Chapter 66: The Emperor Doesn't Accept Concubines

This day was the fifth day after Murong Cheng'an ascended the throne.

In just five days, it was enough for Murong Cheng'an to establish the majesty and momentum of the new emperor, and now the hundred officials are already a hundred reverence and obedience to the new emperor.

However, no matter what kind of group you are in, there will always be a few thorns who always like to do something speechless.

For example, the prime minister.

All the people in the party of the former queen were basically subjected to varying degrees of conspiracy.

Murong Cheng'an did not punish those comrades of the former queen because of his personal grievances with the empress of the previous dynasty, but because those people did lack the ability to work hard, and all along, they only relied on the big tree of the Ye family to show off their power in the court.

Murong Chengan cherishes his talents very much, and at the same time, he also hates these obscene villains who cling to power. Therefore, in a very short period of time, the henchmen of the empress of the previous dynasty were completely cleared by Murong Cheng.

Only, the Prime Minister's Mansion is an exception.

The prime minister is still the prime minister, and Ye Zhuangfei, the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was not implicated, but was promoted to the new general!

In the treatment of Ye Zhuangfei, Murong Chengan was completely based on the affirmation of Ye Zhuangfei's character and talent.

In the past, Ye Zhuangfei had been training in the military camp, and his personality and ability to use troops were seen by General Lin. At the same time, Ye Zhuangfei also has a very good reputation in the military camp, and all the soldiers praised him.

Murong Chengan was also very satisfied with Ye Zhuangfei's upright character, so he promoted Ye Zhuangfei.

Murong Cheng'an's principle of employing people on the basis of merit won the approval of most ministers in the DPRK and China.

The prime minister had no time to think about Murong Cheng'an's thoughts, he only cared about the successor of the prime minister's mansion.

The heart of the people is not enough to swallow the elephant, the more the prime minister gets, the more he desires, and he also wants to have the strength to call the wind and rain in the court like the previous dynasty. And Ye Yuzhu has become a very important chess piece for the prime minister.

"The old minister has something to play."

"Say."

Facing Murong Cheng'an's cold look, the prime minister shrank a little. However, recently, the government has been in a hurry, and the prime minister himself is also in a hurry, so he had to ask the emperor hard.

In today's Prime Minister's Mansion, the most urgent thing is the marriage contract between Ye Yuzhu and King Yuan'an.

Originally, because Ye Yuxiang was accused of marrying Murong Lang, the prime minister's wife was already dead to the realization of glory and wealth through her daughter's marriage. Unexpectedly, one night passed, King An succeeded to the throne, Murong Lang died tragically, Ye Yuxiang followed Murong Lang, and this Ye Yuzhu became the daughter who was most promising to bring glory and wealth to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Now that the queen is missing and the harem is empty, the prime minister's wife can't wait to send Ye Yuzhu to the palace immediately! It's best to conceive a royal heir right away!

In the past few days, Ye Yuzhu has also felt the extreme joy of fluttering immortals, and has kept fantasizing about the beautiful scene of becoming the emperor's concubine. She won the bet! Coupled with the disappearance of the queen, Ye Yuzhu felt even more that her opportunity had come! As long as she can enter the palace smoothly, she will definitely accept the emperor's heart as soon as possible.

Although Murong Chengan had already given the prime minister an answer to Ye Yuzhu's matter on the day he ascended the throne, the answer at that time was very ambiguous after all, and the prime minister's family was anxious......

"I don't know what the emperor's physical condition is? Are there any signs of awakening? ”

Cheng's concern for the Emperor is true, after all, the marriage contract made by the Emperor Taishang, he must not regret it.

"The emperor's physical condition has improved, and the imperial doctor said that the emperor will wake up soon. The prime minister cares so much about the emperor, which is really a blessing for heaven and the country. When the Emperor awakens, I will definitely tell the Emperor the truth. ”

"The emperor praised falsely, and the old minister just did his duty. Belch...... This ......"

"If the prime minister has nothing else important, he will retire today."

Murong Cheng'an naturally knew that the prime minister was hesitant to say something.

After going down to the court yesterday, Murong Cheng'an had already called the prime minister to the imperial study alone and asked the prime minister about Ye Lingxi's life experience. But instead of giving any valuable information, the prime minister, the old fritter, played Tai Chi and turned the topic around the marriage contract between Ye Yuzhu and King Yuan'an.

Murong Chengan excused himself for lack and sent the prime minister away. Unexpectedly, today's prime minister wanted to mention the marriage contract between Ye Yuzhu and King Yuan An in the court.

The mystery of Ye Lingxi's life experience has not yet been solved, and Murong Chengan doesn't want to tear his face with the prime minister, so he wants to continue to drag out Ye Yuzhu's matter.

However, the prime minister was in hot pursuit.

"The old minister has one more thing to do! The emperor, the youngest daughter Ye Yuzhu, was once assigned to the emperor by the emperor. Now the little girl has reached the age where she should get married. I also hope that the emperor will allow the little girl to enter the palace as soon as possible to serve the emperor, and open up branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible. ”

When it comes to the issue of "opening up branches for the royal family", there will always be some ministers who like to worry about the royal heirs to jump out to reconsider.

"The minister reconsidered. Your Majesty, the annual draft is coming soon, so the emperor might as well take this opportunity to fill the harem. Now the queen's whereabouts are unknown, and the harem is empty, which is contrary to the norm. ”

"Your Majesty, state affairs are important, but it is equally important to spread the branches for the royal family, and the emperor must not ignore the latter!"

Several ministers who loved to control the emperor's concubines followed the prime minister's words and began to point fingers at Murong Chengan.

Most of the ministers felt the lower and lower air pressure in the palace hall, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Murong Cheng'an's eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Hmph, the prime minister is too anxious. Now that the whereabouts of the queen are unknown, I have a deep relationship with the queen, and I once promised the queen that I will be a couple with the queen for the rest of my life, so I will not accept a concubine. In order to compensate, I can recognize the prime minister's second daughter as my sister-in-law and be named Princess Zhu. I will also prepare a rich dowry for Princess Zhu, and promise to let her marry in style! ”

Murong Cheng'an, where is the person who will be threatened by a few ministers! Since the prime minister is so uninteresting, he has no choice but to have a showdown with him. As for Ye Lingxi's life experience, Murong Chengan will definitely find a way to find out from other ways, and he will not miss the slightest clue from his prime minister!

However, the emperor of a country announced in public that there was only one queen in the harem, which was enough to set off a storm, especially the current situation of Tianhe Kingdom was still unknown to the queen.

Xiao Luozi beside Murong Chengan was also shocked. Previously, when Murong Chengan seized the throne, Xiao Luozi, as the emperor's precision hole card, had made indelible contributions. Therefore, Murong Cheng'an has now promoted Xiao Luozi to the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, mainly responsible for the transmission of the holy decree and taking care of the emperor.

Xiao Luozi had been in and out of King An's Mansion several times to report things, so he had seen Ye Lingxi a few times. It is indeed a rare beauty...... However, it is really her creation to make the emperor of a country the only one!

However, the prime minister's expression ...... That's not right!

Xiao Luozi has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been cultivated like a human spirit, if he wants to survive in this palace and observe words and feelings, it is an indispensable skill.

The former fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is now so cherished by the emperor, what a great honor! The prime minister's expression should be surprised...... But Xiao Luozi looked at the prime minister's expression, and he was clearly as aggrieved as eating a fly.

Some of the ministers present who were relatively close to the prime minister also noticed the strangeness of the prime minister's expression.

Only the prime minister and Murong Cheng knew in their hearts that the reason why the prime minister was like this.

After yesterday's morning, Murong Chengan called the prime minister to the imperial study alone, and drove all his subordinates out.

"Prime Minister, I have something I want to ask you. As long as you answer truthfully, I will not hold you accountable for the crime of deceit. ”

As soon as Murong Cheng's words came out, the prime minister immediately knelt down.

"The emperor is serious! How dare the old minister commit the crime of defrauding the king? Even if you give the minister a few dares, the minister won't dare! ”

The prime minister said it with emotion, and those who didn't know thought he was really wronged.

"I don't have time to go around the bend with you! I ask you, who is the Queen's biological father? ”

The prime minister never expected that Murong Chengan would know about this, and in addition to being shocked, Cheng Lian kowtowed and denied bullying the king.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong! The queen mother was originally the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her biological father was of course an old minister. Your Majesty, the queen is the daughter of the old minister, and she can be so loved by the emperor and named the queen mother, and the old minister thanks the emperor for his grace! ”

Murong Chengan didn't reply, just knocked on the table with his fingertips.

"Your Majesty, speaking of the daughter of the old minister, Zhu'er is also very virtuous and virtuous, and she is the daughter of the old minister, the emperor ......"

"Okay, I'm a little tired, so let's step down."

The prime minister returned to the prime minister's mansion in a gloomy manner, feeling more and more that Ye Lingxi was unreliable. That's why he was anxious to let Ye Yuzhu enter the palace as soon as possible this morning, but he didn't expect that Murong Chengan would be fascinated by Ye Lingxi like this.

"This ......"

Facing the strong Murong Cheng'an, the prime minister in the court no longer knew how to refute Murong Cheng'an.

Murong Chengan's expression and tone were so serious, he didn't look like he was joking at all!

Several ministers who had just reviewed the emperor's draft were also stunned.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been three thousand beauties in the harem, and they have spread out for the royal family, this is the rule set by the ancestors, the emperor thinks twice!"

There are still ministers who are more courageous and more idle, ignoring Murong Chengan's slightly squinting dangerous eyes, and continue to speak and admonish.

Most of the ministers still kept their heads down, looking like they had a very low sense of presence. Although they didn't agree with Murong Cheng'an's decision that the queen was the only one in the harem, they didn't dare to refute Murong Cheng'an, as long as the queen could come back safely and give birth to a prince for the royal family, what did the emperor's harem have to do with them!

In fact, it stands to reason that the emperor of a country does have the mission of inheriting the royal genes, which is not something that can be done casually. However, Murong Chengan has such strength, and he is not afraid of the opposition of hundreds of officials and fulfills the promise he made to Ye Lingxi.

Now, only Ye Lingxi is sent back, and Murong Chengan wants to hold a grand ceremony for Ye Lingxi, so that everyone in the world knows that Ye Lingxi is his only wife.

It's a pity that Ye Lingxi, who is now far away on the border of Tianhe Country, doesn't know anything about it.

"Xiao Luozi, the intention is to seal Ye Yuzhu of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the princess of Zhu. Retreat! ”
