Because Yu Wenchen canceled the draft and decided to make Qi Ranran his queen, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public.

Early in the morning, there were ministers advising the emperor,

"Your Majesty, it is against the ancestral system for the imperial concubine to be promoted to the imperial concubine without any heirs.

The imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty has not been able to leave the palace since she entered the palace.

She has done nothing for the heirs and is of no help to the country, so she is really not a candidate for the queen."

Although Prime Minister Qi was not angry when he heard this, his eyes had darkened.

He is a father and does not like to hear other people say bad things about his daughter!

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the famous official, Li Ran.

The person has been noted down.

If I remember correctly, he was promoted by Shangshu Liu.

When Yu Wenchen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, he said without distinguishing whether he was happy or angry,

"It wasn't you who said that there was a vacancy in the middle palace before, and suggested that I establish a queen as soon as possible.

Now that I have chosen my successor, I have these words."

Yan Guan continued to speak despite the pressure,

"The emperor, the lord of the middle palace, the mother of the world, must choose someone with both ability and political integrity.

This noble concubine Ming..."

The rest of the words were not said, but the gesture of refusing to say anything was more intriguing than saying it.

To be honest, my family background is not very good. Looking at the entire court, there is no one who can compare with me.

But with both ability and political integrity... I always feel that I can't stand up to Concubine Ming.

I heard that although Concubine Ming was kind-hearted, she had a lively personality.

Not only did he open various shops outside the palace, he was also good at running them.

Even some of the popular and well-known storybooks circulated in the city were written by this noble concubine.

From this point of view, this person's character is really not dignified, let alone a mother-in-law.

Furthermore, the Qi family is already so powerful.

It wouldn't be appropriate if there was another queen.

Secondly, he got to this point because he was promoted by Liu Shangshu, so he had to do something for him.

Yuwen Chen was waiting for this sentence,

"Since you said you have both ability and political integrity, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

The noble concubine Ming is kind, virtuous and intelligent, and has served me well.

Developing rice and improving medical systems will be beneficial to all people.

He has a heart for the people, is generous and humble, so he is not a candidate for the post.

Furthermore, Concubine Ming's father was a pillar of the imperial court. Concubine Ming's three brothers contributed to the disaster in Yangzhou, were useful to the country in garrisoning the border, promoted the "Hengxin Ticket", and were helpful in repairing and building canals.

Everything contributes to the foundation of Beiyu.

If Prime Minister Qi teaches his son well, his daughter will not miss anything."

In other words, the queen I choose has no choice in terms of family background or character.

Moreover, not only she personally, but also her whole family are outstanding.

If you are not convinced, you can compare.

It was obviously a straightforward statement, but the speaker who spoke was already sweating on his forehead, and he spoke forcefully,

"But this is just mediocre..."

Yuwen Chen looked coldly,

"Since it's mediocre, which one can you do?"

"As for having no heirs..." Yu Wenchen said this first, and then a sharp and compelling gaze flashed out of his phoenix eyes, which was directly projected on the person. The oncoming pressure was not as great as usual.

I only heard Yu Wenchen continue to speak,

"I am in my prime, and it will only be a matter of time before I have children.

What's the point of my love for you to excuse yourself by saying you have no heirs?"

"Weichen was frightened and asked the emperor to atone for his sins. It was Weichen's words and deeds that were wrong." Yan Guan knelt down with his face on the ground where his face could be reflected, "But even so, it is really inappropriate to cancel the draft.

Your Majesty, as your Majesty, you must put the country and the country first, and never let women lead you to harm the country."

Yuwen Chen: "Oh? My dear, what do you mean by this?"

"..."

"Don't you dare to say?" Yuwen Chen snorted coldly, "Since you don't dare to say, then I'll take a guess.

You mean, I am addicted to women and I am ignorant, right or wrong?"

When it came to this matter, everyone could tell that what the emperor said was ironic.

No one in the whole court dared to speak.

They all know it.

The emperor was very kind to the people, but very harsh to the officials.

When things are done well, the emperor's reward will not be stingy.

But if you mess up or make a mistake, you will understand what the emperor's wrath is.

Yu Wenchen is sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a black dragon robe and taking advantage of the fact that he is very cold, young yet brave and decisive,

"A year ago, disasters occurred one after another in various places. After the year, there was another snow disaster in Yangzhou.

Now that the disaster has just eased, everything should be simplified.

Do I have to, at this time, regardless of the livelihood of the people, recruit beautiful women, be extravagant and wasteful, and expand the harem?

If you think this, I would like to ask you, what do you mean?"

"I am afraid, but I dare not."

When other ministers saw that Yu Wenchen was angry, they also knelt down.

Yuwenchen stood up,

"This matter has been decided and there is no need to discuss it further."

Originally, what he said today was just for notification, not for them to express their opinions.

No one spoke anymore.

But this matter is not over yet.

Before Yuwen Chen left, he glanced at Yan Guan, who took the lead in speaking.

"As a public official, he said these words, which shows that he does not have enough understanding of the lives of the people.

In this case, you don’t need to stay in the court any longer,

Just become a small official and observe the lives of the people first."

After saying that, he already lifted his feet and left.

The Yanguan named Li Ran was originally kneeling on the ground, but after hearing these words, he could not get up again.

**

Yangzhou.

The imperial edict from the capital came all the way to the Lian family.

Along with it came the rewards personally given by the emperor.

Nowadays, no one in Yangzhou City knows that the Lian family has contributed to the rescue, and Forsythia was granted the title of Lord of Rongan County as a reward.

Forsythia rested for a few days and felt much better.

After receiving the imperial edict, I still felt a little incredible.

This reward really came too suddenly.

Poria felt proud for her,

"It's good now, the young lady has become the county head, and no one can come to our house to cause trouble anymore.

Anyone who dares to come again will be dragged to the Yamen and beaten."

Forsythia and Poria have different ideas.

The capital and Yangzhou are thousands of miles apart. How could the emperor know about what happened here?
