After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 216 Harem Interference
It is a new dynasty, but His Majesty wants to lead the army in person. Who will be the regent?
The prince is too young, the chancellor has been deposed, and the supervisors, the three officials, and the six ministers are all in jail.

The rest of the people are in danger.

The court is now in disarray. No one dares to act like the previous dynasties, where they can just say they don't want to do something or just ask for leave.

Your Majesty has had all the imperial examination papers over the years turned out. There are many talented people who have been frustrated and are waiting to fill the vacancies!

In the past, there was always a prime minister in front to mediate, but now there is no big umbrella in front, and the thunder strikes directly hit them.

No one dared to say anything at this time.

This new emperor, who was no stranger to them, had methods far more powerful than they had imagined.

After the court session, almost all officials lowered their heads.

Ji Yunzhang rubbed his sore neck, took off the crown on his head and handed it to the eunuch next to him.

The news from the previous dynasty has reached Rong Peilan's ears.

Now that the harem is empty, how many people are waiting to serve the only two masters in the palace.

Rong Peilan frowned slightly and said nothing.

Today, His Majesty is busy in the court, and she is also busy in the harem.

Not only does the court need to reduce personnel expenses, but the harem also needs to reduce expenses.

It takes one person to trim a candle wick, and a palace would need about thirty or forty people.

The harem must also be reduced by at least half of its personnel.

Before she had even finished digesting what was happening here, news came that the emperor was leading the army in person.

Didn't he himself describe the people of the previous dynasty as good-for-nothings? Is he going to hand the court over to such people again?
This matter had just gone around in her mind when a bold and reckless person came along.

Ji Yunzhang took off his robe as soon as he entered the room.

"Tell the clothing department to alter this dress. It's too thick and uncomfortable to wear!"

Eunuch Qian hurriedly took the court robes thrown to him one by one, while responding with sweat pouring down his face.

"Yes."

When he was left with only a snow-white undershirt, he pulled out a blue round-necked shirt from the middle and put it on.

It's a bit weird, but it's much lighter.

"Lan'er."

When he came in, he saw a pile of Daluo's account books on the large table.

There was a group of female officials kneeling on the ground.

Well, while he was reorganizing the court, his Lan'er was showing off her power in the harem.

Very good, this is what a couple should be like when they stand together.

Rong Peilan glanced at someone who looked like he was enjoying the show.

"Any palace maid who is 25 or older can receive a sum of money and leave the palace. Those who hold official positions can do so at their discretion."

Those kneeling here now are the highest-ranking female officials in the harem.

Among them are many noble ladies from aristocratic families in previous years.

They were all people who wanted to get a piece of the pie in the previous dynasty, but they didn't expect the country to be destroyed in one day.

Fortunately, the new emperor is young.

If you can gain a place in the new emperor's harem, how can you not become a new noble in Yanjing?

"Also, don't think you can fool me. More than half of these are fake."

Rong Peilan had a headache. She didn't expect that these young girls in the harem were more cunning than the profiteers outside.

"Don't use these empty words. Just bring the records of purchases, income and expenditure."

"Yes."

The female officials under him were all very smart and they knew that this new master of the harem was indeed not easy to fool, but they let him off so easily, which showed that he was not a powerful person.

I can send a letter home tonight. It doesn't matter if the court is in dire straits, but there are loopholes in the harem that I can exploit.

"Okay, everyone, get off now."

"Yes."

Seeing the female officials filing out, Ji Yunzhang stood up and pinched her shoulder, "Madam, your thunder is loud but your rain is small." No one was punished, and all of them fell down lightly.

Rong Peilan twisted her neck slightly and said, "There are tens of thousands of palace servants in the harem now. If these female officials in charge are killed, who will do the work?"

"These people will all be repaid in due time. Tell Wei Chi to be more careful with his things tonight. I estimate that many people will spread the news and leave the palace."

Ji Yunzhang didn't care, "What news can we get now?"

Rong Peilan patted his hands and said, "This harem is as leaky as a sieve. In all dynasties, didn't the harem's interference in politics always start from the harem?"

The harem is involved in politics.

Ji Yunzhang touched his nose and said, "My wife, how did you know that I wanted you to be the regent?"

Rong Peilan turned back suddenly, "What?"

Now the harem has a lot of things to sort out, and he still wants to give her the affairs of the court? !

She thought about it seriously and said, "I think this is a good idea. I will go to the battle for you, and you stay and take care of both the court and the harem."

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

-

Xie Qingde brought the Song mother and daughter back with a dark face. He knew that this was the last chance given to him by the new emperor.

He had been the chief academic officer of the Imperial College in the previous dynasty, but the Imperial College had always been the place where the children of high-ranking officials in the capital received their enlightenment.

Because of the Yin En Order, only a few of these children could study seriously.

The Imperial College became a dispensable place.

Now the new emperor intends to implement a reform of the student system and admit students based on their performance in the imperial examination.

The Imperial College was no longer exclusive to the powerful and wealthy.

He was very tempted by this measure, but when he thought about how his niece's husband had been planning for years just to ascend the throne, not for the people's livelihood, he felt disgusted.

When Song got off the carriage, she was in a daze, as if she was really infected with the madness as the new emperor said.

Xie Qingde knew that she just wasn't willing to give in.

Ning'er was clearly the one who came to propose marriage to the Ji family, but now she has become like this.

She just felt unwilling to give in.

But what's the use of being unwilling? He knew Xie Shuning's character very well.

Everyone knew what the reputation of the Crown Prince was at that time.

Even if Xie Shuning got married, would she be able to live a peaceful life? Wouldn't she still miss Kang Jintang?

"Now that you're back, don't think about anything else."

Xie Qingde sighed.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, a carriage stopped in front of Xie's house.

A young man got out of the car.

Xie Qingde felt like he saw Rong Pingyuan when he came to propose marriage for the first time.

The breeze is handsome and full of energy.

"uncle."

Rong Lingkuan folded his hands and bowed.

Xie Qingde came back to his senses and clasped his hands in return, "Uncle Rong."

Rong Lingkuan stepped forward and held up his arm, with a faint smile on his lips, "Uncle, the reason why I came here today is still about the Imperial College."

Xie Qingde's face suddenly fell and he turned around to leave.

Rong Lingkuan was quick to pull him back and said, "Uncle, please stay."

Xie Qingde is a conservative person at heart, but he has one advantage: he never flatters others, and he is a rare clear-minded person.

When a new dynasty is being established, this is the kind of people we need.

Only such people can continuously select talented people in the newly regulated Imperial College.

"Uncle has been a priest for his whole life. Does that mean he only wants to teach these useless people in the capital?"
