Heaven is selfless. The matter of Ye Tianhuai's exclusive favor for Qin Baozhu soon spread to the previous dynasty.

"Your Majesty is still in the period of filial piety, and the great ceremony of marriage is imminent, you should follow the etiquette system, be cautious and filial piety, and must not be slow and abolish the etiquette."

The official admonished in pain.

Ye Tianhuai glanced at Chen Yuansi, and saw that he was standing at the head of the column with his head bowed, his face was a little ugly, but he had no intention of speaking.

Ye Tianhuai groaned slightly, and said: "If you talk about etiquette, no one knows it better than the Ministry of Etiquette. Wen Qing, I don't remember that there is such a requirement in the ancestral etiquette law, on the contrary, it seems that the emperor has to choose a few elderly palace maids to serve before his wedding. If I don't remember anything right, you can just say it. ”

Wen Xinzhong was suddenly named by Ye Qianhuai, he raised his head and glanced at Ye Tianhuai quickly, lowered his head again, and replied: "According to the convention, before the wedding of the emperor and queen, His Majesty should choose three to six palace maids to perform a warm banquet, but this time it is not the emperor's wedding, but the engagement ceremony, so there is no such thing as a warm banquet." As for the etiquette of filial piety mentioned by Master Cao, the minister thinks that filial piety is righteousness, but there is not only one form, and it should change according to the situation. Filial piety for the father is filial piety, and extending the heirs is also filial piety. If the heirs of the family wither today, if there is something in the harem, His Majesty will not only have filial piety and righteousness, but also stabilize the society. ”

"Wen Shangshu is wrong to say this, Your Majesty is now a favored person, not a branch. After the harem has not yet been established, there is such a flamboyant wind, where is this stable society, it is obviously overturning the community! The Taiqing Pavilion scholar surnamed Cao didn't give in for half a step, and his words were very angry.

At this time, Gu Shihai suddenly interjected: "If Master Cao really can't stand it, he will give His Majesty a few more beauties, so that Your Majesty can be wet with rain and dew." ”

Although he said this directly, he choked Bachelor Cao speechless. He was Chen Yuansi's protégé, and the palace's words were also instructed by Chen Yuansi, aiming to persuade the emperor to stay away from women, lest the queen give birth to a prince before entering the palace. He originally hoped that there would be no woman in the harem, so how could he offer a beauty to the emperor.

Ye Tianhuai didn't know how they had their respective calculations in their hearts.

She smiled kindly at Gu Shihai and said, "When Gu Ge said this, I remembered it. A few days ago, Gu Ge Lao said that he wanted to give me a beauty, but seriously? ”

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qianhuai, his face suddenly darkened, and a dangerous cold light flashed in his eyes. Ye Qianhuai still looked at him with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Chen Yuansi finally couldn't sit still, he said angrily to Gu Shihai: "Old Gu Ge, you are the second assistant of the dynasty, and you are the important minister of the first emperor Tuogu. How can you put Your Majesty ...... What is the way to the crooked? ”

He paused, and when he mentioned the harem and the beauty, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Chen Ge's old words are serious. Which of the kings of the past dynasties is not three palaces and six courtyards, and there are three thousand beauties? Doesn't Chen Ge Lao Mo want his granddaughter to be favored alone, and want His Majesty to disperse the harem, right? Chen Ge Lao, the minister advises you, your granddaughter has not married into the palace yet, and it is too early for you to stretch out your hand. ”

The two of them haven't argued in the court for a few days, and now this quarrel can be described as full of gunpowder, and no one in the entire court dares to say a word.

No one noticed that the emperor sitting on the throne restrained the smile on his face and looked at Gu Shihai for a moment.

Gu Shihai's reaction was somewhat unexpected. For this marriage between the emperor and the Chen family, he was naturally not happy. But the reaction was so great, the sarcasm in the words was unadorned, and there was a bit of vinegar.

Ye Tianhuai thought in his heart: It seems that Gu Shihai is also quite concerned about the position of this queen, and he is far less relaxed than he shows.

Chen Yuansi was obviously also angry, he didn't speak for a while, he looked at Gu Shihai, and said after a while: "The selection of the harem has its own inner court." Gu Ge Lao should take care of his own family affairs first. The old minister heard yesterday that Ling Lang took the left and right Xiao cavalry guards of the Gyeonggi Eight Guards to Jinxiufang to make trouble, and forcibly robbed the daughter of the shopkeeper of Heshun Buzhuang, and was sued to the Jingzhao Mansion. ”

The corners of Gu Shihai's eyes twitched, his face turned pale, and he said, "This matter has its own judgment from Jingzhao Mansion Yin. Does Chen Ge also want to intervene? ”

"The old minister just thinks it's strange, the Gyeonggi Garrison Guard is obviously Dajing's army, and they eat the imperial grain from the treasury, why does it look like Ling Lang's attendant now?"

Chen Yuansi spoke unhurriedly, but he was heart-wrenching.

"Gu Haiwang lived in the history of the Gyeonggi Guard, co-led the Gyeonggi Eight Guards, and after the robbery of the prison, he was ordered to assist in the investigation of the anti-party in Beijing. I went to Cha Nabu Zhuang because there was a suspicion in Nabu Village. Gu Shihai looked at Chen Yuansi, showed a sneer, and said, "How much grain was handed back from Jinchuan by the Ministry of War last year and handed over to the national treasury, did Chen Ge forget it so quickly?" Who is contributing to the treasury, and who is eating the imperial grain of the treasury, don't you know in your heart? ”

Chen Yuansi's eyes widened suddenly, he glanced at Gu Shihai with a stern expression, and said, "One yard to one yard!" The affairs of the Ministry of War are the affairs of the Ministry of War, and the affairs of Ling Lang are the affairs of Ling Lang. Why is Gu Ge Lao sophistry? ”

Chen Yuansi was rarely so excited, and Gu Shihai saw him like this, so he also restrained a little, and said calmly: "The minister just wants to remind Chen Ge Lao that everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they all serve the court, and they each take care of the affairs in front of their own doors, don't always think about stretching your hands so long." ”

Chen Yuansi's expression also darkened, his pair of goldfish eyes became half-closed and half-open again, and he said, "Gu Ge is too worried. The old minister is old, how can he still have the heart to take care of so many things. ”

He said this very vicissitudes, quite a sense of powerlessness of a hero's twilight.

Ye Tianhuai watched the battle between the two of them shake hands and make peace in the blink of an eye, like a storm suddenly turning clear, and he was quite surprised in his heart.

There seems to be a wonderful balance between Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai, the two are not convinced by each other, but they are forced to divide the river for some reason.

"Chen Ge Lao is the first assistant of the dynasty, what happened to the three provinces and six departments in Shengjing and Kyushu, Chen Ge Lao should be asked." Ye Tianhuai said, glanced at Chen Yuansi, saw that his face was as usual, and said, "Since this matter involves Gu Haiwang, Gu Ge should avoid it according to the rules, and it is not appropriate for the Criminal Department to intervene." In this way, Elder Chen Ge, you elect someone to come out and supervise Jingzhao Mansion to handle this case for justice. ”

She had already handed the knife to Chen Yuansi, and it was up to her to see if he could take it.

Chen Yuan thought for a while, and said: "It is the responsibility of the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise the prison, if Your Majesty wants the old minister to recommend it, the old minister will recommend the imperial historian Li Wenqing to supervise the case." ”

Although Li Wenqing had argued with Gu Shihai in the palace, he was now manipulated. Chen Yuansi changed his hand and handed the knife to Li Wenqing, no matter what Li Wenqing did, Chen Yuansi could pick himself clean, and he would neither disobey the emperor's will nor offend Gu Shihai.

Ye Tianhuai looked at Li Wenqing who was standing in the back row, and Li Wenqing was also looking up at her at this time, with some timidity in his eyes.

Ye Tianhuai's face sank slightly, and said, "In this case, Li Wenqing, you will supervise this case." ”
