Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1274

Yun Shang had already turned around and was about to leave. But when she heard the voice, she suddenly stopped and her eyes were full of surprise.

How could someone think that the beauty selection shouldn't be held?

It was strange.

For some reason, Yun Shang subconsciously felt that the person who spoke just now was most likely Tan Qian, the one Luo Qingyan had mentioned.

Because of his words, the hall suddenly became noisy.

"Oh?" Luo Qingyan said. Yun Shang could tell from his slightly undulating voice that he was smiling.

"So you think I shouldn't hold a selection?"

"Yes."

The person who had suggested Luo Qingyan to hold a selection was unhappy. "Official Tan, don't you think your majesty should select concubines into harem to give birth to children for the royal family?"

"Not really." Tan Qian smiled and said, "I just think that his majesty does have someone in his harem and her majesty has given birth to the crown prince, right?"

"Throughout history, no emperor only has the empress in his harem. And the emperor only has one son, the crown prince. How can it be possible? "

"I don't mean that it's enough for your majesty to have the crown prince. I just think that it's not advisable to select concubines now. Please think about it, Official Liu. It seems very simple. But after his majesty gave the order, all the regions will begin to prepare for the selection. "

"They will carefully selected the candidates in their regions first, and then sent them to the Palace to take part in the second round. It not only takes time and energy, but also a lot of money."

"Since two years ago, the State of Yelang has often offended the border of the State of Xia. His majesty ordered to send troops to fight. Tens of thousands of soldiers had to leave their homes, their parents and children in order to protect the country. In order to make sure that the soldiers could eat and wear well at the border, we have collected food everywhere, in addition, we have also transported the food and money from the national treasury to the border. "

"As you all know, this battle is for the people of the State of Xia, so we must fight. But it's still a huge burden for ordinary people. Their family members have gone to the army, but they still have to offer food. For this, the people have complaints. "

"If his majesty spend a large amount of money to hold a selection at this time, what will the people think?"

The officials in the hall looked at each other, but could not find a word to refute.

With a slight sigh, Tan Qian said, "I mean, his majesty has her majesty and the crown prince now. The selection is not in a hurry, and we can't do it now. A few years later, when we win the war with the State of Yelang and the people live and work in peace after the economy of the State of Xia recovers, if the emperor still has only the crown prince at that time, I'll be the first to stand out and advise the emperor to select concubines. "

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled.

A few years later, when the people live and work in peace after the economy of the state of Xia recovers?

It was unknown how long it would take.

Tan Qian was really interesting.
