Murong Mian sat on the dragon chair, looking at the noisy ministers below, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could he know that the emperor was not free in order to be unrestrained.

In order to select the matter, the ministers were excited, especially those difficult officials, from ancient times to the present, from the concubine to the prince, the whole admonition, the mouth is like a river, the waves are endless, and in the end, there is only a handful of snot and tears.

Murong Mian is a diligent emperor, and he has everything in government affairs, but he didn't take this matter to heart, he thought it was his own private matter and could ignore it, but for the courtiers, the emperor's affairs are no big or small, public or private, as long as it violates the ancestral system and rules, they have to theorize.

He sat on the high platform, watched coldly, and ignored it.

"Your Majesty," Cai Anhe, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, knelt down and kowtowed, "My emperor has been on the throne since the beginning of the year, diligent and loving the people, admired by the people, unified north and south, stable and harmonious, only the affairs of the inner palace make the ministers and other worries, not to mention the vacancy of the middle palace, the harem is empty, it has never been in the past dynasties, the emperor, not to mention, the prince is the first priority for the stability of the society, you don't choose, where does the prince come from?" It is an ordinary family, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, not to mention the royal bloodline, the emperor, for the sake of Dongyue for thousands of generations, please think twice! If the emperor insists on abolishing the selection, the ministers are willing to admonish each other with death, and ask the emperor to fulfill it! ”

He is bitter and touching, but according to Mo Rongmian's temper, he can't wait to put these idyllic old guys. cut watermelons one by one, and cut them all, but after all, he is not a faint king, the emperor kills people, and he has to do it for a reason, and he can't cut it for no reason, not to mention these officials, even he doesn't dare to offend easily.

He didn't say anything, and someone knelt down in the afterglow and shouted loudly, "Please think twice about the emperor, and the ministers are willing to admonish each other with death!" ”

More people knelt down. Qi shouted, "Please think twice, the ministers are willing to admonish each other with death!" Please think twice, the emperor ......" The voice swirled in the hall, one after another, surging and soaring into the sky.

Murong Mian was not happy or sad on his face, but he really felt a headache, the advice of the officials was not wrong, since ancient times, how could the emperor's harem be empty, he became a real loner, a hundred years later, who should inherit the throne? Since their advice was right, he could not object to it, but at this time, he really did not have the heart to hold any election.

At this time, Xiu Min walked out of the team and waved at the kneeling officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor knows the matter of selection, why do you have to discuss it on the spot, the new dynasty has just been established, the government affairs are busy, and the emperor has every opportunity, there are indeed some things that can't be taken care of, you don't have to be anxious, everything has a priority." ”

Cai Anhe glanced at him, suddenly remembered something, and knocked down to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, the matter of selection can be delayed, but the harem cannot be without concubines, the minister remembers that when the emperor was Qianlong, he married the eldest daughter of a monk as the side princess, and now he is still living in Qianlong Mansion, why not take the mother into the palace to block the mouth of the world." ”

Xiu Min didn't expect Cai Anhe to push the matter on him, and suddenly became embarrassed, Xiu Yuanshuang was a piece of his heart, he thought that he was often in front of the emperor, and there was an opportunity to mention it, but the longer he got along with the emperor, the more he didn't dare to speak, the last time he asked Hao Pingguan to say, it was self-defeating, and he was almost condemned by the emperor, this time Cai Anhe mentioned it, his heart immediately went to his throat, for fear that the emperor would misunderstand that he was behind the ghost, but at this time he explained, and he was afraid that there was no suspicion of three hundred taels of silver here, so he simply kept the pestle aside and kept silent.

The emperor really glanced at him, he lowered his eyebrows, and put on a calm appearance, saying that this matter had nothing to do with him, but in his selfish heart, he still hoped to take this opportunity to let Xiu Yuanshuang enter the harem.

Everyone bowed their heads, no one dared to look at the emperor, but they all pricked up their ears and didn't choose for the time being, but it's always okay to welcome Yuanshuang into the harem, in fact, they have already taken a big step back.

The hall was silent, so quiet that it made people panic, and after a long wait, the emperor finally spoke: "Retreat!" ”

Hao Pingguan immediately dragged out his voice and sang: "Retreat from the dynasty-"

The ministers below were all shocked, and raised their heads, only to see Emperor Ming's dragon robe flashing, and the emperor had already gone to the back of His Majesty. Everyone looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do but wait for the next time.

There's no way for Murong Mian to go so fast, he can't afford to provoke him, can't he hide? These people must not come to his study and his dormitory to bother him.

Xiu Min walked out in the crowd, listening to the unwilling officials talking about it, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, others couldn't see through it, but he saw it very clearly, the emperor was originally angry and red-faced, and now the princess of Chu was not cold, and asked him to choose, of course he didn't agree, stay up slowly, time can heal everything, he believes that one day, the emperor will let go of his knot and agree to choose, and at that time, Xiu Yuanshuang will be able to enter the palace logically.

As soon as he came down the steps, a little eunuch ran over and hit Qian'er at him, "Master Xiu, the emperor invites you to go to the south study." ”

Xiu Min was not surprised, he knew that the emperor would recruit him, whether it was for Cai Xuan or for Xiu Yuanshuang, he was a minister, and he had to worry about the king.

When he arrived at the south study, Hao Pingguan stood outside the door and waved his hand at him, "Master Xiu, go in quickly, the emperor is waiting for you." ”

Xiu Min returned the salute and walked in with his robe, the orientation of the south study was very good, so the sun was abundant, but the emperor liked to sit in the dark, and with his solemn and quiet face, people felt cold as soon as they entered.

The emperor has never liked nonsense, so he asked, "Does Xiu Qing also think that I should choose?" ”

Xiu Min bent his waist, raised his eyebrows, and replied respectfully, "Emperor Shengming, since the beginning of the dynasty in Dongyue, there has been a system of selection, which has not been abolished to this day, and has its own usefulness. When he said this, he stopped, and it was useless to say more, and the emperor knew it.

The emperor understands what he means, there are few ordinary people who die and their wives do not continue the strings, and it is even worse to stay in the emperor's house, not to mention that he has no wife and no children, which is very inappropriate for Jiangshan Sheji.

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "I have been on the throne for so long, and the princess on the other side has not been given a title, does Lord Xiuqing have any opinions on this?" ”

Xiu Min replied truthfully: "The minister doesn't dare, marriage is fate, fate can only be married, the minister knows that the emperor has no Yuanshuang in his heart, and he also persuaded her to leave the Chu Palace, but unfortunately," he shook his head, "The emperor has been away for two years, but she refuses to leave the Chu Palace, and now the old minister is helpless, the minister does not dare to complain about the emperor, but sighs that the little girl is pitiful." ”

The Emperor was silent for a while, then waved his hand, "You stand down." ”

Xiu Min saluted, bowed and withdrew, not sure what the emperor would do.
