Text Chapter 243 Harem General Election
Dugu Yi saw the behavior of the minister under him just now, and he could only remember it silently.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wang Duanmu Lei, one of the six kings, also formed a party for personal gain, and openly saw an opportunity to win over the ministers of the court above the court, thinking that Liu Wang was weak by nature, ignoring the affairs of the court, and indulging in wine all day long, but I didn't expect all this to be a disguise.
Under such a banner, he said that he was doing things for the common people all day long, but in fact? The ambition of the wolf is not to be underestimated, everyone is a white-eyed wolf, and his heart is ruthless, one is more ruthless than the other, which is really terrifying.
Dugu Yi is even more determined at this moment, he must preside over the government in his own hands, as long as he is strong, it doesn't matter what kind of prince he is.
Whether it's a foreign surname Wang, or a dearest prince, whoever dares to offend, then don't be ruthless.
Dugu Yi restrained his expression, cleared his throat, and before the minister could admonish again, he took the lead and said, "Well, Zhong Aiqing, what you said is quite reasonable. ”
"I am really glad that you have to manage the affairs of the common people all day, and now you have time to give me advice."
Dugu Yi naturally praised the minister who had just admonished, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction or other thoughts at all.
When the people below heard Dugu Yi say this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because after all, this is the Son of Heaven, even if it is not good, Dugu Yi's Tianwei is still there.
Especially the people who seconded the proposal below, people like them who saw the wind and steered the rudder, it was okay if the rudder was set, if it didn't succeed, it would definitely be them who would suffer.
Fortunately, Dugu Yi didn't object to anything, and their hearts were half relieved.
As soon as the leading minister heard Dugu Yi say this, he kept teasing in his heart, but he still didn't show it on the surface.
So he arched his hands and said respectfully to Dugu Yi: "Emperor Shengming, these are all things that we are waiting for, and there is nothing hard to say, since the emperor thinks that what the old minister said is right, then the old minister will dare to say a word." ”
Dugu Yi gestured to the little eunuch next to him, and the little eunuch immediately understood what Dugu Yi meant, so he shouted in a sharp voice: "Quasi~".
The old minister was overjoyed, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity to conduct the autumn election of the harem, what do you think?" ”
Dugu Yi didn't think about it, so he said directly: "Okay, Zhun Song, in addition, I, the master of the harem, will also be selected in the autumn audition, saving some processes." ”
Dugu Yi said casually and seemingly indifferently, and the hearts of the ministers below were simply happy.
I thought that my daughter would finally come in handy now, maybe when the time comes, it will be good to be a queen.
The people below have their own ghosts, one person thinks more perfect than one person, all of them want to be promoted and make a fortune, and they don't know what to do except for some tricks one day.
Dugu Yi saw that the morning was almost up, so he ordered the little eunuch to retreat in time.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat."
The ministers resigned one after another.
Such a good time was wasted in the morning, which was really unhappy for Duguyi.
But he is a king, and he has his own responsibilities and obligations, so he has to be different from ordinary people.
The ministers of the Senate Hall dispersed along both sides of the main hall, and in the process of walking, everyone was still talking and laughing about the autumn election of the harem.
I saw that the prime minister Chen Ping was surrounded by many ministers, each with a flattering smile on his face, and each of them said: "Great prime minister, I heard that your little girl is just as good as the ear, and I heard that she is both talented and beautiful, and she is also very famous in the capital." ”
As soon as the prime minister heard someone mention his proudest little daughter, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
Everyone knows that the prime minister Chen Ping is an elderly woman, and he regards his daughter as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and she can't be beaten or scolded, which is simply better than the treatment and lifestyle of some princesses.
This has always been the envy of all the women who have not left the pavilion in the capital, but what can be done about this, who calls people's fathers to be under one person and above ten thousand.
Since childhood, the prime minister's daughter has the best teacher in the capital, and she has been educated in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The prime minister still restrained his expression very much, and said very modestly: "Where is it, the little girl is only a little knowledgeable, but she just understands a little." ”
After hearing this, the others were even more envious, and their hearts were envious and jealous.
But because Chen Ping is higher than their official position, they can only praise each other, in fact, what you think in your heart, it doesn't matter very much, the important thing is whether you have said these things that make others happy.
In this group of people, only one person stood silently on the side, without any words or communication with the others, and did not have too many expressions on his face, just stood indifferently on the side, watching these people talk and laugh.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining outside the hall, Dugu Yi is also a rare person to walk out of the Senate Hall, just happened to see this scene, Dugu Yi is very curious about who the person standing in the crowd is particularly conspicuous.
Duguyi thought about it for a while, but he still didn't refine the name of this person in his mind, so he couldn't do it, so he had to call the imperial eunuch who had served him since he was a child.
He asked, "I ask you, do you know who that person is?" ”
After speaking, Dugu Yi pointed at the person below with his slender finger, and the imperial eunuch looked in the direction of Dugu Yi's finger, lowered his head, and thought about it.
Immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, this person's name is Wang Wei, because the first emperor was alive, because he angered the first emperor and was demoted to an official position, and now he is just a first-class waiter, not worth mentioning." ”
As soon as Dugu Yi heard him say this, he was even more puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask, just stood for a while and left.
However, Dugu Yi still kept this person named Wang Wei in his heart, thinking that it might help him in the future.
As soon as the emperor's holy decree came out, from the surrounding small cities to some remote places, large and small holy decrees were plastered everywhere.
The purpose is to do the work of this harem autumn election in place, and to recruit beauties from all over the world to enter the palace to choose concubines.
Of course, this also includes the daughters of some dignitaries, or some beautiful women, in short, once the holy decree is issued, who dares to disobey.
What's more, some ministers of the court and the central government are still making obstructions in it, and when they convey the holy decree, they also convey some other things.
Among them, there must be twenty beautiful girls in a village and town to enter the palace to choose a concubine, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
The main purpose of these ministers is to lose the hearts and minds of the people of Duguyi, so as to arouse public anger, so as to further exploit Duguyi's forces in order to make profits from it.
When the common people hear that it is the will of God, who will not obey it? So, gradually, the people are full of grievances, and there is dissatisfaction with Duguyi everywhere, but these phenomena will not be known to Duguyi who is far away in the capital.
If you walk down the street, you will hear such invective.
"What kind of holy is this, the holy decree clearly says that it is voluntary, how can this change the meaning?"
"Yes, yes, a village and town has to pay at least twenty girls, is this entering the palace to run for election, or exploitation, and is there any royal law?"
A few of the common people were bold enough to openly criticize the imperial power.
Some of them were discouraged, saying, "O you, it is better to say less, for it will not be good if it reaches the ears of the one above, and you will be beheaded if you comment on it privately!" ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they were so frightened that their legs and feet trembled on the spot, and cold sweat flowed down vigorously, and they looked left and right a few times, for fear that someone would come to arrest them and put them in prison.
After such a small episode, everyone broke up unhappily and went to their own business.
The dissatisfaction of the common people is really getting worse, and among them, there are some people who add fuel to the fire and spread some even worse rumors.
The ministers, who were hiding in the shadows, were overjoyed to see their plans carried out.
However, in order to better consolidate his position in the capital, he specially sacrificed his daughter.
Especially the prime minister Chen Ping, since he got off the court, he didn't change his court clothes, so he came directly to her daughter Chen Yanxue's courtyard, wanting to tell her the good news.
"Cher, look, what good news did Dad bring you?" Chen Ping said with a smile on his face.
Before anyone arrives, their voices are heard first.
Chen Yanxue, who was embroidering in the boudoir, heard her father's words, immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and walked out in a hurry.
"Daddy, you've come back from the last court, is the road going well today?"
Chen Yanxue held Chen Ping's hand affectionately, holding on coquettishly, staring at her father with a pair of bright eyes, looking forward to the good news that Chen Ping was going to say next.
This Chen Yanxue is Chen Ping's only daughter, and as soon as Chen Yanxue was born, her biological mother, that is, Chen Ping's wife, died due to dystocia, so Chen Ping regarded this daughter as a treasure in his hands.
A few days ago, Chen Ping told Chen Yanxue in advance about the autumn selection of Duguyi's harem, although Chen Yanxue was very calm on the surface, but in her heart, she was still very happy.
Because she has been learning these piano, chess, calligraphy and painting day and night since she was a child, she is gone, and one day she will be able to stand on the same flat line as Duguyi, Chen Yanxue is a queen, and this queen can only be the queen of Duguyi.
Chen Ping looked at the anxious appearance of his daughter, and said jokingly: "Alas, the female is not staying, I am old, I am old." ”
As soon as Chen Yanxue heard her father make fun of herself like this, she instantly realized that she seemed to be a little too anxious, so she was very anxious, shyly shook off Chen Ping's hand, and quickly ran to the back room.
As soon as Chen Ping saw his daughter being told by himself, he ran away shyly, and instantly couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha~"
Chen Ping cautiously walked into Chen Yanxue's room and did not speak.
After a long time, Chen Yanxue, who was sitting on the table with her back to Chen Ping, found that her father had not walked in yet, and she was instantly anxious, saying that it was fast at this time, and she immediately stood up, anxiously wanting to rush out.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Pingzheng looking at him jokingly, and he immediately blushed.
Chen Yanxue shook her feet on the spot, and said angrily: "Dad, how can you play tricks on your daughter like this, Dad, I ignore you." ”
After speaking, he pretended to be angry and sat back in his place.
Chen Ping saw that things were almost developing, so he didn't want to joke, so he immediately became serious, walked to Chen Yanxue's side and sat down.
Chen Ping said earnestly: "Xue'er, have you really thought about it?" ”
As soon as Chen Yanxue heard her father talking to her in this tone, she also put away her nonsense.
Chen Yanxue sat up straight and said, "Dad, my daughter has already thought about it, since the first time I saw him, I secretly decided in my heart that he can only be me, and no one else." ”
Chen Ping let out a long sigh in his heart when he saw his daughter's seriousness, and he didn't know what to say.
