Su Yan was helpless in the face of Yuan Bolang's aggressiveness, so he could only look at Liu Yu with help. Liu Yu said seriously: "The Prime Minister Yuan is now at the time of national mourning. Can't you wait until the previous emperor is buried before planning?"

Yuan Bolang said arrogantly: "The new emperor accepts a concubine. This matter is related to the continuation of the royal bloodline. What a major matter? If the former emperor knows, he will definitely agree with my husband's actions. Commander Liu, I will still advise the emperor to put the country first!"

Yuan Bolang is also considered pedantic. Although Liu Yu thought so, he still stood on Yuan Bolang when choosing a concubine. On the one hand, as Yuan Bolang mentioned, choosing a concubine can bring the emperor closer to the relationship between the ministers and families of Chang'an, so that the weak new emperor has more helpers. Furthermore, Su Yan is the kind of person who is full and warm and thinks about yin. Instead of letting him make trouble in the harem, it is better to take a concubine to make friends with ministers.

Liu Yu made a few words to the emperor. Although Su Yan was a little reluctant, he still agreed to go with him and asked Yuan Bolang to go back and handle the matter. He planned to take a trip to Yuan's mansion in the afternoon.

"Master, can I go and discuss with Xiaoyu?" After Yuan Bolang left, Su Yan looked at Liu Yu with a somewhat aggrieved expression and asked.

It was said to be "discussion", but the matter had to be done. Su Yan just told Xiaoyu and made her feel prepared.

Liu Yu accompanied Su Yan to the inner court, and Xiaoyu was still having a fever after getting cold and was covered with a towel on his head, and his face was not very energetic. Liu Yu didn't want to disturb the couple's conversation, so he waited at the door. It seemed that Xiaoyu didn't mind Su Yan's acceptance of concubine. After all, it was rare for emperors to have only monogamous since ancient times. However, Liu Yu would help Su Yan and Xiaoyu fight for whatever he said. After all, Xiaoyu was Su Yan's wife, which was related to Su Yan's responsibility as a man.

Xiaoyu is innocent and kind, and she is also purely admiring Su Yan. This is the condition that the mother of a country should have. Liu Yu was just afraid that she would be too weak and would not be able to control the women in the inner palace in the future.

Su Yan came out and said with a little emotion: "Xiaoyu didn't say anything, she just said she wanted to go with us."

Liu Yu looked into the room and looked expectant, Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the sickbed with a look of anticipation, nodded to Su Yan and said, "Xiaoyu is your wife. You want to take a concubine, and the stubborn old man next to him can't say anything."

It was almost noon, and it was time for lunch, Su Yanben wanted to leave Liu Yu to eat with him, but Liu Yu politely declined. Although his relationship with Su Yan was not ordinary, he still had to abide by the rules of the court. Eating with the emperor for no reason would be criticized by censors.

Originally, Liu Yu planned to go home for dinner, but he met Yang Lie at the entrance of the palace. Yang Lie has been pursuing the whereabouts of Qian Hui and the King of Chu for the past two days. His eyes were red like a wild beast, and his face was glistening.

"Commander Liu, there is news from the King of Chu. All the secret spies that the King of Chu will go to meet will be silenced and will go south under the escort of a bunch of subordinates."

Liu Yu's previous concerns were confirmed. The King of Chu was indeed inspired by Mingjin. Going south, he went to surrender to the King of Huai. He was not sure about the secret of it? Or because Mingjin was a lobbying genius?

Yang Lie also talked about the situation of chasing Qian Hui: "Qian Hui is still missing. All the sects in Chang'an are strictly investigating and guarding him. He will definitely not let him get out of the city. Today, he caught a person in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. According to the person's instructions, Qian Hui asked him to contact Yuan Prime Minister."

Fortunately, Liu Yu was prepared before, afraid that money would go back and complain to Yuan Bolang, so he asked Yang Lie to arrange spies around the families of some ministers who might endanger the emperor's power, and investigate the movements of these people at any time, in order to control the situation in Chang'an City. Unexpectedly, he harvested a big fish.

"Did that person explain the contact location?" Liu Yu asked hurriedly.

"I'm going, but..." Yang Lie said with some regret, "I didn't find anyone, I should have escaped first when I heard the wind."

Liu Yu comforted Yang Lie a few words and told him to rest. After all, the iron-killed body could not withstand the torture. Yang Lie said gratefully: "I will go back and have a good sleep. In addition, I will send an Imperial Guard to intercept the King of Chu to the south and informed the local area to assist. There should be news tonight."

Liu Yu nodded, patted Yang Lie on the shoulder and asked him to go. Qian Hui and the King of Chu were temporarily unable to be arrested, and it was always Liu Yu's heart disease.

…………

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the eighth month, less than two days after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor was about to start choosing a concubine.

The Yuan family was prime minister three times, and the fifth generation was in the dynasty. This can be said to be one of the top wealthy families in the capital. This time, Yuan Bolang also listed the second son's ** as the candidate. In addition to the women who came to other families in Chang'an City, there were more than 30 people.

These women are the legitimate daughters of the family, and have status in the family. They have been taught by famous teachers since childhood. They usually walk in a regular manner without going out of the two doors. They can be said to be a model of a kind woman. Another reason why these women were qualified as a candidate for a concubine is that their appearance is not only beautiful, but also charming, and they have to be stubborn and have good health.

As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Liu Yu naturally needed him to protect the palace for the first time when the new emperor left the palace. Liu Yu had already asked the right commander Lan Jing to seal the road from the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance. A large number of Imperial Guards were arranged along the way. In addition, Su Yan was riding the most solid imperial carriage, and the crossbow could not be shot through. In short, Liu Yu could not let Su Yan be a short-lived emperor.

The journey was smooth, and Liu Yu rode on the horse and also told Su Yan some truths. To sum up, if you either choose, you don’t choose one, and if you want to choose, you have to do it all. This is to weigh the face of the candidate imperial concubine family and not to be partial. Seeing that Su Yan was in trouble, Liu Yu explained again that he would only give them a title for the time being when he chose them. After that, he had the final say on how Su Yan faced these women.

Yuan Bolang personally took his children and grandchildren to pick up the imperial carriage in front of the mansion. The candidate imperial concubine entered the mansion from the back door. Su Yan and Xiaoyu, accompanied by Liu Yu and Yuan Bolang, before they arrived in a landscape courtyard in the backyard, through the shade of weeping willows, you can see the ladies chatting from afar. It is rare that they can leave the mansion once, and the family did not explain the reason for this trip to them. They just thought it was a rare gathering and made new sisters.

Su Yan was confused by so many beautiful women. If it were the past, when would it be his turn to see or even evaluate these ladies in the deep boudoir? Now they are not only standing in front of them, but also choosing them themselves, and even speaking their mouths will become their own concubines. After being a depressed emperor for two days, he felt that being an emperor was really a rare beauty for the first time. It was much more fun than fighting crickets.

When he heard Yuan Bolang's words, he came to his senses, but found that Xiaoyu was looking at him curiously. Su Yan's face turned red at the moment.

Su Yan seemed a little shy, and had no idea. He was afraid that Xiaoyu would blame him for being affectionate. He looked at Xiaoyu and asked, "My beloved concubine... what do you think?"

This is the first time Su Yan calls Xiaoyu "beloved concubine", which is also what Liu Yu specifically instructed that he should not call Xiaoyu's name directly in front of others.

A fresh smile appeared on the little fish's face, and even the disease seemed to fade away, even more touching than those bellies.

"Everything is very good." Xiaoyu looked at Liu Yu again as he spoke. Liu Yu was staring at the candidate concubines in a daze. Because he found that one of them was Li Zheer, who had not seen him for many days.

"Secretary Yuan, can I... choose all?" Su Yan asked according to Liu Yu's previous intention.

This time, without Yuan Bolang's answer, Liu Yu replied directly: "No!"

Su Yan was stunned: "Commander Liu, why is this?"

"Choose the imperial concubine is the most important matter. Be cautious and cautious." Liu Yu took out Yuan Bolang's tone and put on an official voice.

Su Yan nodded in an unknown way, but he still didn't understand why the master suddenly changed the direction of the wind. Liu Yu was almost saying to him, if you choose all of them, I will fight you for life! (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
