After becoming the king of the subjugated country

Ji Chen didn't do anything else these days, he was busy offering incense to the old emperor and Ji Han.

The old emperor can just follow the procedure. He will be buried in about two days. There are not many concubines of the old emperor in the whole palace. After all, these people were almost killed by Queen Song. The problem is Ji Han here.

"... How much did you say??" Ji Chen couldn't help asking.

The crown princess stood a little further away, with a look of confusion on her face: "There are 17 famous concubines, all of whom are selected through serious drafts, and they are all girls from official families; there are 170 or four unnamed palace ladies. They are all good families selected from the people, and now they are all locked in the house, and they are not allowed to go out, so as to prevent them from causing trouble."

Ji Chen: "..."

How did Ji Han fall asleep with so many people!

However, Ji Han has already been lying in the coffin, and there is no way to answer this question at present.

Eunuch Xin also looked anxious, "Currently, the Crown Princess is leading the seventeen concubines to cry for the Crown Prince. The ministers don't know about these things yet."

Even Prime Minister Qin didn't take these trivial matters to heart.He only knew that Ji Han had summoned quite a few court ladies, but he thought that there were only a few people going back and forth, and it was not a big problem. Even if the last one went too far and he didn't even save his own life, it was also due to Ji Han's luck Bad sake.

This matter can't be exposed easily, otherwise the ministers will see that Ji Han is still the prince after all, and he guarded the late emperor with more than 100 concubines?Then the royal honor still needs to be lost.

Ji Chen pressed his eyebrows, "How old are these people?"

Eunuch Xin said: "About the age of sixteen or seventeen, you can almost get married outside the palace. Now that you have served the prince, even if you have no status, you should also guard it for the prince. From now on, you will be honest in the palace. Be a court lady."

Seeing that Ji Chen's expression was not right, Eunuch Xin quickly added: "These people were picked out by the princess, and I asked them about their wishes. They agreed to pursue prosperity and wealth, and now they should bear the consequences themselves. .”

The princess was pale and did not speak.

They are not such a fate.

Ji Chen was a little displeased, "Who hasn't made a wrong choice? There's no need to lose your whole life because of it."

Not being able to see her family all her life, having to stay in the palace, and being forced to stay alone for a lifetime for a man she only spent one night with, and having no one to rely on in old age, if it was really a punishment, it would be too much.

"Since the courtiers don't know, then don't let them know," Ji Chen said lightly, "First appease them, now that the timing is not right, let them go out of the palace and get married again after a year or so, and give each of them a share." The dowry is regarded as the compensation given by the palace, if you don’t want to leave the palace, then you can follow their wishes, and the dowry will also be given, just let them keep it by themselves.”

Eunuch Xin hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but ponder what Shang wanted. Does His Majesty like to treat people more generously?If he wants to follow suit, he doesn't have to be too harsh on the servants.

The Crown Princess stared blankly at Ji Chen, and said, "Your Majesty is merciful."

What about them?Do you want to be with the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns in the future?

Ji Chen didn't realize how many things he had done. Anyway, the country would be subjugated in the future, so he really didn't have much fear. Instead, he was very kind to the princess, "You helped me that day. If you want, you can give Ji Chen a favor first." Han keeps filial piety for a while, and after exhausting the friendship between husband and wife, he can marry someone else, or have other arrangements. Those concubines of the prince can also do the same, at worst, choose a good person first, don't be too anxious."

If you want to be more open, get out of the fire pit of the palace as soon as possible, and don't hang yourself on Ji Han's crooked neck tree.

Eunuch Xin's eyes widened immediately.

The Crown Princess couldn't help taking a step back, and said in panic: "I, how can we remarry? The ancestors' rules are like this. We are the Crown Prince's wives and concubines. Once we enter the palace, we cannot go out. The courtiers will not allow it."

"Why not?" Ji Chen just said: "They eat radish salty and don't worry about it. They control it too leniently, and even intervene when women get married again. I think they are in a hurry."

The Crown Princess didn't say whether it was good or bad, but she suddenly thought of Ning Wenzheng, a girl from the Ning family who was completely different from her, and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, can I go and see Miss Ning?"

Ning Wenzheng was five or six years younger than the Crown Princess, and the two of them only met a few times in a hurry, and they didn't communicate much.

"Okay," Ji Chen quickly agreed, "but she's in Zhuangzi now, you have to go to the palace to see her."

The princess was taken aback.

She only heard that Ning Wenzheng had to seal the sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Industry, and entered the court as a woman, causing an uproar, but shouldn't such a person sit in the yamen?

Hesitantly boarding the carriage, the Crown Princess even changed into simpler clothes before leaving the house to give herself enough mental training, but she was still taken aback when she saw Ning Wenzheng.

Ning Wenzheng used to wear a light blue skirt and a butterfly hairpin on her head, which was gentle and elegant, but now she changed into lighter men's clothes, simply tied her hair up, and wrote and drew on the construction site.

Standing in front of her were a dozen or so men dressed as contractors, all listening to her instructions, adding water to the mud balls, and then beating them.A few maids followed behind her and kept recording. Not far away, there was a hut that had already taken shape, and several craftsmen were measuring various data.

The princess suspected that she came at the wrong time, "Miss Ning, what are you doing?"

"Build bricks, repair houses." Ning Wenzheng really didn't have time to entertain her, "You can do whatever you want, I really don't have time."

The princess looked at her in surprise and couldn't believe her ears.

When she was in Kyoto, Ning Wenzheng was also a well-known noble lady, why did she come to do these things?

"Next, we need to reserve the location of the pigsty for them, and after repairing these, we will build the road." Ning Wenzheng said: "If you have nothing to do, you might as well leave earlier."

People around followed Ning Wenzheng's commanding movements, and occasionally someone glanced at the princess, and then quickly looked away.

Seeing that they were so busy, the Crown Princess couldn't help asking: "I have taken care of some affairs in the Eastern Palace, Zhongfu is also good at it, and it's okay to settle accounts. Miss Ning, do you need my help?"

She couldn't figure it out too much, so she had to get closer to Ning Wenzheng first.

"Thank you," Ning Wenzheng finally looked at her, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what should I call you?"

Now that the construction site is chaotic, it's hard to tell the true identity of the princess.

The Crown Princess smiled sincerely, and she felt a little better, "Yuan Su, my surname is Yuan, and I'm simple."

Except for her parents, almost no one knows her name.

Ning Wenzheng smiled suddenly and changed his attitude, "Madam Yuan, please."

Ji Chen hugged the pigeon and lay down on the couch bored.

Bai Qi went out of the palace to do some business. A few days ago, he wrote an edict of the late emperor for Ji Chen, and now he is busy writing poems to promote it; Qin Sheng is still checking the accounts of Huangjue Temple, and now Arguing with the Ministry of Household Affairs; Ji Shao is sorting out the plan, saying that it is necessary to manage the temples and Taoist temples in the whole country in a unified way, and monks and Taoists cannot be allowed to become monks at will, nor can they be allowed to be too carefree. Everything must have fixed rules; The minister's exclusion, he simply went to Zhuangzi to busy with construction, and the whole person was soaked there.

Tang Qian was out of the palace, he was not familiar with Ji Pei, obviously he didn't talk much, and his leg was injured, so he spent more than half of the day sleeping.

Ji Chen took an inventory of the people he met after he passed through. Among the young people, they seemed to be busy with their own affairs.

As for the elderly, they are all mature foxes, and Ji Chen doesn't want to play Tai Chi with them either.

"Xiaobai, I'm so bored." Ji Chen stroked the pigeon for a while, "I didn't expect to be so boring after becoming the emperor."

He felt like a lonely old man, alone in the palace.

Pigeon got its head out of Ji Chen's arms, and Mung Bean glanced at the ten plates of dim sum in front of him, quite satisfied.

Eat whatever you want, and order whatever you want.

After finishing his emotion, Ji Chen had to approve a lot of memorials.

There are still many ancient characters that I don’t know, so I called an eunuch to come over and read it. After reading it, Ji Chen took the memorial again, and threw the nonsense aside. If he said something serious, draw a circle if he agrees, and an X if he disagrees. , the approval comments will not be written at all.

As for the ministers, do you have any opinions?

Ji Chen said that as long as he is unreasonable, everything is not a problem.

Make the question and answer questions into judgment questions, and wait for Ji Chen to complete the circle and X after writing a large memorial, it is still very early.

"Why don't we go out of the palace?" Ji Chen asked.

"Coo coo coo." The pigeon patted its wings in agreement.

Just go.

Ji Chen casually ordered two guards, this time he went out even more concisely than last time, and bumped into Qin Sheng at the gate of the palace.

Qin Sheng was holding a pile of official documents in his arms, and Ji Chen was holding a pigeon in his hand.

Qin Sheng's complexion was unavoidably subtle, "Your Majesty—"

Ji Chen said quickly, "This mural is really good."

That is, I don't want to reveal my identity.

Qin Sheng sighed, "Young master, where are you going? Why don't you put on a guard of honor? Or let the idlers avoid it."

Ji Chen was unreasonable and angry, "Go out and walk casually, just two or three people are just right."

Qin Sheng's brain twitched and ached.

It's not that he objected to Ji Chen leaving the palace, it's just that Ji Chen was too careless, how could he not arrange enough candidates around him?

Qin Sheng tentatively handed over a jade pendant, "Why don't you ask my younger brother to accompany you for a walk?"

"Okay." Ji Chen took the jade pendant and readily agreed.

Walking near the prime minister's mansion, Ji Chen asked a guard to knock on the door with a jade pendant, and as expected, the son of the Qin family came out soon.

He is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he looks a little naive. He took a closer look at Ji Chen, and was amazed, "Wow, my brother actually has friends. I thought he would never make friends in his life. Doomed to be alone forever."

Ji Chen was taken aback, and put away the jade pendant, "Who are you?"

"My name is Qin Shu." Qin Shu's eyes were extraordinarily round, looking at Ji Chen, he said proudly: "Let's go, my brother's friend is my friend, I treat you, where do you want to go?"

"I want to find a place where I can listen to other people chatting," Ji Chen said.

Qin Shu pondered for a second, "Okay, no problem."

Ji Chen just found it funny, and followed him to a nearby teahouse.

The teahouse is being built a little far away from Qin's house. It occupies a large area. It has two floors. There are many ordinary people drinking tea there, and there are also many small vendors. object.

"The boss of this company is really powerful," Qin Shu introduced at the side: "It seems that he also has a backer. He takes the route of small profits but high sales, and there are quite a few customers who come and go, and there are all kinds of teachings."

Everyone gathered together to drink tea, talking about various topics by the way, and naturally gossip was indispensable.

From the girl from the east family who got married, to the boy from the west family who ran away from home.

From which adult was demoted, to which adult was greened by the room.

Finally, they finally talked about the royal family.

"It seems that it would be good to change the emperor? Now we can say a lot of things casually."

"Don't be too casual. If you are caught, it's not good."

"I've heard people say that the emperor now changes his memorials to draw circles or crosses. An adult said that the circles drawn by His Majesty are extraordinarily round, and the Xs drawn by His Majesty show their sharpness. He really deserves to be the Son of Dragon."

"Laughing to death, which treacherous official boasted this? A memorial is full of these things, so don't the ministers all look at how many circles there are in their memorial?"

Ji Chen just needs to keep his face expressionless.

Qin Shu was filled with emotion, "It's true that one generation is not as good as the next generation, at least the late emperor would seriously write a few words."

The people below have the same feeling.

"At any rate, the first emperor still picked up a pen to write a few words, but now the emperor doesn't write a single word."

"That's not bad, at least the emperor didn't say to use the treasury to repair the Golden Buddha."

"That's right, if you don't correct the memorial, don't change it, just be better than the first emperor."

"As long as the people are stable enough, in fact, even a pig will be fine sitting on the throne." Qin Shu couldn't help saying.

Ji Chen: "...??"

Now he really wants to know what his status is in the eyes of these people.

Seeing the fierce look in Ji Chen's eyes, Qin Shu quickly added: "My brother said this before."

Ji Chen silently put down the teacup, very good, he wrote it down.

When I go back, I will add more affairs to this bastard, Qin Sheng. He will not want to rest, and he will not want to cure his bald head.

The author has something to say:

Qin Shu: Betrayed Brother Online

small theater:

On a certain day, month, day, a neighboring country wanted to buy important memorials with ten thousand taels of gold, and wanted to analyze the psychological thoughts of Emperor Ji Chen of the Yue Kingdom, understand their national policy plans, and pry into the relationship between their monarchs and ministers.

Some ministers even suggested that the handwriting of the emperor of Yue should be forged and used to slander them in the future.

After receiving the news, Ji Chen quietly promoted the transaction and harvested a large amount of gold. The spy in charge escaped death and finally sent a box of memorials to the neighboring palace.

The emperor was overjoyed. He opened the memorial and saw that there was only an X at the end.

Open it again, and there are several circles.

After going through a box, everything is like this, and there is no one-word reply.

emperor:……

The courtier who made this suggestion:  …

So, why didn't Ji Chen write a word up?What can this analyze? !
