Chapter 1105 There are some taboos that cannot be touched

After hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, Xiao Rulan smiled first, and then looked a little weird.

"Ji Xin cares so much about the children, as a brother, there is nothing to worry about. If you can do so well, the children are also blessed."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Xiao Rulan's complexion a little bit wrong, and then said so, it shouldn't be for the children, what is it for?
"Brother, do you seem to have something to tell me?"

Xiao Ruxun stopped and looked at Xiao Rulan.

Xiao Rulan froze, hesitated for a moment, and showed a helpless expression on her face.

"I can't hide anything from you, Ji Xin, brother does have something to discuss with you."

"Brother, please tell me, there is no need to have any worries between you and my brother."

Xiao Ruxun spoke very simply.

Xiao Rulan nodded, as if she had made up her mind, and said: "That's right, our Xiao family has a small population, so ordinary families don't care, but as a royal family, this is really too rare, so we brothers all want to Take a few concubines and have more children."

Xiao Ruxun thought it was something, and said with a smile: "Then go get it, it's not a big deal, what are you going to discuss with me? When did I say that brothers are not allowed to take concubines?"

"That's not the problem. The point is, Ji Xin, you are the emperor and the head of our Xiao family. You have only one wife and no other concubines. You are still the emperor. As princes, the emperor does not choose concubines." , How can we facilitate taking concubines? It’s not good to say it.”

Xiao Rulan's words made Xiao Ruxun depressed for a while.

"Brother, marrying a wife and taking concubines are the most basic family affairs. Others are in charge of the world, and they can't control your family affairs. If everyone wants to be like this, then let's be monogamous together, and don't take concubines, right? I Just because you don't choose concubines, doesn't mean you can't take concubines?"

"However, this name is really... easy to be criticized. We are all princes now, and our status is not ordinary. If we do something wrong, aren't we also losing face to the royal family?"

Xiao Rulan thought a lot.

Xiao Ruxun thought for a while, and said slowly: "Brother, I have many considerations for not drafting a concubine. First, Caiyun has suffered a lot for me, and I have been living in peace all year round. She is worried about the handkerchief because she is often away from home for battles, but she has been working hard without any complaints, a good wife is like this, I have nothing else to ask for, I just want to give her all I can give her, and I don't want to make her unhappy.

Two, since the beginning of the Great Qin Dynasty, there are too many things to do. I hardly have any energy to spend in the inner palace. If I accept a concubine, are there still few examples of jealousy and jealousy in the harem of all dynasties?Where do I have extra energy to deal with?
Three, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty want me to choose a concubine, but they don't want me to devote all my energy to the government and let them not breathe, but I just want to firmly control the court like this. What they want to do, I will always Clearly, I cannot let them succeed.

Of course, they also have some ideas, hoping that I will not follow the previous practice of selecting beautiful women from small households to enter the palace, but choose high-ranking households, marry them, and let them all enjoy the glory and wealth as royal relatives. There are too many of them.

Brother, I have no objection to concubines, you can do whatever you want, but there is one thing I want to remind you, whether it is you or the children, especially the children, you must keep in mind that in the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no relationship between relatives. I don't need to say more about my relatives' problems, my brothers should also be clear about it. "

Xiao Ruxun said this very bluntly. He has already realized that some people seem to be thinking about where they shouldn't be.

Xiao Rulan nodded quickly and didn't say anything else.

Now that some people have moved their minds that shouldn't be moved, Xiao Ruxun thinks it's time to do it too.

It seems that the investigation department has not done anything to the foreign ministers for several months, and they began to be restless.

Some taboos cannot be touched.

Xiao Ruxun and Xiao Rulan came to the Supreme Emperor's side together, and saw that the Supreme Emperor showed his power to overcome all opinions, and gave his youngest son a very powerful and majestic name, Zhenwu, but seeing the weird faces of the royal family, Xiao Ruxun couldn't say it something.

Xiao Ruxun couldn't refute his father's wishes, so the youngest son was named Xiao Zhenwu.

The Supreme Emperor was very happy, and wanted the whole family to hold a celebration banquet that night to celebrate the birth of the little grandson, and then said that he would start preparing Zhenwu's full moon wine from now on, and asked Xiao Ruxun to invite some ministers to the palace to participate in the full moon wine banquet.

Xiao Ruxun agreed one by one, asked the imperial dining room to start preparations, asked Li Sheng to start arranging this matter, and then sent invitations to important officials in the court.

It is not appropriate to invite too many people, basically only important ministers and main generals are invited, otherwise the ministers who are doing business will have to spend their time preparing gifts and have no time to do things.

The family banquet lasted until late at night, and the Supreme Emperor went back to the palace to sleep happily. Xiao Ruxun arranged for the royal family to leave the palace, and then called Zhou Yao into the palace.

"I don't know if your majesty has anything to order?"

Zhou Yao stood in front of Xiao Ruxun.

"In recent days, which ministers have gotten closer to King Chu and King Zhao?"

Zhou Yao immediately replied: "This is not much. Most of the courtiers have a lot of things to do. The King of Chu and the others have always lived in secluded places. They either go hunting in the hunting grounds outside the city, and they have no other contacts. If you want to say it, it is Wei Guogong. We had a little contact with them, we used to hunt together, and later we occasionally visited each other as guests."

"Wei Guogong..."

Xiao Ruxun nodded slowly: "Today, the King of Chu told me about the selection of concubines. Xu Hongji's family seems to have a few good female relatives, right? Although they are young, they are very well-educated and educated." ,Right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, exactly, Duke Wei, did you talk about these things with the King of Chu?"

Zhou Yao still didn't seem to understand what Xiao Ruxun was going to say.

"This is something you should find out, not me telling you how to look it up!"

Xiao Ruxun suddenly said something emphatically, and Zhou Yao immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I am guilty! I am negligent! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"I've told you more than once that you can't be negligent in the slightest about the honorable and old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you must strictly scrutinize their dealings with the courtiers of this court. Fortunately, Xu Hongji extended his hand to my elder brother, and I didn't even know it! How could I allow Xu Hongji to marry my brother? Huh?
The king of Chu was saying that he wanted me to take a concubine, but he wanted to take a concubine, but he was actually trying to find out if I would allow him to marry the nobles of the previous dynasty!How on earth do you do this job?I didn't know about this beforehand? ! "

Zhou Yao knelt on the ground with cold sweat all over his forehead.

"Your... Your Majesty, please punish me for being negligent!"

"Of course you will be punished! You will be fined for half a year's salary, and I will let you know the ins and outs of this matter! If there is a next time, you will not be in this position!"

Xiao Ruxun's words were very serious, Zhou Yao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "I thank Your Majesty Long En! I will do it immediately!"

"go immediately!"

Xiao Ruxun directly drove Zhou Yao out of the palace.

Zhou Yao quickly left the palace, and while walking back, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

Xu Hongji, you little boy dare to bully me?

good, very good, excellent!
