"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1281
In the early morning, the sun shines through the mist on the palace complex, and the resplendent palace complex seems to be covered with a layer of tulle, solemn and solemn.
In the luxurious Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chen Ziang slept until the sun was high before waking up leisurely.
Chen Ziang has been leading the troops to fight and fight on the battlefield, so he has hardly had a solid sleep.
Now that he has returned to the hinterland of the empire, he is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of powerful troops to guard him, so Chen Ziang also has a solid sleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Chen Ziang only wanted three palaces as places to live and deal with affairs, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was his residence.
"Your Majesty, this servant will dress you."
Just as Chen Ziang was about to throw off the quilt and get up, several young and beautiful girls entered the room together after hearing the movement.
"who are you?"
Seeing that although these girls were beautiful, Chen Ziang, who had just come down from the battlefield, was also extra vigilant.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servants are the maids in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Seeing the vigilant Chen Ziang, these beautiful girls hurriedly explained.
"You go out, I dress myself."
Chen Ziang is not a person who does not move his limbs, so he waved his hand and ordered them to go out.
"Your Majesty forgive me"
Seeing that Chen Ziang didn't want their help in dressing, these beautiful girls knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.
"I just let you go out, why are you guilty?"
Seeing these beautiful girls kneeling on the ground, Chen Ziang couldn't help but frowned.
"Go out, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that I'm not used to being served by others."
Seeing the beautiful girls with fearful faces, Chen Ziang shook his head helplessly.
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, the startled beautiful girls got up, bowed and retreated.
After Chen Ziang himself dressed and washed, in the spacious and bright main hall, the two wives, Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue, were already waiting, and an exquisite breakfast was placed on the table.
"Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?"
Seeing Chen Ziang come out after washing, Chen Xiaoyu greeted him with a smile and asked.
Chen Ziang sat down with a smile, and then said: "Being far away from the front line of gold and iron horses, and suddenly returned to the gentle village, I naturally slept soundly. It would be great if the world will remain peaceful in the future."
"Your Majesty has defeated all the enemies, and every day from now on will be peaceful." Chu Yue echoed with a smile.
"It's just that the gentle countryside of Taiping can easily make people lose their minds."
Chen Ziang pointed to the twenty or so pretty girls who were waiting on his left and right and asked.
"Whose girls are they all? Why have they all come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, these are girls from good families who have been carefully selected. Lord Qin sent them here mainly to take care of His Majesty's daily life."
Seeing that Chen Ziang was in deep thought and did not speak, Chen Xiaoyu continued to speak.
"If His Majesty doesn't like it, I'll tell Lord Qin later and ask him to change the batch."
"Now, how many girls from such good families are there in various palaces?"
Chen Ziang didn't answer Chen Xiaoyu's words, but asked after taking a sip from a bowl of porridge.
"It is estimated that there are thousands of people." Chen Xiaoyu replied.
After pondering for a few seconds, Chen Ziang said: "Send them away, let them go home."
"Your Majesty, if they are sent away, who will take care of His Majesty's daily life?"
Chen Xiaoyu didn't expect that Chen Ziang would dismiss all the beautiful girls selected into the palace, so she was also puzzled.
According to Chen Xiaoyu's thinking, none of the emperors in the past has three thousand beauties in the harem, so selecting these beautiful girls to enter the palace is also the meaning of the question.
And many of these young and beautiful girls are not badly born. Except for some girls from ordinary families, a considerable number of them are from former noble families who joined the empire, and they can be regarded as educated and reasonable.
The purpose of these former nobles sending their daughters to the palace is self-evident. If they are favored by Chen Ziang and give birth to a boy and a half girl, they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Chen Xiaoyu naturally knew the thoughts of these former nobles.??The way her daughter stuffed her in, as the mistress of the harem, she naturally turned a blind eye.
In Chen Xiaoyu's view, as long as Chen Ziang brings these women into the palace, it can be regarded as a way to appease the nobles of the previous dynasty, which will help stabilize the rule of the empire.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Zi'ang would dismiss all the beautiful girls who were sent to the palace.
"You chose them to serve us in this palace, away from your own relatives, and you can't marry. This is ruining other people's happiness."
Chen Ziang is very clear that many court ladies enter the palace at a young age, and then cannot marry and have children for the rest of their lives.
If you are lucky enough to become a concubine, most people will spend their entire lives away from their relatives and die alone.
However, the emperors of the past dynasties simply ignored the miserable lives of these court ladies for their own indulgence.
What Chen Ziang built was a new empire, so he naturally hoped to start with himself and rebuild a new order, so that such a tragedy could not be repeated.
"We have a small number of people, and our daily life is very simple. We only need a cook, a person who is responsible for washing starch, and a person who is responsible for serving tea and water. We don't need so many people to take care of us."
Seeing that Chen Xiaoyu still wanted to persuade himself, Chen Ziang put on a straight face, showing displeasure.
"But you are the emperor of the empire"
Chu Yue didn't expect Chen Ziang to be so frugal, so she couldn't help persuading her.
"It is precisely because I am the emperor of the empire, so I have to lead by example and set a good example, otherwise the upper beam will not be straight and the lower beam will be crooked. If everyone is like this, then what is the difference between us and the previous dynasty?"
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue also looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
After all, the emperors of all dynasties have lived such a life, which is also a symbol of status, but Chen Ziang wants to live that minimalist life, which makes Chen Xiaoyu and the others quite helpless.
"Since Your Majesty is unwilling, I will ask Mr. Qin to send all these girls home." Chen Xiaoyu replied.
"No, I will personally let Qin An take care of this matter." Chen Ziang waved his hand and said.
"You are my wives, and Qin An is the chief executive of the empire. From now on, you can take care of the harem. You don't need to worry about the outside affairs, and don't instruct Qin An and the others to do things privately. The influence will be bad." Chen Ziang warned. .
"The concubine obeys the order."
Facing Chen Ziang's warning words, both Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue were shocked, and respectfully agreed.
In history, there are many examples of the harem meddling in politics, and there are also many cases where the harem and foreign relatives monopolize the emperor.
Previously, Chen Ziang had been leading the army to fight on the front line, and his main energy was on the military, but he had no time to take care of the governance of the empire.
Now that Chen Zi'ang has shifted his work focus to internal governance, and found out that the harem ordered foreign ministers to do things, he naturally wanted to cut off this sign and prevent the harem from interfering in politics. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
