Chapter 44: The Harem
As soon as Qin Tian was about to leave, Tang Hao, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward and said. Lord Tang, what do you have to do?" Qin Tian asked.
Tang Hao was also a minister left by the emperor, although it happened that Liu Ming and Liu Wei betrayed the interests of the kingdom because of the struggle for power, which made Qin Tian feel unhappy with these old ministers. However, thinking that Liu Yi and Jin Duyi were loyal, Qin Tian still maintained due respect for the old minister.
Your Majesty, you are already seventeen years old this year, and according to the etiquette of the kingdom, you should have a concubine, but before the traitorous minister Gao Yu controlled the government and wanted to eliminate the royal family, so he prevented the establishment of a concubine. Now that His Majesty is back in charge of the government, the minister thinks that His Majesty should now draft a draft and set up a concubine. Tang Hao knelt on the ground and said.
Sun Xiang, the new secretary of the ministry, also took a step forward and said: Your Majesty, at this time, you should not only have concubines, but also three thousand beauties in the harem, and the lord of the harem. Only in this way can the ministers relax in this matter.
Now the royal family of the Yanlong Kingdom is more embarrassed. There is only one person in the royal bloodline in the kingdom, that is the current Qin Tian, and the rest of them have been killed by Gao Yu before, and even Qin Feng's vein was executed by Qin Tian!
The reason why Qin Tian was still alive before was because of his image of waste material in the eyes of everyone, otherwise Gao Yu would have killed him a long time ago. There will also be no matter of Qin Tianzhan who has crossed over now.
This also made many ministers very worried, for fear that Qin Tian would have some accident when he set out on an expedition in the future, so that the royal family would have no queen, and the prosperous era that the Yanlong Kingdom was about to present now would all come to naught.
Therefore, these ministers could not sit still and brought up this matter today. After the new two Shangshu stood up, many courtiers also stood up, and Xiao He also stood up. In Xiao He's opinion, now His Majesty should also have three thousand beauties in the harem, and only in this way can everyone feel at ease.
Qin Tian nodded secretly, yes, yes, these courtiers didn't know that I wanted to make Gui Ying a concubine, so now they came out to propose a draft to establish a concubine, and they just took this opportunity to say it.
When he wanted to announce it, Tang Hao said at this time: Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty's concubine and queen must be virtuous and wise people, and they should be beautiful for everyone.
Qin Tian suddenly frowned slightly, Tang Hao's words were completely to exclude Mu Guiying from the concubine. Because Mu Guiying herself is a female general, if you really want to talk about virtue and virtue, how can she have Mu Guiying's position, not to mention that Mu Guiying is the daughter of a merchant, and the ministers who have looked down on businessmen since ancient times will definitely not agree to make Guiying a concubine! But in Qin Tian's heart, Mu Guiying must be among them for the position of a concubine.
But as the emperor, he was indeed able to forcibly make Mu Guiying the imperial concubine, but he had to consider the royal majesty, which was easy for people to seize the handle and attack the royal majesty. Looks like I'm going to have to make a big change for Gui Ying!
After having a plan in his heart, Qin Tian smiled and said: What a few Aiqing said is very true, but my position is not something that can be taken by a person casually. The three thousand beauties of my harem can't be one of them just by coming casually, so this matter must be carefully considered.
Therefore, I don't want to talk about this matter today, and I will come to talk about it until you have a plan. If Mu Guiying wants to change greatly, Qin Tian naturally needs some time, anyway, he is the emperor, drag this matter down, and if we talk about it later, these ministers can't say anything.
All the courtiers immediately responded, and then they were all thinking in their hearts about sending their daughters to participate in the draft. Long live our emperor, long live, long live! The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted. Qin Tianzai soon left the Ming and Qing Palaces. Before, he planned to accompany Mu Guiying first, but now he had to think about the previous things and went directly to the imperial study.
Yu Rang, let Tingtianwei inform Xiao He and let him come to the imperial study. Qin Tian sat on the dragon chair and said lightly. Yes, Your Majesty! Yu Rang answered, and immediately went down and sent someone to inform Xiao He. It didn't take long for Xiao He to arrive. Minister Xiao He, please meet Your Majesty. Xiao He knelt on the ground and said, Xiao Aiqing flattened down, Qin Tian said, Your Majesty, Xiao He stood up and said!
Qin Tian looked at Xiao He and said with a smile: Xiao Aiqing, guess what, what is the matter with me? Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being stupid, and the ministers can't guess. Xiao He thought for a while and said. It's not that you can't guess, but you don't dare to say it. Qin Tian looked at Xiao He, shook his head, and said, "You just don't want to get involved in the snobbery of the harem, right?
Since ancient times, all courtiers who are involved in the disputes of the emperor's harem and serve as backers for the harem concubines have only two ends. The first is to become a relative and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition. But the premise of this situation is that the emperor is incompetent, otherwise it is impossible to let his relatives hold power. The second situation is quite miserable, if something is wrong, it will be the fate of the Zhulian Nine Clans.
Xiao He is a smart person, so naturally he doesn't want to be involved in the deep water of the harem. He just wanted to assist Qin Tian in dealing with the government, and he didn't want to talk about the harem dispute. It is precisely for this reason that Xiao He agreed to choose a concubine before, but when Tang Hao said that he wanted to choose a virtuous person as the queen, he did not agree or express any opinions.
Qin Tian looked at Xiao He and said with a smile: Xiao Aiqing, it's true that you don't want to mix this matter. To be honest, I don't want to see the court unstable due to the affairs of the harem, and I already have a suitable candidate in mind for the position of queen, but I can't say it when the time is not ripe.
I now want to make Mu Guiying a concubine, but Mu Guiying's status as a military general and the daughter of a merchant may attract the opposition of many ministers. Therefore, I want you to choose the right person to train Mu Guiying in her free time, so that she can try to make a big change!
In addition, send someone to inform several legion commanders to complete the formation of the army's legions as soon as possible, and let Han Xin and Zhang Liang return to Hanyu Pass as soon as possible to resist the possible attack of the Xingyue Dynasty, and I will allow them to act cheaply! You go down and inform a few generals and prepare to select the person who will train Mu Guiying! Qin Tian said to Xiao He.
Yes, the minister will definitely complete the task assigned to the minister by His Majesty! The minister will retire! Xiao He turned around and left after speaking!
