Chapter 135 Can Men Have Children?

This was Yan Donghuang's first official day in court after ascending the throne.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, dressed in neat official uniforms, knelt down and worshiped, shouting long live the mountain.

Yan Donghuang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil servants in the palace, headed by Prime Minister Pei and Taifu Qi. They all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes with respectful gestures, but respect did not mean loyalty.

During the period when the princes were competing for the throne, there were many parties in the DPRK and China.

The interests of the factions and factions that have been planning for many years and the interests between the prince and the officials have long been deeply rooted, and the influence can affect the whole body.

It is almost impossible to make them completely loyal to the new emperor.

Yan Donghuang turned his eyes slightly and looked at the generals.

The ones attending court today are Xie Yunjian and Qin Yang. In addition to them, there are four elderly generals, the oldest is sixty years old, and the youngest is in his early fifties.

They were all generals who had made great achievements on the battlefield with their father when they were young. Now they are either Dukes or Lords.

Yes, in addition to the Sheng family of Zhen Guo Gongfu, the Yong Dynasty also had the Zhou family of Wei Guo Gongfu, the Yun family of Wu Guo Gongfu and the Li family of Zhenbei Houfu.

Emperor Wu Lie fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he was willing to reward those who made great achievements with titles. At the peak of his military exploits, he once awarded the title of three princes and two marquises in one day.

Although these princes are old, have retired from the battlefield, and have withdrawn from the center of power in the court, their former power is still there and should not be underestimated.

Yan Donghuang turned his head and glanced at the position of the Minister of Civil Affairs calmly, his eyes staying on the row of princes.

Yan Ming, Yan Wei, Yan Yu, Yan Ying and Yan Ling were all there, but only one Yan Zhang was imprisoned in the palace and was not allowed to enter the palace for three months.

The five princes standing in the court hall have five hearts.

How many ministers are there in the court? Are they the hidden forces behind them?

Yan Donghuang knew very well that sitting on the throne did not mean that her position was stable. The country that seemed as solid as an iron barrel was actually full of undercurrents and dangers.

She composed herself and spoke calmly: "Everyone, please be safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I ascended the throne yesterday and will make some adjustments to the Qingluan Army." Yan Donghuang said calmly, with a calm tone, "Since the emperor's grandfather, the Yong Dynasty has always paid equal attention to civil and military affairs. The generals and army are the most powerful in the Yong Dynasty. A force that cannot be ignored.”

"The Qingluan Army is an army led by me. I will still make the final decision on the promotion and selection of generals in the army."

"I hope that the Qingluan Army will continue to be strong, stabilize the country, and make powerful enemies fearful and afraid to invade!"

All the officials bowed and said: "My Emperor, Holy Ming!"

Yan Donghuang held on to the armrest of the dragon chair and said with a bit more coercion in his voice: "I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. With the salary from the imperial court, I hope you can work hard and don't have any undue thoughts."

"I am not a murderous demon, but I am definitely not a merciful person."

"Reuse those who are capable and discard those who are incompetent!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "If anything happens, I'll report it early. If nothing happens, I'll withdraw from the court."

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister in the palace raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty has been honored as a great treasure, and the top priority is to replenish the harem——"

"What is the purpose of filling the harem?" Yan Donghuang looked at the official minister who was speaking, with a stern look on his face, "Emperors in the past dynasties filled the harem in order to prolong their heirs. The concubines in the harem are all women, and one will not give birth to another. I am filling the harem for the purpose of procreating. For what? Can you men have children?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel choked and then argued: "Although men cannot give birth to children, but... women cannot give birth without men..."

"So?" Yan Donghuang's voice was cold, "Does it mean that if I choose ten men to enter the palace, I can have ten children in one year?"

The Minister of Personnel showed embarrassment and bowed his head: "I...I didn't mean that..."

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the harem." Yan Donghuang's tone was cold and his attitude was full of toughness. "When I came to the throne, affairs in the court were busy. I hope you can focus on business and don't act like three aunts and six grandmas all day long. , keep an eye on my harem! I will only care about my country and children more than you."

The Minister of Libu's face turned red and he lowered his eyes without saying a word.

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Yan Donghuang said again: "If you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing."

The ministers lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, calmed down their tempers, and began to talk one by one. No one mentioned the draft.

The atmosphere in the main hall was solemn, and the entire discussion process was frightening.

After finally making it to the next court, Yan Donghuang summoned several ministers to the Qinzheng Hall. The other ministers breathed a long sigh of relief, unconsciously raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, turned around and walked out of the hall with weak steps.

Chen Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked to Yan Ling's side and took the initiative to speak: "Prince An seemed to have a good relationship with His Majesty before."

Yan Ling's expression froze slightly, and then she smiled nonchalantly: "It was before, but now His Majesty is the emperor. There are differences between king and minister. It's hard for me to be as commensurate with her brother and sister as before."

"It's not that brother and sister must be proportionate." Chen Shilang turned his head and looked at it, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty doesn't plan to draft for the time being, but he didn't say not to give it to her later."

Yan Ling's eyebrows moved slightly and she said calmly: "Master Chen means..."

"My youngest son is eighteen years old. He has outstanding appearance, gentle and considerate temperament, and is good at serving others." Chen Shilang smiled meaningfully, "Didn't His Majesty accept a few male favors out of anger a few years ago? I heard that those people are not liked by His Majesty. They have been staying in the dormitory to learn the rules and have not even seen His Majesty formally once. "

Yan Ling was moved: "So Master Chen wants Young Master Chen to enter the palace to serve His Majesty?"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Yan Ling was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "I will think of a way."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will wait for the good news from Your Majesty." Chen Shilang bowed, then turned and left.
