Chapter 142: The Early Dynasty
Di Xin agreed to Fei Zhong's proposal and returned to the harem to talk to Empress Jiang about the matter.
Empress Jiang's surname is Qing Xianshu, and the reason why Di Xin was able to stabilize the harem is due to Queen Jiang's contributions, so the relationship between the two is naturally excellent.
After Di Xin told Empress Jiang about the matter, he also said his own considerations, and Empress Jiang did not have any objection to Di Xin's statement that he was enriching the harem, and the two had a deep relationship and were not worried that Di Xin would like the new and hate the old, and the number of Di Xin's harem was indeed not much, and there was some discord in terms of etiquette, so this matter was settled.
But Empress Jiang, as the master of the harem, although she never participates in national affairs, is such a surname but more clear, and always feels that there seems to be something wrong here, especially Di Xin's plan to hide this from Wen Zhong made Empress Jiang feel slightly uneasy, and what Wen Zhong said also made her feel worried.
Moreover, the Yin Shang emperors were all married to the daughters of important ministers in the court, and the women of those vassal states could only be offered by the local princes on their own initiative, otherwise the Yin Shang emperor was not allowed to force the vassal states to offer women.
It's just that Empress Jiang knows Di Xin's surname, and it is difficult to change what the other party decides, and she also has luck in her heart, maybe her worries are superfluous.
After Di Xin got Empress Jiang's letter, he had a plan in his heart.
The next time, when he went to the court, the ministers finished the matter one after another, and then they looked at Fei Zhong with their eyes. Fei Zhong glanced at the king and nodded, indicating understanding.
Then Fei Zhong came out of the line under the attention of the ministers, stood in the middle of the court and said to the king: "My lord, the ministers often walk among the people, and I heard that the people are quite dissatisfied with the king's matter. ”
The ministers next to him were surprised when they heard this, and they didn't know how this counselor, who had always been known for his flattery, criticized the king today, and couldn't help but pay attention to the situation here.
Di Xin didn't seem to know about this matter in advance, and when he heard this, he leaned forward and looked at Fei Zhong below, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was coercive: "What's the matter?
Di Xin's tone was calm, but it was extremely cold, so that Fei Zhongming knew that this was a look, but he was also nervous with sweat on his forehead, and secretly complained. But at this time, he insisted and said: "King, there are rumors outside that there are too few concubines in the queen's harem, which is a loss of my big business system." ”
Di Xin frowned, noticing that the ministers around him were all in their spirits, and the corners of his mouth moved faintly: "Oh?"
"Yes, my lord. It is also rumored that it is ...... Say yes......" Fei Zhong's face showed nervousness, and he didn't seem to dare to speak.
"What else are you talking about?" Di Xin asked: "Since Fei Aiqing has said everything, why is she still ready to say half of it?!"
Fei Zhong gritted his teeth, and then suddenly said aloud: "I also said that this matter is because of the jealousy of the Great Queen's Harem, which made my Great Shang Dynasty lose its system." ”
After saying this, Fei Zhong seemed to be extremely frightened, and he lowered his body tightly, not daring to say anything more.
When the ministers heard this, they were shocked, and they immediately talked about it, and they looked at each other and didn't know what was happening in this morning, and why they didn't even smell a shadow beforehand.
At this time, Di Xin, who was sitting at the top, was already pale, and seemed to be in danger of breaking out at any time, but this time he was not completely pretending, and half of him was really angry.
He and Empress Jiang have a deep relationship with each other, I didn't expect this Fei Zhong to have such a bold excuse, if it weren't for the fact that this matter is related to the stability of the Northwest Land, he would have let Fei Zhong be kicked out long ago.
"Presumptuous! Who said this?! Dare to slander the queen like this, it can be said that his intentions are extremely vicious!" Di Xin really shouted angrily, making the hearts of the palace people around him tremble, and their breathing became a little disordered.
Everyone looked at Fei Zhong in the field and gloated, but they didn't dare to show it.
Fei Zhong secretly complained in his heart, and then glanced at You Hun Feilian and the others next to him, and these people reacted at this time, and hurriedly came out and said to Di Xin: "The king is angry, no wonder Fei Taifu is like this matter, but there are those ignorant people outside who are spreading the rumors. ”
Di Xin took a deep breath, then shook his sleeves and said, "Then I don't know what you mean?"
The ministers next to him were still waiting for Di Xin to be angry, but they didn't expect Di Xin to suddenly say such a sentence, which suddenly made those ministers a little puzzled, these are human spirits, how could they not hear another meaning in Di Xin's words at this time.
At this time, Fei Zhong picked up his spirit and said: "Qi Wang, what the people say is quite wrong, but because there are few concubines in the queen's harem, I also ask the king to choose women from the people to enrich the harem, so that Queen Jiang is innocent and calms the hearts of all the people in the world." ”
Di Xin's face was gloomy, as if he was hesitant, the minister next to him finally knew what this Fei Zhong meant, and then looked at Di Xin's face, everyone's hearts suddenly moved, there seemed to be another hidden secret in it, could it be that the king already knew about this matter, or was this matter decided by the king in advance......
Thinking about it like this, the more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was really possible, and they couldn't help but look at each other and watch the development of the situation.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared from the side hall, it was Queen Jiang.
This is the first time that Empress Jiang has entered the main hall during the early dynasty, and the ministers can't help but look, presumably this matter has been known to Empress Jiang, but Fei Zhong did not dare to look at Empress Jiang at this time, for fear of being hated by the other party, no matter what, he brought out Empress Jiang as an excuse after all.
Empress Jiang ignored everyone, and the warriors guarding the palace let go of the passage under Di Xin's instructions, and Empress Jiang came directly to the center of the main hall, and then knelt down: "Please also ask the king to think twice, and select the palace concubine to enrich the harem to appease the hearts of the people." ”
Looking at everything in this scene, everyone suddenly realized, it seems that this is really arranged by the king a long time ago, but they didn't expect that Queen Jiang would also vigorously support this matter.
The following Shang Rong and a few people glanced at each other, and wanted to dissuade them, but they stopped their pace, whether this was arranged in advance or not, and it was not unacceptable for Di Xin to choose a concubine to enrich the harem.
At this moment of hesitation, Di Xin had already personally stepped down from his seat, came to Queen Jiang's side, held Queen Jiang's arms and said, "You ......"
"Please also ask the king to put the world first!"
......
The incident starring Di Xin in the early dynasty has passed, and Di Xin issued an edict on the spot to select civil nieces to be included in the harem, but only less than twenty people were selected, and no more could be chosen.
This matter made the ministers happy, but the ministers originally thought that the matter had been decided, but they did not expect that Di Xin would designate six of the twenty people selected this time as the daughters of the princes of all parties, and one of them was actually the most beloved daughter of Hou Suhu of Yizhou! )
