was following, heard the sound and his face turned ugly. This damned fox spirit knows to seduce the emperor with this kind of means.
As for the ladies, because Tan Aoshuang has made rules. No matter it's dark, you can't smash the palace and walk around in the daytime.
Tan Aoshuang said with a smile, "it's the first time I've heard Yin's concubines sing. It's really good." I'm going to be a new comer soon. I'll be jealous if I want anything.
Qi Hao didn't comment.
After a while, Yin's concubine came. I saluted them first, then looked up at Qihao expectantly.
However, Qi Hao said to her expressionless, "if you want to sing in the future, you should sing in your bedroom. Don't run to the garden to sing again."
Yin's concubines thought that the emperor would praise her for her beautiful singing. Unexpectedly, they heard such words. They were deeply shocked at the moment and said with tears in their eyes: "my concubines obey the orders."
Qi Hao didn't tell her any more, and Tan Aoshuang went on shopping in the garden.
After a few steps, Qihao and Tan Aoshuang said, "no one is allowed to sing and play the piano in the garden at night. If there is any violation, it will be punished severely." Yunqing and Yuxi have the habit of walking after dinner, and they usually go for a walk in the garden. In the evening, I heard a mess of voices. What should I do in case of fear.
I have to say that Qihao really thinks about it. Yunqing and Yuxi are cowards.
There were thirty-eight women in the palace. After three choices, sixteen were left. The last stage is still talent show. Because the final choice is to be determined by Qi Hao, he came out during the talent show.
Because the selection of concubines also follows the principle of voluntariness, and those who can come here are not forced. So, the game that decides fate, let 16 beautiful women make every effort to attract Qihao's attention.
Finally, Qi Hao chose three people. All three of them are outstanding in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. One is good at dancing and playing. The other is able to embroider on both sides.
These three people are not particularly outstanding in their looks. The two beauties, both of whom were very beautiful, were defeated.
Not to mention other people, even tan Aoshuang didn't understand the criteria for Qihao to choose a concubine. But it's good for her.
Qi Hao conferred three beautiful women on the spot, all of them from Xiaoyi of liupin. This position is relatively low. But when they open branches and leaves for the royal family, the rank will be raised.
This evening, Tan Aoshuang had only half a bowl of rice, and could not eat any more. There are three more women in the palace who want to share their husband with her. How can they be in a good mood!
It's dark. Tan Aoshuang can't read the book. In order to avoid being confused, she teaches her brother to talk. After teaching for a long time, my brother still only called me father and mother.
Brother min was tired and had a good time. Just about to go to sleep with brother min, he heard Shu'an say, "the emperor is lucky."
