Xin Cheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the leader in the opposition. He and Yin Huo risked their lives to oppose, with Xin becoming the most powerful.
Xin Laoshangshu knew very well the benefits that a child in the harem could bring to the family. Last time Xin Yi couldn't bear to reveal so little information, and he just replenished the new army camp's food and grass that had been dropped in previous years. With this slight tendency, the emperor saw
His eyes became kind, and he even asked whether his legitimate son would participate in the palace examination next year. Let's see how big a benefit it is. How can they get along if Su Yongzhong uses it!
Therefore, Xin Shangshu advocated eradicating all men from the emperor's harem and replacing them with women. This way, they can shine on the family lintel and play a role, and no one will lose. In short, he can't stand the men in the family entering the palace, so everyone
If it were a daughter, the chances would be equal.
Xin Cheng is now much more tactful. Although the emperor is a wise king, he obviously does not like his ministers to interfere too much in her decision-making. If she follows the emperor, the benefits will continue, so even though he objects, he will not say it in the morning, he will only
Let's fan Chun Chen, and the effect is already impressive. At least no one except Su Yi is mentioned about the title.
This morning, Yin Huo was scolded by the emperor for the third time. Now sitting in the hall of the Bachelor's Mansion, he sighed helplessly: "Brother Mi, what do you think the emperor is thinking?" He really couldn't understand this man.
The emperor who has never seen through.[
Mi Heze, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was sitting at the bottom, his wrinkled face was also helpless: "I can't figure it out, but I think that Xin Shangshu's analysis is reasonable. If the emperor decides to reward the men in the harem, he will also
I won’t wait until now. I think I will use Su
Yi is spying on our reaction. If we compromise on this, virtuous concubines will emerge one after another. If we strongly object, it is reasonable for the emperor to sacrifice Su Yi to appease us." After all, Su Yi has a bad reputation, and it is necessary to deal with him.
Much simpler.
Yin Huojue was not convinced. Although he did not participate in the palace ministers' calculations, he was also a person who had been in prison: "The emperor did not give us a chance to argue. He obviously didn't want to hear this topic, so how could he test our intentions?
?”
Mi Heze was also puzzled: "But, if this were not the case, why is there only one male concubine in the harem currently awarded?"
Yin Huo was filled with confusion when he thought about this. This was also the opportunity that everyone thought was possible to convince the emperor: "Could it really be a test?" He used Su Yi as a stepping stone, but he always felt that something was wrong...
Mi Heze also had a headache. As veterans, they were derelict in not admonishing them. The admonishment was that they had too many things to do. In short, they were not human beings inside and outside. But they also felt a little ashamed in their hearts. The emperor was busy with important affairs of the country, but they were
They spend all day thinking about impeaching the emperor's harem, which is why they don't have the nerve to speak more to the emperor.
Yin Huo looked at Brother Mi and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind: "By the way, we can find a breakthrough from Sun Qingmu. Qingmu is Mr. Sun's son. The Sun family has been scholarly for generations and has a strict family education. His son abides by etiquette and follows the teachings.
, we can let him withdraw voluntarily, and then use him as an example to persuade the emperor, which will definitely yield better results."
Mi Heze's old face finally showed a glimmer of hope: "What he said is absolutely true, but... Qingmu hasn't spoken much in recent mornings. We can't figure out what he is thinking, and he has been with the emperor for so many years.
It’s not good for him either. Will he be unwilling to say this..."
Yin Huo shook his head with an affirmative look on his face: "Sun Qingmu is not that kind of person. He will choose the decision that is most beneficial to education for the sake of national justice."
Mi Heze nodded in agreement, and they both decided to talk to Sun Qingmu.
Sun Qingmu usually spends this time in the Yamen dealing with memorials. The site of Horse City has been finalized a few days ago, and construction has just begun. The city is close to the junction of the green plain and the Tianhe River. It is blessed with abundant water and grass. After completion, in addition to the horses needed by the country, there will also be It was opened to people in the animal husbandry industry, forming a large Western town centered on breeding.
The door opened with a creak, and the household servant came over with a plate of good nuts: "Sir, Mr. Shen Kusi sent someone to bring you snacks of preserved fruits, so that you can remember to fill your stomach after finishing your work. Mr. Shen Kusi also said , Mr. Shen Fei thanks you for taking care of him, Mr. Shen Kusi is especially grateful to Fentian Jueshen."
Sun Qingmu raised his head. Ben Yingrun's face was a little tired. He glanced at the plump nuts and his expression softened a little: "Can Mr. Shen's servant leave?"
"My lord has already left."
"Well. You send someone to return the gift for me, thank him, and say that I and Mr. Shen have known each other for many years and it is right for them to take care of each other."
"Yes, I'll do it now." He said and walked out.
Sun Qingmunai's wry smile revealed that Mr. Shen could not sit still and began to test, but he really didn't know what the emperor thought. There was no movement after the emperor sealed Su Yi, and the queen had no intention of participating, but she did not drive them out of the palace. Zhao Wen, but presumably the emperor also knew their embarrassing status after leaving the palace and let them live there, but what about the future?
Sun Qingmu couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought about his blind actions. Now that a month has passed, this matter will surely be discovered by the queen soon. What will happen to him by then will be left to fate.
Just as Sun Qingmu was about to continue the official duties at hand, the handyman who had just quit ran back in a hurry: "Sir, Mi Shangshu and Bachelor Yin are here."
Sun Qingmu couldn't help having a headache. He had been expected by these two people to come to him. They wanted him to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of making a male concubine, but... Sun Qingmu had the illusion of being set on fire. Did he see it? Don’t you feel sorry for that position? “Please two adults to the side hall, I will be there immediately.”[
Sun Qingmu put away the memorial and faltered when he stood up suddenly. He had been formulating a development plan for the next ten years these days. He had not had much rest for half a month. He hoped that when he quit the court, Zhou Tian would have a complete administrative plan for the later period.
When Mi Heze and Yin Huo saw Sun Qingmu come in, they stood up and greeted Sun Qingmu without asking. After all, what they wanted to say was not good for each other: "Master Sun, you have worked hard recently."
"Master Sun played an indispensable role in the formation of Junma Caicheng. It can be said that he is very promising at a young age."
Sun Qingmu's face no longer looked tired, and he looked as handsome and elegant as ever: "Thank you, my lords, for thanking you. I am a young official, so I ask you to support me in the future."
Mi, Ze, and Yin Huo smiled at each other, and the scene was over. But what to say next really made the two adults a little embarrassed. Although they were eloquent in the court, they are now the cornerstone of people's survival. , I always feel sorry for this child.
In the end, it was Yin Huo who broke the awkwardness between the three of them: "My nephew, how are you doing these days? I haven't seen you make any proposals in the morning these days. Are you feeling unwell?"
Sun Qingmu would never say anything if the other party didn't mention him. It was against his original intention to listen here: "The emperor makes wise decisions, and the lower officials have nothing to say."
Yin Huo smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "Yes, although the emperor is a new emperor, he is wise and wise and can be called a wise king of our time. Such a king is the blessing of our Yan country and the blessing of the people. In the future, he will be a wise king who will be remembered for generations to come.
As long as the emperor abides by etiquette and has a virtuous concubine like a queen, he will surely be even more virtuous and be praised by the world."
Sun Qingmu nodded slightly when he heard the words, but did not answer. He knew in his heart that they wanted to use him as a breakthrough and gave up being blocked: "Why didn't Xin Shangshu come?" He usually responded positively, but why didn't he come today.
Yin Huo didn't know why Xin Cheng didn't come. He and Mi Shangshu went to see him and wanted to come together, but the concierge said that the master had gone out. Yin Huo couldn't figure out the reason. At this time, he was not staying at the Ministry of Households. Where was he going?
"Maybe there is something going on down there. I wonder what Qingmu thinks of what I said about the monarch taking a concubine?"
Sun Qingmu poured tea for the two adults: "Of course what Academician Yin said is inappropriate. It has been a few months since the emperor ascended the throne, so it will be a matter of course for him to recruit virtuous concubines."
Yin Huo was a little anxious. Did he really not understand or was he pretending not to understand: "It is very important to accept a concubine. We have to clean up the harem... haha, Weiyang Palace cannot be lived in casually. It is inevitable that the emperor will have something to do every day.
I have not considered that we, as ministers, should remind the emperor and share his worries."
Sun Qingmu smelled the fragrance of tea and felt calm: "How are you going to remind me and write a letter? I'm not talented, but I can help you deliver the best clairvoyance."
Yin Huo smiled a little uncomfortable when he heard this. Is Qing Mu mocking himself or making an excuse? Who knows that the emperor does not read memorials related to government affairs. No matter how upright and righteous he writes, the emperor will not even read a word:
"Why don't I tell you what I'm saying, and you can tell it to the Emperor." No one can do anything about it, but he still has a few more years of food than Sun Qingmu.
Sun Qingmu's expression was a bit troubled, and he looked at Yin Huo with a bitter look: "Master Yin, I also want to convey this to you, but you also know that I have been unable to see the emperor for more than a month, and you can't see the emperor all the time.
, where can I convey this? It would be better for Master Yin to choose a suitable time to meet the emperor in person."
Mi Heze's face didn't look good either. Sun Qingmu obviously didn't want to help. Mr. Sun's tutor was surprisingly strict. Sun Qingmu also abided by the old rules in the past. What happened now.
Mi Heze said directly with an unkind expression: "Qingmu, if your uncle Yin has something wrong to say, don't take it to heart, but you can ignore the great justice of the country and the reputation of the royal family. As a minister, you should do the right thing."
You can’t forget it!”
When Yin Huo heard this, he also looked at Sun Qingmu. Mi Heze had already named him, and he believed that Sun Qingmu would know what he should do.
Sun Qingmu's expression was still calm. Don't say that he had no ability to control this matter. Even if he had him, he would not be able to let the queen live with the queen all her life. What would happen to the children in the future? If Zhou Tian were a man, he would risk his life to save Yanguo without saying a word.
A famous person quit directly, but Zhou Tian didn't, right?
"As a minister, I only want to share the emperor's worries. The emperor's current decision-making on important matters of the country has not been wrong. I don't know how a person from the Weiyang Palace can make two people so anxious. Could it be that the two of them are aware of the affairs of the Weiyang Palace?
Than the frozen land and
The food and clothing of the people is more important, or do you feel that the new grains surrendered in the Hexi Valley and Nanshan City are not worthy of the cultivation land arranged by the two ministers in the coming year, or do you think it is not important how we, Yan Country, can have a steady stream of grains to fill the currently sufficient granaries.
If this is the case, the official can say that even though the official knows that the emperor is doing something wrong, everyone knows that it is wrong and just doesn't follow suit. This cannot be used as the reason for the popularity of male favors in the market. Don't you like male favors?
People who can change their outlook on life just because the emperor likes it are too clinging to the crowd. I believe that as long as the ministers in the court understand such a simple truth, the people below will not dare to follow it, otherwise it will be a challenge to the country's authority.
As for the person from Weiyang Palace that the two adults mentioned, even though he has many shortcomings, it is true that he has served the emperor for many years. His handling of the Afterlife Sect this time is also commendable, and he even turned the negative teachings of the Afterlife Sect into motivation to let his son
The people support the monarch more and the soldiers are bloodless
For handling this hidden danger for the court, shouldn't he be rewarded by the emperor? The two adults agreed that he should also stand up and ask the emperor for an idea to destroy the Afterlife Sect, and then ask the emperor how to develop the forbidden religion.
The Guards are what should be done.”[
Sun Qingmu stood up and said: "Two adults, I suddenly thought that I still have something to do, so I will leave first." After saying this, Sun Qingmu respectfully left.
The expressions of Mi Heze and Yin Huo turned ugly.
Mi Heze threw the tea cup to the ground angrily after Sun Qingmu left: "Sure enough, the Sun family raised a good son who is eloquent!"
Yin Huo also felt his face light up. Just now, Sun Qingmu grabbed their painful feet and stepped on them hard, making it clear that they did not let go of small things every day and had not contributed to the prosperity of the country. But he couldn't help but feel lucky that Sun Qingmu was not in the court these days.
Speak up, otherwise after his remarks, the emperor can make male concubines instead of male concubines.
Mi Heze burst out in anger: "I'm going to ask Sun Kangde if this is how he taught his son!"
Yin Huo hurriedly grabbed him and said with shame: "Stop talking, Qingmu didn't refute it in court and we have left a chance for this matter to turn around. If we do well, the emperor will naturally give up the matter of male concubines because of us.
But obviously we didn't do a good job. If Sun Qingmu is angered again at this time, I'm afraid the matter of the male concubine will be a definite fact."
Mi Heze was unconvinced, but he had to say that what Sun Qingmu said made sense. He had seized on their leverage and slandered them to death: "What should we do! Are we going to let those brats lead us by the nose?" He was angry.
Damn him, he was obviously very obedient when he was a child, but as he grows up, he becomes more difficult to get along with.
Yin Huo suddenly said sternly: "Yes, we ask the emperor to recruit beautiful women, so that the new beautiful women who enter the palace will occupy the emperor's sight, and as time goes by, we will crowd out the current male attendants, Yi Kong Weiqing."
Mi Heze's eyes lit up, yes, there are two selections of beautiful women, one is the daughter of an official and two are women from the private sector. In this way, there are thousands if not ten thousand people. The worst that can be done with the two left behind is hundreds. By then, how many of them will be there?
Men standing around hundreds of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls will definitely lose their lust for one after another. Naturally, they will not bother, and the emperor will no longer like them.
…
Su Yi immediately knew that the two old immortals had gone to Sun Qingmu to discuss their affairs, causing him to be frightened throughout the morning, fearing that Sun Qingmu would sacrifice himself to help the two old men.
At this time, Su Yi was wearing the black and red court uniform of a military general. His high waist made him look more energetic and handsome. He asked doubtfully: "Are you really angry?" Sun Qingmu is not that kind of person. He often does things that harm others.
Self-interested things, will you let yourself go so easily this time?
Little Guzi said: "Returning to Master Shu Fei, it's absolutely true. The person who reported back said that the two adults are very popular. I thought, no matter how much Master Qingmu doesn't like to stay in the harem, he still knows how important it is to him. If he leaves, Qingmu will
Mr. Mu will not be easy, so he offended the two adults." They responded to their master's request and always addressed him by his status, even when they were acting as Wuyuan errands.
"No, that's not right." Su Yi didn't think so. Sun Qingmu didn't care about fame. He valued ethics more than himself. But this time he didn't follow those mean ministers to attack him. Could it be that he... Su
Yi was shocked: she didn’t want to leave either.
Seeing his master's expression look bad, Xiao Guzi said in surprise: "Sir Concubine Shu, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yi was furious. Damn it, it seemed that the harem had to have a troublesome person like Sun Qingmu. If Sun Qingmu didn't want to leave, who could drive him away? His mouth was more useful than a ghost when it was supposed to be useful!
Su Yi immediately had a calculation in his heart. He didn't expect Sun Qingmu and the others to say goodbye to him. The current plan was to get Sun Qingmu to cooperate with him to suppress the opposition in the DPRK. Damn it, he would have to give him benefits. At worst, he would be sealed.
The concubine is fine.
Seeing that his master's expression was not softening, Xiao Guzi said cautiously: "Ms. Concubine Shu, the doctor you invited is already waiting at Weiyang Palace. Should you let him go back first?"
"No need. You can go back first when I go back to summon him."
"yes."
He wanted to take advantage of this period of time when no one was trying to compete with him to get the emperor to conceive his child. Who knows who would own the child if a bunch of people would share their favor with him in the future.
Su Yi thought about the fact that the emperor had rested in his palace for two of the last ten days. The rest of the time, he accompanied the queen and went to Princess Qianye in Chun'an Palace the night before. They women couldn't afford to do anything even if they thought about it.
But how can we determine whether the emperor has any heirs?
Su Yi was worried. The medical skills he had seen in the past few days were not suitable for the emperor. He had no idea whether the emperor's menstrual period was accurate. The worst thing was, had the emperor ever had a menstrual period? Su Yiyu asked
God, even if he has monstrous abilities, there is nothing he can do if the emperor doesn't conceive him.
Su Yi felt that this was not good. He had to ask the imperial doctor for some prescriptions to replenish the emperor's health. For this reason, he specially asked his mother to come over at noon, and then asked the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicine in his mother's name, so that he would be safe in case of failure.
No matter how old his mother is, he still prescribes menstrual supplements!
…
Inside Fengyi Palace.
Song Yise was wearing an aqua splendid long dress, the hem of the skirt was swaying on the ground, and the phoenix hairpin on her head was raised high, with twelve tassels in the phoenix's mouth.
It emits colorful light, which is really beautiful.
Yi Se held the royal jade certificate in her slender sworn hands, and suddenly felt a strong feeling in her heart. How could this happen?
These days, her eyes have improved again. Although her vision is still blurry, it has become much clearer. Yisel, who is sensitive to things, can instantly recognize what is filled in the columns of imperial concubine and imperial concubine?
