It wasn't until everyone had said that Chu Zhexun cleared his throat and asked, "I have thought about what Fang Aiqing said carefully, and it seems that there is some truth." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So let's talk about it, how to solve it?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were happy, and when they looked at each other, they had a bottom in their hearts. Thinking about it more than a month ago, the emperor swore in front of the ministers that he would not marry the queen in this life, and promised that there would be no concubines in the six palaces. Everyone present at the time was shocked by his promise.

Now that I think about it, those days are really unbearable......

The new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world celebrated, and the ministers all brought their families to attend and meet the new emperor together. At that time, the promise of "no concubines in the six palaces" of the emperor can be said to have made the family members feel stirred in their hearts when they heard it, and their eyes were full of tears! Think about it, on weekdays, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary men are all three wives and four concubines, who like the new and hate the old.

Women have been restrained since ancient times, and jealousy is guilty of seven crimes. A man can abandon a woman who commits seven offenses, and it is difficult for a woman who is sent back to her parents' house by a letter of resignation in this life. Therefore, women have always lived cautiously, for fear of committing taboos.

But throughout the ages, love is exclusive, and no one doesn't want a pure, unadulterated love. Men like the new and hate the old, and they have always only heard the newcomers laugh and not the old people cry. But the woman, in the face of her husband's betrayal and her husband's change of heart, not only can she not criticize it, but she also has to force herself to make a happy appearance, and her wife and concubine are happy.

Therefore, in front of the civil and military officials that day, Chrysostom promised the queen that she would never accept a concubine in this life, and all the women were moved to tears. After returning home, they raised objections to their husbands on this basis.

On weekdays, even if someone has objections to her husband's concubine, she doesn't dare to dwell on it, but now it's different, no man dares to say that his wife has committed seven crimes. On the contrary, the women moved out of the emperor as an example, and only one sentence can block the man's mouth: even the emperor who sits on the world can be the only one for the queen, why can't you?

Because of the emperor's example, their life in the palace was not so easy. At that time, they were holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, wanting to see how long the emperor's mind could last!

In fact, on the day he ascended the throne, listening to the emperor's promise, they "came over" scoffed. Men, who hasn't sworn an alliance yet, when they talk about it. No matter how strong and unchanging the feelings are, they can't compete with time, and after a long time, what kind of vows and alliances have long been thrown out of the clouds.

Besides, if the emperor really never accepts a concubine, wouldn't their idea of installing their own people in the palace be in vain?

Therefore, in public and private, they don't want to see the emperor really make a promise. Everyone is waiting behind their backs, waiting to see the emperor break his promise in person!

Originally, they were thinking about how they could dominate the emperor for a year and a half with the queen's mother. I didn't expect that it was only more than a month, and the emperor was tired of it. What six palaces have no concubines, what white heads grow old, I'm afraid it has long become an empty word!

Chu Zhexun sat upright, his eyes wandering over everyone, taking their thoughts into his eyes. For Chu Zhexun, it has long been a strange thing to see through people's hearts at a glance. Not to mention the little excitement on their faces that couldn't be hidden at this moment. He thought to himself, he was afraid that these courtiers would be too happy now, thinking that the emperor would finally be the same as them.

But he didn't show it, and the moment they raised their eyes, he naturally looked away, as if he had never looked at them. After a while, seeing that none of them spoke, Fang Cai asked again: "Isn't it my question that is difficult?

Taifu took a step forward and bowed his hand: "Since the emperor asked this, then the old minister will say a few words." If there is something wrong with what you said, please ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it, today everyone speaks freely, and those who speak are not guilty. Chu Zhexun replied loudly.

Taifu looked at him with a smile and said, "The old minister thinks that for the sake of my Dalang Dynasty's branches and leaves, and the continuation of heirs, the emperor should still enrich ** as soon as possible." Since Emperor Jiwende, the Holy Ancestor has followed the draft concubine system of the previous dynasty, and the selection is made every three years. The school-age women of the official eunuch family were selected into the palace, and after layers of screening, the emperor himself selected the satisfactory ones to stay in the harem and serve the emperor and queen. ”

Chu Zhexun listened and bowed: "Then how to deal with the rest of the dissatisfied?"

When everyone heard this, they had a guess in their hearts: although this emperor is the son of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, whether he grew up in the palace or not, and many things have not yet been figured out. In the past, when he followed Emperor Gaozu's side, he also put more thought into Wen Taowu's strategy, and did not care more about the emperor's harem. It is probably because I don't know much about these things that I made such a promise to the queen on impulse. Sure enough, it's only been a month, and I feel remorseful!

In fact, this is inevitable, after all, men, who doesn't want to hug left and right? Not to mention the emperor, he can give all the women in the world what he wants, and it is impossible to want to be single-minded!

Besides, about the changeable mind of the emperor, everyone has already learned it once. In the past, when the emperor was only Chu Ye, it was rumored in the capital that he loved Baishuangyue, the daughter of Baifu, almost to the point where he would not marry her.

At that time, there were countless people in the capital who wanted to build a family with Chu Mansion. In addition, Chu Ye has always been lofty and graceful, and he is the spring boudoir dream of many women. However, he never let go, and insisted on not wanting anyone except the daughter of Baifu. Even the emperor personally offered marriage at that time, but he refused without hesitation.

But later, something happened to Baifu, and the daughter of Baifu was even more buried in the fire. Just when everyone thought that Chu Ye would be sad and depressed, he acted like he was fine, and everything was as usual. Later, I heard someone talking, saying that they saw that there were other women around Chu Ye. Now that I think about it, it was the current queen who took advantage of the situation at that time. Speaking of which, the queen mother is really blessed, she has no family background, and she can capture the heart of Master Chu!

However, this incident also proves to everyone that there is no unswerving love in this world at all, and he was as infatuated as Chu Ye back then, didn't he also find a new love soon after the death of Baifu's daughter?

This kind of thing has strengthened everyone's speculation: flowers are not white and the sun is red, and this queen mother, like the daughter of the white mansion, will sooner or later become the past in the emperor's heart.

When Taifu heard this, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he explained in detail: "It depends on what the Holy Lord wants." You can give these unsuccessful women marriages to princes or noble ministers. If you don't like it, you can send it back to your home. ”

After hearing this, Chu Zhexun nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at others again: "Do you all agree with what Taifu said? Do you have any other opinions?"

The household servant rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in addition to the rules of the ancestors, it is also possible to bring forth the new. ”

"Oh?" Chu Zhexun was interested, "What does it mean to push through the old and bring forth the new?"

The household servant arched his hand and said: "According to the rules of the ancestors, the woman who enters the palace to be selected must be from a family. In this way, many women with both ability and political integrity will be buried, which is also a loss for the emperor. As the so-called whole world is not the king's land, the minister thinks that if the emperor likes it, his background can be ignored. ”

What Zeng Shilang said was very true, and the old minister reconsidered. The prime minister said.

Chu Zhexun said with satisfaction: "In this case, I will leave this matter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but now that I have just ascended the throne, the treasury is tight, and I don't want a large-scale draft." If this is not the case, then the secretary of the family will recommend a suitable woman to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I will consider it again, how about it?"

"Yes, I obey. Everyone spoke in unison.

After a few more small talks, Chu Zhexun asked them to step down. Everyone went out of the palace gate, and they were all overjoyed in their hearts. Now there is no one else in the palace except the queen. The woman who was selected to accompany the woman in the palace this time took the lead, and she was able to seal the concubine. The emperor openly handed over such good things to them, but was he not respecting and showing favor to them?

Everyone reached a tacit understanding, such good things must be kept silent for the time being, and the rumors must not leak out. After returning home, everyone got busy and began to choose the right age girl from their own home.

And the smile on Chu Zhexun's face gradually faded after everyone retreated. He got up and walked in the direction of Fengluan Palace, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. On weekdays, I really underestimate these courtiers, but they are so active!

In the Fengluan Palace, Su Nuoyu was talking to Tongyun, and seeing his uncertain expression, he only thought that something was troublesome in the previous dynasty. After waving his hand to signal Xinyun to retreat, he greeted him. Chu Zhexun's face did not change until he saw Su Nuoyu.

"What's the matter? Isn't that a while ago over?" Su Nuoyu took his arm and came to the chaise longue under the porch and sat down side by side.

Chu Zhexun said in an unkind tone: "On weekdays, I underestimate those courtiers, and they are extremely concerned about my housework!"

Su Nuo was surprised: "For the harem?"

Chu Zhexun bowed his head and told her what happened in the Jiade Hall just now. I thought that Su Nuo would be displeased when she heard it, and I didn't want the smile on her face to increase instead of decreasing.

Facing the surprise in Chu Zhexun's eyes, Su Nuoyu smiled lightly: "The mind between you and me has not changed, so why should I be displeased? Besides, this matter is also under your control today, as far as you old fox, presumably only they are calculated!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be moved by what they say?" Chu Zhexun asked amusedly.

Su Nuoyu had a decent smile on his face, and said gently: "We have experienced so many things together, and I can even hand over my life to you without hesitation, let alone these little things." If you and I don't even have this trust, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
