Chapter 346: Offering Incense at Nuwa Palace?

The news that the Human Emperor was going to select concubines quickly spread in Zhaoge, and the people inquired about the qualifications for selecting concubines one after another.

If possible, they also hoped that their own women could be selected.

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites officially issued a public document.

This document was divided into two parts: one was to order the various prefectures and counties in the country to select show girls.

Each county must select five show girls, who must have a clean family background, be talented and beautiful, and then gather in each prefecture, be uniformly sent to Zhaoge for training and screening, and finally be named by Yin Qi.

For those who were not selected, the imperial court would provide a subsidy of one hundred taels of silver.

The other public document was to notify the eight hundred vassals, who also had to send five show girls to Zhaoge.

As for how to select show girls, how to train and screen them, etc., the Ministry of Rites had detailed regulations, one link after another, and it would take at least half a year to walk in front of Yin Qi.

The cost involved was simply unknown.

The daily expenses of over one hundred thousand show girls were a mountain of grain and vegetables every day.

However, the Great Shang was wealthy, so these expenses were actually not much.

"Finally here!"

Seeing the public document issued by the imperial court, Xiao Yanzhi could not help but smile beautifully.

With her cultivation and racial talent, inducing Chen Xu to take the lead in submitting a memorial was completely unconscious and reasonable, and no one would be suspicious.

In these three years, she had not been idle.

She first used magic to tamper with the memories of everyone in a small town, becoming the daughter of a small noble baron in the town, and then often went out to play, very quickly becoming famous in the county, and even the prefecture.

To shape her persona, what made her famous in the prefecture was not just her beauty, but also her proficiency in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which could be said to be talented and beautiful.

In these three years, I don't know how many people came to propose marriage, and the threshold of her house was almost stepped flat.

Xiqi.

Western Earl Mansion.

Ji Chang held the public document and said: "Everyone, speak your minds. How should we handle the Great King's selection of concubines this time?"

Select, that must be selected.

The Human Emperor selecting concubines is a major event, and they did not dare to disobey the order.

Although they could not disobey the order, they could also deal with it perfunctorily, just sending five young girls to Zhaoge at random.

Of course, they could also go all out and pick beautiful women to go.

Compared to the Great Shang, Xiqi was also full of talent, with four sages and eight steeds.

Ji Chang's ninety-nine sons also had many who were talented in both civil and martial arts.

San Yisheng said sternly: "Select, carefully select. The current Great Shang is no longer the Great Shang of the past. Although the Marquis's daughter is the Empress, there are no offspring to this day, which is unfavorable to our Xiqi.

This minister believes that we should select five more from the clan to enter the palace.

If they can give birth to a prince first, they can be handed over to the Empress to raise, and with our assistance, they will definitely become the Human Emperor.

In the future, it is possible that the Great Shang's artifact refining technique will be passed on to us."

Thanks to the teleportation array, the various vassals now have very close contact with the Great Shang, and Ji Chang has over fifty sons who have entered the Yin Shang Martial Academy and Academy, often writing letters to tell them about things in Zhaoge.

Although Ji Chang is generous, he has always kept the hatred of his father's death in his heart, so he is most concerned about the changes in the Great Shang.

The drastic changes in the Great Shang in these three years made them certain that the Great Shang had mastered some kind of artifact refining technique, otherwise it would be impossible to build teleportation arrays and transport spaceships on a large scale, and the key was that these teleportation arrays and transport spaceships were actually standard.

One must know that even for an artifact refiner, the two spirit swords refined would have different styles.

In this era, there is no concept of standardization.

It's just a pity that the artifact refining base is heavily guarded, and they cannot infiltrate it.

Nangong Kuo, Xin Jia, Xin Mian, Tai Dian, and others all nodded one after another. They felt very powerless in their hearts, knowing that while Yin Qi was on the throne, they had no chance to make a comeback and could only continue to wait for the opportunity.

A ten-generation hatred can still be avenged.

Ji Chang nodded, his face calm, and said: "In that case, let's select five from the clan to go to Zhaoge. At the same time, send someone to send a generous congratulatory gift."

Jizhou.

Su Hu is also one of the Nine Provinces Marquises.

In the original work, Su Hu could rebel against the Shang, so naturally he could not be without foundation.

If it were other small vassals, who would dare to rebel?

Unlike the original work, after receiving the public document from the imperial court, Su Hu was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Haha, the Great King is finally selecting concubines. My daughter Daji is beautiful and stunning, enough to topple a country, so she should enter the palace as a concubine."

Now the Great Shang's national power is flourishing, and changes are happening every day. Many good things make him drool just looking at them.

For example, transport spaceships.

Except for Xiqi and Qingzhou, which had the qualifications to buy a few transport spaceships, other vassals could not ask for them.

And teleportation arrays, Xiqi and Qingzhou enjoyed a 30% discount.

But for these vassals, there was no discount at all.

It is said that Zhou Ji and Feng Yanran send various good things home every year; I don't know how many people are drooling.

Now the opportunity is right in front of him, so he naturally cannot miss it.

Not to mention that Di Qi is ambitious and benevolent, so Daji entering the palace can be considered a good destination.

With him, a Nine Provinces Marquis, as a backer, Di Qi could not treat Daji badly.

Except for Yuan Futong, all the vassals received the public document and were all excited. Those with daughters of appropriate age directly chose their own daughters.

Those without daughters of appropriate age looked for them in the clan.

Zhaoge.

Shang Mansion.

Shang Rong was shocked, looking at Shang Qingjun and saying: "What, you want to participate in the selection of concubines?"

Shang Qingjun said firmly: "Please father, fulfill my wish."

Shang Rong seemed to suddenly realize: "No wonder, no wonder, no wonder I have been choosing a husband for you all these years, and you have refused so decisively; it turns out you have long wanted to enter the palace, right?"

With Shang Qingjun's intelligence, it was impossible for her not to guess that Yin Qi would select concubines.

The Human Emperor's harem has only three people; what kind of system is that?

Shang Qingjun's face flushed slightly, but she still said seriously: "The Great King's virtue is comparable to the Three Sovereigns, and he is also ambitious. May I ask in this world, which woman does not admire him in her heart? I am also an ordinary person, so it is normal to admire the Great King."

Shang Rong frowned, and after a long time, he sighed: "Forget it, let it be as you wish."

He also knew that Yin Qi was good, but the other party was the Human Emperor, and he did not want his daughter to go and fight for favor with so many women.

But he also knew Shang Qingjun's personality, gentle on the outside but firm on the inside; once she decided on something, she basically would not change it.

Shang Qingjun said happily: "Thank you, father."

The selection of show girls was in full swing, but it did not affect Yin Qi.

He was still busy every day, military reform, establishing the banking system, arranging for the slaves who had regained their status, etc.

Especially establishing the banking system, in order to realize informatization, he consumed ten zhang of fortune and asked the fortune altar to refine a "data processor," an immortal artifact grade, which could realize data transmission without delay within one billion li.

As for the local banks, they did not need a "data processor," as long as they could remotely connect to this immortal artifact.

Time flew by, and it was soon March.

The first day, Grand Court Meeting.

Chief Assistant Shang Rong submitted a memorial: "Great King, March 15th is the birthday of Nuwa Niangniang, please go to Nuwa Palace to pay respects."

"Offering incense at Nuwa Palace!"

Yin Qi instinctively felt a thud in his heart, and his body tightened.

He asked indifferently: "Chief Assistant, since I can remember, the former emperor has never gone to Nuwa Palace to pay respects; why did you suddenly have this proposal?"

He could not help but raise his vigilance, because this was the beginning of the Fengshen plot.

But in the original work, it was clearly the seventh year of King Zhou. ===== CHAPTER 347 =====
