Jiang Hai did not express any opinion so as not to overshadow Lao Liu.
Then, when talking about foreign races, Yang Hongjin asked Jiang Hai for his opinion.
"King of Southern Xinjiang, what do you think about this?"
"A strong fist speaks louder than words, so just hit them.
By the way, let's grab some cattle and horses. I've said before that Darong lacks animal power, so agricultural development requires more animal power."
Jiang Hai has never had a good temper towards outsiders.
The generals in the court were also ready to fight.
Most of the generals had witnessed the previous Northern Expedition of the Yuezhou Army, and many of them were members of the original Yuezhou Army.
Basically no one objects to this point. The civil servants today are no better than before. When Master Liu was here, he had driven away many of the wimps.
Finally, regarding the matter of taking a concubine, Yang Hongjin thought Jiang Hai would express his opinion.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, Jiang Hai listened quietly to the officials in the hall and did not say a word.
Jiang Hai did not express his opinion, and Yang Hongjin did not make a final decision. He evaded the question and said that he would discuss it later, and then left the court.
All the officials lined up to leave Xingrong Hall after the court session, but Jiang Hai just sat there without moving.
Wait until everyone has left before getting up.
Eunuch Gao came over and called Jiang Hai to the imperial study. The sixth brother went there to wait for him after leaving the court.
So Jiang Hai and Wenzhi moved to the imperial study.
"Sixth Brother, your study is really big."
When there were no outsiders around, Jiang Hai would call him Lao Liu again.
"This is my brother-in-law's first time here. Last time, he only stayed in Xingrong Palace for a short while. How about I take you around the palace today?"
Yang Hongjin was very polite and not at all displeased. He was used to being called that.
Eunuch Gao was a little dumbfounded, but when he thought about their relationship, he felt it was somewhat understandable. After all, the emperor had to call him brother-in-law.
"Forget it, I won't go. I brought you some good books." Jiang Hai laughed, his eyes full of ill intentions.
Yang Hongjin was quite surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Hai to bring him a book.
"Oh, what book is it? Is it about state affairs?"
"Hey, no, it's family-related."
Jiang Hai smiled and handed the box that Wenzhi was holding to him.
Yang Hongjin couldn't wait to go to the desk and open it to read.
Young Master Jiang was standing by, trying to hold back his laughter.
"This..." Yang Hongjin closed the book after reading two pages. Oh my god, it's too exciting.
"Hahahaha." Jiang Hai laughed out loud, "Sixth Brother, how about it? It looks good, right?"
Yang Hongjin was at a loss for words. He actually brought him this kind of book.
But Jiang Hai smiled and got straight to the point, asking,
"What do you think about the court officials persuading you to take a concubine?"
“Oh, I don’t know, I didn’t think much about it, they were the ones talking.
The current situation is already chaotic enough, and I really don’t want to add more concubines to the harem to cause more chaos.”
"Oh, you don't want to." Jiang Hai confirmed again, "Do you not want to do it for the time being, or do you never want to do it?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Hongjin began to think, as if he had not thought about this problem before.
I couldn't answer it for a moment.
"Damn, Sixth Brother, are you still not satisfied with my sister-in-law?" Seeing him like this, Jiang Hai asked with contempt.
"I'm not dissatisfied. Shuang'er is pretty good."
"And then? When things are sorted out and you have free time, you still want to take a concubine, right?" Jiang Hai asked.
Yang Hongjin thought about it and shook his head.
"It's not that I think so, it's just the convention."
"That means you don't take the initiative, but you still passively accept it."
"The main reason is that I don't take a concubine. Those guys always bring it up."
"Then I look down on you. You are an emperor and you are afraid of what others say." Jiang Hai cast a contemptuous look at you and continued,
"Can't you learn from me? My father asked me to take a concubine, but I scolded him back."
“…”
Yang Hongjin was a little speechless. He didn't expect Jiang Hai to have such a bad temper that he even dared to scold his father.
As for him, he was taught about filial piety since childhood and never disobeyed the old emperor.
“To be honest, since you actually married Shuang’er, you should have considered her feelings.
Those guys said such high-sounding words to ask you to take a concubine, how could you not know their purpose?
If you know, why do you still follow them? Have you forgotten everything Master Liu taught you?
Jiang Hai asked a soul-searching question, and it depended on Yang Hongjin's reaction. If he could accept it, it would prove that he really had his sister-in-law in his heart.
Yang Hongjin thought for a moment, and then something struck him.
"Oh, yes, it seems that I am still limited and am led by the past. Now that Darong is undergoing changes everywhere, the harem can also undergo changes.
It doesn't say how many concubines you must take."
Jiang Hai felt that there was hope. It seemed that Lao Liu was not a playboy. He just wanted to make Darong better and stabilize the court.
"Hey, are you ready to refuse?"
"Well, let them mind their own business," Yang Hongjin nodded. "Look, I still have so many memorials to deal with. They're just causing me trouble."
"Hey, Sixth Brother, you have to balance work and rest. Don't just focus on state affairs. When you have time, you should spend more time with your sister-in-law.
Look, I brought you something good, didn’t I? "
Jiang Hai pointed at the box with a wicked smile on his face.
Yang Hongjin suddenly blushed a little. He had read little of these things and was not as calm as Master Liu, who was reading them with an academic research attitude.
Jiang Hai then raised his eyebrows and said,
"I'll tell you a secret. Shuang'er prepared a surprise for you yesterday."
"Oh, really? I stayed here too late last night and didn't even go back to the palace."
"Oh, you're just that kind of person. You take yourself too seriously. There are some unimportant matters that should be left to your subordinates to handle. Just let go and focus on the important things."
