Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

A series of system notifications exploded in Lin Mo's mind.

Lin Mo's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

One hundred and fifty years of cultivation!

boom!

An unimaginably vast amount of pure energy appeared out of nowhere within Lin Mo's body.

The primordial chaos essence surged wildly through the meridians like a boiling ocean.

His aura rose steadily.

The bones made a thunderous cracking sound.

Mu Wanrong was startled awake by the noise and raised her head.

She looked at Lin Mo, a hint of horror flashing in her eyes.

The pressure emanating from Lin Mo was several times more terrifying than it had been in the Taihe Hall!

Xia Qinghan also turned around and stared blankly at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo clenched his fists, feeling the devastating power within his body.

This is a huge profit!

Not only did they acquire the two most top-tier items in the Great Xia Dynasty, but they also received such generous rewards.

With the special unit "Phoenix Shadow Guard" and other rewards, the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty is rapidly accumulating.

A golden booklet transformed into a beam of golden light and merged into Lin Mo's sea of ​​consciousness.

[The Imperial Aura Observation Technique: Allows one to discern a person's loyalty and treachery, and to observe their destiny.]

Lin Mo activated his Qi Observation Technique, and his eyes glowed with a faint golden light.

He looked down at Mu Wanrong in his arms.

A pink mist floated above Mu Wanrong's head, and within the mist, the faint silhouette of a fox could be seen.

Loyalty: 100 (Completely devoted).

Lin Mo then looked at Xia Qinghan.

Above Xia Qinghan's head was a cloud of icy blue mist, within which was a snow lotus.

Loyalty: 80 (Heartbroken).

Lin Mo laughed.

This ability to observe qi is simply divine; from now on, anyone who dares to play double games in front of me will be seen through at a glance.

"His Majesty……"

Mu Wanrong called out sweetly, drawing circles on Lin Mo's chest with her finger.

"How did you suddenly become so amazing...?"

"I have always been very capable."

Lin Mo rolled over and pinned Mu Wanrong beneath him.

"Haven't you had enough to eat yet?"

Mu Wanrong's eyes were alluring as she wrapped her arms around Lin Mo's neck.

Xia Qinghan was so frightened that she shrank back into the corner of the bed.

"You...you still want to..."

"Princess Jiu has rested enough, hasn't she?"

Lin Mo grabbed Xia Qinghan's ankle and dragged her over.

The phoenix bed began to shake again.

……

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the window.

Lin Mo looked refreshed and dressed neatly.

He glanced back at the two women who were still fast asleep on the bed.

Mu Wanrong had a smile on her lips, while Xia Qinghan frowned slightly, seemingly still struggling with her thoughts in her dream.

Lin Mo pushed open the bedroom door.

Outside, more than a thousand concubines were still kneeling on the ground.

No one dared to leave without permission all night.

When Lin Mo came out, everyone lowered their heads even further.

Lin Mo stretched.

"deliver an imperial order."

The old nanny who was waiting outside rushed in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Settle all these women properly. Without my decree, no one is to set foot in the inner palace."

"As you command!"

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The ground is paved with gold bricks, and the dragon-carved pillars soar into the clouds.

Lin Mo sat upright on the dragon throne, while all the officials below knelt down in unison.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Lin Mo raised his hand: "Rise."

The old eunuch stepped forward and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court is dismissed!"

The hall was completely silent.

The officials shrank back, none daring to offend the new emperor.

My colleague who turned to ashes yesterday, his ashes are still embedded in the cracks of the gold bricks.

Lin Mo ignored the flock of quails below, his mind completely absorbed in the system space.

I haven't had time to count the spoils from last night.

A dark blue book floated in mid-air, its cover bearing the title "Mysterious Ice Sword Manual".

Next to it was a yellowed blueprint—"Psionic Firearm Manufacturing Blueprint".

The final reward was a ball of red light.

Lin Mo focused his attention on the ball of light, and his consciousness was instantly pulled into a void.

Three thousand women dressed in black outfits stood in neat rows.

On their left shoulder, a burning dark red flame was embroidered.

Each person emanated spiritual energy fluctuations characteristic of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The auras of the three thousand people merged into one, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, even causing the surrounding space to subtly distort.

Most importantly, Lin Mo could clearly feel that he had absolute control over these three thousand people.

With just a thought, these three thousand female guards would be willing to die for him without hesitation.

"good."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

This harem is practically a giant blind box.

I have to go play it again tonight.

"His Majesty."

Suddenly, a jarring voice rang out in the hall, abruptly pulling Lin Mo out of the system space.

Lin Mo looked down.

Lu Zhi.

The stubborn censor whom he had just promoted yesterday was now standing stiffly in the center of the hall.

"What brings you here, Lord Lu?"

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair.

Lu Zhi held the tablet in both hands and knelt down with a thud.

"I heard that Your Majesty went to the inner palace last night and did not leave all night."

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the hall instantly plummeted to freezing.

Lu Zhi ignored everything and continued firing.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, the realm is not yet settled, and many things need to be rebuilt. You should be working diligently day and night to handle state affairs, how can you indulge in the women of the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

"This action is against etiquette and violates the sacred way. If the people of the world knew about it, they would surely criticize Your Majesty for indulging in pleasure and for being no different from Jie of Xia."

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you dismiss the harem to silence any dissent that may arise!"

Inside the main hall.

You could hear a pin drop.

The officials wished they could bury their heads in their crotches.

This old man's gone mad!

You were just promoted yesterday, and today you dare to point your finger at the new emperor and curse him?

That's a ruthless, living Yama!

If you're looking to die, don't drag us down with you!

Suddenly, a fat official jumped out.

Wang Pangzi, the Minister of Rites.

He pointed at Lu Zhi and started cursing.

"Lu Zhi! How dare you!"

"His Majesty is the supreme ruler; his visits to the harem to favor the concubines are for the sake of the royal family's continuation and the continuation of the imperial line! It is a matter of great importance to the nation! What do you, you old fool, know!"

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice quickly followed.

"Exactly! His Majesty overthrew the tyrannical Xia dynasty and saved the people from suffering; his achievements will be remembered for generations! What's wrong with relaxing in the harem?"

"You ungrateful wretch, how dare you compare His Majesty to a tyrannical ruler like Jie of Xia! This is utterly rebellious!"

The Minister of Works also stepped forward.

"Your Majesty is busy with countless affairs of state and works tirelessly. Visiting the inner palace... is out of consideration for your plight!"

"You pedantic scholar, spouting platitudes about benevolence and morality, yet harboring malicious intentions, attempting to sow discord between His Majesty and the harem!"

"Your Majesty, I implore you to throw this madman Lu Zhi into the death row!"

"I second that proposal!"

"I second that opinion!"

A group of sycophants, eager to impress the new emperor, were spitting and spewing, as if they wanted to tear Lu Zhi apart alive on the spot.

Lu Zhi knelt on the ground, his spine ramrod straight.

Despite the deafening curses around him, he didn't even flinch.

Looking at the noisy crowd below, Lin Mo felt a headache coming on.

He raised his hand and pressed down lightly.

"alright."

Two words.

The hall fell silent instantly.

The officials who had just been jumping up and down cursing immediately shut up and obediently returned to their positions.

Lin Mo looked at Lu Zhi.

"Lord Lu, how's the task I assigned you yesterday?"

Lu Zhi cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty, I drafted an imperial edict last night and sent it to all parts of the Nine Provinces via the 800-li express courier service. The edict exempts the people of the Nine Provinces from taxes for three years. It should be delivered to the area around the capital by noon today."

"At the same time, I have sealed off the mansion of the corrupt official who was executed yesterday, and found that there were 92 million taels of silver and 8 million shi of grain."

"I have ordered that 120 soup kitchens be set up in the capital to accommodate refugees, and that 3 million taels of silver be allocated and sent to the flood-stricken areas in Jiangnan."

"The remaining money and grain shall be registered and recorded and deposited into the national treasury."

Lu Zhi rattled off a string of data in one breath.

Lin Mo nodded.

Lu Zhi is indeed a very efficient worker.

In one night, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
