Many children bring happiness, starting from marrying a wife and starting to dominate the world

After deciding on the time to send out troops, Lu Chen discussed the appointment of officials with Zhuge Chongguang.

Most of the officials in the capital were still far less capable than the previous officials from the North. After all, Lu Chen had always let the officials from the North handle various matters independently, and Jin Yiwei had always supervised them.

Lu Chen didn't want to arrange the officials in the capital into important positions, but if they were not given suitable positions, I'm afraid those officials in the capital would feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, they followed him to Yancheng. Unlike those old fritters who were hanging around in the capital waiting to die, these officials still had certain ambitions.

How to arrange work for them involves many things.

After Lu Chen and Zhuge Chongguang finished discussing the appointment of officials, the sunset had already set, leaving only the red glow hanging on the horizon.

Seeing through the window that it was getting late, Lu Chen said, "Grandmaester, please go back today. We will discuss the appointment of officials tomorrow."

Zhuge Chongguang immediately stood up from his seat, bowed his hands to Lu Chen and said, "Old minister, please retire!"

Zhuge Chongguang then turned around and left the imperial study.

After Zhuge Chongguang left, Lu Chen went directly to Fengyun Palace.

When Lu Chen entered Fengyun Palace, he saw Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao were there. Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao were very worried about Mu Zixuan's condition. After all, Lu Chen did not let Mu Zixuan sleep with him on the first night after returning. Let Chu Yuqin sleep with you.

Naturally, it is not easy for the two of them to interfere in this kind of thing, but they can stay by Mu Zixuan's side and comfort Mu Zixuan.

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou stayed in Fengyun Palace for the whole day today. Just when Mu Zixuan was about to prepare dinner, the maid outside suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

Hearing this, the three women were stunned for a moment, and then quickly came out to greet them.

Before Mu Zixuan could salute, Lu Chen said, "Xiaoxiao and Youyou are both here, just in time. Don't go back tonight, just stay in Fengyun Palace."

Hearing this, the three women instantly understood what Lu Chen meant, and Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou couldn't help but blush on their faces.

Lu Chen looked at Mu Zixuan and said, "Zixuan, it's so late, dinner should be ready."

Mu Zixuan said quickly: "Ready, I will let the servants serve the food."

Immediately, Mu Zixuan ordered the maid to go and talk to the restaurant and serve the food quickly.

Lu Chen also walked directly towards Fengyun Palace at this time.

After entering Fengyun Hall, Lu Chen sat at the round dining table. Mu Zixuan, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou also hurried over, but they did not sit down immediately.

Now that Lu Chen's identity is different, they don't dare think of being as casual as before.

Seeing that Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiao Zhou were both standing, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Why are you two so afraid of me when I come back this time, as if I were a stranger?"

"Sit down quickly."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the words fell, the three women sat down.

Seeing how reserved they were, Lu Chen said in a calm tone: "Although I am already the emperor, this is the inner palace and my home. You are my wives and concubines, my women, and the closest people to me. Do you all want to alienate me so much and make me a loner?"

Although Lu Chen's tone was very calm, Mu Zixuan and the three girls could instantly tell that Lu Chen was angry. Lu Chen had rarely been angry before, and this was the first time they had seen Lu Chen speak so seriously.

The three women stood up from their stools in unison, and then quickly knelt on the ground.

Mu Zixuan said: "Your Majesty, we have no such idea."

Seeing the three women kneeling on the ground trembling, Lu Chen sighed.

Sure enough, as he thought, as long as he takes this position, he will eventually become a loner.

It is said that the emperor has no family affairs, it is all state affairs. Even in the harem, the emperor's wives and concubines must remain monarchs and ministers in front of the emperor.

Although Lu Chen knew that this was the case in this era, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Chen also understood that even if a person like the emperor, who had the power of life and death, said that his wives and concubines should be free, they would not dare to be presumptuous. After all, he could let them and the family behind them do so with just one word. perish.

Moreover, compared to his father, he has more power, and his father is still restricted by the family, but now he is in charge of the government, he can do whatever he says, and no one can restrict him.

For an emperor with such great power, it is almost impossible for his wives and concubines not to be afraid of him.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Zixuan, you have been married to me for several years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Hearing this question, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is kind, harmonious, and ambitious. He is a wise king who is rare to see in ten thousand years."

Lu Chen was very dissatisfied with this return home. Mu Zixuan's words were too polite.

Lu Chen then stood up from the stool, walked directly in front of Mu Zixuan, and then squatted down.

Mu Zixuan was stunned again.

Lu Chen looked into Mu Zixuan's eyes and said, "Zixuan, do you think this is okay? I will issue an order to the inner palace. My wives and concubines are not allowed to kneel down in front of me."

this……

Mu Zixuan instantly understood what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the three of them today.

Mu Zixuan then said: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

Lu Chen said: "You know you're wrong, why don't you get up quickly?"

"You want to kneel down so much? When you go to bed later, I will let you kneel down as much as you want on the bed."

The three Mu Zixuan girls instantly heard the implication of Lu Chen's words, and their cheeks instantly became more rosy and extremely hot.

Then the three women got up from the ground.

Mu Zixuan said at this time: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, but today's palace is no longer the North Palace of the past. There are so many eyes staring at the palace. If the concubine in the palace is disrespectful, he will definitely be in the future. He was impeached in court."

It is said that the emperor has no selfless affairs. As long as the ministers know about the affairs of the harem, those ministers will definitely talk about it when they go to court, and then they will use it as an opportunity to start a political struggle.

This was very common no matter which dynasty it was in, so Mu Zixuan and the others had nothing to do. Even if they knew that Lu Chen was not used to them being so cautious towards him, it would make Lu Chen feel that he had become a loner, but they Also consider the consequences of being disrespectful.

After hearing what Mu Zixuan said, Lu Chen then said: "In the future, I will issue an order. The affairs of the harem are my family affairs. No ministers are allowed to talk about it, unless it is about some industries you operate outside or certain things you do. It affects Daxia.”

Just as Mu Zixuan was thinking about something, Lu Chen immediately said, "Okay, this matter is settled."

At this point, Lu Chen glanced at Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiao Zhou, and then continued: "I will only say one thing, if you really make me a loner and make me feel that I have no family ties, then I will not be able to do anything in the future. It’s really not about emotions.”

"I believe you don't want to see an emperor like my father, right?"

Hearing this, the three women were startled.

Naturally, they didn't want to see Lu Chen turn into a cold and heartless emperor.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he came to the dining table again and sat down.

At this time, the servants had already started serving food.

Lu Chen said: "Hurry up and sit down."

After the three Mu Zixuan girls came to their senses, they quickly came to the dining table and sat down. After Lu Chen's words just now, the three girls were no longer as cautious as before.

After the food was served, one of Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou prepared a cup for Lu Chen, and the other poured wine for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan at this time: "Zixuan, after going to court yesterday, a minister came to me and talked to me about establishing a queen."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou felt their hearts tighten. (End of chapter)
