Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 363 Put yourself in order (2)
After all, his harem has no shortage of heirs. Whether he enters the harem or not has little influence. Besides, having more princes and daughters is not a blessing. There are enough princes in the previous dynasty, but so what in the end?Kill, kill, imprisoned, imprisoned, since this is the case, why should so many princes be born to cause trouble.

What's more, there are more and more children of the royal family today. After the feudal clan, it is necessary to increase the expenditure of the national treasury. Why bother?
After a few words, all the courtiers who refuted were speechless.

If there are still those who refuse to let go, Emperor Xiande will let them pick themselves off first, and then come to remonstrate.

Fortunately, those who jumped were the families of a few military generals, most of whom were foreign relatives, and there were a few officials and civil servants. Most of the servants and others remained silent.

For them, they only care about whether the emperor has an heir, when the East Palace will be established, etc., and don't care about other things. Besides, the emperor really has no shortage of sons.

What's more, the concubines in Emperor Xiande's harem are only the daughters of two civil servants, one is Guo Changxi and the other is Li Concubine, it doesn't matter who the emperor favors.

Moreover, Mrs. Chu has a good reputation among the people. She donated two prescriptions and didn't say anything, and she didn't ask His Majesty to do something that harms the people and benefits herself. What she did was all good deeds. It is by no means a disaster for the country and the people. In this case, they all turned a blind eye to the matter of the emperor favoring Mrs. Chu, otherwise they would have started admonishing them long ago.

Emperor Xiande would keep all the papers of this kind of request for the establishment of the East Palace. Afterwards, everyone knew that His Majesty had no intention of setting up a reserve, so no one mentioned it.Unexpectedly, now, another person who is not long-sighted will come up.

Emperor Xian De naturally knew who did the trick, because these people were more or less related to the harem.

"Yang Yong, have you found out what I asked you to investigate?" Now that Emperor Xiande knew what was going on, he silently remembered it in his heart, and began to ask about the things he cared about.

Yang Yong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the incense used by Lu Cairen is actually the so-called opioid, also known as opium, which has always been used as medicine, some made into pills, some made into powder, and some Made into incense, because it comes from Fanbang, its value is comparable to gold, but it has a huge disadvantage, that is, it is easy to be addicted to, and once you become dependent, it will be difficult to leave this kind of thing.”

Emperor Xian De nodded, he had actually expected it a long time ago, and asked again: "Where did Lu Cairen get this kind of thing?"

Yang Yong said: "It should be given to her by Mrs. Wu Qingbo. Moreover, Uncle Wu Qing's mansion is indeed closely related to a force, but it is not clear who is that force? There are signs that this force is most likely the White Lotus Sect."

"White Lotus Sect?" Emperor Xiande murmured, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. Although the White Lotus Sect has been dormant, its power is almost all over the country. Time, I don't know when it started to show up again. The most important thing is that during the Taizu period, there was even a rebellion of the White Lotus Sect who proclaimed himself emperor, and there were many riots. Wouldn't this make them fearful?

"The daughter of the abolished prince? The White Lotus Sect?" Emperor Xian De narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer: "The Wuqing uncle's mansion really has a lot of plans, maybe they are coveting the chair I'm sitting on here? "

Hearing this, Yang Yong couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. This... the Wuqing uncle's mansion thinks that he didn't die fast enough or something?Is His Majesty's throne something they can covet?
To really think that the White Lotus Sect can really shake His Majesty's country is simply ridiculous.

Now is not the time when this dynasty was just established.

"Yang Yong, you continue to have people monitor the Uncle Wuqing's mansion. You are not allowed to startle the snake. Pay close attention to the movements of the White Lotus Sect, and record all the forces that have close contacts with the Uncle Wuqing's mansion, and then they will be accounted for."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Yong immediately understood that His Majesty might be about to kill this time.

Emperor Xiande's ascension to the throne went very smoothly. After all, the previous emperor had paved the way for him long ago. Even if the power in the court changed, it was not drastic, but a blood exchange was completed quietly, and not many people died. Once, it was the first time His Majesty was about to kill someone.

Back then, during the month of the abolished prince's rebellion case, many people died almost every day, and the smell of blood seemed to be in the air. It was really a dark month.Yang Yong was still young at that time, but he had a deep impression of this incident, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but shudder.

Emperor Xian De dealt with some government affairs, and when the evening approached, he actually left the palace again.

This made all the concubines grit their teeth with hatred, the faces of the empress and the fourth concubine changed drastically, and Lu Jingyi became even more disappointed and even resentful, and her heart was filled with unwillingness, causing her to drop a teacup on the spot .

If she hadn't been favored before, she wouldn't be so sad, but now, she has tasted the many benefits of His Majesty's favor, and when her self-confidence and ambition are extremely inflated, as a result, His Majesty was again favored by Chu State. Madam hooked away, how could she be reconciled?How can she stand it?
No matter how resentful the imperial concubine was, in short, Emperor Xian De appeared in Mrs. Chu's residence again.

When she arrived, Su Wan was reading a book on the kang in Xici Room. At this moment, her body has recovered a lot. Apart from coughing, there is no serious problem.

Emperor Xian De didn't disturb her, and after waving his hand to let her head back down, he walked over and took Su Wan's book out of her hand, put it on the kang table, and said: "It's getting dark, so don't read any more, so as not to hurt you." Eye."

Seeing Emperor Xiande coming, Su Wan's expression remained unchanged, she got up and bowed her knees to salute him: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

But before bowing down, Su Wan was supported by Emperor Xiande.

Emperor Xian De frowned and looked at her, and said: "Wan'er, why do you have such a relationship with me?"

Su Wan lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be discarded. The concubine has reflected on it. In the past, the concubine was too casual and rude to the majesty. Fortunately, the majesty was tolerant and did not care about the concubine. Otherwise, the concubine might be a brain." It’s not enough to chop. The concubine has already reflected on it, and she will definitely correct her mistakes in the future.”

When Emperor Xian De heard this, he immediately felt his chest was tight and his heart was very blocked, but he had nothing to do with Su Wan, because even if he was angry with himself, he couldn't be angry with Su Wan.

So, he quickly adjusted his mood, held Su Wan's hand, and asked with a nonchalant smile, "Wan'er, is your illness better? But what's wrong?"

Su Wan still lowered her head slightly, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, my concubine is much better now."
