On the second day after seeing off Princess Yong'an, the imperial edict that Han Xiang'er was appointed as Gui Ji was issued, which once again caused heated discussions in the court.
The rumor that the emperor favored Han Xianger every night was known to all the civil and military officials in the court, but this time he wanted to make Han Xianger the noble lady, and his status was almost on par with Concubine Lu, and the ministers couldn't help but say it.
Many civil and military officials dissuaded the emperor to take back the order on the grounds that Han Xianger was humble, including some civil and military officials of the Lu family of Fanyang.
Several other gentry clans, including the ministers of the Wang family of Langya, also disagreed with the emperor's intention to make such a woman from a singer-songwriter one of the third ladies!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng had already made up his mind and did not allow all the ministers to discuss! In order to appease the Lu family of Fanyang, Xiao Heng also rewarded some of the tributes presented from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Lu family of Fanyang and Lu Concubine Lu in the name of his contribution to Princess Yong'an's marriage!
Some ministers were also unwilling to give up and advised Xiao Heng to give up the rain and dew to favor Han Xiang'er while not forgetting other concubines. Xiao Heng had already looked unhappy.
The Chief Censor Fang Shixian also felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to let Han Xianger become a noble girl, so he bowed and advised: "Your Majesty, the lord position in the harem is vacant. It is better to summon beauty to the whole world to fill in the harem to make up for the vacant ones in the harem!"
After Fang Shixian finished speaking, many ministers nodded and agreed.
When Xiao Heng heard this, his brow frowned slightly. There were not many concubines in the harem, and they were already surging undercurrents. If more people were summoned to the palace, the various sects he had worked hard to restrain would become even more chaotic!
"Yes, the emperor, since the first empress has passed away, the emperor has never issued an order to recruit beauties from all over the world to the palace. The harem is in vain. How can we carry my great fortune for thousands of years?"
As soon as the minister finished speaking, Xiao Heng's face suddenly became gloomy.
He knew the most in his heart how A Jing's death was. Because of this, he did not allow anyone to mention her in front of him. Unexpectedly, these ministers forgot about the fact that Han Xianger was named as Gui Ji.
His taboo!
"You all think about my country and country, have you never thought about recruiting beauties from all over the world to the palace, and it will be a waste of money and damage your money?" Xiao Heng asked coldly, with a majestic expression.
The ministers who were still talking quietly looked unhappy when they saw the emperor, and they all fell silent and dared not speak.
Xiao Heng didn't want to hear the advice of these ministers again, so he looked at them coldly, said "retreat the court" and stood up and left.
The civil and military officials in the hall could only look at each other. Finally, someone patted the minister who touched Xiao Heng's taboo, shook his head and sighed: "You are the same. Why did you touch the emperor's taboo at this time?"
The minister knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and look at Fang Shixian, who agreed with him. Fang Shixian frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Actually, he has a kind heart, and the harem has always been unparalleled.
, The Emperor summoned that Shuyuan tonight. If it continues for a long time, there will be trouble... "
Fang Shixian said this and advised the Crown Prince Xiao Changgong: "Your Highness, now you can only persuade the emperor! Han Shuyuan is from the bottom of the class and is already a great honor to be named Shuyuan, and now she is named Gui Ji.
It's really inappropriate!"
Xiao Changgong looked at Fang Shixian with a blank expression and replied coldly: "Whoever my father favors him, can't others argue with him? His father must have a reason for doing this!"
The prince's words clearly made the hope of ministers with other thoughts fail.
