After the prime ministers left, Liu Mingqi walked out of the imperial study alone.

He took a slow walk in the imperial garden.

Then he suddenly said to Gao Ying behind him: "Do you know? Lao Gao, I originally planned to give this cigarette heavy tax as a gift to the Supreme Emperor. Then, I planned to give it to the two princes. Later, I planned to give it to Wang Bo Su or Ming Jing... As a result, they could not use it, but I used it myself."

Gao Ying has been following Liu Mingqi forever, and of course he also heard his conversation with the prime ministers.

So he nodded and said, "That's your Majesty's great blessings, so of course it's yours!"

"No, you don't understand..."

Liu Mingqi smiled, "This feeling is very bad. Actually, I don't want me to be able to use it...but everything is fate, and there is no way to help others!"

He suddenly realized why almost every emperor had a very favored eunuch.

Because eunuchs follow the emperor almost anytime and anywhere, just like the emperor's shadow.

Sometimes people are lonely, uncomfortable, and happy. If there is no one else to share, then isn’t it just talking to themselves to share?

The eunuch played such a role.

So it is not difficult for you to understand why Emperor Ling of Han shouted "Zhang Rang's father, Zhao Zhong's mother", and you can also understand why so many eunuchs can hold powerful power.

Emperor Jinghe and Zhao Shou are also such examples.

But Liu Mingqi knew that such an intimate relationship was abnormal.

A normal emperor should not trust too much to a eunuch, nor should he be an extension of his own power - that is, he cannot be the person who exercises power for him.

As we all know, 9999 of the ten thousand eunuchs were perverted, and the remaining few could be counted in both hands in the entire Chinese dynasty.

Liu Mingqi is now using eunuchs because of the helplessness of the times.

Unless he is the founding king who is decisive in killing and decisive, he can eliminate eunuchs from the beginning, so that no one dares to speak.

But he was just the emperor in the middle of the dynasty, with the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor above and the Prime Minister and the Officials below. How could they make Liu Mingqi "do things wrong"?

Moreover, in the Great Kang Dynasty, the power of eunuchs was very limited.

Taizu learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and ordered that if any eunuch dared to participate in the government, "anyone was killed will be innocent", and "the emperor stopped him, the cabinet could discuss with the royal family and abdicate him."

So far, no emperor dares to disobey.

So for the time being, Liu Mingqi will not deliberately alienate these eunuchs.

...

As the boy walked, Bai Qian ran over and invited Liu Mingqi to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Liu Mingqi sighed and asked Bai Qian: "Old Bai, tell me honestly, does Grandma Huang want me to go on a blind date again?"

Bai Qian smiled apologized and said, "Master, look at what you said, which woman in the world deserves to date you... You just choose! I dare say, "Your Majesty is not determined on this day, and the Empress Dowager will not be at ease!"

"All right!"

Liu Mingqi said helplessly: "Lead the way!"

In a short while, Liu Mingqi arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Although the Empress Dowager has been "upgraded", she still looks the same.

She asked Liu Mingqi to sit in front of her and said with a smile: "Emperor, your mother came to me again yesterday and gave me some information from several girls. I looked at it and it felt quite good. How about you choose?"

Liu Mingqi didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Who are you choosing this time?"

"The most outstanding one is Liang Jingjing, the daughter of the River Governor Liang Yinglin." The Empress Dowager gave him a sketch, "Look, he is one year younger than you, and he looks so handsome."

Under the leadership of Liu Mingqi, many of Dakang's painters began to use sketching techniques.

Especially in the Ministry of Justice’s pursuit documents, the sketches of prisoners are the most common.

In the blind date market, people don’t want any image painting now. They want sketches of men and women, so that they can be realistic.

Otherwise, if there is Xi Shi in the painting, and if there is Dong Shi when we meet, it will be too late to cry.

When Liu Mingqi saw it, hey, she was really pretty, with a small melon-shaped face and delicate facial features.

"good."

He nodded, "Who else?"

"There are also the third daughter of Zhenqinghou... and the fifth daughter of the prefect of Changsha Prefecture..."

The Empress Dowager showed him one by one and explained the advantages of these girls to him. It can be seen that she was quite satisfied.

This is also nonsense.

She would definitely not recommend her to her grandson if she was not satisfied.

Because now the queen is to be decided.

The Queen, the candidate for Emperor Dakang's palace, did not pay much attention to it.

Because Taizu's design of the imperial court and the royal family's rules and regulations is more reasonable, even if you choose the daughter of the general or the prime minister's daughter, you will not be able to cause any storm.

Taizu not only avoided eunuchs interfering in politics, but also strictly prohibited the concubines from interfering in politics, and did not give any power to the queen's relatives.

At best, the queen's father was appointed as the duke. If her father was gone, then she would be the elder brother and younger brother... Anyway, she would only choose one, and then be demoted to Chengjue until she became a commoner.

If my father is still an official, then he chooses to continue to be an official, wait for his retirement before he is granted a title, or directly retires to a title. It is impossible for him to be both an official of the court and a duke.

The nobles of Dakang also had no political rights, so this duke was just a wealthy person and nothing.

Since the queen is not in danger, the ministers do not have much scrutiny on the queen's candidates, and just let the royal family make the decision.

But as a royal family, the queen is naturally good at giving equal character and appearance.

The Empress Dowager chose for Liu Mingqi as a well-known girl.

Just what is beautiful as a fairy is not enough to be a candidate for queen.

When I saw Liu Mingqi, I even claimed good every time, but I didn't say who I liked at all. The Empress Dowager couldn't help it: "Emperor, you can't delay it anymore! The Hou Temple has always been unparalleled, which will make people laugh! Give me a little serious and set the candidates in the latest one month!"

Liu Mingqi was a little silent.

No matter how the men complain, deep down he still wants to marry a young lady the most.

Don’t look at their attitude so arrogantly, you put the ladies in front of them, and make sure that the men want them too.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for him to be so unscrupulous in Dakang.

Even if it is the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor, the court officials will not allow him to marry a woman who killed the former prince, even if there is no reason.

Emperor Dakang's empress could even be a civilian woman, but she could not be such a woman with serious guilt.

So after seeing the young lady and confirming her safety, Liu Mingqi felt at ease, thinking that she could let the young lady come out and live a good life in the future. She didn't dare to think about the queen and concubine.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi had some plans in her mind.

He said in a difficult manner: "Grandma Huang, I really don't like you very much... They just laugh at it! Anyway, I will have children and daughters soon. Can't you just set up a wife as the queen? Sister Shuang can do it!"

"this……"

The Empress Dowager had no prejudice when it came to the emperor's proposal of Wu Yeshuang. She liked this girl, and Xiong Daliqiao was absolutely good at raising her.

But she was still a little unwilling to give up, "Emperor, you really don't want to choose another one? You and them have already married, but the emperor's wedding has not yet... This is a bit inappropriate, right?"

Liu Mingqi spread her hands: "You are trying to force me, right?"

"What did I force you to do?" The Empress Dowager glared at him, "You can give me an answer today!"

"well!"

The boy sighed, "I didn't want to be so early... But Grandma Huang said so, so I can only let it go."

"Really?" The Empress Dowager was surprised.

"But I imagine Grandma Huang, you ask for a promise, but I don't know if it's OK?" Liu Mingqi said: "Don't worry, you must be able to do this."

"What the hell is it?" The Empress Dowager felt a little bad.

Liu Mingqi lied without blinking: "I haven't thought about it now, let's talk about it later."

The Empress Dowager frowned, always feeling that there was a fraud inside.

But the emperor has always been a good boy. What bad intentions can he have?

In comparison, it is better to quickly choose his queen, which is the most important thing.

So she finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"

Liu Mingqi stopped when she saw the opportunity: "Grandma Huang, the person I like is Su Xiaoxue. What do you think?"

"Su Xiaoxue?" The Empress Dowager said in surprise: "Hasn't she refused before?"

"It probably won't happen now, right?" Liu Mingqi said: "She is one year older and she doesn't have the right person yet, so of course I am the most suitable one."

"Uh-huh!"

The Empress Dowager nodded violently, "Okay! I'll go and match you up again... I have to use some tricks this time!"

The Empress Dowager ate more salt than Su Xiaoxue ate.

It was a prince and princess before, so she wouldn't have used her means.
