Chapter 14: The Harem and the Former Dynasty
Xiao Tianyu's eyes darkened, "Bao Wenbei was beheaded to show the public, just now, Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally supervised the beheading." ”
Xun Lingjun is also the person who knows that the secretary of the Criminal Department is Xiao Hanmo, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”
"Prime Minister, I want to ask you, is the way to be a king to sacrifice innocent people?"
Xun Lingjun shook his head, "No, sacrificing innocent people is the way of the king, and it may be infinite for a while, but this is the way to self-destruction." The way to be a king is actually to conform to the will of heaven, practice benevolence and righteousness, and gather the hearts of the people. ”
"Then why can't Bao Wenbei be pardoned? This looks like it's quite benevolent! ”
"Because Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, the people's hearts are unstable, and Bao Wenbei's life needs to be used to deter the young people in the shadows. Suppose that Your Majesty had been stronger, there would have been no tragedy today. ”
Xiao Tianyu knelt in front of Xun Lingjun, "Prime Minister, I hope you can teach me how to create a prosperous world." ”
Xun Lingjun helped Xiao Tianyu up and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister, for the people, for you, for the ideals of the minister, the minister will do his best to assist you." ”
After going out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Tianyu returned to the palace and worked hard to learn how to be a good emperor, and he didn't fish in troubled waters like before, so he naturally had countless excuses not to go to the harem.
But the father of those concubines was not happy, General Huwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Shang Shuling united with the ministers who were good friends with him, and wrote to Xiao Tianyu together, asking Xiao Tianyu to share some energy to the harem, don't think about reading the excerpts all day long, Xun Lingjun originally wanted to stop the excerpts, but thought that Xiao Tianyu didn't even have a child, and if there was an accident in the future, there would be no heirs, and the country was very dangerous, so he mixed these birth folds into the political folds and gave them to Xiao Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu looked at these folds with black lines on his head, "Come on, come on!" ”
Shen Xingzhou ran in sweating profusely, "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Tianyu pulled those spawned folds into a pile, "Xingzhou, you take these folds to the imperial dining room, and let the imperial chefs burn them when they cook at noon today." ”
Shen Xingzhou beckoned a few eunuchs to come in and move the folds, "A few of you, hurry up and move the folds to the imperial dining room." ”
Xiao Tianyu looked at Shen Xingzhou and stopped, "What's the matter?" If you have something to say, say it. ”
Shen Xingzhou said cautiously: "The regent sent twenty beauties to His Majesty on the grounds that His Majesty has no heirs. ”
Xiao Tianyu was so angry that he directly dropped the teacup, "Beep beep (the author manually silenced the content, the content is not suitable for children), I'm angry." ”
Shen Xingzhou waited until Xiao Tianyu's anger was a little less big before asking, "Your Majesty, we can't tear our faces with the regent yet, what are you going to do with those beauties?" ”
"You go and tell Concubine Ning, I will go to her tonight." Xiao Tianyu came up with a fun idea.
Shen Xingzhou is not good at running the harem casually, even if he is a royal guard, let Gu Yunlong, the chief eunuch, run away.
Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Hui enjoyed (each other) flowers (harm) in the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Hui: "Your Majesty has been busy recently, and he hasn't even come to the harem." ”
Concubine Xian: "What Concubine Hui said is that I heard that Concubine Ning's sister went to ask His Majesty for peace before, and was kicked out by His Majesty, which is really unfortunate." ”
Concubine Hui's eyebrows curled, "Sister Ning Concubine, Your Majesty is still focusing on state affairs, so don't bother Your Majesty all the time." ”
Concubine Xian didn't forget to continue to step on Concubine Ning, "That's right, and the harem can't interfere in politics, although Concubine Ning's sister doesn't have this heart, but she can be seen, and she will inevitably be gossiped, and people who don't know think that General Huwei's tutoring is not strict." ”
Concubine Ning's face darkened, "Two sisters, my sister just went to the imperial study once, and His Majesty personally told his sister at that time that His Majesty was in a bad mood and asked me to go back first, my sister is here to speculate on the holy will, but what is the unsightly purpose!" ”
"You can't say that," Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning live in the same palace, and there are frictions every day, and now that Concubine Ning's feet are caught, they don't hurry up to pursue them.
"See the three mothers." Gu Yunlong appeared.
Shen Xingzhou is the most valued by Xiao Tianyu, and the second is Gu Yunlong, these two people are the objects of the concubines, Shen Xingzhou is upright, and he will not accept bribes, but Gu Yunlong will accept them, but he has high emotional intelligence and knows where Xiao Tianyu's bottom line is, so he can't do too much.
Concubine Ning also ignored the others, "I don't know if Father-in-law Gu came over, is it Your Majesty's intention?" ”
Gu Yunlong is also a human spirit, "Ning Niangniang, Your Majesty wants to go to your palace tonight, please prepare." ”
Concubine Ning smiled, "Thank you, father-in-law, Mei'er." ”
Concubine Ning's personal maidservant Mei'er gave Gu Yunlong a bag of silver, and Gu Yunlong was also happy.
Concubine Ning asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law Gu, has anything happened to Your Majesty recently?" Why didn't His Majesty come to the harem for more than a month before? ”
"Ning Niangniang, this minion doesn't know either, but I guess Shen Guard should know. However, just now I saw that the regent sent twenty beauties to His Majesty, all of them are women from good families, and they are very good-looking. ”
Concubine Ning nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
After Gu Yunlong left, Concubine Ning was also polite, "Two sisters, Your Majesty is here for my sister tonight, my sister is going to go back and clean up, I hope the two sisters can understand my sister." Then, Concubine Ning didn't wait for Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui to say anything, and left directly.
Concubine Xian was angry, "This slut! ”
Concubine Hui "kindly" persuaded: "Concubine Xian, don't you say it, Your Majesty personally promised you that I will come to you next time, what's the matter, Your Majesty forgot?" ”
Concubine Xian brushed her sleeves away.
