The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 159 Coping
Not to mention in Tianqin's harem, unless it is necessary to show dignity during major festivals, everything is kept simple at ordinary times, and the numbers on the books will naturally be small.

"If the expenses of the harem could be saved when the first emperor was alive, then the army would have more than 50 years of military pay."

After a few days, there was indeed such a vague voice in the court, and it was not a formal proposal, but it came out after all the court affairs were discussed, pointing out that Emperor Tianqin had few heirs, and the harem should be filled for the sake of continuous heirs.

Those standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, no matter whether they mentioned this matter or not, felt very nervous.

They were more worried about His Majesty's refusal to fill the harem than being on the board.

Emperor Tianqin was silent for a long time, and he did not lose his temper as everyone thought. Instead, he touched the beads in his hand and explained what he was doing and planning to do in recent years without haste.

"Open a river, build an academy, build a city wall..."

"Which of these things do you think is more important, or filling the harem?"

Now it was everyone's turn to be silent. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

In their hearts, at present, it must be more important to fill the harem. As long as one of these women can give birth to a prince for His Majesty, it doesn't matter how smart the prince is, the country can be stabilized.

But on the bright side, whatever His Majesty said is more important than filling the harem.

After all, His Majesty is still young, and there is no need to worry about his heirs, and each of these things is imminent and extremely important.

So everyone hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Emperor Tianqin looked at the crowd calmly, then waved his hand to ask Zuoqiu to pass the compiled booklet to everyone.

"This is all the expenses of the harem when the late emperor was alive. The numbers on the booklet are only on the surface, and there are many things that have not been recorded."

Generally speaking, which palace and which hall ate what was used and everything was recorded.

But at that time, Empress Wu didn't care about things, and it was even more impossible for the first emperor to care about these things. The two above didn't care, and the servant in charge of the recorder just wrote down everything.

"You've all finished watching, do you have any thoughts?"

"Anything can be said now, otherwise, if I want to say it after today, I will choose to remonstrate, and I don't have the heart to listen."

The three men standing in the front, including Shen Ji, also remained motionless, planning to let go of this matter.

Regarding the matter of the harem, they are very open now.

Because even if you can't see it, His Majesty won't care what they think.

So why don't you quietly obey His Majesty's wish, and there is no harm in influencing this wish.

"Since you all have nothing to say, let me say a few words."

Wei Sheng raised his eyes, walked towards the center, lowered his head and made a long bow, "Your Majesty and Empress Dowager are still young, and the days to come are still long, so what are you worrying about?"

One of them stood up dissatisfied, and retorted Wei Shengsi, "How can you say that, your majesty is the king of a country, and ordinary people need to flourish, let alone your majesty?"

"Furthermore, to fill the harem and extend the heirs, for the entire royal family and His Majesty, there will be no harm at all."

Speaking of this, he was dizzy with excitement, and turned the conflict to Gu Ruzhen, "Is it because His Majesty has found so many reasons not to choose concubines and concubines, or is it because the empress is jealous and forbids His Majesty to choose concubines and concubines?"

Emperor Tianqin lowered his eyes slightly, and gradually tightened his fingers holding the beads.

Weisheng thought inwardly that he was not good, and hurriedly reprimanded Tianqin Emperor angrily, "Presumptuous, what do you mean by that?"

The man who was dizzy with excitement finally came to his senses at this time, he glanced in the direction of the dragon chair timidly, and remedied, "I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't choose what to say, please forgive me later."

"However, before that, I still want to ask His Majesty to consider my opinion carefully. How can there be only one imperial concubine among the heirs of the royal family? If something happens one day, who can support this country?"

Wei Sheng stared at him dumbfounded, it was hard to imagine how he dared to say such words so boldly.

After all, the courtiers standing in the hall were all left after several cleanings.

This message may be replaced by Survival.

He curled up his lips and chuckled, "Master Zhou, let me think about it, what are you talking about?"

"If something happens someday, who can support this country?"

"Master Zhou, in the sentence you said, what will happen when the sun rises?"

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yun's opening to speak, but the rest of them also wanted to join in the troubled waters.

Unexpectedly, before they had time to fish in troubled waters to agree, they heard Wei Sheng pick out the problems in the words word by word.

It doesn't matter if you listen roughly, but if you pick it out and look carefully, it's a big problem.

"Lord Zhou, you are cursing Your Majesty and talking about His Majesty's life expectancy." Wei Shengsi's words successfully diverted everyone's attention to him.

In the eyes of everyone, apart from astonishment, there was more inconceivability.

Wei Shengsi usually takes a neutral position above the court, he doesn't favor anyone, and even stands up to mediate when the two sides are arguing.

So people rarely heard Wei Shengsi say such blunt, sharp and unkind words.

This simply drove Zhou Yun into the abyss, without even a chance to stand up.

But what everyone didn't know was that if Weisheng hadn't done this, what Zhou Yun would have lost was not only the opportunity to advance in the court, but also his life.

And Wei Shengsi also felt that based on Zhou Yun's words alone, he would have no chance to go further.

Zhou Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is wise, I don't think so."

Emperor Tianqin didn't give Zhou Yun half of his gaze, but just looked at the remaining courtiers who were standing stiff in place.

"You also know how much silver it costs just to open the river, not to mention the city wall that will be built next year."

"The national treasury has plenty of money, but it needs to be used for unexpected needs. Several decisions in the past few years have to have fixed silver expenditures every year or even every month."

"At such an urgent time, you want me to ignore the people and go to the general election?"

"Or, which one of you, or a few of you, or all of you, can provide a steady stream of silver for the treasury so that there is no hindrance to subsequent decision-making?"

His voice was calm, but calm did not mean that there was no anger.

In recent years, his temperament has become more and more calm, and his emotions have become more and more elusive.

But even though they didn't know if he was angry or not, after hearing his words, no one dared to mention the matter of concubine selection again.
