"Yes, Emperor, Official Wu's words are reasonable. This subject also thinks that this person cannot be left alive. It was not easy for Emperor to ascend to this position. We cannot leave any hidden dangers that could threaten the stability of the country. "
With two of them taking the lead, the other ministers began to speak freely, but they only had one thought in mind.
They wanted Lian Xiaozhou's life.
Qin Yining lowered her head and did not immediately interrupt. Even though Pang Xiao had just established her status and authority in front of everyone, Qin Yining knew that this world did not allow women to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. It was her good fortune that Pang Xiao cared for her, but she could not overstep her boundaries and make things difficult for Pang Xiao.
There was a limit to a person's patience, and people could change at any time. Right now, Pang Xiao cared for her. No matter what she did, it was cute and natural in his eyes. But what if one day his feelings faded? It wasn't that she did not believe in Pang Xiao, but she had seen through human nature. Right now, what she needed to do was to delay this change as much as possible.
Pang Xiao allowed the officials to speak freely. Then he looked at Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue, "What about the two sirs?"
Xu Weizhi looked at Qin Yining who was silent with lowered eyes. After a moment of thought, he said: "This subject thinks that leaving this person alive is a hidden danger. But she has followed the Empress since she was very young. This time, it was because of the Empress' persuasion that she was willing to cooperate with Emperor. If we kill the donkey after it has left the millstone, I'm afraid that people will talk about it. Also, it will be hard for her to feel at ease. "
"Yes." Xie Yue also said, "In this subject's view, Lian Xiaozhou has never thought of herself as a princess of the previous dynasty. She is content with her present life. It is only because the Empress is close to her that she agreed to help. If she is killed like this, the Empress will not be able to accept it."
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining. His large hand squeezed her hand and shook it, his finger secretly scratching her palm.
Qin Yining's uneasiness finally eased a little after seeing Pang Xiao's actions.
When the other officials saw Pang Xiao's reaction, they knew that the Emperor might not want to kill this person.
"Your Majesty, if we don't kill him, we have to think of a way to keep him under our control to avoid future troubles." Official Wu suddenly had an idea. "His Majesty has just ascended to the throne, so he must fill up the harem every year. It's not a bad idea to take her into the harem and confer her the title of concubine. This way, she will be under the control of His Majesty and Empress. Once a woman gets married, her mind will be on how to live a good life in the harem. In addition, His Majesty is extraordinary and has a noble status, so how can any woman resist? In this way, not only would I not have to bear the crime of cooking the hounds after they've outlived their usefulness, I would also be able to successfully control them. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? "
Lord Wu stroked his long beard as he spoke. He was obviously very pleased with his idea.
The strategists beside him also nodded in agreement. "They all want to expand their harem. Isn't it the same no matter who it is? Her status as a princess of the previous dynasty can be considered worthy of His Majesty, so it's not a bad bargain. "
Pang Xiao looked at the crowd with a shadow of a smile and did not express his opinion.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi looked at the Empress who had her head lowered, and then looked at the Emperor's angry face. They sighed inside again.
The Emperor's fondness for the Empress had never changed. Now that he had ascended to the throne, he was still unhappy when the topic of filling up the harem was brought up. They couldn't help but start to worry. The person in front of them was like this, what would happen when it was time for the selection of consorts?
Xie Yue sighed. It was instinctive to guess the Emperor's intentions. He immediately stopped the discussion and asked: "Does His Majesty already have an idea?"
Everyone's hearts shook and they slowly stopped talking.
The Son of Heaven said that he had come to discuss matters with them, but if the Son of Heaven really had his own plans, if they continued to criticize him, it would leave a bad impression. Also, the one in front of them was a decisive person. Their reverence for an Emperor like this was always hidden in their hearts.
No matter how much they said, the final decision was made by the Emperor. It was a harmless matter, so why should they take it seriously?
With such a change in thinking, no one said anything more and calmed down.
Pang Xiao achieved his goal and smiled: "Zhen does have an idea. After investigation, zhen found that this woman always has one or two people who are in love with her. This person is also zhen's good friend, Mu gongzi's disciple. Mu gongzi has protected him several times and is zhen's friend. If the previous dynasty's gongzi is betrothed to Mu gongzi's disciple, there is no need to worry. What does everyone think? "
Everyone was silent.
It seemed that the Son of Heaven had already thought of this.
Qin Yining raised his head in surprise, "Are you talking about Fang gongzi?"
Hearing the Empress directly call the Son of Heaven "you," the officials couldn't help but inwardly click their tongues, but no one dared to speak. After all, the Emperor seemed to enjoy being called this by the Empress.
Pang Xiao nodded, "It's that Fang gongzi. So you know about this? "
"Yes. Little Congee has been by my side for a long time, so I naturally know some things. It's just that after I went to pick up Little Congee, we parted ways with that Fang gongzi. At that time, I didn't see Fang gongzi's feelings for Little Congee. " Qin Yining said with some worry, "I'm worried about Little Congee marrying over. What if the other party isn't sincere?"
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. A while ago, they discovered that there was someone secretly protecting Zhou Xiaolian. Blockhead personally went out and caught that person. Only then did I know that this person had been protecting Zhou Xiaolian from the moment you left. It's just that he didn't show himself. "
"There was such a thing?" Qin Yining's eyes widened in shock.
"Of course, the reason why I had this idea was because after discovering this matter, the Empress will hide in seclusion. In the future, the husband and wife could live in seclusion in the sect. With Blockhead there, they could let the two lovers get married, and they wouldn't have to worry about their secret being leaked. Wouldn't that be good? What's more, "Pang Xiao raised his head and smiled confidently," Could it be that there are rumors that can shake the current state? "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but admit that Pang Xiao wasn't lying. With powerful soldiers in his hands and the world's expectations, Pang Xiao's state really wasn't that easy to shake. What's more, it was just some rumors. It was hard to say who would believe it and who wouldn't.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi now completely understood that the current Emperor was arbitrary. However, they couldn't find any words to refute because Pang Xiao's words were indeed feasible. Moreover, the principles that Pang Xiao insisted on had always existed. It didn't change just because he became the Emperor. This really made the people who followed him feel comforted. Following a person who was affectionate and righteous was better than following that ungrateful person like Li Qitian.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi took the lead and nodded: "Your Majesty's method is just right."
Official Wu and the others also tactfully nodded and didn't dare to speak nonsense to show off.
Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Since that's the case, zhen will bestow a marriage for them later." He turned to Qin Yining, "You should also prepare a generous dowry for her."
Qin Yining was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Good, leave this matter to me. That's right, regarding Ji Yun and Bing Tang's good news, how about asking Your Majesty to say something and bestow them with grace? "
