First Emperor

Chapter 182 Shangrong Has a Female Name Qingjun (Part 2)
"My subordinates think that they can choose women who know about etiquette from among the princes, ministers and princes in the court. This way, they can satisfy the number of the harem without disturbing the people. It's the best of both worlds. I don't know what your majesty thinks?"

All the ministers in the palace heard that some of them couldn't help thinking, if the women in the mansion had a chance to be selected by Yin Xin, then they would be rich and powerful from now on, and they could also rise to the top.

Prime Minister Shang Rong and Abi Gan looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

Just now Yin Xin didn't pursue their crimes, it was really lucky, if he dared to speak again, it might really be impossible to end.

"I also ask your majesty to issue an order." Empress Jiang Yaojing stepped forward, bowed to Yin Xin and begged for her order.

"Forget it, the queen will personally supervise it."

Yin Xin seemed a little tired, waved his hand, didn't say any more, and handed over the matter to Jiang Yaojing to deal with.

"The concubine will not disgrace her life."

Jiang Yaojing hurriedly bowed and saluted. "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that the draft should be held once a year in the spring, so as to ensure the flourishing of the King's bloodline! I hope Your Majesty will allow it."

Yin Xin couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, Jiang Yaojing's reason was so far-fetched that he was speechless.

If His Royal Highness and all the ministers were not watching, he would really have laughed out loud. At this moment, he was holding back really hard.

"Holding an audition once a year is not good for the people. It can't be done. Once every two years, three people will be selected at one time. On the day of the audition, the age will be between 16 and [-] years old. Zitong thinks this is good?" Yin Xin thought for a while, Finally said dumbfoundingly.

"Uh..." Jiang Yaojing just looked at Yin Xin like that, and finally had to bow slightly. "The concubine listens to the king."

"Do you have any objections?" Yin Xin couldn't help but turned to the courtiers who had returned to their seats, and said.

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the ministers are seconding." Hearing Yin Xin's words, all the ministers couldn't help but praise from the bottom of their hearts.

"What do you think, Prime Minister and Yaxiang?" Yin Xin couldn't help turning to the Prime Minister and Yaxiang who were sitting at the top.

"The old minister seconded the proposal." Prime Minister Shang Rong and Ya Bigan didn't dare to say more.

"In this case, Zitong will follow the rules, and there is no need to ask for another order." Yin Xin took Jiang Yaojing's hand and patted.

"The concubine would like to obey the imperial decree." Jiang Yaojing hurriedly knelt down on the ground, responding.

Jiang Yaojing asked the order to stand up and turned to the officials in the hall.

"My lords, this is the great grace of the emperor, and the grace of the ministers. If there are women of the right age in the residence of the ministers, they can present the name and date of birth to the palace within three days. If they do not respect the emperor's favor, they will be punished as disrespectful." , I hope all of you dear ones will cherish it!"

All the ministers accepted the order to thank you.

There are people of the right age in the house, and they are all secretly happy, but the face of Prime Minister Shang Rong has changed drastically at this moment.

Fei Zhong and You Hun kept glancing at Prime Minister Shang Rong from the corner of their eyes, and they saw Shang Rong's eyes.

In fact, it wasn't just them, Yin Xin also noticed the change in his expression.

Yin Xin's desire to choose a concubine this time is nothing more than to improve the prime minister's business appearance, and at the same time to exercise his muscles again with Xibo Hou Jichang.

Late at night, after the banquet, Yin Xin and Jiang Yao went back to the central palace.

"Your Majesty, will the Prime Minister present the list of his daughters?" Jiang Yaojing couldn't help discussing it curiously while helping Yin Xin change her clothes.

"If it is according to his nature, he should meet, otherwise it is disrespectful. And just now in the banquet hall, his family has a young girl who has grown up, and he mentioned it in the hall. If he doesn't hand it in, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor? At that time, he will be wise all his life, and even the line of Shang Rong's family will be damaged! His reputation will be ruined." Yin Xin believes that Shang Rong should not dare to disobey, but the final result depends on how the little girl of Shang Rong's family treats Ji. Hair is multi-purpose.

"What the king said is very true." Jiang Yaojing nodded in agreement when she heard the words.

"Gu has already asked Fei Zhong and You Hun to keep an eye on him, and he has ordered Taoist Mosquito to send out clones. If they want to run away, they may not be able to fly. I hope Shang Rong can understand the general situation in order to preserve their family lineage. But I am too lonely I hope it ends like this, otherwise it will be no fun for Marquis Xibo! The only thing we want is to punish Ji Fa for his crime."

There was a ruthless smile on the corner of Yin Xin's mouth. He had always regarded Xiqi as a thorn in his flesh. If the Battle of the Conferred Gods hadn't started yet, he couldn't help but want to kill Xiqi and wipe Xiqi away. .

But to wipe out Xiqi, Chanjiao will definitely find another way to support the other princes. At that time, his eyes will be dimmed, and it may be difficult to control the situation in advance.

"From this moment on, Ji Fa, if he really dares to touch Shang Rong's daughter, it will be tantamount to a crime of treason. Although Shang Rong's daughter has not yet entered the palace, the decree has been made. Women of the right age are not allowed to choose a son-in-law until the end of the draft. Only those who are selected can become free people, otherwise they are not allowed to marry at will, or they will disobey the imperial decree and blaspheme the grace of heaven. Let's see how the old man Shang Rong can break this move of your majesty." Jiang Yaojing looked like she was joking, but she also I can't get used to Shang Rong, especially in today's court, he even obstructed Yin Xin's choice of concubine, and said so many nonsense.

If it wasn't for the fear of missing Di Xin's explanation, she really wanted to reason with him, but Fei Zhong and You Hun were really good, and they helped him out.

Yin Xin smiled. "Aifei, don't be angry. Some things need to be done step by step, everything is under control!"

"En." Jiang Yaojing nodded.

"However, even if Ji Fa dares to touch Shang Rong's daughter, Gu will not do anything to her. He just wants to give Ji Chang some color and let him be more honest. It is also a warning."

Yin Xin took a deep breath and sighed slightly, it wasn't that he didn't want to deal with Xiqi, it's just that now is not the time.

Yin Xin was also very helpless.

Prime Minister's Office.

Shang Rong got off the sedan chair and hurried into the mansion, it was already late at night.

"Master..." Shang Rong returned to the backyard, and Mrs. Shang Rong's authentic wife came out to welcome her, followed by several wives and concubines.

"Did Qing Jun ever take a rest?" Shang Rong took the tea offered by his wife, drank it in one gulp, and then asked.

"She and Fa'er are in the study!"

"Go find her! I have something to tell her." Shang Rong took a deep breath, and he would come whenever he was afraid.

This matter is of great importance, and he dare not be negligent in the slightest.

He has gone through three dynasties and has been neither humble nor overbearing all his life, but at this moment his heart is churning. He knows that Fei Zhong and You Hun know the details of his mansion, and that today's hall is clearly done deliberately, just to make it difficult for him to step down.

Shang Rong knew very well that since Fei Zhong and You Hun knew that he had a girl who was over [-] years old and was on the draft list, if he didn't report it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

If the two find a gap, not only he, but also the merchant family may be implicated, and the reputation of nearly a hundred years may be lost overnight. He must not let this happen.

But if this matter is to be prevented from developing in a bad direction, then he has to give up something, and what he has to give up is his most beloved daughter.
