Chapter 213: Selection of the Emperor and Empress

Zhuge Liang is very serious about his work.

The news that Rosen was going to select the emperor and empress was spread immediately.

Then... the entire Qingzhou City...

No, it should be said that the entire Yanhuang was in an uproar.

The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Everyone knows that Rosen is still alone now. Once he becomes the empress, the child he gives birth to will definitely be the heir to the empire.

As a result, thousands of women have flocked to Qingzhou City in recent days.

Those who can get this news are basically people with some power.

If Rosen hadn't required that the age must be between 20 and 30, Qingzhou City would probably be overcrowded.

Although after Rosen came to power, the legal age for marriage was stipulated to be 18 years old.

However, there are not many women who are over 20 years old and still unmarried.

Zhuge Liang also required a woman with a certain family background and good manners, and she had to be beautiful.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that a woman who meets these requirements will not be married by the age of 20.

"Master Zhuge, look at my daughter, she is sixteen years old and absolutely beautiful." Yu Guancang dragged his daughter into Zhuge Wulong's office and said, "Recommend her to the lord. Whether it succeeds or not, I will owe you a favor. What do you think?"

Zhuge Wulong glanced at Yu Guancang's daughter. He had seen her in his mansion last time. She looked very young, probably not even fifteen years old. He shook his head and said, "The lord said she had to be over twenty years old."

"In two or three years, she will be twenty years old. Besides... who doesn't like young girls..."

"You'd better save your thoughts. The Lord has personally issued a law that marriage before the age of eighteen is a crime. Do you think the Lord will personally violate the law he has made?"

Yu Guancang looked disappointed. If he had known this, he would not have married his eldest daughter so early.

The eldest son-in-law is so mediocre that he has wasted his beautiful and well-educated daughter.

……

The Fu family——

After Fu Tianchou was rescued a few years ago, he did not accept Rosen's official position because he was dissatisfied with Rosen's identity as a traitor.

He has always been loyal to the Daji Dynasty, but as the Yanhuang banner was established, as Yanhuang grew stronger day by day, and as the general trend became clear, Fu Tianchou's mentality began to change.

As a bystander, he witnessed how Yanhuang developed from a small workshop to the listed company it is today.

He has even seen the greatness of Yanhuang.

Even though Yanhuang has not yet established a country, it has unprecedented popular support.

Moreover, this is a highly unified and centralized country that has eliminated the cancer of aristocratic families.

In the past, imperial power did not extend to the countryside and did not exist at all in Yanhuang.

Any landlord or rich man who dared to go against the law has become the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Fu Tianchou already regretted his original refusal.

Rosen had only invited Fu Tianchou once, and then he never asked again.

In fact, in Rosen's eyes, Fu Tianchou was a good official, but not worthy of his repeated invitations, at least not as good as Zhuge Liang.

At this moment, the door of the Fu family was pushed open.

Zuo Qiusheng rushed into the Fu family in a hurry: "Old Master Fu."

"Zuo Qiu Sheng, what are you crazy about again?" Fu Tianchou looked at Zuo Qiu Sheng who ran in with a little dissatisfaction.

Zuo Qiu Sheng had previously accepted Xia Houjie’s invitation and is now the chief instructor of the Qingzhou garrison.

Although military instructors are not high-level generals, they are considered middle-level, and the identity of a soldier is very popular in Yanhuang.

Coupled with the generous military pay, Zuo Qiu Sheng and his family lived a pretty good life in Qingzhou City.

On the other hand, the Fu family relied on their original assets to run several shops. The business was not bad, but they had to support several family generals. These family generals had followed his two daughters and came from thousands of miles away to rescue him.

So the family expenses are very high and we live a tight life.

The two daughters have not yet found a husband.

This was because he had rejected Rosen's invitation at the beginning, so everyone assumed that Fu Tianchou was a die-hard fan of the previous dynasty.

Although Rosen doesn't practice collective punishment, everyone is still unwilling to associate with Fu Tianchou.

Naturally, no one was willing to marry into the Fu family.

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi also delayed their marriage because of this.

"Master Fu, do you know that the Lord is going to choose an empress now?"

"Zuo Qiu Sheng, do you think I am the kind of person who sells my daughter for fame and fortune? The Lord of Yanhuang is already seventy years old, older than me, and you want my daughter to be his empress?" Fu Tianchou was furious.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The lord is a cultivator, and his lifespan is far beyond your and my imagination." Zuo Qiusheng said as a matter of course.

He had seen Rosen display his supernatural powers, and according to his understanding, those with great supernatural powers could easily live for hundreds of years, so even though Rosen was older, it was not certain who would live longer than the other.

Besides, although Rosen is old, he has a somewhat immortal look with white hair and a youthful face, and his elegant temperament is not necessarily worse than that of young people.

Besides, Rosen's status and position are there, so there are many girls who are willing to be the empress.

"Master Fu, are you really willing to live in a muddle for the rest of your life?"

Fu Tianchou remained silent. Of course he was unwilling to accept this, but what could he do?

"I'll ask Qingfeng and Yuechi."

"Dad, I do."

At some point, Fu Qingfeng walked in.

"Qingfeng, why are you..."

Fu Qingfeng's eyes were clear; she had heard the conversation between Zuo Qiu Sheng and Fu Tianchou.

In fact, people on the streets are discussing this issue today.

Her unit is also discussing the matter.

Fu Qingfeng had met Rosen twice. One time was when the centipede monster was chasing him and his daughter, and another time was when Rosen happened to enter the Fu family's cloth shop.

At that time, Fu Qingfeng was in the cloth shop. Rosen sat and chatted with her for a long time, from poetry and songs to business philosophy, and from business philosophy to cloth dyeing and future prospects.

It was also the first time that Fu Qingfeng knew that a person could be so knowledgeable.

Of course, Fu Qingfeng would not develop any feelings because of this.

I just felt that Rosen was a very learned man and I had a lot of fun chatting with him.

When she heard that Rosen was going to choose an emperor and queen, her first reaction was that marrying Rosen might not be a bad idea.

"Uncle Zuo, what are the rules for the lord to choose an emperor?"

"As long as the conditions are met, you can hand the name card to Lord Zhuge. Lord Zhuge will screen the name cards of the ladies from various families and then hand them to the master. The master will conduct the final round of screening, and the person selected will be the empress."

“I thought a draft was needed.”

"My lord only plans to choose an empress, but does not plan to expand the harem." Zuo Qiu Sheng said.

Fu Qingfeng's eyes brightened up: "Uncle Zuo, please hand over the business card for my niece."

"Qingfeng, have you thought it through?"

"Of course I've thought about it. My lord is wise and brave, has extraordinary talent, and is approachable. It would be my blessing if I could be chosen." Fu Qingfeng said frankly.

Zuo Qiusheng looked at Fu Tianchou again, and Fu Tianchou nodded slightly: "Since Qingfeng has made a decision, I'll trouble you, Old Zuo."
