Chapter 317
Chaotian Palace.
All the officials focused their attention on Ying Yi.
Ying Yi said in a deep voice: "I have decided that all matters in the harem will be handled by the emperor and empress in the future. As for the previous rules, they will all be abolished and no longer need to be followed."
"After today, this order will be announced to the world."
Ying Yi's tone was firm.
As soon as this was said.
All the officials were shocked.
Including Feng Wudao and Luo Tianheng, their eyes were trembling and their brows were furrowed.
Wei Zheng was the first to lose control.
He understood that there were only Feng Luoxi and Luo Qingwu in the harem now. Although Luo Qingwu did not have an identity now, it was a matter of time.
The two women did give everything to Ying Yi, but abolishing the harem rules and leaving the harem to Feng Luoxi was a big deal and it was absolutely inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will think more about it. This move is really inappropriate!"
Wei Zheng looked ugly.
Feng Ji also stood up. Although he had a very good relationship with Feng Wudao and Luo Tianheng, and they were even better friends in private, it was not the time to worry about personal feelings when it came to the Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, I also think it is inappropriate."
Ying Yi frowned slightly.
In fact, he had expected this scene a long time ago. He felt helpless, happy, bitter, and extremely complicated.
He really didn't want to disappoint people like Wei Zheng and Feng Ji who were so open and loyal and devoted to the country.
So his words were quite gentle.
"Wei Qing, Feng Xiang, I am already very tired from handling state affairs."
"Now in the harem, I am lucky to have the emperor and empress to assist me. The emperor and empress are virtuous, loyal to me, love the people like their own children, and are proficient in state affairs. Moreover, we are in the same boat and our love is stronger than gold, so I want to hand over the harem to the emperor and empress to manage."
Ying Yi paused and said, "Besides, most of the rules in the harem seem too pedantic now."
"For example, concubines cannot leave the palace at will, cannot easily return to their parents' home, etc. A series of rules seem to turn the harem into a prison, which I think is really inappropriate."
"Wei Qing and Feng Xiang can't help but think carefully. The rules we followed before are really inappropriate."
Facing Wei Zheng and Feng Ji, Ying Yi always speaks kindly.
Because he understands.
The perspectives of the two are completely from his standpoint.
As for other people's words, he just treats them as farts.
Hearing Ying Yi say this, Wei Zheng was still somewhat reluctant, and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly."
"Your Majesty, there are only the emperor and empress in the harem now. Perhaps soon, General Luo's daughter, Luo Qingwu, will be added, making two people."
"But your majesty, have you ever thought that the emperor and empress are the granddaughters of Prime Minister Feng, and Luo Qingwu is the daughter of General Luo."
"One is civil and the other is military. Now they are in the heyday of the Qin court. The Feng family is a Qin aristocratic family with deep roots. As for the Luo family, General Luo is in charge of military power. , and even the Lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, and Luo Shuyuan is in command of a large army, and is now defending the southern border against the enemy. "
"If there is a conflict between Prime Minister Feng and General Luo, it's fine, they can check and balance each other, but I understand that Prime Minister Feng and General Luo have a very good personal relationship."
"Now, Prime Minister Feng and General Luo are powerful in the court. If the harem is left to the emperor and empress to handle it, I will be very worried."
Wei Zheng's words made all the officials in the court tremble, and they looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
Feng Wudao and Luo Tianheng are now the real lords, powerful in the court.
No one dared to sing against them.
But I never thought that Wei Zheng would dare to bring this matter to the surface, which was simply risking his life.
But it also confirmed Wei Zheng's upright character.
Wei Zheng paused and continued, "Your Majesty, 4,300 years ago, the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Empress of the time had an equally loving relationship, and they even became the envy of many men and women."
"But in the end, the Emperor and Empress had supreme power, and the lovers became mortal enemies, staging a drama of seizing the throne that had never happened in the seven kingdoms in ten thousand years."
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the current Emperor and Empress have even more power in their hands. Not only do they hold one of the four major palaces, but now there is also a Phoenix Prime Minister in the court. If that time really comes, how will Your Majesty deal with it?"
Wei Zheng's words were sharp.
He did not care about the feelings of Feng Wudao and Luo Tianheng at all.
Feng Ji on the side also said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is right. Please think carefully. This is a serious matter. Don't be impulsive and regret it later."
Wei Zheng and Feng Ji refused sternly.
And on the side.
Feng Wudao and Luo Tianheng did not blame Wei Zheng and Feng Ji for their criticism.
In private, they are very good friends.
The four of them are upright and never bend the law for personal gain.
When Wei Zheng was exiled to the northern border, the three of them made great efforts, including Feng Wudao being imprisoned. At that time, Luo Tianheng and Feng Ji wrote letters to plead for him day and night until Luo Tianheng suffered.Feng Ji also pleaded for mercy when he was implicated and demoted.
The relationship between the four people was open and aboveboard. Drinking together was the norm, and they often discussed how to govern Daqin together.
But everything was for the prosperity of Daqin.
As for what the other party did wrong, they would not hesitate to stand up and correct it.
When it came to Daqin, they ignored their personal relationships and only cared about the people.
Listening to Wei Zheng and Feng Ji's words, both of them were veterans, and they had a broad vision, so it was normal to have such concerns.
But Ying Yi knew that Feng Luoxi and Luo Qingwu had deep feelings for him.
It was impossible for them to rebel.
But he didn't know how to refute what Wei Zheng and Feng Ji said.
The current court can be said to be his one-man show, but if Wei Zheng and the other four really had different opinions, they still had to think deeply about it, or at least find a reasonable excuse.
"Your Majesty."
While Ying Yi was thinking, Feng Wudao also stood up, "Your Majesty, the rules of the harem were drafted by the generations of the Great Qin Emperor."
"Since it exists, there must be a reason for it."
"Your Majesty wants to abolish the rules of the harem, most likely because concubines cannot go home to visit their families, relatives cannot enter the palace, and concubines are subject to more severe restrictions."
Feng Wudao paused and said, "In this case, Your Majesty can remove some of them."
"You can expand the conditions for the harem to leave the palace."
"As for the harem... Your Majesty still has to control the power. As for the little... Empress, the power is indeed overwhelming now. If the harem is handed over to the Empress, I am afraid that this old minister will be restless day and night."
Luo Tianheng nodded and echoed: "What Prime Minister Feng, Old Wei and Prime Minister Feng said is right."
"The harem is of great importance, and the concubines in the harem must not control too much power."
Harem.
That is not just the residence of the concubines.
The harem has an independent army and is also involved in many institutions. Once the emperor and empress completely control the harem, if they have the intention of rebellion, they can easily put the emperor under house arrest.
If it was in the past, this problem would definitely not occur.
But the difficulty lies in that Ying Yi handed Feng Wu Jiu Tian to Feng Luo Xi. Feng Wu Jiu Tian completely overcomes the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Art. If Feng Luo Xi really has the intention of rebellion, Ying Yi really can't prevent it.
This is also the reason why the four rejected Ying Yi's proposal.
Feng Wudao's words fell.
Wei Zheng and Feng Ji nodded, "Your Majesty, the rules of the harem can be appropriately changed to some minor ones. Visiting relatives and leaving the palace are not important and can be relaxed."
"But the power, I hope Your Majesty will hold it in your hands and don't hand it over easily."
Things have come to this.
Ying Yi wanted to say something else, but he didn't know how to start, so he could only nod and say, "If that's the case, then it's settled."
"I will abolish the rules for visiting relatives and leaving the palace, and as for the others, I won't change them."
"This..."
Wei Zheng wanted to say something else, but Feng Ji gave him a signal.
Immediately, Wei Zheng stopped talking.
These rules are indeed irrelevant, so don't worry too much and let Ying Yi handle it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we obey your order!"
All the officials kowtowed together.
Ying Yi nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "General Luo, the Seven Kingdoms Ranked War is about to start. You must ensure the fairness of the Qin Ranked War and select the demons for Qin. Don't be careless."
Luo Tianheng knew that this matter was serious, and he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure fairness!"
Ying Yi nodded, and then waved his sleeves, "Okay, this morning court ends here, let's adjourn."
