Chapter 18: National Conditions
When I arrived at the palace, the emperor pulled his precious son to talk about his family, completely ignoring me, a big living person.
The emperor's current harem has six concubines in addition to the queen, but the queen is the most favored, and the reason why the queen is favored is not how deep the queen is, but because she is not infected by the atmosphere in the palace.
The emperor has six sons, no daughters, and all the sons except the four princes are born to the queen.
In fact, the concubines of the harem were also pregnant with dragon seeds, but as soon as those concubines were pregnant with children, they preached everywhere, and they wanted to see the emperor on the grounds of sending soup all day long, and gradually became more and more lawless.
At this time, the emperor and his mother, the Queen Mother, were angry.
The queen mother was originally a princess of a country, and she had long been accustomed to seeing the women of the harem fighting, and the prince didn't need a lot of anything, and it was enough to have a succession, so the queen mother personally came forward and aborted the fetus of the pregnant concubines at that time, and ordered that only one queen was allowed to give birth to a child from the harem, and other concubines had no right to give birth to a dragon for the emperor.
In this feudal society, this practice will undoubtedly make the ministers of the court โกโก, the daughters of several ministers are the emperor's concubines, they tried their best to send their daughters to the palace in order to one day after the daughter gave birth to the dragon son, the whole family is prosperous, so several ministers have written to advise the emperor, as a result, the emperor was furious, and sent a team of secret guards overnight to find out the secret transactions of those ministers, and the next day the whole door was beheaded.
Now let's talk about the queen, the queen mother is a child of the rivers and lakes, and met the emperor on a wonderful afternoon with a private visit to Weifu, the queen is the emperor's first love, the two respect each other like guests, and the relationship is very good.
The depraved incident in the palace made all the concubines point the finger at the queen, thinking that the queen was a demon girl, hindering them from being favored, so one after another the concubines began to drug the queen, but they underestimated the queen, the queen was the apprentice of the medical fairy, not to mention the martial arts, even the medical skills and poison skills are not comparable to a few people, those concubines' tricks are not even a fart in the eyes of the queen, and finally the queen mother's poisoning of the queen was known by the queen mother, and the old lady once again went out to kill these women who did not know the times.
This country is called Xilai Kingdom, the system is very special, the emperor can only sit on the dragon chair until he is fifty years old to pass on the throne to the prince, the prince does not have to be the eldest son can be the eldest son, as long as the prince is capable, then he can be established as the prince.
The prince is only allowed to have one princess and one side concubine before being crowned as the prince, and he is not allowed to have even concubines. As for the emperor, in addition to the queen, the emperor can also appoint ten more concubines, but if there is one more, the ministers in the court have the right to depose the king.
In addition, except for the queen, the rest of the concubines in the palace cannot give birth to children to the emperor, which is the new rule set by the queen mother. Moreover, if the palace maid is lucky, she cannot be made a concubine, and the favored palace maid will be 'purified' once she is discovered, and then expelled from the palace.
To be honest, I think this Xilai country is very well governed, at least the royal family is not messed up.
The emperor and the third prince waited for an hour to notice me, and they both felt very embarrassed to see me standing there all the time.
"Aiqing, is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, what are the countries near our Xilai Kingdom?"
The emperor touched his chin and thought for a while: "Yushan Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Jiushan Kingdom, Duolong Kingdom, and some small affiliated countries. โ
"Your Majesty, the suspect in the Laizhou case has been arrested, and the people of Mocheng have also been cured, and the minister wants to apply to the emperor for one thing. โ
"No, no, no. The emperor waved his hand, "Those people you have captured are all tight-lipped, and I still want you to torture and interrogate them!"
I laughed and said, "Just let my guards do this." โ
