As soon as Qin Xinglie said this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Gu Zhao.

The new king has not yet ascended the throne and has too many important things to do, but the first important thing he officially announced is to prepare for his marriage to Gu Zhao.

How could anyone in the civil and military field who was not a smart person not understand that this was Qin Xinglie's way of announcing to the world that he valued Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao stood at the edge of the main hall, being stared at by so many people. Even though she had seen many big scenes, the tips of her ears could not help but turn red at this moment.

Regarding the marriage between Qin Xinglie and Gu Zhao, grandmother He Zheng has been worried about two things. One is the existence of Yuan Zhimei, the snake and scorpion mother, and the other is whether Qin Xinglie will marry a concubine or other woman.

There is ethical support behind both of these, and no woman can compete with them.

No matter how powerful and powerful Gu Zhao was, without Qin Xinglie's firm protection, he would have suffered greatly in the face of filial piety and the tradition of three wives and four concubines.

This is also the reason why He Zheng went against the norm and kept showing off his strength in front of Qin Xinglie.

And Qin Xinglie's performance these days is enough to prove that he has not let down Gu Zhao's affection.

He firmly rejected Dong Xinian and severed ties with Yuan Zhimei. Now he used his actions to show his respect for Gu Zhao in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Besides, I am here to say ugly things first." Qin Xinglie's eyes were like a falcon, staring at the officials below.

Now that these people had already kowtowed and acknowledged his status as the prince from Emperor Wu, he would not refuse and directly began to lecture in the tone of the prince.

"Gu and A-Zhao share life and death, and their bond is extraordinary. In this life, Gu only has one wife, A-Zhao! Regarding this matter, Gu is not prepared to discuss it with anyone, and please don't waste your time on this kind of Gu's family affairs.

superior."

All the civil and military officials in the hall couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Some of them couldn't help but began to look at Qin Xinglie secretly, trying to see if his expression was serious.

Even ordinary petty officials have three wives and four concubines. Which emperor would have only one woman?

They are all men, and they all know the nature of men. As long as there are conditions, which man would not want more beautiful women? Let alone the most noble emperor in the world.

Mr. Dong Ge hesitated for a moment, remembering Qin Xinglie's multiple rejections of his marriage proposal before, and remembering the threats hidden in the words of He Zheng's subordinates before, but he still did not say those objections.

But this time, Mr. Chu Ge, who had achieved great success by producing the real edict of Emperor Wu, stood there without raising his head. He seemed not to realize that there was anything wrong with Qin Xinglie's words.

Mr. Xin Ge opened his mouth, but found that Mr. Dong Ge did not move, so he remained silent.

Mr. Meng Ge was already frightened. He had not forgotten the difficulties he had made to Gu Zhao before.

He is full of fear now. He only hopes that Master Qin Xinglie and Gu Zhao will be more generous, forget the previous unhappiness, and not hold him accountable for conspiring with Mr. Liu Ge. How can he dare to jump out and attract the attention of Qin Xinglie and Gu Zhao?

For a moment, the four cabinet ministers were all silent, and those officials who had any intention to object also remained silent.

But some people still jumped out, namely those censors whose main job was to give advice.

"Your Highness, you must not do this!" The censor, who was in his forties, walked out of the procession with an angry look on his face, "Your Highness's status means that family affairs are also state affairs!"

"Since ancient times... Balabala... Emperor Wu is wise and wise... Balabala... Your Highness is so heroic and mighty, how can you indulge in personal affairs between men and women and ignore the laws of your ancestors... Balabala..."

Seeing that Qin Xinglie did not get angry immediately, several middle-ranking officials who were watching also came out to express their support for the censor's opinion and objected to Qin Xinglie only marrying Gu Zhao and not other concubines.

Qin Xinglie's face became darker and darker, "Shut up!"

"It seems that you think being alone is easy to bully. Do you want to give me some rules?"

"Gu already said just now that this matter is not a discussion, but Gu's will! Did you completely turn a deaf ear to Gu's words?"

"Are you still thinking that if Gu doesn't know how to be an emperor, you should first set the rules for Gu, and if you don't agree with anything in the future, even if Gu becomes emperor, he still won't be able to implement them?"

Qin Xinglie sneered, "Since you want to test Gu's bottom line, I'll let you see where Gu's bottom line is!"

Having said this, Qin Xinglie raised his hand and said, "Come here, send these adults out! The official uniforms have been taken off!"

"There is no need for deaf people in a lonely court!"

The officials nearby all had their eyes twinkling and their faces became serious.

Gu Zhao also sneered in his heart.

She had had many dealings with these officials in her previous life. At the beginning, she had no experience. She just thought that the high-sounding words said by these officials were true, and was fooled by them.

Later she discovered that this was not the case at all. All officials seemed to have the ability to hide their true despicable intentions under sanctimonious words.

Just like those officials who talk about being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in fact, most of them have never done anything related to loyalty to the emperor and patriotism secretly.

The censors just now seemed to be opposing Qin Xinglie's decision not to accept concubines, but Gu Zhao alone was actually the first confrontation between officials and the prince. We wanted to test it out and see how this tyrannical and cruel Li was.

What kind of monarch will the king be when he becomes emperor?

If Qin Xinglie is good at fighting and killing people, but is not good at running the court, cannot argue with them, and has to give in, then more officials will use a similar method to take away the corresponding power bit by bit from Qin Xinglie's hands.

This is the imperial court. The emperor and officials are not really born in the same camp. There is always an invisible battle between them.

Otherwise, why would Mr. Dong Ge want to support an incompetent prince like Qin Youjin? Isn't it because of this that a lot of power will fall into their hands?

What Gu Zhao didn't expect was that Qin Xinglie would be so transparent and direct, seeing through their tactics at a glance, and dismissed them both on the spot.
