An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1274 Grand Tutor

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.

"I think what you said is true. I have just ascended the throne, there are a lot of internal strife and

external strife, and the people are still in deep distress. It's really not a good time to hold a selection. "

"In the short term, please don't mention it again."

After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he looked at Tan Qian and said, "I think Official Tan has a long-

term view and he really thinks for the country and for the people of the State of Xia. In my opinion,

many elders in the court don't have such opinions."

"Well, I'm looking for a grand tutor for the crown prince. From what Official Tan said just now, I think that

he can teach the crown prince well and make him a future emperor for the country and the people. So I

want to appoint him as the grand tutor of the crown prince. What do you think?"

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled. He had spoken highly of him, how could anyone dare to say Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

no?

Sure enough, no one came out to object for a long time.

Luo Qingyan nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, I'll appoint Official Tan as the grand tutor. From

tomorrow on, go to East Palace to teach the crown prince every day."

"Thank you, your majesty. Long live your majesty."

"Well, if you don't have anything else, you can leave now."

All the officials in the court immediately knelt down and said, "See you off, your majesty."

Luo Qingyan stood up and walked towards the back hall.

When he was sitting there, he sensed that someone was standing at the position of the passageway,

and he guessed that it was Yun Shang. When he saw Yun Shang, he was not surprised, but reached

out his hand to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled. She put her hand in Luo Qingyan's and went to Taiji Palace

with him.

"Why are you here so early? Is there anything important? "

Yun Shang shook her head and said, "I heard from you last night that you would ask Tan Qian to help

you fight against all the officials in the court this morning. I'm curious, so I come here."

"Have you heard everything?"

"Yes." Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "When your majesty told me his stories, I always felt that he

might not be reliable although he was interesting. But now I really admire him. "

"I'm relieved to have him teach Chengye." Yun Shang then asked, "Did you tell him that someone

would advise you to hold a selection yesterday?"

Luo Qingyan shook his head with a smile, "No, I just told him that some officials always mention

something I don't like, but I don't know how to refuse. I asked him to find a way to help me out in the

court this morning. I didn't mention anything about the selection. "

Yun Shang nodded and said, "Then he is also good at observing. You didn't show any unhappiness

when Official Liu spoke just now, but he reacted quickly and stood out spontaneously. And he has a

good adaptability as he could deal with it in such a short time. "

"Yes." Luo Qingyan glanced at Yun Shang and said, "You even praised him more than I did."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled. After a long time, she said, "That's all your credit. If your

majesty hadn't discovered him, he wouldn't even have a chance to stand in the court."

Liu Wenan came in with a stack of memorial in his arms. He bowed to Yun Shang and put the

memorials on the imperial case.

Yun Shang pulled her hand out of Luo Qingyan's hand and said, "I'm going out to see Qian Yin and her

child. I won't disturb your majesty in dealing with political affairs."

Luo Qingyan smiled and watched her leave. Then he sat down behind the imperial case.
