This person is too strong but insists on eating the empress' soft rice

Chapter 101
Seeing that Luo Hongyan didn't reply for a long time, Wu Yuwen said again: "Your Majesty, you have no descendants so far, and you have been criticized by the courtiers. Presumably you will not object to accepting more imperial concubines?"

Ye Chen was in a very upset mood at this time, because he always felt that Wu Yuwen, who was opposite him, seemed a little gloating.

As both men, it is impossible for the other party not to know how lethal Concubine Nadi is to Ye Chen.

Seeing that Luo Hongyan was silent at this time, Ye Chen said calmly: "Wu Xiang, I have heard that in the past, for the stability of the frontier, the imperial court often sent princesses to make marriages, but I have never heard of the emperor accepting concubines." To pacify Fanbang."

"Wu Xiang, is it true that all the officials in the court are so incompetent that they all need the emperor to betray their looks?"

Ye Chen's words were very serious.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of showing any face to the newly appointed prime minister.

"Empress, what you said is so vulgar, how can His Majesty Nadi concubine say that she is betraying her appearance?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "No, no, you say that, but can you stop the mouths of the people in the world?"

"Your Majesty is unparalleled in beauty. The King of Southwest asked His Majesty to agree to this request. The world will inevitably say that His Majesty is afraid of the King of Southwest. After the news spread, His Majesty's reputation was humiliated. Do you, a courtier, want to apologize with death?"

After Ye Chen's words were spoken, it was like a heavy hammer, causing cold sweat to roll down Wu Yuwen's forehead.

He never expected that Ye Chen would be such a sharp-tongued person.

But for a while, Wu Yuwen couldn't find any words to refute.

Because there are hundreds of millions of people in the Dacha Dynasty, it is hard to guarantee that some people will have some misunderstandings about the concubine.

As the saying goes, the emperor humiliates his ministers to death, if this view is really widely circulated, then Wu Yuwen should really apologize with death.

"Your Majesty, the subject...is guilty!"

Helpless, Wu Yuwen had no choice but to bite the bullet and kneel down to plead guilty.

At this time, Luo Hongyan was a little happy in her heart, because she felt that Ye Chen was enough on weekdays.

If she really promised the Southwest King to accept Murong Fu as the imperial concubine, it would not only make the world laugh at her for being so cowardly.

This would also make Luo Hongyan quite unhappy.

Luo Hongyan raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at Ye Chen who was beside her: "Does the empress have something to say? Why don't you say it together."

Ye Chen nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, you must be clear. When a man is the emperor, even if the concubine is full, they will not delay the emperor's handling of the government when they give birth to children. will take up the vast majority of your time."

"Maybe there will be some traitors, taking advantage of your weakness, to plot for the throne!"

As soon as Ye Chen's voice fell, Wu Yuwen's body went limp and he slumped on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the empress, the old minister has no such intentions. The old minister is just worried that His Majesty has not given birth to an heir for a long time, and may face a situation where the throne will not be sustainable in the future."

Wu Yuwen argued hoarsely.

Even though he has been watching for many years and is extremely intelligent, he never expected that Ye Chen would be able to attribute himself as an intention to rebel.

Seeing Ye Chen frighten Wu Yuwen into such a state with a few words, Luo Hongyan felt a little funny in her heart.

At this time, she had no choice but to comfort her: "Wu Xiang, I am very clear about your loyalty, and the empress is only expressing her own opinion. Don't take it too seriously, or you will feel as if you are right."

"Your Majesty is wise, the old minister is utterly loyal and has no objection!"

"Get up and talk." Luo Hongyan said.

Then Wu Yuwen wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead before he dared to stand up.

Ye Chen stood beside Luo Hongyan, and asked condescendingly: "Mr. Wu, you are already the prime minister, have you ever thought about going further?"

Wu Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief just now, but after hearing what Ye Chen said, his heart ached again.

He is already the prime minister, if he wants to go further, wouldn't he have to go against it?
So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you, I absolutely have no intention of treason!"

Ye Chen replied: "Prime Minister Wu, don't be too nervous. Your Majesty said that she believes in your loyalty. I just want to remind you that you are already a prime minister and an extremely human minister, so what you should think about is to keep it." The current seat, what I said, do you understand?"

Wu Yuwen was taken aback when he heard this.

But he was very smart, and soon understood the meaning of Ye Chen's words.

"The old minister knows, please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Empress, the old minister will assist His Majesty faithfully."

Afterwards he resigned and said: "The old minister saw you today, and only then did he realize that the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress is so harmonious. Since this is the case, the old minister will not disturb you."

He was telling the truth, because in this short conversation, Wu Yuwen could already see that Ye Chen was very casual in front of Luo Hongyan, without any nervousness at all.

This is enough to show that Ye Chen has a good relationship with Luo Hongyan.

After Luo Hongyan listened to Ye Chen's conversation with Wu Xiang, she was also a little surprised at Ye Chen's ability to maneuver.

Originally, Luo Hongyan had struggled for a long time, not knowing how to win over Prime Minister Wu.

As a result, when it came to Ye Chen, everything seemed to become easier.

Before Wu Yuwen left, Luo Hongyan specifically warned: "Mr. Wu, don't claim that what happened just now is about the empress. I don't want to hear bad things about the empress."

Luo Hongyan was very thoughtful.

If Wu Yuwen went out to tell the outside world that His Majesty did not accept the concubine because he listened to Ye Chen's suggestion, then the court ministers would inevitably label Ye Chen as jealous.

"The old minister understands!"

"Okay, you go down."

Wu Yuwen then left Zilong Palace.

Before leaving, he was still wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

After Wu Yuwen left, Luo Hongyan looked at Ye Chen with a half-smile.

"Hongyan, I have flowers growing on my face?"

Luo Hongyan laughed softly: "I'm just curious, how can you make Wu Xiang, who has always been sharp-tongued, speechless."

"Your knowledge and ability are more than enough to be an official. It is indeed a bit overkill to be an empress."

Ye Chen said indifferently: "What's so good about being an official? You worry about a lot of things every day, and when you grow up, you have to go to court every day. It's so annoying."

Luo Hongyan laughed: "Ye Chen, Ye Chen, what can I say about you, but it's okay if you don't become an official, but you still have to pay close attention to your cultivation."

"Now you are only in the acquired state, and your life expectancy is only 120 years at most. You have to set a goal, first reach the innate state, and then you will have 200 years of life."

"You have to be clear, I am now in the realm of the god king, and I have a lifespan of 700 years. After breaking through to the realm of the god emperor, my lifespan will only be extended further. Do you understand what I mean?"

Luo Hongyan's expression was serious.
