Prince Regent's Concubine

Eunuch Zhou Qi brought two young eunuchs to distribute a piece of paper to each of the ministers present, and Xiao Chuyi also had one. He glanced at the content on it, it was the data statement on the danger of inbreeding that he presented to the emperor, Dozens of copies were copied and distributed to everyone.

Many people looked at it and immediately called it impossible, but the names on it were not fake. These people have all been there, alive and dead, and there are traces to be found.

The emperor glanced at the reactions of the crowd, and chuckled lightly, "My dear friends, you have finished reading, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

There is still something to say, after all, not everyone is deformed and foolish, there are always good people, especially the prince, everyone has the ability to fight for the throne, no matter how you look at it, you are not stupid.

Immediately, someone flattered the emperor, "The emperor is the son of a real dragon, and the son he gave birth to is also a son of a dragon. He must be extremely intelligent and will accomplish a lot in the future. How can other ordinary people compare to it?"

"It is the destiny of the emperor. This deformed fool is just an evil wind entering his body. With the protection of the emperor, it is impossible for the prince to be affected by the evil wind. The so-called close relatives of the emperor's heir will definitely not have any influence."

The emperor asked with a smile, "If so, Aiqing, will you be responsible for my prince?"

"I dare not, I..."

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor, he didn't say the rest of the words. If there is no accident, if something happens, who can take the responsibility, let alone be responsible, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my head.

There are many royal heirs, some survived, but many died at a young age, and many of them suffered from various diseases and disabilities since birth, but they were not known to outsiders, and those children were mostly dealt with quietly Yes, after all, the Tian family does not allow such princes and daughters to exist.

There are far more secrets hidden in this palace than imagined, and the lives lost in it are even more incalculable.

The emperor didn't care about the kneeling man, and looked at the others, "My dear friends, how about you, can you take this responsibility?"

Everyone knelt down at this question, and all the ministers dared not.

"Since you dare not, let's talk about the rules and etiquette of our ancestors, Zhou Qi!"

The emperor called out, and Zhou Qi hurriedly sent out a message, "Please Xiao's family rules, please Da Chu's laws~"

The sound spread outside, and soon a guard appeared on the main hall holding two books. The emperor directly called the Minister of Rites to read Xiao's family rules. The reason for entering the palace, the courtiers couldn't answer.

Then the emperor asked the minister of the Ministry of punishment to read the laws of Dachu, and asked them to listen carefully and answer the same question after listening. Is this written in the law.

Naturally, this is not written in the law and it is impossible to write it, not to mention the royal family, the common people are all cousins ​​after all, which is called kissing and adding kisses.

At this moment, these people also understand that it is not the rules or the ancestral etiquette. No one can force the emperor to marry a woman from the three clans. This kind of thing depends on the emperor's willingness. The previous emperor was willing. Now this one is unwilling, and if they say anything else, they will be suspected of persecution.

"It's not in the law. I think it should be added to let the people all over the world know how dangerous it is to marry close relatives. However, the people's ideas about this kind of thing can't be changed for a while, and the officials below need to do their best to inform the people. It is only necessary to state the harm, and to convince the people that there must be something that can be sold. This matter is left to the Ministry of Punishment, just like the number on the paper, go to a few more villages or cities to investigate, Bring it back to me."

After the emperor finished speaking, the Minister of Criminal Affairs hadn't received the decree, and the relatives of the emperor started to shout again, among which Ling He and An Ninghou were the leaders, "Your Majesty, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

The emperor glanced at the two of them, "Teacher Ling, and Hou Sheng An Ning, why don't you talk to me about it?"

The two stood up, and Ling He spoke first, "Your Majesty, the people are suffering, and ordinary people can hardly even eat and clothe themselves warmly. It is really costly to marry a wife. If you can marry a relative of the mother's family, the cost will be even higher." It is much smaller, so that you can marry a wife and have children. If the prohibition of intermarriage within the three clans is added to the law, how many men will not be able to marry a wife, and I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among many people."

The Marquis of An Ning also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your ministers seconded the proposal. What Ling Taifu said is true. What the people want is to marry wives and have children to live a peaceful life. If the first two things are not there, there will be no peaceful life. People are not at peace." , I'm afraid... I'm afraid that many mobs will be born."

To make the consequences more serious, after they spoke, other people seconded, as if adding this law would cause chaos in the world.

Xiao Chuyi only acted as a listener, and never opened his mouth. Even when the emperor cast a questioning look, he ignored him, and on the other side he continued to label him, and the emperor's anger suddenly flared up.

"Enough! This harms that harm. The world is so prone to chaos, so what is the use of you ministers? Is it possible that I raise a bunch of trash who can only talk and do nothing else?"

"Since that's the case, what kind of officials are you still doing? I think you might as well take off your hats and go home to farm as soon as possible. Tell me about the sufferings of the people, but I want to calculate with you. Which one of you is not You have been an official for more than ten years, what have you done for the country and the people all these years, to make the people suffer so much, you can’t even marry a wife and start a family.”

"Are you worthy of this official robe, and are you worthy of the salary given to you by the imperial court?"

The emperor is not very old, his voice is clear and crisp, or the slightly immature voice of a young man. The whole hall is filled with his voice. Although he is young, he already has the aura of an emperor. It is this immature voice that many people ask. He lowered his head, facelessly facing the emperor.

The courtiers Qi Huchen and others were guilty, knelt down completely, the emperor took a deep breath, "I know you are guilty, you don't think about the common people, you only want to study how to be in power and benefit yourself all day long, of course you are guilty!"

"Whether you obstructed me from carrying out this law of non-marriage within the three clans is for the common people or for your own selfishness. I know very well. I don't lack you courtiers who want to send women to my harem. I don't want to do it anymore." Leave as soon as possible, there are many people in the world who are willing to be officials and do things for the country and the people!"

Now that he opened his mouth, the emperor simply put his words to the bottom. After all, he is young now, not afraid of things, and there are people above him to support him. These people have to weigh what they want to do. He wants them to be afraid of him, but It is also true that he has no shortage of courtiers, and he doesn't believe that he can't choose a few good courtiers.

Speaking of this matter, no one dared to stop him, otherwise he might be taken off his hat on the spot.

But at the same time, they were also startled. The emperor, who is always easy to talk, seems to be a different person today, and the regent has never spoken. Could it be that the emperor ordered these words today again?
