The next day, Zhu Houzhao announced the reform of the six ministries in the imperial court. Sure enough, it caused a huge reaction in the imperial court, but there was no intense resistance.
After all, the blood on Zhu Houzhao's saber had not dried yet. At this moment, who dared to oppose him?
Moreover, they had the opportunity to reach their current position because of the death of the previous person. Therefore, they knew very well that if they didn't want to do it, there would be others who wanted to do it.
As for those businessmen, artists, craftsmen, farmers, etc., they didn't care even more about those who entered the officialdom from all walks of life.
Although businessmen, artists, and others were no longer lowly, these scholars still looked down on them psychologically. Moreover, they did not think that these people could pose a threat to a Saint like them.
Although they were reluctant to be on their side, they did not dare to oppose the Emperor's insistence. Moreover, they also thought that the Emperor was just angry for a moment. After this period of time, the Emperor would still need the disciples of the saints to govern the country.
Therefore, although it caused a stir, it was not too serious.
The reform had basically been decided. Zhu Houzhao only needed to keep an eye on the situation below to prevent any unrest.
Although they couldn't cause any big waves, there were still sporadic rebellions in various parts of the country. It wouldn't be good if there was another riot. Especially a long rebellion, the consumption of the economy and national strength was very serious.
Therefore, although Zhu Houzhao didn't mind picking up a butcher knife, he still chose to be as stable as possible.
After returning to the harem, Zhu Houzhao first greeted the empress dowager.
"My son, you are a man of great talent and great strategy. However, you've already been in power for more than a year. Shouldn't you appoint an empress? Moreover, his mother should be waiting to carry a royal grandson.”The empress dowager's face sank. She was very unhappy that Zhu Houzhao still hadn't allowed her to carry the imperial grandson.
"This…Mother, I only have the Snow Girl and Piaoxu in my harem. They were all Japanese, so they definitely couldn't be the queen. Therefore, there was no rush. Wasn't his son still young?”Zhu Houzhao scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"Indeed, the Japanese cannot be the empress, but the matter of the empress cannot be delayed. How can there be no descendants when there is an emperor? This matter, aijia will let your imperial uncle handle it tomorrow.”The empress dowager was very firm and did not allow any discussion.
"Alright, do as you see fit. However, there was one thing that the empress had to be decided by the emperor himself!”Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to retort. Holding the world in his hands and lying on the knees of a beauty, wasn't this the ultimate dream of a man?
However, he had to decide who the empress was. He didn't want anyone to become the empress.
"My son still cares about mother. Don't worry, my son. Mother won't interfere with you. As long as you quickly establish an empress and stabilize the harem. At the same time, let mother hug the imperial grandson. Mother will not interfere with you.”The empress dowager said happily.
"Good, good, good…"
After all, the Empress Dowager was her mother, and Zhu Houzhao did not want her to be angry or even sad. However, he really couldn't take it anymore. After chatting with the empress dowager for a while, he quickly retreated.
"In the past half a year, I have been busy fighting corruption, reforming, and suppressing rebellions. I haven't visited the Snow Girl and Piaoxu for a long time. Now that he finally had a chance to relax, he should go and see them. By the way, hehehe…"
Although he was still young, he was still able to use the human path. It was already very uncomfortable to hold back for so long at his youthful age.
When he arrived at Piaoxu's palace, he realized that Piaoxu wasn't in the palace. After asking, he found out that she had gone to look for the Snow Girl.
"Hehe, it's just nice to have a big quilt to sleep with.”Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao became even more excited.
When he arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he found Yagyu Yuki and Yagyu Piao Xu chatting and laughing. Zhu Houzhao moved his body and came to their side, hugging them from behind.
But in an instant, his hand stopped!
" You…" Zhu Houzhao looked at the two sisters in a daze.
"Emperor, my sister and I are already pregnant. So, I can't accompany the emperor anymore." Drifting Dust rubbed her already bulging belly, her face glowing with motherly brilliance.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Piaoxu and then at the Snow Charmer. Suddenly, a heavy pressure surged into his heart.
"This…I'm going to be a father?" Zhu Houzhao was pleasantly surprised, but also a little hesitant.
Although he had been a father in his previous life, he was only fifteen years old in this life. Moreover, he was only fourteen years old when he had these two children.
He asked himself if he could be a qualified father.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was normal to be a father at the age of 14 or 15. However, he came from the future after all.
What worried Zhu Houzhao the most was that Yagyu Yuki and Yagyu Piao Xu were too young to be pregnant. Yagyu Yuki was a bit better, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Yagyu Piaoxu was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Getting pregnant at this age was too harmful to a woman. Although they were Japanese, Zhu Houzhao had to treat them as humans. Moreover, Zhu Houzhao really liked them.
"Damn it, why is it so accurate?”Zhu Houzhao was a little distressed. He had made the sisters pregnant all of a sudden. What was he going to do?
He remembered that Zhu Houzhao had no descendants in history. How could he be so accurate if it was him? Although he had done it many times, it shouldn't be that bad.
However, there was no other way. Ming Dynasty did not have particularly good contraceptive measures. Moreover, he had never thought of using birth control.
After all, in his mind, he was still so young that he would not let them get pregnant. Who knew…
"F * ck, looks like I have to hold it in for a while.”Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly.
"Hehehe…if the emperor needs, you can pick a few from my and sister's palace to accompany the emperor.”Piaoxu dared to say anything and didn't mind at all.
It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines at that time. Especially since Zhu Houzhao was an emperor, he had many palaces. Furthermore, they were from Japan, and women had no status at all.
Therefore, they did not have the concept of jealousy.
"Forget it, zhen should accompany the two beloved concubines.”Zhu Houzhao hugged them and talked, listening to their stomachs.
He was excited. This was his child!
Only when someone reported that Wan Sanqian had been found did Zhu Houzhao leave reluctantly.
"Tell me, how did you find 13,000?”Zhu Houzhao asked as he walked.
Zhu Houzhao knew that Wan Sanqian was usually elusive. It was not easy to find him as he often disguised himself as various people.
How long had it been? How did they find it so quickly?
"Emperor, it's not easy to find 13,000. However, he would often invest in people or businesses that he thought were valuable. Someone in the shadows has received his help and has been in contact with him. So…"
Zhu Houzhao understood!
