Wei Wuhou

Chapter 733 Zhaohou 18 Years

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is snowing heavily, and the cold winter has enveloped the entire Wei country!

Zhaohou's first court meeting in December 18 ended in the snow, and the courtiers continued to walk outside the palace gate.

At today's Great Court Meeting, it was like an earthquake to the courtiers. The monarch punished another twenty senior officials, including two county guards.

The downfall of these twenty officials is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the family, but they can only bear it!

The evidence of these people being corrupt and breaking the law and playing tricks... was all listed by the monarch, and the real evidence is as solid as a mountain.

Under such circumstances, other people can't say anything, who made Wei Wuji stand on the stand of justice!

Of course, after demoting a group of officials, a successor must be appointed...

At the court meeting, Wei Wuji directly carried out this work, and the twenty vacancies were filled immediately.

Interestingly, only half of the [-] vacancies come from aristocratic families, and the rest are promoted by people from poor families.

Although the aristocratic family accounts for a lot of half, but in the past... the appointment of the frontier officials, there will be shadows of people from poor families.

Two months ago, the monarch accepted the women of the noble family as wives and concubines, and turned around and attacked the noble clan. This shook the trust that had been hard-won between the monarch and his ministers.

But Wei Wuji still did this, because in his opinion, although he still needs to use the aristocratic family to govern the world, it is not relying on it.

This kind of method of using and fighting is the only way to control the courtiers. What Wei Wuji needs to guard against is that these people are passive and sabotage, which can be completely handed over to Feng Yingsi.

That's right, the Zhangan Guards Department, which was not seen in the light at the beginning, has all been merged into the Fengying Division, and this huge spy agency has resumed its operation.

It was also because of the efforts of the Fengying Division that Wei Wuji was able to produce so much evidence to bring down all the twelve high-ranking officials.

…………

The previous dynasty was over, but the wives and concubines of Wei Wuji's harem had just greeted the Queen Mother and left.

Originally, they could go back to their own palaces at this time, but today they still have to go to Cao Xin's place.

Today, Cao Xin called everyone together for one reason. Today is the time for Princess Zhou to meet them formally.

Wei Gong did not have a clear hierarchy. After Wei Wuji succeeded to the throne, in order to distinguish between upper and lower, a five-level concubine system was established.

The lowest level is the lover, and then the beauty, the concubine, and the concubine... Of course, there is also the highest level of Queen Wei (wife), which is the position of Cao Xin.

Including the five wives and concubines included in the family, there are now nine people in Wei Wuji's harem, which is quite a lot.

Although there are nine people, but now in Cao Xin Palace, there are only eight people including Cao Xin herself, and Ji Wanyue herself is missing.

Because she gave birth to a daughter for Wei Wuji, Huan'er has now been upgraded to Rou Concubine, and because she was born in Chendi, Wei Wuji gave her the name Chen Huan'er.

Lan'er, who also followed Wei Wuji for a long time, was also given the name Dan Lan and named Lan Meiren because of her backing to the Queen Mother.

As for the five women born in the aristocratic clans, except for those from the Zhang and Zhao clans who were named beauties, the other three were all named the lowest level of beauties.

As for Ji Wanyue, who is going to be introduced today, everyone envied her as Concubine Shu, the only concubine in the harem.

During the waiting period, Zhang Meiren, who was sitting at the bottom, rolled up her sleeves, and then slowly said: "Madam, although that is the princess of the Zhou family, you are the master of the harem, how can she be so negligent!"

Cao Xin on the main seat did not change her face, making it difficult to guess her mood at this time, while Huan'er and Lan'er on the side were stunned.

Seeing some silence, Zhao Meiren, who had formed an alliance with Zhang Meiren, said: "Madam, what Zhang Meiren said is reasonable...Even if the emperor loves her, Concubine Shu should not go beyond the palace rules!"

To be honest, although Cao Xin couldn't see anything on her face, she was full of jealousy in her heart.

It has been five days since the princess of the Zhou family formally entered the Wei Palace, but Wei Wuji spent the night with her during the five days, ignoring the other concubines in the harem...

Cao Xin could bear these things, but she couldn't bear them...or what she was worried about was whether the princess of the Zhou family would take her husband away completely.

Although Cao Xin is also confident that she has a deep relationship with Wei Wuji and his wife, but Wei Wuji's posture now makes her doubt it.

After the two beauties spoke, the three beauties below couldn't bear it anymore, and they all started talking in low voices!

Zhang and Zhao looked at each other and smiled, the rhythm was finally brought up!
Although they were young, the two of them came from a wealthy family after all, so they were naturally very familiar with this kind of intrigue.

Concubine Shu obviously has a sign of developing into a favorite concubine, provoking a conflict between Empress Wei and Chong Concubine, so that the two will lose both in the fight, so they have a chance to go up.

But no matter how jealous she was, Cao Xin herself had a clear mind, so she naturally knew what kind of wishful thinking these people were planning.

After Cao Xin glanced at the girls below, she said coldly: "You keep talking about the rules of the harem, so don't tell me the rules of the harem are for you to make a lot of noise?"

Cao Xin is the empress of the palace, and the people below were also frightened when she got angry, so these five people hurriedly stood up and confessed!
But at this time, Zhang and Zhao knew in their hearts that they had already planted the seeds of resentment in Cao Xin's heart, and they were waiting to take root and sprout in the future.

At this time, Ji Wanyue, who was just left behind by Tan Ji, also rushed outside Cao Xin Palace...

After slowly entering the main hall of the palace, Ji Wanyue had no choice but to bow down when facing Cao Xin, the wife of the noble Zhou family.

"My concubine pays her respects!" Ji Wanyue paid her respects.

To be honest, if others might still have the pride of a princess, they would not kneel down easily, but Ji Wanyue didn't have these thoughts.

To be able to successfully marry into the Wei Palace and become a woman she loves is already very satisfying for Ji Wanyue, these external etiquettes are not important to her.

"Sister, get up quickly..." Cao Xin smiled, got up and came to Ji Wanyue's side, and slowly helped her up.

Originally, Ji Wanyue thought that Mrs. Wei was not easy to get along with, but Cao Xin's enthusiastic behavior undoubtedly dispelled her thinking.

Then Cao Xin took her seat again, and Ji Wanyue, as the second concubine Shu, sat in the front seat of Cao Xin's lower head.

Zhang and Zhao, who were provocative just now, were smiling after seeing Ji Wanyue, as if they had complained just now.

Even at this time, Zhang Meiren said to Ji Wanyue: "I heard that Concubine Shu's sister looks like a fairy, but now she really doesn't look like a vulgar fan in the world... No wonder the prince wants to propose to the emperor!"

Zhang Meiren opened her mouth, and Zhao Meiren, who was on the same front as her, continued: "Zhang Meiren is right... If it weren't for that, how could Junhou be so lingeringly obsessed with sister Shu Fei after she entered the palace!"

If this was said to Concubine Shu in private, it would be a very good flattery, but it was said in front of Cao Xin.

It has to be said that although Zhang and Zhao are only seventeen or eighteen years old, they are deep-minded people. Holding Ji Wanyue at this time is also to stimulate Cao Xin.

After Zhang and Zhao, the remaining three women from the aristocratic clan praised Ji Wanyue herself, but she could also feel a bit of weirdness in the atmosphere.

So many people are complimenting Ji Wanyue, which makes Cao Xin, who is in the main position, really upset, even if she controls it well, it won't help.

Seeing everyone surrounding Ji Wanyue, Cao Xin couldn't help asking herself, who is the real wife?
As for Cao Xin, Lan'er and Huan'er were the only ones who didn't speak at this time. The three of them were old people when Wei Wuji hid in his residence, and they naturally became a united front at this time.

Although jealous in her heart, Cao Xin can still control her emotions, and she also knows that she must control her emotions.

Of course, the more important thing is that Cao Xin will not let people be used as gunmen. The purpose of the aristocratic woman is too obvious, of course she will not be fooled!

…………

There were battles in the former dynasty and the harem, and Wei Zhaohou's 18 years was in this battle, and it gradually came to an end... And the next one will be a new era, which belongs to Wei Wuji's era.
