In fact, neither Guo Jia nor Xun Yu, nor Xi Zhicai nor Xu Shu expected that Liu Feng would agree to choose a concubine so readily.

After all, Liu Feng has a very deep relationship with the Dragon Queen Liu Xin, the wise concubine Cai Yan, the charming concubine Diao Chan, and the wolf concubine Lu Lingqi. Since Liu Feng unified the world, in addition to daily handling of government affairs, he will stay with them whenever he has time.

Moreover, the queen and the three concubines also had a very harmonious relationship because of Liu Feng's equal exposure to rain and dew, and there was never any jealousy, just like real sisters.

So they all thought that Liu Feng would refuse to choose a concubine again in order not to break this balanced and harmonious relationship, or even out of his feelings for the mistresses.

For this reason, the four of them discussed until midnight yesterday, just to be able to persuade Liu Feng for different reasons when he refused, and they simply slept for half an hour until dawn.

As a result, the countermeasures they discussed all night were of no use at all. Liu Feng agreed without the slightest hesitation, so that the four of them jointly proposed the selection of a concubine, but Xu Shu, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai did not even have a chance to speak.

Despite this, Liu Feng was able to agree so readily without any hassle, which was enough to make Xun Yu and the others happy.

In fact, when Guo Jia mentioned the choice of concubine, all the officials below were excited.

Because they are really worried about the future of the Dragon Kingdom. After all, the main reason why the Han Dynasty is gradually weakening is that foreign relatives and eunuchs are in power.

The reason why relatives and eunuchs were able to control the power of the court was precisely because the emperor was too young when he came to the throne and had to need others to help him govern.

In this case, the eunuch and the Queen Mother's family were the only options.

Since the resurgence of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, there have been a total of fourteen emperors. From the time when the fourth Hanhe Emperor Liu Zhao came to the throne at the age of ten until Emperor Xian Liu Xie was killed by Li Ru, no one was over fifteen years old when he came to the throne..

Among them, Han Shang Emperor Liu Long became emperor when he was just one month old. He fell ill and died in eight months, becoming the youngest emperor in history.

The reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty was rich in so-called"son emperors" was because their previous emperor died too early. Starting from the death of Han Zhang Emperor Liu Jin at the age of thirty-one, every subsequent emperor died under the age of thirty-five.

Because they died too early, their sons had to succeed to the throne at a young age, and their young succession led to their relatives taking power, causing the dynasty to decay, forming a vicious cycle.

Therefore, all the officials of the Dragon Kingdom were afraid that if Liu Fenggang remained childless, he might have a son in the future and the prince would succeed to the throne at a young age, repeating the old path of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because of this, they have to worry.

Even not only Guo Jia and others, but also Zhou Yu, Chen Gong, and Jia Xu, who were not Liu Feng's direct descendants, were also prepared to persuade Liu Feng if he refused to choose a concubine after Guo Jia's advice.

Fortunately, Liu Feng still had a certain understanding of this era, so he agreed directly.

Subsequently, the edict for selecting the concubine was announced to the world, and all young women who thought they had the ability to become the Dragon Emperor's concubine actively signed up to participate.

Among them, Zhen Yi, the Minister of Commerce, was even more excited.

He wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Feng as early as when Liu Feng was still the king of Liaodong. He even specially asked his eldest daughter Zhen Jiang to stay in Longcheng and serve as the person in charge of the Zhen family's business department in Longcheng. The purpose was to let her marry Liu Feng. Fengduo contacts.

However, because Liu Feng has been busy with the war and Zhen Yi did not have a good opportunity to raise the matter, the two parties never had the opportunity to marry.

Now that Liu Feng decided to choose a concubine, Zhen Yi immediately signed up all four of his daughters.

Finally, after two months of preparation, the Dragon Kingdom's first concubine draft was held grandly in the capital, Luoyang.

In addition to the Dragon Emperor Liu Feng, the concubines were selected by the Dragon Queen Liu Xin, the virtuous concubine Cai Yan and her father Cai Yong, the charming concubine Diao Chan, and the wolf concubine Lu Lingqi, a total of six people.

As the current good match for the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Queen and the three Dragon Concubines have the obligation to choose concubines for the Dragon Emperor. As Liu Feng's elder and a great scholar of the time, Cai Yong mainly examines the candidates' virtues and ensures the stability of the harem.

In the end, after two days of selection, a total of seven concubines were selected, namely Xiao Qiao from Jiangnan, Mi Huan from the Mi family in Xuzhou, and the four daughters of Zhen Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

Later, Liu Feng named Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao the twin concubines of the world, and named Mi Huan and the four sisters of the Zhen family beauties.

After the draft, Liu Feng chose an auspicious day to marry the seven beauties into the harem. On that day, the entire fourteen states of the Dragon Kingdom celebrated with great excitement.

Another month later, Liu Feng felt that although the Dragon Kingdom had unified the world, there was still a relative lack of talents in various departments in the country, and many of the famous ministers and generals he knew in his previous life were not serving under him.

So after the morning court ended one day, Liu Feng kept six super counselors: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Zhou Yu, Jia Xu and Xu Shu.

Later, Liu Feng first said:"Everyone, you are my most important ministers. When there is war, I need your advice. Now that the world is peaceful, I need you to work hard for the development of the Dragon Kingdom.

In this regard, I deeply feel that you have worked hard for the stability of the Dragon Kingdom, and I am both happy and guilty in my heart.

I am happy that you are loyal to me, but I feel guilty that I have made you work so hard and hurt your body.

Therefore, I have decided to organize a nationwide An election will be held to select all talents from various places. The scribes can serve as your deputies to help you share the pressure, and the generals can also guard the border for me." After

Liu Feng finished speaking, the six of them looked at each other, and then Xun Yu said:" Your Majesty's idea is very good. There are indeed many talented people living in the wilderness and hiding in the mountains.

As the right prime minister, I am responsible for domestic government affairs and the responsibility of selecting talents. When I return, I will immediately issue an order to the states to appoint a state pastor. Elect Xiaolian."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Liu Feng interrupted:"If Wen Ruo waits a moment, I actually have some different ideas about selecting talents. In the past, the election of Xiaolian relied purely on the performance of various states, prefectures, pastors, and governors. Recommendation will inevitably make many talented people, especially those from poor families, unable to serve the country.

Therefore, I decided to reform the system of talent selection, cancel the recommendation system and the recruitment system, and replace them all with imperial examinations."

After hearing this, Xun Yu asked doubtfully :"Your Majesty, what is the imperial examination?"

Liu Feng replied:"The imperial examination is divided into the imperial examination. Regardless of the family or the poor, anyone who wants to become an official can take the exam. The results will be given by professionals. Those with excellent results can become officials. And the better the performance, the greater the official position."
