At this time, the governor of Leizhou, Mu Kangxun, said: "Emperor, I am just to give birth to a dragon son. It is better to take other women as concubines first. What's the point of not liking it?"

Lu Xiufu and Chen Wenlong both nodded when they heard this.

In this era, women have a low status and to put it bluntly, concubines are just tools for giving birth and solving physiological needs.

There is no problem with Mu Kangxun's words. In this era, it is natural. I was born with beautiful women and married. No matter whether he likes them or not, as long as he can have a baby.

And isn’t the concubine in the palace equivalent to the emperor’s concubine?

They all grew up under the background of their parents' destiny, so it is naturally difficult to understand the free love in Zhao Dongting's heart.

The background of the Southern Song Dynasty was destined to rarely talk about the word "feeling..." between men and women in this era.

These are all abnormalities, only a very small number between Le Wuchen and his wife, Zhao Dongting and Le Chan.

"this……"

Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned again.

He understood Mu Kangxun’s meaning. In this era, engagement was just for having children.

He was not resistant to having sex with strange women. He did not have sex outside in his previous life for social events.

However, he felt ridiculous when he had a child with a woman without emotional foundation.

He always felt that in that way, he was no different from a stallion.

Zhao Dongting did not want to become a stallion and pondered: "It will be a few years later. I don't want the person next to me to be a strange woman."

But Lu Xiufu picked out a loophole from his words and immediately said, "There are already several beauties in the emperor's palace, but they are not considered to be unfamiliar with each other, right?"

Zhao Dongting was stunned.

He just forgot about this, yes, Yang Shu and the others wanted to pick him up, and most of them were selected by Ying Er, Music and Wu and other girls.

The appearance of several girls slowly appeared in Zhao Dongting's mind, and then the scene of marrying and having children appeared.

This made him shake his head repeatedly, "No, no!"

His relationship with several girls has not yet developed to that level.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a light suddenly burst out from his eyes.

Concubine Yang just wants him to get married, right?

Ying'er is a personal maid, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before she becomes his concubine. Even Zhao Dongting himself thinks so.

He was repulsive to let him and Ying Er get pregnant and have a child now. But if he only got married to Ying Er, he would be acceptable.

At this moment, an idea in his mind grew unstoppable.

This made Zhao Dongting's face very subtle.

Lu Xiufu and the others looked at Zhao Dongting with a "terrified..." and couldn't help but wonder, "Your Majesty, why can't you?"

Zhao Dongting was unwilling to say much to them, but just put on the airs of the emperor and said, "In short, if I say no, it won't work! I will not accept a concubine now, so there is no need to discuss this matter."

Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong and others look at me, I look at you, I just feel confused and don’t know what to say.

Tell me again?

What should I do if the emperor gets angry?

They were just ministers, and they dared not show Zhao Dongting the face like Yang Shufei and forced him to accept the concubine.

The yard suddenly became silent.

However, Zhao Dongting's heart became more and more cheerful as the sun shone through the dark clouds.

After a while, Xi Yi asked in a vain: "Your Majesty, what is the matter of the Book of the People..."

"You made it yourself and clean it up yourself, otherwise I will deal with you." Zhao Dongting was very angry.

He was sure that the matter of Wanmin's book was also instructed by Concubine Yang Shu and Xiyi.

It is now the end of the year, and the people are still too busy with their own affairs. Do you still have the time to care about Zhao Dongting’s affairs?

Xi Yi smiled embarrassedly and didn't dare to say anything again. The emperor saw it, and denied it at this time would be a fool.

Seeing this, Lu Xiufu and the others sighed slightly. It seemed that they could not persuade the emperor.

The yard became quiet again.

Outside the courtyard, on the bluestone road in the government office, Liu Hongyi followed the eunuch to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Zhao Dongting suddenly announced that he didn't know anything.

When he was about to arrive at the bedroom, he couldn't help but ask the eunuch who was leading the way and said, "Dude, can you tell me when the emperor will announce me?"

The eunuch replied with a sharp voice: "General Liu, the emperor announces you, I don't know what the matter is. It's just that the State Order, Deputy State Order and other ministers were also in the emperor's bedroom at this time, discussing how to implement the Boone Order. The emperor seemed to have the intention of using the nobles in Leizhou to attack the sword."

Liu Hongyi's face was slightly stern, and he bowed slightly, "Thank you, my father-in-law."

The eunuch laughed softly and stopped talking.

Liu Hongyi followed behind and thoughtful.

The emperor wants to attack the nobles?

This reminded him of the time when the land distribution system was implemented. At that time, the nobles of Leizhou also resisted in all their might. If it weren't for the idea Xiang Dongyang had made, the emperor would have already attacked the nobles at that time. Now, can't he avoid it?

He doesn't know much about state affairs, but if he attacks the nobles, he may be...

Liu Hongyi suddenly became a little worried.

This made him speed up a little bit.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he immediately fell to the ground, "I will bow to the emperor."

Since becoming the commander of the Huanglong Imperial Army, he has gradually become a general's aura and is no longer comparable to when he was the commander of the Flying Army of the Leizhou Army before.

Zhao Dongting was quite close to him, and waved his hand with a smile and said, "General Liu, please get up quickly and come and sit down!"

A eunuch quickly brought a chair.

Liu Hongyi saluted Lu Xiufu and the others again, and then sat on the chair, but he did not take the initiative to ask Zhao Dongting what he was doing.

The officialdom still pays attention to taboos. For example, when he seeks out the eunuch's words, such things cannot be revealed in public.

Zhao Dongting was in a good mood at this time. Look at him and asked, "General Liu, how many troops does the Huanglong Imperial Army have?"

Liu Hongyi replied after hearing this: "Go back to the emperor, there are now 30,000 former soldiers in the imperial guards, and more than 2,000 new soldiers have been recruited in the past few months."

"Um."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "You draw two thousand old soldiers from it and ask them to accompany the officials of the Finance Department to pay the grain and collect taxes."

Liu Hongyi couldn't help it now, his heart thumped and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is he going to rely on force to collect taxes?"

Zhao Dongting said: "What can those nobles do not cooperate with taxes and I do not use force to collect taxes?"

Liu Hongyi frowned, "Your Majesty, this matter is probably inappropriate."

When Zhao Dongting heard that Liu Hongyi was inappropriate, he felt a little surprised, "What are the concerns of the general?"
