Chapter 1360 Entering King Yan, Discussing the Side Concubine
In the Romance, Cao Cao killed all the Fu Wan and Mu Shun clans, totaling more than 200 people.
Empress Fu was so frightened that she hid in the screen wall of the palace, but was still captured and killed by soldiers under Cao Cao's command; the two princes born to Empress Fu were all poisoned to death.
Bai Xiaowen was not as ruthless as Cao Cao, but when it was time to do it, he would not be soft-hearted. He beheaded more than 70 relatives of Fu Wan and Mu Shun.
After beheading Fu, Hua Xin led the soldiers to force the palace, first took away Empress Fu's seal, and then took her away.
The emperor begged bitterly, and Hua Xin scolded: "The king of Yan is fighting and fighting outside, but you plot to murder the pillars. You are so stupid. You know, if there is no king of Yan in the world, you don't know where your soul will go!"
The emperor hugged Empress Fu and cried loudly, and the two princes also knelt down and cried.
Hua Xin said: "What time is it? You are still acting like a son and daughter here!" He ordered the soldiers to hold Empress Fu hostage.
When the scene was almost done, an imperial edict came: "The king of Yan has an order, after a slow release, I will hand it over to His Majesty for judgment."
The emperor couldn't believe his ears. He was already mentally prepared for Empress Fu to be killed, but who knew that there would be a turning point in the middle? He looked at Hua Xin: "Dong Yan... what does King Yan mean?"
Hua Xin said: "The empress' murder of the King of Yan is an unforgivable crime. The King of Yan is benevolent, and I leave it to His Majesty to judge. If His Majesty protects you, then today's changes cannot be guaranteed to happen again, and Your Majesty will never have peace."
The emperor said: "The meaning of King Yan, how should we deal with the queen?"
Hua Xin said: "The King of Yan did not return the Queen's seal. The meaning of this is already clear."
The emperor wept and said: "The empress is the master of the harem, how can she talk about abolition?"
Hua Xin scolded: "Don't you understand, Your Majesty? You are killing the empress if you protect the empress's position. If the king of Yan is angry, even the emperor can be dethroned, let alone an empress!"
The emperor was so frightened that he could only tearfully issue an order to abolish the empress and put him in the cold palace.
In Da Sima's mansion, Bai Xiaowen explained to his teammates the reason for doing so.
"According to the logic, I should cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, just like Cao Cao."
"But the situation is different. When Cao Cao killed the empress, it was already 19 years in Jian'an, and he welcomed the emperor for 19 years, with a solid foundation; I welcomed the emperor, but only a few months ago. The current situation is due to With great achievements in battle. Killing the empress without permission will inevitably make the officials grievous."
"The most important reason is that I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to conquer Jiangdong. Killing the queen at this time is tantamount to giving up the righteousness and fame to the Sun family. At this juncture, I really can't do anything arbitrarily. Anyway, as an awakened , it only takes a few months to stabilize, unlike Cao Cao who wants to cut grass and roots."
This court turmoil is over.
It was February of the second year of Taishi, and a group of ministers performed a performance, praising the merits of Yan Gong and Yuan Xi, who were beyond the reach of Yi Yin and Zhou Gong.
The emperor asked Dong Zhao to issue an imperial edict and enshrined Bai Xiaowen as "King of Yan". Bai Xiaowen wrote three speeches, and ordered three times not to allow it.
Bai Xiaowen then worshiped the title of King Yan, was crowned twelve o'clock, rode a golden root chariot, drove six horses, used the emperor's chariot to wear a luanyi, and went out to the police and entered the palace; he also built the Yan Palace in Yanjun (Yanguo) in Youzhou.
However, when discussing the establishment of a son, the officials encountered difficulties, because Bai Xiaowen (Yuan Xi) was young and had no heirs for the time being.
Based on the hateful concept of feudalism, the officials attributed the crime of "no heir" to Zhen Mi, saying: "The king of Yan should take more concubines, spread branches and leaves, and establish a candidate for the prince's son as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts. Shi has nothing to do, so it is not appropriate to occupy the right position."
There are many trust relationships and door-to-door contacts,
To dedicate a daughter to a family member of the aristocratic family where Bai Xiaowen is Ji's concubine.
Bai Xiaowen said: "It's not her fault that the Zhen family has no children. The Zhen family guards Youzhou alone, and the Zhen family is in Yecheng. It's a filial piety for me, gathering less and leaving more; later, it was a few months to fight the world, which is rare. From now on, Mrs. Zhen will always be by my side, so why worry about having no children?"
So Bai Xiaowen ordered that Zhen Mi be the Queen of Yan.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's resolute attitude, the officials retreated to the next best thing and advised Bai Xiaowen to accept the side concubine.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen could see the purpose of the ministers' admonition.
The officials, in fact, are all from the gentry family, representing the interests of the various aristocratic families. They persuaded Bai Xiaowen to take a concubine because they wanted to take the wife's route and offer up the noble daughter of the family.
Ideally, the noble daughter of the family becomes the queen, and even the later queen, her own family is a relative, so of course it is boundless glory; even if she can't be a royal palace, she can at least have a relationship with the future emperor by becoming a noble concubine.
Therefore, in addition to admonishing, the officials even brought out Yuan Xi's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, to persuade Bai Xiaowen to take a concubine.
If it were other awakened people, they would definitely be able to sleep with each other, and they could also win over the aristocratic family and strengthen the relationship. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
However, Bai Xiaowen's thinking is very different from when he just became an awakened person two years ago.
With his charisma, talent, and power status (whether in the spiritual world or in reality), he can be said to be a walking hormone, and there are a lot of beauties recommending himself as pillows with just a tick of his fingers.
But there are so many beauties in the world, do you really see one and sleep with the other? Are you still doing business? Do you still need a kidney?
For example, Ma Yunlu just watched eagerly.
Bai Xiaowen then used a dragging formula and said to the officials:
"Accommodating the side concubine widely, spreading branches and leaves, it should be taken for granted. However, the state affairs have not yet settled down, and Jiangdong and Jingzhou are left. How can I abolish the public for private reasons? I have already made a decision on this matter: Let Queen Zhen Responsible for the selection of beautiful women, according to the queen, madam, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Ronghua, beauties, etc., select 15 people. When Guping Jiangnan is settled, the whole country is unified, and when they return, we will give a big gift."
Team Baihuang, a small theater within the team.
"Hey, I always feel that the captain has done something great." Qiao Rui said with a smile.
"Fifteen, are you busy..." Li Shuyi began to grind her teeth.
"Not too much." Han Xu expressed his opinion honestly.
For a powerful prince and king, the number of concubines is really not many.
Bai Xiaowen: "...Can't you see my painstaking efforts in doing this? Fifteen side concubines are like fifteen pieces of fat meat. The energy of the aristocratic families in each state will be concentrated on this matter and will not cause me trouble; Handing over the power of selection to Zhen Mi will also have the effect of appeasing the Zhen family. Why don't you understand?"
Qiao Rui said with a smile: "It's not that we don't understand, it's just a joke, anyway, idle is idle."
Li Shuyi: "Look, there is an honest man here, come and bully him."
Bai Xiaowen was relieved to see that Li Shuyi was normal, and she was laughing carelessly there.
