But this time, they also used their right to refuse for the first time.【】
His Majesty seemed to have expected it. He actually did not get angry and asked: "What problem does King Xiu think? This is just my family matter. Does it need to be discussed in the court?"
"The emperor has no family affairs, and only half of his harem is occupied by the emperor. His Majesty's family affairs are also the state affairs of his ministers."
This was said very rudely, almost crossing the boundaries between monarch and ministers.
His Majesty stood up from the dragon chair and stared at King Xiu: "Okay, old prince, please tell me what's wrong with my decision?"
"This...this..."
Xiu Wang hesitated. Although he knew that something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong. Moreover, he was not an eloquent person. He couldn't get the point after talking for a long time. After holding it in for a long time, his face turned red and he turned to his side.
The Second Prince: "Second Prince, please tell me."
The second prince didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the emperor's brother, but now he was pushed to the forefront, and all eyes were on him. He had to bite the bullet and coughed dryly: "It stands to reason that the emperor's family affairs will
We ministers should not interfere..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Immediately there was a sound of coughing below, and everyone looked at him angrily. They elected him to be a loyal minister who "directly remonstrates", not to please the emperor.
The second prince panicked, knowing that he must not be at odds at this time, otherwise, his status in the eyes of his noble relatives would be greatly reduced. However, how to avoid arousing the emperor's brother's resentment was another problem.
He simply gave up: "My brother also thinks that the emperor's decision is inappropriate. The harem has always been a very important part of national politics. Whoever is in charge of the harem is in charge of half of the country. Moreover, the empresses under the queen in the palace are now
, not only noble status
Concubines, and many of them are daughters of wealthy families, if the imperial brother sends them to their respective fiefdoms, how will everyone feel? You know, scholars have always regarded marriage as very important, and they will never allow their own women to easily
Being divorced..."
These words are very powerful, and the implication is to remind: Your Majesty himself called for everyone to marry, but you took the lead in destroying it. Is it because your position has become stable after taking office, and you are going to burn bridges? You are not letting us people go.
