"My lord, what's the matter? No outsiders will hear you here."
After inviting him to sit on the couch in the room, Yage said.
Li Hongshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Concubine Hua, do you know that the ministers in the court have been urging the emperor very hard on the draft issue recently?"
Ya Ge nodded and replied: "I know about this, but hasn't the emperor already rejected it? Just let them do it."
She thought that Li Hongshan came to her to discuss how to make the ministers give up.
"But Madam, if this continues, there is no way. The ancestral system is there. If the emperor doesn't show off, it will be difficult to silence the ministers." Li Hongshan showed no expression on his face.
Ya Ge was startled and had doubts on his face.
"Then, what does the Duke think?"
Li Hongshan replied: "The draft is indeed a waste of people and money, but the wishes of the ministers cannot be ignored. The veteran thought for a long time and felt that the best way is to keep everything simple and let the emperor select a few women with both ability and political integrity to enter the harem, so...
..”
"What's the difference between this and the draft? The Duke came to this palace to discuss this matter. What exactly do you want?" I finally understood what he meant.
Yage had a straight face and interrupted him before he could finish.
I feel bored, these ministers have nothing to do after they are full, or what?
Why do you think about destroying the emperor's relationship as husband and wife all day long, and thinking about finding more mistresses for the emperor?
Li Hongshan had already made up his mind to persuade Concubine Hua to consider the overall situation.
However, he never thought that Concubine Hua was a modern person.
The thoughts and education I have received since childhood never allow me to be a submissive and submissive little daughter-in-law.
He took out a small roster from his sleeve, handed it to Ya Ge, and said, "Here are several ladies of the great family carefully selected by the veteran minister. I hope Concubine Hua will persuade the emperor to accept them."
He always thought that Concubine Hua would agree to this move.
Just like how he persuaded her to sacrifice herself to save Xuanyuan Yongling.
