Lian Yinlian took responsibility when he said he was responsible, and dragged Nie Linfeng to the harem after drafting the imperial edict.
This was Lian Yinlian's first visit to this place, and he didn't remember the way at all. It was Fu Rui who led the way to avoid the embarrassment of getting lost.
Naturally, Fu Rui also heard about the things that Lian Yinlian couldn't remember, so he explained to him when he arrived at the place: "This used to be Xifeng Palace, where the empress usually lived. When the first emperor was still alive, the empress dowager lived here. His Majesty also grew up here, but since His Majesty has no heir, this palace is empty."
Lian Yinlian nodded: "You can't tell them one by one, you go and call all the concubines to Qifeng Palace."
"all?"
"That's right." Lian Yinlian nodded, "Call all the show girls who are not canonized, don't miss any of them."
"Yes." Fu Rui bowed, "Do you want to order the imperial dining room to bring some more food?"
Lian Yinlian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let them get something to reduce fire."
Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Nie Linfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you need me to help you?"
"But this is my harem." Lian Yinlian glanced at him helplessly, "Although I didn't accept the person, I have to take over the blame. I can handle it myself, so don't worry about me."
"Really?"
"Give me some confidence, okay?" Lian Yinlian laughed. He actually thought about this matter a long time ago, but the starting point at that time is different now. It is the best for Nie Linfeng and the concubines in the harem.
The two sat for a while, and some concubines who were close to each other had already arrived, but the low-ranking concubines didn't dare to sit at all, so they stood aside cautiously, and some of them seemed a little scared.
Lian Yinlian didn't quite understand these rules, so after thinking about it, he called Fu Rui over, and said, "Go and prepare the chair."
Fu Rui understood and ran away again. Just as he was preparing, Jiang Yanlan came.
"Mother." Lian Yinlian stood up, and everyone in the room knelt down, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that you have summoned all the concubines here, so I'll come and take a look." Jiang Yanlan waved her hand to let everyone get up, and went to sit down on the main seat, "I'm still in charge of the six palaces, you should at least know I say."
"I, I'm in a hurry, forget it, don't be angry, Queen Mother." Lian Yinlian lowered his head, so cute and cute, he didn't notice the surprised look on the faces of the concubines sitting not far away.
After all, what kind of person is the emperor?It doesn't exist, don't make the queen mother so angry that she can't eat, it's good, let alone that before this, the emperor never recognized the queen mother as the person in charge of the six palaces, and the two quarreled over the concubine's affairs not once or twice up.
But even Yin Lian didn't know about these things, so he didn't know why the queen mother seemed to be in such a good mood.
After a while, the other concubines also came one after another. As soon as two similar-looking ones entered the room, they walked towards Lian Yinlian with their waists swaying. He was scared away by Nie Linfeng's fierce eyes.
"Wang, lord..." The concubine looked at Lian Yinlian in embarrassment, seeing that he was talking to the queen mother, and he had no intention of resolving the siege at all, and was in a dilemma for a while.
Nie Linfeng was sitting at the seat closest to Lian Yinlian, and he didn't intend to move at all, but just smiled at her: "Cui Guifei."
Hearing this address, Lian Yinlian frowned and turned around, looking at Concubine Cui Gui.
Seeing this, Concubine Cui immediately smiled and called "Your Majesty" delicately.
Lian Yinlian nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I remembered, last time I went out of the palace, I saw your brother bullying a girl!"
After he finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the room.
It was Nie Linfeng who broke the silence with a "puchi" laugh: "Do you still remember?"
"Of course, if it wasn't for him, how could I have an extra brother!"
Jiang Yanlan frowned upon hearing the words: "Why an extra brother?"
Lian Yinlian immediately shut up.
Do you want to tell his mother that he recognizes this brother Nie Linfeng?
"It's not a big deal." Nie Linfeng picked up the teacup and glanced at Concubine Cui Gui's face, "The last time I went out of the palace with His Majesty, I saw two dirty hands and feet bullying a girl, and I heard people say... That's Concubine Cui's younger brother."
Jiang Yanlan frowned: "How does the Cui family discipline their children?"
Concubine Cui Guifei's face froze when she heard the words, she immediately knelt down and looked at Lian Yinlian with tears in her eyes: "Tianjiao is an upright person, there must be someone using his name to bluff and deceive, please His Majesty look into it."
Even Yin Lian didn't have the slightest bit of tears for the girl. When she cried like this, she immediately panicked: "Yes, is it? But he said at the time that he is the younger brother of Concubine Cui, who is so daring to impersonate. "
Concubine Cui cried even more when she heard this: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Tianjiao was beaten for no reason a few days ago, and now he is lying at home. He must have admitted the wrong person. It was the bluffing person who got him hurt."
"Been beaten?" Lian Yinlian frowned slightly, he knew that Huo Youyue had beaten someone, but recently he was beaten again?
Nie Linfeng took the conversation from the side: "I heard that a broken leg almost broke your Cui family?"
"Yes, yes..." Concubine Cui hesitated for a moment, "How does the prince know?"
"Your Cui family found someone to make trouble in the city, who doesn't know?" Nie Linfeng lowered his eyes, "I know who did it."
"Who?"
Nie Linfeng smiled lightly: "Go to the Huo Mansion, as long as you dare."
Lian Yinlian gave Nie Linfeng a strange look, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "When did it happen?"
"You Xing did it before he left."
Lian Yinlian nodded, because of Lie Renguo's relationship, Huo Youxing set off again almost as soon as he came back. He didn't expect that in just two days, he still remembered to vent his anger on Huo Youyue. It can be said that he is very sissy.
Concubine Cui Gui was obviously also confused: "Why, how could you have anything to do with the Huo Mansion?"
Nie Linfeng still smiled: "Because that girl is Huo Youyue."
The hall fell into silence again, only Jiang Yanlan still smiled and handed a piece of pastry to Lian Yinlian, and said softly: "Try it, this was researched by the Imperial Dining Room a few days ago, isn't it too sweet?"
"Mother, you know that I like to eat sweets." Lian Yinlian took the pastry, not caring about it at all.
In fact, Lian Yinlian really didn't intend to take care of it, nor did he want to take care of it.
Cui Tianjiao deserves to be beaten. It is no longer a matter between him and Huo Youyue, but between the Cui family and the Huo family—or the Prince Regent.
Concubine Cui Guifei's father fought with the late emperor in the north and south. He worked hard and was very prestigious in the court. After the death of the late emperor, his ambition continued to expand. Now he is fighting against Nie Linfeng in court. As Nie Linfeng's confidant, Huo Youxing, it is impossible for the Cui family Letting go of this opportunity, even if there is no way to pull Huo Youxing off his horse, he must be skinned.
They both had a good time, and it would be miserable for him, the emperor, to be caught in the middle. It would be better to leave it to Nie Linfeng and let him handle it himself.
So Lian Yinlian didn't say a word, and ate another piece of pastry.
Seeing this, Concubine Cui Gui was a little anxious, and Jiao Didi called out "Your Majesty".
"Ok?"
"General Huo is bullying others, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision!"
"What can I do?" Lian Yinlian showed his innocence, "Your brother bullied others and was beaten. You didn't ask for it."
"But Tianjiao was wronged, he never did those things, please Your Majesty to find out!"
Lian Yinlian nodded, and continued to blame: "Then go and sue the officials, let the authorities investigate."
Concubine Cui cried again when she heard the words: "General Huo has a high position and authority, and he has just made great achievements. How dare the government investigate."
Lian Yinlian looked at Nie Linfeng after hearing the words: "Is this the quality of our officials?"
Nie Linfeng shook his head regretfully: "If someone dares to cover up for selfishness, your majesty can... come to me, I will deal with it personally, and I will definitely give Mr. Cui justice."
Lian Yinlian snickered when he heard the words, if this is the case, the first ones who should be dealt with are those who shielded Cui Tianjiao.
Obviously Concubine Cui Gui knew this too, but even the matter of Yin Lian's meddling was different, he was just a puppet, as long as she blows the wind around the pillow, her father will support her, and the matter will be settled if the will is made .
"Your Majesty—" Concubine Cui called out coquettishly.
Even Yin Lian was in a bad mood, so he could only nod his head: "That's fine, but let's talk about it first, this matter needs to be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated. Cui Tianjiao has done everything so far, one by one. I understand."
Concubine Cui smiled when she heard the words: "Tianjiao did nothing wrong, so there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as justice can be recovered..."
Nie Linfeng frowned: "Then I have to ask His Majesty to testify, after all... His Majesty was there at that time."
Concubine Cui's face froze when she heard the words: "Your Majesty saw it with your own eyes?"
Lian Yinlian nodded: "I helped Miss Huo, and I was chased for several streets. If it's really someone impersonating as you said, then I'll know at a glance."
Concubine Cui Gui's complexion changed instantly, she was directly planted in a pit.
If others see it, they just need to take care of it, but the emperor saw it with his own eyes, how can he take care of it?Moreover, people chased after the emperor, which is really not enough to lose ten heads.
Jiang Yanlan's expression was also very bad when she heard that: "Are you hurt? Why didn't you arrest him?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "No, something happened later, I'll deal with it."
As he spoke, he gave Nie Linfeng a guilty look, hoping that he would not remember that he was going to prepare for the Nanfeng Hall.
But it's a pity that the regent has to help the emperor with so many political affairs every day, so what can he do with a bad memory, after seeing Lian Yinlian's cautious gaze, he even gave him a gentle smile.
Lian Yinlian: "..."
"What about Miss Huo?" Jiang Yanlan asked, "Are you all right?"
"With Your Majesty here, how could something happen to you?" Nie Linfeng said, "It's a capital crime if you commit the following offense, empress...do you still want to sue?"
Concubine Cui Gui fell into silence. It is not right to sue now, and it is also wrong not to sue.
"Check it out." Lian Yinlian said, "The noble concubine also said that his younger brother is not that kind of person. General Cui is the pillar of the country. Someone used his son's name to swindle and cheat. This is to discredit the imperial court. We don't care. Others are chilled. Post a notice to find someone who has been bullied before or who knows about it. Anyone who dares to cover up will be treated as an accomplice. The regent has always been fair and strict. I think everyone will be convinced. I will leave this matter to you Let's do it."
Nie Linfeng smiled and answered "Yes".
"His Majesty……"
"Okay, this matter is settled." Lian Yinlian waved his hand, "I didn't come here for this matter."
Concubine Cui Guifei bit her lips, she wanted to say something more, but Jian Lian Yinlian frowned and stopped talking.
Nie Linfeng was amused. Even if Concubine Cui Gui dug a hole and jumped on her own, His Majesty obviously didn't want to take care of this matter, and insisted on pestering him to make decisions, so he couldn't dump all the work on him.
After such a commotion, the room became quieter. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Fu Rui whispered: "Your Majesty, it's almost there."
Lian Yinlian nodded, took another sip of tea, stood up and opened the door directly, and said, "I came today to tell you that I want to dismiss the harem."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and it was Concubine Cui who spoke first: "Your Majesty is joking, right?"
"I'm serious." Lian Yinlian glanced at Nie Linfeng as he spoke, and seeing his questioning eyes, he just shook his head slightly, and then turned back to tell his concubine roughly what happened to him.
"So I am not the one who took you in. In fact, I don't know any of the people who came here today." Lian Yinlian said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the fact is like this, and I have made up my mind, and I will not change this decision of."
With his words, the concubines who originally wanted to persuade them a few more words were suppressed. Some unfavored concubines with low status, this is not a bad thing for them.
Those who can become the emperor's concubine are mostly innocent, not from the family of officials, at least from a scholarly family. In this harem, the emperor's favor is everything, and those who don't get it may be worse off than the maids next to the favored concubine. If there is a chance to go back home, life might be better.
But those favored concubines naturally refused to obey, and some who couldn't bear it had already started crying softly.
After hearing this, Lian Yinlian became embarrassed again, and quickly said: "Don't cry, if you want to stay in the palace, it's fine."
After he finished speaking, the flustered concubine felt relieved and looked at him expectantly, but Nie Linfeng behind him frowned.
How many warm beds are you going to leave here?
Feeling the murderous aura coming from behind, Lian Yinlian shuddered, turned back, looked at Nie Linfeng innocently, and showed him a comforting smile, saw Nie Linfeng nodded before turning back to look at the concubine.
Lian Yinlian coughed dryly, interrupting the whispers of the crowd: "Concubines who want to stay in the palace, your status will not change, the days to come will be the same as now, the only difference is that I will not summon you again Yes. As for those who want to go home, I will let someone escort you back, give you a house and a sum of money, and ensure that you will have no worries for the rest of your life. I know that a girl's reputation is very important, but this is the end, and I can't What to change, if you want to get married in the future, I can designate a marriage for you, prepare a dowry, and guarantee that no one will dare to bully you, but I think it would be better for you not to be a man who cares so much about such things."
There was a moment of silence in the room, some were thinking, and some were secretly looking at others.
This made Lian Yinlian a little nervous. He glanced at Nie Linfeng and then at Jiang Yanlan, but both of them just drank tea with their eyes downcast and didn't say anything, which made him very nervous.
After a while, a concubine stepped forward timidly, and whispered: "Your Majesty really won't come if you don't talk about the harem?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "No, I don't like girls, I like boys."
His words were another piece of heavy news, and most of those who were still a bit vacillating had a decision in their hearts when they heard these words.
Only then did Jiang Yanlan speak: "I've decided on a good place to go, so come and tell me, I'll arrange it."
"Mother..."
"Don't worry, the mother can take care of this small matter." Jiang Yanlan glanced at the concubines before continuing, "It happened so suddenly, they must have panicked, and they wanted someone to discuss with, after all, they were all women. Child, the queen mother is always more suitable than you."
As soon as he said this, Lian Yinlian shut up and nodded: "Then do you have anything else to ask?"
The concubine who asked the question just now asked again in a low voice: "Then... if something happens in the palace, can't you go to His Majesty?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "If anyone in the palace bullies you, or encounters any difficulties, you can come to me, and there is also a queen mother in the harem, she will also make decisions for you."
After he finished talking about the concubine, he stopped asking, but he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Lian Yinlian sat for a while, saw that no one wanted to ask any more questions, and left with Nie Linfeng. Not long after leaving the house, he heard noisy voices coming from the room, most of which were running over to ask Jiang Yanlan or inform him of his decision.
Lian Yinlian looked at Nie Linfeng and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." Nie Linfeng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is very considerate. Leave it to me to settle the concubine. The house and money will be paid from my account."
Lian Yinlian was amused when he heard the words: "You are so kind to me?"
"This is a matter between the two of us." Nie Linfeng raised his hand and rubbed Lian Yinlian's head, and continued, "But Cui Tianxiang will not let go of today's matter, and you will have to bear it when you go to court tomorrow. "
Lian Yinlian didn't take it seriously: "I'm not afraid, isn't it because of you? If I can't talk to them, I'll leave the word to you and let you deal with it. Anyway, I haven't been a puppet for a day or two."
"Nian Nian..." Nie Linfeng was also a little helpless. Logically speaking, since Lian Yinlian came back, he should return all the power to Lian Yinlian, but he couldn't bear to work so hard for Lian Yinlian, and besides... Relying on him also makes him very useful.
Forget it, help if you can.
The next day, as Nie Linfeng said, many ministers raised objections.
This time, it's not just the people from Cui Tianxiang's side, even the officials under Nie Linfeng disagree. After all, even Yinlian doesn't even have a child now, and after dismissing the harem, there will be no heirs in the future, so who will own this country? To inherit?
At first Lian Yinlian could be ignored, but then he was forced into a hurry, and finally couldn't help but said: "But I don't like women, if you insist on letting me dismiss the harem, are you planning to present your own son?"
Everyone was stunned and fell silent.
Lian Yinlian did not intend to shut up, and looked at the minister standing in front, and said, "Hu Shangshu, I remember that you have two sons, right? I heard that Mrs. Hu is a great beauty, and she would not have two sons Poor, you told me in the notebook earlier that the youngest son is over sixteen years old, I think you might as well present both sons."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shangshu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Think about it, the solution is not for you." Lian Yin said, "If you disagree with my dismissal of the harem, you can offer your son, otherwise shut up and retreat!"
After Lian Yinlian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the Chongzheng Hall. All the officials looked at each other, and no one dared to persuade him.
Whose son has not been carefully cultivated, in order to become a high school official in the future, and now they are asked to send their son to the harem to be a male concubine, who is willing?
Nie Linfeng didn't expect that Lian Yinlian would play a rogue in the court, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but he was in a good mood, and even came to intercede, hoping that he would persuade the emperor's courtiers, he also gave a good face, After a few perfunctory words of consolation, he followed to Chongzheng Hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, Nie Linfeng heard the voice of his majesty losing his temper: "Who is the emperor after all? Do I want to let people go in my harem? It's none of their business?! It's nothing to do if I eat enough all day long. Come on, the tube is so wide!"
Nie Linfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and walked over quickly, taking the cup that Lian Yinlian was about to smash on the ground into his hand: "Be careful that you hurt yourself, this is something that should have been expected long ago, why did you lose your temper like this?"
"Can't you lose your temper if you don't expect it? But what they said is right, you don't know who to pass the throne to in the future."
"It's a child from the family, don't worry about it." Nie Linfeng said as he leaned over and kissed Qinlian Yinlian's ear, and found other things to distract him, "I don't mean to ask the Queen Mother. Forgot about the jade pendant of your empress?"
"Remember." Lian Yin said, "It's not that it was inappropriate yesterday, the queen mother will come over today, let me ask by the way."
"Ask what?" Just as Lian Yinlian finished speaking, Jiang Yanlan's voice came from outside the house.
"Mother's Queen!" Lian Yinlian immediately showed a soft smile, and I bowed to Jiang Yanlan. I had no shape or style, it didn't look like I was saluting, it was more like I was playing with her or acting like a baby.
But Jiang Yanlan just followed him, seeing him like this, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
Lian Yinlian then took out the jade pendant hanging around his waist, handed it to Jiang Yanlan, and asked, "Does the empress know what this is?"
Jiang Yanlan took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "I know, I heard from your father before, I haven't seen it for a long time, why is it with you?" She paused, then shook her head, "It's only here with you." is normal."
Lian Yinlian was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yanlan pulled Lian Yinlian to sit on Luohan's bed, leaving only him and Nie Linfeng behind, and then explained: "This is the symbol of Emperor Yi."
Lian Yinlian was dumbfounded when he heard the words, no wonder this toy would be on his second brother at first, and his father would be so angry when he saw it on Nie Linfeng, it's probably the reason.
Nie Linfeng also hesitated: "Isn't it Yuxi?"
"Yuxi is the same, but it is more important than Yuxi." Jiang Yanlan explained, "He is not only a symbol of the emperor, but also related to a secret of the Lian family, and related to the stability of Dayi."
The author has something to say: Zai Zai: When did the father find me QAQ
This was Lian Yinlian's first visit to this place, and he didn't remember the way at all. It was Fu Rui who led the way to avoid the embarrassment of getting lost.
Naturally, Fu Rui also heard about the things that Lian Yinlian couldn't remember, so he explained to him when he arrived at the place: "This used to be Xifeng Palace, where the empress usually lived. When the first emperor was still alive, the empress dowager lived here. His Majesty also grew up here, but since His Majesty has no heir, this palace is empty."
Lian Yinlian nodded: "You can't tell them one by one, you go and call all the concubines to Qifeng Palace."
"all?"
"That's right." Lian Yinlian nodded, "Call all the show girls who are not canonized, don't miss any of them."
"Yes." Fu Rui bowed, "Do you want to order the imperial dining room to bring some more food?"
Lian Yinlian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let them get something to reduce fire."
Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Nie Linfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you need me to help you?"
"But this is my harem." Lian Yinlian glanced at him helplessly, "Although I didn't accept the person, I have to take over the blame. I can handle it myself, so don't worry about me."
"Really?"
"Give me some confidence, okay?" Lian Yinlian laughed. He actually thought about this matter a long time ago, but the starting point at that time is different now. It is the best for Nie Linfeng and the concubines in the harem.
The two sat for a while, and some concubines who were close to each other had already arrived, but the low-ranking concubines didn't dare to sit at all, so they stood aside cautiously, and some of them seemed a little scared.
Lian Yinlian didn't quite understand these rules, so after thinking about it, he called Fu Rui over, and said, "Go and prepare the chair."
Fu Rui understood and ran away again. Just as he was preparing, Jiang Yanlan came.
"Mother." Lian Yinlian stood up, and everyone in the room knelt down, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that you have summoned all the concubines here, so I'll come and take a look." Jiang Yanlan waved her hand to let everyone get up, and went to sit down on the main seat, "I'm still in charge of the six palaces, you should at least know I say."
"I, I'm in a hurry, forget it, don't be angry, Queen Mother." Lian Yinlian lowered his head, so cute and cute, he didn't notice the surprised look on the faces of the concubines sitting not far away.
After all, what kind of person is the emperor?It doesn't exist, don't make the queen mother so angry that she can't eat, it's good, let alone that before this, the emperor never recognized the queen mother as the person in charge of the six palaces, and the two quarreled over the concubine's affairs not once or twice up.
But even Yin Lian didn't know about these things, so he didn't know why the queen mother seemed to be in such a good mood.
After a while, the other concubines also came one after another. As soon as two similar-looking ones entered the room, they walked towards Lian Yinlian with their waists swaying. He was scared away by Nie Linfeng's fierce eyes.
"Wang, lord..." The concubine looked at Lian Yinlian in embarrassment, seeing that he was talking to the queen mother, and he had no intention of resolving the siege at all, and was in a dilemma for a while.
Nie Linfeng was sitting at the seat closest to Lian Yinlian, and he didn't intend to move at all, but just smiled at her: "Cui Guifei."
Hearing this address, Lian Yinlian frowned and turned around, looking at Concubine Cui Gui.
Seeing this, Concubine Cui immediately smiled and called "Your Majesty" delicately.
Lian Yinlian nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I remembered, last time I went out of the palace, I saw your brother bullying a girl!"
After he finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the room.
It was Nie Linfeng who broke the silence with a "puchi" laugh: "Do you still remember?"
"Of course, if it wasn't for him, how could I have an extra brother!"
Jiang Yanlan frowned upon hearing the words: "Why an extra brother?"
Lian Yinlian immediately shut up.
Do you want to tell his mother that he recognizes this brother Nie Linfeng?
"It's not a big deal." Nie Linfeng picked up the teacup and glanced at Concubine Cui Gui's face, "The last time I went out of the palace with His Majesty, I saw two dirty hands and feet bullying a girl, and I heard people say... That's Concubine Cui's younger brother."
Jiang Yanlan frowned: "How does the Cui family discipline their children?"
Concubine Cui Guifei's face froze when she heard the words, she immediately knelt down and looked at Lian Yinlian with tears in her eyes: "Tianjiao is an upright person, there must be someone using his name to bluff and deceive, please His Majesty look into it."
Even Yin Lian didn't have the slightest bit of tears for the girl. When she cried like this, she immediately panicked: "Yes, is it? But he said at the time that he is the younger brother of Concubine Cui, who is so daring to impersonate. "
Concubine Cui cried even more when she heard this: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Tianjiao was beaten for no reason a few days ago, and now he is lying at home. He must have admitted the wrong person. It was the bluffing person who got him hurt."
"Been beaten?" Lian Yinlian frowned slightly, he knew that Huo Youyue had beaten someone, but recently he was beaten again?
Nie Linfeng took the conversation from the side: "I heard that a broken leg almost broke your Cui family?"
"Yes, yes..." Concubine Cui hesitated for a moment, "How does the prince know?"
"Your Cui family found someone to make trouble in the city, who doesn't know?" Nie Linfeng lowered his eyes, "I know who did it."
"Who?"
Nie Linfeng smiled lightly: "Go to the Huo Mansion, as long as you dare."
Lian Yinlian gave Nie Linfeng a strange look, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "When did it happen?"
"You Xing did it before he left."
Lian Yinlian nodded, because of Lie Renguo's relationship, Huo Youxing set off again almost as soon as he came back. He didn't expect that in just two days, he still remembered to vent his anger on Huo Youyue. It can be said that he is very sissy.
Concubine Cui Gui was obviously also confused: "Why, how could you have anything to do with the Huo Mansion?"
Nie Linfeng still smiled: "Because that girl is Huo Youyue."
The hall fell into silence again, only Jiang Yanlan still smiled and handed a piece of pastry to Lian Yinlian, and said softly: "Try it, this was researched by the Imperial Dining Room a few days ago, isn't it too sweet?"
"Mother, you know that I like to eat sweets." Lian Yinlian took the pastry, not caring about it at all.
In fact, Lian Yinlian really didn't intend to take care of it, nor did he want to take care of it.
Cui Tianjiao deserves to be beaten. It is no longer a matter between him and Huo Youyue, but between the Cui family and the Huo family—or the Prince Regent.
Concubine Cui Guifei's father fought with the late emperor in the north and south. He worked hard and was very prestigious in the court.

As Nie Linfeng's confidant, Huo Youxing, it is impossible for the Cui family Letting go of this opportunity, even if there is no way to pull Huo Youxing off his horse, he must be skinned.
They both had a good time, and it would be miserable for him, the emperor, to be caught in the middle. It would be better to leave it to Nie Linfeng and let him handle it himself.
So Lian Yinlian didn't say a word, and ate another piece of pastry.
Seeing this, Concubine Cui Gui was a little anxious, and Jiao Didi called out "Your Majesty".
"Ok?"
"General Huo is bullying others, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision!"
"What can I do?" Lian Yinlian showed his innocence, "Your brother bullied others and was beaten. You didn't ask for it."
"But Tianjiao was wronged, he never did those things, please Your Majesty to find out!"
Lian Yinlian nodded, and continued to blame: "Then go and sue the officials, let the authorities investigate."
Concubine Cui cried again when she heard the words: "General Huo has a high position and authority, and he has just made great achievements. How dare the government investigate."
Lian Yinlian looked at Nie Linfeng after hearing the words: "Is this the quality of our officials?"
Nie Linfeng shook his head regretfully: "If someone dares to cover up for selfishness, your majesty can... come to me, I will deal with it personally, and I will definitely give Mr. Cui justice."
Lian Yinlian snickered when he heard the words, if this is the case, the first ones who should be dealt with are those who shielded Cui Tianjiao.
Obviously Concubine Cui Gui knew this too, but even the matter of Yin Lian's meddling was different, he was just a puppet, as long as she blows the wind around the pillow, her father will support her, and the matter will be settled if the will is made .
"Your Majesty—" Concubine Cui called out coquettishly.
Even Yin Lian was in a bad mood, so he could only nod his head: "That's fine, but let's talk about it first, this matter needs to be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated. Cui Tianjiao has done everything so far, one by one. I understand."
Concubine Cui smiled when she heard the words: "Tianjiao did nothing wrong, so there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as justice can be recovered..."
Nie Linfeng frowned: "Then I have to ask His Majesty to testify, after all... His Majesty was there at that time."
Concubine Cui's face froze when she heard the words: "Your Majesty saw it with your own eyes?"
Lian Yinlian nodded: "I helped Miss Huo, and I was chased for several streets. If it's really someone impersonating as you said, then I'll know at a glance."
Concubine Cui Gui's complexion changed instantly, she was directly planted in a pit.
If others see it, they just need to take care of it, but the emperor saw it with his own eyes, how can he take care of it?Moreover, people chased after the emperor, which is really not enough to lose ten heads.
Jiang Yanlan's expression was also very bad when she heard that: "Are you hurt? Why didn't you arrest him?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "No, something happened later, I'll deal with it."
As he spoke, he gave Nie Linfeng a guilty look, hoping that he would not remember that he was going to prepare for the Nanfeng Hall.
But it's a pity that the regent has to help the emperor with so many political affairs every day, so what can he do with a bad memory, after seeing Lian Yinlian's cautious gaze, he even gave him a gentle smile.
Lian Yinlian: "..."
"What about Miss Huo?" Jiang Yanlan asked, "Are you all right?"
"With Your Majesty here, how could something happen to you?" Nie Linfeng said, "It's a capital crime if you commit the following offense, empress...do you still want to sue?"
Concubine Cui Gui fell into silence. It is not right to sue now, and it is also wrong not to sue.
"Check it out." Lian Yinlian said, "The noble concubine also said that his younger brother is not that kind of person. General Cui is the pillar of the country. Someone used his son's name to swindle and cheat. This is to discredit the imperial court. We don't care. Others are chilled. Post a notice to find someone who has been bullied before or who knows about it. Anyone who dares to cover up will be treated as an accomplice. The regent has always been fair and strict. I think everyone will be convinced. I will leave this matter to you Let's do it."
Nie Linfeng smiled and answered "Yes".
"His Majesty……"
"Okay, this matter is settled." Lian Yinlian waved his hand, "I didn't come here for this matter."
Concubine Cui Guifei bit her lips, she wanted to say something more, but Jian Lian Yinlian frowned and stopped talking.
Nie Linfeng was amused. Even if Concubine Cui Gui dug a hole and jumped on her own, His Majesty obviously didn't want to take care of this matter, and insisted on pestering him to make decisions, so he couldn't dump all the work on him.
After such a commotion, the room became quieter. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Fu Rui whispered: "Your Majesty, it's almost there."
Lian Yinlian nodded, took another sip of tea, stood up and opened the door directly, and said, "I came today to tell you that I want to dismiss the harem."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and it was Concubine Cui who spoke first: "Your Majesty is joking, right?"
"I'm serious." Lian Yinlian glanced at Nie Linfeng as he spoke, and seeing his questioning eyes, he just shook his head slightly, and then turned back to tell his concubine roughly what happened to him.
"So I am not the one who took you in. In fact, I don't know any of the people who came here today." Lian Yinlian said, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the fact is like this, and I have made up my mind, and I will not change this decision of."
With his words, the concubines who originally wanted to persuade them a few more words were suppressed. Some unfavored concubines with low status, this is not a bad thing for them.
Those who can become the emperor's concubine are mostly innocent, not from the family of officials, at least from a scholarly family. In this harem, the emperor's favor is everything, and those who don't get it may be worse off than the maids next to the favored concubine. If there is a chance to go back home, life might be better.
But those favored concubines naturally refused to obey, and some who couldn't bear it had already started crying softly.
After hearing this, Lian Yinlian became embarrassed again, and quickly said: "Don't cry, if you want to stay in the palace, it's fine."
After he finished speaking, the flustered concubine felt relieved and looked at him expectantly, but Nie Linfeng behind him frowned.
How many warm beds are you going to leave here?
Feeling the murderous aura coming from behind, Lian Yinlian shuddered, turned back, looked at Nie Linfeng innocently, and showed him a comforting smile, saw Nie Linfeng nodded before turning back to look at the concubine.
Lian Yinlian coughed dryly, interrupting the whispers of the crowd: "Concubines who want to stay in the palace, your status will not change, the days to come will be the same as now, the only difference is that I will not summon you again Yes. As for those who want to go home, I will let someone escort you back, give you a house and a sum of money, and ensure that you will have no worries for the rest of your life. I know that a girl's reputation is very important, but this is the end, and I can't What to change, if you want to get married in the future, I can designate a marriage for you, prepare a dowry, and guarantee that no one will dare to bully you, but I think it would be better for you not to be a man who cares so much about such things."
There was a moment of silence in the room, some were thinking, and some were secretly looking at others.
This made Lian Yinlian a little nervous. He glanced at Nie Linfeng and then at Jiang Yanlan, but both of them just drank tea with their eyes downcast and didn't say anything, which made him very nervous.
After a while, a concubine stepped forward timidly, and whispered: "Your Majesty really won't come if you don't talk about the harem?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "No, I don't like girls, I like boys."
His words were another piece of heavy news, and most of those who were still a bit vacillating had a decision in their hearts when they heard these words.
Only then did Jiang Yanlan speak: "I've decided on a good place to go, so come and tell me, I'll arrange it."
"Mother..."
"Don't worry, the mother can take care of this small matter." Jiang Yanlan glanced at the concubines before continuing, "It happened so suddenly, they must have panicked, and they wanted someone to discuss with, after all, they were all women. Child, the queen mother is always more suitable than you."
As soon as he said this, Lian Yinlian shut up and nodded: "Then do you have anything else to ask?"
The concubine who asked the question just now asked again in a low voice: "Then... if something happens in the palace, can't you go to His Majesty?"
Lian Yinlian shook his head: "If anyone in the palace bullies you, or encounters any difficulties, you can come to me, and there is also a queen mother in the harem, she will also make decisions for you."
After he finished talking about the concubine, he stopped asking, but he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Lian Yinlian sat for a while, saw that no one wanted to ask any more questions, and left with Nie Linfeng. Not long after leaving the house, he heard noisy voices coming from the room, most of which were running over to ask Jiang Yanlan or inform him of his decision.
Lian Yinlian looked at Nie Linfeng and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No." Nie Linfeng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is very considerate. Leave it to me to settle the concubine. The house and money will be paid from my account."
Lian Yinlian was amused when he heard the words: "You are so kind to me?"
"This is a matter between the two of us." Nie Linfeng raised his hand and rubbed Lian Yinlian's head, and continued, "But Cui Tianxiang will not let go of today's matter, and you will have to bear it when you go to court tomorrow. "
Lian Yinlian didn't take it seriously: "I'm not afraid, isn't it because of you? If I can't talk to them, I'll leave the word to you and let you deal with it. Anyway, I haven't been a puppet for a day or two."
"Nian Nian..." Nie Linfeng was also a little helpless. Logically speaking, since Lian Yinlian came back, he should return all the power to Lian Yinlian, but he couldn't bear to work so hard for Lian Yinlian, and besides... Relying on him also makes him very useful.
Forget it, help if you can.
The next day, as Nie Linfeng said, many ministers raised objections.
This time, it's not just the people from Cui Tianxiang's side, even the officials under Nie Linfeng disagree. After all, even Yinlian doesn't even have a child now, and after dismissing the harem, there will be no heirs in the future, so who will own this country? To inherit?
At first Lian Yinlian could be ignored, but then he was forced into a hurry, and finally couldn't help but said: "But I don't like women, if you insist on letting me dismiss the harem, are you planning to present your own son?"
Everyone was stunned and fell silent.
Lian Yinlian did not intend to shut up, and looked at the minister standing in front, and said, "Hu Shangshu, I remember that you have two sons, right? I heard that Mrs. Hu is a great beauty, and she would not have two sons Poor, you told me in the notebook earlier that the youngest son is over sixteen years old, I think you might as well present both sons."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shangshu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Think about it, the solution is not for you." Lian Yin said, "If you disagree with my dismissal of the harem, you can offer your son, otherwise shut up and retreat!"
After Lian Yinlian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the Chongzheng Hall. All the officials looked at each other, and no one dared to persuade him.
Whose son has not been carefully cultivated, in order to become a high school official in the future, and now they are asked to send their son to the harem to be a male concubine, who is willing?
Nie Linfeng didn't expect that Lian Yinlian would play a rogue in the court, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but he was in a good mood, and even came to intercede, hoping that he would persuade the emperor's courtiers, he also gave a good face, After a few perfunctory words of consolation, he followed to Chongzheng Hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, Nie Linfeng heard the voice of his majesty losing his temper: "Who is the emperor after all? Do I want to let people go in my harem? It's none of their business?! It's nothing to do if I eat enough all day long. Come on, the tube is so wide!"
Nie Linfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and walked over quickly, taking the cup that Lian Yinlian was about to smash on the ground into his hand: "Be careful that you hurt yourself, this is something that should have been expected long ago, why did you lose your temper like this?"
"Can't you lose your temper if you don't expect it? But what they said is right, you don't know who to pass the throne to in the future."
"It's a child from the family, don't worry about it." Nie Linfeng said as he leaned over and kissed Qinlian Yinlian's ear, and found other things to distract him, "I don't mean to ask the Queen Mother. Forgot about the jade pendant of your empress?"
"Remember." Lian Yin said, "It's not that it was inappropriate yesterday, the queen mother will come over today, let me ask by the way."
"Ask what?" Just as Lian Yinlian finished speaking, Jiang Yanlan's voice came from outside the house.
"Mother's Queen!" Lian Yinlian immediately showed a soft smile, and I bowed to Jiang Yanlan. I had no shape or style, it didn't look like I was saluting, it was more like I was playing with her or acting like a baby.
But Jiang Yanlan just followed him, seeing him like this, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
Lian Yinlian then took out the jade pendant hanging around his waist, handed it to Jiang Yanlan, and asked, "Does the empress know what this is?"
Jiang Yanlan took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "I know, I heard from your father before, I haven't seen it for a long time, why is it with you?" She paused, then shook her head, "It's only here with you." is normal."
Lian Yinlian was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yanlan pulled Lian Yinlian to sit on Luohan's bed, leaving only him and Nie Linfeng behind, and then explained: "This is the symbol of Emperor Yi."
Lian Yinlian was dumbfounded when he heard the words, no wonder this toy would be on his second brother at first, and his father would be so angry when he saw it on Nie Linfeng, it's probably the reason.
Nie Linfeng also hesitated: "Isn't it Yuxi?"
"Yuxi is the same, but it is more important than Yuxi." Jiang Yanlan explained, "He is not only a symbol of the emperor, but also related to a secret of the Lian family, and related to the stability of Dayi."
