Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

In the court, Xiao Chenyi was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sitting on the throne. His phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Since he ascended the throne, he has used thundering means to quickly rectify many corrupt officials in the court, bringing a new atmosphere to the court.

Now, the officials in the court are in awe of him, and they will basically execute the orders he issues without any objection.

However, to his surprise, this group of people only remained quiet for a few days before starting to make trouble.

As soon as the court started today, the ministers couldn't wait to bring up the matter of the beauty pageant, which made him feel a little dissatisfied and annoyed.

It was obvious that they had discussed all this in advance.

In fact, we cannot blame these ministers for taking unnecessary actions.

Since ancient times, which emperor’s harem was not filled with numerous beauties?

The new emperor is young, promising, handsome, capable, loyal and affectionate. Such a perfect man is undoubtedly the ideal partner every woman dreams of.

The number of women in the capital who admired him increased day by day.

Even if the ministers kept silent about it, the women in their families would take the initiative to ask to enter the palace to serve the emperor and become his concubines.

They all felt that the new emperor had just ascended the throne and might not have time to think about the selection of concubines.

Or maybe the new emperor was too embarrassed to bring it up himself.

Or maybe it was the Queen who was overbearing and didn't allow the Emperor to take a concubine. When the Emperor was a prince, the Princess was the only one who dominated the throne. She drove out concubines when they came in, not to mention concubines.

In this case, they can only propose that the new emperor select a concubine and give it a push.

Since Xiao Chenyi ascended the throne, he has quickly promulgated a series of policies to promote economic development and encourage grassroots people to start businesses and get rich.

These policies are like a spring breeze blowing across the land, bringing hope and vitality to people. People feel that there is hope for the future.

And his next action was even more shocking - with thunderous force, he suddenly and severely punished some of the most treacherous and evil people in the capital.

This move caught the wealthy and powerful people who were associated with the bully off guard, but it won warm applause and cheers from the people.

Their respect and admiration for the new emperor instantly reached an unprecedented level, as if he was a messenger sent by God to save them.

For a time, the entire capital city was caught up in a frenzy of "Xiao Chenyi fever".

The teahouse is crowded with people every day and every seat is occupied.

People listened with great interest to the storyteller telling the legendary stories before Xiao Chenyi ascended the throne, as well as the glorious military exploits he had made on the battlefield.

Of course, it certainly couldn't be said that it was Xiao Chenyi's. Ever since one person used the pronoun Mr. Wu, everyone started using Mr. Wu instead, as if someone had notified them.

So much so that as long as the protagonist of the storyteller was Mr. Wu, everyone knew that it was undoubtedly the story of the new emperor.

All the previous stories with the surname Wu changed their names quietly.

There is no other reason. There can only be one Mr. Wu. No one can be confused.

The theater was even more lively, with various plays featuring Xiao Chenyi (Mr. Wu) being performed every day.

For example, Mr. Wu showed extraordinary wisdom and lofty ambitions even when he was poor;

Or, in the face of the passionate pursuit of a rich girl, Mr. Wu was determined and not moved by money. He was determined to marry the woman he truly loved, regardless of whether she was rich or poor, he only pursued true love.

Those women from wealthy families waited in the theater all day long.

Whenever they see the plot in the drama, they can't help but put themselves into the story, imagining that they are the lady from a noble family who Xiao Chenyi falls in love with at first sight, and they feel very excited.

As a result, the teahouse and theater business was booming.

The news that someone in the court suggested that the new emperor select a concubine had already spread. Some people knew about it earlier than Xiao Chenyi.

The big bosses of teahouses and theaters refused.

Only when the new emperor does not take concubines or hold beauty contests can the story be told!

To put it bluntly, which woman would like a man who has three wives and four concubines and a house full of concubines?

It is because Xiao Chenyi only has his wife around him that women of marriageable age have fantasies. Only women from wealthy families would come and spend money to listen to the opera.

If Xiao Chenyi had a hundred concubines around him, who would still have fantasies? I guess no one would come to listen to the opera.

What will happen to their teahouse and theater business?

Bosses who were used to making huge amounts of money began to feel anxious.

In the court, an old minister with a goatee, with a smile on his face, loudly proposed: "Your Majesty, now that you have just ascended the throne, the harem is empty. In order to continue the royal bloodline, I think we should hold a selection and recruit more girls into the harem."

Although he tried his best to hide it, everyone could see that his eyes were shining with excitement: The emperor must be very happy, he helped the emperor a lot! He spoke for the emperor!

I wonder if the emperor will give him a promotion and a raise if he is happy?

How can he take all the good things for himself?

The other ministers were unwilling to lag behind and echoed:

"Your Majesty, I second the motion. The selection of candidates concerns the country and society and cannot be delayed."

"Your Majesty, we implore Your Majesty to hold a beauty pageant to expand the royal family."

Xiao Chenyi frowned slightly. He already had his own unique ideas and considerations about the talent show and the harem.

What Yun Xi said before struck his heart like a bolt of lightning.

She said that when a man pursues many women, it is not a sign of true strength, but a sign of lack of confidence and a vanity behavior in which he relies on women to affirm himself.

Many men are not good at anything, and only by bullying weak women can they feel like men.

In fact, this behavior is more like a stud of a woman, working hard for a different woman every night.

The large number of concubines in the harem will create various obstacles for the emperor, making it impossible for him to do things fairly and impartially.

When Xiao Chenyi thought about himself becoming a tool for those women to plow the fields, he couldn't help but shiver all over.

He decisively refused: "I do not agree to the selection of concubines. Relying on women to stabilize the court is a cowardly act. I should govern the country with my own abilities, not relying on the power of the harem."

After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers were stunned: Why were things different from what they had expected?

How can a man reject a woman?

Does the emperor have any concerns?

Maybe the emperor refused on purpose in order to show his deep affection in front of the queen?

The ministers looked at each other. Although they were confused, they did not dare to say anything more.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne and may still have difficulties, so let him take it easy first.

They went back to discuss it and came up with a rule that would not embarrass the new emperor and would allow him to smoothly select concubines.
