This little eunuch can be regarded as very discerning, knowing that Murong Lin is talking with Feng Xiaoyue, he must not have any other mind to deal with other things, so he asked very tactfully.

From Murong Lin's point of view, he already had a little prejudice and suspicion about the official Shangshu, and as soon as he heard that he was leading people out, he knew that he must have thought of some bad idea again, and he wanted to make some moths, so he was even more reluctant to come to him.

But Murong Lin's current identity is already the emperor, but he must not be as willful as before, Feng Xiaoyue looked at his expression beside him, knowing that he was afraid that he was thinking of some excuse to prevaricate today's meeting, so he couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.

"You'd better go and see, dealing with people you don't like very much can be regarded as a test. After all, you are not what you used to be, even if he does anything, he has to act under your nose, you can at least know the general direction of his subsequent actions if you ask. ”

Feng Xiaoyue gently pushed him twice with her hand, although Murong Lin knew this truth very well, but he was still reluctant in his heart after all.

"I've always been outspoken, and I don't like to beat around the bush with others, but the current situation makes me unable to grasp what is wrong with him, which makes me annoyed. Well, I'll see what he's up to, and I'll come back to see you in the evening." ”

Murong Lin said, holding Feng Xiaoyue's palm very reluctantly, and looked at each other affectionately for a while, Feng Xiaoyue squinted her eyes and smiled lightly, "It's okay, go ahead, don't be like a child, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner." ”

"Okay." Murong Lin got such a word of concern from her, and he was so happy in his heart. It took a while for the little eunuch to turn around and leave, so that the palace people who followed the two of them all the way out were very envious of the relationship between the two of them.

Coming out of the imperial garden, there was a sedan chair waiting on the road outside, Murong Lin sat on it and closed his eyes to recuperate, so that he had enough energy to deal with the two old officials in the study.

A total of four people carried the sedan chair, followed by a long pile of palace maids and eunuchs, escorting Murong Lin all the way to the study, the door of the study was wide open, and there were Qian Sen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Shang Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Murong Lin got down from the sedan chair and looked at the two people in the room, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, Shang Shangzhou of the Ministry of Rites was fifty years old, and he had never liked to have too close relationships with people. And he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and now that the matter of the enthronement ceremony has been dealt with, it is useless for him to come forward, how can he follow Qian Sen and the two of them to mess around today.

He walked in suspiciously with his hands behind his back, and as soon as Qian Sen saw it, he immediately saluted him courteously. "Weichen sees Your Majesty, I wish my emperor to ascend the throne, and I wish my emperor good health and a long life."

"Get up." Murong Lin raised his hand casually, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, I don't know why Qian Sen was so attentive today, could it be that he knew that the situation could not be changed, so he wanted to deliberately come over to curry favor.

But there is a good saying, it is called easy to change, but nature is difficult to change, Qian Sen knows that there is no turning back, where will it be so easy to change. Murong Lin walked up to the desk in front of the main hall by himself, ready to pick up the fold that he had just sent this morning to watch, and then before he could dry Qian Sen for a while, he pretended to speak, and heard that it was Shang Zhou who spoke first.

"Your Majesty, everything prepared for the enthronement ceremony that day has been put into the treasury, and the congratulatory gifts sent by various countries have also been returned, and envoys have been sent to greet you, and you have come to ask Your Majesty to take a look."

Murong Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard him speak, and then glanced at Qian Sen, who was next to him and was extremely quiet today. When Chanson received his gaze, he immediately lowered his head. Murong Lin took a look at his table again, and soon found the fresh fold sent by the Ministry of Rites.

"You can handle these things by yourself, and tell me again when you go back, where is the need to go to the palace so much trouble today, and I didn't get to think that you are the two people of the same ministry, and there are still some important things to talk to me."

When the words landed, Shang Zhou's expression was instantly embarrassed, and Qian Sen couldn't help but look at him for so long and couldn't help but signal him to speak quickly. Murong Lin paid attention to the movements of these two people and didn't speak, just waited quietly, and then Shang Zhou finally raised his head, first bowing.

"Weichen does have one thing he wants to ask His Majesty, when can we prepare for the draft ceremony, or is it the same as an ordinary day. If it is according to the rules left by the ancestors, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are still many things that the Ministry of Rites needs to deal with, I am afraid that it will be too busy. If His Majesty plans to pick an auspicious day for the draft, it is okay, but it is urgent to seize the time to choose some newcomers to fill the harem. ”

This Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke today, but for some reason, he contradicted himself, I am afraid that he was picked up by Qian Sen, and he did not make up his mind in his heart. And because as soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the emperor's own private affairs, and he would be embarrassed, which was understandable.

"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, the government is clear and the country is stable, but if the harem is deserted, wouldn't it be a joke, and choosing more beautiful girls to enter the palace can also play a role in appeasing the hearts of the ministers of the court."

"Since I'm at peace with the world, what does this have to do with my draft? Choosing a few women to enter the palace can stabilize the hearts of the ministers of the court, so what is the use of these soldiers. Isn't it that where I want to be stable, I can take the woman from that place and put it in the palace. ”

Murong Lin felt that it was unreasonable when he heard this, and immediately dismissed the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he had to be so old that Shangshang Zhou of the Ministry of Rites was so old that he was so ashamed that he was a young emperor.

"However, Your Majesty, this is the rule left by the ancestors, since you are born as an emperor, you should bear the responsibility of spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, otherwise there will be no successor after a hundred years, wouldn't you live up to the inheritance left by your ancestors."

"I'm still young, and I'm still dozens of years away from a hundred years later, and besides, my queen is still raising a baby in the palace, and I've never said that I won't let the royal family go away.

This is more like the tradition of the older generation, as soon as the words are spoken, people feel very aggrieved when they hear it, Murong Lin also thinks so, but he can still feel that this matter is not an idea that Shangshu came up with alone, and there must be officials fanning the flames on the side. Therefore, although Murong Lin scolded on his lips, he glared at Qian Sen next to him.

"The emperor said this, it really made the old minister embarrassed, how bold did the old minister dare to have such a vicious mind," Shang Zhou was shocked, and his half-gray head became lower and lower.

"The old minister just thinks that there is only one person in the harem, the East Palace Niangniang, and it is inevitable that she will be deserted, for the sake of the rules left by the ancestors, as well as the stability of the court, so I specially reminded Your Majesty not to forget about the draft."

The thing mentioned in the words is that the election of the daughter of the minister into the palace can play a role in holding the court hostage from another aspect, such a method has been used by emperors of all dynasties, but Murong Lin has read the history books of the past and has always disagreed with this method.

Not to mention whether it is useful or not, it is really feasible, for the sake of his own country, he sacrificed the happiness of so many women in vain, this is not a moral measure no matter how you look at it. has been with Feng Xiaoyue for a long time, and Murong Lin's thinking has also been subtly changed, this time it is similar to saving ten thousand people with one person's life, but that person's life is also life, how can he be so reckless.

What's more, it's not that there is no other way, why bother to follow the old path that those lustful monarchs used to make excuses for themselves.

"I know in my heart that Lord Shangshu's kindness will take care of it when I go back." Fortunately, listening to Shang Zhou's words, it is not very important to ask about this matter, Murong Lin wants to ask the ministers of the court to change such old ideas in order to Feng Xiaoyue, it really takes a lot of effort, and it is good to be able to delay for a while.

However, Qian Sen looked at Murong Lin with the intention of being perfunctory, and Shang Zhou seemed to really accept such a statement, if the two hit it off, then wouldn't it be in vain for him to go to the palace today, so he finally spoke up at this moment.

"Your Majesty's words are a bit too general, this is a major event related to the country's society, please don't be so simple and perfunctory, so as to give the ministers an approximate time, so that the Lord of the Ministry of Rites can have time to prepare after he goes back, it is better than a temporary toss."

Qian Sen said as if he cared about Shang Zhou, which made Shang Zhou feel moved for a while. However, Yu Shang Zhou thought privately that he was really not in a hurry about this matter, but if he really responded to Qian Sen's words, he asked Murong Lin for a fixed time, and he had a rough idea, at least he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

Murong Lin expected that Qian Sen must not have a good heart when he came over, and he was curious about why he was so quiet today, who wanted to open his mouth was coerced openly and secretly, which made his disgust with Qian Sen rise a little more.

"I'm busy with government affairs, I really don't want anything else, you can step back for the time being, so that after I think about it, I will naturally summon you to come over and talk, and there is no candidate in your family waiting to marry and wait to enter the palace, why are you so anxious here?"

"Your Majesty is really joking, Wechen is greeting Lord Shang, and it is not for his own benefit, whether this matter is successful or not, it will not have much impact on Wechen." Chanson smiled.

"It's just that Your Majesty is so hesitant, lest there will be changes in the imperial court."
