"Your Majesty, do you want to take a concubine again?”
Among the officials, only Fei Zhong and You Hun did not tremble. Instead, they were unusually excited.
After all, the two of them were the first to stand up for Di Xin during the two Concubine Ceremony.
Even though Di Xin didn't give them any formal rewards.
However, in the eyes of the ministers, Fei Zhong and You Hun were like Emperor Xin's favorite subjects.
Now.
Emperor Xin had once again gone to court and had even taken the initiative to discuss matters related to the fate of the country with his ministers. How could Fei Zhong and You Hun not be excited?
After all, what could be more beneficial than taking in a concubine?
At least, that was what the ministers thought.
At this moment.
After Fei Zhong finished speaking, the corners of Di Xin's mouth twitched.
"Uh, this time it's not about taking concubines.”
"However, it has something to do with my harem.”
"Everyone should know that in recent years, in order to continue the bloodline of the Tang royal family and calm the chaos of the princes, I have taken in many concubines.”
"Although it broke the system of the Great Shang Palace, it finally eliminated the disloyalty of the dukes.”
"However, the structure of the harem is slightly smaller.”
"It's a little crowded with so many people. Therefore, the first thing I want to do today is to discuss with all the beloved ministers to see if we can expand the harem.”
said Di Xin.
However, although it sounded a little tactful and was a discussion in name, there was an irrefutable meaning in his tone.
Hearing this, the ministers present once again had complicated feelings.
The king wants to expand the harem.
This was something that had never happened before in the Great Shang Dynasty.
If it was in the past, there would have been ministers who would have stood up to persuade him.
But now, no one spoke.
After all, with the current size of the harem, it was indeed not easy to accommodate eight hundred concubines.
Moreover... The number of 800 concubines was only on the surface, and the palace maids who served the concubines and so on were also included.
In short, with the original specifications, it was indeed too crowded.
However, this was not what made the officials feel complicated.
In reality, how big was the expansion of the harem this time? This was an unknown number.
With Di Xin's speed of taking in concubines, everyone present even had a ridiculous misconception that the speed of building the harem might not even be able to catch up with the speed of taking in concubines.
"Your Majesty's harem is indeed a bit crowded, so it's understandable to expand it.”
"However, can Your Majesty give us an estimate on the scale of the expansion?”
Grand Preceptor Wen immediately asked.
"Uh, what do you think of my king compared to the ancient sages?”
"Is it possible to be on par with or surpass the sages of the past?”
Di Xin asked.
"Your Majesty is born with divine strength. Ever since you took the throne, our Great Shang's strength has been rising day by day, the people are living in peace and the territory is in good weather.”
"And now, the Holy Mother has bestowed a marriage to a fairy from Empress Wa's lineage.”
"He truly has the potential of a Saint King, and he has the potential to be on par with the previous sages.”
Prime Minister Bi Gan immediately replied.
And what he said was true.
"Then, since I have the ability to compare with the sages of the past, can I have three thousand concubines?”
Di Xin asked again.
"Uh..."
"I think that taking in three thousand concubines is indeed comparable to the sages of the past.”
"However, Your Majesty, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan is the body of the Great Luo. After the Three Royals and Five Emperors, although the masters of the human world are equal in status, they are only mortal.”
"If you take in three thousand concubines, this old minister is worried that the king's body might…"
Prime Minister Bi Gan spoke again.
"Yes, my king."
"You have more than a thousand children now, and there is no need for so many concubines.”
Another old official also spoke.
However, after the two of them tried to persuade him, Di Xin's face showed obvious displeasure.
You Hun, who was good at observing people's expressions, stood up at this time.
"What do you know?"
"When has Great Shang's fate not improved after the king took in a concubine?”
"In my opinion, the reason why Great Shang is able to have such a scene today is because the king took in a concubine.”
"So, forget about the number of three thousand in the harem, even thirty thousand is enough.”
You Hun said.
As soon as he said this.
The expressions of the officials present became complicated again.
"Alright, I'm only here to discuss with my beloved ministers today.”
"How about this, the matter of expanding the harem will be handed over to You Hun and Fei Zhong.”
"Let's stop here."
"Next, I want to talk about the next thing.”
It was like a one-man stand.
On the surface, Di Xin was looking for the ministers to discuss the expansion of the harem.
However, he did not give anyone a chance to refute and directly handed this matter over to Fei Zhong and You Hun.
After all, these two lackeys were the best at figuring out the heart of the Human King. Di Xin trusted them, so he left it to them.
Not to mention a harem of 3,000, even 30,000 could be created for you.
Most importantly, there would be a place to arrange a feast.
At this moment.
Just as Di Xin started to discuss the second matter, the officials became nervous again.
