Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Those wealthy and powerful families were immediately unhappy when they saw this.

If all the family property were divided like this.

After several generations, what will be left in the hands of their descendants?

Moreover, if the property is divided like this, everyone will have the same property, so how can there be any cohesion in the family?

Originally, they knew that they would not get any share, so those illegitimate sons and daughters would just accept their fate.

If this law were to come out, I'm afraid all the children in the family would fight over it.

When they see that their children can take the initiative to propose separation and can take away their share of the property in advance after the separation, they become even more anxious.

"Your Majesty! No! The division of this property is everyone's family affair, how can it be enforced?"

The emperor sneered, "That's not what you said when you asked me to choose a concubine to bear children."

"My family affairs are state affairs. Are your family affairs not state affairs?"

At this time, the female official in the court stood up and said, "Your Majesty is right. Nowadays, there are many illegitimate sons and daughters who cannot get a share of the family property and are living a very difficult life."

"Some even have to go to charity to get free food. It's good that you ministers have money at home, but your children won't lack food."

"But some children of the people have fallen to the point where they have to be raised by Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is just one person. Even with the princess' help, how much money can he make to support these people?"

When the female official said this, her eyes swept over several leading ministers in the court.

"As far as I know, there are many dirty things going on in the homes of many adults."

"How many children have died in this mansion? Have you ever asked about this?"

"How many adults have so many wives and concubines that the children in the mansion may not even remember them all."

"Some of them live worse than the servants in the mansion."

"If His Majesty doesn't care, are you all going to follow the example of the common people and leave them to His Majesty to take care of?"

Another female official also stood up at this time.

"In fact, there is no need for you to worry. This policy is not completely unsolvable."

"As long as you marry fewer wives and concubines and stay with your wife until old age, you will naturally not have these doubts."

The adults who were named were immediately furious. These women not only wanted to stop them from taking concubines.

It's really shameless to say it in public.

"You women, how can you still have the modesty of a woman?"

"No wonder none of them can get married!"

The female officials were not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so angry."

"In the court, everyone should discuss the matter at hand. Why attack people personally? Did we hit a sore spot?"

"That's why adults lose their composure like this."

At this time, another female official opened her eyes exaggeratedly, "Oh, I thought, this gentleman has a lot of concubines at home, right?"

"It is said that there are so many children in the family that they cannot be counted. I am afraid that this adult himself does not know how many children he has."

The emperor smiled when he heard these female officials of low status speak so boldly.

He also echoed, "Are you acting so presumptuous in the court because you see these female officials as women of low status?"

"I remember you were always a good person before, why are you so impatient today?"

Wang Tongfu knew that he could no longer hold back, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this colleague was just in a hurry and spoke rudely."

"I think this matter needs further consideration."

As soon as Wang Tongfu finished speaking, an official who had passed the imperial examination objected.

"I think Lord Murong's move is brilliant."

"I believe that there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and all children in a family should be treated equally."

……

The emperor watched the stalemate between the two sides quietly and glanced at Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong immediately stepped forward with a group of imperial censors.

The crowd, which had been noisy, suddenly quieted down.

Wang Tongfu, who was familiar with the emperor's tricks, thought to himself that this was not good.

"I'm afraid the emperor is going to take action against someone again."

The other officials couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their heads, hoping that Wei Zhong would not target them.

However, as soon as Wei Zhong opened his mouth, everyone present broke into a cold sweat.

Almost all the high-ranking people present were reported by that old fellow Wei Zhong.

They looked at Wei Zhong with hatred and kept cursing him in their hearts. Not only that, they also regretted that they did not stop him from being promoted that year, and let him become the Imperial Censor.

They all regretted their decision.

But as Wei Zhong listed the charges one by one, their expressions instantly froze.

They couldn't believe their ears.

How did these things that they hid in secret passages or hidden places in their homes get into the hands of that old man Wei Zhong?

They racked their brains but couldn't figure it out.

Only Wang Tongfu's face turned completely black.

All Wei Zhong was talking about were Wang Ran's bad friends.

This would explain why things they hid so secretly could be taken away by others.

And those guys chose to join the army at the same time.

Before, he thought that Wang Ran ran away with those guys because he was afraid of being suppressed by him. Now it seems that he was just going there to seek refuge.

If he can escape this time, he must kill that guy.

The officials who were impeached immediately cried and wailed in front of the emperor, saying that they had never done it and asked the emperor to see clearly.

But as the emperor produced more and more evidence, they gradually shut up.

There was resentment in their eyes; they could see that the emperor could no longer tolerate them.

They just didn't expect it to happen so soon. Fortunately, they have been accumulating strength in the past few years to prepare for such a day.

As long as they are trapped in the palace for more than five days without any movement, the soldiers they secretly raised will come to the palace to rescue them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court reached its peak.

Only Wei Zhong seemed unaware and continued to read out the evidence he had accumulated word by word.

The emperor looked at them with a smile and clapped his hands, "Come here, take them all away."

"Check it out for me."

The emperor then left the hall.

Only then did Wei Zhong follow, his expression serious.

"Your Majesty, is this an inappropriate move? You have detained so many important officials of the court at once."

"I'm afraid those noble families won't stop there. The people of the capital will also suffer from the disaster."

The emperor glanced at Wei Zhong and said, "Why don't you yell at me to execute them immediately now?"

Wei Zhong laughed awkwardly a few times, "Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me, your old minister."

"Your actions are so extraordinary now. I'm afraid they will be recorded in history books by someone with ulterior motives, and you will be cursed by future generations."

The emperor lowered his eyes, making it impossible for Wei Zhong to see the emperor's expression.

Wei Zhong only heard the emperor suddenly laugh out loud, "I just asked someone to investigate, I didn't do anything more excessive."

"If they are found to be innocent, they will be released naturally."

As the emperor spoke, he glanced at the eunuch at the corner, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
